Moody Monday

Swazzle · June 2015

Good morning, ladies!

Apparently I had a dream that I wanted to bring a leftover turkey burger for lunch but they weren't in the fridge and when I asked H, he said he ate them all so I was annoyed. I was still annoyed this morning as I was packing my stuff for work. When I was on the train, I started to wonder if that conversation ever happened so I texted him and he has no idea what I'm talking about, thus the "apparently I had a dream...." start to this paragraph. The leftover turkey burgers are definitely sitting in the fridge, at home.

My weekend was so AMAZING.

@audrewuh arrived late on Thursday and we stayed up drinking and chatting. Friday, we spent the day laying in Central Park and then I headed home to get stuff for my mini BBQ. @GoldenPenguin and her H came over and we all ate and drank and watched the Rangers get their asses kicked in game 7 (mwahahahaha, sorry @peaseblossom55). The girls and I stayed up drinking and chatting when the guys went to bed.

On Saturday, I got up and made breakfast for everyone because I'm a classy hostess like that (aka I wasn't hungover) and then we all got on the road and headed out to Long Island. We went to lunch and then met @csousa1, @buddysmom80 and her H at the hotel and got ready together as per usual.

You. Guys. @hummingbird125 was SO stunning. Everything was absolute perfection. I cried like a baby during the ceremony (H literally turned to me and told me to get a hold of myself), especially when they read their vows which they wrote themselves. We played corn hole and ate amazing BBQ food and drank and danced our butts off. Everything was just so gorgeous, our girl did such an awesome job! I want to show you all but like with GoldenPenguin's wedding, I don't want to steal her thunder so you will have to wait until she gets back from her HM

Yesterday, we all had breakfast together, H and I dropped off @audrewuh at the airport and we headed home. H's friends came over and we watched the Jurassic Park marathon and cooked up some burgers and dogs and then I went to sleep super early because I'm an old lady.

It's rainy and gross out today. There's already lot of flooding in the area and it's supposed to rain all day/night and again tomorrow so that's just lovely. I wish I was still in bed!

@Swazzle I totally have dreams like that where I think they happened IRL and I think about them all day. In fact, last week I had one and I woke up and told DH to check my FB because I think someone hacked it hahaha.

@Hummingbird125 I hope you have a fabulous honeymoon and I can't wait for you to come back and AW everything!!

This weekend was nice, Friday I went out to Pizza and ice cream with my parents. I didn't do much the rest of the night...I'm pretty sure I was asleep by 10 as usual.

Saturday I went shopping with @labro and my mom! We found lots of cute things and @labro found this bassinet that she wants for a future child or a puppy lol. It was awesome! That night I just hung out with Maddux while DH was at work.

Sunday I was a bum the entire day. I did Insanity in the morning and napped the entire day. I think Callie did some extra growing because I was exhausted.

[Deleted User] · June 2015

Morning ladies!!

My weekend was full of much-needed quiet. After the insanity of the move last week I desperately needed some time off.

Saturday I went to yoga class in the morning and missed 2 calls from Mr. H in the process, which was frustrating. Then I came home and had a lazy day for the rest of the day. Sunday was practically the same...had church in the morning, went to the gym in the afternoon, and then took a hot bath and finished reading Outlander. It was so good--I'm going to have to pick up the next book in the series soon. Now that I'm done with school, I'm enjoying getting to read for fun again!

Today promises to be a bit busier. I'm headed to the gym for kickboxing here in a bit (I'm on a serious workout kick these days, trying to lose the 10 pounds I put on while writing the dissertation). Then Mom and I plan to work on cleaning out the pantry and going through some old books, and maybe going to Lowe's to look at paint colors. I'm painting all of my mismatched wood furniture so that my new apartment in Georgia will be coordinated--lots of gray and white, with hints of pink, yellow, and turquoise for the living room/dining room/kitchen area, with lots of royal blues and pops of red upstairs in the bedroom. The entire bedroom and bathroom area is going to be decorated using Turkish tile designs as a theme (I'm attaching a couple pictures below). I've loved these ever since I went to Turkey four years ago, and I have a small collection of tiles themselves that I want to display. I'm not ashamed at all for basing the entire decoration of half of my apartment around tiles... (Although I am glad Mr. H is colorblind...I never have to worry about if he's going to like the color combinations or not! As long as there is a comfy bed and pictures of us around, he's happy.)

