Monday Afternoon Randoms

[Bernadine]

I just scheduled us for an elective ultrasound on December 30 so we can find out the gender a month early. Impatient, party of two! Lol.

I just put a scoop of peppermint stick gelato into a mug of hot chocolate. Would highly recommend.

I hate doing xmas/new year cards at work. I've gotten about 15 emails in the last 30 minutes from my admin with different options/layouts; and after each email she jumps up and runs over to my desk to ask my opinion. Just pick one, I don't care that much!

I just took a nap.  Between the nap and the three hours on the train/metro/metro/bus this morning, I did like an hour of work today.  Ugh.  Now I'm trying to convince myself that if I work really hard for the next hour before picking up the kids it will be all the same as a real day of work.

I really like Christmas shopping.  I started feeling meh about it this year, but now that I am 99% done, I'm super happy with everything I bought, and very excited to give them.  I (we) buy for 8 kids, 10 adults every year, and I think I manage pretty damn well

I'm pretty sure my neighbours must think I'm a nut job. I realized I just belt out random shit all the time. Like, calling the kids for dinner, I'll yell "heyyy youuu guyyyyys" like Sloth. Or loudly gobble like a turkey at ilya.

They're probably like "what is even going on over there..."

I did this, too! It's a girl! It was definitely worth it.

The ceo of the nonprofit I work for just got a new desk. A treadmill desk. At a nonprofit.

I hate when brides try to justify the cost of a BM dress by saying you could probably wear it again.

No, this dress just screams bridesmaid. And it's $300.

JEALOUS!!! Ugh, I'm usually so much better, but am sucking this year! I have ONE gift, & that's one of those wake-up alarms for niece, which was bought from the link SIL texted me, sooo. I need to get ON IT!!
(And sorry, on app; otherwise I'd bold instead of caps, but those words need emphasis!)

no shame in this game. at our first OB appt, DH and i were like "$50 to find out early? TAKE OUR MONIES".

One of my coworkers was telling me about something that happened at my office that isn't sitting well with me, but I don't think there is anything that can be done at this point, so yeah....

PDQ

This morning, 2 of my coworkers who come in early saw that our building had some graffiti on it - this isn't terribly crazy, we are on a busy street in Los Angeles, it happens - but they said it that it said "Death to America" with some Arabic characters. They took pictures and went inside and were approached by another co-worker who is like an office administrator, and is also the owners daughter. OA asked the two co-workers if they saw what was outside, they said yes, and they took pictures to show another office administrator because this other person doesn't come in from that direction. (I know this is confusing, my office is weird, we have underground parking, and also off site parking).

The OA told them she was already taking care of it, and they should delete the pictures because they are just having someone come to cover the markings. They don't want to involve police or whatever because they don't want any "negative press". So the two girls did, and the graffiti has been covered.

So now I am feeling weird about it. I don't really think it was something that should just be covered and not reported to any authorities, especially in light of what happened last week in San Bernadino. But there are no photos or whatever now, so I don't feel like there is anything to be done. I'm also wondering if I should be doubting these two co-workers account.

All in all, I have a weird feeling now. And I don't like it.

I'm baking two banana bread loaves to give to my friends tomorrow but I really want to eat them. It smells SO good in here.

I have pretty much done jack at my job all day. Still don't have a gift idea for DH, or have C's school paperwork done either. I knew I should have just stayed home and slept.

I just realized that January will hopefully be out last month paying rent! I am so excited to get out of this dump we live in now. And to have an oven, stove, dish washer, washer, dryer that actually work!

I picked up a copy of "The Joy of Cooking" on my lunch, I am so excited. Look at me! I am becoming an adult!

I will admit that I am jealous but Congratulations!!!

My coworkers took me to Shake Shack for bday lunch. Omg. Food comma and I feel sick. There was cake after we got back. DH isn't going to be happy, I'm going to postpone his dinner plans and go to bed.

My new door is in and looks pretty.

TR Yay for no nail biting! I haven't bit mine for 4 weeks. I did break one the other day though so it looks crappy and raggedy like I was biting it but I swear I wasn't!

I keep tapping them on shit and scratching H's arms with them. I've bit my nails my entire life.

Me too. And I've quit a million times. Hoping this one sticks. I file my nails a billionty times a day, though, lol. 

I haven't been filing, but keep trimming invisible hangnails and "fixing" my cuticles. :S  Keeping them painted or with these weird wrap things on them has been helping though. Now it looks like I have little globes on them with these new wraps!
