Tuesday Randoms

[glitzyglow]

In my headboard SAGA (lol, not really), the Fedex guy tried to deliver it yesterday while I was out and apparently a signature is required. He's supposed to try again today...my roommate is home but sleeping (she works nights), so I don't know if she'll hear it. I left a note basically begging him to take it to the apt. clubhouse since they'll sign for it if my roommate doesn't get it. Otherwise I'm going to have drive way out of my way to a not-so-great part of town to pick it up.

And speaking of my apartment, they messed up the March statement. I swear, I have to double check everything this gd complex does because they mess up *all* the time. I'm sure when I call they won't answer because they never do and they rarely respond to emails, so I'll probably end up having to go in to get it fixed. Hopefully I'll have a headboard to pick up there anyway!

I'm going back to my hairdresser after work today. My hair didn't lighten as much as I wanted, so we're going to use a stronger toner today.

I went to one of those paint nights last night on a date. I was surprised to see so many couples! I thought it would be a girls night out thing and my date would be the only guy. It was mostly couples. I thought it was a nice date activity since we had a little break in the middle to let our paint dry and refill our wine =)

brooke77, how was the date overall?

[sweetchix]

I told my director that I applied for the management position (to report to her) and she was thrilled. She said it made her day. She also said the recruiter planned on making the screening calls this week and is hoping to set up interviews within the next few weeks.

Also, I keep thinking today is Wednesday. So disappointing

It was good! He was someone I was friendly with at my old job.  He's super hot and I've always enjoyed his company. This is our 5th date maybe?  But we date infrequently.  We are taking it really slow.  I guess it's weird dating in general and also weird "dating" a friend. I've never done that before.

sweetchix, that's exciting that the director was excited about you applying!

I'm working on booking travel for my move to Thailand. This is finally making it seem real! I started the visa application last week, but actually paying for the flights is like OMG! When I graduated with my MBA last May, my gift from my parents was a trip with my mom to Savannah. Then life happened and the trip never happened. I keep hoping they will be like oh hey - we'll pay for your flight as a graduation gift, but so far they haven't. They are usually pretty generous with helping out with things like that, so i'm still holding out some hope!

I did weights this morning -- after being sick for what felt like forever it was kind of like starting over again. But felt good to do it. I have another day of mindless administrative work to do today. Tonight meeting a friend to walk on the beach.

I cleaned up some litter outside of my work and saw how much more there is that I hadn't realized. I might wear old clothes tomorrow and do some major cleaning up before my work site opens. Why do people litter? There are literally at least 4 trash cans around my work site and yet people just leave trash everywhere. I found a ton of water bottles and plastic bags today.

Pick-up my DS from the airport this morning and was only 1 hour late for work.I can work that time out instead of taking a 1/2 day so I am happy.
Now to just convince him to come in early tomorrow night so we can drive back tomorrow night and spend the night in the airport city instead of me having to get up at 1AM to take him them going into work.

I thought it was Wednesday, too, and I was super excited to watch the new Broad City tonight. I have to wait another day, boo. Did you catch it last week jigsy?

Yes! I love this show...I went back and watched season two because I wanted more! 

I wish it were Wednesday...but Tuesday means new "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and "Jane the Virgin", so at least there is that.

I think yesterday/today is the first time I've started to miss Vegas. Which makes sense, it's been 2 weeks since seeing him. While we have had a few messages exchanged, it hasn't really been substantive. It's not bad, but it's still a little bit of a bummer, and probably even moreso because we are kind of in a limbo state. Yes, we are on a break, but he did say he has been thinking about me and it seems like hes also thinking about "us", which is what I hoped would happen while he is away.

But I am also still operating under the break rules, so I will be going to a speed dating thing on Friday, lol.

I've been at a conference for the last three days in San Antonio. I've made out with a different person every day. I've had a damn blast. And new guy is picking me up from the airport when I get in tonight. And I booked a trip to visit ginger.

I'm really milking this being single this lately.

I want your life. 

As soon as I saw San Antonio I was all "There's a Torchy's Tacos there!" I know my cities by food...

Well, our attempts to take advantage of my hyperfertility have failed. I started the period from hell yesterday. OMG. I haven't had a period like this is a LONG time. Going through super tampons every couple hours, bulky pad backup, cramps. FUUUUCK! FUCK YOUUUUU PERIOD!

Now I have to call my RE and figure out when I will start 6 months of Lupron.   BLEEEERGH

On the plus side, I won't be pregnant for:
- Being a bridesmaid in one of my BFF's weddings
- Plus her bachelorette party in Tahoe
- Another friend's wedding in Vegas
- HER bachelorette party in Vegas
- And all the camping we're going to do this summer with our new (to us) jet ski!!

jigsy, isn't he still hung up on his ex girlfriend? or am I confusing you with someone else?

Either way, I think you should cut this guy loose, you can do better than this.

Yes and no. He has been hoping she will just go away. He's told her repeatedly that they will never ever ever get back together (sorry, had to slide in T.Swift), but she still contacts, and he ignores until she pulls the suicidal/self harm/depression card or she will contact me, or his sister, or cousin, and he will respond again, which only fuels her refusal to move on.

I told him that it has to stop, and he understands that. Talking to him about his feelings toward her and me, I am confident that he doesn't have feeling feelings for her, he has some guilt he is holding on to. But I am giving him the space to do it in his way, I don't want him to resent me if something should happen in the future...even though I am pretty confident that that wouldn't happen. I think it is unfair to dictate how someone else deals with relationships in their life. I know not everyone agrees, but I don't see it in black and white. Everyone has a different idea of what are deal-breakers. Knowing what I know about him, this isn't a deal breaker if he is willing to do the work. I am not waiting around while he does, but I am not just closing the door because I don't get my way when I want it.

But in doing my own thing, I can still miss a person I have been talking to daily for months, regardless of how it turns out.

OMG you guys, I am SO pissed right now.

So I just had DDs' hair cut on Saturday. Well, I just picked up DDs from after school care and DD1's bangs looked weird. Turns out XH had his mom cut them more because he thought they were too long. They look H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!! I texted him right away and told him his mom is not to cut their hair ever again. I am so fucking pissed. I know it is just hair, but I just freakin paid for their haircuts 3 fucking days ago!!!

Holy crap, I am absolutely furious on your and your daughter's behalf!!! Can you talk to your daughter about saying no if that ever happens in the future??? I'm so mad for you.

Did her crush notice her new hair cut yesterday or today??? ::grin::

She said she couldn't tell Grandma no.


He says DD1 told him she wanted them trimmed. She says she didn't. I can very well see her being "talked into" agreeing that they needed it if he and/or XMIL thought they looked too long. As much as I am pissed about the cut, I am even more pissed that he went ahead and had it done without asking if I minded first. I would have told him I'd take her back to my hairdresser.

And I completely forgot to ask about what her crush thought. I was so heated up about the cut I'll have to ask her in the morning.

ETA: I kinda want to tell him to give me the $20 he cost me by ruining her cut.
