Tuesday!

[Deleted User]

Hello friends! It's not Monday anymore yay! I felt like yesterday dragged forever...maybe it was because it was my first day back from a week off but I just felt like it never ended.

Yesterday after work I went to CrossFit and I decided to work on my handstand push ups since I haven't worked on those since prior to my pregnancy and oh boy lol. I definitely need to work on those more. They weren't terrible but my shoulder strength has definitely decreased.

Afterwards DH and I cooked up some leftover pork butt and sweet potatoes and watched Sunday's episode of GoT. Arya Stark is a badass!

Today I'm working from home so I'm doing laundry and I need to vacuum the entire house. Tonight is bible study so I'm baking mini corn dogs. I want to go to CrossFit but I don't think I'll have much time between getting off work and picking up Callie. I might try to fit in some Insanity at lunch time.

What are your Tuesday plans?

@southernpeach89 There used to be a time I could do handstand pushups! Now if I did one, I would end up rearranging my face on the floor! 

It's my Birthday!! I'm working, which sucks, but it's a payroll day so I have to.

Last night my parents came over and we grilled. They also brought me cake and ice cream and it was sooo good. They left pretty late but BF and I got in the first and half of the second episodes of GOT season 5. We're moving right along! We should hopefully be caught up by the time the next season begins. I hope anyways!

Not sure if BF has anything planned for tonight. I just hope today goes by fast!

@southernpeach89 I don't even know where I would begin if I tried to do a handstand push up. Major props! GoT was AWESOME on Sunday.

@LizzyTish88 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!



Not much going on over here today! Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

@LizzyTish88  Haha I used to be so good at handstands and we would do shoulder touches but now I'm like blahhhhhh I have a long way to go.

@PamBeesly524 GoT was SO GOOD. I loved yesterday's episode!

labro

@LizzyTish88 Happy freaking birthday!!! I hope it's a good one!

@southernpeach89 You can bring those leftover mini corn dogs here anytime!

I woke up early (for me) today and actually felt ready to be awake! So I hopped out of bed, changed, and took the dog for a few laps around our very very hilly neighborhood. Then I watered all the outdoor plants and now I'm sitting here drinking coffee and getting myself mentally ready for the work day.

H decided to drive MY car to work today so if I want to go anywhere that means driving around in our monster truck...which means I'm probably home all day. We don't have any special plans tonight. I'm really really hoping it rains today because it's been so so hot. We really need it.

@labro Where is your H's car? Why can't he drive that to work?

labro

@southernpeach89 He parked the truck in a way so it was blocking his car in. We had all those super heavy landscaping stones in the back so he had to get it onto the most level part of the driveway.

PamBeesly524

yikes, where is everyone today?

Hello! I took yesterday off work because my sinuses were killing me and I really just needed a mental health day. 

I caught up on a lot of sleep this weekend which was glorious! I skipped Belmont on Saturday and went to my goddaughter's 3rd birthday party. It was SO freaking far, I spent 5 hours driving there and back and was only at the actual party for about 2 hours. OY! Sunday, I went to a show at the beach with H and his friends and it was a lot of fun! Yesterday, I slept in and then spent the whole day reading 'End of Watch' (Bill Hodges #3) by Stephen King. H and I watched 1 episode of GOT when he got home from work and that's literally all I did all day long. 

Tonight I have a work event near my office but hopefully it only lasts an hour or so. If H comes to get me, I might suggest stopping at our favorite restaurant nearby because it's been a while since I've had buffalo fries! 

Ahh I almost forgot! I'm a blondie again

@southernpeach89 - Handstand pushups? Damn girl. 

@LizzyTish88 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@labro - Can you come water my plants? In my laziness yesterday, I completely forgot to do that

Good morning! I am in a great mood because I got an extra 30 minutes of sleep this morning, picked up Starbucks, and am wearing new shoes!



Last night H and I went for a walk around the neighborhood, then had leftover shredded beef tacos for dinner. We also booked our place for Portland, which is an adorable guest house owned by local artists through airbnb. I've actually never used airbnb before but H has and this place was just so cool and way cheaper than the crappy hotels that were available. So I'm excited!
My boss is back in the office today and hopefully I'll hear more about how the new boss wants things. I just feel like I'm in a weird place of limbo and need answers on how my job is going to change. Kind of scary but I'm just staying positive. As long as I have a job, that's all that matters.
Tonight H and I will probably go to the gym since I talked him out of it last night. I also need to get a gift for my dad for Father's Day!

@southernpeach89 - You are so committed to working out. I love it! I definitely need to get in that mindset.
@LizzyTish88 -

@labro - Ugh, it's hot here too. We went for a walk in the neighborhood last night and only ended up doing one lap because we couldn't stand it. We have some new patio furniture I'm dying to use but not till after the sun goes down at least!
@swazzle - LOVE IT!

