Hey there! What's up with everyone today? It's quiet on SO and there's a lot of stuff happening on ML that I have not gotten involved with.
Today I've eaten like crap and blame PMS. Ugh. It's warm out today which is awesome, but it just got a bit gloomy. I'm taking off tomorrow because my LL and some contractors need access to my apt and I do not trust that asshole. I hope he's in and out quickly and does not aggravate me.

Work is SO SLOW today.

Tomorrow my entire team is heading down to Atlantic City for a conference/team-building event for 3 days, which should be a lot of fun.

Then I get to see my adorable pseudo-BF (I call him my pseudo-bf because we haven't officially given each other a title, but we've been seeing each other exclusively since July, soooo...we're basically bf/gf without the title) this weekend. He makes me stupid happy. I haven't been this "smitten kitten" over anyone in ages. I feel like a kid again, lol.

[pandora]

Im.glad you're watching your place with your LL. I wouldn't trust him either!

I just finally saw my friend that I posted about over the weekend and I got to tell her about the baby, yay!! I feel huge but she said she would have never guessed and just thought I put on weight, lol. Felt good to tell her. There's one more but she's been trekking all over the country skiing so may need to text her instead. Then, I'll announce, woot! But, now I'm thinking that I want something more creative than my current idea. I had a great idea and it included my pets but now there's only one and it's too sad to think to do it that way. Stupid hormones, lol.

I had a date last night. It was odd; it felt like I was dating myself. We have quite a few similarities and share some similar experiences.

He wants to go out again so I will just wait and see what happens. My only hesitation is that he doesn't drive due to medical issues and he lives in a part of town where parking is a huge challenge. And he can't really come up to my part of town since public transportation is non-existent and its a good $60-$100 cab fare each way.

I just completed my taxes. I had to pay $7. No big refund for me!

Trying to talk myself into going to yoga tonight, but my knee had been hurting so that's though. And our dog has audible farts tonight... Thankfully they do not smell lol

I can commiserate, public transportation in San Diego sucks unless you are lucky enough to be close to the trolley line. Maybe Uber can help, isn't it supposed to be cheaper than a taxi?

That's actually really good! As much as we all look forward to getting a refund, I've always heard that the best situation is is try to owe less than $150. Last year, DH and I owed $600. I changed my withholding to single, so we should get a bit of a refund this year.

[idahome]

Work was a beast today. I didn't even touch my inbox because I covered payroll for the normal person. I'm sure by the time I get to work in the morning I'll have over 150 unread messages. I'm kind of anxious just thinking about it. Lol.

When did The Rock start doing commercials for Ford Service?

I bought 3 pairs of shoes today online. It feels so indulgent, but I'm sick of not having basic pieces in my wardrobe. The black riding boots I currently wear a) have cracks in the soles so water comes inside the shoe and b) disintegrated under the sole and it coming out in pieces. My only pair of black pumps are so old and showing their age. So I purchased black riding boots, black pumps, and black over-the-knee boots. It's doubtful they'll all fit, but this is the year I really want to have basic great pieces to fall back on in my closet.

I met a new friend and her husband for a run today. They were both really nice but in the back of my mind I was also thinking that they were the type of couple that stbxh and I would have been friends with back in the day. Sigh. I'm getting more used to being a third wheel in these types of situations but it's still blah.

On a positive note I have a pretty full week filled with some fun activities that should help me move forward. Yay!

[angieawesome]

I haven't been on this board for quite some time, however, I don't feel that comfortable posting on any other boards. I am under so much stress that I'm just trying to keep my head above water. I just started a new job, which I am trilled about, but it's a program I'm building from the ground up and if it fails...well it ain't gonna look good for me. Plus, school is very stressful and I have a residency in DC for a week and I have never left my kids for that long and I'm anxious about this. Plus my DH and I are moving into our new house on March 1 and I don't feel at all prepared. I just want to fast forward to the summer and be past all this. I know it will happen and I can get there, but I'm just trying to keep my head focused and look forward, but its not that easy.
glitzyglow, good for you. I need more boots! I have either my uggs (not appropriate for work or residency) or ankle boots. I miss wearing hot heels! Once I get past all this stress, I'm treating myself!

I have been on a really good health and feeling good kick lately. I ordered the 21.day.fix. because my SIL had success with it and we are going to do it together as soon as I get it.

Oh and I also ordered over $200.00 in makeup!

oops!

[arielroux]

Oh, I thought of another one...I was drinking and internetting on Saturday, and I ended up ordering Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs. Lollllllll for days.

(But I also kinda can't wait to try it because, in my head, I was meant to be a hip hop dancer. Again, lol for days.)

Well, you needed new makeup to go with your new hair color

My dinner was disappointing..and it was missing an ingredient (blue.apron).  We've been really happy with their meals, but today was a bummer.  I'm a little tired...J has been snoozing on the couch for over an hour already.  
Even though I'm not working tomorrow, I won't get to sleep late because LL will be here early.  I'd like to take advantage and do a few things like errands/shopping so hopefully that works out.

YES! This was my thought too! I desperately needed eyebrow liner and gel to darken my eyebrows. It's not my fault that it was a really good deal for a whole set of makeup!

I usually shop online, but I'm so tempted to attempt to go to sephora tomorrow...just because.  

[flatlan]

I went to therapy today and only cried twice which is a big improvement over most weeks. Afterward, I went shopping. I didn't buy much but it felt good to just wander around.

Mrs.Rad888 He lives in Hillcrest and I am out by the Wild Animal Park. I love Hillcrest but damn is it a pita to park down there. They keep putting in new apartments but they aren't providing enough parking to go with them.

Wow, that is a long way. And parking in Hillcrest has always been a hassle, I don't imagine it's gotten any better in the 10 years since I moved to WA.
