Friday Chatter!

Swazzle · August 2014

TGIF! This week has been a rough one so I'm more glad than usual that it's Friday.

I had my follow up appointment with my orthopedic surgeon last night and the good news is that my ligament isn't totally torn so I don't need to have surgery! WOO! I have a severe ankle sprain so he gave me two options: 1) wear the boot he gave me 2 weeks ago that I admitted to only wearing for 3 days (I WAS ON VACATION!) or 2) get a hard cast. So, I'll be wearing my boot for the next 4 weeks. I also have physical therapy 3x a week for 8 weeks. The boot is super attractive... See:

Next on the list of I'm-now-29-so-body-fall-apart is to schedule an appointment for a breast MRI. My doctor didn't feel any lumps but the nipple inversion isn't normal obviously so I have to see a specialist and in order to make that appointment, I need an MRI first. I also had blood work done to test some hormone level so hopefully I get those results back soon!

I would like my body to calm itself now, please and thank you!

On a super happy note: @GoldenPenguin will be at my house in like... TEN HOURS. I'm going to snuggle her face RIGHT off. @buddysmom80 and @csousa1 might also come tonight but if not tonight then they're picking up @hummingbird125 tomorrow morning and heading down. I AM SO EXCITED I COULD PEE!

@Swazzle (<<this isn't really needed since you started the thread, right?) Goodness! Way to be on top of getting your body sorted out and better.

I'm super glad it is Friday and in only two more Fridays I will be prepping for vacation!!!

Swazzle · August 2014

@tuarceatha - I'm jealous of your vacation! You guys are going to have the best time EVER.

buddysmom80 · August 2014

@swazzle please don't fall apart, we have a trip to NOLA and my Granny ass can't be pushing you around in a wheelchair on bourbon street.

This morning has been crazy. I woke up alone, FI was sleeping on the couch (this rarely happens) and it annoyed me. Quigley has been jumping at the baby gate to the upstairs because kittens and he just knocked it down which annoyed FI. Then we figured out that Quigley being a spaniel is obsessed with a cat toy made of feathers up there so we brought that down and now he's not going BSC at the baby gate. He is now obsessed with the trash can that the feather toy is in now.

I also asked FI this morning to clean the bathroom since @csousa1 is coming down tonight and I hate cleaning the bathroom and FI hasn't done that yet and has no plans to either.

Today I'm off so I'm cleaning the house, going to the post office and hopefully getting a pedicure. @csousa1 comes down and we're either leaving tonight for @swazzle's house or tomorrow.

Hummingbird125 · August 2014

I am SOOOO happy it's Friday. This week wasn't bad, but who doesn't love a Friday, regardless?

I'm happy because FI is working from home today, so I get to hold him responsible for cleaning the apartment and for playing with the pup. Around 8pm tonight, friends of ours are coming over and we're going to go to a few different bars right up the street from our apartment. I'm super excited about these plans because we don't have to drive ANYWHERE and when we're ready to go home, I'll be able to be in bed within 5 minutes of leaving the bar. This is my kind of night out :-)

If all goes according to (my) plan, @buddysmom80 and @csousa1 will decide to go to @Swazzle 's house tomorrow morning instead of tonight, and they'll pick me up on their way there. I'll even buy them BEC sandwiches or iced coffee or BOTH. And they will get to meet my furbaby. Then we'll go to @Swazzle 's house, and spend the day eating all the foods and drinking all the drinks, and maybe we'll even go out at night.

Sunday I guess I'll wind up back at home eventually, and have to do the annoying things like laundry and food shopping, but let's not think about that now, ok?

@buddysmom80, @hummingbird125 -

500days · August 2014

@swazzle- no worries about your boot, way better than a cast! And probably more attractive. I'm sure it will be off before you know it :-)

It's so beautiful today, I have no idea what to do (I'm so indecisive). Watching the weather channel now trying to figure it out. Tonight I want to go bowling because I bought this groupon for 2 hours and it's going to expire tomorrow. I wish I could remember to use my groupons right after I buy them.

Tomorrow my BFF is coming down from Worcester and we are going to a festival by the beach. It's totally her "thing" but I'm always down for some beers, food trucks and music. Hopefully it will be some good time spent together because we really haven't been hanging out like we used to, which makes me a little sad. She's recently divorced, and I am very good friends with the ex-husband- so it's difficult for now, but I expect it to get less awkward in time. My wedding is something we don't really talk about, and I'd like to change that because she's in the wedding party. But I'm going to hold off until I know she's in a better place. Sorry for the tangent.

On Sunday FI has the day off so we may head down to Newport and hang with some friends, grill and swim. If the weather is shitty then we will probably go shopping and watch a movie. Then I will watch my shows at night. Might as well enjoy now, since next week is time to face the music. I will be returning to work and I am so not ready!

