Tired Tuesday

MissKittyDanger

Not much. Class last night. Found out my Steeped Tea order is already in, and I'm irked I didn't order the salsa mix with this order. Oh well ...

Tonight gotta swing by Wal*Mart. Getting Matt to do a bunch of stuff while I surf facebook study. We're pulling out our xmas stuff to see what we've got.

What time do you usually go to bed?
9:30-10pm

How many hours of sleep do you usually get?
I actually get 8.5 hrs but it never feels enough urg!

If you live together, does your SO go to bed at the same time as you?
Gosh no. He's a night owl!

If you live together, do you and your SO sleep in the same room? 
Yup. Unless he passes out on the couch lol

Which side of the bed do you sleep on?
Looking at the bed, the right side.

Are you a stomach/side/back sleeper?
All. Mainly side.

What do you wear to bed?
pj's

Do you sleep in socks?
No! I can barely handle socks when I have to wear them

What's your bedtime routine?
Put my stuff in kitchen, take out dinner to defrost {sometimes} brush teeth, say goodnight to Matt, go to room to read, put on lotion, and then go to sleep.

Do you snore?
Neither of us do. I sometimes talk and Matt can have convos with me. Matt yells out numbers or code when he's stressed. {he's always yelled numbers apparently lol}

Please tell me the salsa mix is not...tea. Right? My taste buds do not compute...

I can't get over how many people get 8+ hours of sleep at night.

@swazzle That sounds wonderful!! He already knows that my periods aren't going to be the same as me being on the pill. Hopefully he can just remain calm if my body reacts like yours does lol

Add me to the tired bunch. It was raining this morning when I woke up which always makes it so much harder to get out of bed. Last night we grilled steak and veggies and it was so good. Tonight I'm going to the gym and then going home to relax.

@swazzle - Good for you for getting back at it! It's always hard at first but you can do it!
@labro - The zoo and margaritas sound like the makings of an awesome day!
@untouchablets - Good luck today!

What time do you usually go to bed? Too late for my own good, usually 11:15-ish
How many hours of sleep do you usually get? 6.5 - 7. On the rare occasion I get 8 hours, I wake up feeling so good!
If you live together, does your SO go to bed at the same time as you? Yup
If you live together, do you and your SO sleep in the same room? Yes
Which side of the bed do you sleep on? Looking at the bed, I'm on the left side!
Are you a stomach/side/back sleeper? Side with a pillow between my legs
What do you wear to bed? Usually a tank and shorts
Do you sleep in socks? Only if I'm wearing fuzzy socks and forget to take them off before I fall asleep
What's your bedtime routine? Wash face, brush teeth, take bc pill and hop into bed
Do you snore? Nope

Peaseblossom55

@swazzle me too, I get 8 hours usually on the weekends but never during the week day unless I'm sick.  Your two times to the gym beats the fact that I've done nothing.  You are way more motivated than I am.

jenjen047

Everyone at work is hassling me today and I'm all

MissKittyDanger

@labro hard to explain, but it's a black tea mixed with other items. It sounds weird and I was completely skeptical until I tried it!
Actual ingredients: Onion flakes, garlic powder, oregano, parsley, cilantro, black tea, basil, cumin, spices
I just add diced tomatoes {canned or cut} and mix really well. You don't even use much!

Do you drink this or eat it?

Eat. With chips ideally. It's just using tea as a flavour add on. There's a bunch of stuff I sell with black tea as a base idea. You don't taste the tea, but when you have the salsa it's better than store bought and very close to many homemade versions.

Chips are God's gift to mankind for delivering salsa to your facehole. What else WOULD you eat salsa with???

Not trying to pick you apart here....but this whole tea in salsa thing is just really bizarre to me. I think I'll just go to the store and buy my fancy salsa already in jars.

