Finally Friday!!!

[cuddlyevil]

What's up this weekend ladies?

Today I'm off early so I can get DD fed before her retreat. Then I am going to go see a band play tonight.

I don't have to work tomorrow!! *twirls* I will be seeing Thor with some friends.

Hope today is awesome.

TGIF! I'm anxious about my race and will be relieved when it's over Sunday morning. The forecast looks warm. Something seems so wrong about 80 degrees for a November race. Boo! I'll leave tomorrow early afternoon to pick up my race bib and tshirt, grab dinner and race Sunday morning. A and I will head back and spend the rest of the day/evening with his parents.

Finally! The corgi is seemingly unfazed by his brush with raccoon teeth. His swollen face is looking almost normal again, woot!

I'm so over work right now. 4pm needs to hurry up and get here so I can shut down my laptop.

Tomorrow I have a wedding dress fitting (squee!) and a board game night.

No plans for Sunday

[doglove]

Yay! Send snaps chalupa!

doglove your race will be fabulous. You will do an awesome job and it will be the best one yet
. I saw your post about this being your last but it won't be, it's an addiction! I think one of the hardest parts of your training is the weather, you have similar weather to me and it drains you to train for anything the majority of the year. Good luck tomorrow!

Thank you! I try to keep thinking that I trained in the humidity so I can take warmer temps and hopefully I'll be fine. I know I definitely say THIS IS THE LAST ONE every time.

Good luck with the race doglove. I'm sure you'll rock it!

I have nothing at all planned for the weekend and I'm SO happy about it because last weekend was completely over planned. Well, let me revise that. Tonight I do plan to order food and watch a movie on the couch. If you can call that a "plan" ;-)

I just found out my niece is pregnant. I'm happy for her because I know she wants this but also worried because she's really not at a place in her life where she should be having a baby. She's due late May and graduates college early May. She doesn't have a professional job and I don't see how she can start one with a newborn. She also has a thyroid condition that makes her VERY tired. Throw in a baby and geez. Anyway, I'm just worried about what sort of life she's setting herself up for. She's been with the guy for almost a year and the members of my family who have met him say he's great but then again, they aren't exactly the best judges of character.

Hope everything turns out okay for her kaneen.

My weekend is going to be spent on getting everything together for my restitution request. I am not making any plans other than a manicure on Saturday and a baby shower I already agreed to attend on Sunday. I might also get a foot reflexology massage, but I'm really trying to keep the weekend low key so that I can focus on getting the paperwork done without feeling stressed. I also need to work on my victim impact statement.

[tiramisu]

doglove good luck at your race! I'm sure you'll do awesome!

kaneen I hope it all works out for her.

So glad today is Friday. I’m counting down the hours to tomorrow night midnight simply because that means open enrollment has started. Fingers crossed that all the set up work gets done correctly and in time.

Once I survive finalizing open enrollment I’m hoping to do a whole lot of nothing on Sunday. I wanted to clean out the garage, but I’m not sure it’s going to happen.

I can't believe I haven't shared this with you ladies yet. So I signed up for this new online dating site. I haven't done online dating in years so I didn't know what to expect. It's basically been a dud. A few guys have contacted me. Two of them were 15 years younger than me...so no. One asked if we could meet for a drink and I responded asking when he'd like to and then nothing. The last is a NUT JOB. Here's the exact word for word interaction I had with him before I blocked him:

Him: Why do people look at my profile but not message me?! <-- this was literally his FIRST message to me. Nothing prior.
Me: Well, I certainly can't speak for everyone but for myself I tend to prefer a man who is willing to make the first move.
Him: Well i've done that and I don't get man responses
Me: Don't know what to tell you in that case
Him: Am I really that ugly??
Me: Whoa
Him: I don't understand why NO ONE is showing interest in me
Him: How's it even possible??
Me: Seriously, if this is your reaction you should probably not do online dating. I'm sure you are a great guy but this is likely not for you.
Him: I've been on this dating app for over a month with barely any messages. And I'm supposed to just be ok with it??? Explain...
Him: I mean seriously. Then you come along and poke fun at it and criticize me? In all seriousness. What the hell is wrong with you people? How did people get so rude and so lacking in empathy. Scary!!!
Him: I've written to several people. Almost 0 respond rate. For a whole month. I mean does anyone deserve this??
Him: I'm seriously asking. How am I supposed to react?!


....and BLOCKED

[cuddlyevil]

kaneen WTF is up with that guy?

[turtle1120]

doglove Good luck!

kaneen Blocking was definitely the right choice with that nutter!

Tonight I'm going out to dinner with my family, and then to a high school musical performance - one of my cousins is in the pit orchestra.

The only thing I've got going on for the rest of the weekend is starting to pack for the move. Super fun! LOL

[doglove]

Wow wtf kaneen?

[chalupa]

eeeeks kaneen. Good thing dating sites have the block button.

[tiramisu]

Yikes kaneen!! Glad there was a block feature.

[kaneen]

There are so many things wrong with that guy's messages. I mean first, he STARTS a conversation asking why no one responds to him??? Dude. at least say "hi" first. Then he goes off on me and really, for what? I guess I should just have not interacted with him at all. But at least now you guys had a good story to read!

[doglove]

I wonder if the dudes that are really messed up probably use those kinds of lines to find the "fixers/saviors" kaneen. It's a weird way to screen someone - someone THEY want would immediately respond, why on earth would anyone respond like that! I would love to get to know you.

There’s a study in human psychology in there for sure!
