Thirsty Thursday

labro

@eilis1228 Have fun in SF!!!

@Swazzle Love your H's new tattoo. I hope you have an amazing time tonight at the BB premiere!

@peaseblossom55 Sending all the vibes for a good scan today!

@hummingbird125 Your boss is a piece of shit and I hate him. I can't believe he denied your request off!!!! I'm so angry for you!!

@southernpeach89 I'm so glad you're talking to Mom's neighbor! I think you'll get a great deal and some really gorgeous curtains!!!

@KeptInStitches I'm jealous of your formal dress shopping! How formal is formal, like black tie? Are you going floor length?

Favorite beverage (alcoholic or non) at the moment?  Alcoholic - red wine of any sort. Non - lemonade!

Will you be partaking in thirsty Thursday this evening? Nope. I had like 3 beers last night so I should really hold off until the weekend.

What are 3 shows you're really into right now? H and I just finished watching Turn on Netflix. GoT. Outlander

EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS (of all kinds)! None today woohooo!!!

We had our friend over last night and it was so much fun! It was really nice to catch up and hear about what's going on in his life. He and his wife MAY be moving back in to our area. He's been offered a new position that they are seriously considering and I really hope they decide to go for it!! I miss my friends! When he and his wife come back in two weeks we're going to spend a Saturday together and visit a localish brewery.

@eilis1228 thank you!! I like Baby Peaseblossom it's a cute nn.  If it's a he, I'd think he'd disagree though. -)  Have a great time in SF!!!!

Peaseblossom55

@labro thank you!

eilis1228

@jenjen047 Wow, yeah, he should have been more explicit in what he wanted you to read if he asked for a specific Jewish blessing. I know sometimes couples give their readers carte blanche when choosing a reading, but if he wants you to read something specific, he should send you the text he wants. Interesting. Well, that's still very exciting that they've asked. It sounds like you have a fun weekend ahead. Does this mean you will also need to be at the rehearsal now (if you weren't planning on it before)?

@TwoDimes You aren't a terrible person. It's normal to have those thoughts. I have them from time to time too. The new relationship excitement is so amazing and such a high... it's weird to think that I'll never experience that again (knock on wood!). However, we have a lot of new emotional highs to look forward to that we've never experienced... the emotional high of the wedding, of big anniversaries, of new additions to the family, of big milestones as a couple, etc.

@swazzle H's tattoo came out gorgeous! 

@southernpeach89 that is awesome that she is making you custom curtains! Can't wait to see how the nursery comes out!

@hummingbird125 did he give a reason why you couldn't take off?

@cocobellaf but laughing is the best ab workout possible. 

Ridiculous object of the day: My bf bought one of these to kill bugs, mainly spiders.  It has now become a game to hunt all the spiders in the house. 

Favorite beverage (alcoholic or non) at the moment? Peach sangria -- I'm making a batch for Sunday

Will you be partaking in thirsty Thursday this evening? No thirsty Thursday for me, just lots of water while I finish cleaning up the house.

What are 3 shows you're really into right now? PLL, The Mindy Project, OITNB

EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS (of all kinds)! I CAN'T KEEP CALM!!! I MOVE INTO MY HOUSE TOMORROW!!!

@eilis1228 Have fun in SF!

@jenjen047 Super annoying! But your a good cousin for going along with the flow!

@TwoDimes BF and I were joking around last night about that same thing. We went out to eat and he was looking at the menu and couldn't decide what to eat. I made a jab about never being able to commit to something and making the move. He goes "That's not the same! I'm not picking a food I'm going to eat for the rest of my life!" I think it's totally normal to feel that way and it does not make you a horrible person at all!

@Swazzle - I love that tattoo!  The colors are so vivid.

@CocoBellaF - OH HELL NO.  Just NO.  Spiders are the worst.

@peaseblossom55 - Good scan vibes for you!

Favorite beverage (alcoholic or non) at the moment?  Alcoholic...red wine.  I'm especially into 19 Crimes right now.  Non-alcoholic...green tea with jasmine.

Will you be partaking in thirsty Thursday this evening? Nope.  I have a pretty heavy fitness day tomorrow, so I've been trying really hard not to drink during the week because teaching Zumba with even the smallest hangover is the worst thing in the world.

What are 3 shows you're really into right now? Criminal Minds, Star Trek (of all forms, thank you Netflix), GoT (although I don't have HBO so I will have to wait and watch Season 5 when it comes out on DVD)

EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS (of all kinds)! Every few days I have a "OMG I'm actually getting ready to move" freakout.  I had one yesterday, but nothing today so far.  Also I've been having emotional outbursts in support of my BFF.  She's in the midst of a divorce and her soon-to-be-ex-husband is a huge jerk.  So when she doesn't have any energy to rage against him anymore, I pick it up for her.