@Swazzle I'm so glad you enjoyed your class last night! Way to go! Powering through is so tough but so rewarding afterwards. I definitely feel you on how painful is it to get back on the workout wagon. I'm dreading going back to the gym. :-\
@labro Your day sounds amazing! What a fun sendoff for your friend. I can't wait to hear about your dealership visits! Good luck!
@untouchablets Good luck today! Don't worry too much-- it's super quick, and you'll be fine! 
@speakeasy14 OH HELL NO to those girls! Ugh, people are seriously the worst.
@jenjen047 Oh wow, what a weekend! Good luck with everything and try to enjoy yourself! What gift are you most hoping to receive? Also, please post pics of your fitting!
@TwoDimes OMG your MIL stories are the best/worst. Wow. Dying! hahaha
----------------
I hate nighttime tornadoes. HATE them. The NWS phone alert woke up H and I around 3:30am due to a tornado in the area. I checked the local news station's facebook and didn't see an active tornado in our area, just really bad straightline winds, so we started to go back to sleep until the tornado sirens went off around 4. We got up, looked outside, and saw no wind and no rain. Ugh. The tornadoes were about 15 miles north of us, but they were technically in the same county, so I guess that's why the sirens were going off near us. We waited until the warning expired around 4:30 and went back to sleep. 

Around 5 or 5:30 I was awakened by some really intense cramping. It came in waves and lasted about an hour or so. I called the OBGYN and left a voicemail, so hopefully I'll hear back soon about whether or not I should be worried. It's been less than a week since I had the IUD inserted, but everything I read said to call the doctor if I have intense cramping after the first day, sooooo yeah. Ugh.

Needless to say, I'm running on maybe 3 or 4 hours of sleep, so I'm exhausted and bitchy. I've got 2 meetings today, and I'm hoping I can get through them without being rude or falling asleep. Tuesday, why are you acting like Monday?

What time do you usually go to bed? Ideally around 10 but lately midnight
How many hours of sleep do you usually get? 7-8 hours
If you live together, does your SO go to bed at the same time as you? Nope, he usually comes to bed a couple of hours after I do.
If you live together, do you and your SO sleep in the same room? Of course!
Which side of the bed do you sleep on? The right side
Are you a stomach/side/back sleeper? All of the above!
What do you wear to bed? Usually a big t-shirt and undies
Do you sleep in socks? Negative
What's your bedtime routine? Shower, brush teeth, put on PJs, read or watch YouTube videos for a little while and then pass out.
Do you snore? Nope, but I apparently "bite the air a lot" in my sleep. H says it's not grinding, but chomping. lol.

If you can't taste the tea in it then how is it a flavor add-on? 

MissKittyDanger

@labro There are crazy people who eat veggies with salsa. And no, I completely get it! It's not for everyone and typically when I bake stuff with the tea base, I don't tell anyone until they eat it and tell me how they like it. I made muffins and scones for last month's party. For the one this weekend, I'm making salsa {which ends up being chunky style, and my fave way lol} and a caramel apple cheeseball {also tea based}
Definitely not for everyone

speakeasy14

Ugh total first world moment haha -- I have 4 different Thanksgiving meals within the next week and I've run out of ideas for things to make.  Friendsgiving this weekend I'm making truffle mashed potatoes (aka crack potatoes).  Thanksgiving day I'm making butternut squash and peach pie.  I need another option for Friendsgiving #2.

Swazzle

@eilis1228 - Oh no  I hope everything's ok. Keep us posted, please. I wish I could remember back to how I felt those days after insertion. All I do remember is bleeding a lot. Like spotting everyday for weeks. HUGS.

@speakeasy14 - I make Skinnytaste Mini Pecan Phyllo Tarts every year and they fly off the serving tray as soon as I put them out. 

labro

@speakeasy14 Macaroni and cheeeeeeeeessssssseeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bethsmiles