Hummingbird125 · August 2014

@buddysmom80 - FI has only slept on the couch a number of times and it really annoys me too. I wake up and am like "WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO BED???!" Last night I went to bed early and he stayed up playing scrabble on his phone and drinking wine (SUCH a man), and came to bed at 2am and woke me up to tell me about his plans for today. I can't even.

Dignity100 · August 2014

@Swazzle - Rock that boot!! Hope they can figure out what's wrong and fix your boob soon!! At least you'll have an awesome weekend!!

@tuarceatha - Jealous you're going on vacation!!

@Buddysmom80 - Have fun cleaning (I know, cleaning is not fun). At least you'll be having some fun this weekend!!

@Hummingbird125 - I'm sure you won't have too much trouble convincing those 2 to help a fellow NEYer out

)

@500Days - Sounds like a nice relaxing weekend. Maybe your BFF will bring up the wedding?

I totally forgot to put makeup on today!! Thankfully I wear very little and just use it to even out my skin tone.

Tonight I'm supposed to do 2 T25 videos, I'm not sure about that. 1 is pretty tough plus my yard needs to be cut and I'm a lot more sore than I thought I was.

Plans for this weekend:
Take a bike ride (Sunday it's supposed to rain)
Open joint checking account (haven't warned FI of this one yet, he's mentioned that we should get it done though).
We need to pick up a few things from the local/organic market
I have to work late Sat evening (9:30p-midnight).
Probably catch up on TV

Peaseblossom55 · August 2014

Yay Friday!

@Swazzle I'm sorry you have to get stuck wearing the boot, but yay no sugery!! Have fun this weekend!

My weekend isn't too exciting. Tonight I get to hang around the house. I guess I should clean it???? We'll see. Tomorrow no real exciting or definite plans. I may work some on the garden and our yard. H may be starting to install the new kitchen backsplash, we have a friend coming by tomorrow morning to look at some electric stuff. Otherwise no other plans that I'm aware of I think on Sunday night H is taking me to our favorite Mexican restaurant in New Hope! It would be awesome if H was able to finish putting in the kitchen backsplash this weekend but we'll see.

[Deleted User] · August 2014

@Swazzle - I've had to wear the boot before, once on each foot following my foot surgery!! it is really a stylish accessory... not.

KeptInStitches · August 2014

@swazzle, get better soon!

Well, I'm already running stupid late today because sleepy-me shut off the alarm clock and FI had to wake us both up. Oops. My job really doesn't care when I get in as long as my work gets done (yay flexible hours), but I really could have used the extra time. So now I'll probably get to work tomorrow. Great.

Tonight FI's going to Guardians of the Galaxy with a bunch of friends. I'll probably work on the house and/or knit. I need to make so many blankets.

Tomorrow I probably get to go to work so that I can take more samples. FI will work on the house, starting with that damn sink that still isn't draining, even after the auguring. He says he didn't hit anything or that he didn't get to the problem, neither of which makes sense. Said the pipe was too clean, too. He's getting in touch with my dad (who lent him the augur) this morning to see if maybe he did something wrong in using it or if there's a trick or what the deal is.

Sunday looks like Saturday, hopefully without the work.

LizzyTish88 · August 2014

Helloooooo Ladieeeessss!

Today is my last half day Friday of the summer. So I'll be leaving here at noon and heading home. I have to clean up around the house, empty the dishwasher and get some laundry going. I'm not really sure what is up for the rest of the night.

Tomorrow I have a cheer thing from 8-10 but that's it. I'm not sure what else we will be doing this weekend. I know BF wants to go see either The Expendables or TMNT and I voted TMNT so we shall see. Other than that just a lot of cleaning up around the house and relaxing. Hopefully!

labro · August 2014

I'm super jealous of the g2g @buddysmom80. @Swazzle, @hummingbird125, and @csousa are having this weekend!

I already went over my weekend plans yesterday but in short -

Today - lunch with my mom and sisters, MAIL INVITATIONS, buy shower hostess gifts

Tomorrow - HOLY SHIT BRIDAL SHOWER, help my mom plan her gift to my FI for the wedding

Sunday - HORSEBACK RIDING OMGYAYYYYY!!!!!

Peaseblossom55 · August 2014

@Lapeanut1018 yay for your shower tomorrow have a great time!!!

lavenderfields13 · August 2014

I need to start keeping up with cleaning my apartment more often. I just HATE cleaning and lately all I do is sit on Pinterest looking at wedding shit and checking off wedding tasks on my TK, WeddingWire,etc checklists. I don't know what I'm going to do with my life when this wedding is over.

I bought a living social deal for house cleaning and the girl came last Saturday and did a really crappy job. My friend suggested I just "drunk clean" my apartment myself. Sounds like a good idea because seriously, being buzzed makes everything more enjoyable.

In other news, my promotion that I have been waiting a very long time for finally went through. My boss just told me this morning and it will be announced later. So that's exciting!

minskat30 · August 2014

I'm jealous of your GTG!!!

