Waaaaaake uuuuuup!!
Morning! Happy Tuesday! 
How are ya? I was just reading Bheartsb's thread and when she mentioned her tiny box of a 700sqft apartment, I started giggling. Our house in MI is 800, and the apartment we lived in, in Italy was maybe about 450-500. Yeeeaaaaahhhh.... lol

My first apartment was 805 sq ft and I thought it was enormous (it was a 2 bedroom) then I got a 1 bed that was like 500 sq ft and I still thought it was huge. I'm sure living alone in a 1 bed makes a big difference then it would with 2 people.
Anyhow, my plans for the day are work and then making dinner with Jocelyn. T has to coach some private soccer lessons so it'll be a quiet night. My life is soooo exciting.
We just finished dinner and are about to watch the new episodes of Top Gear (yes, we're geeks)
It looks like H got the job. He trains Wed/Thurs and has salary negotiations on Friday. But honestly, if he wants to stay in OZ he'll take what ever they offer.
And to weigh in on the size debate, it's all a matter of perspective. When my family moved from upstate NY to SC when I was in high school, we "downsized" to a 2500 SF house, and it seemed tiny.
I have no plans for today other than work for 10 hours, go home and take a nap, and prepare to cry yet again as I watch Deadliest Catch.
Waiting for the coffee to finish so I can wake up a bit. Another work day. Blargh...

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Waaaaaake uuuuuup!! : I didn't cry last week but it was really uncomfortable watching it. I don't think I'm ready to see how everyone takes hearing the news this week.

I didn't cry until closer to the end, once when Phil was saying good-bye to Jake before he went to rehab and then when Josh got the call from the doc in the car, then had to call Jake.
And yeah, it will be hard seeing all the reactions to the news.
:::slides into thread Risky Business style, but with pants on:::
and I'm back! Plans for today? Work and then going out to dinner with FI and my grandparents and maybe my dad and the kids.
I inexplicably woke up 45 minutes early today and just laid there thinking about wedding crap, I can't wait until it's here and I can stop thinking about it, haha.

My wedding-planning-related-energy has been renewed today for some reason. So I'm trying to get some things done while I still *want* to. Photosharing cards are done, RD invites are done, sent our song list to the DJ, and started our "must have" photo list. Whew! It's not even 9:00am.
FI and I live in a 1,100 sq ft apartment and it's not big enough for us. We're storing stuff in both my parents' basement and his brothers' garage. Oy!
Married!
Married!
And I, too will probably cry tonight watching Deadliest Catch. I liked the way they edited it last week and didn't make it overly emotional. I guess because it's mostly a guys show, they didn't want to scare their audience away.
[QUOTE]Oh, I take it he was ill then, not a random accident. Intriguing.

He had a stroke / heartattack (i forget which) while on the boat so it took hours for him to get medical care. Then they were commenting on how much he progress and how well he was doing and recovering and then he had another incident and died. He was one of the best ship captains too. He had 2 sons that were on his boat so you really got a sense of how much he cared for his family and vice versa.

He had a series of strokes. It was pretty difficult because he was making amazing progress in his recovery, and then had another stroke that he didn't survive.
I think they handled airing the whole thing really well, but tonight will be hard. For some reason seeing the impact of the loss on other people is harder than the loss itself for me.

He had a stroke (heavy smoker) and then was improving after a brain operation. Then he had another stroke and died. He insisted that the crew keep filming in between strokes, because he wanted the story to "have an ending".

I said this to H while we watched the last episode, but don't they always say that really sick people get amazingly better right before they get worse or die? I was thinking about that and I really think it's true.
[QUOTE]Good morning. I'm pissy and distracted today. I lost my watch and I HATE losing things. I get really obsessive about it and can't stop looking, long after I've realized that whatever it is, it's gone. Last night I tore our house up and today I keep feeling like my wrist is itchy where my watch should be. Not to mention, it was a really nice watch that H had given me.

You know the first place I look for lost items is the refrigerator. I have no idea why, but I always feel silly afterwards. Maybe it's a subconcious connection with stress and food. ;)

I've lost 4 family members to terminal illnesses, and no, that's not been true in the cases I've seen, ever. They go from bad to worse to coma and slip away. I'm pretty sure "moment of clarity where everything is fine" is a movie/TV creation, mostly (although I'm sure it happens occasionally in real life, in my experience, it's not the rule).
two years!

<div>Silly it may be, but not only did I empty the freezer, fridge and pantry, I also checked inside all the pots and pans. :-)</div>
