Wednesday AM Randoms

I have to go to the Dentist today for a filling But I promise I brush EVERY day!

[walterismydog]

Aww, that was kind of insensitive of her to say. I'm sure she wasn't trying to hurt you or anything, but I'm sure it stings.

My randoms:

I quit my job yesterday. Had the best possible outcome: they asked me to stay on as a contract employee. I was an AE - nonnymouse. Not an exciting one, just one who hated her job. Long story, landscaping job fell through, but my restaurant job gave me more shifts and I'm really enjoying it. I'm working in the kitchen now as a food runner, which is AWESOME. No sidework and I get tips - good ones. Love love love.

I got a tattoo yesterday. I've wanted it for a while and saved for it for a while and I was just waiting for the right time. Major life event - get a tattoo. Boom.


New guy also got his tattoo worked on yesterday, so I think that's pretty funny. He's the best, you guys. THE BEST. We aren't official or anything, but it feels like it might be soon.

Hugs to you AutumnRose25. It's crazy how people can unknowingly (or worse yet, knowingly!) say the wrong thing like that. The day I came back to work after my miscarriage one of the partners at my firm said "well, it could be worse, my wife is sleep deprived at home with a newborn and two other kids." Yes, yes, I can see how that would be much worse, thank you jackhole.

I wanted a banana this morning but couldn't bring myself to spend the $1.50 Starbucks wanted for a single banana.

Walter - love the tattoo!

[Jalapeñomel]

I´m really considering taking friday off. We don´t get any sick or leave days, which is ridiculous, and my boss will know it´s because my parents are in town and we are leaving from vacation. But I am not sure how much I care about that.

[walterismydog]

Thank you, bex1973

SEAHORSES FOREVER!

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

My 45 min commute this morning happened in a thunderstorm. While my client was out for therapy for an hour, I came or to my car to meal plan/GBCN. I have 5 minutes left and am a parking lot away. It started reasoning again and three longer I sit, the harder it gets.
STAAAAAAHP!

My SIL and bro kind of get on my nerves in the general sense, not just in this issue. My SDs have their own laptops and cell phones. DH is an IT guy and monitors ev.ry.thing they do. He has all these websites blocked, he gets a daily report of what websites they go to, he is friends with them on all social media sites they are on, he heavily monitors the phone activity etc. Nosey busybodies SIL and bro keep trying to "catch" them at something. SDs joined a new site with permission and supervision, SIL and bro immediately sent ZOMG text messages to us.

Last night I sent a pic of the new house where we will be moving to SDs. SD1 posted it on the social media site saying "this is my new house!" SIL isn't a member but bro is. He sends her a screen shot, she forwards it to me this morning with a "ZOMG their mom is moving in with her boyfriend, did you KNOW about this?" Bitch you saw the listing when we signed the house, pay attention, that is OUR fucking house. Stop rubbernecking and move on with your day! I'm sure they judge us for letting them be on social media sites but it's DHs decision, he has it under control. Mind your bidness! She would just LOVE to catch them at something we don't know about. I'm so annoyed.

[PennyCandy]

I got a 99% on my OB final yesterday. I have my peds final today and then I'm done until the summer semester starts. Yay!

[rex]

I have been resting my arm on my belly and every time I do the baby kicks it.

It's the first time she's kicked seeming annoyed with something I'm doing. It's kind of funny.

Also, I got an email from amazon mom for 20% off select items, and our crib is one of them! We were not going to buy it yet but for $40 off I can't wait. Plus free 2 day shipping! Amazon, I love you.

[luckyval]

My boss assumed my birthday was yesterday (it's Friday) and told me to take a half day yesterday. I didn't correct him

But now, I'm feeling all achy this morning, my throat hurts and I have a dull headache and I want to go home. Nobody's got time for that

[silva]

This morning my soon to be 5 year old was watch Jem and the Holligrams on netflix. I wasn't sure what to think.

My nose is runny, throat and eyes are dry thanks to allergies. ugh.

My husband posted a link on FB about the article about the CEO of A&Fitch explaining why he hates fat people. DH's commentary "This is sick." I heart my husband hard.

[dcannie]

i bought a waterpik a few weeks ago (the ultra that plugs in) and it is THE BEST THING EVER. if you love going to the dentist and/or love how your teeth and gums feel after visiting the dentist, get this thing. it's a huge mess but my gums feel so, so great.

I got talked to at work yesterday about being 15 minutes late pretty much all the time. So I made it in 1/2 hour early today.

I tried to use my neti-pot last night and my sinuses are so inflamed the rinse couldn't go through. Owwwww

PLEASE tell me people were there that early & saw you! Other wise that would suck...

[ElizabethBennet]

My period started today. I know it was only our first month but I'm still bummed.

DD is still running a fever and I'm wondering if I need to take her in.

[Kit]

Someone actually wrote a note and taped it to the counter in the office kitchen this morning asking people to please NOT remove the newspapers, and to leave them in the kitchen for all to enjoy (i.e. don't take the papers to the bathroom MEN, you nasty mother effers).

