Mondays are the suck.

What's new with everyone?  How was your weekend?  Anything going on this week that you are/are not looking forward to?

I agree mondays are Yuck!

Not too much here besides working. Need to get in my training runs for my half. Some random excitement but not really, a new pizza place opened up down the road (one block) and I tried it back in Sept when FI was in Chicago for work and he has never wanted to try it, finally tonight he's open to it. Pizza is my favorite dinner. Ohh its double pay day week for me too. That helps!

Mondays can suck it.

I am really, really hoping I get an offer for this new job this week.  I can't take my manager's BS anymore.

Stina: I'm obsessed with pizza so that would excite me as well hahaha

SKP: I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Tarra: Ugh. That IS yucky.

Yuck I hate Mondays. I'm ready for it to be Friday already.

Weekend was quiet. As we know, I was completely immeresed in the Hunger Games. Finally finished the third one last night! But that's probably why I'm tired since I stayed up until midnight reading. BF comes home from Florida tomorrow! And he'll be here Friday night for my birthday weekend. 20 on Saturday!

trying to wake up.  H had to be at work at 6:30 this morning for a staff meeting.  we got up together at 5:15 and I made breakfast while he took his shower.  since I ate breakfast before my shower, instead of after like I normally do, I had 30 minutes just to sit around... but I ended up doing dishes and disinfecting the kitchen counters.  I feel productive.  it doesn't take much. 

I'm pretty sleepy though.  I took a 2 hour nap yesterday afternoon, and so it took a little bit to fall asleep last night.  I have some coffee I need to start guzzling.

I'm hoping today is not the suck.  work has been so stressful lately.  Friday, I left work and just laid in bed for 3 hours until H got home from work.  major cry fest.  then we ended up ordering cheap chinese food and I baked a carrot cake at midnight. 

sunbird, what classes are you taking??  I would love to go back to school.  I graduated with my bachelor's in '09, and the past few months I've been itching to take some classes.  unless the government reinstates tuition reimbursement (which sucks anyway, it's on a class-by-class basis, not on a degree basis... so they'll only cover classes they deem "necessary" instead of anything towards your degree) I can't afford it.  we're trying to pay off H's loans.  yay.

but I did sign up for some cooking classes (Italian and Mediterranean) and I'm thinking of signing up for a once-a-week Italian language or yoga class at the votech across from our house.  that's something!

I usually hate Mondays, but my weekend blew so hard so I'm glad it's over. I was an emotional mess and ate so badly and drank way too much. I'm just much more regimented during weekdays. Talk to me Wednesday when I'm ready for the next weekend:) Haha! 

SKP, hoping you get that job!

Lauren:  Get some coffee, buckle down, & get it done! And then treat yourself to something nice/yummy/fun

Silver: I just read them again a week or 2 ago & I want to read them (for the 3rd time) before the movie comes out. So, so good!

Coco: Sometimes I have the urge to go back to school too & I think that if I could afford it I would.  I'm going to be paying off my loans from undergrad for a looooong time though so it's just not in the cards The cooking classes sound great!  I want to take some sort of beginner's course. I like cooking, mostly I like following recipes, but I suck at cutting & basic things like that, I don't know how to do it properly if that makes sense.

Danie: I hope everything's ok?  I might have missed a thread where you posted what's going on but I hope you're alright! :::hugs::::

Our weekend was interesting, I suppose. Yesterday morning- our 12 foot christmas tree fell over on it's own accord. Oh my goodness. Andrew said I was louder then the tree...but hello...there is a 12 foot decorated tree falling in my direction! Breakfast wouldn't cook. The dog was sick. LOL. Fun, no?

However- I did treat myself to a new charm on my bracelet and some fancy chocolate. That felt amazing. Why don't I treat myself more?

Stina- Double pay week? AWESOME! Do you work two jobs? How does that work?

SKP- Did they let you know when you should hear about the new job?

Tarra- Also looking forward to hearing about your awesome classes.

Lauren- Kick ass editing vibes coming your way!

SomethingSilver- What did you think about the last part of the third book in HG?

Coco- You're such an awesome wife...I should start cooking breakfast for myself. Andrew doesn't wake up until like...10:30 AM or something. ::shrugs:: But scrambled eggs with cheese sound good for this morning.

Danie- Were there any triggers to why this weekend sucked so much?

[Deleted User]

lunar - he is not a morning person, so I knew breakfast would put him in a better mood.    a lot of times I eat breakfast alone.  plus, he's a great H... takes care of a lot of chores so I don't have to in the evenings!

rdr - the cooking classes are only $29 each, and I found a girlfriend to go with me.  I'm super excited.  I love to cook.  the Italian class is in February...  YUM.

Friday I had my friend's bachelorette party. It was fun overall, we did a bar crawl down 2nd Ave in NYC. One of her friends (her FI's best friend's wife) though was annoying as shiit & so that was a pain to deal with.  I didn't get home until 3:30am!

