[Deleted]

Happy Friday! It's been a long week so I hope today goes quickly. I ordered some bathing suits and stuff last night from vs for my upcoming vacation.

Thank goodness it is!
I'm feeling a lot better today than yesterday. I went to bed early and got a good night's sleep.
Today a coworker and I are going to do prelim shopping for the company cookout next week. And tonight I pack everything in the car and get ready for my weekend of renfaire and with J.

I'm up super early to road trip it to Tahoe with redredwine for our friend's wedding. In so excited, if a bit sleepy.

Happy Friday!

I'm looking forward to the weekend so so much. All DD all the time, plus a kid birthday party and fun at Pride with friends. Going to be a lot of fun!

TGIF, seriously this week has been so slow!

I stayed up Wed night until 4am talking to a guy, am I in high school? It was so nice though. We are going out on Saturday night and I am actually pretty excited, we have an odd amount of stuff in common and connect differently than I have felt before. I hope it translates well in person. I am breaking my own rule of starting to like someone before we meet.

Yesterday I had an off site with my team. We shut down early at 2pm and played whirlyball, laser tag, had some drinks, and ate dinner. We had such a good time and my team really needed it.

I am reading Holly Madison's book and its quite interesting.

Perhaps it's being used to cut up food into smaller bites in a bedroom somewhere?

Used by whom??

We leave for Italy in a week and a day.
FI called the airline company to purchase extra room on our flight and to ask if there would be a place where I can keep my dress. Guess what she did... she gave us premium seating for FREE!!! She told him, "well, I don't know what happened and I am not going to say anything else about it, but for some reason it gave your premium seating but didn't charge you."
After they got off the phone, he checked the reservation and all of our flights have bulkhead seating or exit row seating! He is 6'4" and I am 5'11", so this was a wonderful "gift" for us!

I'm now getting cold feet about possibly going to Paris. My friend said that there is nowhere else for a 2nd person to sleep; no sofa and no room for an air mattress. There has to be a path wide enough for a twin air mattress it would seem? I was hoping to have my BFF and/or my brother come out while I would be there. I'm not so sure about being by myself for an entire month. I don't know anyone in Paris. I can definitely entertain myself easily but not having any real social connection for a month? I'm not sure.

WHat about staying in hostels? I stayed in a few on my European and Asian adventures and I met people along the way. I even took a few day trips with some of the ones I met. I became such good friends with some of them, that we are now Facebook friends. I even met up with one that I met in Madrid, when I went to Costa Rica!

I have the opportunity to rent my friend's apartment for a month this fall.  I would definitely do the hostel thing if traveling on my own under different circumstances.

It's my niece's birthday so there will be cake later, the SCOTUS made the right ruling, and I have a nice weekend planned. It's a GREAT day!!

[jojoandleo]

I'M GOING TO VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone here was going around the same time, and now I can't remember who. If it is you, message me!

So happy about the SCOTUS ruling -- that'll trump anything negative that happens today! Happy Friday!

I just have a lot of work on tap for today and the weekend because I have a deadline on Monday but will also throw some yoga in there to balance it out.

I'm leaving work at 3pm to head to the beach to see the bf. Some friends of ours are also coming down, they rented an amazing ocean front condo! SUPER EXCITED! There have been a ton of shark sighting in Ocean City. Happy the condo has a pool.

I was teasing you. A reference to your kid eating in his room.
In all seriousness, do you have a cleaning service? It happened to Miso once, and she found it outside on a windowsill. We guessed it had been used to break down boxes for recycling.

Oh sorry I missed that! He's been with his dad for 3 weeks so I don't think it was him. No cleaning crew. I looked at the bottom of the dishwasher....I never use knives for anything but cutting food. I don't know

This sounds like a great opportunity -- and one you might regret if you don't go! Could you make an effort to meet people there?

You're going to my happy place!  Enjoy!

I need to work but I'm having too much fun on social media right now.

A former nestie popped up in my people you may know thing on FB and it really startled me. Small world, I guess?

[glitzyglow]

I gave someone a factual argument as to why the Confederate flag is racist in origins and that it does not represent freedom (as she claimed it does) and she fucking made a status about how people are "lashing out at her" and "making her feel stupid" followed by a "haha. LOL. hope u feel better. i feel great. ur not bringing me down at all." WTF...this chick is going to be 30 fucking years old this year.

[sweetchix]

There is a lot of relief in my hometown because the one escapee was shot (has it been confirmed that he was killed?). He has family here and some of the orosecution team live here. Not sure he would have been dumb enough to come after them, but now they can relax.

I'm heading to my friend's house to drink and hang out in her hot tub. It is just what I needed tonight.

[glitzyglow]

Now I have my "panties in a bunch." I almost feel like it would bring this girl satisfaction to defriend her.

[idahome]

I started the process of cleaning/purging my office today. It feels pretty good. Loved the SCOTUS ruling, but I'm pretty sure my Facebook feed is going to shrink because of it.

Bummed that I'm not able to go to my SHRM conference because of my new job. But really, yay for my new job.

That thought has definitely crossed my mind.  When I'm old and gray, will I regret not spending a month in Paris when I have the flexibility to do so?  (Money is a whole other story.)  But, I live by myself and work by myself right now but at least I have some social outlets.  I might meet people there but it could be difficult as my French is very rusty.  I thought about asking if there is room for a cot.  There's got to be room enough for a cot?
