I miss watching Frasier!  I can't sleep either, FI left for work early again- poor guy is stressed out and overworked =(

ETA: I sucked at sleeping last night and was watching Disney suite life..... oi!

I slept pretty good until H came into bed and I couldn't fall back asleep. So I just got up and went to work early.

I slept pretty good until my 11yo stepson came into our room at 4:30am in full freak out mode because he couldn't find his cell phone in his bedroom.  :-(  I resorted to playing minesweeper until I was tired enough to go back to sleep...

oh my god that's almost as bad as my 4 yr old RUNNING into my bedroom every morning at 5:30 to tell me he has to go potty (which he is fully capable of doing by himself).

Woo hoo Thursday! I have my first dress fitting today! Omg, can it just be 4pm already?

Is school out for summer vacation yet? If not I'd be like WHO THE SHIT ARE YOU COMMUNICATING WITH AT 4:30????? Either situation should've gone something like this:

Buh. I'm off to a sister store today to work an open to close. When I agreed to this, it was an 8 hour shift, not a fucking open to close. 

Bastards. 

Frasier and Venture Bros. are awesome.

Even though its summer and I have nothing planned, I still wake up early. I'm not sure what to do today, I did all my errands yesterday. I'll go to the gym and contuine to read scary articles about how I may never get a job and no can ever afford to buy houses ha.

@beethery - I love that!  I may have to share it with DH.  Yesterday was their last day in school so this was the first day of summer vacation.  As for DH and I, it wasn't as bad as it could have been DH has to get up for work at 5:15 anyway and I generally wake up with him so we only lost out on 45 minutes of sleep but it certainly wasn't our preferred method of being woken up.  I don't even want to imagine the outcome If this had happened on a weekend morning...

You are so nice. I probably would have went into freak out mode right back at him. Sounds like a you problem kid. It could wait till everyone was up. I need my sleep!

I had hoped my Thursday would have started a bit later, but that is what naps are for!

Today I need to get some blood drawn and a WBC booster injection! Yippee! Lol

slothiegal

Bluh.  Coming down with what I think is the flu, and of course it happens the week I've agreed to start working the early shift in the office.

The bright side is, no one else is in this early, so I can blast my jams and get some sexy desk dancing on.

I was about 15 minutes down the road when FI called me to let me know that his son left his glasses in my car last night. He was home and awake for 2 hours after we got home and is supposed to be wearing his glasses at all times. He's in summer school so I had to head home, adding an extra 40 minutes to my trip (traffic).

On top of that, I went into work early because my coworker scheduled an early appointment but is always late. My boss and I decided that it was better for me to come in early to take care of things, just in case. We were right. I also managed to set off the security alarm at the same time. I had planned to have some nice quiet time in the office but the glasses debacle killed that hope.

Highlight of my morning: a super-jumbo diet coke from the McDonald's drive through. Proud of myself for not ordering food but I got my caffeine fix in the best way possible. Plus, fountain diet coke is the best!

I think McDonald's puts crack in their fountain pop to get/keep us hooked.

@wandajune6 fountain diet coke is THE best! Now I think I need to pop out on lunch and get one.

My Thursday has been okay so far. Got 9 glorious hours of sleep last night so I'm feeling pretty good this morning. My work day should be a little lighter than yesterday and tonight I'm trying something new for dinner - spaghetti squash! Never tried it before but FI kept saying that he wanted to try it. Found a recipe on Pinterest so we'll see how this goes.

Inkdancer

I'm waiting for someone to come measure the house for new carpet. I hope he doesn't mind the mountains of laundry everywhere.

Also, I love my toaster. It's a 4-slice, which means I can put those enormous italian loaf slices in and get heavenly toast for breakfast. Yummmm.

Oooh please update and tell us how it is!  FI and I just started the keto diet, and the Italian in me has been craving a plate of pasta like none other.  A nice substitute would be to die for...