PamBeesly524

@Swazzle Love the hair!

@beachyone15 Cute shoes!

labro

@Swazzle YAY! Blonde for life!!! I missed you yesterday!

@beachyone15 Ugh I feel you! It wasn't too bad so early in the morning but it was so muggy and the moment I stepped inside I immediately felt like I was dripping sweat. So many vibes today! I really hope you get some resolution regarding your job and that it's a solution you're happy with!

speakeasy14

@lizzytish88 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Hope you do lots and lots of fun things all week long.

@beachyone15 cute shoes!

@southernpeach89 WTG on handstand pushups, even if your shoulders aren't as strong! I can barely do a regular handstand.

@swazzle love your hair! You have an awesome hair stylist!

So last night's dinner went horribly wrong.  I think the meat was rancid.  The whole kitchen stank, so I ended up calling my bf and asking him to pick something up for dinner.  What sucks is that it was a family pack of pork chops that I had to throw away.  He got a rotisserie chicken and I made ranch potatoes and string beans.

Tonight we're going to my mom's for dinner.  She invited all of my siblings since it is rare we're all together.  So it'll be a fun night.

@LizzyTish88 happy birthday!!!!

beachyone15

@speakeasy14 - Thank goodness you didn't eat it!!

LizzyTish88

@Swazzle Hey pretty lady!! Love the blonde on you!

@beachyone15 Those shoes are so cute!!

@speakeasy14 Ew, no one likes bad meat Sucks you had to throw it all out though.

500days

@beachyone15 I love your shoes! Very cute.
@LizzyTish88 Happy Birthday!
I didn't realize there's quite a few GoT viewers here... I am caught up but I feel like I need to rewatch the last season next week because I've been half paying attention the last few episodes.

Only 3 more wake ups until this year is done for me!!! Yesterday was very boring, and I anticipate the same for today. The kids have just been playing kahoots (a trivia game), drawing, listening to music and cleaning. The day moves so much faster when we are actually working. 

Tonight I plan on making tacos and rice for dinner. Possibly watching some ondemand tv. Nothing crazy. I really truly can't wait for this week to be over so I can start some summer plans/day trips/FUN.

AlPacina

@southernpeach89 – WTG on handstand pushups!! My shoulder strength is exactly where I’m lacking. And grip strength. Are there any moves in particular that you really love to build up your shoulder strength?

@LizzyTish88 – Happy happy birthday lady face!

@labro – That sounds like a great start to your day! I love waking up and actually feeling awake.

@swazzle – You look so summery! Gorgeous. And jealous of the convertible!

@beachyone15 – I’m so glad you were able to find an Airbnb! I was trying to help find a rental for a bachelorette party I have coming up and everyone wanted you to stay for minimum 4-5 days, which I found ridonkalous.

@speakeasy14 – That suuuuuucks about your dinner! But tonight sounds nice! I doubt I’ll ever have all my siblings together in one place again.

@500days – Almost there!!! It’s the home stretch til summer!

-------------------------------

Good morning lovelies!

I watched all of the Tony Awards performances on YouTube last night, and omg, there are some incredible ones. School of Rock the musical looks super cute!

I am actually getting to work from home for a change. My new supervisor became official yesterday, so I took advantage of that and immediately asked him to approve me staying home today. WINNING!

The biggest news I have is that a couple of minutes ago my dog jumped onto the couch and immediately laid down as low as he could get and gave me big old sad dog eyes, so I'm letting him stay. Shhhh, don't tell my BF. Although I'm sure the hair will give me away, haha

MissKittyDanger

@southernpeach89  jeez you are in amazing shape lady!

@LizzyTish88  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@labro where did this energy come from and how do I get it!?

@Swazzle  mental health days are always good is it allergies for you? I know my sinus' have been bad with allergies lately

@beachyone15 cute shoes!

@speakeasy14 that's awful! I hate tossing meat because it's so pricey here.


Not much last night. Our football team won, but it was just an expedition game.
I swear packing is going to make me strong! I kept saying I wanted the boxes in the spare room moved to the living room so I could clean the carpet in there soon - or multiple times if needed. So I pulled the table over a bit and carried all the boxes - which are filled with books mostly - into the living room corner. It also gave me a chance to label where the boxes will go. Now only boxes in the spare room are ones that have fragile things.

We still need to go through the locker and take the table apart, and I think we'll likely do that either tonight or tomorrow. I may try to get Matt to take apart the table tonight since a few things in the locker are likely going to my mum's place this weekend.

@LizzyTish88  - Happy birthday!
@swazzle - Love the hairs. I'm getting ready to do that myself.
@500days - I'm so jealous of your summer! I wish I only had two more days of work

Nothing interesting happened last night. Taco nachos and Candy Crush, basically.

