~ I went all SO on my friend the other day and told her she really needed to get into counseling for her trust issues in all her relationships. She basically ignored me. I've decided my response to her every time she brings up these trust issues is going to be "counseling".
~ It's been nice that one of my co workers has been on vacation this week. He's a nice guy, but doesn't know what he's doing in this job and won't do anything without asking me first (I'm not his boss and have been doing the job less than he has). I was losing all patience with him so hopefully this week apart will be good!
~ I don't cook. But was asked to enter chili in the United Way Chili Cook off at work tomorrow. I plan on just following the directions on the back of the seasoning package. Also, I guess in Texas they don't beans in their chili. My chili will have beans. They'll automatically know it's the Kansas girl's chili.
Doris - maybe I missed an update, but how did the interview at the prison go?
Planned Parenthood could be a fun job, and I could see you being good in a setting like that.
I don't think I posted an update, to be honest! It went well, I think! You are given the 4 questions 15 minutes prior to the interview, so you write down your answers/notes and then they ask you the 4 questions and you're done. I feel good about my answers, so we'll see. I should know in the next week or two.

~I need a pair of cowboy boots for a dance routine, but I don't actually like cowboy boots. I'm debating between spending a decent amount on something that looks kinda sorta close (like www.6pm.com/product/8078029/color/401) that I actually like or just finding the cheapest pair of more realistic-looking cowboy boots possible.

Do you have a Ragstock near you? Ours always has tons of cheap cowboy boots!
This might be more appropriate for tomorrow but.....
I am totally seeing my FWB tonight....i dont want $ex from him (bc I got lots from D) but I just like hanging out with him occasionally. But I will probably have $ex with him anyways....we will see...
Oooo....and I might have a date for tomorrow night or this weekend....
BUT even thou all the above sounds good, I am still a little sad....i REALLY thought D was the guy I would be spending all my time with....stupid lost dreams/plans
I told J I'd do dinner tonight, and that I was going to make tilapia. But I'm exhausted and want to take a nap before the O's game, so I think I'm just going to pick up pizza instead.
I've cooked twice at his house. The first time, I burned the potatoes. The second time, I burned the pigs in a blanket. He is obviously not keeping me around for my culinary skills, lol.
went car shopping last night, on the short list was the Mazda CX-5 since it comes in a manual transmission...on the way there we find out the only manual sold that day. must wait until they get new ones in now.
went on to Honda, even though CRV does not come in manual transmission but supposed to have great engine. It looks like it has an Alien Head butt...and yes i told the sales person that.
looked at Subaru, fugly. looked at Rav4, fugly.
i really just want to keep my jeep, but it gets maybe 10 miles per gallon (lifted and 33" tires) randomly decides it wants to swerve to the left or right, and the passenger seat belt sort of works...so DH has deemed it a death trap and won't let me drive it on the highway or over 40 mph....at least i can take it to get groceries. but it looks so cool and i love it...but stupid XH did the work on the lift, and he did a shitty job (and that's putting it nicely) and we need a car that gets good gas mileage.
the mazda would pay for itself in what it saves us a month in gas especially if we trade the jeep in.
and the geniouses in our aquisition office can't figure out if DoD can send money to DoE because no one knows if we can use the 2011 interagency memo, they seem to think we need a new one each year, even though the old one clearly states "this will remain in effect until modified or terminated by either party"

I have wicked bad cramps and all I want to do is go home, sleep and.or eat everything in sight. Chicago fire was some good eye candy last night...I honestly didnt even care about the plot....
Im stupidly starting to worry about how J and I are going to make this relationship work this winter. Between his two jobs, my DD, and the distance I dont know how we are going to find time to see each other. This makes me sad I know I need to relax and see what happens but Im an overanalyzer and a worrier.

The only meal I can cook from scratch is meatloaf. It's a cilantro-chipotle meatloaf and it is delicious, but it takes an hour to bake and a good 30 minutes to prepare, so I RARELY do it.
I can also make killer cake balls and pumpkin pie, but I can be a perfectionist with baking and it has taken me a LONG time to perfect them.

I am wearing navy sailor-esque pants today and they make me happy.
I am loving this IUD. I have barely cramped and barely bled since the first day, AND I feel my sex drive coming back. Slowly, but I have actually felt the drive, which is more than I did on the Nuva Ring.
The new intern starts work today...I don't know how I feel about this.

~ I took my car in yesterday to get the oil changed and have the tires rotated. One of the tires was missing two lug nuts. Those things don't just fall off, so obviously someone stole them. Who would do that?! I read this stupid blog about a stalker yesterday, so now I'm irrationally thinking that someon'es out to get me. LOL
~ I am constantly day dreaming about buying a house and being on my own again. It's only been a couple of months that I've been at my parents, and I'm greatful DD and I can stay there so I can get on my feet, but this is difficult. I need my own space.
~ I'm ready for lunch. Work is boring. After lunch I'll be looking forward to going home.

All this talk of food is making me hungry.
My back hurts like a bitch today but I was all "No, really I can work today" so I am taking 1/4 of the meds that I should be taking. I regret saying I would work from home today. My boss told me that maybe I should take tomorrow off so I can be good and drugged. I think I will take her up on her offer.

Where can this recipe be found. I must have it.
For the meatloaf? It's a cookbook my mom gave me, I can look and see the name when I get home.

Nope...I'm not one of the mid-west gals. Thanks for the tip, though!

That would be good in a small amount in chili. Also I sometimes add a little cinnamon to mine. It adds to it and makes it smell great.
