Thursday Randoms

I wish summer would be over with already. I am so ready for fall and cooler temps. I can't wait to get some fresh apples and cider. *sigh*

I really just want to call in today and hang out with the pups and go get my hair done. Too bad I actually have to go to work and be productive.

Also did I tell you guys I have now spent almost what I spent on my own wedding dress to be a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding? I know if my mom were a live I wouldn't have spent a penny because she would have made sure that they were paying for it but I don't have the heart to ask my Dad. Its not that we can't afford it its just that I feel like every day there is one more cost she adds on for the bridesmaids.

It has been mostly in the 70s here for the last week. I'm hoping we don't see more than 80 for the rest of August and that fall sweeps in quickly. I'm going to enjoy the heck out of being in a location with all four seasons this year! Fall is perfection.

I'm looking forward to going on vacation so desperately. Work has been crazy and my load had increased threefold between my supervisor going to Africa for 3 weeks, my boss being in Paris for a week and a half, a coworker going out suddenly as his wife went into labor 2 weeks early and being out to spend time with her and the newborn - all at the same time. So that pretty much left lil' ol' me to call the shots around here. :::nail biting::: I've managed to keep everything from going to hell in a handbasket but it got pretty hairy at times. My boss is back now and my supervisor and coworker both are expected back in office mid-week next week. Wheeeeeee!!!

I went to nursing school orientation yesterday, and I start classes in 3 weeks. I'm so excited/nervous/scared to actually be in nursing school after years of working towards this.

We had a taste of fall yesterday. 50s and rainy all day. I just wanted to curl up in my sweats with a good book, but had to work instead. Today the sun is back out, but its no longer 90s which is nice.

I start my new job tomorrow! I'm going to be a part-time office manager at a nature center!!! WOOHOO
It's also where I volunteer in the wildlife rehab center. So I feel like I'm moving forward with career options, which is great!

BTW, I used to post on the nest (hattishay). Figured I'd come join you.

My random played off of your random so I just need to add...

I'm really disappointed in the quantity of pre-Korea sex H and I were able to get in before he left. Between being incredibly uncomfortable in any position thanks to pregnancy, DS being super duper clingy all day and night with H (understandable) and just general exhaustion by the time we got alone or in bed at night....it just barely happened. I plan to work my ass off after Quinn is here to get my body in shape for his mid-tour. Because I know expectations are going to be ridiculously high for both of us. It's exciting and nervewracking all at the same time!

[meltoine]

Lamp - that's so exciting!

Mine is that I'm doing so much prep work for this PCS because I was scarred by our last one. If it doesn't go easier this time, my opinion on mil life may drop several points.

Also, H called me from work yesterday to ask if he could go to a movie with his boss and another coworker last night. I hate when he does that. Boss's wife and kids are out of town and coworker is single. So if I say no, I look like a big old party pooper. In reality, if H had tout about it for ten seconds he would have realized that we're leaving town in 2 days and won't be back until 2 weeks before our PCS. Clearly, I needed his help at home last night.

But he didn't think about it and I didn't want to seem like a meany pants. So I said yes and now I'm silently resenting myself and him.

Thanks! I'm silly excited about it. Even if it's office managing isn't a career goal, I've got a foot in the door. Volunteering really does pay off.

Yeah, it's been the fastest, busiest summer I can remember. Hopefully, I can get involved again : )

[hurricane]

I'm ready for a change. I'm orginally from WV and relocated to DC. I'm ready to relocate again and in a big way. I want to move to CA. My husband would move there in a heartbeat. I just wish it was that easy.

And I absolutely can't wait for football season.

[brandienee]

Hurricane, why do you want to move to California?

Flycatcher, WELCOME BACK!!! I would love a job like that. Congrats.

Honeybadger, sorry about the issue. That really sucks.

[brandienee]

I have another one.

I am so excited to have a job, but I don't want to go in to work today. I would rather stay at home and watch 30 Rock.

And I am surprised that I still managed to get an A in my useless summer class even though I totally dropped the ball on the final research paper. I don't even care that I got a C on it. It was due yesterday, and I had other things to focus on. I didn't want to spend my last weekend with H constantly tied to my computer, so I didn't.

[basilosaurus]

I'm torn between missing fall, favorite season, and loving that I live in a place with near perfect weather year round.
