Saturday Randoms!

[abcdefu]

Good Morning!

I slept almost 12 hours last night! I was BEAT!

I am so pissed at Old Navy! I have $50 in SuperCash to spend and the promo code wasn't working so I called. EVERYTHING in my "cart" is a "Hot Deal" and you can't you the super cash on those items, even though they are regular price. WTF?!

I went to my primary doctor yesterday and he suggested a handicap placard. I have mixed emotions. I know it's for the best because it will conserve my energy by not having to walk as far when I'm out, but just the word "handicap" makes me feel sad and is a reminder of how much my body and my abilities have declined the past 2 years. The good thing is that I can use it when I'm having a "bad/off day" and not use it when I am feeling good. I'm just trying to see the positive in all of this!

I also have a shit-ton of work to do this weekend. I was so busy this week and was unable to get all my work done at the office. I think I'm going to grab my laptop and do my work by the pool today. It's gorgeous out!

Happy Saturday Ladies!

I wanna move there soooo badly!! Last night I was texting with my family member that lives down there. He was so pissed because B.H. Cable was out. Yikes!

When I went to the game 3-4 years ago, my team was playing TB and my team got their butts kicked! lol! It was such a fun arena though! I have some pics from there on my fb since it was my first NHL game!

We're heading over to my mom's to swim once DDs are done with lunch (which is taking FOREVER!). Afterwards they're spending the night and I'll probably be netflixing something. Is the original 90210 on Netflix???

Yesterday at lunch I witnessed a woman flipping out on the manager at Panera because she wanted 7 salad dressings for one salad. She didn't want to pay for the extra 6 dressings and said she was never charged in the past.

I can't imagine getting that upset about salad dressing. Or putting that much dressing on one salad.

Was it ranch? When I had the restaurant people practically drank that shit.

If it was ranch, did the person look like someone who might use CAPS LOCK inappropriately? Was the manager UNCARING and an IDIOT? Just curious...

[starburst604]

Omg maybe she was the infamous ranch dressing poster!

I'm getting a mani/pedi right now and got my eyelashes done yesterday. Gotta look proper for our family/newborn photos today! I hope they come out nice. It's hard to dress myself since I'm so limited in wardrobe options right now, even though I've lost most of the pregnancy weight things still don't fit quite right.

Just got back from walking around the lake. Going to get cleaned up and head to the animal shelter. Hoping that I'll find a little buddy to bring home.

Date tonight. We're starting with drinks and skee ball, and will just kinda see where the night takes us. Meeting in a fun area, with several bars/restaurants and some music venues. So I'm sure it'll be fun.

abcdefu, don't be turned off by the word handicap. It's just a word. You have been through a lot. why not take the opportunity to be able to make shopping trips easier for yourself? You don't have to use it, but you certainly are entitled to. My stepdad had it (different circumstances--heart disease and form of leukemia) and it was just so much easier for him then struggling with packages and getting out of breath from exertion.

abcdefu don't let the handicap thing bother you. I had one for 6 months after I hurt my knee and while at first I was a little upset by it, it ended up being a savior for me. One of my good friends has one for her ankle and just like you said if she is having a good day she doesn't use it, but it is nice to have the option.

I went shopping today with the sole purpose of finding a bachelorette party dress for my Dallas trip in two weeks. I bought 6 dresses. Whoops. The 20 lbs I am down makes a difference and I just couldn't help it.

I have a date tonight with a new guy. Not sure what we are doing yet. He joked about getting lost in Ikea together (I live right next to it) and sadly I wouldn't be upset by that because I have some things I need to get from there and hate going by myself lol.

Omg you know that's who I thought it was!

[abcdefu]

Omg @bk I read that as 7 different kinds of dressing! I was all like " BARF!"

@blueyes623and bl - I know it's for the best but I just hate feeling labeled. I know it doesn't define me and in the long run, no pun intended, it will be beneficial and may even make me feel better by conserving my energy. It's just kinda a reality slap.

[cam13]

I just ran into XSIL, XH's niece, and the woman he left me for at the store. His birthday is this week, I assume they were shopping for that.

It felt like a punch to the gut. But, my hair is looking awesome today so at least there's that. I said nothing and just walked by but my Mom was staring daggers at them.

Fuck. Sometimes divorce is just so weird.

[redshoejune]

I took my kids to the museum to see dinosaurs today. I thought it might be a disaster but it went really well.

[glitzyglow]

cam13, that sucks. Sorry you saw them. I know how it can mess with one's head a bit.

I worked today, ate dinner, and now I'm in bed with my cat perched on my shoulder, purring away, lol. I am about to watch either Jesus Camp or For the Bible Tells Me So on Netflix...I'm leaning toward FTBTMS.

Here are some better labels that apply to you -- feel free to tape them onto the placard (provided they don't invalidate it) -- strong, resilient, champion.

TG doesn't drink foofy coffee, always just getting black coffee. He mocks me a little. There's a coffee shop near his house that has the BEST iced latte, so I made some joke about "I'll totally give you sexual favors if you stop there on your way over here."

So he's there. And he's like
"Uh, iced latte, cream & sugar?"
"A vanilla latte would be perfect!"
"What exactly do I need to tell them to order that?"
"Iced vanilla latte."

LOL. He has no idea how to order anything other than plain coffee.

LOL he sounds like J.  He only drinks hot, black coffee. My hot or iced coffee or lattes baffle him!

I <3 this idea! Thank you for the suggestion! I appreciate it!