I've also got some other errands to do today--Monday is the day I mail a care package to Afghanistan, so I need to run by the post office, and then go grocery shopping with my Dad. One of the best parts of living with my parents for the next 2 months is the fact that I don't have to buy groceries!

KeptInStitches · June 2015

@hummingbird125, congratulations!

Friday night I got to knit for a few hours. Saturday ... I think I did housework? Sunday I had a proposal to review and they hadn't paid any attention to the guidelines, so it was a rough review. Today should be fairly quiet, especially since I used almost 25% of my hours for the week yesterday. I'll work on some homework - I've got a LabVIEW program that's supposed to call Matlab, but Matlab won't open. I'll try again on another computer and see whether it's the computer or my program.

Tomorrow they're forecasting severe weather all day and night, so I'm thinking I won't be sleeping much then. I'm hoping to bank some sleep today.

H and I are hooked on Crash Course. In the last week, we've binge-watched World History I and US History, both of which I'd already seen. I think we'll do World History II next.

labro · June 2015

@Swazzle I'm so glad you had such an amazing time at @Hummingbird125's wedding!!!! I wish I could've been there to cry and celebrate with you! PS I brought my leftover turkey burgers to work today, I'd totally share if you were here!

@southernpeach89

My weekend was ok. Friday I ended up working until about 10 because we had an urgent contract come in that had to get signed before Sunday. So that really sucked.

Saturday H had to work so I went over to my parent's house and went for a run with them. Then I went home, showered, and came back from a day full of shopping with my mom and @southernpeach89. I bought my sister an adorable teddy bear for the baby room and I bought myself a bib that says "If you think I'm cute, you should see my aunt" to keep at my house for whenever I get to babysit. @southernpeach89 and I got sick and tired of our mom dragging us around to 50 billion stores so we finally had her drop us off at Starbucks so we could have sister-sister time.

Sunday I went for a run again, a shorter one though because I was battling hills in the neighborhood and it was ridiculously muggy. Then I mowed the front lawn and did some meal-prep for the week. H and I are trying a new program called Eat This Much and I wanted to go ahead and make some of the recipes that repeated themselves for the week so I didn't have to cook every single day.

ETA: Oh yeah, on Sunday we also had a HUGE thunder storm. One of the lighting bolts either hit our house or right next to the house and fried our modem, router, and garage door control boxes of all things. Ugh! At least all the other electronics were on a surge protector. So we had to make an expensive and unplanned trip to Fry's yesterday to get a new modem (H had a spare router already) and then we spent $160 ordered new motherboard/chip/control things for the garage doors so they'll work again.

Peaseblossom55 · June 2015

I can't believe it's Monday already :-( The weekend went by way too fast. It's rainy and icky out a perfect day to call out of work and crawl back under the covers. Alas I am at work

As @swazzle mentioned Friday was not a good night at our house, watching the Rangers lose. Oh well. H is way more devasted than I am. Saturday was my niece's dance recital, she was really good, but the thing was 4 hours long. I was exhausted and not feeling well, after we went out to dinner, but it was a long day. I was annoyed I didn't get any studying done either.

Sunday the IL's came over and helped us plant our new garden, we put in a lot of perrinials this year and I love it. We added columbine, chinese peonies, salvia, foxglove and some impatients along the edge. I love it, It was hot and tiring being out there for so long. I got a little sunburnt but nothing too bad. After that I napped for awhile, H & I ran errands. I got some studying done and we watched GOT.

The weekend wound up being busier than I expected and I didn't get as much studying done as I could. At least I have no plans this week and I can focus on that at night now.

@Labro lol! That's perfect!

Of course!

This means I get one too because....we're sisters.

Blue & White · June 2015

Hi!! Today's my last day of school with kiddos. My room is so boring and bland with everything taken down and packed up its kinda sad.

