Tuesday Chatter
Morning ladies! How are you today?
This morning was weird. I was about a block from home, on my way to the train, and I walked by a guy sitting in his SUV and there was a dog in the front seat with him that looked exactly like Star. He stared at me when I walked by. So many things ran through my head! 1) What if he's the guy that abandoned her and he's planning to do the same with this dog? 2) What if he knows the person that abandoned her and he is looking for her and the dog with him is the one that was used to breed with her? I wish I could have hung around and investigated but stupid work got in the way! I will be keeping an eye out a little more closely tonight and tomorrow morning.

Re: Tuesday Chatter
I had a nice morning so far. Took a shower, made some coffee, then watched some of "The Business of Being Born" in bed. It's really interesting.
Anyways, I just want to get through today - I have a feeling its going to be a looooong, dragging type of day. I'm actually looking forward to going to the ob-gyn tomorrow because it means leaving work an hour early and going to the nice shopping center, where the office is. I may go shopping after :-)
@swazzle I hope they don't abandon another dog! I wish someone would find Star's puppies too, was it confirmed she had a litter recently? I can't remember
Today I have a meeting with my new big boss and I'm nervous because I might have to negotiate a little bit. I left this depeartment originally because I wanted a M-F, 8-4:30 job. I still need those hours and if I go back to this department, they're not guaranteed. So, if she can't guarantee stable hours, I may have to change departments or resign next year. I will NOT be happy if I have to leave.
My MOH told me the date of my bridal shower (October 11th), so that's cool and I have to give her a guest list and that's all I know. I was surprised she was going to do anything since she's been really busy with school. She legit is getting her MLS in two years, it's crazy.
I have to pay my venue today, she sent me a fee schedule for only 50 guests and someone (ME) forgot to tell her that we're up to 64 guests...BRIDE FAIL
After I pay her, I have to order invites!!!!!! For some reason I'm really excited about this.
Tonight I'm going to watch Masters of Sex, play with the kittens and have leftovers for dinner.
The kittens are crazy active. They were playing from 6am this morning until I left for work.
This is my PMS week so I'm feeling super tired, super bloated, and I have an awful headache. All I wanna do is sleep. I am officially accepting the job I was offered on Friday. I called her yesterday to talk about the pay and told her I wanted to discuss it with FI before I made any decisions. FI and I talked about it and decided I should accept it!
Tonight we are finishing our Thank You cards for the shower and hopefully looking around for some new living room decor. I get bored easily and decided I wanted to change the colors in our living room. We bought a really nice canvas painting and new pillows to match and some shelves, so I really want to find a couple other wall hangings and knick knacks for the shelves.
I'm on the struggle bus today. Stayed up super late last night talking with FI about stupid FMIL drama. Normally I'm not one to get caught up in stuff like this, but the way she are FFIL are treating FI is just not okay.
Now that I'm done venting, the rest of today is looking pretty good. I'm going to dinner with some of my favorite coworkers to discuss procedures for handling a difficult client. I'm trying to look at it as an opportunity for positive change. Then I'll go home and hang out with Dave until bedtime.
I didn't sleep well at ALL last night, so I'm tired and grumpy. I have a meeting in about 20 minutes, but I'd rather be at home and in bed. if I didn't have that meeting, I probably would have come in late.
@hummingbird125 I've watched Business of Being Born, and it's so accurate with what happens at a hospital. Still, I wouldn't want to do the home birth thing, give me drugs.
@swazzle keep me updated with Star, I don't think you're pestering!
@severmilli12 I get the itch to decorate too, I'm dying to paint a room in the house, we just have paint samples on the wall.
@keptinstiches good luck with the new office! Hopefully it's not in a basement like mine is!
@cocobellaf FI and I have done that before with defrosted meat. And the dishwasher. We had dirty dishes in the dishwasher (like 6) and FI ran the dishwasher. I'm like "what are you doing???"
