Titillating Tuesday

cu97tiger

Hey ladies! Happy Tuesday. It's foggy as all get-out here... 100% humidity but luckily it's not too hot, so I didn't completely melt coming in to work. There is literally nothing new on my plate these days, so I'm in a bit of a rut. The only thing that keeps me energized is Crossfit... I'm really loving that and loving the muscles that are trying to peek out.

What's got you energized these days?

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

1. The birth of my niece keeps me feeling excited and energized. Being on the Best Fucking Vacation Ever might help too.
2.I'm on it now!!! We're currently at Seneca Lake drinking ALL the wine.
3. We have sandwiches. Definitely going to eat them lakeside, preferably in a kayak.

You guys - IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! 28 on the 28th!

jenjen047

Morning! I was away Friday and busy at work yesterday so I missed all the fun. I'll read the threads at some point.

I feel you @cu97tiger. I am in a rut too, at least at work. Outside of work things are great but I dread every day of going to work. I'm trying not to look for new jobs because I've only been here for 4 months and I told myself I would wait until after the wedding, but it's tempting.

What's got me energized? Wedding plans and the fact that my sister is returning to America on August 8 after brig in Africa since early June!!! I miss her so much!

Summer vacation? We are going to Vermont for 2-3 days with my parents in a couple weeks but that's it for vacation plans.

Lunch? Chipotle. I can't kick the habit.

I'm in a shitty (literally) mood today. I haven't been feeling well at all since last night and I'm at work. Dinner plans for tomorrow night became really inconvenient for me as of this morning which sucks because I had been really looking forward to it. So I'm annoyed and I feel like shit and I'm cranky. 

I had a great weekend with awesome people but I don't have the energy to write it all out today so I'll let them handle it. 

Rawr.

What's got you energized these days?

At this specific moment, nothing. 

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

H and I leave for South Africa one month from yesterday so we'll be arriving in Cape Town one month from today! While we're there, we're eating at the 28th best restaurant in the world, cage diving with Great Whites again, possibly doing a Great White breaching trip, hopefully doing a whale watching trip, going to Robben Island, and going on another safari. 

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

I'm a little nervous to eat anything right now but I'd really like to go to the Turkish place by my office. I always get a chicken kabob with their amazing rice and a romaine salad with feta and vinaigrette.

HAPPY GOLDEN BIRTHDAY @labro !!!!!!!

HAPPY WEDDING WEEK @TwoDimes !!!!!!!!

Now I am energized!!

cu97tiger

Happy birthday, @labro!! And I hope you are enjoying the hell out of this week, @twodimes!

I'm sorry you feel so crappy, @swazzle. (See what I did there?). I hope you feel better asap!

What's got you energized these days?

Crossfit. I think I saw a hint of ab muscles this morning. What?!

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

Savannah and Hilton Head. We leave in 19 days!

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

This place called Gogi Bop. It's basically a Korean Chipotle. I love it because they have kielbasa. YUM.

Swazzle

@TwoDimes - HAPPY WEDDING WEEK!!!!

@Labro - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I miss you already

jenna8984

What's got you energized these days?

Shopping for/ picking out new stuff for the new house! We still have another month til we close but we found awesome couches we want and I bought a group-on for 6 canvas prints that I'm going to get landscape photos from some of our trips.

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

Nowhere. Will be too broke once we close on the house, so we're doing a staycation in mid Sept. So jealous of @swazzle 's trip.   

 

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

The sushi special across the street. 2 rolls and a side salad for $9. But IRL I'll be eating my leftover pork chop & zuccini.

 

@labro HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Have a fabulous trip!

@jenjen047 Yay sister time, that'll be fun!

@swazzle hope you feel better

@cu97tiger I'm so happy that you're enjoying CrossFit! It really is a great workout! 

@labro HAPPY GOLDEN BIRTHDAY TO MY AMAZING SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you and miss you! I can't wait until you come home!

@TwoDimes I can't believe this week is here!!! Only 4 more days!!!

@Swazzle I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well. I hope you start to feel better soon! Less than a month until South Africa!!

We got the unedited photos of our maternity shoot back yesterday. We picked out our favorites and she is going to edit those this week and then send us them in a file. I can't wait to show y'all. Some of them I wasn't a complete fan of because I was a hot mess and sticky and icky towards the end of the shoot but we liked a good amount of them.

