Just Tuesday
I totally thought it was Wednesday and had what I thought was a clever theme chat...and then I realized it was just stupid old Tuesday. Boooo!
Happy things: We have half of our RSVPs back! People keep writing additional comments on them about how excited they are to attend and it makes my heart smile every time. And we're going to visit our house tonight!!! In less than a month we will be living there!!! I don't think I posted pictures before, so I will try to take a bunch tonight.
Other things: I seriously thought more people would be declines for our wedding. We have the space and budget if everyone comes (and they aren't all coming), but there would be more breathing room with fewer guests! Come on "No"s! And I am tired AF. I did not sleep well last night and I would like to put my head down on my desk and take a little snooze 
And it's all grey and crappy outside.
What's up with the rest of you?

Re: Just Tuesday
I am also tired. I got my new FitBit ChargeHR last night!! I charged it up and wore it to bed. Oh, and we decided to turn on the "exercise" feature while we had some romantic fun last night to track my HR. We had a lot of laughs later that night. I love being married to my H!
Anyway, last night I had night sweats SO BAD. Gotta wash the sheets tonight. Ugh!
Today is going to be really nice... around 80 degrees!! Severe storms tonight, but just hail/wind/rain, no tornado threat. Good thing, because I want to go to bed early.
Tomorrow is my interview! I'm tweaking my resume today (they looked at a copy that was only updated to December) to bring to the interview tomorrow. I am excited and nervous.
I am so exhausted again today. I was out late last night and had a light sleep. I can't wait to get home from work do a few things around the house and just sit myself down on the coach. Unfortunately no working out after work now but I'll make up for it the rest of the week. I am so glad I have off on Friday,
In other random news I'm trying to convince H we need a tea cup pig as a pet, so far I'm not winning this battle. I even came up with a great name for it. We'll see what happens. It's been an amusing conversation thus far.
@Southernpeach89 - good luck getting some cleaning done
@bethsmiles - holy crap, that is just wrong that they didn't pay you for the time you worked!! I hope you're able to get a solution to it! Did they code your time some other way? Like I know if we call off sick that time gets coded differently so if we do still go over the 40 hours, we don't get time+half for it.
@CocoBellaF - glad you got your fitbit and are getting such great use of it already! Good luck with your interview!
@Peaseblossom55 - Hope your work day goes by fast so you can relax!

I had a bad day yesterday. The person I sit next to, I'll refer to him as smelly... because he smells (if not of BO then of grease - he's been talked to several times about it). So because smelly is new to our group - he passed something off to me and I didn't get a lunch or breaks; so here I'm dealing with his issues and I hear him on the phone with his mortgage company followed by home owners insurance followed by credit card followed by wife followed by phone.... The other guy who sits next to me is just as annoyed with smelly as I am - as I was walking out the other guy said 'I can't take it anymore, I need to talk to the manager, where is he?'.
Today is a new day, I'm working the crummy 'late shift' but I am in a decent mood. I feel better than yesterday. We'll see if that continues (as I left my purse at work and need to make sure it's there and all the stuff is inside it - but we're in a locked area and everybody is pretty honest).
Oh - all caught up on TWD too!
@southernpeach89 - I finally had a Saturday at home this weekend and actually got to clean! My apartment was in a state and it was driving me nuts. It's still a bit of a mess, but that's because it's tiny and somewhat cluttered. I can't wait to move!
@bethsmiles - That is such a load of shit, I would be furious too! We actually had 2 incidents last year where we just didn't get paid; they tried to spin it as a problem with the payroll company, but we're all pretty sure it's because the finance guy forgot about some stat holidays and just submitted everything too late. The first time was over the holidays and they didn't even make a reasonable effort to contact us about the issue, the second time was a regular work day and I refused to do any work until they told us how it was going to be dealt with. I hope you get what you're owed!!!
@CocoBellaF - Good luck tomorrow!
@Peaseblossom55 - I feel like there was a discussion about teacup pigs on another TK board recently, but I can't remember where!