@Swazzle - I had to wear the boot once for a few weeks...I agree it was zero fun.

@LaPeanut1018 - Have a great shower!

@lavenderfields13 - Congrats on the promotion!!

@Peasseblossom55 - Pics of the new backsplash if it goes up? I need kitchen inspiration

-------------------------------------------

I'm working today and hope to get my niece's b-day present tonight after work. Chilling with H tonight.

Saturday H and I are finishing sanding our floors and attempting to stain a room to see how we do. We finally picked out paint colors (it took a while for an agreement to be formed on that one) so here is hoping we do better with picking out a stain. Saturday afternoon is my neice's b-day so I'll be in charge of corralling the kids around the pinatas so no one ends up hurt. How I get that job every year, I don't know.

Sunday I'm thinking it will be more house work as well as getting in a workout (and laundry).

lovemyrunner · August 2014

@swazzle Yay for no surgery! Surely you can bedazzle the shit out of that boot or paint it to look like a fancy heel or something. It could be a fun drunken girls night activity for you and the other NEYers. Good boob vibes for your MRI!

My weekend is not exciting. I will spend today cleaning and going to get my annual Tb test and mask fitting for work. Then BF and I are going out to dinner with friends and then back to their house to bine watch Game of Thrones and play with their cutie patootie daughter. Saturday and Sunday I work. Boo. But, only 3 more shifts and then I have like a week and a half off!

Peaseblossom55 · August 2014

@minskat30 here is the link to the backsplash we're using Here

I hope the link works. We have white counters, stainless steel appliances and a black granite countertops. I will definitely post pictures once the who kitchen is complete.

[Deleted User] · August 2014

congrats, @lavendarfields13 !!!

@LaPeanut1018 - you're going to be married before you even know it!!!

labro · August 2014

Thanks @minskat30 and @peaseblossom55!

I forgot to AW our hallway and bathroom. We FINALLY finished it last night. FI started tearing down the wallpaper in the bathroom in like...March I think and we've been slowly working away at everything since then. Apparently 25 year old wallpaper that was glued DIRECTLY to the drywall doesn't really like to come off so we had lots of extra work to do. We also repainted the hallway, replaced the overhead lights, replaced the toilet in the bathroom, got a new towel rod, sink, shower curtain rod, lights, and other fixtures for the bathroom. Then we repainted all the trim and the doors in the hallway and bathroom. It was kind of pinkish white before and now it's a more modern brighter white. We still need a shower curtain in the bathroom but I'm waiting for the one I have in mind to go on sale (or show up as a shower gift).

Swazzle · August 2014

@lovemyrunner - Those are fantastic! I really just wish it were black. I would give zero fucks about the way it looks if it were black.

Swazzle · August 2014

@lapeanut1018 - Your hallway and bathroom look SO good! When I have a house, I will pay you in booze and guac to come help make mine as pretty

@LivLeighton - D'awww thanks! You're totally right, it's way better than surgery recovery. Fingers crossed for a relaxing weekend for you!

minskat30 · August 2014

@Peasseblossom55 - Love it!

[Deleted User] · August 2014

@Swazzle - I have 2 black boots, one for each foot. just saying...

@LaPeanut1018 - love the new space. looks great! I'm going to Homegoods and Hobby Lobby tonight to get some stuff and spruce up our house, now that we have money!!! HL has all home accents 50% off this week!

labro · August 2014

@CocoBellaF I got the new shelving unit from HL when they had all their metal accents on sale. It used to be two glass shelves held up with plastic brackets (YUCK). Hope you have fun at HL and HG! AW all the new home accent things please!

500days · August 2014

@lapeanut1018- It looks great! Your hallway looks so much better; I just love before and after pictures!

@dignity100- I wonder if it will come up, but I have no doubts that she's happy for me. We just talk about how fun the day will be in general. It's very different from when she was getting married a couple of years ago- we talked about details all day. I got engaged right around the time she separated, so it feels like a sensitive topic.

@livleighton- I live in RI :-) Used to live by Alewife station growing up. I don't think I could ever move away from this area.

GoldenPenguin · August 2014

Sorry I was MIA yesterday - I caught the 10-hour stomach bug from FI on Wednesday, so I stayed home from work yesterday. (I was really sad I missed my Penguin Signal.)

HOWEVER, I'm healed up, ravenous from eating not much more than saltines yesterday, and SO READY TO GET TO @swazzle!! I'm going to sneak out of work a little early, hopefully, and drive down to the Dirty Jerz, and we're going to order something delicious for dinner.

I can't wait to have so much fun with my favorites this weekend.

And also, blowing raspberries on Lucy's pink tummy.

labro · August 2014

@Swazzle It's going to take a lot of booze and a lot of guac! Just sayin'.

Peaseblossom55 · August 2014

@LivLeighton I will definitely let you know how it goes. I'm sure if he starts that up this weekend I'll get roped into helping somehow, although I said I'm staying away from the wet saw!!!
