Monday Randoms

[abcdefu]

It's Monday, again! Sigh! 

I was was so productive yesterday and even had some time to sit by the pool! I did all my laundry. I swear there is no greater feeling than sleeping on fresh sheets! i did some shopping too! I bought all new lounge clothes and pajamas. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I took last Friday off and showed my university town to the BF. We bought deck chairs and installed them on the roof top next to his apartment, so he now has a rooftop terrace!

This week is only three days, as Thursday is our national holiday, but the festivities will be low in the city with the renewed terrorist threat after Nice...

I'm on a (tomato) juice detox, hoping it will kick-start weight loss.

wishing you all a happy summer week!

I'm off to court this morning for my first hearing. Wish me luck

Back at work and 2/3rds of my employees are gone for 3 weeks of training. It's going to be weird around here.

I AM ON VACATION ALL WEEK!!!

My nephews got into town last Thursday. It's supposed to be sunny and hot all week, except for today. I think we're going to go see the secret life of pets today. Not sure what to do after that though.

I am BEAT after the weekend in TX. We used a whole tank of gas driving around to different neighborhoods to get a feel for things. It's all very exciting and terrifying at the same time.

Joined Match this weekend... XBF blew-up about it and now we probably can't even be friends. He has known for months I wanted to date around and ran across my profile.

I'm so ready for my hosting duties to be over. So ready.

My roommate (hopefully ex-roommate soon) was washing pots and pans at 0030 this morning. THUS, I hate everyone today. It took great effort to not clang pots and pans around this morning when I woke up at 0530.

She was gone for three weeks and my depression got significantly better. I now realize it's situational depression because I feel the walls closing back in.

Good for you! Fuck him and his opinions. It's not his business and why is it ok for him to be searching match, but not you. Ugh!!!

I'm off today (and was off Friday). I so needed this break without doing much. I haven't had 4 days off in a row since we moved and that was a stressful, busy nightmare!
I purposely didn't tell my mom I was off both fri and mon because her bday is this week and she would have guilted me to go there (4 hr drive) and I just needed the rest. I will spend my next 4 day weekend there in 3 weeks.
I hung out at the pool, went out to eat and just relaxed. Currently I'm stuck on the couch with a cat and J napping on me. I want to go to a local farm store to check it out.

His problem not yours. You don't need his permission or to give him warning that you're dating again.

Fuck him for blowing up at you. Honestly, I would not want to be friends after that. Not worth the drama.

When are you planning to move? I remember when we did that here last year and then again a couple of months before we actually moved. It's hard not to get overwhelmed! It's normal! I cried on our second trip because I was terrified.
You'll have no clue where the hell you are-- it's an adventure. I never once have felt upset since we moved. I love it!! I'm sure you will too!

Initially we thought it would be the end of the year, but now it's going to be as soon as we find a house. We're going to put BF's house here on the market soon and we're already looking in Dallas so...could be a month, could be a few months, but ASAP.

His job is transferring him there, right? If so, that's good because he'll already be all set.  What about your job?

He has a completely new job there. He's already started and will be flying out and back every week. He was initially not sure if he'd feel the need to be in the office full-time right away and was thinking he could do two weeks a month for awhile, but being there last week he feels like he does need to be face-to-face for the projects he'll be working on and the heavy travel will get old fast so that's why we're moving the timeline up.

I will likely quit my job here once we're under contract on a house, manage/coordinate the move, get us set up and settled and then look for a job there. I don't technically NEED to work, whatever my salary is will just be additional fun/travel money, but I can't see me not working at all.

[berbles]

nextbigthing, good luck!

glynn, fuck that guy in his dumb face. I can't believe he had the nerve to say something to you, when clearly HE'S ON MATCH TOO. Also, exes don't get to decide anything for your life. Nada. Don't you dare let his opinion sway you.

I had a pretty great weekend! Sat we went to a soccer game that was one of the craziest I've ever seen! Our team got TWO red cards and still managed to not only win the game, but we scored a VERY shorthanded goal! Sunday we took the jet ski out for a test run (we weren't actually sure that it would float - it hasn't been in the water in several years). It did great! It's pretty tippy at first, but once you get up to speed it's great! We're taking it out next weekend for a friend's birthday camping trip, so I'm really glad we had a chance to do a test run before we let anyone else use it.

I'm heading back from my weekend in Seattle. It was really fun but my god I couldn't take the constant yelling, hitting, fighting screaming from the kids. It was totally out of control and chaotic. I could never live with that. My friend seems so stressed out and tired all the time. I'm guess kids are rewarding, but I really don't get it. But she probably doesn't get why I find my life of weekends filled with netflix that rewarding either hahaha. But I'm glad to be back to peace and quiet.

Soo tired. Is it Friday yet?

Not Monday here, but my Monday since I work part time I've been to the gym 6 days in a row and hopefully will drag myself there again at lunch time. Saw my sister yesterday and she mentioned that at DS's birthday party last weekend she overheard my dad comment to XH that he has a busy time coming up (baby due in late Sept) and he replied that yeah, the season (he's a farmer) is coming up again quickly. Lol didn't even mention the baby (which was clearly what my dad was talking about!).. but I guess that makes sense being that that's the girls job anyway haha

cuddlyevil, I was gbcning on my iPad. My 2 yo niece was sitting with me. She saw the baby in your sig and was like "Awww look at the cute baby!" Thank god she can't read! lol
