Happy Monday???????

Can Monday's ever be happy?

How was the weekend for everyone?
Anything exciting or fun that you are looking forward to this week?

I think I had a good weekend?

No emotional cave-ins or eruptions, so that's good. The cookie swap I went to on Saturday was fun...but hard. My SIL had a bottle of tequila sitting out. Just sitting out all nice as you please. With lime wedges on the side. God, that was hard to ignore.
But my other SIL stepped outside with me for a smoke, and I was okay.

Sunday was really nice. We watched soccer and movies, and I cut up some paper to make Christmas cards. And I wrapped some presents.

This week, I'm looking forward to...well, dinner tonight is going to be really good. Red Curry Chicken

I stayed in bed and snuggled with Sissy a bit longer than usual. I figured I would be late to work but I actually arrived a bit early. Thinking maybe this is a sign that I might have a good day.....wrong.
Yesterday was a total shit show and I walked into so many emails about problems from yesterday that I want to stab my eyeballs.

Weekend was good.
I survived MOA on Friday and was sitting down at Crave for sushi by 7:30.

Saturday was just as I suspected, day drinking that went long into the eve. It was a great time.
Sunday I got up early to run a few errands before it got too crazy and then just did a bunch of stuff around the house.

I am looking forward to dinner tonight with 2 good friends and then Monday night football after that. GO VIKES!!!!

Weekend was good. Date night turned in to a bit of a debacle but turned out okay. Saturday we went out for breakfast and went countertop shopping. Hung out at home Saturday night. Yesterday I went to an ornament exchange brunch and then came home and made bread, sauce and gnocchi from scratch. It was so yummy.

I have a girls night on Wednesday that should be fun!

Only holiday Mondays are happy Mondays

The weekend was good - M and I went out on Friday, Saturday I did in fact run all million of my planned errands, then went out to an ugly sweater party. I stayed out past midnight - can't remember the last time I did that! Yesterday Loki decided we all needed to wake up at 6am, no matter how late we got home. Thanks, asshole! I got some Christmas shopping done once I hauled myself out of bed, then went for a snowy trail ride with Owen.

I'm really looking forward to next weekend - it's our first wedding anniversary, and we're heading back to our ski resort wedding location. Of course, that ski resort has been open since Thanksgiving, yet this weekend it's supposed to be 50* and rainy. So much for spending the weekend on the slopes! I guess as long as I get my remake of our wedding-day lobster bisque, I'm good

This weekend was good but oh man. So fast. My choir had two concerts, both of which went pretty well, but i am exhausted and think i am getting sick. We had four hr people out of work on friday. A combo of that plus fatigue is probably hitting me.

Guys, if you haven't done grocery delivery yet, i urge you to do so as soon as possible. It's now my favorite thing. I have a list going out soon and it will be delivered to my place at 6pm tonight as i get home from work. A timesaver, handy, and i don't spend unnecessary money from picking up junk at the end of the shopping trip. Lol. It's really helped with meal planning!

An ornament exchange sounds fun, bullygirl979!

gault, I've been so tempted to use grocery delivery. Especially with the weather here lately. I'm just so picky about my produce! I don't know if I can let go of the control

I just caught my cats cuddling...and I totally ruined it by trying to take a picture.
I'm still not okay with how Brenna's doing, but H doesn't think it's time yet. I'm just giving her all the love I can right now. She ate half my chicken tender last night! (And kept it down too!)

Happy Monday ladies! I'm actually pretty happy today but really for no other reason than that each day I get a little more time feeling normal than I did the day before. Plus I could tell that I've lost a bunch of weight in the past 6 weeks. My size 6s are too big and I put on a pair of shorts yesterday that I haven't been able to wear in years. So I bought a scale yesterday. I'm down 15 lbs! I know it's not a healthy way to lose weight but I'll take any small victory right now.

I had to go to a two day conference with C's company last week. My 6 presentations all kicked ass. I got lots of compliments. I ended up spending the entire two days with C as I didn't know that many other people. Probably also not healthy but it's over now and I got through it without having any big emotional meltdowns...in public. ;-) One guy at Cs company who I've known for a while asked how things were going between us and I told him what happened (in general, no details). He asked me what C's problem is and I told him he'd have to ask C himself; that it makes no sense to me. So he calls C over (yes, there was wine involved) and in front of a few other people basically tells C that we are perfect for each other and to get his head out of his ass. That was...something...and didn't change anything but the look on C's face was pretty priceless. Afterward he asked me if we could talk and he told me he thinks about me every day and misses me all the time. WTF?!?! So anyway, I told him that I couldn't be in contact with him anymore. It made me feel better in some ways to hear him say that he misses me. Almost like validation. But I can't keep hearing that and using that as a reason to hold on and wait for him to figure his shit out. I can't keep doing that. I have to stop being in contact with him so I can heal. So, that's where I'm at today.


Let's see, this week I'm looking forward to a charity event that I'm going to on Wednesday. I just realized I need to get a child's gift for it. I'm going with my one friend down here and she said there are a few people that will be there that she wants to introduce me to. That should be cool.

Friday was a nice date night with H. 
Saturday was F-in unbelievable. I went to the MLS cup final. My TEAM won!!!!!!! I got to meet some of the players and I am still ridiculously happy about it.  I didn't get home until after 2 am on Sunday. That has not happened in years.
Sunday- ran a few errands and rewatched the game. I now thing I have a cold. My throat hurts, head hurts and I'm practically on top of a space heater at my desk. 



Sorry for the massive pic. I can't figure out how to shrink it.

Hey ladies! How are y’all doing?? My work began blocking gbcn on the the desktop and WiFi so I haven’t been keeping as much!

[tiramisu]

My weekend was great! I had good bonding time with multiple friends and I also had enough hermiting time. It was a great balance.

Work has been really busy, so it's been hard to check in as much. Sorry!

[spindle92]

chalupa, I cannot believe it has already been a year since your gorgeous wedding!

WOW! Congrats! That's coming up so soon! And you can't drop something like that and not share details

Not much new with me...kinda feel same old, same old. Working on the kitchen remodel planning with P. Signing up for another photography class. Went to London in September for a girls trip, which was super fun.

We were going to just elope, but I figured I would regret not having the people I care about who have supported me through the last few years be there. We decided on a winery that we just found on our last mountains trip (when A proposed a few days later). It’s very pretty and has the mountains backdrop. It’s about an hour from a Asheville. It’ll be pretty small and simple - 40 or something people and we’ll do a simple ceremony and have lots of food and drink for everyone afterwards. 😀

Dog love! Congratulations!
