Tired Thursday

@swazzle OMG Booj looks awesome! Glad to hear he likes his new accessory. 

PamBeesly524

@swazzle oh. my. word I am obsessed with the lion mane. I'm getting one for Cooper right now.

PamBeesly524

@beachyone15 we stuck with the classic cheese - I usually like pepperoni or bacon but i was trying to be kinda good....

cu97tiger

@twodimes - That is a cute pic of Indy. F+F do that to me all the time. They aren't laying on any of my stuff here, but they sure are looking cute!

Swazzle

@beachyone15 - She is still on it! I was happy for the blindside last night. I love when girls stick together especially since it happens so rarely. I'd love to see them continue that! I was a little worried for Cydney, who I really like, because she was so outspoken and you know those people never last! 

speakeasy14

@swazzle omg I just burst out laughing at mini lion Booj!  At least he was purring.

@twodimes hmmmm I've never tried giving Cal pretty collars because she used to eat the name charms as a puppy.  Maybe now she'll be okay with it.  She does have a hot pink collar and leash currently, oh and harness.  My youngest sister puts her dog in bow ties.

@beachyone15 hahaha it's a cross between Keurig and I always am up first so I make the coffee.  He honestly asked me yesterday to show him so he doesn't waste money on coffee.

@lavenderfields13 @PamBeesly524 I really like PiYo. It helps with strength training, and it definitely gets your heart rate up. It's pretty low intensity, but the workouts are challenging and effective. 

@lavenderfields13 Good luck with the roll out and the house hunting! I hope your H's credit score is fixed ASAP.

@southernpeach89 LOL at Callie sleeping through hail. Guess she's a heavy sleeper! 

@caseface5 So jealous of your awesome weekend!

@CocoBellaF What a relaxing night! Sounds awesome!

@minskat30 Ahhh I can't wait to hear all about your amazing weekend!

@speakeasy14 He hasn't even touched your car?! WTF

@Swazzle Did the chicken taste like pickle at all? I'm intrigued, but H 100% hates pickles. He won't even kiss me if I've eaten one recently. ETA: OMG that lion mane is everything!

@TwoDimes Awwwww Indy! Look at that sweet little face! How is she feeling today?
------------
My car talk with H last night went so much better than I thought it would! We made some compromises and decided that we will fix the big immediate issues on my car, but get a second quote. We'll then save up for a decent down payment, and I'll get a new car in September or October. I won't get a CX-5, which is what we've discussed for a few years now. Since we're leaning towards no kids at all (or not for a very long time), there's really no need for such a big car, so instead I'll get a small sedan like a Civic or a Mazda3. All in all I think we did a really good job of meeting in the middle, and I'm proud of our negotiating skills.

The dealership still has my car-- they're still running diagnostics on the AC and trying to replicate the issue. As a result, I'm working from home for a second day. Hooray for PJs two days in a row!

Zoey is at doggie day camp today, but I keep thinking that I hear her moving around the apartment. It's kind of eerie. :-\ 

Car research took up most of the night, so I don't have much else to report. Super jealous of everyone going to Chicago this weekend! I can't wait to read all about it next week! 

Swazzle

@eilis1228 - There was a faint pickle taste. Supposedly, pickle juice is a Chick-Fil-A secret, I had no idea. Your H's taste buds are broken. 

eilis1228

@Swazzle LOL yes, they most certainly are broken. He loves Chick-Fil-A though, so maaaaaaybe I could get away with it.

LizzyTish88

@eilis1228 I have a Mazda 3 and I love it. It's a 2008 and it's held up great so far.

jenna8984

@swazzle omg that's amazing!

@twodimes @cu97tiger aaaaaaaaaaaaw so stinking cute!!

@eilis1228 good call on the car

@beachyone15 yaay your office back! We had tacos last night but trying to be healthier so we had them in lettuce instead of shells and it worked awesome.

speakeasy14

@eilis1228 he claims he looked at it, I think he's full of it.  The only reason we took my car to this guy was because my bf's dad swore by him.  Yeah... a month of not touching someone's car, does not equal good customer service, even if he is cheaper than everyone else.  -- My bf has a mazda 3, he seems to like it, but that's all the helpful information I can provide haha

added thought * I cook with pickle juice all the time.  Usually when I finish a jar, I'll keep it in the fridge and then marinade chicken or steak in it.  Everyone has always loved it!

lavenderfields13

@beachyone15 I think people are excited for us to eventually have kids but they just don't think before they speak. I mean what if I was pregnant but it was so early I didn't want people to know? This was H's cousin but one of my cousins did the same thing to me recently too because I was drinking water (which I ALWAYS drink) and everyone assumes that because we're married we're trying to get pregnant. Marriage does not always mean babies. 