Tonight we are visiting a home day care to consider for Callie. It's significantly cheaper than the one we originally signed up for so hopefully this one blows us out of the water.

What's got you energized these days?

Definitely moving around and CrossFit. If I sit on my butt all day (like I would like to) then I would sleep. I've been super tired but I need to keep my energy levels up so I don't become a blob.

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

We took our summer vacation in June to the beach in Florida. No more vacations probably until Labor Day weekend. We may take a short trip to the lake but that's it. After that we won't have any thing planned.

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

I'm having leftover white enchiladas yummmmmm!!!!! If I had to go somewhere though it would be this little cafe called Never Enough Thyme, they have the best food ever!

Peaseblossom55

@labro Happy Birthday!

I am tired and just in a bad mood,  I really don't want to study anymore.  It's so hard staying motivated.  I'm just trying to think only 5 more weeks and they will go by fast.  I'm trying to focus on some of the smaller things I have to look forward to coming up. 

What's got you energized these days?

Not much really

 

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

No Summer vacation.  I need one too. My family is ging down to Wildwood next week and I can't go because of work.  It sucks.

 

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

My office is in the middle of nowhere but if there is no time limit, I'd go to Witherspoon Grill, a local place, and they make awesome risotto.  It's usually seasonal with some good vegetable.  I haven't been there in awhile. 

minskat30

Morning gals!  I'm still feeling off today.  I'm in the office but my goodness, I had dreams and night sweats all night...woke up drenched.  I don't have a fever though so I'm chalking this up to my body fighting off a cold.

@labro - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

@TwoDimes - Wedding week!!!!  So excited for you!

What's got you energized these days?

Coffee?  Not to much going on these days. 

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

H and I still haven't decided on this yet.  I have a feeling we are just going to let the summer pass us by without a vacation, which isn't a bad thing savings-wise I guess. 

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

There is this great salad place $12 a salad for a huge salad with unlimited toppings...its so good guys (chicken, goat cheese, beets, carrots, pea pods, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, mandarin oranges.....yum).

untouchablets

What's got you energized these days?
Going to the gym!! I've only been at it for like a month but I finally figured out my calorie needs (yay math!) and I've lost three pounds so far so I'm feeling awesome!

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?
Nope and nowhere. I acrue vacation hours so I'm saving them up for Thanksgiving even though I already have plenty, in case of emergency I want to make sure I'm covered. I'm having a good time around here though

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?
I'm gonna be ordering sushi from my favorite place! Spicy Kani roll and a spicy tuna and a miso soup. Yummy!

Today I am working at my friend's dog grooming shop! This is the place that wanted to hire me full time but I didn't feel good about saying yes. I love it here, I just like being around dogs all day lol.

Later I have to go to a dogsitting client's house to learn how to feed their cuttlefish? They're going away for a week starting Friday so I have to learn. I love sea critters but cuttlefish are just bizarre.

Other than all that not much happening!

@labro happy birthday!!!!

@cu97tiger and @jenjen047 add me to the work rut club. I was actually kinda bummed out about it but a customer made me feel better and reminded me to not give up on school and told me he took a huge pay cut when he graduated because he quit his job as a waiter to go into his field. It was a good reminder for me. Hope you guys work it out soon

@Swazzle feel better!!!

@TwoDimes woo soon you'll be married!!!!!!!

Edit because of boobs and @labro

[Deleted User]

Happy birthday @LaBro!

Happy wedding week, @TwoDimes!!

What's got you energized these days?  Nada.  It's too hot to be energized, I'm just slugging through the days.

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?  No summer vacay for us.  

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?  Home for a nap!

Our A/C was acting funky all night, and even threw the power a couple times.  They can't come look at it until Thursday.  Hopefully it continues to work, or we'll have to evacuate the dogs to my parents' during the day so they don't overheat.  It's 100 degrees all week.  YUCK.  And Cricket had a rough night, so we ended up putting her in the crate to sleep.  Obviously she wasn't too pleased with that so she left me some stinky poopy gifts while I was in the shower this morning.  Can I start over??

jenna8984

@untouchablets Woooo 3 lbs great job!

500days

@labro Happy birthday lady!!!! Drink all the wine!

What's got you energized these days?

Making plans for August- before I have to go back to work and it gets cold. I definitely want to go to a sox game, beach days, and maybe a day trip or weekend trip if we are lucky. I'm also excited to be getting a new-to-me car in the next 2 weeks!

