I have tons 'o randoms: - Finally watched the Bachelor episode where they are in Deadwood, WOAH it was hilarious - best 2 on 1 date EVER! - My new boots came this week & I am wearing them now while working from home (shoe-free people, don't freak they have not been outside yet) - THEY ARE AWESOME & SO COMFY!!!! (Stuart Weitzman Semi's) I like a little heel, so these are perfecto. - I seriously considered calling in sick today (which I haven't done ever when I wasn't actually sick!) because I'm so exhausted with work, but then remembered I took President's day off a long time ago - LONG WEEKEND! - We get our slate tile for the basement project today, so that's fun. - Um, it was 14 degrees F this morning when I went to the gym - WTF.
Oh, yeah and it's PAY DAY! OK, off to motivate myself through the next 8 hours (somehow).....keep me entertained, mm.
I am excited that it is finally Friday. This has been a stressful workweek. I don't have Monday off, but it will be nice and quiet since most of my clients do.
I am having coffee with an old friend (known each other since preschool). We had a falling out a little over a year ago and haven't seen each other since. I hope it goes well and isn't too painful.
I got my nails done last night with a living social I bought. The girl was telling me all about why she does a better job than those "oriental" places. Um ok then. And she was younger than me....she did a good job but I rather like my local "oriental" place.
And VACATION. Supossed to be record lows in Cleveland this weekend. I leave tomorrow for 6 days in the Carribean. Yes please!!!!
The network is down at work and there is no sign of it coming up anytime soon, so I am sitting here playing on my phone. I'm hoping they send us home soon.
I think I'm going to clean the house today. Maybe even shampoo the carpets. Happy valentines day, H! But, to do that I need to get off the couch. *sigh*

I had the morning with just my daughter today (wasn't allowed back in school after vomiting but there was clearly nothing wrong with her so I sent my son). She is a totally different kid without her brother around. I need to spend more one on one time with each of them. (yes, I know I didn't post this on MMM, I don't care)

Somehow I lost my left contact lens. My eye was all itchy and so it likely fell out while I was messing with it. So I'm now rocking nearly hipster level plastic framed glasses and fighting low level nausea and dizziness from how different the world looks through my glasses plus my peripheral vision being out of focus. Welcome to Friday!
I got my MMR shot this morning. It took 1/2 hour to get it because they weren't sure about how to dose an adult, they had to look it up. It wasn't too painful. I have to go back and get a second one in 28 days.
Perhaps this should be a confession instead, but I once (after a long afternoon and night of drinking margaritas) roamed the aisles of a grocery store in Minneapolis exclaiming, "Where's the f-in Kaukana Light, bitches?" A poor 3rd shift grocery store employee may have heard me.
Why was I so concerned about the Light version after all the margaritas and chips I'd consumed? I blame Weight Watchers.

@shoegal I love those boots! I wish I lived somewhere where boots were appropriate often enough to justify buying another pair. #socalproblems
I just listed nearly the entire contents of our house on Craigslist and my local community Facebook page. Couches, tables, chairs, dining set. People are vultures when things are cheap! To make it MM, the proceeds will pay for our move and likely enough new furniture in our tiny house.

Walking from the parking lot to my office on Friday mornings is the best feeling. 1) I run with my LLL group, so I have post run, slightly achy but awesome feeling legs: 2) I'm usually wearing awesomely comfortable socks or shoes and it feels all squishy and amazing; 3) I"m wearing jeans or something endlessly comfortable; and 4) it's friday.
It's such a dumb thing, but that walk always feels so good.

Yay Friday! Monday is a holiday here so its a long weekend and for once, we have no plans. I'm so happy.
Its sooo cold here and its supposed to get even colder over the weekend. Brrrrr. Enough of winter already!
I was looking at the credit card statement online last night and it lists pending transactions at the top of the screen. I saw a charge for a local high-end inn/spa and my first thought was that it was fraud. Then I remembered that Valentine's day is tomorrow. We don't usually celebrate but I'm wondering (hoping) if DH is spoiling me. I haven't told him that I saw the charge on there and will fake my surprise but if he really wanted to surprise me, he should have used his personal cc rather than our joint card.
I know better than to read the comments of a news site, but it's Friday. There's a lady who is concerned about one of the Powerball winners who quit her job at McDonalds. She's all "what is she going to do when the money runs out and she's already quit her McD's job!?? She should keep her job so she can feed her kids!!"
I used to work at the UNC Dental School, so I wore my old shirt today to show support after their horrific events this week. The button down underneath is in case I'm told to take it off because we're really not supposed to wear t-shirts with our jeans at work. ETA: This is NOT the crazy Dean school!
I'm taking the REG portion of the CPA exam tomorrow. Ahhh!!!! I'm so not ready!!!
On the bright side, my husband and i are going to do something fun afterwards. I can't decide what we should do. I'm thinking about going to Dave and Busters. I'm so excited to drink for the first time since New Years eve!
I heard MH's power tools buzzing away in the basement last night, and he wouldn't tell me what he was working on so maybe it's something for tomorrow. We never exchange anything big so I didn't have any grand ideas ... I'm going to the liquor store at lunch to see if there are any beers with "love" in the title, and if I can get to Trader Joe's tomorrow I'll pick up some of their chocolate peanut butter treats.
He pointed out some cool glassware last night. I wish he'd mentioned it a week or two ago because then I could've had it delivered in time for Valentine's Day. It's from Colorado so I can't drive to pick it up. I don't know whether to order it now and wrap up the receipt for tomorrow, or save it for our anniversary in 8 weeks. Our anniversary gifts usually stick to the theme, though, and the fifth anniversary is wood and silverware ... I figured I'd have a tree planted somewhere.

I'm losing my mind with this no school thing. All this week for weather and next week is break. I'm currently at legoland ingnoring my children and knitting. I need to start smuggling in alcohol.
CRAP. No love-themed beers at the supermarket liquor store. Now I have to figure out something else on the fly tomorrow.
Also, is the apocalypse coming or something? I stopped in Costco for goat cheese but walked right back out again, because the lines stretched halfway through the store. It's even worse than the time I went right before a snowstorm. Maybe it was a combination of payday + Valentine's Day dinner and treats/flowers?

I think its a bad combo of Valentine's Day, the snow, and the bitter cold. The morning news was telling people to stay indoors because of the temperature. Uhh...how about you just dress warmly and be smart/prepared?