@slothiegirl - I like spaghetti squash but we all love use zucchini as noodles. There are a ton of recipes on Pinterest that are pretty good but it's a nice substitute for us. I also love the tofu shiratake noodles though my boys aren't quite as big of fans.

birdybride2014

@beethery I have a WHOLE carrot cake in my fridge right now that I have been taking single bites out of all week- the FI laughs at me every time saying I should just take a whole piece- um no, then the calories count

@cupcait927 I made my first spaghetti squash the other day!! I don't think I did it right though because it seemed very watery and wet. My sister said that I didn't bake it long enough...I'll need to try to do it again!

cupcait927

@birdybride2014 thanks for the heads up! My biggest worry is that it'll be runny and gross. I'll definitely make sure to bake it long enough so dinner doesn't end up a soggy mess!

cupcait927

@slothiegal FI has been doing this Whole30 diet and reallllly trying to cut out as much grain as possible. If I can get this to come out right, I think he'll be very excited and I'll definitely share the recipe!

slothiegal

@wandajune6  Oooh zucchini sounds yummy too.  I might have to look into that...

beachyone15

@beethery I LOVE frasier! I like watching the re-runs before I go to bed because I find it soothing.

I'm dead on my feet this morning after yoga and Zumba this week. Thank God today is my break day from the gym.

Happy Thursday, all!

Apparently a pigeon family has decided to take nest right next to our chimney sweep. I got to listen to their fucking annoying as all hell adorable cooing from 2am on. Needless to say, I am a little tired this morning.

Originally, my plans for today consisted of kettlebell class & then FI & I were having friends over for dinner. 

Unfortunately, I am now cancelling all plans to fill in for two rude, inconsiderate bitches who were supposed to volunteer at a charity event tonight. They emailed me at 10 p.m. last night to let me know that "due to a work conflict, they can no longer make it." Um, how about YOU SUCK? I understand shit happens, but you could have let me know more than 20 hours in advance that you weren't going to fulfill your commitment. The charity event is sold out and people were counting on them to help. 

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Got to the sister store. Was told they were under renovation, but floor sellable. Floor is not sellable.

Not a happy chibiyui. I need a god damn soda.

JCbride2015

Morning everybody!  I'm taking some quiet time in the house right now to process everything that's been going on, and try to catch up on some bar studying.  I'm a full day behind because of family stuff, so I'm trying to watch two days' worth of videos today.  And write an essay.  And do a bunch of multiple-choice questions.  Maybe I'm being a little ambitious.

I'm going to Pilates at 1:00.  Gonna bake something for FILs, and fold laundry so Fi doesn't have to do it.  Then tonight it's back to FILs' house to be with the family.

I think I need to brew a LARGE pot of coffee.

theartistformerlyknownas

FI is leaving for a guys' trip to Atlantic City super early in the morning tomorrow. I had hoped to get some sexytimes in tonight... but he invited all of said guys to stay at our house to make things easier. Sorry boys, hope you brought earplugs. I'm doing a boudoir shoot as a surprise for him while he's gone, and BONUS it's free from a photog trying to build her portfolio.

I love spaghetti squash! I haven't tried this trick with it yet, but when I do eggplant noodles I sprinkle them with salt first to draw out the moisture before I cook them. Blot up the salt and water with paper towels. I imagine it would work the same way with SS! I registered for a spiralizer so I can make zoodles out of zucchini too!

AND SPEAKING OF REGISTRIES... word on the street is the invitations to my showers are being delivered yesterday and today! Yay! I got one yesterday from FSIL, but my sister forgot to invite me to the one she's hosting. Haha.

ANDPLUSALSO... I got the sweetest email from FI's great aunts, asking for the hotel block info cuz they couldn't figure out the wedding website, and telling me how excited they are to come in for "the September celebration of yours and dear Jake's wedding. This is such a wonderful, joyous time for the families." AAAAAAAAAAAND my friend from Texas, who just got married AND is in the military so I didn't know if she'd be able to come in for my wedding, told me she just booked her and her H's plane tickets! YAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!

TL/DR it's a happy day.

Goodmorrow ladies! I'm eating breakfast (apples and nutella yummm) and about to go to class because I'm a sadist who took biology 101 in the summer. Then FMIL and I are taking my niece to the pool. (: My neice of course meaning Fi's neice. 

But she's mine.
