bragplaint ahead: I think we (the top three candidates) find out today who got the Chief Engineer position. I'm nervous I'll be offered the position (huge increase in responsibility) and yet I know I'll be slightly disappointed if I am not offered the position. (I'm third on the list of three, so its a stretch for me to think I'll be offered the position.)

Nano is going to be here any minute and I'm SO EXCITED.
Last night was a sad night at the gym. Five people had their last day. Two couples are moving to FL together to start a gym. My former comp partner is moving to Knoxville. Which, is probably good, because I find myself having inappropriate thoughts about him. If I weren't married, I'd bang him like a drum.
Ugh. I hate hate hate ice. It got cold over night here again and I fell on my way into work. Straight down, on my knees... thankfully not on my belly or anything but ugh ugh ugh. Ouch and no fun and when do I get my balance back?

I am liking the sentiment, not the fact that you fell, poor thing. I am still in pain from last week's fall. Is it spring yet? Oh wait it is. Ugh.
There is a mystery bottle of wine on my desk. I have my suspicions as to who it is from, but I dunno. UPDATE: I was wrong about who it is from, it was actually intended for someone else but she said "Give it to H instead.". So it was kind of a throw away item, but I don't care because WINE.
My kids seem to be handling things pretty well so far.
Andy asked to clean up after himself this morning. "I go clean" Okay kid! Anytime!
H started applying to jobs en masse this week after his current company tried to force him to sign a very restrictive non-compete agreement. They threatened to withhold the variable part of his salary if he didn't. Its a temporary squeeze but one that will work out in the long run--he is already getting calls for interviews. I am really proud of him
H is having a crap week at work; he had to fire someone yesterday and will be putting 2 more people on probation today. This is his first management position and I know it's killing him to be the bad guy. I, on the other hand, am actually having a pretty good week, but I feel guilty saying anything. It's the first time in ages I've felt ok about my job, but I don't want to make H feel worse.

I have been lost/confused about what direction to follow professionally. I know I'm smart and could do pretty much anything I put my mind to, but I just don't feel passionate about anything in particular.
I recently became a manager at my crappy retail job, and I kind of love it. I'm excited I've found something that makes me happy, but internally I'm thinking "retail? Are you kidding me? You can do more than this."
I wish I could just stop stressing about it and enjoy this time when I'm actually happy.
I haven't gotten my hair cut, bangs included, since November. I finally had to pull them back today, instead of doing the side sweep. I'm afraid I look a bit like a yorkie.
We are going to a friend's 3-yr old's bday party this weekend and the invite says no gifts. But I feel bad not bringing a present for a little girl!
I have 6 episodes left of Breaking Bad and I want to play hooky and watch all of them in a row.
Yes! He is a hot ticket and its awesome. It tough because most of the new jobs will make his commute awful, and we can't afford to live closer to the city. But we will have to figure something out, because if he could get a position at one of the big players in his industry, we couldn't say no. So I'm being supportive.

My Mom saw the previous owner of my bird yesterday for the first time in 5 years. He asked her how Mr. Tibbs was doing and he finally told her the reason they gave Mr. Tibbs away. They were in the middle of a divorce and were always fighting. They didn't want Mr. Tibbs in that environment, so they decided to give him away. My mom at the time worked with the H, so she recommended me. Once I met them and Mr. Tibbs jumped on my boobs, they knew he would be fine.
They originally told me that they were moving and already had too many pets. I should have know something was up when I tried to call the wife a few months later and the H told me it was best to email her.

I got to school early enough to get a small iced latte. Need extra pep to be able to do the Baroque justice. I'm so happy, I looooove talking about this stuff!!
Still no change for my sister, still on full life support. Visiting hours start at 12:30 today so I'm going to leave work early and ride over with my mom.
I'm counting on you all to distract me this morning.
My right arsecheek is killing me and sending cramps down my whole leg, with pins & needles in my foot. I can see the physio/chiro tomorrow and it won't be soon enough.
In more positive news, we went to see Russell Brand last night and it was the best stand up I've seen in ages. I actually had tears in my eyes at some point. The man is a genius.
Also, he's really really really hot IRL.
Oh and I'm an oldie who can't operate her fancy smartphone: I tried to take a selfie with him at the end and ended up with a picture of the shoulder of the guy standing next to me.

This place has destroyed my filter. Because we can talk about absolutely anything here, and ask questions on sensitive subjects that might be taboo IRL, I keep questioning myself IRL and sometimes I'm honestly not sure if something is appropriate to say or not.

H and I were fighting most of the weekend. We hashed things out and should have been having make up sex last night. Instead, AF decided to show up. What a bitch.
Now I'm suffering from AF induced fatigue and just want to go home and curl up in bed all day.
I have been so irresponsible with my sleep lately. I'm tired of being tired!
BF has so much resentment for XH. I try not to talk about him at all, but he comes up once in a while re:coparenting. BF whiney-wishes he could have met me first, that we didn't have to deal with XH at all, blah blah. Yeah, me, too, buddy. But I made it very clear before we started dating that BF had to be okay with me being in contact with XH. I just hope he can keep his word that it's not going to be a problem.
Last night we had the following conversation with our oldest daughter. A- I miss my cousins. I wish they lived here. Me- I know, it would be so nice to have them here. A- You know what I think we need? M- What do we need? A- A little Brother!!! You and daddy need to give us a little brother! M- . Nope. Sorry. It's just you and K (dd2). A- Aw man, ok. :^)
I told my inlaws (all of her cousins are from H side) and they laughed and said maybe she was on to something. Never.going.to.happen.
