Friday is here!

@minskat30 - My UTIs were caused by the urethra or the ureters being way too small, so they went inside and made tiny microscopic cuts to open them up.  I don't know if that's the problem for you or not, but thankfuly mine was fixed after that one surgery.

speakeasy14

@Peaseblossom55 Good luck with your appointment today! 
@beanbot2002 hahaha love the Noah story 
@minskat30 ugh UTIs are the worst! hopefully you're able to find a solution for them soon. I always have cranberry juice in the house just in case.

Oh I forgot my boring weekend pans!

I barely slept last night because H went out after work and didn't get home until 3am. At 2am I woke up and couldn't sleep because he wasn't home. Then when he got in bed we talked for like an hour and then after he fell asleep I couldn't because I constantly think I hear noises in the apartment. I don't know what my problem is the last few months but I'm terrified of someone breaking in and I sit up in bed at any little noise. Anyways, I'm sure I'm going to be exhausted when I get home so it will probably be an early night. H might work a double tonight. I have to go in to town for training for work all day tomorrow so that's fun   Then when I get out me and H plan on binge watching the rest of Making a Murderer because we keep avoiding spoilers!

Sunday will be sleeping late, laundry and cleaning. I was going to take off Monday to make up for Saturday but I left a little early on Weds so I will go in a for a few hours and then attempt to pack for my trip to see my parents and brother on Wednesday!

@Peaseblossom55 Good luck today!

@jenna8984 - Ehh that's not too bad for me. I don't mind the distance (H does the driving anyway). I just don't have much of an interest in some of the bands he likes lol 

@minskat30 - EXACTLY! 

@lavenderfields13 - I've looked into the tattooing! I actually want to get eyeliner tattooed on. I almost went last year but nobody would go with me and I'm scared to go alone hahaha

@Peaseblossom55 - Good luck today!!!!

Happy Friday! I'm so glad this week is over. The first week back to work is always hard and I'm finally feeling normal again. I don't care what that doctor said, those antibiotics totally knocked out my cold. I just wish I would have gotten them 4 weeks ago when it all started. No major plans for this weekend other than taking down Christmas and moving around all the furniture. After waiting 3 months to finally fix our carpet, the guys are coming Monday and Tuesday so our house will finally be put back together next week!

@swazzle - I know what you mean about finding the right person to do your eyebrows. I have someone I go to religiously and if she ever gets out of the business I have no idea what I'll do.
@CocoBellaF - We have to put up Christmas stuff this weekend too. I just hate taking it all down, but it needs to be done.
@labro - Lasagna?! Gimme!!!
@southernpeach89 - I can't imagine how hard it must be. I don't have any experience, but I'm hoping maybe it will eventually get easier?
@beanbot2002 - I need to be better about meal planning. I think it will be a slow day today. Maybe I'll make a grocery list...
@speakeasy14 - Ice skating sounds so fun! I'm terrible at it...but it sounds fun:)
@minskat30 - Ugh. I'm sorry. I'm prone to them too and it's the worst feeling in the world. I hope you get relief soon!!
@Peaseblossom55 - Fingers are crossed for you!

minskat30

@cocobellaf - Thank you for the info.  I think that might be my problem as well. I cannot possibly do MORE to prevent them than I am.  I'm going to ask the doctor about it at my next appointment and see if I can get in with a urologist too.  

@speakeasy14 - I drank half a bottle of cranberry juice (the real stuff, not sweetened) yesterday.  Stuff is nasty.



@lavenderfields13 - I'm sorry you aren't sleeping well.  Do you guys have an alarm system?  Maybe that would help calm your nerves.  

Peaseblossom55

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, it means so much to me.  I wish I could pass out wine and cake to everyone. 

labro

@TwoDimes All Iowa deliveries are suspended until July. That's when all the snow officially melts right?

lavenderfields13

@minskat30 I never considered an alarm since we rent I didn't even think that was an option. I will just deal with it for now until we have a house and can have a really good alarm system. . I don't know what's causing this anxiety. 

