^^ Had to share that little guy, isn't he cute?!

How's everybody doing today? I still have my cold but I'm tired of being sick so I'm going to try to at least act more normal/alert today.

D'awwww!

I'm doing well today but I'm a little cranky. We got 8 inches of snow yesterday and another 8 is on its way starting late tonight. I can't even think about the storm we're getting this weekend or I'll probably cry. I'm going to flip my shit if it interferes with my boozy brunch plans with @buddysmom80 and @hummingbird125.

I am, however, very grateful for being a renter this winter. H and I left for the Devils game last night and when we got home, the snow had stopped, and the sidewalk and steps were completely shoveled

Dignity100 · February 2014

@Swazzle I'm SO sick of the snow and cold this year!! We're 'scheduled' for 10 inches tonight/tomorrow. I will probably have to fire up the snow thrower (which is fine) and need to talk to my boss about working from home tomorrow.

I still feel like I'm waking up this morning. I have a bunch of meetings today and one of them is really stressing me out so it started popping up in my dreams around 5 or so this morning and I didn't get a lot of sleep after that. Hopefully my hot tea will get me feeling more alert soon.

The one thing I am looking forward to today is our tasting with another caterer this evening. We had a tasting with the company who catered @southernpeach89 's wedding in January and they were great but I am really really really excited for this tasting. This company catered for my sister's RD and they had the most amazing delicious food ever! They're somewhat more expensive than the other caterer...but I really love them and they really seem to dedicate themselves to using fresh, locally sourced, organic ingredients as much as possible. Plus the woman who runs the company is probably the coolest person ever. It's going to be a tough decision for me. I feel really torn between the budget and the company I love. They aren't grossly over budget for just food and staff...but I know once taxes and fees are added in they'll probably be over by about $900 to 1kish.

Last night I got my hair cut and highlighted. I'm really happy with the cut but I'm second guessing the highlights this morning. They look so much lighter now than they did in the salon. It'll probably just take a few washes and a little getting used to I guess. I killed some time yesterday before my hair appointment at Pottery Barn and registered for a few things too. I'll probably go more crazy at Macy's. We've lived together for over a year and we were both living on our own before that so we have most things...but I definitely plan on upgrading and adding to our linens, registering for some small appliances that we have or I want a better version of, stuff like that.

we have freezing rain this morning (ugh) and then Thurs, Fri, and Sat we're supposed to get some snow. I don't know how much. we had a few inches on Sun morning that still hasn't melted so now we have this freezing rain and sleet on top of it. it has been an active winter for sure!

I am pretty sleepy today. I woke up at 4:09 AM and just kind of dozed on and off until my alarm at 5:30. I've got a hot cup of tea (I've had a sore throat for a few days) but I may need to grab some coffee, too. good thing my only plans tonight are to work out, cook dinner, and do laundry. it's an easy night!

@Swazzle, we aren't renters but on Sunday while I was taking a nap one of our neighbors cleared our driveway. I thought that was so nice!

Last night I had a Zumba class at 8pm and it was freezing out. I forgot to wear boots and my sneakers were soaking wet since they did a bang-up job plowing the parking lot at the gym.

Tomorrow we're supposed to get more snow, fuck that. Also they're predicting between 3-30" for Saturday. I'm annoyed if I can't see @swazzle and @hummingbird125 this weekend I'm going to be pissed.

I'm really stressed out at work. FI is reassuring me over and over that I won't lose my job over something stupid, he works in IT so he knows the ins and outs of how email is filtered. Long story short, my work e-mail address and personal e-mail address is the same except for the domain. We had to get our W2s electronically in PDF format. They ended up being e-mailed to my work e-mail, so I'm like "well, I don't want to do my taxes at work" so I send it to my personal e-mail. Right after that I get this automated email from the security systems office telling me that I sent patient info and next time to encrypt it (wtf is that even???) and if I have any questions to ask my manager. So I'm freaking out, my manager is out until Wednesday so I don't know if she was notified. Our employer has a 0 tolerance policy for any HIPAA-related violation so I'm hoping someone somewhere realized I was sending my W2s to myself and I won't lose my job, but I'm prepared to be escorted out Wednesday.

In the end I did my taxes at work, and finally the "joys" of being a homeowner paid off, big time, so I'm able to do a ton of upgrades to the wedding now. I realllllly want to put a new half bathroom in, but I have years to do that. If anything, we'll get blown-in insulation done this summer.

Tonight nothing exciting planned except for the gym and catching up on DVR.

CLoGreenEyes · February 2014

@buddysmom80, I'm sure you won't lose your job!

Freaky email to get right after sending it, but I'm sure they'll realize you were just sending yourself your W2. It would be crazy to dump a good employee over something like this.

All I have to report for this morning is that I woke up with "Whip My Hair" stuck in my head. So random...