The house we looked at was really old and we knew that but it looked SO much nicer in the pics, the layout was really weird, the garage was falling apart and rotting and there were drainage issues and most likely electrical issues. I'm just glad we saw it so we could move on and stop day dreaming about it!

@cu97tiger  F&F are so handsome!

eilis1228

@caseface5 H has a 2008 Mazda3 too! Too funny. He really loves his car. I know @labro had a Mazda3 for a while too and really loved it.

@speakeasy14 He's definitely full of shit. It should not take that long to work on a car. That is ridiculous. How frustrating! Ugh

@TwoDimes I'm glad she's not getting sick anymore, but I hate that she's still coughing so much. Poor girl. Hopefully she's back to her normal self by the time you get home from Chicago.

@jenna8984 I wish that we could go ahead and get a new car now, but oh well. We want to keep the monthly car payment below a certain amount, and H wants a 3-year note on it, so we need to save a bit more.

@lavenderfields13 I had a couple of the deceiving photos issues when I was hunting, One house was SO CUTE in all the photos, seemed to have a great layout, nice yard, lots of space. Walked inside and oh my god... it smelled like mildew, there were huge cracks in the ceiling along the whole length of the house (roof was probably caving in), and the basement ceilings were so low that BF had to lean over (He's 6'), then we noticed black mold along the wall in one part of the basement and got the eff out of there. 
@lavenderfields13 @pambeesly524 I hope you get capes for being super users!  
@CocobellaF Your girls night sounds awesome! Chill nights like that are my favorite. 
@swazzle The lion mane. omg. perfect. 
@beachyone15 Glad you get to move back to your office!

My free week at the gym ends today, conveniently right before the weekend and my work audit next week. I hope it doesn't derail me. I've been on a roll and it feels good! I'll be joining the gym for reals once I get back. 

Last night BF and I went to a concert, Gregg Allman from the Allman Bros. BF was way pumped about it. I enjoyed it but was totally falling asleep by the end because I've been so tired this week. 

I'm jealous of everyone heading to Chicago! I can't wait for the updates on Monday. 

Also, I really want pizza right now.

speakeasy14

@wink0erin ugh hopefully next week isn't too insane for you

cu97tiger

@twodimes - I can't resist them! That's part of the reason why when I get ready for work at home, it takes over an hour, but if I'm at the gym, it takes 30 mintues... because they give me those faces, and then I pile on top of them and pet them for 10 minutes!

lavenderfields13

@wink0erin One of the other super users did get us capes as a joke lol. I get to wear a snazzy vest though. I thought a fleece vest would be too hot in April but apparently Mother Nature thinks it's still February in MA it's keeping me warm.

HS - social butterfly, overachiever, goody two-shoes

Absolutely not - did that once and it was so freaking awkward, plus the guy turned into a stalker and I didn't sleep at my apartment for weeks.

5. What do you wish you were doing right now?
In Chicago with NEYers

LizzyTish88

1. What does your dream house look like?

I would love something like this, without the giant rock slope over on the right. I love houses that are big and have "Southern Charm."


2. Describe yourself in one word.
Loyal

3. How would people describe you in high school? college? now?
High School - Dorky, outgoing, silly.

Questions

1. What does your dream house look like? Something like this

One or two story, nice yard, large porch. I want it to have a large, open kitchen with an island, at least 2 bathrooms, and at least 3 bedrooms but preferably 4. I would also like a 2-car garage. And hardwoods! No carpet. 
ETA:
This house has me drooling:

2. Describe yourself in one word.
Short lol
3. How would people describe you in high school? college? now?
High school - smart, college - shy, now - determined
4. If you ever found yourself single again, would you go on a blind date?
No! They are so awkward. H and I actually went on a double blind date the second time we met, and it was terrible. He's so lucky he waited 6 weeks to contact me again... blind dates suck.
5. What do you wish you were doing right now?
Going to Chicago lol Kicking myself for not waiting a little longer to see what airfare costs did before making other plans this weekend.