@nycgal85 - You either have to make hard cuts (both you and your FI) or figure out a way to be able to afford everyone. Are you inviting kids? Maybe make your event adults only. Are there people you are inviting out of obligation rather than really wanting them there? Cut them, as long as you are the ones paying you are the only ones who get a say in the guest list.
ETA: Nobody is entitled to an invitation - including family.
@cocobellaf - good luck on interview tomorrow!
@peaseblossom55 - as @eilis1228 and @lmcooper86 mentioned....i started a thread a week or so ago re: mini pigs. please please please do your research on "teacup pigs" before you purchase. do you know how big they can grow? do you have the time/space/money to dedicate? is it even legal where you live? do you have a vet lined up that will treat a pig?
@twodimes - ugh that fiasco sounds awful. why would FMIL do that? people are silly sometimes.
@eilis1228 - glad you are on the mend.
i came home last night to find BF had done a very thorough cleaning/organization of the apartment. score!! it feels soooo much better now. (we live in a 400 sq ft apt so clutter quickly makes me feel like i am drowning). he tackled most of his "honey do" list and also had dinner going in the crock pot which was delicious...one of those nights where i am especially grateful for him.
@lmcooper86 - YAY! I want house pictures!
@bethsmiles - You deserve your damn money! I hear about this kind of payroll crap way too often. How is something so simple fucked up so easily?
@TwoDimes - Oh, lovely FMIL. At least the cousin was nice about it instead of just getting pissed that you"invited yourself" or something.
@nycgal85 - Uh..... B list? Even just calling it that makes me feel bad for anyone on it.

We watched Big Fish last night. I could probably watch that movie once a week and never truly get sick of it. I always forget it's a Tim Burton movie.
We bought our dog a hiking pack this weekend. I decided to try and wear him out a little extra on our walk this morning, so I put the pack on him with two little water bottles (he's 60 pounds, so this is reasonable). He was NOT HAPPY. He loves to walk as fast as he can get away with, but with the pack on he was stopping every 5 feet to "sniff". I ended up taking it off for a while so he could mark a bunch of stuff and do his other business, then stuck it back on for the last mile and he did great! It slowed him down, which will be so much nicer for hiking. And when we stopped at the park, he went and climbed all the way up the play set, so he still has his balance. I can't wait to backpack with my doggie!
Still here and still fabulous!
sunday night. it was so good!! and so easy. thanks for the rec
Today is my day off so I am getting some cleaning done and I have meeting with the lady I'm dogsitting for later but that's about it.
I am REALLY enjoying the convenience of having a car. I was cleaning the rabbit cage this morning and remembered that I've been meaning to buy him a new litter box, which I was putting off because carrying a giant litterbox home is a pain in the butt. Today, however, I just paused my cleaning, got in the car, drove to the pet store, and got a new litter box all in less than a half hour. It was mundane and AMAZING.
OK.... I have a really big decision to make soon. On my days off sometimes I work for my friend (my roommate's best friend) who owns a dog grooming shop in town. I love working there, I get paid cash, the hours are great, and they're closed Sundays. She texted me the other day asking if I felt comfortable telling her what I get paid, which I did. I had a feeling that she was asking because she wanted to ask me to work for her full time. Lo and behold, my roommate comes home and tells me that our friend wants me to work full time and leave my job. She wants to pay me almost twice my current salary and I'd get insurance too, which is pretty much the only think keeping me at my current job. I would say yes in a HEARTBEAT but the only big question mark is insurance. I pay VERY good rates right now, and so if her insurance is significantly more expensive than mine, I can't accept the job. If it's slightly more, I will take it as long as my take home pay is more than what I make now. I just feel so stuck at my job. I have been trying to get promoted to Assistant Manager for years, tenured workers are minimally appreciated, and they keep adding more and more responsibility for my position without adding pay or benefits. It's disheartening to work there even though I absolutely adore and look up to my manager and I love the customers. If my friend's offer is worthwhile, I'm gonna put in my two weeks notice after my vacation. It's gonna suck, I already have anxiety about it, but I really feel like this is good for me considering my long-term goals (my major is entrepreneurship and management and I want to own my own business someday).
