Tuesday Randoms

I went to sleep last night at like 8pm! I guess waking up at 4:45 to workout will do that. But... I did it again today, hopefully I'll at least make it to 8:30 tonight!

I take biotin and Viviscal for my hair everyday but I hate how it makes my nails grow so fast. It seems like they grow from out of nowhere.

I was watching So You Think You Can Dance and passed out around 9:30 on the couch.

I have bowling league tonight, I have never done one before and mainly signed up for this one as a networking thing because a lot of leaders are in it from work, so I am hoping it's fun. I am debating if I can get a light workout in before and not look like a mess.

I decided to fix my car instead of replacing it for now and am irrationally pissed to be spending that much money on it.

I looked at my 401k this morning and shed a little tear. -10.5% YTD return. I need to stop looking and just have some faith it will rebound and be okay.

Can you pick where your 401k is invested?  A loss in the market recently seems a little odd.  Did you post on MM?

It's in a mutual fund that overall has done fairly well in the last 2 years.  It's just the recent drops that are killing me, the Dow is at a YTD -10.95% right now, so at least I am right on pace with the average, so while it makes my stomach drop to see it I am not too worried.  I have been reading through MM though.  I wish I had a couple grand to invest right now while the market is low, but I just don't have that kind of cash.

Ah!  I didn't realize this year was down.  I don't pay much attention, obviously.  I thought the market was doing well.  I usually only look at my year end statements.  Your 401k will recover.

Cool. Gotta love when there are maintenance issues on the plane and I'm gonna be running late. yesterday I switched my flight to the earlier one. So that's lame.

Bummer. On Saturday my flight was delayed because of a scratch on the plane. I understand it could lead to bigger issues but... a scratch. Just sounded funny. I hope your plane's issue is an easy fix and you aren't too late!

Final class prep and many meetings today. Hopefully going for a walk with my friend and her pup later.

As frustrating as delays are...they aren't taken lightly, so at least there is that?

I got invited to go to Vegas (the place) with a cute dude last night...if I didn't have to go to work, I think I'd do it. It sucks being an adult.

In Vegas, we got delayed because of the heat + weight of the plane. They ended up pulling people off the flight because I guess when it is too hot out, the weight a plane can carry is less? I don't know. It was weird. But we had to pull BACK to the gate and remove luggage/people.

Aren't you catching that nasty summer cold that's going around? cough, cough.

We were about 30 minutes delayed. I walked in only two minutes late to my meeting. Whew.

How cute is this dude? My answer depends on that. Haha.

I think pretty cute. He is the one with a weird name...pretty sure I've sent you a picture. lol.

I just looked at mine and it's at -6% YTD  :N: I've only ever seen it at like +2% at the worst. I have faith it will go back up.

I'm on such a high about my job right now. It's amazing being a position that makes actual change and getting to use my skills at the same time. I'm super scared because some of the decisions I'm helping to make and advice I'm giving will be impactful on campaigns. So that's scary! But i"m just like I've got this and trust my instincts in my recommendations.

You guys I am seriously hating my job. Yes I took it to pay down some debt, but I'm miserable.

Life is too short for that.  Find something else.

I'm with you on this. Mine is...just not right for me. I am a creative type and I'm in the opposite of a creative job. I don't know why I thought this was what I wanted to do.

My sleep is a mess. I have a headache today. Yesterday, I shared my domestic violence story on FB. And it felt very freeing. My friend recreated some photos for me. And took a picture of my cat and I. It turned out so cute.

[1confused1]

MauMau that's adorable

[cuddlyevil]

I love how Mau never looks happy. It makes him that much more adorable.

I'm at my state HR conference this week. Sessions, sadly, aren't that interesting, but I'm enjoying being away from the office :-)

NYS just released their unclaimed funds database and I'm on there under my maiden name and old, old address. Property type is listed as "warrants" from NC so I was a bit startled when I first saw that. But once I looked up what "warrants" were in relation to unclaimed funds, I was relieved. I had to e-mail them though because, while I'm on the initial database, when I went to the comptroller's website, I'm not on that one. Weird. I was told it's a hassle to collect the money so I'm hoping I can find out how much it is before starting the claims process. I should get a reply within the next 2-3 weeks since they've been getting slammed with e-mails/phone calls. Fingers crossed it's significant enough to be worth it.

Hello ladies! I'm at my new job doing nothing and loving it. This job is everything I wanted (except it's still part time for the moment). I'm so fecking happy.

BF and I spent last weekend house boating with friends. It was such a fucking blast. I'm literally hoarse from laughing so much.







Pismo for Labor Day/BF's birthday! I could definitely get used to this!

Ladies worried about the market; DONT! Do you look at your house value daily, no! Don't look at the market that closely. So long as you don't need all of your money right this second you're fine. Close your eyes and buy more if you can! I've had an over 11% drop in mine and more after tomorrow I'm sure. It's a correction it'll happen. ::steps off of financial advisor soap box::

I'm so exhausted after court and this weekend. I couldn't sleep last night. It needs to happen tonight.

I do look at my house value often because it's insane and I fantasize about what I would do with the equity.  sigh....
