Thursday Night Party?

Swazzle · December 2013

Herro!

What's everyone up to?

H is stuck at work so I'm drinking my dinner.

CASK85 · December 2013

I'm still at work. DH is on an airplane coming back from Tampa, and he won't be home for at least 2 more hours.

What are you drinking?

audrewuh · December 2013

Facetiming with me and chatting with @buddysmom80 isn't enough?

I see how it is.

Swazzle · December 2013

@CASK85 - Aw how long was he away for? I made a vodka soda with lime.

CASK85 · December 2013

He was gone to CO last week for Thanksgiving, came home Saturday night, and then left Monday morning to go to Tampa for work. So I've been missing him.

He's a consultant so I should be used to him being OOT, but he's been on a local project for a long time, so I've been spoiled. Once we move to MD he'll probably be traveling for work more often.

minskat30 · December 2013

I'm working and waiting for H to Facetime me from India...though I guess he's sleeping right now since it is like 5 am there.

Hopefully by the time he does I won't have drunk all the wine...oh well though if I do....nothing he hasn't seen before.

Going to watch a movie he would bitch about too (Love Actually or something similar). What are you watching @Swazzle?

audrewuh · December 2013

@CASK85 you'll be in MD though and near tiger and everyone else. that will make it a tad bit easier.

audrewuh · December 2013

@minksat30 how excited are you to go to india?

CASK85 · December 2013

@audrewuh - Yeah. I've been crazy busy finishing my thesis, so having him gone was actually a good thing. I would have been crabby with him, I'm sure. Doesn't stop me from missing him. . . especially at bedtime (for cuddling, of course).

minskat30 · December 2013

@Audrewuh - VERY. I'm really dreading the flight but once I get there it is going to be great! H's mom is taking me shopping and I'm buying a very nice sari for our reception she is throwing (which I'm sure is going to be huge knowing her). H's family is so warm and welcoming (and funny...they make fun of each other non-stop, which is totally not how I grew up) so I can't wait to see them again. I think next year we will go in January (assuming I'm not KU or anything) and I'm going to spend more time there so we can take a trip to somewhere like Goa.

minskat30 · December 2013

Wait...isn't the Sound of Music Live on tonight?!? This is totally geeky of me but maybe I'll watch that. H would leave the room if I was watching it and he was here. Have to get all those girl moments in. Maybe I'll watch it with a green face mask on too boot.

Swazzle · December 2013

@CASK85 - When you move to the East Coast you'll have all of us to keep you busy

@minskat - Aw! Do a drunken strip tease for him, just don't fall over hahaha I'm watching Grey's Anatomy. I have an addiction.

audrewuh · December 2013

@CASK85 I know the feel. Whenever I need to focus and work on something, H thinks it's the perfect time to have a small talk conversation and gets his feels hurt when I tell him to STFU.

@minksat30 - please to post pictures of the sari? I think sari's are beautiful There are several indian families in my apartment complex and every Saturday they dress up and go out in them. I'm always jealous.

Where/what is Goa? I could google, but I don't wanna.

suzie211 · December 2013

Hi ladies! I'm here. Waiting for H to get home and a couple friends to come over. My friend G wanted to stop by with her H tonight to give my H hugs (and probably baked goods). I have pretty awesome friends.

audrewuh · December 2013

Hi @suzie211!! How's your H doing?

suzie211 · December 2013

@CASK85. How excited are you for your move?

@minskat30 100% not geeky. I loved that movie as a kid.

Also, anyone else disturbed by the lack of FB on the death of Nelson Mandela. My newsfeed went nuts for Paul Walker. While Paul seemed like a nice guy, he had no where near the impact on society Mandela did. It makes me sad for our world.

smalfrie19 · December 2013

still at work (West Coast..Seattle) waiting to get out of here and go home to FI...

minskat30 · December 2013

@Swazzle - No drunken strip tease since he's staying with his mom and my guess is she's going to be right over his shoulder.