Dignity100 · February 2014

@buddysmom80 - most of those filters like that are just automated. They probably saw your SSN on the forms and flagged it as 'patient data'. Try not to worry too much, I think you'll be fine and I think they'll see that you were emailing your own W2 data (and not medical data) to yourself. I think you're good, but I worry about stuff like that too!!

buddysmom80 · February 2014

@clogreeneyes & @dignity100 yeah that's what FI said. I'm such a HIPAA freak at my job, it's been a running joke for years, so I ALWAYS freak out about this stuff.

Peaseblossom55 · February 2014

I'm really sick of the cold and all the snow. I think we got close to 6-7 inches. We have a very long driveway too, FI & I were out for almost 2 hours shoveling and using the snow blower. @swazzle are we really supposed to get another 8 inches tonight? I thought it would just be rain/sleet and ice (not that, that is any better).

I'm supposed to have rehearsal tonight. My friend had her baby yesterday, she named her Cassandra, Cassie for short. I can't wait to actually meet her. It's so weird seeing a lot of my close friends have babies this year. At least I'll have friends with experience when it's my turn next year. I wish I was working from home again today.

Blackbird230 · February 2014

More snow on the way tonight. Only good thing is I'm going to FI's to wait out the snow and avoid a parking ban. I think I may be coming down with something so possibly just taking a sick day tomorrow. We'll see. I really don't want to be at work this morning. No motivation and just so blah.

Hummingbird125 · February 2014

Hey all! After more than a week of hardly having anything to do, I'm back to "work". I'm babysitting for the rest of the week and also doing some other tasks for the kid's dad's business. First up today is digging out my car (I cleaned it off yesterday afternoon, so hopefully it's not too bad). I got three Etsy orders this weekend, so I need to do some work to send those out today/tomorrow.

I feel gross today - I know I ate too much all weekend, and I think I ate a little too much yesterday too. Unfortunately, I probably won't get to the gym until Thursday, so I REALLY need to clean up my act eating-wise. I have exactly 4 months until I want to be at my goal weight, and I didn't leave myself much room for slacking.

FI has been really focused on his job lately, in a good way. He was given a project and it's going well, and he's been obsessed with working on it lately. I don't even mind (too much) that he's on his computer late into the night because I've never seen him so happily motivated about his job (he's usually just worried/stressed).

I also cannot WAIT for brunch with @Swazzle & @buddysmom80!!! I thiiiiink we'll get it in before the snow...

I still sat in major traffic this morning again...I don't know what's going on with people. I've been commuting this drive for almost 2 months and haven't had this bad of traffic yet. It's super annoying and puts me in a sour mood.

Today has already been chaotic at work...so many things to do and my brain already feels exhausted. Tonight we are going back to CrossFit and hopefully doing our taxes later. I bought supplies to make a V-day wreath and I need to go get some garden wire and then I will embark on making this wreath! So excited about it.

I'm making baked sweet potatoes tonight with dinner...I've never had one before so I'm very interested to see how they turn out.

labro · February 2014

@southernpeach89 Why are you making wreaths without me???? I have ALL the burlap!

KeptInStitches · February 2014

Already had a meeting this morning. Lab work to do today. BF has a side job he's prepping for tonight. I should clean and freeze meals. Don't know if I will or not. I'm so blamed sick of this insomnia, I never take meds but I'm thinking Unisom and I might be good friends for a couple of nights.

[Deleted User] · February 2014

@lmhollister- I already told you that I'm not using regular burlap...I'm using red burlap which you said you don't have lol. You can come over whenever to make wreaths with me but I still needed to buy new supplies.

phira · February 2014

I had so much trouble sleeping. I mean, that's been the name of the game all year so far, but it was awful last night. I maybe got three hours of sleep and I'm already super sleep-deprived. It was a legitimate struggle to get out of bed.

Today, I've got a bunch of experiments to run and a homework assignment to complete. I've done 1 part of it, and another part will be easy to complete, but the last part will be tough. Basically, I have to learn some programming and the people teaching the course are absolutely terrible at teaching it to non-programmers. My friend and my cousin, both programmers, have had to help me with every single assignment (yes, I've asked the instructors for help; they always "explain stuff" and then leave me to try to figure the rest out ... and I have no idea).

I pretty desperately need to go to the gym. Insomnia has made that hard; I've been working late hours (like 12-8) and even when I've felt up for the gym, it's been too close to closing time. Hopefully tomorrow will work out.

I have to work tomorrow no matter what, but it looks like the snow is going to be pretty terrible. I think we're supposed to get a lot of snow starting at 3am, and then it's going to be worse from 9-12, and continue till 5pm. @LivLeighton I hope you get the day off! I'm hoping the university closes; at least class will be cancelled and my partner J will have the day off.