This weekend we were so productive! We painted a silicon coating on our patio roof (two coats), finished some drywall repair in our bedroom (next step: few more coats of spackle and then texture and paint and trim! We are almost done!) H got to meet my coworkers at a party for one who is leaving. It was fun!

Oh and we watched baseball. Duh. The Rays beat the Orioles which was rude of them (I think they split the series)

I just subscribed to Fit Fusion so I can stream some workout videos this summer cause really my plans for summer break: workout regularly aka 30 min at least per weekday, get some tan on before st Lucia, and practice French horn. Obviously knotting and crafting and Netflix binging will be included. I'm pretty excited. And need to get rid of some extra pounds that magically appeared (or something)

Oh! And I'm supposed to see @southernpeach89 like next week or something. We should plan that lol

cu97tiger · June 2015

@labro - scary about the lightning strike! We could hear a couple storms but they missed us to the north by maybe a mile.

@twodimes - Holy cow 2 months!!

Nice dreams everyone! I had more Crossfit dreams last night. In this one, I showed up and everyone was wearing full length gowns. I was all upset that no one had told me to wear a gown. @Elle#s was there and told me it was no big deal, but I was still pissy.

This weekend was good. A relaxing Friday night at home with a quick trip out for a glass of wine and some Moose Tracks ice cream. YUM. Saturday I helped set up a Girls on the Run 5k, then came home and relaxed until it was time to go hang out with @tuarceatha. We drank yummy beer and ate yummy food, including pretzel necklaces (yes, those are a thing).

Sunday DH and I took the dogs on a walk, got doughnuts from a new place, picked up a grill from HD that we had bought last week, and then chilled out.

Today is the best the day... our new granite countertops are getting installed! I cannot wait. Thursday a new chandelier gets installed and then our kitchen will be D O N E!!

[Deleted User] · June 2015

@Blue I just messaged you about next week!!!

AlPacina · June 2015

Good morning, ladies!

I am at home because the intense sunburn I got hiking on Mt. Hood yesterday is making me feel feverish (even though it is probably just the bright red skin on my face). So the dog and I are chilling. I'm going to try not to move so as not to irritate the burns on my legs and arms.

Just popping in to say hi. Didn't really do anything too exciting this weekend.

GoldenPenguin · June 2015

My weekend was pretty much the same as @swazzle's. My crying on Saturday came during the reading - @hummingbird125 used one of the same readings I did (Union), and I bawled.

One thing @swazzle forgot to mention was the cake. HOT DAMN, THE CAKE. It was so delicious.

Of course, everything else was absolutely amazing. @hummingbird125 was an absolutely GORGEOUS bride (duh), the food was spectacular, and I had so much fun with my BFFs!! We even adulted fairly well!

Yesterday, H & I got to stop & visit with my best friend for awhile, which was so fun. We went to her H's softball game, and then went to lunch with her & her two daughters - I adore them. I realize I'm biased, but they are two of the cutest kids I've ever seen. After lunch, we drove home, and got stuck in an absolute MONSOON on the highway. It was raining so hard, you could barely see in front of the car, and we were hydroplaning everywhere. But we made it back unscathed, picked up Vi from a friend's house (she couldn't have been LESS interested in the fact that we were back. I think she's mad at us.), went home and sat on the couch for the rest of the night.

I'm exhausted today - I'm happy we have NOTHING to do this weekend, so I can finally catch up on my sleep!

I'm really excited for my FaceTime date with @swazzle tomorrow for PLL!!

labro · June 2015

@Blue & White Long time no see!

[Deleted User] · June 2015

Everyone had such fun weekends! I can't wait for @Hummingbird125's AW after her HM.

H was sick sick sick all weekend. Friday we went out for lunch and got groceries, and then he didn't leave the bed or couch after that until he left for work this morning. Thankfully he's feeling better today. I kept rubbing his chest and head with eucalyptus oil, and had him take a detox bath every day, and breath steam with tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil. I guess it helped!

Anyway, Friday we took a nap and then just watched Netflix. Saturday, he laid around and slept/watched soccer and I went to my brother's birthday lunch... I had to do 2 work outs so I didn't feel awful about eating cake and homemade ice cream!! Sunday, I went to church and then cleaned the house, did laundry, exercised, read, and slept. Not very exciting!