@untouchablets - Good luck with the IUD, I hope it's not too bad!
@speakeasy14 - That just makes me sad for the world, I feel bad for the kid. I'm sure when reality hits she won't be giggling so much.
@jenjen047 - Holy cow, your wedding is so close! That sucks you have to work on Thanksgiving. FI's family is doing Thanksgiving on Saturday this year since FI and his sister both have to work.
@eilis1228 - I feel like you need internet hugs, or maybe just tons of coffee if I could figure out how to transport it through the screen to you! I had a night like that once except it was with amber alerts and my phone and FI's phone would not stop going off! I believe after the one at 4 AM I may have screamed "Unless they drive the kid through my bedroom wall I'm not finding him!" But I'm glad your safe from the tornadoes (I'm terrified of tornadoes!). Also, fingers crossed you hear back from your OBGYN soon!
-----------------------------------------------------
I was on my way to work today when I got a call saying that the roads into the neighborhood had too much snow and I wouldn't be able to make it in so just go home. I was pretty surprised since there wasn't that much traffic and the roads were totally fine by my apartment but yay a day off! I have grading to catch up on (boo) but I'll probably binge watch Supernatural while I do it (yay!). 

I'm really proud of myself because I've been doing great on my diet lately. I've lost 5 lbs in the past two weeks For some reason it just feels easier this time and I'm not as tempted to cheat as I usually am. Now, I just need to add in more exercise.

What time do you usually go to bed? Around midnight, I always tell myself I should go to bed sooner but it almost never happens.
How many hours of sleep do you usually get? I probably average 6 hours.
Which side of the bed do you sleep on? I sort of take up the whole bed.
Are you a stomach/side/back sleeper? I sleep on my side.
What do you wear to bed? A lot of the time, nothing but if it's cold pajama pants and an old t-shirt
Do you sleep in socks? Nope, I can't sleep if I have socks on.
What's your bedtime routine? Shower (I usually wash my face in the shower), brush teeth, play something on Netflix for background noise, sleep
Do you snore? Nope, at least no one has ever told me I if do.

Good morning, sunshines!! 

I'm tired, but in a surprisingly good mood. Probably because we had donuts at our company meeting. 

I'm in CT for the day for work which means I'll be here until about 3pm and then head home. I forgot my rings for the second straight day. Oops.

I only have to work tomorrow and then I'm off because H & I leave for Punta Cana on Friday morning! WOOOOO!! I can't even believe that it's here already. I hope it'll be nice & relaxing, and that it's not all family fun time for the whole week. (That might be flammable, go ahead.) 

Before we leave, I have an appointment with a specialist on Thursday for my continued abnormal paps. It's at the Women's Cancer Care Center, which makes it really really terrifying. I'll take any vibes anyone can spare.

@swazzle - way to get back on the train, sisser! You're awesome.

@untouchablets - Losing my period was the BEST side effect of the Mirena! My mom actually mentioned recently that I should look into tubal ligation, and I've mentioned to H about getting a vasectomy, but both of those things result in me getting my period again, so... IUD it is! 

@LaBro - Please text me AS SOON as you drive the Subaru. I am SO jealous. I will own a Subaru again someday, I swear it. 

@jenjen047 - Stop being so busy!! Your countdown is SO LOW!!! You're going to be in the OMH club soon!! 

@speakeasy14 - Give a good side eye to the jerks. @Swazzle can show you the way to a really good side eye.  

Q's (I feel like @swazzle wrote some of these just so I can answer them)

What time do you usually go to bed? 
I usually head up to bed around 10ish during the week. Sometimes later, but usually no later than 11pm.

How many hours of sleep do you usually get?
I'm in bed for 8-9 hours, but I don't sleep well, so I don't actually get 8-9 hours of sleep. H doesn't understand this, because he falls asleep IMMEDIATELY. Jerk.

If you live together, does your SO go to bed at the same time as you?
Usually not. He stays up later than I do.

If you live together, do you and your SO sleep in the same room? 
Duh.

Which side of the bed do you sleep on?
Always whichever side is furthest from the bedroom door so H can protect me from intruders  In our master bedroom, that's the right side. <-- @TwoDimes' answer, and also mine! 

Are you a stomach/side/back sleeper? 
All of the above.

What do you wear to bed? 
Same as @swazzle & @TwoDimes - undapants and a tank/t-shirt. If I'm really cold (which is RARE) I'll put on leggings, but I absolutely CANNOT sleep in baggy pants. I move too much and get all twisted up.

Do you sleep in socks? 
Ew.

