Where's margarita been lately???

[cuddlyevil]

-20 with the windchill this morning. AND we're supposed to get another 3-5 inches by tomorrow morning with a possible ice/snow mix in the afternoon.

I put my work flats on my heater to warm up before I change into them.

This negative weather is garbage!

I'm excited to do nothing this weekend.

I just bought more Thomas crap. I have a problem.

the CEO of my company is heading to your neck of the woods and earlier this week had emailed me to ask if I would book him a full size car, i did so. About 2 hours later he came by my desk and was like uhhhhhh ya I just got the weather report from the dude there in OH and we might have to upgrade the car to an suv or something. then about 2 hours after that he comes back by and was like um PPD i wasnt joking about upgrading that car I am now serious. lol alright so Iw ill upgrade you to a suv but the likelyhood that it will have 4wd from a big box rental company is slim, so have fun driving next week. I did ask if I could interest him in some bubble wrap or sled dogs instead. 

If he's going to be here next week, he'll be fine--he just needs a car with a good heater. The snow we'll get over night and tomorrow morning is supposed to get washed away by the rain in the afternoon. If he's coming in today, he might need it. Just remind him that 4wd doesn't mean 4 wheel stop

yep!

Right now I'm watching Hunger Games Catching Fire and eating mac 'n cheese
Who knows what else the day holds, lol

I love the bunny sweater!

It's above zero and snowing, but since it's not a bazillion below zero I'm all "weeeeee....heat wave!!!"

I'm going out, after work, to a going away party at the little bar in the town I work. Tomorrow I'm getting up early to get it on at J's, then to my bff's so we can go see Pitbull/Enrique tomorrow. Sunday is church, errands and DD's orchestra fundraiser.

[SwimDeep]

chalupa - I love the sweater! And that lip color is fantastic too

[sparksfly]

Add me to the list of freezing!

SwimDeep, I want mac n' cheese for breakfast! I have done it in the past, but I want it this morning.


H tried to get some last night. I got home from work and he had candles lit in the bedroom and was laying there naked. My only thought was nope, just nope. Normally, even if I wasn't in the mood, I would give him credit for trying and go with it. I couldn't do that last night.

Before you go feeling too bad for him, I am still pissed at hime from Satruday. As I had mentioned last week, he is really into the whole Pin Up look and I was excited to have my hair styled that way. Well, I was WRONG! I got home and I was told my hair was "Pretty" and "Nice" in the same tone of voice that I get everytime I get home from the salon. 90 minutes later, after I finally snapped he told me it looked "Hot" and he thought that as soon as he saw me, and doesn't know why he didn't actually tell me. He admits that he was a jackass and asshole for not telling me soon. I actually told him that his lack of response made it feel like a complete waste of time. And since he has apologized, according to him, I am no longer allowed to be upset/pissed about it. I have told him repeatedly that just because he apologizes doesn't mean I can just flip a switch and be over it.

I love your sweater chalupa!

She sounds awful.

[partiallysunny]

sparksfly I... Um... Think it's silly you're pissed at him. Still. Why didn't you do your hair for you? Did he know you were doing your hair for him? I'm so confused.

[dixienormous]

It's so cold. PF is at work with me today. I'm desperately hoping that "Frozen" downloads soon so she can calm the fuck down!

She's lucky she's so cute because last night and this morning have been very trying.

[cuddlyevil]

chalupa, I love that sweater! That lady doesn't sound like a good fit at all.

This. Holding a grudge for a week over a compliment (or lack thereof) about your hair seems strange.

x3. Is it part of a larger issue?

[Muddled]

I'm side-eyeing you, too, sparksfly. You're still angry a week later over hair? It's time to move on.

dixienormous, just set her outside. She'll have her "frozen" in no time

So very, very tempting. There have been many bedtimes when I thought to myself "If I stick her on the porch for like 15 minutes the mild hypothermia just might knock her out for the whole night."

[SwimDeep]

sparksfly - if I went to that much trouble to do myself up and didn't get much notice from my H, I'd hold onto it too.

But now he's done the same thing, with the candles and what not. So everything's even?

And the only thing that would've made mac'n cheese for breakfast better would've been a poached egg.

And Catching Fire is a lot darker than I thought it would be.

ETA: Seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman in this movie is eerie.

ETAA: James Franco is awesome weird in this movie.

Okay, this made me laugh out loud.

[tiramisu]

This morning I'm sneezing like crazy. The good news is that my sinuses are draining a bit? I think practically locking myself in my room with a warm-must humidifier on high and drinking a ton of water have helped. I just have to keep it up so it doesn't turn into a sinus infection. I think the humidifier is also helping my skin look good.

This weekend's plans include going to a training tomorrow morning, then my parents coming to visit. I may or may not go to dinner with my neighbors tomorrow evening. Sunday I may get together with a guy for a bit and then it's Oscars watching with a couple friends.

The guy I may get together with on Sunday lives about 25 minutes away and drove down here last night to have pho with me (I invited him). He's very nice and we had a great time together even though I was blowing my nose a ton.

[cuddlyevil]

The plug to my flat iron is bent. My hair doesn't look so great today, but part of me is all "it's -20 and you have a hat on, fuck it".

[sparksfly]

The deeper issue is that he claims, that I am never in the mood. I don't initiate sex often enough. Which I will admit I don't and I have explained to him why I don't. We have held conversations about this, I would like him to touch me, compliment me, and do something randomly to make me smile without the expectation of sex. And we can add in my body issues (still haven't made it back the gym) and I know the body issues are in my head.

So, when I decided to get the Pin Up look, I (yes, it wasn't all for him it was for me too) was thinking, "Ok, I will style my hair different, in a way that I know he will really like and enjoy." Pretty much doing something I have asked him to do for a while, taking my own advice. Him barely noticing and reacting hurt. And when he is all concerned about being in front of the TV for a race that was on, before telling me I looked hot, just kind of pushed me over the edge.

For a minute I thought you meant 2 parasites.

[kaneen]

I'm working from home today wearing flannel pajamas. They are Christmas pajamas. I don't care.

[cuddlyevil]

sparksfly, has he been trying to give you what you need/ask for (the touches, compliments, etc.)? Or has it been more of an "all talk, no action" kind of a situation?

[tiramisu]

sparksfly your reaction makes more sense now. Honestly, if you've tried talking about it and nothing's changed, have you thought about talking it out together with a therapist? Sometimes the neutral third party is needed to help people understand what their partner is asking and why it's important.