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

I guess our honeymoon was our summer vacation. We always go to Maine every summer, but we were so busy planning Alaska that we never booked a cabin and they are way too expensive now

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

Probably an asian or indian hole in the wall. So much food for so little money!

Lmfao whoops!!!

Good Morning NEYers I'm in A Mood (tm) today, so I thought I'd mosey over for some distraction from this board so thanks all

What's getting you energized? Today, not much, but for this season at work, I'm pumped because I'm doing WAY better in my sales numbers than I have previous years at this time. Yay for not failing! 

Summer Vacation? Nope, none for me. My next vacation is Disney in November and I'm looking forward to that like the light at the end of a tunnel....

Going out to lunch; where? Ooo...I like the Korean idea. Bulgogi and rice is a comfort food, but so is curry lately...I'm torn! But now I'm convinced I have to go out for dinner ;D

bethsmiles

@labro - Happy birthday!!

@jenjen047 - I dread going to work every day too. It never hurts to look for a new job if the one you're at makes you miserable. You don't have to be aggressively applying to jobs but maybe there's some out there that would be worth applying to now.

@TwoDimes - AH! 4 days!!

@Swazzle - I'm so excited for you to AW your South Africa trip! 

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

A job was posted internally at my company today. I'm considering applying for it. It would at least get me off the fucking front line trying to do sales (I hate sales and I'm not good at it). It would also be closer to what I went to school for. I'm a little hesitant to apply though, I guess I don't want my supervisor to kick the application back to me and say there's no way I'd get it.

What's got you energized these days? I'm really determined to lose weight for the wedding so that's got me pretty motivated to work out.

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going? Camping is our summer vacations. We'll probably get in one or two more trips this summer.

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go? There's a Mediterranean place close to work that is super good! I love their hummus.

So I had to share this: I just went to my local weather channel's website to check the forecast for my wedding day (August 1). Apparently there is no August 1st, but there IS a July 32nd ... ha!

 

@twodimes Oh you didn't know you were getting married on a leap day?

lavenderfields13

@Labro HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@jenna8984 I love the idea of decorating with canvases of photos from your trips!

@Southernpeach89 Can't wait to see photos and I hope you guys like the daycare. I really admire you for pushing yourself to work out and stay healthy. I can't even get myself to workout lately and I don't have a growing baby inside me stealing all my energy!

@untouchablets Congrats on the weight loss!

@TwoDimes July 32nd that is hilarious

_____________

What's got you energized these days?

Nothing honestly

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

Our HM was our vacation and it's over!

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

I'd probably get a spinach and ricotta pizza from Bertucci's (regional Italian chain restaurant) 

lavenderfields13

@bethsmiles I think you should apply for the internal position- you've got nothing to lose! I used to work at a bank too and while I have great customer service skills I cannot make a sale! 

eilis1228

@labro HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

@TwoDimes EEK! FOUR DAYS!!! I love the 7/32, and I also love that the day of your wedding has beautiful weather and the day after has crappy weather.  

Like @Swazzle, my stomach and I are not getting along. I don't think it's food poisoning because FI and @audrewuh seem to be fine, but who knows. My stomach can be so sensitive sometimes... anywho, I was up until 1am because I couldn't really sleep after @audrewuh left at 11. We got a ton done on my quilt, and I should be able to finish it either tonight or tomorrow. I finally fell asleep at 1am, and then at 3am my stomach woke me up. I was up until 4 with stomach issues, so I'm super cranky and tired today. Also, on my way to work, the major road I take was down to one lane. My normal 20 minute commute took 45 minutes. Ugh.

What's got you energized these days? Wedding prep! I can't believe we're in double digits now! I'm really excited about a lot of WR things coming up.

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going? No money or PTO for a proper summer vacation due to our HM in November. We're taking a weekend trip to south Texas soon to stay with our friends at their family cabin and to print our wedding invitations. We're also going to Beaumont, TX at the end of August for a quick weekend trip for FMIL's graduation.

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go? Ugh, I don't want to think about food. Our normal haunts near the office are a Turkish place with the BEST saksuka and doner kebabs, an Asian place with really good teriyaki chicken, a Thai place where everything is delicious and beautifully plated, or an inexpensive Mediterranean buffet where the owner's mom makes everything from scratch. 

bethsmiles

@eilis1228 - I'm sorry you're feeling sick, especially if it's food poisoning - that's the worst!