I've been gone for a few days for no real reason other than that I've been so tired that I'm sleeping at every available moment.  I've been stressed and a little depressed about the move, so I think I'm sleeping a lot more than normal because of it.  I'm having a HUGE problem finding an apartment, so that's my current big move-related stressor.  I'm going to have to start just cold calling places to see if they have availability.

I'm just feeling sort of blah...I want to be excited about the move, but mostly I'm just stressed out.  :-(

Edited: Typo.

@twodimes - no judgement here! I definitely miss flirting, on occasion (I was really good at it!). But I just remind myself that I got to substitute all those crappy nights out at bars trying to meet someone with awesome nights hanging out with my husband. Occasionally I'll try flirting with him and he's like 'what?'

Peaseblossom55

@futuremrshistorian Thanks I hope you find an apartment soon!

 

bethsmiles

@Swazzle - Your H's new tattoo is awesome!

@Humingbird125 - That sucks that your boss denied your request to use a vacation day. I'd be annoyed too. I had to request the July 3 off (because for some reason we are going to be the only fucking bank open that day) and I'm still waiting to hear back from my boss on it. I'm going to be really pissed if it's denied since my branch has to be closed that day (it's in a state building) so they are just having us over staff a different branch.

@futuremrshistorian - *hugs* Moving sucks and really is stressful! Good apartment finding vibes for you!

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

Favorite beverage (alcoholic or non) at the moment?  I'm on a tea kick right now, all the kinds of tea! Iced peach tea is my favorite though.

Will you be partaking in thirsty Thursday this evening? I'm gonna go home and go to bed. I've been exhausted all week and I just want to sleep!

What are 3 shows you're really into right now? Reign is my obsession right now but Netflix only has the first season. I'm really tempted to just buy season 2. GoT but it ended so I have no more to watch. We have all the seasons on DVD though so maybe BF and I will rewatch them during the break. Netflix has last season of PPL on now so maybe I'll catch up on that.

EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS (of all kinds)! My co-worker makes me want to stab things. I was on the phone with a member trying to cross-sell a product and she's literally yelling at me from her desk what she thinks I should say. Guess what? Didn't get the referral because I was so fucking distracted by her yelling.

jenjen047

@twodimes - i think thats totally normal!! new stuff is exciting, and its ok to miss that from time to time!

@eilis1228 - no, we dont have to go to the rehearsal. but again....he didnt tell us that, we had to ask. and thats how we found out that we have to be at the ceremony 2 hours early. it's also calling for 63 and rainy on sunday and they are doing an outdoor ceremony "unless it's totally pouring". they even sent an email telling us to bring our favorite umbrella and keep in mind we will be walking on wet ground when choosing what shoes to wear. my reaction to all of this:

@peaseblossom55 Good luck with your scan today! 

AlPacina

@southernpeach89 - Isn't it refreshing to get rid of so much facebook junk? I've maintained a steady friends list of about 40 for a while now. It's a good number.

@beanbot2002 - You should be proud! Bean sounds awesome!

@CocoBellaF - I used to make my BF leave any time I was watching the Sing Off because he'd just mock them the whole time I was trying to listen to them sing. I feel for your H. haha

@labro - I love the fury you expressed towards hummingbird's boss. I hope I can keep you on my side. I don't think I want you as an enemy.

@speakeasy14 - AHHH!!! You finally get to move in?!? So exciting!

[Deleted User]

@AlPacina Yes, it's very refreshing. People just don't realize sometimes that what they say is hurtful to others. It's like they think they live in their own bubble where everyone else shares the same opinion.

AlPacina

Whoops.... Hadn't meant to submit yet.

Favorite beverage at the moment? I bought a couple boxes of the Starbucks Refreshers Strawberry Lemonade and have been adding it to my water bottle. I'm loving them!

Will you be partaking in thirsty Thursday this evening? Probably not. I don't drink much anymore.

What are 3 shows you're really into right now? (I'm so sad I'm done with Criminal Minds!) I have a few episodes left to catch up on SVU, we're slowly watching OITNB Season 3, and they added an older season of Say Yes To The Dress to Hulu so I've been watching that when I'm by myself.

Emotional Outbursts - I know it isn't fair to outburst on here, but I was too much in shock yesterday to have the outburst/discussion then. BF's brother is getting married, so I posted a comic to his Facebook about all the different stages during wedding planning that you think eloping would be a better idea. BF saw it and said we should just elope. I said we should get engaged and then we can talk about it. He said "We are engaged. We are getting married. Isn't that engaged?" I said yes (I think, at least), and then he changed the subject back to his brother.

...................... So..... I'm engaged? I don't feel engaged. I can't tell if this means I'm not getting proposed to and we're just going to get married eventually. I was too scrambled to talk about it last night. I'll have to bring it up again soon because I'm much more confused about our plans for the next year or two than I ever have been.

