I Facetimed with sweet baby nephew today, but Daniel Tiger was on, so he was giving me . Like, Auntie, you KNOW better than to call me right now.
I really need to get my hair done before Tuesday, but I was too late scheduling and now my stylist is booked. I sent her a "let me know if anyone cancels" text hoping she would have mercy on me and agree to squeeze me in, but no. She was all, "I'll keep you posted." So much rejection and it isn't even noon yet!
milsaroo, I didn't see you post yesterday, so I was thinking the baby might have come, but then I saw you post this morning lol. Whomp, whomp, whomp.
I get to have one-on-one time with my grandson tomorrow while his mom & dad take my granddaughter out for a fun day for just her - my grandson has special needs and they try and do this a few times a year. Sunday will be a lazy day - probably grocery shopping, cooking for the week & laundry. I'm off Monday for my birthday so I'm using a gift card for a pedicure then going to my parents for dinner.

LOL to so much AM rejection.
Not sure what we're going to do, but I need a break, so hopefully something fun.
We may go look at used cars for me. I still think we could hold off a bit, but DH doesn't really want to put any money into it or fix things himself. We decided not to give MIL my car or give it to my family member, and will sell/trade mine and put towards a car for me. I really like the Kia Sou, but we'll see.

Looking at houses and good American food is all that is on my agenda for the weakened. I'm just enjoying the kid free time. Who know stupid tedious things could be so fun without kids? I do wish I didn't have this stupid cold so I could enjoy the food and drink a bit more. Oh well.
I found out I passed my class this week so that was exciting!
H and I are going on a date tomorrow. Work has slowed down some now. I got a new car a month ago so I wanted to take it in to be detailed. I do not like a dirty car and it's been raining really bad here. Other than that just grocery shopping and getting things in order for M's 2nd bday party next weekend.
Anyone ever send an email so bitchy to your boss you feel certain you might get fired? Oh...just me? I swear I do this every few months. Then I have the nerve to feel nervous and regretful! I need to get myself under control, but my goodness, she annoys me so much sometimes!
We're having DS2's first birthday party tomorrow and family is invading our house today. I'm excited to see everyone yet exhausted b/c this baby is still not sleeping through the night. The weather here is beautiful this weekend, so hopefully we will do some outdoorsy stuff. Any suggestions sfy?
How many people will you have? I might be tempted to pack a picnic and head to Piedmont with a frisbee and a kickball. I do like to go eat at one of the places around Inman Park and then walk a bit. Not really much to do over there, but I love the area. They reopened MF Sushi over there, too. You guys could go to Atlantic Station, too. More space to walk. I like Ponce City Market, but it's not really going to keep you outdoors.

@foodielicious I'm glad you're ok.
Last night I was woken up at 1 am to Rocko barking. He never does this. Well he had a good reason. Some people were standing outside the house talking. Um weirdos it's 1 am, go to bed or go talk at home, not partically in my yard. Of course the only reason I know this is Boyfriend left the sliding glass door open (sliding screen closed but thats not going to even slow someone down) after he got back from walking Rocko last night.
We got to have a whole "Don't leave the house open all night" conversation including a lesson this morning on the stop locks on all the windows and door so you can leave them cracked (like 3-4 inches) to vent without being openable from the outside. Plus keeping it quiet means Rocko sleeps and doesn't bark, which means I sleep - instead of being woken up in the middle of the night thinking someone broke in.
Sigh. Boyfriend was apologetic this morning at least. And it's Friday so I might get to sleep in tomorrow.

I may have been known to send something like that to a VP once. But I didn't have the humility to feel remotely sorry about it; I even defended my position when he came to my office to assert the fact that he was the boss of me and I shouldn't talk to him like that, LOL.
So when are you quitting and writing those Downton novels?

8 adults and 2 kids. It's early for festivals but man I wish there was one to attend this weekend. Adults are going out to Ponce City Market tomorrow night, lol. I'll see about maybe walking from Krog Street Market down the Beltline during the day...
Ugh, I know. There's nothing to do here unless there is a festival or some other special even. How many times can you take people to the aquarium, the King Center and the High? I have no interest in World of Coke lol. I don't even drink soda. But that sounds like a good plan. I hope you guys have fun!
My BF became an American citizen 2 weeks ago, so we're having an "America" party tomorrow night. I'm excited. It's the first party I've hosted since I sold my old house 3 years ago, and I used to love hosting parties! My house is so tiny so I hope people don't mind standing... Anyway, we'll have American themed food, stereotypical American beer, songs about America and freedom and stuff on Pandora...it's going to be fun.
Plus, my BFF and her H are driving in from Michigan today so they can come to the party, so I'm excited to see them. We haven't seen each other since June. It will be fun to hang out with them tonight/tomorrow before the party.

