I'm watching bar review lectures and Knotting during the boring/ repetitive parts.  FBIL and FSIL gave me the sweetest snack basket for bar studying, and I am DEMOLISHING this artichoke and tomato bruschetta they sent me.  Nom nom.

It's dreary today, but I'm out on the apartment balcony with the furbabies, so at least I'm getting some fresh air.  Later tonight, we're having dinner with an OOT friend and her new bf, so I'm excited about that.

What's everyone else up to?

Your day is more interesting than mine. I finish work soon then will go to Pilates before vegging on the couch for the night...

Not much going on here. I'm nursing a headache from the wine and food event FI and I went to last night so it's making work unbearable. Other than that, I got nothin. FI is going to run for a couple of hours after work so I'll probably just veg around the house and wait for him to get back so we can watch more of OITNB.

He's going to run for a couple of HOURS?  Like, he just runs half marathons for the hell of it???  I'm impressed.

And I can't wait until I get some time to watch Season 2 of OITNB.  My sister had it on last night and I made her turn it off because I was studying.  I know I'm evil, but I was gonna get sucked in.

I ordered my invites today! Yes, while I'm at work. These fuckers are driving me crazy today. My productivity has plummeted to "Fuck ya'll" level.

Got woken up by a caller from a State Inspector this morning at 6am. Immediately thought, "OH MY FUCKING GOD I THOUGHT HE SAID HE WANTED TO BE PICKED UP AT 7!!!!!"

Luckily he was just cancelling. I did enjoy that my dog made a Pterodactyl noise DIRECTLY into the phone while I was talking to him, and then later when I spoke to his supervisor, my cat started meowing. My animals like phone calls.

Other than that, things are pretty quiet, our guys are freed up for the day because there are no inspections.

I am figuring out dollar amounts for wedding stuff. I think we're going to be able to get our venue for right around $2000ish. Which isn't bad considering that includes chair rental, security deposit, 6 hours for rehearsal/setup, 9 hours for day-of stuff, AND the event insurance. FI was pretty stoked.

I think that's good considering a lot of the banquet halls in the area ask for a $1000-$2000 DEPOSIT depending on room size.

I also got a little ahead of myself and started doing draping sketches on top of pictures of the interior of the venue lol. Gotta plan my DIY shit.

My fiance and I finished OITNB last night! So ridiculously addictive. So, I'm not sure what we will do tonight. Hopefully I can convince myself to get my butt to the gym, but since it is so rainy out that may be hard.

JCbride2015

@birdybride2014 I love your siggy.  So, so much.

I am not feeling well at all today!! I had a really rough night last night. I thought I was nauseated from drinking on a too-empty stomach, but um ... nope, it's a different problem and it's keeping me from getting to work because I can't leave until I'm sure I won't need to use the bathroom on the train.

Also ahhhhh bar review. Three of my friends are currently doing that as well I've learned not to ask how studying is going. You're done at the end of July, yes?

I just ordered escort cards from Vistaprint. They're really just fancy business cards but we're gluing them to the favors so they're perfect. They're on sale for today only (they have a deal of the day thing going this week) and I had to argue with customer service to get them to honor the special for me. I ordered our invitations last week and am planning on getting things like programs and thank you notes as they go on sale.

We adopted our dog last week and were told that he might have a fussy stomach for the first few days. FI's been watching his stools and has decided that he's heading to the vet tonight. Yuck.

I'm super-excited about my lunch. This weekend I made a huge salad of Israeli couscous, quinoa, and some random leftover spelt noodles and added tons of roasted veggies, chickpeas, feta, kalamata olives, and a bit of homemade vinaigrette. It's amazing and I'm going to be eating it all week. I also have a few chocolate chip cookies left from my goodie bag from my BM's kid's 2nd birthday party on Sunday.

Oh yeah, he will probably run 15+ miles tonight, just because. The kid is nuts. He'll get up and do a P90x workout in the morning and run 10 or more miles in the evening. He's run 3 full marathons and it's nothing for him to go run long distances. I'll stick with my 5 to 7 mile runs, thank you very much lol.

And you're not evil at all for making her turn it off! I would've done the same thing. I have zero self-control when it comes to tv binging and I wouldn't want to get sucked in when I know I should be doing something else (like studying!)

There was a water main break outside of work so I have a random day off.

JCbride2015

@phira and @shrekspeare I take the bar from July 29-31.  Both NY and NJ.  Bar prep is basically horrible.  I have a really good memory and did well in law school, but fuck, this is hard.  Lots of memorization of pieces of law that I will not use in practice. :-/

Oh my god, I wish I had drive like your FI. I am basically built like hedonismbot from Futurama, just short of being bolted to the couch. Also, with brie instead of grapes.

