No advice needed, not a vent. Just chit-chat.

Novel concept, right?
Let's talk about some good news! It's 44° here right now which feels like 80! Supposed to hit 50 tomorrow. The sun is actually peeking out! That's a grand thing. And I got a job offer yesterday! Requires a lot of travel so I'm confirming with my doctor whether that's OK, but it's super exciting anyway. We're looking at more houses tonight, although the one I really want is temporarily off the market while they do some painting and repairs.
What else is good in your worlds, friends?

I had my yearly review today, and did very well- I "exceed all expectations" yay! There was even talk of a mini-promotion
My FMIL is coming over for dinner but I have to take my car in to get a new transmission so I might miss dinner. Oh well, more Subway for me
A girl I don't get to chat with very often called my office to tell me she's expecting and I am SO excited. I love babies.
ETA: I Missed the part about job. YAY!
I'm the fuck out.
Congrats on the job offer! And good luck with the continued house-hunting!
Nothing exciting to report here. It's 47 degrees right now, which feels down right toasty. Work this week has been ridiculously slow but I only have a four day work week. Friday I get to stay home and wait for the furniture people to come and deliver our new couches! I will probably then spend the rest of the day on Pinterest, trying to figure out what color to paint the walls and getting ideas for new throw pillows and a new entertainment stand.
I also wore full makeup for the first time in forever the other day. On a day to day basis I may swipe on some under-eye concealer. That's about it. If I wind up with an extra minute in the morning I may throw on some mascara but that's the extent of my daily makeup wearing.
Congrats! It was great yesterday, it was 55 and sunny. I ran errands so I could be outside! V is still sick so I'm taking care of him. I also still need to do laundry but I appealed a campus ticket so I'm somewhat productive. Our campus pd can't solve an assault case to save their lives, but they sure can give those tickets.
There has been five assault cases that happen this year but no arrests. Cue eye roll. I need to do school work but I'm really happy. I'm doing great in all my classes, got in the 80th percentile in writing, and grad schools seem to be excited about me. I also just earned a lot of money! Now if only V felt better, today would be great!
I actually straightened my hair today and wore makeup instead of shoving it in a bun, which was a major accomplishment considering I had to get up at 4am to take my parents to the airport. And although I'm not technically doing the 40 days challenge (how is everyone doing, btw?) I majorly cleaned out my desk yesterday, filed two years worth of paperwork (I've been super bad), and threw out a bunch of old textbooks, notes, and other random crap. It felt so good. Today the closet and the dresser get their overhaul.
I had red velvet cheesecake for lunch.
My pretty programs for the wedding were shipped today. They are my one ridiculous over the top item that I just had to have when I saw the sample. (See pic of the sample
)
And I'm going to dinner with some friends tonight.
Life is good.
I decided to put off more school for awhile, which made my anxiety levels drop like crazy! I bought an amazing cute suit yesterday for my honeymoon to aruba!!! I am ready to be married.
@lolo883 do you have any names picked out yet?
I love absolutely everything about your post. Your programs are positively romantic and pretty. I'm now also stopping on my way to get red velvet cupcakes from Wegmans because of your lunch. I've been working out every day since last Monday, I totally deserve it.
I'm the fuck out.
Where are you staying @larrygaga ? Yay for Aruba!
