It's Thursday, who is thirsty?

[OrangePixyStix]

I have a frozen bellini with your name on it. (If you haven't had one, it typically includes white wine or champagne, peach schnapps, and peach nectar and can be swirled with another flavor like Midori or Chambord.)



How are you this morning? Did you have a good night last night?

It's my Friday so I am ready to get the work day over, then skate day, then home for cocktails and dinner. Can't wait for my long weekend to start!

[eureka1017]

Awesome Orange....

Everyone have a drink for me... I am too happy!!!

See post above, I bought my first brand new truck!!!

Tonight after work I am going to the gym, grocery and my parents are coming over for dinner and so I can show them my new baby. It should be a nice evening!

Cant wait for the long weekend! We are going to a friends BBQ and pool party! Should be a fun weekend!

Moar please!

I'm having an awful week. I just need to get through tomorrow and then Friday night I am ordering in Thai food and not sharing my bottle of wine with hubby. He can get his own damn booze!

I was supposed to get an IUD today (and I was so freaking excited!) but when the doc put in my insurance claim it turns out my insurance won't cover it. So, I talked to hubby and he said, "go ahead and we'll pay out of pocket." But the doctor's office gave me the wrong price the first time around and the difference is about $200 more than what I have readily available and am willing to pay.

I've cried more this week then I have in the last year combined!

But, I'm sucking it up. I renewed my pills and I'm going to save my pennies each month and then I'll get it next year. It's probably my fault for getting all excited about it before checking with insurance.

OPS - I am super jealous that today is your Friday! I hope you have an awesome weekend!

Holy crapsicles that sounds delicious!
Tonight we're going to a really good friend of mine's BBQ so tomorrow at work should be.. interesting.

[pilife]

Oh - did I mention she's a good hour+ away?

[lizo11]

What I wouldn't give to crack one of those open right now! I am struggling this morning.

I have (re)learned the lesson that oversleeping and running do not mix. I cannot shorten my morning routine by taking the dog with me for the run. Stupid squirrels and rabbits are freakin' morning animals. (Explanation, my dog and I were running at a pretty good clip, and out of nowhere a rabbit bolted out. I held on to the dog, but I went down hard on my shoulder and hip. At least I didn't land on my face, right?)

Other than that, life is good.

[darkling_glory]

OMG, Liz. I'm glad you're okay! But good for you for running in the morning! Your dog will get the hang of it eventually!

Lol, I think I am going to go back to getting up a half an hour earlier, walking him, and then going for a run. We are two for two of failed shenanigans in the morning!

[OrangePixyStix]

eureka, enjoy that natural high, I will pass your glass to darkling.

DG, I am so sorry you have had a rough week. I wonder if after August when BC is supposed to be readily available without a copay if IUD's will be included. Regardless, I can tell you are really disappointed that you can't get it today.

lizo, ouchie!! Hope the fall doesn't leave a mark or make you sore.

Pi, Yay for BBQ's with friends but BOO to working tomorrow. Bring a pillow in case you need to nap in the car.

::steals pitcher of bellinis from OPS::

Last night I made cupcakes; chocolate cupcakes with a Reese's PB Cup Miniature in the middle, topped with fluffy PB icing. Coworker's b-day is this weekend and today is the last day everyone in my dept is here before the holiday weekend, so we decided to celebrate today. We have a ton of goddies (bagels, donuts, muffins, dips, coffee) and I predict I'm going to be completely useless in a few hours once the food coma sets in.

Since I blew off the gym last night, I *have* to go tonight. I also need to stop at Ulta on the way home.

[shorty20]

Oooh, I love Chambord, I'll take one of those.

My night was kind of fun actually.

*Warning* kid related. We went to my niece's preschool graduation and it was really cute, they sang and my niece got up in front of everyone and signed the alphabet while everyone else sang the ABC song. She's a smart little cookie.

However, it was great birth control. The kids were all getting restless and loud towards the end and I totally had a headache. So glad I could go home to my nice quiet house afterwards!

[lizo11]

OPS-- enjoy the skating and the cocktails (just don't reverse the order! )
PSU--Sounds like a tasty, fun day!! Your cupcakes sound amazing!!

I'll have to check this out. I did not know about this... thanks!

OMG, Liz! You poor thing!

MMmmmm. I might take the cupcake over the bellini!

Last night after dinner, I kept H company while he restrung fishing poles for this weekend. I also entertained the dog (and myself) by playing fetch.

Tonight, H is going to the store to get things for this weekend while I tan and fuel up the car.

[monkeygirl18]

They sound yummy!
My weeks been going good so far. I went on two interviews with staffing agencies, one was good the other lady was a real snot.

I've decided that I'm heading in the direction of temp jobs or PT ( technically I was PT at the last place). I've also decided that with less than a month to go before or trip ( thank heavens it was already paid for) I'm gonna hold off on the job search ( gonna look still but unless something really catches my eye....).

Other than that I've been getting a lot of things done around the house that I didn't have time for before. I also haven't had a headach in two weeks now I was getting them every day.

[MrsBunnyfoo]

After a happy hour on Monday, I'm drinked out!

Last night was good. I made dinner and we watched a scary movie.
Tonight I plan on going to the gym and finishing some school papers. Well, start and finish.

[eureka1017]

Takes pitcher and downs all contents...

Meetings until 11 blows, its way early...

darkling- I am sorry about the IUD… I hate insurance
PLife- have fun at your friends house!
Liz, I hope you are ok… I walk the dogs in the early am… I get up at 6 walk them from 6:45ish to 705ish before work and like everyone said your dogs will get the hang of it!
PSU have fun celebrating!

[OrangePixyStix]

monkeygirl, what I really liked about doing temp work in the past is that it was a great way to see if a company is a good fit for you, and if not you have the option to move onto a different one fairly easily. I hope you get something lined up for after your trip, and glad the headaches have gone away.

That's exactly why I want to temp. That or PT because both give me control over days I work and/or hrs I work. Much easier for trip planning, especially in the summer months

[lexxasaurus]

I love Bellinis! That was my first legal drink in fact. Good choice, OPSz

I went to bed super early last night, then had some early morning sexxytimes... Slept a little more and I'm in a dandy mood now.

Tonight I have a Zumba class, and am going to do some cooking, and possibly some baking before that. I'm excited to work out, because I've slacked a few days, but am even more excited for pole fitness tomorrow!

[louietunes]

I'll take 3!

Darkling, I'm so sorry your week sucked. I hope the weekend is better for you.


Last night I had nothing to do. Seriously. No chores, no activities, nothing. This very, very, rarely happens, and I hadn't really thought about it until I was at home sitting on my couch like . I ended up killing a bottle of 2 buck chuck while watching Downton Abbey.

This is my Friday, too! I'm going to get me work done as quickly as possible this morning, then I think I'll "work from home" this afternoon. The whole company practically is on vacation already, anyway.

[MissusTexas]

I went out for dinner and frozen yogurt with a girlfriend whose husband is also gone a lot, so it was nice to have some girl time.

[ILikeSloths]

Happy Thursday! Those drinks look good. I love most drinks that are fruity and sweet, so the peach flavor sounds delicious.

I'm a little late to this post, but I just wanted to say I hope everyone has a good weekend! I'm leaving for Gatlinburg tonight so I'll be in the mountains without my computer for the next few days... woot! See you all next week!

[lizo11]

Have a nice, safe, disconnected weekend SLOTHS!!!

[ILikeSloths]

Thanks, Lizo!

Have a good one!

[mayflowers22]

I can't wait for the end of tomorrow, long weekend! Woot.