Saturday, FI &  I slept until 11.  I couldn't tell you the last time that happened. I dozed on the couch all day & then we went for sushi that night. 

Yesterday, I made breakfast, cleaned, & finally unpacked from Grand Cayman. My bff came over for dinner & we watched Shameless & House of Lies. 

I have NOTHING going on this week until Saturday so I'm planning to get back into working out

<div>I thought it ended too quickly. I actually didn't really like the ending. I expected so much more at the mansion. Overall, it took awhile to absorb and although I completely adored the whole series, the end threw me off.</div>

I'm ok with Mondays. It's going to be Tuesdays that are the death of me this semester. I work from 8-noon then have class from 1-6 and 7-10. That's only 2 one hour breaks from 8am to 10pm. Ugh. But then I graduate!

I am looking forward to this weekend. I took Saturday off work so we can go to the North American International Auto Show. I love the auto show. I'm kind of a car nerd. Then after that, we're meeting with a possible officiant for the wedding. And then a week from today, FI has a meeting with an architecture firm. It's not necessarily a job interview. It is "a casual intro to (firm name) and our Assistant department head with lunch in there somewhere...." My dad knows the VP of the firm and got FI in touch with him, so it may be more of just a courtesy meeting, but it is better than nothing!

Lunar- yes unfortunately I do work two jobs and this week I happen to get paid Thur and Fri! Score, shopping? ya right, too many medical bills to pay from fracturing my foot and being a dumbass and cutting my finger open with an apple corer!

Lunar, thanks for asking! I'll send you a PM. I don't want to threadjack:)

Well Little Bean was off for a weekend in Philly with his best friend and family. They went to a really cool outdoor hockey game (Hershey Bears vs Some team I can't remember-Phatoms maybe?), a dino park owned by the dude who designed the Jurrasic Park dinos and a family owned zoo on the way back to VA.

SO and I took advantage of a kid free night and went on a bar crawl with our best friends, who we never get to see, through Adams Morgan. Then on Saturday we had dinner at Outback and went to see the new Mission Impossible movie at the IMax theater. Holy shiznits I jumped every two seconds, SO laughed his butt off at this.

Yesterday was an early bday party for best friend's son. His birthday is actually a month off, but best friend is Special Forces so he'll be gone and he wanted to celebrate with us. It was just us (Little Bean included), best friend and kid, and best friend's mom but it was a ton of fun. We don't get to see him often because of his job. Actually before this weekend it had been about 2 years since we had seen him. So it was great to spend a lot of time with him this weekend.

Oh and the best part of my weekend?? Having a very vivid dream about being knocked up last night. In said dream I had the most ridiculous urge to pee, go to the bathroom, pee in a rubbermaid tub with clothes in it (don't know what that's about) and all of a sudden realize that I am 6 1/2 months pregnant. I then went around asking everyone if they thought my pregnant belly was cute and urging people to touch it. When I woke up, I had to pee like a race horse. Ran to the BR, thought I was getting my monthly, freaked cause it would be over a week early, put on a pad and went back to bed. Any dream interpreters out there?

I agree, Mondays are the SUCK. I am not really looking forward to sitting in the Sauna called the dance waiting room for 3 hours tonight. BUT I brought my camera and the first Hunger Games book, so I suppose I'll make due with that. Oh, and this time I remembered to bring comfy clothes to change in to :-)

My weekend was alright. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't do anything. And my sister and I originally planned to go on a walk with our cameras, but that never happened. Instead I ended up laying around all weekend watching Harry Potter. All 8 movies, some of them more than once!

I'm really looking forward to next weekend because we will be child-free and FI is off. We are going to look at venues and are planning to go out with some friends which we haven't been able to do in SO long.

I had a wonderful and awful weekend all rolled into one. The good parts were much better than the bad parts though

Friday night I went to my mom's and she got my sister and I hooked on the show Game of Thrones - sooo good. But I didn't hear from BF all day, and he was asleep when I got home (and had inadvertently locked me out, which I HATE), so I was a bit pissy when I went to bed.

When I woke up Saturday, BF was up and in his gym clothes and bustling around. I was super bummed because I had hoped to wake up to him snuggling me and perhaps some sexy time, but no, he was a man on a mission. ETA: Oh  yea, and I'd had a dream that I BF had a work party to go to, and told me I couldn't come with him because I was too fat and embarassing, so he was bringing his pretty, thin friend instead.

So I was all fussy and out of sorts, and he tried to snap me out of it to no avail. I had one of those days where I was just anxious and adrift, not really relaxing and not really cleaning, so it was a truly wasted day. By 3 pm I hadn't really gotten anything done, and looked at my phone to see that  my mom and sister were getting together to watch more of the show and did I want to come? I burst into tears and started ranting to BF that if I had gotten up early and wasn't such a fat lazy piece of shiit (aren't I nice to myself??) then I would have had time to clean,and see them, AND go on our date, and now I had no time to see them because I had to clean and get ready. He jumped up, grabbed me in a bear hug, and said he loved me and I'm beautiful and to please never talk about myself that way. He started stripping my sweatpants and sweatshirt off of me and pushing me towards the shower, saying he would clean everything while I was at my mom's and not to worry about it.

