Wednesday WTF/Wonderfuls

[doriswe]

Tell me all the wonderfuls and WTFs!

[doriswe]

Wonderful - I'm really feeling positive and good about life, as of late. This is a huge change since I was getting sucked into the negative shit around here. I don't fit the mold here, and that's A-Okay!

Wonderful - My kids are really being awesome lately. No sassing, no back-talk, lots of snuggles and "I love you".

Wonderful - I continuously get picked to give tours of the prison, which is pretty cool.

WTF - Why does my body hate me lately?!?

[dixienormous]

Wonderfuls: I have so many good ideas for craft stuff to make and try to sell.

WTF: I have no energy to actually DO the crafts. And I'm kind of scared to put myself out there and try to sell my stuff. I keep telling myself that my stuff is good and will sell, but I am terrified to fail.

Wonderful: I'm obsessing over some of my favorite musicals again. I miss having singable music in my life. I need to get back into singing. Even if it's just to PF or when I'm cleaning.

WTF: My toilet is disgusting and the 3 stores I've been to don't have the toilet scrubbers that I use/want. All they have are those bleach discs for the tank. I don't need that! I need to scrub the bowl, dammit!

[tiramisu]

Wonderful:
-I was specifically requested for a new client at work. I'm not sure why our principal thinks I would be best with him, but I'll take it.
-I have my pretty cashmere yarn and am excited to start making a scarf.
-I had a 90 min massage on Monday.
-Sex last night.

WTF:
-Leo trying to escape from the apartment as I was walking in.
-My alarm clock that simulates a sunrise hasn't been lit up when I wake up. I don't know if I'm snoozing it in my sleep or what's happening. It was supposed to be on almost an hour ago and I still don't see it lighting up. Not helpful!

[partiallysunny]

Wonderful: I feel like I'm finally coming into my own. Knowing who I am and what I want. It's giving me more confidence, which I like. Not so self conscious.

WTF: I wish I could figure out a healthy balance with my family. I'm so tired of being stressed out by them. I'm trying to change my attitude and be more breezy. They don't call, they don't call. Nbd. They don't make plans for the holidays or make plans too late that I can't make it, oh well. Not the end of the world. But it's hard and I'm constantly reminding myself to be casual and don't go out of my way for people who cause me nothing but grief.

[neonpink]

Wonderful: It's raining and I'm wearing my new Peacock colored hunters. I am excited about it.
I've been back to doing yoga more and eating healthy. I am down two pounds. It may mostly be water weight but it makes me happy to see the scale go down.

WTF: H was in an irritable mood yesterday and sequestered himself away. I have no idea what his deal was, but I'm glad he was crabby somewhere else. It allowed me to watch Top Chef.

[smock]

Wonderful: I just drank a delicious cup of tea with lots of sugar. It's the simple things. I also worked out this morning and deadlifted 90 pounds (which is a new personal best post-baby).

WTF: I feel like I have massive PMS. Like, massive. I'm bloated, crampy, cranky, and starving. I don't like it.

[captainmel]

WTF River. The rat is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow so you decide to fuck up one of your claws so badly it needs to be removed yesterday?!?! River is a needy, AW, kitty who is having emergency surgery today. It's cool guys, I didn't want that money anyway.

No wonderfuls. I'll need a lot of coffee and maybe 10 donuts before I can come up with something.

[partiallysunny]

Ouch captainmel. When it rains, it pours.

[dixienormous]

captainmel - this totally means that when you and Boyfriend get engaged/married, River is going to thunderjack you. He'll get engaged and steal all of your ideas.

[kaneen]

WTF - See my random thread. Fucking asshole client.

Wonderful - My lunch plans with my boss just got changed to dinner/drinks tonight instead. This is wonder on more than one level. First, today has gotten really crazy (see above which started at midnight last night) and getting out for lunch was starting to feel like a burden. Second, because, drinks.

[tiramisu]

Pssst dixienormous. They are engaged but they're not telling anyone IRL.

[Deleted]

Wonderful-my mortgage refinance is finally done...all signed and ready to go.
the car insurance came up in the number for the totaled car
I only have a 3 day work week next week

WTF- I can not keep my eyes open
my co-worker from yesterday is behind me fucking rambling on about his college years
OMG SHTFU he has been talking for 20 min. straight non stop not coming up for air.

