Friday Happiness

[josieposy]

I'm about 99.5% sure that I'm passing probation at the end of this month and (according to my boss) getting a raise after the 4th.

Woot!!!

I'm going to be an aunt! My sister who eloped in April is pregnant, and my stepsister is as well (after a long road of IVF.)

Would it be inappropriate to plan a joint shower? They're due within 4 weeks of each other and I live 8+ hours away.

They did it for my SILs (3 weeks apart). It's fine.

I'm having a good boob day.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm I got nothing. But dear god I'm here. So I will be happy about that.

Upright and breathing. Good start.

The sun is shining and it is beautiful outside. That is my joy today. That, and a big steaming cup of coffee.

[Vespasia]

Today is doggie day! I can't wait to get off work and go pick her up.

Last night was the Kindergarten performance at school. I'm in a military town, so the kids sang God Bless the USA, then handed out flags to all who serve/have served (pretty much everyone). I am such a sucker, and was using all of my strength to not cry, LOL.

My teacher made us sing that while my dad was deployed. My poor mom!

i just found out about a show that i REEEEEEEAAALLLLY want to go to. it's basically 2 rock photographers (Pattie Boyd and Henry Diltz, if you're into that) doing an exhibition/presentation of their images. I WANT TO GO.

the problem? i bought tickets to the same venue for H for our anniversary and that show (Bob Mould) is 4 days later. i can't email him about my show without him finding out about HIS show and there's no way we can go to this place twice in 4 days.

I WANNA GO!!!

but i'll be happy with going to see Bob Mould. he's the tits.

I lost two pounds since my last weight check. BAM.

My hair looks good today, I guess?

I'll see if I find more.

Ruth Bader Ginsbird is on Sesame Street.

We're discussing The Wire at work today. I discovered a shared love of Idris with my newest coworker.

UD lipgloss in 69 is the tits.

I'm going to Vegas tomorrow!

[mbcdefg]

DDed because I showed this pic to coworkers and don't want them finding me, lol. 

[orangeblossom]

My doggy is coming home today. We sent him to the dog sitter, while we dealt with the craziness of moving two houses into one new house.



Oh, and I got a free egg soufflé from Panera. They'd preloaded $5 onto my card. I just had to do an online order/rapid pickup. Sure, no problem. I love Free

IT'S FRIDAY!

I get to leave work in 45 minutes!

New boss started this week. I am buried under new responsibilities right now, but I really, really, really like him. For example, every year  our office closes for a bit and goes to a local food fest for a lunch this time of year. Secretary emailed boss a few weeks ago asking about permission. He called secretary this morning, apologized for not getting back sooner and said everyone must go, don't worry about workloads right now. She said we'd be back by one, and he said this isn't something you rush, go and enjoy. 

Guilt-fee gyros, baklava, and honey puffs are coming right up

I just have to make it through the day, then it's vacation time!

[twotrue]

We have three interviews today for a position in my department. One was great, one was like pulling teeth, and now I'm eating a cupcake while I wait for the third one.

[ajj]

I don't know how to post YouTube videos. Hopefully this link works. This is making my day today. It's hip hop done as Broadway.

When they got to bitch better have my money, I lost it.

[penguingrrl]

One week and two days until we're back home! I can't wait to live near my mom and ILs again (they're all genuinely great) and to be near friends!

[sugarglider]

Half the office is out today. I also found out that my firm's management committee approved my pro bono request. Yay!

[5thofjuly]

I just finished editing another chapter for my book and did so while sitting in our screened-in porch. Our house is one of several on a nice little pond that currently has one of the neighbor kids paddleboating on it, and there are tons of geese walking around. It feels like my office is in a park. THIS is how people are supposed to work. Even grading papers is less terrible this way.

I LOVE THIS AND NEED TO SEE IT STAT!!! 

(WHY am I posting like @koko today?!)

[zelda25]

I reconnected with one of my very best friends from college via FB last night. I lost track of her over 20 years ago, so I'm beyond excited to be in touch with her again. She actually lives only 2-3 hours from me, so I hope we can get together soon.
