Randoms go here.

I am sitting here with cramps like nobody's business. All I want for dinner is a pound of chocolate and an entire bottle of red wine. I'm moderately irritated that R wants in-n-out.
I am seeing more and more people on my local yard sale site, specifically, using 'n' as a substitute for 'and' and it is pissing me off. Totally. Is it really that hard to type two extra letters?
Also, R has replaced most of the burnt out lights on our tree, but there's one string remaining. I just noticed that it looks like a bird (the dark spot). Lower third:

Random: how come when I am "Christmas shopping" I only find things for myself. Then I spend money buying some of those things. Then I'm annoyed that I still have to buy gifts and have already spent a ton of money.

I have to present my portfolio tomorrow and am struggling with my last slide. I have to have at least one project from a specific class, and, although I did well, I really don't care to show that work. At first I was all, I'll just take pics and put them in the slide, but it looks like crap because I can't get them perfect. So, now I'm reworking everything into a digital board and I really don't have time. I don't have time, that's why I'm here.

I feel like I have so much to do and DH keeps asking me what the plan is for my day off and I list what I have to do and his response was what am I going to do....hmm this should be fun.
I'm already burnt out on christmas gifts. Our moms took all the fun out of gifts because we had to send them links and they made it difficult.

I also have cramps, but it's because I need to go to the bathroom and I can't. Pregnancy side effects are FANTASTIC.

I have a potluck tomorrow for work and we have 2 ovens - one is needed for the ham - so I'm not sure what to make in a crockpot since I'll be leaving my house at 8 a.m. and potluck starts at noon.

Also needed: Suggestions for what to buy 28 people I work with, some of whom make 5x what I make. I was going to make oreo truffles but most everyone will be gone by Monday and I don't know that I'll have time tonight to make that many truffles.

Apparently I am the only person at the clinic where I get my allergy shots that has an 8-5 weekday job. Okay so very likely that's not true, but I've been going for 3 weeks now and go twice a week. Every time, everyone in the waiting room but me is dressed very casually like they threw on clothes just to go get their shot and return home. In the meantime I'm sitting there in dress clothes and high heels. LOL.

Amazon always has the unexpected.

OMG LOL. Many of you may know that I do medical records reviews for an orthopedic surgery office. If not, well, now you know. Anyhow, just now, I'm reading some records (internal) from a chiropractors office. The assistant doing the medical history on this patient wrote under "Medical History" that the patient has "High Pretention". I have to presume that he/she meant hypertension (high blood pressure) but L.O.F.L. that this poor patient was called pretentious by a medical assistant. LOLOLOL

Also, it was clearly not a transcription error, but rather the result of a not-too-bright assistant, because the note was handwritten. I'm guessing that she didn't know how to spell it and so used the voice recognition on her phone to get the spelling and got something entirely wrong instead.

Fantastic mrs.jacinthe lol.

Love coming home to a letter from the mortgage company indicating they did an escrow analysis which resulted in a "large overbalance" and a refund check is coming in future. SWEET!!!

I had Cap'n Crunch for dinner. YUM!!!

My kids are driving me insane. One doesn't know what he wants. The other won't stop talking. The big one thinks she's the boss of the little. The little has caught on to that game and isn't having it.

Pour. Wine. Now.

The kids however are going to daycare tomorrow and I don't work so I am doing ALL the Christmas things ALL by myself.

I will let you know by 11am CST how that Schnapps in my hot chocolate is working.

[mrsemilys]

I am feeling on top of all the Christmas things so that is awesome. House is clean (will need to be cleaned again next week but I digress), food and alcohol is in the house for through the weekend. DD and I have to make 4 doz cookies tomorrow for her school program on Friday so hopefully that is a fun experience but you never know with a 3.5 year old.

DH and I decided we would be good diet and drinking wise this week b/c we know it is all downhill until after New Years. I lasted 1 day..... #winning #mamaneedswine

YES, is right!  It's money I overpaid so it's not like it's lottery winnings or something but still nice at this time of year!  A decrease in amount is always nice too!!! 

And yay for Cap'n Crunch dinners!  I compared the nutrition to SpecialK and the little bit "healthier" that SpecialK is wasn't worth it for me tonight.  The Cap'n Crunch hit the spot!!!

I am telling you right now unless you want to down an entire bottle of wine tomorrow night, break and bake those cookies stat. 
What a mess. Impatient Child. More Mess. Meltdown before the damn things were done. Liked sprinkling sugar on.

I will keep this in mind.  We made cookies last week and it was ok because I was on the ball and did it quickly plus DD got to eat 3 cookies worth of dough and cookies.  I will report back.....and drink a ton of wine tomorrow night regardless
