I'm still coughing up a lung and of course I just got my period, but I will not let it get me down because I get to see my sister today!!!! YAY!!!

[starburst604]

Three day work week - I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS.

I went food shopping last night and of course they didn't have two of the ingredients I needed for the appetizer I'm bringing to Thanksgiving so I have to go to a different store today. They are always out of my yogurt too. Maybe I need a new supermarket but it's so close to home.

DS ad I had our annual family photos taken yesterday. Here are my favorites. (PDQ, will DD later)

*poof*

[abcdefu]

Emerald, OMG! Those are adorbs!!!

[seabitch]

Emerald, I love them. Very cute!

I did groceries last evening to and realize I need to go back, probably on Tuesday as I am baking tonight.

And speaking of sister time. I booked a long weekend flight to Colorado to spend some time with my sister and my mom. Eeek only 2 weeks from Friday.

What are you making? I saw a recipe on Pinterest for pecan Brie bites in phyllo dough. Yum!!!!

[seabitch]

TR, I want to like your first random, and part of your second random, but not the last random. There just isn't a button for that.

[cuddlyevil]

I need about three hours more sleep.

DS#1 told me I needed to have another baby last night. I was all "Uh...how about no.". LOL

[callunafirefly]

I had a little bit of coercing to do last night regarding the hanging of lights today. The neighbors did it yesterday, yes I realize its before Thanksgiving - but tomorrow is supposed to be nice and snow Wednesday and you work this weekend. Yes - I still do realize it's before Thanksgiving - we can wait until after to turn them on. Oh and if this was last year - we would already be past Thanksgiving. So here's to maybe having a lit house when I come home this evening.

I am seriously twitterpated and have no clue if he even has any interest. He's SOOOOO different from my ex. Which is a good thing.

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF.

So he texted me Friday night for the first time (nothing serious just joking around about some things), we've been commenting back and forth on stuff on Facebook all weekend, and he sat next to me at church on Sunday. He usually sits on the completely opposite side, AND I had to move over because there were other people sitting in the row so it was kind of a big deal as dorky as it all sounds.

I THINK HE LIKES ME TOO???

It sounds like it. Hee!

Taking a quick coffee break but my day suddenly went from dull to crazy busy.

I gave my son his present early for Christmas. His laptop died so I got him a nexus tablet. I'm really excited about it and he is too. Now this lifelong iPhone user has to figure out how to set up a droid!

[hungrycaterpillar]

And poof. Gone just because it is too sad to keep out there. Thank you everyone for the support. I am trying my best to be kind to myself.

I have no words of wisdom, but am sending you huge support vibes. (hugs) hungrycaterpillar

I had a great weekend!

Friday night went into the city and met a college friend at a bar by Grand Central for dinner and wine.

Saturday I met P and his kids for dinner, then back to his place where we watched TV.

Sunday, we all went to the mall. His daughter wanted to look for makeup so the two of us did some shopping together. It was really cute, she kept saying how much she likes how I wear my makeup and wanted me to teach her. I came back to my place after that and watched Netflix and listened to the latest Serial episode.

Busy with work today and tomorrow. Ugh. But two friends in the building and I are having wine night in the building lounge.

[seabitch]

Yes, Yes, @hungrycatepillar, hugs, you are a beauty inside and out.

[peppermint]

brain dump: my dad's been in ICU all weekend and i'm running on little sleep. i don't have enough PTO to take the 3 days off work this week and my boss hasn't let me know if i can have wednesday off to get back to my hometown to help take care of him. going through all this with him has made me acutely aware that i am alone, and not having someone to lean on is tough. also, this country music hater (new country, not classic country) is addicted to the new jason aldean song. who am i?

[cuddlyevil]

Oh, peppermint, I hope he'll be all right. I hope your boss let's you have Wednesday off.

[sharic]

So sorry Hungrycaterpillar! Please vent here as you need...we will all listen:). Hugs!!

So sorry about your dad! It has to be so hard being at work when your heart is elsewhere. I hope you can get off Wed!!

[sharic]

I took today and tomorrow off. I am so over my fall schedule, Saturdays, evenings, etc! It was way too hectic that I don't even know if I will feel refreshed by next Monday.

I am going to my bf's for Thanksgiving. We've been together 6 months, so it's my first one. I have no idea what to take, and I know his mom would tell me that they just want us there and not to bring anything.

[1confused1]

Evidently xh is taking some sort of "charm" class "in case he needs to file for more visitation" (his words).

Um no. How about you read the court order and comply with what it says. He never has so I don't know why I thought this time it would be different.

[calle28]

I'm sorry hungrycaterpillar. You are beautiful, I hope you feel better soon.
Hope you dad gets better peppermint

My weekend was okay. Saturday morning I volunteered at my church's food pantry. Later that day I had a first bowling date which was fun. He made me laugh and that's always a good thing. After bowling we went to Coco's to eat. When I got home, I was texting with another guy and we met up at a bar for a little bit.

Sunday I was supposed to meet up with late night bar guy to help him decorate his place, but he said his roommates had guests, so we would have to reschedule. I am not sure if I believe him. Sunday was a bummy day, I stayed on the couch, watching TV all day.

[Deleted]

hungrycaterpillar that makes me so mad at your XH. I'm so glad you're not in that marriage anymore. I hope you feel better soon.

I am excited and nervous for Thanksgiving. It's one of my favorite holidays, and I'm really looking forward to having BF there with me this year. However, it's the first one after my grandpa died and my grandma just had hip replacement surgery a few weeks ago so she'll be there, but won't be "normal". My grandparents ALWAYS host this dinner, so it's very much a tradition involving them and it's not going to be the same this year. We are still having it at my grandma's house, but my cousin is doing all the cooking/preparation.

I just hate that things are different this year. For the past several years I've driven in the day before and spent the night at their house to help prep, and it's been a really nice opportunity to spend quality time with both grandparents on my own. Now granpa's gone and grandma's not there either. I am certain we will have a nice time but it will also be sad.

[peppermint]

thanks calle28 and cuddlyevil <3

[jigsy]

Hugs hungrycaterpillar, my XH was kind of the same, always telling me that if I just lost some weight, I would look so much better, blah blah blah. He always made me feel like it was my idea too. "well, you said you were unhappy, I am just being supportive". I am glad I don't have to hear that anymore, but it is a hard mentality to leave.

You are beautiful, I know that it is hard to see that in ourselves sometimes, but that doesn't make it any less true. The only thing I can do is I think "would I think that about a person I didn't know, or a friend". It is always a resounding no, and if that's the case, why would I think the negative thoughts about myself.

My random...I decided I am not going home for the holiday. I feel bad because my dad is sick and I should be spending time with him, but I just needed a break. I needed the four days off and not travel anywhere. I have a few invitations for T-day dinner, so I'll still be able to enjoy that, and I plan on going home at Christmas to be with the family. Win-Win-Win.
