I am

PaigeMcC

eating pergoies.  And they are delicious.  Although lunch is an hour late today.  And it's pouring.  I can't decide if the postive of the pergoies outweighs the negative of the rain and late lunch. 

How's your Monday?

MLekathLEEN

mmmmm...perogies....
Later lunch means less work for the rest of the day, take it as a positive.

I've got a pounding headache and my pinky is bandaged from an unfortunate incident yesterday so now I can't type as well as usual. I've got 3 hours left of work and I'm trying to find the willpower to go to class tonight.

Ohhh, Perogies! Yum!

I am having an ok Monday -- I really need to kick it into high gear (or any gear for that matter). I always start out the week with such good intentions but the wind goes out of my sails pretty quickly. . . however, the weather is GORGEOUS here after a super cold weekend, so that is nice. 

In other news, only 40 days until BF and I go on our epic 3 state Christmas/New Years family visiting/vacation extravaganza!

I am not a perogie fan. I actually can't stand them, but I think I'm one of the few - everyone seems to love them! I like late lunches, personally, because the afternoon flies by. I'm usually hungry by noon though, so it doesn't work out so well for me.

My Monday is OK so far. I'm kinda bored after all the hype last week getting my boss ready for a huge business trip (she left Saturday). And I have a lame lunch since we were out of lunch meat and had no left overs this morning. Blah. I want today to be over!

My Monday is surprisingly going well...

BF and I have had a rough patch for a week and we saw each other before I went to work this morning...It was great. I'm so happy and feel a lot better.

I hate Mondays. I overslept this morning and was late to class. I really really hate my morning classes, they are so pointless and a waste of my time. If I didn't need the credits I would've drop both of them by now.

I have one more class to go to today but its the only class that I actually enjoy this semester so that shouldn't be too bad. BF and I might be doing something with some friends tonight but we never really know because they are kind of flaky which drives me insane! Ugh...I'm grumpy today.

My Monday is ok.  The same really.  Law school is making me seriously depressed.

I just want all of you ladies to know that you keep me going during the day.  Disagreements or not, know that there is a law student in Boston who smiles because of YOU.

What are perogies?

Mondays go pretty smooth here.

The hardest decision I've had to make is what color of post-it note to refill my dispenser with.

I packed my lunch.  We eat super late here, like 1:30.  It makes the second half of the day go quickly, though.

BF left me another sweet note on the mirror before he left town at 5am. 
No grammatical errors this time!  He must've been fully awake.
Now I'm counting down til he comes back Friday...

I won't believe it 'till I see it.

Lunch sounds great. Too bad it's not quite 10am here. I made baked ziti last night (except it was penne), so I have leftovers today.

I'm waiting for people to finish clearing stuff out of the office across the hall so I can move and have a window!

Also, I love pierogies. But even better is a smoked salmon piroshky. The Seattle ladies may be familiar with Piroshky Piroshky in Pike Place Market. Soooooo yummy!

nottheonlydreamer44

Yummy!! I want one. I just ate but I'm starving and I don't know why.

@ Shoes - I'm glad you're smiling chicky, you deserve it, even though law school bites.

Monday is alright. Baby is not freaking out today so that's an enormous bonus to this day. I'm taking my momma to the Bengals/Steelers game tonight and I'm pumped. She's never been to a pro game before even though she's a huge football fanatic. The tempature isn't freezing yet but I could use a nap. That's about all.

Oh, and I really, really want cake. FI went and got me some last night but it wasn't right. lol. I need to find something else.

coastiegrl25

Mmmm I love perogies!! I never knew about them until I moved to the North East.  My Monday is pretty mundane.  Well that's not really any different from any other day lately.

I want to know what your reaction is after you have them!  I introduced BF to them about a year ago, and now he asks for them all the time and makes them for himself when he's been drinking. lol

Elle, I didn't take a picture of it this morning. 

So I guess it didn't happen?

PaigeMcC

I didn't know there were people so unfortunate in this world that they did not know about perogies.  They're a delicious pastry stuff with (usually) cheese and mashed potatoes.  They're of Eastern European origin.  Fun Fact: They were also my first solid food.  I stole one from my dad at an exhibition game in BC when I was about 6 months old

MLekathLEEN

FI and FFIL pan fry them. My mom boils them and puts butter on them. Either way is equally delicious.

I'm not as harsh as Paige.  I'll believe he left you a note.  I won't believe that it was free of grammar errors.

FGPIL's ruin my waistline. FI's grandparent's are from KY and grandma makes the best food ever! It's amazing because it's loaded with salt and extremely fattening. A weekend with them can cost you about 5 lbs on average.

I've never had those but they sound delicious!

My Monday- well, it's like my Friday. For the past three weeks I've been scheduled thurs-mon and I have tues and weds off. UNFORTUNATELY I have jury duty this week!! So LAME! I still don't even know if I have to go in today. There's a chance I have to go half day so I have to call between 11:10 and 11:30 to see if I have to report for after lunch. I am not excited about this!!!

Awful, as people on my FB can attest to. It's cold, rainy and very windy outside, I got into an argument with my mom this morning and then I tripped and fell and ripped my dress pants that I was wearing for a job interview. I had to subsequently cancel said interview because I looked a hot mess. I go home and realize I don't have my keys, and no one is home and have to sit outside until someone can let me in.

I need a drink.

Yep.  That's a bad day.

Perogies!  Yumm.... my plan to eat healthy doesn't include those goodies, though!  Especially how I like them - grilled in butter until crispy.  Delish!

My Monday is good!  I went for a 2 mile run this morning, and did nearly 3 miles yesterday!  It's getting easier, and I'm starting to think a half marathon might not be completely psycho.  Then I remember that I'll have to run those 3 miles more than 4 times... and it seems a little much!  But I'll get there, I'll get there!

I also updated my blog (neverranamile.wordpress.com) to reflect my total laziness the last month, and the last few days of productivity.  I feel like I'm on a roll!  And BF went running with me, which was really sweet, and we had a really good time (even though it's barely a warm up for him - he runs 6 miles daily!).  I'm glad I've gotten into this thing that he loves to do, especially as my abs, ass, and legs are starting to trim up!