The world will get 34% cuter this afternoon as Miso J. Puppy is going in for a haircut.
I am then taking her to my favorite bike shop to drop off a bag of dog food for the pet food drive they are hosting. I may or may not be doing it solely for the instagram pics.
I met one of my neighbors today and he's an idiot. We talked a little about Arrow then he asked me why we have to have leash laws if dogs are well behaved. Because not every dog is and it only takes one second of a dog not being on its best behavior for something to go wrong. Then he asked why in the world I'd get her spayed if she's an only dog. Because it significantly reduces her risk of cancer and eliminates any chance of puppies when there are already too many puppies in shelters. I doubt he'll engage me in conversation again.
Thanks for thinking of me sfy ... if only it were true. I just walked a mile outside with coworkers though. Hopefully that helped?
kathybela , that sounds like a wonderful weekend and birthday! steph96 , every once in awhile I get paranoid about who could be reading. I seriously forget some of the things I post or they're typed in the moment and the feelings (may) have passed. I got called out IRL two separate times for something I posted on TK. MNH2013 , congrats! @foodielicious , I hope you heal up quickly. I don't like last minute additions to catching up with a friend. Also, I always feel bad for doggies when it's not their fault. @buckybells , it sounds like such a fun party! One reason I wish we owned a home is so I could feel more confident hosting more. I know some people wouldn't mind our townhouse but I do!
Thank you ... and if your baby happens to be born Monday Kathryn is a lovely name for a girl
I had a nightmare that my husband found out about my GBCNing and he had been reading my posts for months without me knowing.
Haha. My H knows about my GBCN habit. I had a dream the night before last that I had to present something at a law firm (I don't know why, I'm not a lawyer). And rather than use a briefcase, I put my things in a grocery cart. Yup, picture me walking the halls of a stuffy law firm with my grocery cart.
I'm almost done with all this Girl Scout cookie shit finally! I've never had so much cash in my house. I think we sold around $9K in cookies total! A few people still owe me money...and surprise, surprise 3 out of 5 of them are the troop leaders/fellow "cookie" moms. Damn people pay up!
I've got DD2's volleyball game tonight (I coach), then tomorrow more girl scout cookie selling & DD1 has a volleyball tournament. But Sat night is DATE NIGHT which always includes an overnight for the girls...so that's exciting. Otherwise I've got nothing...
I had a nightmare that my husband found out about my GBCNing and he had been reading my posts for months without me knowing.
This happened to me...I'm not sure it was months but it was a while. I was sooooo pissed. Not so much that he knew (he knew I posted on Message boards for years) but that he was lurking recreationally & didn't tell me..then got pissed about something I posted about an ex from like 20yrs ago before I ever met him. He better not be fucking reading this right now.
It's almost time for my meeting to discuss my performance evaluation. My heart is about to beat out of my chest. Since we are all in cubicles and there is no privacy, I asked my manager if we could meet in the conference room. She agreed. a couple minutes after that email was sent, her favorite snitch went into her cubicle and they started whispering. Ugh.

Oh man. I can't even form a sentence about how I felt when I read your post. It would be especially bad of my husband read mine because I have said some....uhh...not so kind....things about him the last few months.
I just inputted the majority of our tax info (missing 1 or 2 minor 1099-DIV inputs) and it's not a pretty picture We owed a lot last year, so we manually withhold a good chunk each pay period and it still wasn't enough. Oh well... Guess I'll wait a few more weeks to actually file.

I'm going to crawl back into bed and not come out until something good happens. Mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer on Tuesday and one of my good friends passed away on Wednesday. I'm mentally exhausted and would like some good news!

I'm so sorry alleinesein, I hope things turn around.
Last Friday I was nervous for a job interview I had. They contacted me Monday, and we negotiated through Thursday. Yesterday I signed my contract and gave notice. My current boss is an asshole so it felt great to give notice and say no to a counter. Now I'm busy planning a week of relaxation in Mexico with my mom. I'm so looking forward to that R&R between jobs!!
