FWP Monday

[Deleted]

You need to learn to wear the baby as a cute little excuse, ms.starry. You're not hungry, the BABY is hungry so you have to go get food.

I have to use up my last Groupon yoga class before I move office locations, so I don't have time to use the 2-for-1 lunch coupon someone gave me for a place a block from here. MM FWP.

I just got back from vacation (a week in Europe, London and Paris!) and I'm exhausted. I wish I had more vacation time so I could recover from being on vacation before going back to work.

On the up hand, it was an awesome trip.

I took a seriously awesome pic of my son this weekend, but it bugs me that he was wearing a sweatshirt that said GAP in big letters. I'm considering photoshopping them out.

I'm going to be traveling for work half of next month. If things go poorly with.surgery on Friday I will have to figure out some way to handle that. I've already suspended my fun Thanksgiving plans because I don't think I have the stamina to travel two weeks for work and then go to the other side of the country for tday. Usually I love to travel. I don't like it when it makes me frown.

I appear to have some sort of blood blister in my mouth. It can be caused by foods, and I noticed it just after eating popcorn. If this continues to happen and I can't eat popcorn anymore (or at least have to drastically cut back), I might literally cry.

[Awkward]

I completely forgot about a load of clothes I left in the dryer and they sat there overnight. The no-iron shirt I was supposed to wear with my suit today needed ironing and I am SOOOO BAD at ironing shirts. It looks decent now though, so we'll go with it.

I have an interview this afternoon.

[hannamaren]

Good luck with the interview!
I am not looking forward to the 2 days I have to work with the nanny so she can learn the schedule, get to know Layla. I should be overjoyed. I can leave them to play and go hide in thr bedroom and GBCn or clean the fridge out or something. But I love being alone.

I think we were there at the same time!

I was laughing at the airport trying to spend the rest of my pounds. It was definitely a FWP, what can I buy to spend all my money??

What is FWP?

I have a HUGE zit to the left of my nose. That's bad enough but now I have a broken blood vessel in my right eye. I am quite the sight and have several meetings today.

All I need is a boil on my forehead to complete the look. :-(

[savannah11]

I have $300 to spend for my birthday and I can't think of anything to buy.

Mostly a random--I had a terrible dream last night that I murdered someone and buried him in MIL's yard and planted daffodils on top. Then a coworker read my notes on planning and figured out I was a murder, but I lied and said it was just Dexter fan-fiction.

I am so messed up.

I have a groupon for a mani/pedi that expires on Wednesday. I'm hoping I'll be able to use it in time. I have an off-site event on Wednesday so I might be able to swing it.

I love this.

I hired a housekeeper, she called me an hour before she was due to start to tell me she sprained her ankle. Wanted to come Friday, I said no, since H would be home working. But please call Friday so we can set up a new time. Now I still have not heard from her. Another lady wants the job, but doesn't speak English and I don't speak Spanish, I don't know how that would work. I could just hire the service that did our move-in clean, but it was 4 people and I don't want that many people in my house now that our stuff is here. This should not be such a difficult decision. Definate FWP.

oh, how funny! Did you have a nice time?

The ONLY trouble we had the entire time was getting to CDG. We ended up being late because the train ticket machines wouldn't take our credit card and they didn't take Euro bill, only coins! So we didn't have time to spend the rest of our money. Came home with like 15 Euros. I'm bummed, I was looking forward to buying some pastries or souvenirs with it!

I have a dry bar certificate that a gf\bride gave me for standing in her wedding. It sounds like a fun thing to do with a group of girls. She gave this to all 3 of her BM's.

My issue is that I don't really want to start a gtg with one of her BM's (BM3). She left a bad taste in my mouth from the wedding planning. But it would be insensitive to invite my gf, her BM2 (not my friend - but she was awesome), and not ask the other one (BM3). I tolerate her when she's around, but she and I have nothing in common and I have no interest in being around her more than I have to.

I might just go by myself.

We had a great time. The only thing that really left me disappointed was that we waited in line for Sainte Chapelle only to have them close the line for the afternoon break when we were next to go in. I guess we have something to do if we go back to Paris.

That stinks that you weren't able to buy last minute pastries. I love doing that!

Ive gotten so many rude comments on my decision to go on vacation alone. People sick but palm trees rock.

Why do other people care if you vacation alone. Just tell them to suck it. I have been thinking about doing that ever since you posted.

You hired a nanny ? That's great. Must be a relief.

Thanks! I knew Mm would understand. Ive gotten everything from "are things okay?" To "why couldn't h come?" Omg leave me alone! I'm having fun though. :-)

We're having new countertops installed. I've been looking to have the cabinets replaced because the countertops were built 1" too narrow and all the sinkbases in the kitchen and upstairs bathrooms are all damaged from water dripping over the edge. I managed to contact our builder (who went out of business at some point) and got the name of the manufacturer. If we can replace the countertops to include the correct depth I won't need the new cabinets if the manufacturer can match what we have installed. But I want new cabinets because I don't like the setup and the drawer fronts are blah.

Our house is seven years old and needs repairs. We just spent $7K on an exterior paint job and now we have to work on the interior. Some is appearance but some is shoddy workmanship.

Now I am just paranoid if she is good or not.

What is a dry bar certificate?