Tonight I have a run scheduled... hope it goes better than my last one on Thursday. That was a TERRIBLE run.

Blue & White · June 2015

@labro we have key loggers at work lol soooo I basically just lurk on my phone occasionally. Boring

untouchablets · June 2015

Good morning guys!

I don't have much to say about my weekend because it was pretty boring. I nearly walked out of work on Saturday because my continuously nasty coworker had the balls to actually speak to me as a lesser human being than him. I literally shouted "what is WRONG with you!!" and he didn't speak to me for the rest of the day so that was good. Anyway I was an extra person and I had a short shift so if he had continued to be abusive I would have just left. But that's all fine because MY BOSS IS BACK FROM VACATION TODAY!!!! I missed her so much. I can't wait to see her. These last two weeks have been HELL for me.

Yesterday after work I took a trip to Michaels to buy TWO things. My friend and I are making tshirts for our Taylor Swift concert in less than two weeks so I needed that paper you can print on and iron onto a shirt, and stencils and black spray paint for clothes so I could put words on it. Well, then I saw these canvas shoes and all my ideas hit me like a ton of bricks so an hour later I was walking out of the store with WAY more than two things lol oops! But Michaels is like my heaven so I take no responsibility... I blacked out :P

I think I'm subconsciously searching for like a really fun, time consuming hobby. I want to stay occupied so I don't stress about work too much when I'm not there, and about engagement stuff because like five of my friends got married this past month and I've been daydreaming a lot and I just need something else to do lol. BF isn't helping, the other day he said something and I didn't hear what he said and he was like "oh don't worry, you'll know later." and I KNOW it had something to do with marriage because we were talking about a friend I knew in kindergarten who got married the other day. And also he opened up the can of worms called "wants his horrible friends to be the godparents of our nonexistent, far off into time and spacec children" OUT OF NOWHERE. Super suuuuppppeeerrrr nOT HELPING.

speakeasy14 · June 2015

Morning everyone! Possibly my last post for the week.

@labro hahaha that poor dog

@southernpeach89 There's nothing wrong with relaxing all weekend!

@hummingbird125 enjoy your honeymoon! Can't wait to see all the pictures!!

@twodimes Two months!!

@futuremrshistorian You must aw everything you paint!

So I used the epoxy paint and painted the tub this weekend. It took forever because the stuff paints like glue. The fumes were also horrible, that a mask and goggles didn't even help. I had to keep going outside because it was making me dizzy. It dried streaky and there's not enough left to do another coat. Supposedly there is a spray version so we're going to try to get that so we can get rid of the streaks.

I'm dropping my car off at shop tonight. Ever since the wheel came off, the suspension doesn't feel right. And now it shakes at 60mph. After that I need to finish packing and then pack all of my bf's clothes. We have to be on the road by 1:00pm at the latest tomorrow.

Blue & White · June 2015

@untouchablets is it healthy for you to not like your SO's friends so much or am I reading that sentence wrong?

And yes yes crafting is kinda crack lol I love it but I have such crafting indecision. I always have like ten crafts going on at once. Sometimes I finish them

minskat30 · June 2015

Morning all. I'm super moody today...I hate hormones. I just want to sleep all day...I told H he needs to win the lottery soon so I can retire on a beach with a bunch of kiddos. To give him credit he did offer to move us to India where I wouldn't have to work at all but, yeah, India isn't a beach in Mexico if you know what I'm saying.

@hummingbird125 - I can't wait for you to AW!!!

@Swazzle - I have dreams like that all the time. I wake up so irritated at H and it usually takes me a while to remember it was a dream. I think its hilarious that you had to text him about it.

@TwoDimes - 2 MONTHS!!!

@FutureMrsHistorian - I love those tiles!

@labro - That picture is freaking adorable!

@GoldenPenguin - Why is Vi mad?

@cu97tiger - Yeah for granite! AW a picture please.

@southernpeach89 - Callie better be nice to Mommy...I love hearing your updates about the little peach.

@Blue&White - When are you going to St Lucia?

@CocoBellaF - I'm sorry your H was sick. That sucks when it takes up your weekend.

