I am loving the weather today! Congrats on the job!

I decided to put off more school for awhile, which made my anxiety levels drop like crazy! I bought an amazing cute suit yesterday for my honeymoon to aruba!!! I am ready to be married.

@lolo0403 do you have any names picked out yet? I haven't been on banter in forever

My brain is so foggy today. I just pictured you in Aruba wearing this: 

That is exactly what I meant.

Actually, I got

This top in blue

And this bottom in ginger

@larrygaga, I love those style tops right now. I have a hot pink crop top like that and I love it (although I pretty much only wear it at music festivals, because hot pink crop top.) As a bikini I'd get way more wear out of it...so good call.

This weather is amazing. I forgot what the sun looked like. Then I burned my retinas because I forgot you can't look directly at the sun.

   I am going to Sesame street live with my nephew and niece, this week.  I am going to make a couple of winter recipes this week, and MAYBE hit the damn gym!  Hell, it's been too long.

@larrygaga I'm really offended that you got my name wrong.

We haven't really talked much about names. H still calls baby The Sequel. We mostly joke about how the dogs will react, and whether the baby will use Willy's leg as a teething toy the way the big dog does.

I call my dad's current wife The Trilogy. lol.

Congrats on the job offer. 

I got pre-sale tickets for opening weekend O's and Closing weekend O's today! And one of my good friends will be coming down to see the October game!

Congrats on the offer, Lolo!

Life is pretty decent--the weather is getting warmer, I just bought new shoes (2 pairs, technically, which means I have to throw 2 pairs away, but I can do it). FI just got home from a week away, so I am happy he's back!

I love this thinking because I throw out about 5 pairs the winter and have not gotten any new ones. Credit Cards beware!

OMG you made me realize how cute it will be with a skirt. I like them because they fit like a sports bra and cover more than a regular bikini top!

We're putting in an offer on a house! Need some good Knottie mojo for this to be the Best Week Ever.

It's walking distance to Panera!

Woohoo!  Sounds perfect already!

It's supposed to be in the 50s next weekend in Lancaster, so I won't freeze to death!

Currently in the low 80s in Tallahassee. Ah, FL weather (eye roll).

JC, your sig reminds me- I had a dream over the weekend involving Her Honor getting dragged away by alligators before beating the shit out of them and coming back onto a sidewalk before walking along with a mai tai like nothing happened.

I have weird dreams

@lolo883 - yay!! All the good vibes! Besides the panera, is it in an area you like? If I lived near a panera I would eat cinnamon crunch bagels for breakfast every day and be the size of a house.

@southernbelle0915 yep! It's walking distance from a 10-rated elementary school, in a really nice, quiet neighborhood with lots of mature trees and well-kept houses. I haven't checked on the radius of check-cashing places.

That is VERY important information and should be the deciding factor. Please report back.

1.3 miles from Advance America. I think I'm safe from kidnapping.

We booked our flights to Orlando last night, so we're going on a honeymoon!  Woo woo!!  (We're not coming home yet, because those weren't on sale, but at least we're going!!).

Tonight's my last night shift, so I get three days off starting tomorrow, and then I actually work three day shifts (my first day shifts since February 10), so I actually get to make/have supper with J for several nights in a row!  AND we're going to go see Chappie tomorrow.

It was 4 degrees today.  Which was glorious.  But I had to shovel all the snow away from the house so that our basement doesn't flood, which was less glorious.  However, I get to pull out my seeds and start planning my flowerbeds.

My partner and I are super productive tonight (not), and we're both major useless information buffs, so we're googling.  Did you guys know that a devil's advocate is an actual position when they're deciding whether someone gets to be a saint or not?  The devil's advocate takes the opposing point of view for the sake of debate.  I mean, I knew that's what it meant, but I didn't know it was an actual position.

4 degrees C is approximately 40 degrees F for those that don't know.

That's a lazy Sunday morning for Justice Ginsburg.

Do any of you just dwell on all the negative things that happen and can't let it go?
I just woke from a dead sleep and have not been able to stop thinking about all the things that went badly from my wedding, planning and execution.  I'm so embarrassed about some of the things that happened.  Ugh.  Is it Friday yet?

Bought a $50 dress for my fancy work dinner, and it is long-sleeved, high-necked, navy blue with exposed gold zipper, but bodycon snug so I don't look like my mother. I tried on twelve in the store I bought it in and hated them all, and then found it sitting all by itself on the end of the returns rack in the fitting rooms when I was leaving in disgust. It was the right size, actually looked right, and so cheap too. It was a good day.

I do this a lot & I hate it. I'll be exhausted and ready for bed, then my head will just start spinning with all the stupid things I did that day, it's the worst.

ON A GOOD NOTE: I'm going to see one of my favorite bands in concert tonight. Hoping to meet them, I made them brownies!

Good luck, @lolo883! It sounds like the perfect place to raise a family.

Being within walking distance of Panera doesn't hurt either

Oh. So I discovered last night that our house internet plan has a limit on it. 

And we went over it. 

By 200 GB. 

WHAT EVEN. How. 

Good news is that it's not an overage charge like it is on cell data (THANK GOODNESS can you imagine what going over a data plan by that much would be?!). Bad news is that it's a 3 strikes, you're out thing. 

Also bad news is that for some reason it stressed FI out so badly that he completely turned off all his internet except his cell data.

I am in a great mood today! 

It was 40 degrees this morning. My jeans are no longer feeling tight. My cold is completely gone. and I get to go shopping tonight for a cute dress for Friday! 

flutteringinfl

Last night I started watching Orange is the New Black again, and I can't remember why I stopped watching the show in the first place. I was over halfway through season one and now I really can't wait to get home and keep watching it. I'm secretly happy that FI is volunteering tonight, because it means I get extra watch time.

Also last night we had dinner at Pollo Tropical. Have y'all ever eaten there? It's incredible. I could eat there every day. It's basically like Boston Market, but with a Caribbean theme and BETTER.

Today it is 75 and FI and are going on a date tonight!

I ordered this adorable spring dress online last week and it was supposed to arrive Friday.

Just got a notification that its 'out for delivery' YAY. Its snowing and cold and blecky outside, I'm pretty excited to get a cute spring dress delivered to work!

I'm going to see my BFF's foster kittens tonight. Their eyes just opened and they're wobbling around drunkenly on their little legs and they are SO TEENY. I'm way too excited. She's a foster for a local cat rescue and has six of them and their mom living in her home gym (because they're too young to be vaccinated, they have to be quarantined from her own cat) until they're old enough to be adopted.
