Hello, Monday!

[sarack]

Happy Monday ladies! ETA: AND Niq!!!!!!!!

I got home yesterday from a long day at work to find my Christmas tree up and ready to be decorated. That was seriously so sweet of H and I appreciated it so much!

I have jury duty this week. WIsh me luck that I'll get out of it asap. If my job paid me, I'd totally want to do it, it sounds like a lot of fun/interesting, but since I know my work will just pile up for me while I'm gone, I don't wanna. I got to work at 330am this morning, and will come back after jury duty tonight to make sure my work load doesn't get overwhelming.

Guess what else? I registered for classes at the local community college this morning too. I feel so productive, it's not even 6am and I've already done so much. I even put on a full face of makeup!

Hope everyone has a fabulous day today!

Back to school today. I saw one of my students yesterday at the library, he was so cute. He was smiling ear to ear and could barely get a word out. It was so dang cute!

Sarack, woo hoo! Good for you

I keep having really weird dreams about exbfs. Its not one guy in particular that I'm dreaming about, but a few of them. We always end up doing things together that h doesn't really like doing. Last night, it was the last guy I dated before h and we went to disneyland together. How's that for a not so vague subconscious.

Oh and I put frozen meat in the crock pot this morning. I'm a little nervous, but I figure if a lot of you do it then its going to be ok.

We should be finding out about london this week, at the earliest. Happy Monday!

i left everything i wanted to talk about- thank you! i'm excited.

totally crazy that you keep having dreams.. you're obviously upset about it, and if you go to london, you're going to have to decorate for sure, so it feels more like home.. so eat that mr uw.

i almost put a frozen meal in today!! instead i left it on my counter on accident this morning and asked h to put it in the fridge when he gets home. lol. woops!

can't wait to hear the news!

Morning, having abad case of the Mondays and want to just crawl back into bed. headed to the gym then work. I know im gonna be exhausted by the end of the night. Oh and getting back on the healthy eating plan again. Im throwing out all the leftovers and stocking up on veggies. Have a good day ladies.

[jennlin]

yay for sarack! what kind of classes will you be taking? 2 jobs + school? crazy.

uw, did you start your crockpot right away, or delay start? i delay start it, if i put in frozen (and only if it's half-frozen)...otherwise it cooks funny from full frozen.

happy cyber monday!! it was extremely hard to get out of bed this morning, even though i slept so awesome the last few days (by awesome, i mean long stretches...bjl still woke up every 2 hours, but i totaled 9-10 hours of lazy time a day). i hate work. i don't understand people that love work. it's just not for me.

have a great online-shopping day everyone!

[tacocat]

Congrats sarack on going back!! What are you taking?

It was really hard to get out of bed this am, which makes no sense as I was falling asleep on he couch by 8:15. Oh well, long day today of school and work

I'm with you Jenn, I am ready to retire!

[dawnyp]

Congrats Sarack sounds like next year will be busy for you.

I got up and went to the gym this morning, it felt good after almost 2 weeks off. This may be a crazy week at work. I hope I survive it.

I am missing being home this morning too I miss H and Coco. The long weekend was sooooo great. I will say, I was a little happier this morning when I opened our bedroom door and saw our lit up Christmas tree. I forgot how much I love waking up to that.

We have a new mattress being delivered this afternoon. We got a good deal on a really nice one, so I'm excited to sleep on it tonight. Till then, tons of work to power through. Have a good Monday everyone!

[kwpnjumper55]

Yay Sarack! Congrats!
UW- thanks for keeping us in the loop! Fingers crossed!

Today is a preschool day so I don't have much to do other than play driver and then go feed the ponies

[llh0211]

Good morning!

I'm exhausted this morning. I didn't get to sleep until almost 1 am, and was wide awake at 5. Ugh. Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight!

Other than the previously posted about drama, my weekend was pretty good. Hung out with friends & family Friday night. Saturday, went to lunch with my brother and my mom, grocery shopping & my hair appointment. Sunday, we had another Thanksgiving. My brother & I hosted it. It was a lot of fun. My parents, and older brother & his family came over. We had so much food!