@AlPacina - Feel better soon!

@Peaseblossom55 - I'm sorry about the Rangers.

@Speakeasy14 - Have fun! Where are you guys going again?

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

Let's see on Friday I cooked Indian food for H (it was amazing according to him...I'm not big into eating the dish he wanted me to make so I'll take his word for it). I also cleaned the house BIG time.

Saturday I did more cleaning and H and I picked up some plants for our garden (a tomato plant and some herbs). The weather was terrible though (40s/low 50s) so we didn't get the garden really done this weekend. H and I were lazy and I ordered a gluten free pizza, he ordered Thai and we watched Pitch Perfect...guys that movie is the bomb. Now I want to see the sequel.

Sunday I had a fun time...my previous assistant came over with her husband (we hired her husband to put in our new A/C) and she and I grilled and chatted for several hours while the guys worked. I miss talking with her so it was great to catch up. Then H and I watched Bridget Jones...it was his choice actually.

I need to work out today...seriously. I didn't do a darn thing this weekend and ate/drank way too much. Butt in gear starting now.

sorry, I was being pretty dramatic when I called BF's friends horrible. I should have thought that through, I actually like spending time with them buutttt they're not the best decision makers. And I actually really don't like his BEST friend, but that's after almost six years of trying to get along with him and him not making it easy in the slightest. If he wants me to spend time with them I will but if he'd rather hang out with them on his own I am happy to sit it out lol.

GoldenPenguin · June 2015

@minskat30 - I think she's mad at us because we left her again this weekend! We picked her up on Tuesday, and left her again on Friday. Hopefully some good quality time with her this week (extra snuggles, naturally) will make her feel better.

minskat30 · June 2015

Awwww, @GoldenPenguin. Too cute. Poor poor Vi. I'm sure you'll make up for it.

eilis1228 · June 2015

@Swazzle I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You have the best weekends ever!

@southernpeach89 Awww Ms. Callie is going to be here before we know it!

@futuremrshistorian Your apartment will be fabulous!

@labro OMG I'm glad the lightning didn't cause a fire! That really sucks about the fried electronics, but I'm glad it wasn't worse.

@TwoDimes TWO MONTHS!!!! How exciting! A glider and a fire pit sound wonderful, and just in time for summer!

@Blue&White Infinitely jealous of your awesome summer plans!

@cu97tiger Please AW pictures of your completed kitchen later this week.

@AlPacina Oh no! I've had sun sickness before, and it's awful. I hope you feel better soon! I've heard a good trick with aloe vera is to put some in ice cube trays and freeze them.

@GoldenPenguin Glad you guys made it home safely!

@CocoBellaF I'm glad your H is feeling better!

@untouchablets I recently got into quilting, which is fairly time consuming... ridiculously so if you don't have a sewing machine. I also taught myself how to knit in college via YouTube, and it's really time consuming as well. I like that I can still be productive while sitting idly watching TV, and it's fun to plan out projects. Maybe you could look into quilting/knitting/crocheting?

@speakeasy14 Oh no! That sucks that the tub dried so streaky after all that work! I hope you the spray version works wonders and has less fumes.

@minskat30 I feel ya on the crazy hormones. I delayed my period a week, and my hormones are all over the place. Ugh. Sounds like you had a great weekend though!

--------

Did anyone hear/watch the Tracy Morgan interview on the Today Show? I heard a few clips on the radio this morning and came thisclose to bawling in the car. I can't handle a grown man crying. Poor guy.

Texas finally has sun! Yesterday was our first sunny day, and it was absolutely perfect. We're supposed to have sun all week, and it's going to be glorious... especially because this weekend will be really busy. My little brother graduates from high school Friday night, Saturday we have his graduation dinner, and Sunday is my bridal shower. I'm so excited! Also, I know we're supposed to wait until after we get married to use the gifts we receive, but I'm not waiting 5 months to use everything. lol.

