I hate that I went from loving my job to wanting to jump off a bridge in two short weeks.

This sucks.

You know how people are doing that 30 days of thanks? I'm attempting 30 days of no bitching. Lol. Failure, party of one.

My sister is pretty high strung about planning her wedding. She got upset with me last week when I didn't know how I wanted to do my hair. 9 more months of these shenanigans.

The 30 days of thanks makes me roll my eyes. Hard.

sfy, I am waffling between liking the idea of cashmere pants and hating the whole look in that picture.  Are people really trying to pretend their comfy pants are haute couture?!

The king of Bhutan kind of reminds me of one of my college boyfriends.

I own similar pants (not cashmere) and they look so horrible on me it's not even funny. I mean they basically look like tight sweatpants

sfy-the intention is to post one thing a day for which you are thankful. most tend to fall into the obnoxious Academy award thank you speech level humble brag territory.

milsaroo, make no mistake. The waffles were delicious. And Happy Anniversary!

It's our anniversary (11-11-11) and every year part of me feels a bit guilty for getting married on veteran's day.

we were supposed to adopt winnie 9/11/15 but it was delayed until the 12th after her foster dad missed his flight. at the time, I was majorly bummed. in hindsight, I'm so glad I don't have to celebrate her anniversary on 9/11.

happy birthday LoveTrains!

My office was technically open today, but since I'm in charge I decided that the whole team (20 of us) would meet in the office for about 3 hours and stuff our annual appeal letters, then go play games and BBQ at the park for the rest of the day. So that's what we did.

We used condoms for the first time basically since we met.

Dude. They suck. I almost just said F it.

LoveTrains - happy bday!!!

milsaroo - happy anniversary. don't feel guilty about your special day!

sfy - source for those pants, please???

My random - I checked my corporate card rewards balance and nearly have $400 of gift cards. SHOES!!!!!!

If you have a bag (like, a kind of ripped open big bag) of Twizzlers/Jolly Ranchers left over from Halloween, and in cleaning up for your housekeeper to come you put your one left over peanut butter cup and one little bag of Swedish Fish in that Twizzlers/Jolly Ranchers bag but everything else in there is Jolly Ranchers at this point, how would you feel if your housekeeper apparently went into that bag and took the PBC and Swedish Fish?

Work is driving my husband crazy and in turn, he is driving me crazy. He is so cranky, I am about to go off on him. I'm going to try to find some kind of comedy for us to watch.

Ann Taylor, @shoegal .

Not pleased, v. It's the same as going in the refrigerator and eating some food. Plus, I love fish.

I don't know how to feel, while I think my husband thinks this is a huge deal.  This wouldn't cross my mind if she hadn't happened to take out the only two good pieces of candy.  She may not have realized that?

Follow-up (and completely moot*) question: Say you buy a bag of Twizzlers/Jolly Ranchers to hand away at Halloween.  One member of our family thinks that's thoughtful because some people have dairy/nut/chocolate allergies and those candies are options for them.  The other thinks PBCs are the only acceptable Halloween candy and only a monster would buy Twizzlers/Jolly Ranchers.

(*Moot because we are clearly monsters for another reason -- signed up for the building trick-or-treat list with the intention of leaving a bowl outside our door that afternoon then went to a bar in the morning for rugby world cup and yada yada yada didn't get home until long after trick-or-treating was over  :?)

I randomly got hooked on Twizzlers last year.  I think they're more than acceptable.  Jolly Ranchers, though?  Eh, kind of weak. 

In related news, can you guys believe that a little tiny Laffy Taffy costs $.25??  I learned this at the store the other day.  I almost put it back.  I know those were $.05 like ten years ago.  That's absurd.

The peanut m&m snack size packs, like you give out on Halloween, contain 7 m&ms. Very skimpy in my opinion.