@Buddysmom80 - The girls want to take me out on Oct 11 too. I think we're going to a spa and dinner for my bridal shower. Happy planning!!
@Severmilli12 - YAY for the job!!
@KeptInStitches - Hope you get a great office!
I'm here at work... I have Thursday off because of how busy things have been.
My ring finger is still swollen and stiff - no idea what I did to it. My e-ring fits on my right hand, so I'm wearing it there for now.
I had an irrational irritation this morning and need to vent - I was on my Disney Wedding site and somebody was talking about getting married before the end of this year for 'tax purposes' and not telling anybody but the officiant and how it was ok because many DW brides do that. It just made me mad that they would have all their guests spend a bunch of $$ and take time out of work for a PPD. I advised them not to because if people found out it could jeapordize their relationships with their guests, hopefully they listen.
@dignity100 the only planning I have to do is give her a guest list and with the exception of my dad's friend's wives and FI's CW's wives, everyone else is invited. I hate surprises so I'm glad she gave me a date.
@cocobellaf I think you'll be okay. Our new routine is that FI takes the meat out before he goes to work and when I get home it's in the sink defrosted and I'll usually 1) put it in the fridge until I cook it or 2) cook it right away.
Morning all,
It's all rainy and gross here today, I really wanted to stay in bed!
Despite that I actually got ready and left on time today (which I didn't think would happen, I stayed in bed longer than I should've and had to shave my legs), and the subway was surprisingly cooperative and I was actually early for work! I do have a ton of files and emails to go through today, so I need to try and be productive.
Tonight I'll be watching last night's bachelorette (@southernpeach89 I know what happens to, but obviously will still be watching) and making something for dinner...not sure what the plan is there yet. And playing with the cat because I was out late last night after work and he is sad that he was all alone.
@Swazzle - I hope it's not the same dog or same jerkoff that abandoned her. Fingers crossed there's nothing weird going on!
@buddysmom80 - Whoo hoo invites! I ordered a sample kit from Minted and it arrived yesterday...I am excited to look through that stuff tonight, I like a lot of their designs and FI and I want to decide on STDs and get those ordered in the next few weeks.
@severmilli12 etc - I want to redecorate my living room so badly, but FI and I are planning on buying a condo in the next few months so there is no point. I am so bored with my living room, I can't wait to get to decorate a new space lol
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Buddysmom80 - Good luck with the chat with your boss. Fingers and toes crossed it goes ok.
@Dignity100 - I swear some people don't care about how a wedding will impact relationships at all. My sister and BIL went to one this last weekend that had a two hour gap...what the hell are people going to do with two hours to kill?
@blabla89 - Sorry for the family drama. What does your FI have to say about it?
Today is gloomy, weather wise. I'm just hoping to get through the day, hit the gym tonight and curl up with H and the pup this evening with a glass of wine. The pup is getting groomed by a new groomer so fingers crossed they don't do something stupid (I told them NO SHAVING...he has a double coat that really should never be shaved). Hope they listen and he comes back smelling like roses. The pup will get extra special food tonight for his trouble.
I'm tired I had weird dreams and I kept worrying I was going to sleep past my alarm for some odd reason.
@southernpeach89 I'm so jealous of your lunch today.
My day will be rather boring I can guess. H is working from home so the installers can do an exact measurement for the countertops and we'll probably get our install date at today too. Today the DMV is open late so after work I'm getting my name changed on my license. I still have quite a long list of things to update with my new name. I did a lot of cooking last night, I made a dinner for H & I. Then I made a fresh pot of tomato sauce and some vegan stuffed shells.
Yesterday H brought home this gigantic zucchini a co-worker gave him from his garden at home. I'm thinking zucchini bread but I'm not sure what else to do with it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unacceptable. My sister and her H ended up going home, getting out of their finary, going to someone's home and drinking with friends. They were late to the reception as a result but, IMHO, that is what the bride and groom get.
@blackbird230 I hope your appointment goes well! I hate getting blood drawn too
