@lmhollister, it was a bit hard but I eliminated anything with pearls there are no pearls on my dress so that made it a lot easier too. So many barrettse have pearls in them.

UGHHHH. Not having a good day.

Woke up at 7:40 (40 minutes after my alarm started going off) to find that J's alarm never went off and he was 30 minutes late for his appointment with the orthopedic specialist. I figure I'll just go back to sleep till 9 and go to the gym after work. I ended up sleeping until almost 9:45 because fuck Daylight Savings Time, and when I did manage to get up, I was 100% exhausted. Like, my arms are tired as I'm typing. I have no idea why.

Before I even left this morning, today became totally crappy:

- J texted me to let me know that they're officially diagnosing his injury as a sprain, but there's a chance that he's either fractured the pad of his hand, or there's an injury to the cartilage between two bones. He has to go back in 2 weeks.

- I usually use powder foundation, but I decided to try liquid foundation, so I bought some from the Body Shop this weekend. It's the same place I get my powder foundation from, and I bought liquid foundation from the same line AND in the same numerical shade as my powder foundation. I applied it this morning in the bedroom, though, "Wow, it looks great!" and then went into the bathroom, where the light is a lot better. Dark orange face. I hope I can return it.

- I lent one of my Macbook Pro chargers to my friend, which meant I had to bring my home charger to work today. There are holes in it. I have to shell out $80 for a new one.

I didn't have the best weekend either. Had to work all day Saturday. Then J got food poisoning on Saturday night while we were out, and because he was drunk when it happened, he was incredibly overly distraught about it, and he ended up getting so hypothermic, he told me he thought he was going to die. He's fine now, but ughhh. Not a relaxing weekend.

WTF is up with today. Yesterday H and I got into a tiff, which we resolved, then my mom and I got into a tiff after that, which we didn't. H and I slept in later than we meant to (he didn't fall asleep until 3 am). I ran to get to my gym class at 9 only to get really sick at the gym (must have eaten gluten cross contanimated food). Gym class was out then. Made it to work after getting sick only to realize my computer was at home. So, now I'm home. I don't plan to leave the house today after the last 24 hours.

@peaseblossom55, so excited about the wedding band! I hope it turns out awesome!

@lmhollister, beautiful headband!

@everyone with dog butt juice problems, my sympathies, lol, that sounds a little miserable.

The rest of this post is just going to be me whining about a somewhat unsatisfactory weekend, so I understand if you're not interested in my negativity. I just need to vent a little bit. (ETA: or a lot! Holy multiple paragraphs, Batman!)

To start, the concert on Friday got canceled, and I asked if my friend wanted to go get dinner or something anyway, but she and her FI decided to look at wedding bands instead. That doesn't make her a bad friend or anything; it just kind of drove home that I'm rather single while most of my friends are rather attached, and now I have nothing to do on my Friday night. Just some shameless self-pity. So I went to the gym and then came home to watch Playing for Keeps, which I've had from Netflix for over a month, and it sucked, in my opinion. I'm not much of a rom-com person.

I worked all day Saturday on the project my boss gave me, and I basically spent 12 hours getting nowhere. I feel like she didn't give me anything I needed to do this right; had she given me the information I needed to do these presentations a month ago when she first assigned me the project, this would have been manageable. As it is, last week she gave me a rushed tutorial on a process my job doesn't even require me to know, and then I spent all weekend trying to put together teaching materials on it. I know she wanted to give me an opportunity to get more hours and maybe bolster my resume a little bit before graduation, but I'm not sure they'll be able to use what I put together. I told her I could come back today and work for a couple more hours on it if needed, but she hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'm in school, I've got exams this week; I can't spend any more time on it!

Then on Sunday my friend (concert friend's sister) cancelled on me for Frozen, so I still haven't seen that, and I'm probably more upset about it than I should be. She keeps saying she wants to go see it with me, and then when we make plans they ALWAYS get cancelled. But she DID want me to come over to her sister's new house and do stuff with them there. I'm having a hard time with this; lately everything we do together has been about the wedding or the house or something, and I just wanted to go to the movies and stick with the plans we made and NOT do a bunch of wedding/domestic stuff, just for one afternoon. So I let my disappointment kind of get the best of me and just said I needed to get to work on studying for exams that evening (which was true). So I went over to a nursing friend's house and we studied from noon until, like, 7, and weirdly, it made me feel so much better. And then I watched TWD last night and all I can say...ends up becoming spoilers, so I'll wait until everyone has seen it. At least this episode was more interesting than they have been recently.

Annnnd this morning I'm a little peeved at my mechanic's shop. It sucks; they do good work on the car and are usually pretty good at communicating with me as far as, "This is why you need a driving belt," and stuff specifically about the work they're doing. But scheduling stuff with them is a PITA because their receptionist/administrative dude is a hot mess (for example, on Friday he sent me home after my oil change and then asked me to come back because he forgot to get a part number so he could order the appropriate driving belt for today's repair. Then this morning when I came in he told me the part wasn't there yet, so I decided to see if someone could give me a ride home so I wouldn't have to wait; then when I finally found someone and told him, he was like, "Oh, it got here a little while ago, it should be ready soon"); plus, they are just a little too expensive and a little too far away from me to keep using them with this kind of stuff. Soooooo yeah. Kind of annoyed about that this morning.