Hahaha @beethery I'm the same way, except I want brie AND grapes.  And better make that brie baked in crescent dough, please.

@JCbride2015 Yikes! I know that one friend is just taking the NY bar and studying is unbelievably intense. She forwarded me an email her bar prep prof wrote to friends and family of people studying for the bar, which was helpful for me to get what she needed from me during prep. It's astounding.

cupcait927

@beethery and @JCBride2015 - tonight while he's running, I will sitting on the couch with a beer in hand and probably Kraft mac & cheese for dinner. I feel no shame.

I hope it's nothing serious. Our dog was so, so sick when we first got her. We spent over $1,500 within the first three months and she was on antibiotics from the beginning of October to the end of January. She's smaller than what she was supposed to be, but she's doing well now.

Work is slow today. I have my hair trial tonight so I'm currently obsessively pinning hairstyles I may want to go with. I'm also online win do shopping for wedding shoes. I have some in mind that actually don't exist so I'm trying to find something I can settle for.

I want to just leave work now and go to the gym since I'll miss my workout for my hair appointment tonight. Bad planning on my part.

gladyscf

Work is being a pain in my ass but my rainbow is a pedi after work. So I'm basically of the mind that work can just suck it today.

Oh! I bought FI a gas/charcoal grill combo this weekend and he assembled it last night. He's making burgers on it tonight to christen it in. Can't wait!

birdybride2014

JCbride2015 THANKS! I was inspired by all the others

Also, anyone who is bored this evening- there is a show on USA called Playing House. It is HILARIOUS. Plus, there have only been about 4 episodes or so, I think, so it is easy to catch up on! You'll thank me later, I promise!

chibiyui

I went to my first spin class last night, and my ass is sore from seat chaffing.

I also bought and ate a slice of cake right before it.

Work is slow, and I close, so I forsee lots of knotting and sketching today.

Thanks! The shelter gives us a 30 days of free vet treatments so hopefully that will take care of it. He seems happy and healthy but the output is what we were told to watch for. My fingers are tightly crossed!

I had strep and bronchitis last week. Missed 3 days of work and was basically useless for 5 days. Had a bad asthma attack during that time and had to go get a steroid shot to stop it. On tons of meds. Even so...

Boss called me in early today. This is after I worked with him yesterday and he watched me cough up half a lung into the office trash can. I had a lung x-ray yesterday to try to find out why I can't kick the cough. Am I in shape for an extra long shift today?  No.  Did he ask me anyway?  Yes. WTF.

I second Playing House!  I am already in love with that show.  Also we finished OITNB on Sunday and we're re-binge-watching both seasons this weekend.  

This morning I decided what I'm giving my MOH for her bridal shower in a few weeks so I went out and bought some gifts for her.  I have a few Etsy orders that I'm waiting for buyers to respond to messages about so that I can finish and send them.  Other than that, I'm just counting down the time until FI is off work so we can eat, workout, and then swim in the pool/ tan.

Also, I'm paying off the last $500 of my wedding dress today!

Senecaf

I need to find time for OITN. I only got through 3 episodes this weekend!

ElcaB

Ew I feel so blah today. 

I also had some chips during lunch, so screw it; I'm going to make and eat dessert tonight and start over tomorrow. 

loveislouder

I'm trying on dresses for the first time tonight!

ohannabelle

I should be working on Adorable Daughter's dress. Instead, I am practicing creative avoidance, because I am soooooo nervous about cutting her excellent lace. 

Instead, I went thrift storing, and scored a perfect petticoat for 4 bucks- yay! and am industriously looking for cookie recipes on the internet. I really want cookies. 

A fine Tuesday.

My day has been somewhat interesting. I got called into my CVP's office because there will be a re-org in my department. I will now be reporting to one of the CVPs that interviewed me (she is awesome), along with a current team member, and another lady from another team. I think this will be better for me, as they both hold senior titles (promotion soon maybe?), and my CVP said she feels I should be doing more because I have the potential. So I will now be doing different things, which is exciting.

I took a nice lunch break with my 2 coworkers  - one is getting married on Saturday so today was our last lunch with her as a bachelorette. After work, we are going to go to Happy Hour for FI's bday (which is tomorrow, we took the day off), so I am pretty much just waiting for the day to end at this point. 

Can your cats go out on the balcony with you? I'm too paranoid to let mine go out. I just don't know if they would know better? I mean I guess a cat wouldn't just jump off a balcony, right? One of my kitties is really clumsy though, so I wouldn't trust him out there lol.

JCbride2015

Woo hoo some Tuesday good news-- we are off the waiting list for a storage unit at our apartment!  I have never been this excited about a 5x9 closet in my life.  July 1 can't come fast enough!