Thanks!

bethsmiles

@AlPacina - Definitely  talk with your BF (FI?) about where the two of you stand! Do you want a proposal before considering yourself engaged? If so, I think it's important to be honest with your SO about that. It sounds like the two of you are on different pages which is certainly confusing!

cu97tiger

@alpacina - I wouldn't bring it up 'soon', I'd bring it up as soon as you see him next. A very succinct 'hey, I want to make sure we're on the same page here. Yes, I want to marry you, but I don't really feel like us deciding that makes us engaged. Here's what I need to feel we are engaged:' then tell him whether you're hoping for him to actually say the words 'will you marry me,' whether you would like a ring involved,' etc. And be prepared to talk about what HE needs/wants as well.

eilis1228

@AlPacina I agree with @cu97tiger and @bethsmiles. Definitely talk to him about it to make sure you're on the same page and let him know what needs to happen so that you feel engaged (and vice-versa).

audrewuh

@swazzle - when I move in, I'm going to go to your H's tattoo person because I am in love with their color and line work. 

@eilis1228 - SF IS TOMORROW. I'm going to miss your face. Good luck navigating around Pride!

@alpacina - @cu97tiger said it well. 

Favorite beverage (alcoholic or non) at the moment? 

Alcoholic: wine or beer. Gin and I are friends off at the moment. Non alcoholic: arnold palmers

Will you be partaking in thirsty Thursday this evening? 

YES! I need a little hair of the dog, but it's also chorus night and I haven't been to afterglow in a really long time. I miss my friends. 

What are 3 shows you're really into right now?

True Blood, Grace and Frankie, and that's about it.

EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS (of all kinds)!

I'm a walking, talking emotional outburst. I drank too much last night and shared feelings with H when I should have just held my tongue and waited until I was more emotionally stable and more sober. But alas. That happened. 

Swazzle

I just realized there are so many non-drinkers on NEY nowadays.

@Swazzle I was thinking the same thing!!! 

Cheers! 

speakeasy14

@bethsmiles - Hulu has the rest of Reign -- I love that show, and keep waiting for new episodes.

@jenjen047 What!?! Yeah, I'd have the same reaction.

@alpacina We're not completely finished with construction, but it is enough that we can move in. It will be bare minimum for now, but enough that people have a place to sit for the surprise party on Sunday.  After that then we'll really move things in. -- Also, um yeah I would bring that up because I'm confused if you're engaged, especially since he quickly changed the subject.

If you're okay with it, I'll just be over here like:

Peaseblossom55

@alpacina I would definitely have a talk with him, make sure you are on the same page

@swazzle you need to drink for me though :-)

jenjen047

@alpacina - agree with @eilis1228 @cu97itger and @bethsmiles. talk to BF. and ASAP.

also sidenote: i think someone one here (i want to say @aurorarose41 or @dignity100 but i could be totally off base) said their BF felt engaged when they shopped for a ring together, whereas she didnt feel engaged until the proposal.

bethsmiles

@speakeasy14 - Do you have to have Huluplus? If not this is the best news ever! I've watched season 1 three times already plus watched every interview with the cast I could find on YouTube. I need season 2!

ETA: I realize this post makes me sound like a crazy person.

minskat30

@Swazzle - Love the tattoo!  

@soutnerpeach89 - Yeah for cute curtains!

@Hummingbird125 - WTF!  Why did he deny it?  

@Peaseblossom55 - So exciting!

@cu97tiger - Have fun with CSchiano!

@beanbot2002 - Yeah Bean!

@KeptInStitches - I'm sorry for your BFF.  

@eilis1228 - Have fun in San Fran!!!  I love that city.

@jenjen047 - That is irritating of your friend.

@labro - So fun when friends visit like that!  I hope they move back!

@TwoDimes - I don't think that makes you 

@speakeasy14 - Love the bug zapper!

@futuremrshistorian - I'm sorry you are feeling so blah.  Hugs.

@bethsmiles - Your co-worker sounds really irritating

@caseface5 - Love So You Think You Can Dance!

@AlPacina - I think you should bring it up right away.  I like the approach @cu97tiger mentioned.  

Sorry if I missed anyone...I'm still half asleep.

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

Good morning/afternoon!  I'm dragging a bit.  H and I went to that summer festival last night and had a blast (and lots of alcohol).  We seriously had a wonderful time...we decided to go before the main concert event and rode this sky glider thing (its like a bucket for a ferris wheel that runs above ground a few stories up and runs the length of the park)...we got on JUST as the fireworks started so we had an awesome view!  

Favorite beverage (alcoholic or non) at the moment? 

White wine usually.

Will you be partaking in thirsty Thursday this evening? 

I don't think so after last night.  LOL

What are 3 shows you're really into right now?

Bachelorette even though its drama filled, House hunters and the cooking channel (though the last two are always on in our house)

EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS (of all kinds)!

I got nothing...yesterday was so fun!

speakeasy14

@swazzle I changed my mind no water tonight, I will be participating in TT-- there are now margarita freeze pops at the liquor store, I think I'll be drunk cleaning the house tonight.