So I got some hang-out time with them, and then got a lovely date night with BF. At one point I got emotional over the fact that I am turning 27 in six weeks - which evidently makes me stressed out that I should have my life together, whatever that means - and BF swooped in to be a sweetie again. He made me feel better, but it didn't feel like we really talked about much. I think part of me wants to have the marriage/timeline conversation again but I couldn't make myself bring it up.

When we got home I went to the bathroom and my period had started. That shed a lot of light on the emotional roller coaster I had been riding all weekend. I slept like crap that night, and BF let me sleep in and brought me Dunkies in bed yesterday morning. Then we went for a walk, which was lovely, and out to see a matinee of Sherlock Holmes. We came home, snuggled up, and watched football and Once Upon a Time until we collapsed into bed. I slept like crap again last night, but I'm actually feeling alright today. The tiredness will probably hit at 3ish, ugh. But I can't wait to go home and make a yummy dinner for my lovely man

sousa - I hate pre-period weekends...  so many emotions!

this weekend, I had a dream that H and I had sexytime, and then he proceeded to tell me he had been sleeping with someone else because she was prettier, and he wanted me to meet her.  so I woke up, and then woke him up too.  I was on edge the rest of the day.  haha!  it's so silly.

Liv - I'm so happy that you are so happy. It's totally making my Monday

Lunar - That's hilarious about your tree - I totally pictured it. I hope it didn't cause too much damage though!

<div>There are two establishments on Bourbon Street called Tropical Isle. They are known for hand grenades, which is some random concoction of alcohol that will seriously MESS YOU UP. The first one is a little rough to drink, but after that they go down really smooth :)</div><div>
</div><div>My weekend: FI and I spent a lot of time going over our budget.

Yuck what an icky dream!! Yea, I told BF about it as soon as I woke up. He was so upset, saying he would never say anything like that and doesn't think that at all. I assured him that my self-esteem leaves a lot to be desired and it has nothing to do with him, but it still made him really sad that I thought about myself that way.

I am so not in the mood to be at work today.  I had an okay weekend though, spent most of it reading.  I'd had 'Outlander' recommended to me, so I bought it for my Kindle and started reading it Thursday night and finished it yesterday.  I came to the realization that the bad thing about Kindles are you can't see how big the books are before you start reading them...Outlander is apparently about 1,000 pages.  It was a very good book though, obviously, for me to read 1000 pages in 4 days.  I think I'll take a little break though before I start to tackle the next book in the series...lol.

Aw, csousa, your BF sounds so sweet. I'm sorry you had a rough time. My weekend was good. We literally did nothing...like didn't leave the house for 48 hours. It was wonderful after a month plus of busy weekends.

Good morning!

I had an okay weekend - I started training at my new second job, and it went super well.  Last night was dead, so I learned how to close.  Yippee.  But, also important, since I close Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

I basically spent the rest of the weekend avoiding my landlords.  Srsly, this shiit has to end with them.  I walked in after work last night and they were like "THERE SHE IS!!! We thought you were going to sleep there!"  Seriously?  It was 930.  So, I have decided I'm going major grocery shopping today so I can make all my lunches/dinners and then we are going to have a chat about the fact that I do not want to be a stand-in child.  I'm renting, and therefore am a tenant.  I'd rather be treated as such.  If they aren't feeding me, then they can leave me the hell alone.

Although yesterday was awesome.  I spent the afternoon.  In a bikini.  On the beach.  Reading.  Last time I checked, it's still January.  Ah-mazing.  I keep this up and I'm going to go home in March with a summer tan.  SCORE.

So - this week.  Working.  Data analysis.  Pound head into wall.  Should be fun.  Stupid software.

ETA:  BF is talking about coming down this weekend.  I keep telling him he shouldn't be spending so much money on coming to see me.  He keeps telling me to shut up.  Hard headed men.

Monday is especially yuck today because I got NO sleep last night. Between falling asleep for 2 hours while studying, and BF's big announcement last night, I just couldn't sleep. I lied in bed for 2 hours wide awake before getting up and trying to do other things, then I tried going back to bed, but lied in bed wide awake for another 3 hours before just getting up 1/2 hour before I had to actually be up.

I'm not looking forward to working on Saturday. Plus work is nuts this week so I'm going to be putting in a bunch of overtime. Although I am looking forward to the extra money!

Peaseblossom55

I hate Mondays.  I barely got any sleep so I was exhausted at work and I thought things would have calmed down but I guess not.  The weekend was good but I didn't get enough sleep.  Good news of the weekend I got cast in the show How to Suceed, looking forward to it.  I am just in the ensemble but I get to dance.  So yay and a good friend of mine is doing it so im excited.