Random, but here is something a friend posted on FB this morning, which I found absolutely horrifying. Sometimes I'm convinced we're taking this technology thing too far. CLICKY

CLoGreenEyes · March 2014

Another random: just got my friend's wedding invitation in the mail. I especially enjoyed the part where she listed their registries, and the other part where they requested that guests add 30 minutes to their travel time so they can start the ceremony promptly. Normally wouldn't bother me this much, but I'm feeling a wee bit crabby right now. Probably some chocolate would help, at least in keeping my mouth occupied so I don't say something I'll regret.

labro · March 2014

@CLoGreenEyes That app is just...ugh...I can't even.

KeptInStitches · March 2014

@cocobellaf, @twodimes, @swazzle - They're dark and kind of crappy, but here's a couple of pics - one with my glasses on and one without.

phira · March 2014

@KeptInStitches I think they look fine! I used to overpluck my brows, so I tend to notice that right away.

@CLoGreenEyes But if they didn't tell you to leave 30 extra minutes, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW TO ARRIVE ON TIME?!

Swazzle · March 2014

@KeptInStitches - I think they look great! I 100% would not side eye your eyebrows.

CLoGreenEyes · March 2014

@KeptInStitches, they are perfect! Not even just saying that, they really are.

KeptInStitches · March 2014

D'aww, thanks, everyone! BF told me they were fine, but he would lie to me to make me feel better. I'm not used to taking all the stray hairs from the bottom, so I wasn't sure if that's where my natural brow was anymore. Plus I'm in grad school so I've been in this funk of "can't wear makeup, can't style my hair, why bother trying" where my appearance is concerned (which explains the rest of my face that you can see).

Funny story: when I was 15 I tried waxing my own eyebrows at home with an at-home cold wax kit. Those little sticker paper guides they give you? Yeah, they don't stop wax from going under them. I waxed off half my left eyebrow. Thank goodness it grew back in.

@lmhollister, what a beautiful headband!

DST had me all confused yesterday.

And it was a crazy day at work. Everything that could happen did, lol. I'm just thankful that nothing severe happened, because we're very time-based at work. When we have someone who is a "special needs" inmate (either suicidal, acting combative, or in restraints), we have to write down what they're doing every 15-30 minutes or so (depending on the circumstance), and there were several times our times were an hour off because our clock hadn't been changed yet. Hopefully they'll have that fixed by the time I go in today.

Dirtybella1 · March 2014

I think this is the first time that a time change has really affected me. Usually I just go on with my day. But this morning when my alarm went off to go work out I reset it for an hour later, when that went off I reset for another half hour. It was rough dragging myself out of bed this morning! I think part of it was also because I worked really long hours over the weekend which is out of the ordinary for me.

I posted a few times a month or so ago and work got super crazy so I haven't been back. I'm making it a point to visit and post more!

doubleSS07 · March 2014

Yesterday was a total waste of a weekend day as I was also nursing a hangover. God it's so much harder to recover when you are old! Since I did squat yesterday, I had the pleasure of waking up to my alarm going off that was an hour behind. This resulted in me shouting (as I'm jumping out of bed) "holy shit it's 6:30 not 5:30, I have to leave the house right NOW" I managed to make it to work a little early since it's spring break and traffic is a bit better. This is good because I had a few minutes to throw on some makeup. I got a bitchy email from a girl in the other office this morning. She only sent it to myself and a co-worker which is interesting because generally she copies EVERYONE on her emails. Since she decided to be such a jerk in the email I was a dear and forwarded it on to my boss rather than emailing her back to tell her what I think of her...deep breaths.

lmcooper86 · March 2014

DST has me all fuzzy. I overslept and rushed like a mad thing to get ready for work and then left my lunch on my counter (which I didn't realize until I got down to the lobby). Good thing I went back up though, because I'd also forgotten a watch and earrings (which I feel naked without) AND I forgot to leave hard food for the cat.

I am feeling a bit stabby today towards: the super slow elevator doors in my building, the dipshit who emailed me about the same issue 3 times this weekend, and my crazy split ends.

Also, BF is now free to come over this evening, which I didn't think was happening. Don't get me wrong, I'll be happy to see him, but I was sort of looking forward to an evening of drinking wine and cleaning my apartment...I feel bad for not 100% wanting him to come over.

phira · March 2014

@lmcooper86 Right before I moved in with J, I had my best friend stay with me for a week (I lived with roommates, so she slept in my bed with me for that whole week). I had one single night between when she went home and when J moved into my apartment temporarily, and oh my god. I never wanted that night to end. I love my friend, and I love J with all my heart and love living with him, but UGH I really just wanted to be alone.

KeptInStitches · March 2014

Holy cow I can get a haircut tonight! Usually my stylist is scheduling 2-3 weeks out.

Pepperally · March 2014

Sorry, but right now I can't even continue reading this whole thread...if I read the phrase "butt juices" one more time, my co-workers are going to think I'm crazy for LOLing so much!