lavenderfields13

1. What does your dream house look like? I don't have an exact picture in my mind what it looks like but I love houses with lots of character and detail. I'd want at least 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a master suite, big landscaped yard with a pool, patio and finished basement. 
2. Describe yourself in one word. Inquisitive
3. How would people describe you in high school? college? now? promiscuous prob lol/ didn't go to college/ now: boring lol
4. If you ever found yourself single again, would you go on a blind date? Maybe, I can be really shy though so it would be awkward unless there was a good connection and they could keep me talking.
5. What do you wish you were doing right now? Laying on a sunny tropical beach with H with a drink in my hand

edited- I misread number 3 as describe yourself

LizzyTish88

@eilis1228 OMG that second house is exactly what I imagine!

I'd also like to add that my dream home would have a huge yard with a fense for Tess, a big kitchen, and a mantle. I would want a huge porch with rocking chairs, and an area that I could climb out the window to star gaze. 

speakeasy14

I love how everyone else has realistic dream houses and I'm all, I want a freaking villa. 

MissKittyDanger

1. What does your dream house look like?
Simple. 3 story, 3 bedroom, all hardwood, very open concept, lots of storage, decent sized back yard for patio furniture and MAYBE a small play area for future kid(s) I would settle for a park near-by.
Tbh I just described the house I really want to buy lmao

2. Describe yourself in one word.
Extremist - I think that's the word. I can literally go from "i'm the greatest thing ever" to "why bother, people don't like me" too quick. It's not a medical issue, it's actually a personality thing 

3. How would people describe you in high school? college? now?
High school: Confused/quiet. I was multiple different styles trying
College: since I went to a private college, I didn't have same experience. However I spent my afternoons drinking smirnoff black ice outside because Quebec has a drinking age of 18yrs old lol
Now: empathetic/indecisive. Actually one of my BMs said in her speech at the wedding that my huge focus was that I thought of everyone so much instead of making a decision about stuff.

4. If you ever found yourself single again, would you go on a blind date?
Haha .... I didn't even do blind dates when I was single! I did one and it was terrible.

5. What do you wish you were doing right now?
Sleeping. I'm tired.

Questions

1. What does your dream house look like? I'd like a castle, please...



And this would be my pool (overlooking the ocean, of course)-

2. Describe yourself in one word.
Good listener. Sorry, but I couldn't figure out how to make that one word.

3. How would people describe you in high school? college? now?
High school - quiet
College - still quiet
Now - not as quiet!!!

4. If you ever found yourself single again, would you go on a blind date?
Probably not. The only two blind dates I've ever been on, they guys were shorter than me. And I'm only 5'4".

5. What do you wish you were doing right now?
Laying on the deck of a cruise ship next to H, with a drink in my hand.

1. What does your dream house look like? I love the house I bought, so really just pick it up and place it on a larger plot of land that self-maintains and I'm all good. If I gotta get descriptive with it... Brick. Big yard (that mows itself) with a hillside for sledding in the winter and a large flat area for all the other fun things. Big patio, part covered part uncovered, with a firepit. Two car garage, driveway and walkway that shovels itself, finished basement. Oh, and storage galore. Maybe an elevator so I don't have to walk stairs every time I bring groceries in. And a fireplace that self cleans. 

2. Describe yourself in one word. TIRED. (right now). Otherwise, "Determined" or "sassy." I know that's more than one word. Deal with it. 

3. How would people describe you in high school? college? now? My senior year of high school I got an equal number of votes for the "quietest" and "most talkative" superlatives. So, I'd say I was a chameleon (not in a bad way). I merged into any group pretty easily and stayed quiet until figuring out the group dynamic, then I was way outgoing and talkative. Honestly I'm similar now. 
College- I had a lot of haters in college, so I heard stuff like "slut" and "bitch" even though it wasn't THAT true (I mean, I was a little bit slutty, like most single college girls). I dropped a whole crew of negative nancies after finding out they were talking smack behind my back. My friends called me funny and nerdy. 
Now- Most call me all kinds of positive adjectives that I probably don't deserve,  Haters call me full of myself because they be jelly of my rockin' life. 

4. If you ever found yourself single again, would you go on a blind date? Yeah. I've done it before a few times. Now you have social media "blind" dates... so usually you at least see how they look in a profile pic. 

5. What do you wish you were doing right now? Napping at home. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

wink0erin

Actually, screw it. I want this.