[margarita]

Wonderful: We got the car stuff sorted out and have gone for another lease at VW! I'm glad we got that out of the way, and we're getting a blue car, which will be a nice change. We've only ever driven white, grey and silver cars. lol
Time for something new!

Also, it's a gorgeous fall day here, and I'm planning to take a long walk at lunch.

WTF: This morning, I noticed a few bites on my arms that look like mosquito bites. We have noticed some mosquitoes and ladybugs coming in the house lately, but why am I being bitten? In October?
A super helpful friend of mine was listening to me vent about this earlier and said, "Um...maybe it's bedbugs!"
No. NO. Nopenopenope. Now I'm all paranoid! What the hell?
How do I know if it's bedbugs? It's from mosquitoes, right?
Someone hold me.

Well shit. Where the hell have I been?

Also - cue River being a thunderjacking jerkoff

Pull your sheets and mattress pad off the bed.  Looks for little pinprick red dots.  These are blood.  When bedbugs bite they draw a teensy tiny bit of blood and it stains the mattress.  If you've got these little red dot on your mattress, you probably have bed bugs.

This brought to you by the paranoid traveler who checks every mattress is every hotel room.

[cuddlyevil]

Wonderful: waiting for an interview to finish and have been offered coffee or water no less than three times. Hospital administration offices are fabulous.

Wonderful: Free lunch, pulled pork and brownies.

WTF: My hair is windblown.

[gault]

Wonderful: Two days of Halloween at work, and also a heavy metal concert on Halloween with the new guy in our Halloween costumes
Wonderful: Wearing scarves again
Wonderful: Working from home

WTF: My IBS has been acting up lately and it does not make for a lot of fun.
WTF: Lots of work deadlines due at the end of the year and not being able to do much about them yet
WTF: I am getting panicky about my lack of control over my weight

[spindle92]

Wonderful

-sweet snuggly kitties who love to hang with me during the day.
-The banana cream pie that is sitting in the fridge. Hello lunch.

WTF
-damn messed up sleep is REALLY starting to get on my nerves. My joints ach today because I got such little sleep last night.
-stupid dealership taking 3 hours to call me back to schedule a simple appointment.

[turtle1120]

Wonderful: Today is DD's 4th birthday and she was so excited this morning! I can't wait to get home and celebrate with her.

WTF: We had a team meeting at work today wherein our boss rambled on and on about meaningless bullshit and never once mentioned the fact that one of our paralegals is leaving, or asked if there was anything anyone wanted to address!

[captainmel]

dixienormous, margarita, partiallysunny, we haven't decided when we're officially announcing but we have been planning! We have a date, I have one of three dresses selected, we have colors, venue is picked. I'm pretty sure my mom has figured it out because she's allowed to see my secret wedding board on pinterest and traffic has been heavy lately.

Also, River is totally going to be the ring bearer!!!!!! We'll just tap a can of baby food at the top of the aisle so he'll come running!

[partiallysunny]

captainmel tell me why it's a secret again? I forget.

Also, what's the date and the colors! Share details, please. I'm so excited River is going to be the ring bearer!

[tiramisu]

captainmel I request to be tagged in all future secret wedding posts. I'm so excited for you!

[tiramisu]

I have another WTF:

My mom just told me that she and my father will be in NJ for Thanksgiving. When she previously talked with me about the holidays it sounded like something for all of us to consider, going to NJ to be with my grandma.

I looked up flights and I can afford it if I buy now, but part of me is so hurt by not being included that I don't want to plan to go. I really don't want to calm her back right now. I broke dien crying on the phone.

I know this makes me a huge dramatic baby, but I'm an only child. I've gone out of my way to make sure I saw my parents on holidays even when I was married. This stings.

[tiramisu]

I bought a ticket and my mom and I talked. I feel better.

[captainmel]

partiallysunny, it isn't really a thuper threct level secret. My mom REALLY wants us to get married (religious reasons). The second we tell her it might be a real thing she's going to run with ith. We just wanted to have a little bit of time to relax about things before they get crazy busy. My mother also thinks a 4 month engagement is absolutely long enough. And we aren't planning anything until 2016.