Not much going on here. I'm thinking I'mBFF is currently on the road, moving up here! Woo hoo! She should be here Thursday. I can't wait! Other than that, I think I may try to get together with a couple girlfriends for happy hour. I definitely need it. Ugh.

[fiddles]

I'm off today, burning pto before the end of the year. Right now I'm trying to get couple more minutes sleep but Wrigley isn't having it. Only thing on the agenda today is laundry ugh. I want a laundry fairy.

From my phone yo!

[amandasw]

busy week almost every evening so I'm trying to get to work early and leave early, but it's all fun stuff.

I started sewing the pillow covers with my mom last night and I love them! I kind of went crazy and just did a bunch of random (but matching) patterns, I've been dying to add more color to the living room. The first one turned out so cute and I'm getting good at invisible zippers JoAnns was a total bust and it turned out Pacific Fabric was having 20% off everything, so that was good. I did manage to pick out a crazy expensive fabric for the first one, lol, oops, but I love it. I will PIP when they are all done

[madDawg228]

Good morning! I'm in a weird anti-holiday funk. I'm already sick and tired of Christmas stuff (commercials, seeing lights and trees everywhere, etc). The crappy sports weekend didn't help

[georgeharrison]

Sarack - so jealous of the class you are getting to take. I love to take classes now and then, but James is in school and we can't both do it.

UW - good luck on London...what an adventure!

I made a trip to Walmart and the dollar store this morning after dropping Tman off at school. Now I'm home enjoying a cup of coffee before I start my chores.

[picksthemusic]

Good morning! I was home alone all weekend, so when my little family rejoined me last night, I was a happy girl. I had missed M SO much, and OMG I missed H too. The good thing was that I had cleaned/organized the house, got laundry done (and folded and put away), and got the Christmas decorations out and put up the tree. We're decorating it tonight, so that'll be fun.

Dreading the weekend - it's the wedding. We take off for Bellingham on Thursday afternoon... and won't be home until Sunday. I just hope it all goes well.

Have a great day everyone!

[InBetweenDays]

We had a GREAT thanksgiving in Whistler. We were up there with some good friends and their kids. Great skiing, great food, great company. I mean, how can it not be fun when this is what your day consists of?


And just to AW a bit more here is DS skiing with DH and relaxing after hitting up the apres ski scene - he had his first day of ski school up there and was not ready to come home yesterday. Now back to the grind.

Sarack - what classes?

I had a nice 4 days off and paid for it with an awful Monday already. Thanksgiving was good, did random bits of shopping (went to Pacific Fabric twice for the 20% off as they have so many cuter fabrics than Joann's). H brought up the Christmas stuff yesterday and we ended up getting the tree half decorated and I got the mantle partly done. We also finally started watching our Downtown Abbey S3.

I slept like poo last night, didn't fall asleep until after 1:30 then had bad dreams involving evil Ex. Slow getting in to work, then while waiting for work email to download, read my personal email to find out one of my godfathers died on Saturday. I hadn't seen him since I was maybe 18 as they're too old and weren't able to travel for the wedding. THEN a minute or so after, my boss came over, upset because I screwed up another PO. God, I used to be a GOOD employee!! I even took a lot of effort on this one and somehow still missed that it was supposed to have a perforation on it. I want to go in the bathroom and cry, so I may end up ducking off to do that.

Yup That's why I mentioned it! I ended up spending like $25 and then $30. I haven't found any generic stockings I've liked to use when we have various family with us, so I ended up buying a damask Home Decor fabric that's similar to a fancy French Laundry stocking I like. I did give in and buy some ribbon just because I still wanted it the second day, even with no project for it

lol I have to stop myself from doing this - there are so many things that I'm like "ooh pretty!"

Morning. It was hard to go back to work today. I'm missing h and bkb. yesterday was so relaxing.

Had a team meeting and coaching this morning. The hardest part of my day is over with. Just need to do my usually Monday things.

[Deleted]

Afternoon. My neck and shoulders are killing me. I'm unbelievably stressed out about a lot of things right now and it's making my muscles really tense. I'm just ready for this week to be over and get all this behind me.
