Saturday afternoon randoms

[vicky]

I wanted to AW my pumpkin pie, because I'm a baking AW, but I didn't just want a thread for that. So let's do randoms.

I wrote an angry message to Lady Gaga on Facebook and twitter today, but in reality she has nothing to do with anything. She posted a bunch of extravagant dinner pictures and pictures of her on her thuper duper gas guzzling private plane and I was all "think of the New Yorkers!" So now I feel bad.

Pie:

[frauschmindy]

Cute pie! I keep saying I'm going to bake a cranberry apple pie but I haven't done it yet.

That 50 ft tree that tipped outside of our house on monday in the storm is being removed today. They think they can get it down without turning off the power, yaaaay.

Cute pie!

I feel like a horrible mom right now. My kid was upstairs messing around in my room and I was cleaning the downstairs bathroom. All of a sudden I hear her crying, and I figured it was nothing, like she couldn't get her sock off or something, because she's like that. Well, I went up and she had blood running down her face and a deep gash in her tongue :-( :-(. I feel sooo so bad. I know shit happens, and she's sleeping now, but god damn.

I wish I never went to that stupid Arbonne party. Yesterday I went to pick up my stuff from the woman and she asked me if I would host a party with my SIL, who she has never met, and who has never been to any of her Arbonne parties. I tried to tell her that my SIL is really busy because she has her son's first birthday coming up and she runs a bit of a cupcake business, and the woman was like " oh great, she can bake us some cupcakes for free!"

Ugh. I tried telling her that I don't want to host a party and neither does my SIL, but she's pretty fucking pushy about this. She's all " ooh, I have a certain amount of parties I need to have in November...." ugh. NO! Do you see these eye bags? Do you think they're down to my ear lobes because I have all the energy in the world? No! Leave me alone!

Sorry that's so long. I'm grouchy.

[mkesweetie]

Guy - Tell her no. Call her, email, whatever. Just back out. Arbonne people are sooo pushy. You'll be relieved - and you don't OWE her this!

VLF - I am cracking up about your angry messages to Lady Gaga. But your pie looks great.

Mine - I went to a new grocery store this afternoon and I LOVED it. That was pretty much the highlight of my weekend, except for gaining an hour of sleep tonight.

Yeah, I'm just going to be straight with her. She's really pushing me on this because she has it in her head that she's going to make 15-30k a MONTH. Yeah. Her higher up person told her that she makes $15,000 a month selling Arbonne. Yeahhh, ok.

Tators, I know! I'm so glad to almost be out of the first tri.

[alzi]

I just got to my nail place for a mani/pedi and I brought a to go cup of apple cider. Doesn't get much better lol.

[vicky]

Thanks guys!

Alzi: I wrote to you in the gift exchange thread about cookies! If you want me to send you some PM me your address

Oh, MKE, I was very very not nice to Gaga. Bad Vicky.

[vicky]

Mekia, it's pie crust scraps! Just rolled out and cut with a cookie cutter.

[iamgrace]

Cute pie.

I feel like shit. That's all I've got today.

I hope you feel better!!

[vicky]

Alzi, don't worry about it! And yes, Tators, you may have cookies too.

[candreco]

Cute pie! And OMG, I would snap on the Arbonne lady. Ugh.

I was going to get a pedicure today, but I think I'm too lazy to leave the house again today. Maybe tomorrow.

We're drinking hot chocolate in front of the first fire of the season, and since we moved into this house. It's probably contributing to my laziness.

[Deleted]

LMAO at shaming Lady Gaga.

FWIW, I doubt the plane was her own.

[jane6672]

I am a lightweight, and I always will be.

I've had one cider (4.7%) and I'm all "WHEEEE!"

[vicky]

Yeah, it was given/rented to her by Livenation. I'm just a cold, bitter New Yorker, tbqh.

[caffeinebean]

I went to a friends birthday party last night and this morning I feel like someone drove a spike through my skull. I haven't drank that much in a really long time. I also slept til 1:00.

I have dinner plans with my parents and then I'm supposed to go out for drinks with a friend. I think I may bail on drinks and watch Netflix in bed instead.

I got sent home from work today by someone who is lower on the totem pole than me but doesn't know my position yet. I had to open so I went in and opened (alone, in my first week. I rocked it). My throat is so sore my voice is hoarse, my nose is stupid runny and won't stop. I have absolutely no cold medicine in my house. Bah humbug.

Our Lead Therapist is so fucking awesome. She recognizes I'm in a position of power just like her so she confides in me and is confident in me, so its a huge confidence booster. We're going to Scottsdale in April and she was asking me about it and I was like I KNOW! I feel SO honored they asked! Our LT is the only one besides the owners that know my position.

[bonquiqui]

Love the pie!

[sewf]

H and I actually got off our butts and did stuff today! We got curtains for our bedroom and the guest room (all the windows have blinds, but no curtains), went to lunch, and raked a million leaves. Tree lined streets are awesome until it's time to rake.

Now we're each about to fall asleep and H has to Skype with his mom in a bit while I do nothing but maybe build with some Legos. Good day.

ETA: And damn, I want some pie now! Thanksgiving can't come soon enough!

Why is your position a secret?

They want me to be 110% trained before they announce me as management. I'm an external hire and the owners don't want to step on people's toes and announce it now. They were considering the Junior Clinic Admin for the Assistant Clinic Admin position but she can't handle the responsibility. So they hired me.

I'm so fucking bored.

I hate being virtually housebound because of sick kids. They just have bad colds, but are too uncomfortable to take anywhere but the grocery store.

Blaaaaaaah.
