I forgot to take my allergy meds this morning and I am DYING. Luckily, I will be near my house in 2 hours so I will be stopping there to take them.
chalupa, I'm super jealous of your work from home. And good luck tomorrow!
Tonight I am going riding. Tomorrow I may hit up the market and then going riding. Then making a salted caramel apple pie and relishing in being home alone as P is doing an overnight guys thing. Sunday is riding and then doing a family GTG as my aunt and uncle are in from OOT.
Last night I went to an alumni event and stumbled across a bachelor auction raising money for an animal shelter in Chicago. Random, but entertaining. A couple of the bachelors were chatting people up beforehand and they kept doing so after the auction. So I got chatted up quite a bit by a 28 year-old firefighter and I gave my number to a man who moved here from Minnesota and both plays and coaches hockey. The hockey player seemed actually excited that I gave him my number and made it sound like he wanted to take me out next week. We shall see
Oh yeah, weekend plans. Nothing tonight or tomorrow. Sunday I'm going to watch football with my friend and her husband. I'll probably do some reading this weekend and maybe a little shopping, definitely cleaning and organizing a lot.
My hair is finally getting to the point where it's almost at my shoulders - just a smidge to go! I think by Thanksgiving/Christmas I should be golden for a full on ponytail. HOORAY.
chalupa I have had some really random nights out. The bachelor auction was going on in the room right behind the space for the alumni meetup and all of them had to keep coming out to the bar by us because there was none in their event space.
Maybe it's the universe's way of rewarding me for the shit I went through with XH? To prove life is better without him around, maybe (which it totally is).
I had to forcibly restart my computer this morning because it wasn't opening excel.
Tonight is a kidfree night for me, they're off to a family wedding on the other side and I'm volunteering for a music festival (same one as last year, except I only get one day free). Tomorrow I'm picking up a pair of new shoes, then getting the kids, then going to a birthday party for one of DD's friends from church. Sunday will be church and relaxing.
Lol, tiramisu. I saw that on FB! I loved your friend's comment - "of course you did!" Sounds like a pretty fun night.
H and I went to a cooking class last night. It was actually a lot of fun. We ended up doing tastings of cheese and charcuterie, paired with wine. Who can argue with that?
The weekend is supposed to be beautiful. I'm going to a winery tomorrow afternoon for lunch, a tour and a tasting. No plans yet for Sunday, but I will probably spend it catching up on some house stuff.
Tonight is supposed to be dinner with MIA friend and another mutual friend. We'll see what happens.
Tomorrow I'm crossing the river to go pedal pubbing with my bff, gault, J and some other peeps. Then we're going to bff's for her daughter's 5th birthday party. That should be entertaining after we've been drinking for hours.

I'll be interested to see if MIA friend hangs out, doriswe. I was laughing as my MIA friend tagged me in one of those "friendship" e-cards on FB, but when I clicked on the notification, my name was gone and the post was listed as "edited". Lol.

She expects that I'll end up in weird situations, especially ones that involve guys. I was always the flirty one in college who could approach most guys. I've been trying to rub off on her.

I was doing this training yesterday where I had to put 3 things in my treasure chest. They were supposed to be 3 things I didn't want to live without. My list was: P, Nora and Levi. I was telling P about it and he said that he found it kind of sad that I put my pets before my family. I feel strange about that choice. On one hand, I agree with him, but on the other hand, I feel like my pets (and P) are my family.

We've been planning this dinner for a monthish. She pretty much doesn't respond and when she does, it's noncommittal. Other friend and I picked a place and a time (5:30) earlier this week. This morning, at 8 AM, when I have no access to FB (although I see the messages in my email) she posts "can we make it after 6?" Ugh.
And since it's MIA friend story time, last weekend she was emailing me about weekend plans. She had said she was going to do the mud run with me weeks ago. In the email she's all "I'm not sure about the mud run. It's too long to go into in email." Huh? Then said she was going to this downtown pub crawl thing. I email her back and tell her we could meet down there and to give me more deets. I get nothing. Then Saturday afternoon she's texting about my plans so I tell her we're going to go down there and she should let me know what she's doing. Crickets. She finally texts at after 10 PM saying "we're downtown. Where are you my love?" My love??? I text her back that we're already home because we were tired after the mud run." 30 minutes goes by and I get "booooo."

Could have been hookers, blow and duct tape...he should be glad he made the list!

My list would be the same. In my mind, I made a life-long commitment to care for my pets. Humans can fend for themselves, but my 4 legged beasties cannot.
Well, and I'm not super close with my fam. I used to be with my mom, but she has changed over the years and I can now only take her in small doses. That, and I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that she is in poor health and probably won't live too many more years.

SMH
P.S. That's hilarious!!
OMG, this is as good as me getting the "Friend! Where are you? I'm feeling neglected!" text.

*Probably* wouldn't have gone over too well at work....
and my weekend is the same as last except flipped around.
Tonight is a wedding reception. Couple eloped in Vegas but are having a fun gambling reception tonight. I guess they are having black jack and poker tables set up and even rented a few slot machines. Should be a blast.
Tomorrow is a huge bonfire party with some great friends that I have known for what seems like forever.

It's totes cool at my work
ETA: A few weeks ago, my supervisor was talking about coparenting stuff (she's in the process of divorcing) and she was all worked up that her SBTX would think she was doing "questionable stuff." I told her (without even thinking) "you can do whatever you want as long as your not snorting coke off of a hooker's ass in front of your kid." lol...prison life is fun!

"Friends" man!
It's probably for the best, we didn't see her, since gault and turtle1120 were going to be icy towards her

That's because everyone is in your work because they used hookers, blow and duct tape.