Swazzle

@TwoDimes - GO PACK GO! Please send the Redskins home crying! This weekend I'm also cheering for the Chiefs because I want Andy Reid and Jeremy Maclin to do well and the Bengals because I hate Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers. I'll also root for the Broncos because I love Peyton. I'd like to see the Chiefs win the Superbowl. 

speakeasy14

@minskat30 I always pour a little bit into a pitcher and dilute it with water. The pure stuff is way too strong otherwise.

beachyone15

@minskat30 and @speakeasy14 - Have y'all tried the AZO cranberry pills? SO much better than having to drink the juice.

speakeasy14

@beachyone15 I have those in my medicine cabinet too, but I usually stick to the juice to make myself pee more and flush it all out.

Yup.  Like @lavenderfields13 mine usually progress from painful to excruciating (bleeding) pretty quickly so I don't know if cranberry supplements do anything for making a UTI actually go away as I'm usually on antibotics by then.  

Good new though!  Doctor calling in a prescription now...thank God for that.  

eilis1228

@swazzle Good luck with yoga! You're going to do great!
@CocoBellaF I hope you feel better ASAP so you can enjoy brunch tomorrow! and zomg Baxter with that pillow!
@cu97tiger Please AW everything about your weekend when you come back.
@jenna8984 Confession: I have never thrown out old insurance cards. I still have the ones I got back in 2003 when my parents first bought the car. You are not alone! Will you AW your new car?
@labro H and I will have similar re-org plans very very soon. Honestly, one of the best feelings in the world is finishing a huge purge/re-organization project. Hope it goes smoothly for y'all!
@southernpeach89

@beanbot2002 Sounds like Noah is your typical eccentric genius. I'm glad he's doing so well at school! 
@caseface5 I'm glad the girls loved their frames! You did a fantastic job with them! Also, sounds like you need this:

@speakeasy14 Awww what a fun Thursday night! You look like a natural on the ice! No bruises today?
@minskat30 UGH UTIs are the literal worst. I'm sorry you've had so many recently-- I really hope they let up as your pregnancy progresses. 
@peaseblossom55 Crossing all appendages that your consultation goes well today! What book are you reading?
@lavenderfields13 I have similar paranoia about a break-in. I live in a really quiet, safe part of town, but last month there was a break-in in my building. I've been on high alert ever since. :-\ I hope you're able to get some much-needed rest tonight!
@beachyone15 YAY! So glad the antibiotics helped!
@TwoDimes YAAAAY! Please AW your new car! Congrats!
-----------------------------
FRIDAY!!!!!! Woohoo!

Tonight we are going to a friend's house to watch some film noirs, which is great because Zoey and this friend's dog are boyfriend and girlfriend. They like to sleep in his crate together and everything. True love:


I planned to work out when I got home today, but last night the leasing office sent out an email that the gym will be closed today for painting, sooo I guess it's a rest day!

Tomorrow morning we're going to tour the model unit of the new apartment so we can get some measurements, and then we're going to pick up the cheap desks we found on CL. Tomorrow night we're headed into Dallas to celebrate my MOH's engagement. Her BF's plan is to propose at their apartment and then walk over to a bar where all of their friends will be waiting. She actually texted me yesterday out of the blue asking about ring shopping, so I think she's suspicious lol.

On Sunday we'll drive out to FIL and MIL for a birthday lunch for H. That will likely take up most of the day, and we'll probably be too tired to do much of anything Sunday night. 

I feel super cute today because I'm wearing new SF clothes. I didn't end up taking pictures or posting about the last few SFs I've received, but the one I got earlier this week was a 5/5. @swazzle is simultaneously the best and the worst for introducing me to SF.  

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Peaseblossom55

@eilis1228 I am reading The Last Anniversary, a few weeks ago @swazzle mentioned it was on sale or something and I downloaded it.  It's interesting so far.

MissKittyDanger

Morning! I just skimmed a lot of it, but @Swazzle 's post reminds me I should get mine touched up soon.

My sinus cold seems to be fading, which is good. Still stuffy and still low energy, but better than before.
Groceries last night, we had to stock up on some basic stuff mainly but we were under budget! {yay} I'm happy about that because I need to get a new swim top and V.S sale is still happening, so I'm gonna check that out this weekend. I need new sunglasses and another pair of shorts but I'm not too jumpy on buying those.

I just spent 2hrs doing a deposit because we got a crap ton of cheques in yesterday.

Low-key day at work, which is good. I'm gonna spend it cleaning up my desk and doing stuff that needs my attention asap. Matt's going out with friends tonight, so I'll be home cleaning and relaxing and watching Gilmore Girls.