This weekend was really nice and relaxing. Friday night we stayed in, and I fell asleep by 10pm. I slept in until 9am Saturday morning, and then we ran a few errands. We got my screen fixed at the Apple store and FI got a new phone because he'd broken his the night before while trying to fix it, and we checked out the Costco liquor store that just opened. They had a bottle of Grey Goose for $25! Yeah! Cheap booze! Anywho, Saturday afternoon two of our friends came over to play a really long, complex board game called Eldritch Horror, and it took us about 6 hours to play (and we lost the game, but it was surprisingly fun). Yesterday we did absolutely nothing all day, and then we went to my coworker's birthday dinner. It was my first time at a hibachi restaurant, and holy moly was it delicious.

Tonight I'm hanging out with @audrewuh for the first time in a month, and I can't wait to see her and talk about how wonderful her weekend was with all the NEYers.

phira · June 2015

@hummingbird125 CONGRATULATIONSSSSS!!!

@goldenpenguin We did "Union" too and OH MY GOD IT MAKES ME CRY ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Like, I cried during our rehearsal because of it. What a great reading.

My weekend was SO MEH.

13-hour day on Friday, which sucked anyway, but what was worse was that my second western didn't work. It might have worked if I'd done an overnight step, but I couldn't come in on Saturday (and the step can't go longer than overnight).

Saturday was the bridal shower I had to go to. It was SUPER meh anyway, but opening the gifts was pretty crappy. The couple is registered on a couple websites but they have a gofundme for their honeymoon, so they didn't want physical gifts (so why register?!). The bride doesn't cook, but because the groom does, they did register for a bunch of kitchen stuff and cookware. But the bride was really confused and almost irritated that she was opening all these gifts and it was all cookware! She barely said thank you the whole time. It was kind of appalling.

Sunday, I basically slept the entire day. Seriously. Slept till early afternoon, napped in the evening, and still went to bed at my normal time. Clearly, I needed to catch up.

audrewuh · June 2015

I'm in a mood and a half today.

I had the best weekend celebrating @hummingbird125 and I legitimately did not want to come home. Apparently NYC felt the same way, because a MASSIVE storm (the one @goldenpenguin got caught driving in) grounded us on the runway for five hours. I finally got home at 11:30 last night and I may be swearing off traveling all together.

My weekend started Thursday with a missed connection (thanks Delta) and four hours at the airport bar. @swazzle and her H picked me up and we did as she said, drinking and chatting some more at her beautifully decorated house. I love her new couch! I spilled beer on it and it cleaned up super quick and easy.

Friday Swaz and I went into the city, did the Central Park thing, got confused about her turkey burger recipe, and then I went and met up with my BFF from elementary school while Swaz prepped for dinner. My Elementary BFF and I went to the Sex Museum, walked around Chelsea, and met up with her BF at The Meatball Shop. She dropped me off at Penn Station and I successfully navigated the New Jersey Transit system this time. @goldenpenguin and @swazzle picked me up, we watched hockey, shared a zillion pictures of our pets, drank and talked, and finally crashed out.

Saturday was wedding day! We loaded up and drove out to the venue where we all sat and sobbed like children. It was one of the most beautiful and heart felt ceremonies I've ever witnessed. I'm pretty sure more than half of the guests were crying. Then we feasted (literally) on fantastic food and danced our booties off. I think we adulted pretty well!

Sunday was the worst. I am now spending my first day back in the office planning my maybe-not-so-hypothetical move to the northeast and avoiding all other responsibilities. Seeing @ellis1228 tonight is lifting my spirits!

@labro I'm dying at that picture. Further proof that dogs make good babies

@cu97tiger I already loved your house, but I love it even more now with all these updates! And a pretzel necklace needs to be in my life.

@twodimes How is it already almost here?!?

AlPacina · June 2015

@eilis1228 - That's a great tip! I wish I had ice cube trays

@phira- It is so infuriating when you take the time to pick out a nice gift for someone and they can't even pretend to appreciate it. Fuck that noise. I have a sister like that. She'll just first off tell you why she won't use something, rather than even saying thank you first.

----------------------------------
But hey, here's a picture of the mountain as we were going up it. We were hiking in snow but I was plenty warm in just shorts and a t shirt!

speakeasy14 · June 2015

@minskat30 we're going to Colorado for my bf's cousin's wedding.

Here's what the tub looks like right now.
