Whine/Win on Wednesdays

[vivaladiva]

Back in my roaring 20s I used to get together with my girlfriends for "W(h)ine on Wednesdays". We'd gather at someone's tiny apt with a bottle or two and recap the week, get/give advice, make plans for the weekend, etc.

I'm thinking along the lines of the excellent suggestion of a daily themed posting topic/thread, and alliteration which I :heart: , that we can do a modified version of this here.

Whine - obvs for just things that are making your :@ ^o) 8-D , and support ({) (})

Win - for good news, for personal awesomeness or milestones :Y: (I) :heart: (*)

It would be cool if they were GP-related just to keep on the board topic, but doesn't have to be!

Love Whine/Win :-)

Whine: It rained in the UK for three straight months. Then the Olympics happened, and it was sunny and glorious for two weeks. Now that the Olympics are over, it's raining buckets again...

Win: My whole squadron shut down for two weeks, so I don't have to go back to work until the 28th:-) If only it were sunny....

Whine: I'm still spotting from my period, and I'm trying not to worry that O will be funky this month, since we have a game plan for getting me KU.

Win: I'm getting lots of work done since I can't leave the house while the contractors are here. Woot!

Whine - I so impatient and controlling that I'm having such a hard time waiting to POAS. Friday will be 13DPO so I'll let myself then, but I'm really trying not to. I'm also super overanalyzing every.little.thing. "Are my boobs normal sore? Or different sore?" "I feel a little lightheaded!" It's so ridiculous.

Win - If it's a BFN, I'll console myself with many, many drinks on our Labor Day vacation.

Whine- I'd like to dedicate this song to my cycle. CD45 and awaiting AF to show up.

Win - going to Central Casting after work, as they need "upscale Hispanic" types for background/extra work for various projects. I'm all dressed up and WERQin' a great outfit.

I'm an over-analyzer too. I get kind of obsessive about these things, and as much as I love how empowering it is to know how everything works, and be able to take things into our own hands, I know that a BFN will be tough to handle (we're on our first cycle). We are both "goal-oriented" people, and the idea that we can do everything right and still only have a 25% chance of succeeding is a little tough to handle....

My extreme Type-A self completely understands all of this.

Whine: DH was laid off on Monday. We worked in the same group, so I have to continue working for the ass that laid him off. DH and I are both looking for new jobs...

Win: My birthday was on Sunday and I got some nice gifts. This is kind of a stretch, but I am not in a very "winning" mood right now.

Oh no!! That's awful. Lots of positive thoughts to you about your job searches. And also wine. ({) (}) :drink:

({) (}) That stinks jenn. Here's hopin' that this means better opportunities for both you and H down the road.

My friend who lives in London said that to see all the rolly suitcases in the rain with people basically doing the mass exodus made her very sad. She said it felt like the world's greatest sleepover just ended, womp womp.

But meanwhile, you get your city back and we get prime-time TV back so... win? Sucks about the rain though. Send some of that over here, we could use it over in some parts of the middle, or so I hear.

Whine: I've been super tired all friggin week, want to take naps and go to bed early every day/night and yesterday and today I've had massive nauseous streaks. Annoying as hell!

Win: Hey, those could be extremely early pregnancy symptoms! I wasn't supposed to POAS until Friday or Saturday, but I might just give it a try tomorrow. If these truly are symptoms, they're caused by hormones, so who knows if I can get a line.

AKA, please FX for me!
