I was supposed to get my hair cut after work and have a nice leisurely evening, but I got called into my second job tonight and tomorrow. Oh well, I need the money.
I get overwhelmed with money sometimes. Like right now I'm not doing badly. I'm comfortable. I could be a little MORE comfortable. My budget is set, I've been putting money back into my 401K again, and making double payments on my car. It should be paid off by tax time. From my 11/14 check, I will be paying off 5 large bills, which will help out hugely. I wish I wasn't so impatient. I want to pay them now, but I have to wait. 3 weeks, but still. It would be lovely to just shell out the cash right now.
If all goes well, I'll be debt free (excluding student loans) by early-mid summer and I can't wait. I've never been debt free. And I will do it alone, as an adult, all by myself. I can't wait.
Then it's time to start banking money. I'm going to rearrange my tiny apartment so my "bedroom" is the living room and S can have the bedroom. I need to start looking at pinterest and decide how to turn my queen sized bed into a day/bed sofa situation.
I'm trying to do the whole 30. I tried to start on Monday and I have been failing miserably. The hardest things are when people bring in junk food to work (donuts, cupcakes, candy etc), late at night before bed I get cravings and when I don't plan well for meals. Now tonight I am going out to dinner so I am sure to have wine or a cocktail or two. I'm trying to do today as Day one again. Oy
Today, there was supposed to be a big meeting at work regarding my department. It got cancelled, so now I am wondering what is going on with me based on my conversation with my boss. I guess I could ask...and I probably will. Too much to think about for a Friday, but I know if I don't ask, I will be thinking about it all weekend and it will just be distracting.
I found out yesterday I got the job in another dept at work I applied for. I'm so excited! It's really a lateral move, but I'll be doing something I really enjoy.
Started talking to a new guy yesterday. He seems pretty cool. We're going to try to get together next week. But... I'm not really sure how I feel about his living situation. His best friend of 30 years died from cancer last year. He was married. His wife is having a really difficult time with losing him, and living in their house. They were married for 20+ years. He moved in with her to help her out, and be there for her. They're pretty close as well, he says she's like a sister to him. I don't know. I'm kind of torn.
I'm home sick. Boooooo. Why do I always get sick when fu. Things are happening? I missed redredwine's birthday happy hour and tonight I'm missing watching the game. Although I've started watching Gilmore Girls and I'm a little obsessed with it. But at the same time I feel like it's sort of an awful show? I'm so conflicted!
I'm sorry you're sick @pdx18. I feel the same way about the Gilmore Girls. I can't decide yet if I hate it or like it.
My random is that I've been doing individual counseling now for 2 sessions and the first one was easy because I just poured my thoughts out - divorce and dad dying conversation and lots of crying. But on the second one it was a little more awkward. I didn't know what to say really but she helped guide the conversation. I think it's helping.

Gilmore girls is one of the best shows there ever was! Yall silly.
So I switch between listening to podcasts at work and listening to music. I use google music. They just introduced an upgrade with all of these amazing playlists, like boy bands, entering beast mode at work, coding your face off, and worst songs of all time. I'm in heaven.

My friend just asked me to go with him an some other people from my office for drinks today after work. It's Friday so I came to work very very casual and I don't want to go like this. Commutes here are a nightmare so there is no time to go home and change.
I am tempted to just put make up on and go with what I am wearing right now. I wish I had a blazer. All my problems would be solved!
I'm heading to meet my grandma at an estate sale. Cross fingers I find some pieces of the dishes I collect. This evening I am babysitting. We are having a "girl's" night. I'm taking a 6 year old and her friend to a pizza place and a movie. Fancy Friday night for me.
I really want to message the cute guy from the lunchroom yesterday and make some random burrito comment, but he's not online yet. WAHHH.
I hate my job life right now. Hopefully there's a light at the end of the tunnel today.
Something along the lines of, "I am DYING to turn you over and over again with excitement, putting you between my wet lips and feeling every last inch of you with my tongue... microwave burrito. Damn that would be satisfying."

Well, shit. The FI just sent me a text, he landed in the States a little late and the customs line is extremely long, so it looks as though he is going to miss his connecting flight back home. He's probably going to miss his indoor soccer game this evening now, too. Bummer
Finally, the end of the work week. And second the boo on burrito boy, he needs to get a little closer to quitting time mode!
No plans this weekend, H works both days 7-3 so it will be the perfect mix of alone and together time.
I found the 50 year anniversary flavor of my favorite pop tart yesterday at Wegman's. mmmmm chocolate with the vanilla filling. I have not had them in FOREVER!
Poor guy - if there's anything interesting to share about him later, his name will be burrito boy.
Maybe one of these days you will get the opportunity to make him into Burrito Man. But, don't shorten it to BM.
ETA: DH and I have a Halloween party tomorrow. I need to bake 2 cakes soon enough so they'll be cooled enough to finish the recipe tomorrow. I also need to finish fixing up my costume, and tomorrow I'm making bacon-wrapped cocktail weenies for the party. It's not looking good for any of that stuff getting done before bedtime.
So I have a date tonight. It's the marine that I met on the plane in September en route to DC. He lives 6 hours away but he's driving here to take me to dinner. I'm kind of giddy and excited. My new roomie is going to watch P for me. It seems weird because we've been texting daily and now we're going to actually, officially go out.
