Yahoo. This week is almost over!

What's going on today? What randoms do you want to share? Weekend plans?

Hey!

Work is crazy and sucking the life out of me, blah blah blah. I tried to take this coming Monday off as a mental health day, but then I got roped into an early meeting I can't escape, so mental health half day it is.

That super cute 1-shoulder dress I ordered for upcoming weddings? I've lost enough weight that the dress was swimming on me (yay!), reordered it a size smaller, and now it's snug enough that you can see the outline of my strapless bra underneath (boo!). But it's so stinking cute that I may just deal with it being snugger across my ribcage/back. I'll just have to stand extra-straight in photos, haha.

Also, my underwear is now too big on me, LOL.

My Lowes/kitchen floor debacle is reaching closure - it's been so long that I insisted that I get to use a contractor of my own choosing, rather than waiting for the deadbeat plumbing subcontractor to send someone to replace my floor. Lowe's agreed, so now I need estimates and will pre-pay and get reimbursed by lowes. I feel much better about being able to choose the person doing the work. Of course, I want to have tile put down instead of similar laminate, so I'm sure I'm going to have to get estimates for both and tell lowe's I'll pay the difference or something.

I'm over here doing my "it's finally Friday" dance! It's been a busy week and I don't feel like I've had much down time.

I'm going on a lunch date today, with a guy my friend set me up with. We shall see. Then taking DS to get a hair cut and probably laying low at home. Tomorrow I'm going to Avenue Q (again) with friends and then going out for drinks. I think we will probably grab dinner at some point. Sunday is my normal "prep for the week" stuff...laundry, groceries, meal prep. Then DS has a sports clinic thing at school, which I thought was lame, but I just found out they have a really amazing speaker coming, so I'm bringing a friend with!

chalupa, that is awesome you are getting your kitchen work done! And nice job on the weight loss! Would a different strapless bra help?

doriswe, let me know how the lunch date goes!

Ehhh, there are only so many strapless that actually work for me (32FF or 34F presents its own gravity challenges). I've tried on a couple and the ones that don't show through also don't help me out any in the front. Of course, MAYBE I'll lose a couple more pounds in the next 3 weeks and it'll fit fine? The problem with big boobs is they don't ever seem to shrink any when I lose weight. SaveSaveSaveSave

We may be signing a retainer for a kitchen designer (because chalupa has been working on her kitchen and we are twinsies. So of course I have to work on mine ). We aren't doing the remodel until next year but they tend to be booked out so I'm okay with this. I did make them amend the contract to state our retainer would be refunded if we don't like their budget or final design.

I'm dropping my dress off to be altered today (SQUEE!). I am *still* looking for hair and make-up though. The photographer wanted to do "getting ready" pictures but either 1) the person doesn't want to come to my house for just me or 2) they can't do my schedule. I think I'm going to tell the photographer that it just won't work. Besides...I don't think I'm going to frame or showcase pictures of me getting ready...

Everything I wanted to do this weekend was outside, and now they are predicting rain all weekend so no idea what I'm going to do. I'm kinda bummed as there is a huge bike race that's super cool and a festival that I wanted to go to. Whomp Whomp.

Dang. I'm jealous. My C's went to a B and with the additional weight I've lost I'm now about an A. Guess we found one area we aren't twinsies. Ha.

I've been dreaming of a reduction. I don't qualify to be covered by insurance, so I'd have to pay out of pocket. Maybe when I run out of house projects that need to be funded? I have absolutely zero use for a large chest - it just makes clothes and riding more difficult. SaveSave

That's how I feel about my butt and hips. Like one piece dresses, unless they have a tie or a waistband, look ridiculous on me because I'm small up top and in my waist.

I'm so glad it's Friday!

Tonight I'm going to watch another movie on the outdoor area of a hotel, Coming to America this time. Tomorrow morning I'm getting the MRI of my foot! 8am check in time, though. So since I'll be up ridiculously early, I scheduled the earliest manicure I could get with my lady. In between I think I'll have breakfast. Tomorrow will be a day for errands, I think. Sunday I'm getting another massage, going to book club, and might also go to a select a seat event for the minor-league hockey team we have in town. I'm considering getting season tickets.

Oh, my hips perfectly match my bust size. Anything without a defined waist looks like a tent on me. Fit and flare dresses for lyfe! SaveSave

Me too! I have to get everything tailored.

These weeks are seriously dragging.

I have one conference call with a potential client this afternoon, but the rest of my work day is meeting-free. Finally!

Tonight I’m running errands with my mom, tomorrow family is coming over for who knows how many hours (and I’m watching the royal wedding in the morning), and Sunday is getting ready for next week.

I need a day away from everyone and it’s not scheduled for anytime soon. I might just run away if I can’t take a day off soon.

[udscoobychick]

Hooray for Friday! I'm WFH. I'm so burned out from working long hours the past couple weeks, but I'm still really far behind. So I'll work all day today. Tomorrow, we're going to a distillery with a friend, seeing the new Deadpool movie, and then going to a CW's housewarming party. Sunday, DH is doing his gliding thing, so I'm going wine tasting with a friend and then teaching. It will be a busy but fun weekend!

[bullygirl979]

udscoobychick, whaaaat? The new Deadpool is out??

[kaneen]

Hey all! Happy Friday!

This week has been rather boring so I've nothing to share with the class. This weekend should be fun though. I get the pup this weekend so I'm looking to lots of snuggles. I'll pick him up from daycare this evening and just snuggle on the couch. Daycare wears his ass out. A tired puppy is a good puppy! Tomorrow morning he and I will go on a long walk assuming it isn't raining. Then we are going to meet and friend and her dog for lunch at a dog friendly patio place. After lunch we plan to take them to the dog park to play. I'm DVRing the royal wedding so we can come back to my place and watch it after the park.

Sunday will just be laundry, errands, random shit.

[udscoobychick]

bullygirl979, yes! I think the first showings were last night. A friend of mine who's a real film buff has already seen it and says he liked it even more than the first!

[udscoobychick]

I have nothing to add to the hips vs. boobs discussion, as I have neither lol.