[bcv513]

My soon-to-be FIL was texting me last night about wedding stuff. He's SO excited and I think it's so cute that he feels comfortable enough to text me.

Also, my maid of honor asked everyone at the shower to write advice for us. FI's sister wrote "I always wanted a sister and I'm so happy to have one now." I totally cried

[julez]

I'm so sorry, AutumnRose25. How insensitive.

puddleofgrace - go you! Don't worry too much about the off day. You'll rock the next run!

My random is that I am dying for a bacon, egg, and cheese biscut. DYING. I almost stopped this morning but didn't, and now I'm kicking myself. I have instant oatmeal at work and it's just not going to cut it.

[Deleted]

Only two finals left to go until I'm out of here for three weeks. Also - super fun local race tomorrow. eb777888 - You're in Dallas, right? Are you doing the katy trail tomorrow?

[Deleted]

I have been sick all week (fever, chills, sore throat, dizzy) but today feels the worst. I have no voice and I have a migraine. Oh and my period. My body apparently hates my stinking guts right now. It's only 10:30 and I'm already planning on leaving work.

My birthday falls on Memorial Day this year and H wants to take the kids to Six Flags for the day. What the what?! And we're hosting dinner on Sunday for both of our moms for Mother's Day. I know I sound like a snotty brat but why can't just one of those days be all about me?

DD14 has a formal dance this Friday night. She tried on her dress with the shoes last night and I teared up. She looks so grown up   

[nahoku]

I just remembered that I had a dream last night that I was in Hawaii, in an awesome beachfront room (and I was instagramming pictures of my view, lol). And now I'm sad that it wasn't real.

I'm trying a new tactic with my weight loss/toning efforts. I've been in a major rut this whole year, and probably before then, and can't get back into the mindset and dedication of it. So I'm going to just try and be good until we go out of town over Memorial Weekend. That's only a couple of weeks away. I can do that, right?

I had to bribe DD with chocolate to get her to wear the outfit I picked out today and to let me put her hair in a ponytail.

[fuckyourcouch]

i had a dream last night, and at some point i was drinking my normal breakfast protein shake. i didn't shake it up and when i got to the bottom there were pieces of beef jerky. which is obviously the main ingredient in protein shakes. and in the dream i was all "oh this is totally normal."

this morning i shook my protein shake especially vigorously to avoid a jerky incident. lol

[Deleted]

I'm having weird dreams about friends or family catching me doing things in not supposed to be doing. Like stealing, doing drugs, smoking.

It is so odd.

I'm not doing these things in real life (duh) So why are they in my dreams??

Dh and I are so busy. I feel like we never get family time and are disconnected. I told him this and he says that we are just a young, busy family. His point makes sense, but I still feel a little off. Not that there is much I can do about it.

I'm not looking forward to Mother's Day. There is nothing I want and we have to do brunch with my in laws.

[mbcdefg]

We're having a conference at work today that requires a PP presentation in groups. Everyone in my group shot down everything I had to say, so I eventually just put the phone on mute and let them figure it out themselves.

I'm also irritated that my two young 20-something coworkers (who talk ALL FUCKING DAY and annoy the shit out of me) are cozying up to the old man big boss (who works in another office across the country) is eating it up. They're going on and on about their high school experiences and their kittens and he's loving it. Ugh.

[AHappierHour]

My eyes are even more swollen today and the redness is moving down to my cheeks and it burns. I look awful and I have to go to the store today. I wish I didn't have to go out I'm public like this.

No, but that sounds like fun! I'm taking David to Legoland tomorrow. Wheeeee!

Three of my accounts finally hit their numbers after FOUR months. I am so very relieved and that means I need just one more account to hit so I can hit my monthly goal. I am really starting to hate being in such a numbers heavy evaluation environment. Its so stressful. 

I just had an account exec email me asking where I was and why wasn't on the call with the client. uh, lady, the call is not on my calendar so it's not my fault! This chick is getting on my nerves. 

H and I had ah-may-zing sex last night. And the night before. And the night before that. Back to back to back sex is really unusual for us but I'm really liking the change.  

[cuddlyevil]

They fixed my sink! I can now use my bathroom at work!

My supervisor found a bunch of cute necklaces and earrings, she brought them in for DD. DD will be so excited.

I don't know what we're doing for mother's day, I suspect we'll spend time with MIL. Beyond that, I don't know.

[margotmacomber]

This toddler and puppy business is making me crazy.  

We are having a party here next weekend and somehow I have to get the kitchen painted and our massive yard ready.  WTF was I thinking?   (wilted)

[mrsgoontz]

walterismydog your tattoo is gorgeous! I love the placement as well. I've been itching to get a new one for a while but I can't make up my mind where I want it.


I have a cousin graduating from college this Saturday and one graduating from high school at the end of the month. I feel old; I remember when they were born.
