Monday PM randoms

[vicky]

I was almost tricked by the friday random that just resurfaced.

Bf asked me to start picking out rings i like again. We hit the pause button on rings after the fire. I guess the game's back on

so.... i made a pinterest board for rings. lol. and fell nose deep into wedding pins. I CAN'T STOP LOOKING.

I think I just met with a student on speed. Pretty sure. The other administrator in the room thought the same thing and almost went for the drug screen paperwork, but decided she didn't have enough to base her suspicion on.

At one point he had been talking for about 20 min with no interruptions and trailed off and looked at me and said "wait, what was I talking about?" and I was at a total loss because he was all over the place and I really had no idea what he was saying. The other admin told me I just gaped at home (similar to vicks Britney sig above lol)

It's 4:21. Can I open the wine yet?

I've done, like, seven loads of laundry today and gotten the kitchen semi-cleaned.

I leave Thursday for Arizona and I'm clearly already in vacation mode.

[nahoku]

That's so exciting, vicky!

8 more minutes and then I get to go home. Whoop! Today has gone by soooo sloooowly.

I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. I took a test this morning and saw the faintest shadow of a line- I'm so excited!! I'll test again in the morning. H is gone up at work so I haven't told him anything, I think I'll either tell him Sunday (Valentine's Day) or wait until he's home later this month. Either way I need to think of something sweet and fun because this is definitely our last.

Haha, thanks! Perhaps I'll AW once I'm convinced my eyes are really, truly seeing a line. Hopefully tomorrow morning! Lol.

OMG, please let this wood install be over soon. The banging. The sawing. The constant up-and-down the stairs. The one guy who is keeping up a running commentary with the radio commercials. The other guy who is whistling. The twangy country music playing on the radio. I've never been forced to listen to country music this long.

[lightbulbsun]

I just got the most passive aggressive message from my prof. She's been awful all semester, and I'm so mad right now.

An Excerpt:
"What am I missing here? Would you like to send me a new version meeting assignment requirements by midnight eastern Tuesday, or should I just quit reading at 3300 words?"

So yea, my group was over the word count, but there's a way to convey that without making people want to punch you in the face.

Yikes! That's really terrible.

I mean not to be a one upper, but my bathroom is being gutted and they are using a jackhammer on the floor and I want to punch someone.
Can I bitch about it being 88 degrees here. So gross. It's fucking February Mother Nature. Get your Shit together.

[themysteriouswife]

I finally got pictures of my neighbor sweeping the fucking street. Only this time he was shoveling the red clay. Then he got into an argument with a delivery driver who spread more dust onto the street. Then the sweetest karma came. He was done cleaning and Put his broom and shovel away. Another fucking delivery truck who made a bigger mess! Crazy neighbor throws his hands in the air. It's really amazing at how much time he spends cleaning dust off the street. I mean if it were trash or large items I would get it. It's just clay.

Do you guys ever have a phase where nothing tastes that great, even the delicious treats you usually love? Is my body telling me I need to eat vegetables or something?

NEWP!

Love, Fat kid.

DD1 has had a fever since Wednesday. Waiting for a call back from the pedi, prob taking her in tomorrow.

[vicky]

I mean... If you insist...

[MixedBerryJam]

We didn't really have enough snow to pull out the snowblower, but it's too much to shovel. It's really cold now, and the snow is super light and when I blow that kind of snow it just blows randomly around and I land up with as big a mess as before I started. So my son and I did the steps, walk, and sidewalk, and a path to the garage. If it warms a bit tomorrow myabe I'll blow it then, and if it stays cold maybe the wind will take care of some of it. Talking about "blowing" things makes me feel like a 12yo boy.

[dreamcrisp1]

@vicky, I love the first one so much. So pretty. My bf and I are gonna get engaged once he's back from South Africa and planning our wedding for next October so I've fallen down the Pinterest wedding hole as well. It's fabulous. I'm strongly considering a wedding in Italy and it's incredible.

H really, really pissed me off and made me feel shitty today. I've had weight issues for a dozen years or so. When we were 17/18, he had an issue with it, but has insisted every time I would complain about it that he was fine with how I looked/my weight. I kind of knew this was just BS because he's "supposed" to say that, but still. Today we were kind of fighting via text while I was at work and he says (disguised in a message with other shit...listing everything he does in the house which I will admit is A LOT. Nearly everything;) "If getting into better shape is a forgone conclusion at this time then I need some help around the house. Something. I'm sorry."


I really feel like shit now. I know that I brought a lot of this on myself. I know I need to work out and lose weight. I know I need to do something to motivate myself. I know I need to help out around the house more. But really???Insisting for years that he's fine with it and then throwing that out there?

I am heavy. I know this. I capped at 165# (5'1) which is a good 45# overweight according to my primary care. When I quit smoking in June I gained another 12#. I know I look awful. It just sucks.

sorry for whining. Just...ugh.

I don't know why I stumbled on this earlier today, but I saw this and fell in love with it. It' a raw watermelon tourmaline, according to the etsy site.

That is incredible looking, wow!

@kittensandkazoozles, first of all your husband is an asshole. Second of all, he's stupid because he clearly doesn't know what forgone conclusion means.

Maybe I don't? Am I reading it wrong? Honest question. He's generally the smart wordsmith of the two of us.


And yes, he can be an asshole. He has no problem admitting this. At first I blamed it on us being teenagers and him just being dense. Then things with my weight seemed to be ok aside from ME being depressed about it, which I obviously haven't done shit about. 

He DOES do a lot. Cleans the house(vacuums 2-3x a week, dusts 2-3x a week, mops 2-3x a week.) (I load the dishwasher, feed the cats, and we both do laundry,) pays the bills/handles all finances.

[underwaterrhymes]

I'm sorry, @kittensandkazoozles. That's super shitty.

[notoriousmeg]

Captain Catnip I'm sorry. That is incredibly cruel.

[underwaterrhymes]

It's been an incredibly shitty day here. My Yiayia has Alzheimer's and is in the hospital again because she passed out this morning. I feel terrible for my Papou because he already feels like he has lost the love of his life. They've been married 70 years and I think about how vibrant my grandmother used to be and I fucking hate what this disease does. (My step grandmother also passed away from it a few years ago).

And H's uncle died, too, unexpectedly.

I'm just really sad.

A foregone conclusion is something that is inevitable. It sounded like he was trying to say you'd given up trying. But if he meant that obviously you're going to get in shape, then I stand corrected.
