Friday Randoms

[glitzyglow]

I am reading a book about an online dating service developed by the owner to help people maximize their chance of finding love online. The author showed examples of how she "improved" a few profiles of men and I cringed at a of the few profiles, as they were pretty cheesy after she got a hold of them.

Last night I stopped by Ulta to get a few things for a thank-you gift and they didn't have anything I needed. One was discontinued (Goodbye Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Blackberry...you were the perfect red for fall) so that wasn't their fault, but the other two were out-of-stock. I feel like Ulta stores never consistently have stuff in stock and it gets annoying. I walked next door to Target to get one of the items I needed and they had plenty of them in stock.

I'm tired. It has been a long week.

I'm so happy it's Friday and a long weekend.

Oh and BF and I have decided on an engagement timeline and I'm so excited! It's a bit away but it'll be here soon. It's a good thing to look forward too since it'll happen after his MBA.

I'm hosting a dinner party tonight! So excited. And redredwine is going to be there and meet the guy I've been dating. He's met a few of my friends all of whom have given him glowing reviews, so hopefully it's unanimous!

Guy with whom things were fading? Or a new guy?

Same guy. Things weren't really fading we just had an off weekend. Things are really great!

I joined a fitness challenge at my gym and kickoff is tomorrow and I also joined a diet bet which starts on Monday. I'm hoping the $60 (combined) that I've invested will give me some good incentive to stay on track.

Other than that I have a low key weekend planned and I'm so happy about it! The past few weekends have been so busy for me and I'm excited to just rest.

Congratulations!

And nothing against your plan, but this always makes me giggle when people say we're going to get engaged at such and such a time. To me, that's like you're already engaged. You've made the commitment to make the commitment to get married. I don't know, it just tickles me.

I know! We only set it this way because we want to make sure we survive him doing his MBA in South Africa. It's pretty much already being committed without the formality. We're trying to be practical about it. I suppose. Lol!

I woke up early and instead of just laying in bed I got up and did Insanity. Then decided to go eat breakfast out...I got pumpkin pancakes. Yesterday I bought a pumpkin pecan waffles candle from Bath and Body Works. I texted my friend and said that my pancakes tasted like my apartment!

I have a phone interview at 10:30 for a job I'm really interested in. I'm just worried the pay will be too low. But since I'm currently unemployed I'm guessing any pay is more than what I"m currently making...

I'm getting over being sick and have my half marathon on sunday. I'm debating whether or not I should force myself to do a shorter run today while I'm still feeling blah. I have a lot of work to do today so I'm thinking running isn't going to happen. Instead, I'm chowing on banana/chocolate chip pancakes and trying to hydrate.

I am having a relaxing weekend which I really need after having had a really intense time at work for the past month or so. I was getting pretty grouchy and stressed so I need some time to recuperate. I look forward to having Monday off too.

I went to the salon yesterday for a much needed catch up. Apparently I hadn't been in 6 months which is a long time for me but my hair was looking good until the last week or so. My hair is medium length but I'm trying to grow it a bit longer so I didn't take much off. In other news, I tried Living Proof recently because I'll be traveling a lot in the next few weeks and they make $10 travel size shampoos/samples. So far I like it. I wouldn't make it my full-time regimen but I do like it as something I'd rotate in. I think it might be a little too drying if used full-time for me but I do like it. I've just tried the conditioner so far but I will try both the conditioner and shampoo when I go out of town in a week.

I plan on soaking in the tub this weekend with Netflix..........

Hello, everyone!!
My random: We have a bye week in soccer this week. I am trying out for a women's football team next week, and we won both our kickball games last night!

[idahome]

I took today off. I spent about an hour handling work stuff this morning, but the rest of my day consisted of spending time with my folks. It was great. Now I'm lounging on the couch with the Cubs game on, but I'm thinking about showering then tucking in with season 1 of the Walking Dead.

It's been a long ass week. Thank goodness I took today off for a three day weekend.

I just saw something about a women's football team here today and thought that's something I would like to go see.  If you make it let me know!!  Good luck.

I wasn't able to make it to tryouts last week, but I will try and make it to their next round. I found out that Raven has cancer and she was at the vet's office that day. 
I hope that things are going more smoothly when they have more.

Thank you, Winecat. 
She has a mast cell tumor that is draining fluid into her abdomen.
I am taking her to the Oncologist on Thursday, and I am in the process of making an appt with a homeopathic  vet as soon as possible. 
I am also doing a ton of research on turmeric...
I want to make sure I am well educated when making my decisions for her. I can't lose another pet this year, losing Simon was already tough enough.

A girl on my local board had wonderful results with a homeopathic vet when her pup was diagnosed with cancer.  He lived another 3 years, I believe.  I've heard good things about turmeric too.  Big hugs to you.
