Who has first world problems tonight?

[Deleted]

I got cork sediment all up in my wineglass!

Also my air conditioning is at 71 and I'm still hot.

We used up all our free hotel stays this summer and we won't have enough by Columbus day weekend so we're only going on a 3 day trip instead of a four day one. :-(

[hamster]

I'm seriously jet-lagged from my business trip.

I don't know what to pack for the faculty retreat.

I haven't used up our tab at the country club, and the end of the month is coming soon.

My dad entered into hospice care a few days ago. The post about picking out funeral attire ahead of time inspired me to go look for something to wear. I went to Sears to try on some Lands End dresses, but once I put them on they made me look really lumpy and dumpy.

So in addition to being sad, now I feel fat. Priorities, people

I am so, so sorry mb.

Thanks V. He's been sick for a long time so honestly it's for the best.

Another FWP is that I feel like my feet really smell today.

I cracked my iPhone screen. I was getting out of the car and it fell face down. I am so mad at myself.

I need to book airfare for my friend's wedding and it is $550 a ticket. At least we have 2 $100 coupons so that helps a little bit.

[orangeblossom]

I' trying to decide if I should by several plane tickets, since their on sale. I go see DH every other weekend, but am not sure I want to buy them all at once, because sometimes we have to switch up for whatever reason. Guess I could buy trip insurance, or eat the $118 ticket if it came down to it.

I iust got home and looked at my neighbor's house. They are painting the outside hunter green and baby shit yellow. I do not want to look at those colors everyday. I was trying to rationalize why anyone would do such a thing. Color sale at Wal-mart? Color blind? Now I have to wonder why they bitched about the tree on the property line as if it was going to prevent the sell of their house. They have much bigger problems than that old tree, it looks like a godzilla baby took a dump on their house.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I am so happy I bought an outfit prior to my mother's funeral. It made life much easier. I did have to go out and by a church lady hat though. My hair was looking some kind of crazy.

[pugz]

Tonight I am going to have my first alcoholic beverage since last November. I can't decide what to have first!

When we were at our old jobs, my husband and I used to always know when the end of the quarter was, because all of a sudden the partners we worked with were forcing us to go to team dinners/drinks at the New York Athletic Club to use up their quarterly entertainment budgets. It has, like, the least fun bar ever. All old businessmen.

But I bet a bar filled with old businessmen knows how to make a proper old fashioned.

Well, my problem (which is NOT a first-world problem) is that today I found out that my pregnancy is not viable and I have the planned induced miscarriage starting this weekend.

I'm really sorry. Hugs.

The first-world problem part is that for 2 weeks after the planned induced miscarriage I am not allowed to go swimming, and 8 days after it starts I am going to be heading on vacation. To the desert. Where we rented a fancy cabana. At hotel with a wave pool, and lazy rivers, and beautiful regular pools. And I get to spend the whole vacation getting to go in no deeper than my thighs and splashing water on myself. I am sure i will be a bucket of cheer and good times.

This sucks on so many levels. I am very sorry.

[pippa]

My Fios connection was cut by a construction crew and I have no tv or Internet. I'm most upset about missing the return of SYTYCD tonight.

I also had a furniture delivery today that was 1.5 hours late(after the window).

Major FWPs.

[80sjunkie]

I'm so sorry esquirefish.

Bear hugs!!

Perhaps being able to have alcohol will make it a little better??

This is usually the only time we get invited to our Grandparents-in-law's CC; we usually get invites towards the end of the month.

1. I'm nervous about moving into our new home (I'm not exactly why). I keep pushing back the moving date. I hate packing and moving.
2. We've spent about $10,000 this week so far (appliances, curtains, etc.) and I have so much more to buy.

[Pom]

My checking account looks sad to me since we wired the closing funds for the house today.

But there are to be keys for us at noon tomorrow.

[bunch]

I found Oktoberfest at the store today but it's still kind of warm. Not that it's stopping me from drinking one.

I'm sorry for your loss. I go in for my d&c tomorrow at 6am. Being able to drink helps (pathetic as that sounds, ha!) since I haven't for three months.

But the thing about your vacation sucks on top of it. Order extra margaritas. :drink: ({)