@lavenderfields13 - I keep telling myself I have nothing to lose, I mean if I don't get it everything just stays the same.

[Deleted User]

@lavenderfields13 You're so sweet. I try really hard to keep myself motivated and it's so hard lol.

MissKittyDanger

Busy busy busy!

Tonight I was suppose to do movie with my mum and D, but my mum was worried lack of sleep and me. Every time I go for a period of time without much sleep, I get sick. I GET MARRIED IN 4 DAYS I CANNOT GET SICK!!!

So we're just going to Starbucks and probably Winners {they're basically beside each other}

At least it gives me time to run a vacuum through my place and throw laundry in. Since getting my shellac nails on Sunday, I've been avoiding doing any dishes. Hahaha!

@TwoDimes HAHA!!! I now want to tell people I actually am getting married on July 32nd XD

Side note: weather here says 25*C, with humidex of 30*C {40% chance of showers - fuck off with that!} But it's better than weather up until the day, heat wave!

What's got you energized these days?

Coffee. It's a busy week!

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going?

I'm not taking vacation. I've had a few days off in the last few months and it feels excessive. I'd rather roll over to next year when we go on our honeymoon in February.

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go?

Uhhhh .... Mucho burrito, with a quick stop at McD's for iced coffee.

jenjen047

@jenna8984 - sushi and salad sounds amazing.

@swazzle - feel better!!

@southernpeach89 - baby squash! and @peaseblossom55 - baby onion! 

@untouchablts - yay 3 lbs!!

@twodimes - at least youll have a unique anniversary, on the 32nd of July!

@bethsmiles - go for the job! you never know! also im with you about being motivated to work out/eat healthy. i got the on the scale today for the first time in like 2 weeks and ive maintained, which is good because my diet has been less than stellar, but i re-commited yesterday. i want to by 10 lbs less by my fittings in november. totally do-able. 

@lavenderfields13 - LOVE THE SIGGY PIC!!!

@eilis1228  - sorry you arent feeling well either but YAY FOR DOUBLE DIGITS!!!!

bethsmiles

@jenjen047 - It's hard to stay motivated to lose weight! I want to lose almost 50 lbs total but I'm trying to focus on small goals. 10 lbs by the end of September is my goal right now.

Peaseblossom55

@jenjen047 yay baby onion, I just can't deal with onions right now.  I look forward to the next fruit or vegetable.

AlPacina

@labro - Happy happy birthday!

@swazzle - I'm so sorry you're feeling literally shitty. Turkish sounds like a terrible idea with an upset tummy. Just my personal opinion, haha.

@cu97tiger - Gogi Bop sounds great! I remember in South Korea they'd serve sausage slices with breakfast. I had such a terrible time trying to grab the pieces with my tiny chopsticks, until someone showed me that it's acceptable to just stab them. Lesson learned.

@bethsmiles - Honest opinion? Fuck that place. I don't see why a different job at the same shit bank will be any better.

@eilis1228 - Oooo, I wanna see a picture of the quilt when you're done! Also, every time you talk about Beaumont I think it's the town from Footloose and you won't be allowed to dance.

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

What's got you energized these days? My house, obviously! We haven't spent any money on it yet, but hopefully we'll start finding some stuff we like soon.

Anyone that hasn't taken their summer vacation yet? Where are you going? It's official! As of last night we booked a week-long cruise to Alaska in September!!! OMFG, I'M SO EXCITED! In our 2.5 year relationship we've only taken two long weekend trips. Never a vacation. I'm so insanely stoked. It's booked and done...... In August we're also doing another long weekend to meet my family for whale watching up near the Canadian border, so we're going to spend 3 days in Vancouver and/or Victoria. I really need a break, and BF might go crazy if he doesn't get one soon.

You have to go out to lunch today... where do you go? Jimmy John's sounds great today.

MissKittyDanger

@AlPacina idk what I love more about your post. Unicorns dancing on fire or reference to Footloose :')

bethsmiles

@AlPacina - Haha, yes that is part of my hesitancy. I would be at a different branch (my co-worker is a large part of what makes me fucking miserable here) and it would be a raise so at least I'd be making more even if I still hate the company.

ETA: YAY ALASKA! FI and I were talking about where to go on a honeymoon and Alaska definitely is on the list.
