i've had a ridic week at work...today should be the last day that my schedule is as packed..so hopefully i can get some breathing room. otherwise i'm going to have to take some work home, and i really really really really don't want to do that.
not much planned this weekend. lowkey. going to a restaurant-week lunch on sunday..have a great weekend!
I'm going to have to work this weekend because I took some time off to be with H. So I'm a little behind right now. At least I can do it from home, but I don't wanna.
I think this weekend is just going to be playing catch up from not getting a lot done this week.
Also, I took Betty to the vet last night because she started itching again. Turns out it's not actually an allergy, but I just have a high maintenance dog. She has sensitive skin and he told me that taking her to the groomer made her skin flare up and now she has an infection. She's on antibiotics, he told me to never take her to any groomer again, and now I have to use a special shampoo to bathe her 2x a week till the infection goes away and then 1x a week for the rest of her life. This is more effort than I put into my own skin. Sigh.
Seriously- you have a high maintenance dog! that is so crazy, i'm sorry boo! more than you bargained for i bet!
Happy Friday! I have a ton of work to get done today. I work tonight at my 2nd job.. first night in a long time and i really don't want to go.. but i feel bad calling in sick. We are going to eastern washington tomorrow to visit family and watch my mother be baptised. Should be exciting.
Gotta get to work, hope everyone is having a fabulous day!
Good morning. I've been trying to go back to sleep for almost an hour. I'm tired and have only had a couple hours. I'm looking forward to the pumpkin patch tomorrow with my h, Edmund, and FIL. This will be Edmund's first one since we didn't get to go last year because of surgery. I have a short day at work and don't have to be there until just after 11 so I'm going to try and go back to sleep.
Meetings all day at work today! We are also having a potluck. I hate potlucks, because that means I either have to buy or make something. It's 7am and I have done neither. It's also a themed potluck. We have to bring food from the regions we are studying. Who the eff thinks of this?? I'm bitter.
UW, I'm sorry about Betty! That sucks that her skin is so sensitive. At least you've figured out what it is and what she needs.
Dawny - have fun in Leavenworth! I'm jealous, H and I love it over there.
Joenali, I'm cracking up reading your post. I feel the same way about Potlucks, especially if there's a theme. I like to cook and all, but who the eff has time to make a themed potluck dish on a work night?
Busy busy Friday for me. I should probably work this weekend, but we have lots of plans. Doesn't help that I have to leave early today to take my grandma to the neurologist.
Am I seriously the first to point out that it's finally raining, if only a tiny bit?? My FB feed this morning is stuffed with comments about the rain. I'm happy with or without, but I gotta admit, I love the smell of the first rain after a long dry spell.
Morning! I am so glad it is Friday, I have slept terribly all week and have been studying like mad. I have the worlds worst attention span and it makes it take 3 times as long.
B's cousin ended up needing to come over late last night because his house got broken into
1/2 day at work today and then Portland with some friends! I'm going to make them quiz me over beer
Mk, I love the first rain, too, and am also so happy! I wore my rain boots today in preperation of the rain ( it hadn't started raining yet when I left for work).
Aww, UW, sorry to hear about Betty! I hope the infection clears up soon. One of my friends has the most adorable frenchie that is allergic to everything, seriously. The things you do for the ones you love... lol
I'm in a super great mood today because I slept well and have actually been up since 6, rather than being exhausted like the last few days. I don't know what changed, but I'm happy for it! I plan on hitting the gym, getting laundry done, planning our Thanksgiving trip and getting homework done. That's about it. Happy Friday everyone!
ETA: Totally forgot to add that H & I are going to see Arj Barker perform tonight!

morning! I've already been up and to crossfit. I don't have to be to work until 9:30 today, so I am just relaxing and watching project runway right now.
I'm in with the boo hiss potluck camp. I hate them, but I do enjoy eating the food. There should be a potluck where you don't have to bring anything but you can eat the food.
i hate potlucks too becuase you can't try your food, usually, before you serve it.. because that would look weird if you bring like a casserole or something and it has a chunk taken out of it.
at my job, we do potlucks every month for bdays. who ever is having a bday that month doesn't have to bring food. guess what month it is bitches? my birthday month! can't wait for the next potluck! lol.

TGIF! The rain means I get to wear my new hooded jacket I hardly ever participate in potlucks, 99% of the time there is hardly any food I can eat- all the food either has red meat, poultry, or THE WORST... tomatoes YUCK!!!
Tomorrow the Huskies are playing USC, a very winnable game! Tonight will be low-key, and I'll probably go to bed after watching Grimm.

Tonight is part one of my high school reunion, I won't be going to part deux tomorrow because of my anniversary. I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to tonight or not? I don't even know what to wear...
I had a nice relaxing day off yesterday. Loved it. I went to WW in the morning, and I'm down 15.4 pounds total. Yay! Of course, I then spent the remainder of the day being lazy, and catching up on DVR'd shows before meeting up with friends for dinner. Though I did get tickets to Deck The Hall Ball. Which I'm super stoked for!
Tonight, I'm meeting up with people from a Meetup group I joined. We're going to dinner. I'm looking forward to meeting new people. I've been feeling like I need to expand my social circle. Now that I don't have H to do stuff with all the time, it'd be nice to have a few different groups to hang out with when I feel like it.
UW: I'm sorry about Betty being so high maintenance!
I used to like potlucks, mostly because I could actually bring something with flavor. H was the pickiest eater ever
Congrats LL! I had fun last night out at dinner with peeps I didn't really know, but good conversation over Thai food. I chose pretty responsibly for my food but splurged on a cocktail (that wasn't amazing, just ok, so not quite worth the calories but I didn't want to waste that $10) but then there was a Trophy kiosk I passed on my way to the theater so I stopped for a samoa cupcake. I missed the first 10 minutes of Wicked because we were INSIDE the damn place, waiting to be directed to our seats when they suddenly said we couldn't be seated, then wouldn't let us wait on the stairs so we could WATCH and made us go out in the lobby and watch on a shitty screen. That was annoying. The show was good, not amazing as a couple times I was annoyed by the very "necessary Broadway style moment" that's predictible and cliche and the sound system was bad so I only understood about 1 out of every 20 words when the ensemble sang. Costumes and set were beautiful. Got pulled over on my way home but no ticket (I'll separate post).
Work finally to do at the office today after a dreary week. Stupid library sent me an email saying my hold expired today when I SWEAR they had said it was good until the 16th! Massage tomorrow and then mostly just planning on dinking around the house, getting some chores done.
I don't mind it, but my mom is kind of emotionally draining me cause she has nothing to do and is starting to sulk. It's a tiring house to have a baby and a sulking adult. ;-;
ahh, i can see how that'd get tiring. my mom loved house-arresting with me...she's inherently lazy...so when it came to sitting around the house, she was a star. that's why i couldn't really nest when i was on house arrest, cause my mom would hog the computer. i was pretty independent, unless i needed her, and then she was there.
