Why not, right?
I got my hair did yesterday and went a shade darker than my normal fall dye color. I'm feeling all awesome and pretty. I get home, R gets home, and R says "Wow, I really like how that color and your glasses match! They're like the exact same!!" I know he meant it as a compliment but what? :-(
For some reason, my hands are all swollen today and I'm worried I won't be able to get my rings off tonight. Ooops.
I just realized I should have mailed my mother's birthday present yesterday ... and it's still sitting on my desk.

I have done exactly nothing at work today. I was here 45 minutes, left for the closing, came back at 11:15 and done nothing since. My boss has checked out (his last day is today), so I kind of have too.
I desperately need a haircut, but I don't want to pay $$ for one, and I would guilty calling a friend to do it because I don't want her to think I only call her to do my hair. I do not feel awesome and pretty.
I should be doing things around my house today, since we aren't working until late this afternoon because we have a fitting this evening, but it is cloudy and dark out and my dogs are curled up next to me on the sofa, and I am enjoying not stressing over this commitment ceremony job we are working on...at least for a few more hours.
I've done some Christmas shopping online and gotten suggestions for DH about his employee gifts...does that count for something?

I'm so freaking anxious today. I get like this when I have too much or too little to do. I just finished up 2 huge deadlines yesterday so I took advantage of the nanny-time today to do errands and it made me crazy! Nothing went as planned.
Took me over an hour to special order the trim for a recessed can light. Our normal farm isn't doing turkeys this year so I had to find another. I met a friend for lunch and locked the nanny out of the house.
I feel like a need a sedative.
I wish I could be working on the bathroom, but all the work right now involves me having to be on a ladder which I just won't do at 32 weeks pg.

Perfect timing! I may be irrationally anoyed, but here it goes. Landscapers stop by all the time when they're in the neighborhood to ask if they can do things while they're in the area. No thanks, I'm good.
So this afternoon, a guy stops buy to ask if he can cut down our maple tree. Seriously??? We have three mature maples in front of the house. The one he wanted to cut lost a branch last year but it's springing healthy new shoots in that area. WTF?
Then he asked about our 40-year old Japanese cherry tree. Um, I'll let a real arborist handle that - not some eager guy with a chain saw.
I'm getting my hair cut Saturday. Appointment is made, no backing out now! I'll at least come out of it with long sweaping bangs, whats the worst that could happen?
I forgot to put dinner in the crockpot and no I'm PISSED because it's grey's night and I have to figure out something for dinner.
I was finally able to put on a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans today. They are tighter than they used to be and I don't know if any of my others will fit but these do and for that I am really excited. Oh, and yes, I am wearing a bigger shirt to hide the slight muffin top. Whatever.
I had an interview today and have decided that I don't want the job. I normally send thank you notes after an interview but I may let it slide. I'm debating if I should send a 'thanks but I'm not interested' note.
I found Pumpkin Pie yogurt at Target today and I've heard it's good so I'm excited to try it.
Urk. Just sprain/strained my ankle trying to avoid the stupid cat during one of his OMG!-LOOK-OUT-ALL-THE-WINDOWS-IN-15-SECONDS-OR-LESS sprees.
Hope it's not too serious. Doesn't feel too serious.
Hope it's ok! Wednesday morning I woke up with a strained ankle. It was fine when I went to bed Tuesday night. I'm still trying to figure out how I did that in my sleep.
I forgot to put dinner in the crockpot and no I'm PISSED because it's grey's night and I have to figure out something for dinner.
Go to the Rachel Ray website. There are tons of easy & quick things. I'm pondering the pumpkin pasta with sausage.
Thanks for the thought, I hate R.Ray's stuff though. I've found that: 1) they never take just 30 minutes. 2) 90% of them call for things that you can't buy in my area (very rural with no "fancy" stuff)
I tossed some ground turkey in the fridge and hopefully that will be decently thawed and I'll make some tacos. I was just really looking forward to the possibility of done dinner. Maybe tomorrow night.

I'm feeling so good today a guy at work told my mother (she works for the same company too) that he regrets being married because I look so good lately. I know he was kidding and we're both married but I've recently lost 50 lbs so I'm pretty flattered!

Another random. I just took a good look at my FB page and noticed this: (Please note: these photos were taken a year apart and in two entirely different locations.)

My machine at work won't stop alarming and it's driving me crazy and I've only been here two hours! I can't wait to dye my hair with purple highlights on the bottom tomorrow.