Oh! Remember I mentioned "Splitered" series yesterday? Well ... I'm already half way done book 2 .... damn.

labro

@Peaseblossom55 Good luck at your RE appointment!!

@TwoDimes You better AW that new car!!!

Has anyone bought tickets for the Powerball drawing? H and I got 3 last night...so if you never hear from me again you'll know what happened.

speakeasy14

@eilis1228 haha no bruises, the klutz did not fall! I actually barely moved since I couldn't find my balance.  The picture was my bf trying to coax me into skating towards him haha

Peaseblossom55

@speakeasy14 I always call every time I go ice skating.   I barely leave the wall, but it's still fun.

Swazzle

I'm going to win the Powerball and pay off my student loans, both cars, and my house then pay off my mom's debt and buy my parents a house and a car. I will have a personal trainer and a chef and I'll get to eat all the pizza I want. I will build a kitten baby sanctuary for all the stray kitten babies. I'll visit the big cat sanctuary in Mexico and make a hefty donation for rescues and rehabilitation and they will name a lion baby after me. And then I will travel all over the entire world for eternity. Amen.

minskat30

@labro - H rolls his eyes at me when I buy them but I'm going to buy one today anyway.  You better not disappear though if you win.  I would like to hear of all the fun things you do with the money.  I'd probably move to an island and open a tiki bar

labro

@TwoDimes Congrats!!! Paying off debt is amazing!!!!

@minskat30 WELL since you asked.

H and I plan to disappear asap if we win so we don't get robbed and murdered. Once the money is secured though we'll "come out" and then live the high life forever and ever and ever.

minskat30

@TwoDimes - Way to go!!

Swazzle

@TwoDimes - Like you would actually vacuum yourself

Peaseblossom55

I had H order me a planner yesterday a cute one I found on amazon, there is no way I'm going to get through this year without writing down things are going on.  It gets here Monday.

AlPacina

@swazzle - I personally feel like I have terrible eyebrows, but any time I've gotten them waxed the tech has said stuff like "Oh, they don't need much at all".... So I have no idea if you should take life advice from me. I guess meet me and decide for yourself, haha.

@jenna8984 - Wahoo!! Yea new car!

@southernpeach89 - We have so many freakin mason jars. I hate it! I hope someone I know has a wedding soon so I can give them all away, haha. Does your friend need more?

@speakeasy14 - Bold eyebrows FTW! You are adorable on ice skates.

@caseface5 - So are you into wrestling? Or did you just think that gif in your signature was funny? I just have no idea who those guys are, but it is hilarious dancing!

@peaseblossom55 - I know I'm late to this, but good luck at your consult today! I hope you get all the useful information you need!

@lavenderfields13 - I've been reading ALL the spoilers, even as I've been watching MAM, haha. I don't even care. I've seen enough news articles to know whether they are/aren't in jail so it doesn't matter to me anymore.

@MissKittyDanger - Sometimes I love being sick because it forces me to do nothing except lay around and read.

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

Is it weird that I've never had a UTI?!? I must have a large urethra! Haha

Sorry. ANYHOO................

I had yesterday afternoon off to go to another laser hair removal appointment. It barely even hurts anymore! I took the dog to the dog park and there was this fuzzy little black puppy that absolutely loved me, and I loved him, and if his owner had turned away for even a second I would have stolen him and brought him home, haha! I made chicken udon soup for dinner, which was DELICIOUS.

I also stopped by B&N and bought a planner that I had been looking at last time. I really think this is going to help me, especially considering I have tickets to shows up to 6 months from now. I also put in reminders to buy birthday cards and presents so I can get them sent out early enough. I really do love this board and the effect it has had on my life decisions, haha. I was only going to spend 5 bucks, but on the way out they had the Hamilton (the musical) soundtrack CD on sale for members, so I picked it up and AM EVEN MORE OBSESSED OMG.

Tomorrow I have no plans. My BF is going to his dad's for a poker game Saturday night, so I'll probably watch one of my shows that he doesn't like. I'm thinking American Horror Story or Bates Motel.

Swazzle

@AlPacina - I will gladly inspect your brows when I meet you IRL  I also wrote myself reminders to buy/send birthday cards this year! I'm terrible at doing that and then when I remember, it's too late. I've never had a UTI, either.