@Audrewuh - Sar's are so pretty. I will definitely post a picture of it and the reception when I get back. I'm a little nervous about it ...everyone who is coming is coming to both celebrate H and my marriage and meet me. H's family isn't judgmental though so it should be fine. Goa is sort of a vacation/beach place in India that has nice relaxation and a fun nightlife. I already went to Agra (where the Taj Mahal is) so I think once was enough there. Why don't you ask the Indian families to dress you up one day? Saris are fun but require an experienced hand to dress you.

suzie211 · December 2013

Hi @audrewuh! H is doing ok, all things considered. Although it's sad to lose his grandfather, it's comforting knowing he lived a long and fulfilling life. So even though his family has lost too many members lately, this one has been the least painful.

minskat30 · December 2013

@Suzie211 - I was thinking the same thing about Nelson Mandela. I was very, very sad to see that news.

minskat30 · December 2013

@Swazzle and, for the record, no sexy time in India either. H's mom insists that we stay with her when we visit (and since we see her like 1-2 times a year, I can't really say no) AND she gives us her room despite my protests. Sexy time in MIL's bed = not so sexy. Three week dry spell = not fun.

Swazzle · December 2013

@Suzie211 - I saw that he passed while I was out walking Lucy this afternoon and I got teary. It's really sad and I think about 5 people mentioned it on FB.

@smalfrie19 - Hi there! What do you do?

@minskat30 - Yea, that might be a little awkward

audrewuh · December 2013

So my newsfeed blew up with Nelson Mandela's death. Y'all just have shitty friends.

JK!

But yea, my facebook has been full of Mandela memorials and articles. That's actually how I found out about it. I was unplugged most of the day.

Mink, I don't know them! They're afraid of my dogs, so I don't usually get to talk to them much, since I'm trying to keep my pups from jumping on them. I have rude dogs.

Suzie, I'm glad your H is taking it in stride. Losing that many family members is really rough.

This is where shower sex comes in handy.

phira · December 2013

My twitter feed is all Nelson Mandela, which makes up for the so-so FB response.

I'm still pretty sick. I had to teach a discussion with my voice terribly hoarse, and my students were awesome about it. I got home and my partner FINALLY shaved his beard. It's so nice to have him clean shaven again, even if I can't make out with him.

I'm just resting now. Had some soup and some ice cream, will probably have tea later. We're playing A Link to the Past. CRAZY NIGHT AMIRITE

smalfrie19 · December 2013

@swazzle I work in customer service/compliance for a regional electronic component distributer...so basically I make sure everything we order comes in on time from our vendors. Or I let our customers know when it won't make it. Its low stress and it pays better than my last job which was an inbound call center for a branded merchandiser.

audrewuh · December 2013

@phira, I'm going to need you to turn town the wild over there.

phira · December 2013

@audrewuh Stop harshing my buzz

H just can't...it a Mom's House thing I think. Last time, we got a hotel when we traveled to another city. I'm thinking I need a "day at the spa" that H has to join me for at a nice hotel.

@Audrewuh - I have a rude dog too, I can relate. He's sweet in person/with direct contact but will bark at people he knows walking their dogs when they walk past our house and he's inside. I don't get it. I tell him "That's our friend X" and he looks at me and grumbles (rrrr, rrrr, rrrr). Cute but rude nonethless.

labro · December 2013

Hi ladies! I'm here now and eating takeout Chinese and drinking wine. I heard about Nelson Mandela on my way home from work today. NPR is playing a bunch of old interviews clips. It made me super sad and reflective. I haven't been on Twitter or Facebook yet so I have no idea what the reactions of my friends are like. It was strange because earlier today I was up at the front of our office talking to our receptionist about her wedding dress and I saw a brief clip on the news that Nelson Mandela was ill...so it must have been shortly before he passed.

minskat30 · December 2013

Mmmm @lmhollister - What kind of Chinese? I'll have to live vicariously...I can't get Chinese take out gluten free to save my life (except for one or two chains).

Thursday Night Party?