Tonight I'm meeting with my mentee to go for a walk. Then I'm swinging by Wegmans because apparently they have a card group that meets once a month. I'm going to scope it out to see what games they are playing and what the average age is. Then I'll do some quick grocery shopping and should be home by 8p.

@Swazzle Love your hair! It looks beautiful!

@beachyone15 Love those shoes! I always feel super happy and positive whenever I'm wearing something new. I love how a new piece of clothing can do that.

@speakeasy14 UGH that sucks about the meat!! Your re-do dinner sounds delicious though!

@500days Yay for almost being done!! The end is near!

jenna8984

@lizzytish88 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

@swazzle oooh buffalo fries! Glad you had a relaxing day yesterday- nice hair!

@labro I don't drive H's big truck either!

@beachyone15 very cute shoes and yay for the Portland booking, sounds nice!

@speakeasy14 yay have fun with your family tonight

This woman at work- I can't stand when she touches me/my belly. I try to avoid her but sometimes we run into each other in the cafeteria or something. She just grabbed my stomach and basically started shaking it saying "are you awake?!". I backed away and was like don't do that. But I kind of said it in a laughing way so I wouldn't look like a giant bitch. H wants me to be more serious with her and tell her that it's not acceptable and she can't touch me. But in the beginning when I was small, I stupidly let her so now I feel like that ship has sailed and it's harder to go back and say no....ugh drawing that line is so hard. Why do people have to be inappropriate?!

labro

@jenna8984 Omg noooooooooooo! Shaking your belly? Not cool!!

AlPacina

@jenna8984 - That is so hard! I hate being touched by non-friends as it is! It really is worth it to let her know you're serious the next time though. I've had to have the conversation with someone multiple times because I didn't want to hurt their feelings, but it wasn't until I got serious that anything changed. You could be helping future pregnant women! Do it for the good of the world!

And seriously, it's awkward, but it could be easier to just approach her now, in private, rather than wait for another awkward encounter when you could potentially be around others and finally flip out on her, haha. Talk about yourself and how it makes you feel so that it doesn't feel like you're putting it all on her being wrong.

@LizzyTish88


@southernpeach89 Handstand push ups? You are a haus. OMG. This is you:


@labro What a peaceful morning! Sounds like the perfect way to prepare for the day. I hope the rest of your day is a great as your morning!

@swazzle You are gorgeous! Love the blonde hairs! I'm glad you took a mental health day yesterday-- you are very deserving!

@beachyone15 CUTE shoes!!!! Love! Also, that's so exciting about Portland! I love that city.

@speakeasy14 Oh no!!!!!! That is the worst! That happened to us once with a family pack of chicken, and I almost cried.  

@500days Summer is so close!!! Do you have any fun plans for summer?

@AlPacina Hooray for WFH! I hope you can make it a weekly thing. 

@cu97tiger Oh that sounds fun! I hope it's a good group!

@jenna8984 WTF at your coworker?! That is so inappropriate! Wow.

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have my phone interview at noon. I'm on the fence about the job. I applied for it on a whim, and after we scheduled the interview I looked up information on Glassdoor. I think the salary will be a lot less than what I make now, so we'll see. They have quarterly bonuses, so that could possibly end up being a raise, but I'll worry about all that if they bring me in for an in-person interview.

Last night Zoey got sick, so we spent all night hovering over her and worrying. No idea what happened, but this morning she was back to her normal self. Hopefully she's ok! I don't like not being at home to monitor her today.

Last night I also went to the gym for the first time in a few weeks. I really need to stay consistent with gym time because I always feel so good afterwards. I plan to go again tonight, and hopefully every night this week... but we shall see.

@AlPacina I love doing pull ups and any bar work, that seems to help build in that area...as well as push presses.

labro

@TwoDimes Omg I  NEED that sandwich.

jenna8984

@alpacina good advice, very true

@twodimes I also stalk out menus days in advance!!! MMM

AlPacina

TwoDimes said:

I'm DROOLING over this sandwich on their menu. It's called "Butter My Brisket" and has brisket, smoked onions, bbq sauce, and cheese sauce on Texas toast. I.CAN'T.WAIT.

@TwoDimes - Well, now the rest of us are drooling too!

@eilis1228 - Oh man, I highly doubt I'll get to work from home more often than once every month or two. The big wig manager hates people teleworking. No idea why.

@southernpeach89 - Nice! Alright. For now I'll just keep up with the bar work that I do. Meaning I hold on tight and kind of flail around while I try to move upwards even the tiniest bit.

MissKittyDanger

@jenna8984  I think it would be awkward even if you knew the person well. I definitely agree with the others and you H about saying something more seriously. As @AlPacina said in private would be so much better. Could she just really not know that's not okay to do to someone?

@TwoDimes  omg that sandwich! I'm not even normally a huge fan of those toppings but that looks great!
