Thursday Randoms

[glitzyglow]

I had my 2nd date with the guy I went out with 2 years ago (lol, we tried to figure it out last night). We met up for drinks and chatted for a a long time. He is pleasant and I enjoy being around him, so we're going out again Saturday night. I am trying really hard to just date and enjoy the process while not putting too much seriousness into it. It's summer and I want to have fun!

Termites have taken over my work space. I called pest control to come out, but I just looked over and a skink (probably the same one I saw a few weeks ago) was chomping on a termite, lol. Thanks skink!

stephreloaded, I just thought of you because I am starving even though I ate breakfast 2.5 hours ago. Why is this happening?!

Today I'm passing in my final dissertation forms and paperwork. One more day of proofing and then I get to upload the dissertation itself. Exciting and terrifying at the same time.

I'm in such a rut, ugh. I have a "phone" date with the eh+ guy tonight. I have only talked through the matchmaker of that program and this will be our first communication. I hope it's not weird and awkward.

[glitzyglow]

doglove, I hope it's not weird and awkward. Is the guy from your area?

Yay for dating and dissertations!

The bf will be leaving Dallas tonight to start the drive here and will be here sometime tomorrow mid-day to evening. I made him this sign (blurred out his name). It is cheesy, but I think he will appreciate it and will make his favorite meal for dinner tomorrow night too. His text to me last night was "after an 18 hour drive I'll be too tired on Friday, but on Saturday you better fuck the shit out of me" I told him of course lol.

I'm working from bed. I got four hours of sleep the night before last and it's catching up with me. I feel lazy, but hey if work is getting done it doesn't matter right?

I got my nipples pierced on Tuesday. It hurt when they did them but afterwards they haven't been hurting nearly as much as I thought they would!

So there's this super annoying couple on my FB but I like to watch the shit show. She's the OW he cheated on his XW with. They got engaged four months into "dating" and married a few after that but are having a "wedding for friends and family" this September. The groom's dad posted on their WEDDING PICTURE ALBUM that he didn't want to go to the September wedding/vow renewal because it's not a real wedding since they got married in March.

The dude posts a meme of Nala and Simba from the Lion king with the caption "You're not my number one, you're my only one".

Lions practice polygamy. I find this EXTREMELY amusing.

2 hours after lunch and my stomach legitimately just growled. I am a black hole.

@32flavors- what color did you decide to go with for your pool?

My random: I am disgusted by the number of women I work with who do not wash their hands after using the bathroom. They'll just use water and then dry their hands. The one this afternoon happened to go into the lunchroom right afterwards and fill her cup from our COMMUNITY water cooler!?! After not washing her hands!?! Blech!!! Why???

Yes - I believe he lives less than an hour away though - still kind of far.

This is the color of the finish, the waterline tile is sort of a cobalt blue, it's not a crackle but a similar finish.

Ooh, very pretty! I love the darker blue look to pool water.

I am finally, officially DIVORCED!

This morning I got an IUD. I was pretty terrified to get it, as everything I read said the insertion was going to be OMG PAIN. So I got very little sleep last night. Turned out to not be really any (or much) worse than a pap smear, so thank goodness for that. Here's to five years of effortless birth control!

But... soap is no extra effort. 

I worked in a place where we only had port-a-potties and the locals along with some other country nationals only used water after they pooped. Like no toilet paper, it was their hand and a bottle of water to clean. It's very common in the middle east and south west Asia. I don't care what you use or how but wash your hands afterwards. I had to explain multiple times that they HAVE to use hand sanitizer after they do that. A guy even waved his hand at me and goes "I used water, it's clean". 

no.

I find this happens to me if I eat high carb, or not much protein. Like if I have cereal for breakfast I'm almost always starving an hour or two later, especially if it's higher in sugar, I think it has to do with the blood sugar spike.

If you're eating high protein then I dunno lol

jenstar I'm the same. I need protein and fat!

I eat oatmeal with almond milk, peanut butter, and a banana most mornings. If not, then eggs. Why do I still want all the food 2 hours later?? Why body why??

Today is my Friday.  I'm glad, it's been a long wee and I'm tired.  I went out last night with a few girls from my new job and it was fun.  I just feel a little uncomfortable because they're coworkers and I'm new there---one is new like me and I think we feel more comfortable to trust each other.  This new job also has lots of dinner lecture type things and conferences, so I have to learn how to balance an outside relationship with new coworkers.  In my old job it was different...we all knew and trusted each other.  We backed each other up and knew who not to trust.  I'm still learning the lay of the land here.  
Tomorrow we're heading to the beach (to see my mom).  I hope it's a good weekend.  

[alleinesein]

I am finally off mom duty!    <)   Today was her first day back at work.  I missed my alone time during the day.

My favorite sheet set has a hole in the fitted sheet.  This makes me sad  I need to decide if I want to find a fitted sheet that matches the set or if I want to get a whole new set.  They are just so pretty and they match my room.

Well.. That is a def mystery..

XH got back from his "babymoon" today/last night/whenever.. When he came to get DS earlier I asked how the holiday was as he'd mentioned having a "horror flight" home.. He told me they tried to get upgraded but didn't and then "an Indian woman" in front of them was puking the whole way back and making a big fuss and nearly puked on his GFs foot and she's pregnant so what gives?! :,( and then the flight attendant told them "off the record" that it some of "these people" who are new to flying are just so dramatic about it.. And then he went on to complain about the crying children and how they wouldn't be quiet, the "whiny IMMIGRANT children".. I said, well I'm sure there are plenty of Australian children like that too, and he responded with something like, well yeah but kids normally settle down and the parents were doing nothing..

Reason #4008278 why I'm glad I divorced that ahole. I swear he wasn't racist when I married him but maybe he just hid it well..

It went okay, it's really hard to gauge chemistry over a phone call. There were some questionable things and also some positive things. I'm supposed to meet him tomorrow for lunch, so I guess I'll know more then.

DD2 told me earlier this week that she and her Dad are sleeping over with the GF. DD2 sleeps on the couch with the dog.... She has dog allergies that she gets 2 shots a week and 2 pills a week for.... Her Dad sleeps with the GF... I know I can't do anything about it but it sucks she is 8.

I used to have this problem til I started having a protein/meal replacement shake for breakfast. I started on isagenix but just recently bought gnc total lean to save money and so far I'm liking that but it's only been a couple days.
