  • Huynhette - that is awesome! as Tim Gunn woudl say, you're making it work!
  • @thebaysidebride - Good luck on TY cards. I'm glad you are getting on them now.
    @Xstatic3333- Good Luck let us know how it goes. I used to do the same thing like 45 min in the car early. What kind of position?
  • I put off filing my grad school paperwork for so long they withheld my tuition waiver. Today has been spent walking around the campus in the 90 degree heat and 100% humidity (or at least it feels like 100%). Excellent way to make me do my paperwork, huh?
  • I'm leaving for Milwaukee on Saturday for our wedding in 10 days and I'm making lists upon lists. My desk is covered lists. I have this horrible feeling I'll accidentally leave something behind!
  • It's an environmental education and outreach position with a local nonprofit. I just finished my environmental science masters but I also have a teaching background so it's pretty much my dream job! But, I'm staying calm. It's rough out there these days, and everything is so competitive.

    @thebaysidebride TYs are my long weekend goal. Good luck!
  • @aliciaharrison - I am with you on that one. Currently don't have any plans, just excited for the break


    HAHA Maggie! Thats awesome. I considered the no bra thing for a good 10 min. I work in my own office so people only come in when they need something and my hair is technically long enough to cover up any nipp-age but I couldn't do it.

    Here's a doozy...

    I'm 6 months pregnant and am still not excited about the baby. It's not unplanned, I'm just not filled with motherly joy and glow. I'm awful. :-p

     

    You are not awful!  Anyways that will all change when he/she makes his/her first appearance into the world.

  • I let the kids I nanny for watch an hour of TV today for my own sanity. Their parents are super strict about not letting them have ANY electronics but I told them if they didn't make a big deal out of it I would let them watch a movie. I wish I had half the energy they had!
  • hahaha you guys made my day, these are SO FUNNY. 8 TYs down.

    I have a two-part confession: 

    Part 1: A coworker made cake for someone's birthday & brought me a piece. I took a bite, because CAKE, and it was disgusting! I think it was supposed to be strawberry cake, but not really because it didn't taste like strawberries. It tasted like soap, tears, and fake fruit. The icing was good, so I just ate that and threw the cake part away. Then, I adjusted the trash so the piece of cake is not visible in case she stops by my office again. 

    Part 2: I was so traumatized from the taste of that cake that I ate a snack pack of Oreos.

    Confession: I lied. I ate two snack packs of Oreos.

    Awesome!

    *Treks off to find some Oreos*

  • @ElcaB - worst thing ever is to be given a piece of cake only for it to taste like crap.  I probably would have shed a tear for the poor cake that nobody probably loved.

  • itzMS You're not awful, being pregnant can suck big time, and it's hard to love someone you haven't met yet.  It took me until the second that I actually saw my DD's little face to fall in love, and then it happened instantly.

  • 1) My FI and I "officially" started eating healthier to try to lose some weight for our wedding, but "Aunt Flo" made her visit and all I've been eating doritos, froyo, Dominos, and a couple mickey D's smoothies. Gonna hide that scale when I get home!

    2) Spent the day lurking on these boards and "researching" invites instead of getting all the paperwork done for the college kids that I'm in charge of moving into their apartments this weekend. Oops...

    It really is feeling like a Friday to me...

  • I lied about why I came late to work today. It wasn't a last minute prescription pick up. It was FF xiv.

  • I just found out how to fix the under-wire from poking out of your bras (pinterest is awesome sometimes) and have just finished the mountain of mine (because apparently I'm a bra hoarder) and have just returned from raiding my sister's drawer as well! Surrounded by bras with moleskin in hand to fix them! 

    Right before a big meeting on campus last year - my bra decided to spontaneously comBUST (lol see what I did there?) and I had to Mygyver the thing with paperclips and rubber bands. After the meeting I gave up and used some tape from my bosses desk to hold the important bits down and ditched the bra until I could get home!

  • We're ditching out on DS's first grade back to school night because yesterday someone gave FI 8th row, 30 yard line tickets for the Broncos-Carndinals game tonight.   Football over education and parental involvement.   Pretty sure the teacher will still be there to meet another time.
  • More! This thread is already one of my favorites. Keep 'em coming, GIFS encouraged.