What's your bedtime routine? 
Pry myself out from underneath a snoring puppy, fill my water glass, kiss H, go upstairs, brush teeth, remove contacts, turn on noisemaker, take off my pants, climb into bed, get kitten snugs while reading or playing on my phone.

Do you snore?
Ask @Swazzle. 

GoldenPenguin

Also, this.

speakeasy14

@labro ugh someone already signed up for mac & cheese  
@Swazzle those sound perfect, and super easy.  I'm sure by then I'll want to do something easy
@eilis1228 sending lots of hugs your way! Maybe you can slip out of work early so you can rest

bethsmiles

@GoldenPenguin - All the vibes!!!

AlPacina

@jenjen047 - No pity for you! But I am sorry you're getting hassled at work today.

@speakeasy14 - As far as Friendsgiving, make one of those things where you put a ring of rolls in a pan with some kind of dipping sauce in the middle and cover it all with cheese or garlic butter then bake it. I've seen lots of those recipes around lately, and I'm thinking I'll make one for the holidays.

Re: Those teenagers:

@eilis1228 - Okay, your night sounds absolutely miserable. *SO MANY HUGS FOR YOU*..... It's pretty hilarious though that you chomp in your sleep!

@MissKittyDanger - I think that food sounds awesome! Sometimes herbal tea is made out of what would typically be used as a spice (i.e. mint, orange), so I understand how black tea could be used as a spice as well.

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

What time do you usually go to bed? Between 8:30 and 9:30 but I don't go to sleep right away.

How many hours of sleep do you usually get? 7-ish

If you live together, does your SO go to bed at the same time as you? Pretty much every night. Sometimes not on weekends.

If you live together, do you and your SO sleep in the same room? Yep.

Which side of the bed do you sleep on? The right side. And I had to fight for it!

Are you a stomach/side/back sleeper? I'm always on my side if I'm sharing the bed with my BF. If I'm alone, I am sprawled on either my back or stomach.

What do you wear to bed? Sometimes I'll start in a cami and undies, but I typically go to sleep naked.

Do you sleep in socks? NEVER

What's your bedtime routine? Convince the dog to follow me upstairs, pee, BF and I brush our teeth together, snuggle and talk for a while, DO IT, clean up, then fall asleep almost immediately.

Do you snore? If I lay on my back, yea. I wake myself up and realize I need to roll onto my side. That's why I've tried to make that position a habit. 

ETF: I contradicted myself.

labro

@speakeasy14 All I'm sayin' is there is no such thing as too much mac n' cheese.

@GoldenPenguin I didn't think it was possible but I think Bruschi is actually getting cuter!!!

Swazzle

@GoldenPenguin - 

untouchablets

@GoldenPenguin I'm obsessed with that pic of Bruschi!

labro

@GoldenPenguin 1. VIBES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And hugs!!!!
2. No matter what - you get to go to Punta Cana afterwards. I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving vacation!!!!!!!!!

jenjen047

@GoldenPenguin - Vibes! Also JEALOUS of Punta Cana!! Andplusalso I agree with you on baggy pants. It's never been an issue but lately I've started to get annoyed by them being twisted while I sleep.

@eilis1228 - I had bad cramping for weeks after I got Mirena. I still get flashes of it from time to time (literally last week I was doubled over on the toilet for 2 minutes, then everything was fine). My OB says as long as it goes away it's fine, but definitely talk to your dr! Also glad you were safe from tornadoes, even if it means you're tired today.

@bethsmiles - WTG on the diet!!! Also jealous of a snow day!

speakeasy14

@GoldenPenguin all good thoughts headed your way!

jenjen047

Also @eilis1228 - I have been such a registry stalker....sorrynotsorry. I am SO excited for each and every thing that's been bought so far!! I can't possibly pick a favorite and it will be pure torture having to wait to use all my shiny new gifts! FI is most excited for his blender (which he calls a smoothie maker). If I HAVE to pick some faves I'll go with my food processor, FONDUE SET (I can't wait to make all the fondue), toaster oven, indoor grill/panini press, griddle, and beverage dispenser.
