Thursday Things

@Jenna8489 We don't have room for one. We've thought about puppy steps, maybe we really will get them now.

@LaBro Sucks about the flowers, hopefully they resolve it quickly!

bethsmiles · August 2015

@labro - That really sucks about the flowers! I hope they are giving you some sort of refund.

Swazzle · August 2015

@mrsspence87, @bethsmiles - I can look into it. I've been to several dentists over the years and nobody has suggested I try that

@lavenderfields13 - Yea, it's the big suck for sure. My wisdom teeth weren't bad at all. H still has his and gets to keep them lol. Most of the pants I've gotten from SF have been the most perfect fitting pants ever too!

jenna8984 · August 2015

@labro oh, yea 30 of them in a box you're right. That would have made me question it for sure. Sorry

@cocobellaf That sounds amazing. Don't laugh at me but I've never had Mexican food....like taquitos, enchiladas, fajitas, etc. My parents never made them (they are very all American steak & potatoes people) and I never go to Mexican restaurants because I don't like tomatoes, peppers, or beans and I feel like that is in every Mexican dish. I literally just got into guac 6 months ago lol.

@lavenderfields13 yea my butt is generally big but I like how it looks in black pants and jeans. I dunno grey just makes me self conscious haha. I'm hoping the movie will be like Fault in Our Stars- which was word for word the book.

WTF is going on with TK. It keeps making the "post" greyed out and I have to copy paste my response into a new reply.

[Deleted User] · August 2015

@jenna8984 - You should try it. The worst thing that would happen is you don't like it and you don't get it again.

speakeasy14 · August 2015

May be a P&R but I'll try to chat later.

I can't wait for Saturday!!

@southernpeach89 You always make the most gorgeous wreaths!

@minskat30 Poor Rajah

@cocobellaf I'm glad you're enjoying your MIL's visit, and alllll the food.

What are you having for dinner tonight? Honestly, not sure yet.

What are you wearing today? Navy suit, green tank

If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money? Pay off all my debt, my off my mom's debt, open a trust fund for my siblings, buy a new car, go on a super fancy vacation, then save the rest. -- My luck my winnings would be $1.

Would you rather go to the dentist or go to the gynecologist? Dentist; my dentist has massage chairs and tvs, and way less invasive than the gyno.

Would you rather go to the answer you DIDN'T choose above or get a bikini wax? Go to the gyno. I'm allergic to wax, so aside from the pain, I really don't want to deal with a rash in/around//near my lady bits.

KeptInStitches · August 2015

@swazzle, fingers crossed for being done with the dentist!

@southernpeach89, gorgeous trifle!

@cocobellaf, sounds like an awesome supper last night!

@peaseblossom55, enjoy your long weekend!

@caseface5, good job on the weight loss!

@minskat30, hugs for Raj. Hope he feels better soon.

@bethsmiles, so many good things!

@goldenpenguin, have fun with your friend!

@labro, that sucks about the flowers! They'd better refund your money.

---

What are you having for dinner tonight? Probably not much. I'm hoping to load up at lunch so I'm not hungry this evening. Maybe a protein bar or something?

What are you wearing today? A blue t-shirt, khakis, and my closed-toed shoes.

If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money? Pay off H's student loans, pay down/off the house, then invest depending on how much I won. But if I was going to do something frivolous, I would go to Cat Island, cover myself in nip, sit down in the middle, and wait for the kitties to come to me.

Would you rather go to the dentist or go to the gynecologist? Dentist.

Would you rather go to the answer you DIDN'T choose above or get a bikini wax? Gynecologist.

So last night we incorporated some more of the wedding gifts - new rugs in the jack and jill bathroom and new bedding on our bed. Bathrooms are cleaner now, but they're not perfect. Tonight we're going to deodorize to take down the cat smell, vacuum, and clean in the kitchen and dining room, which will get more of the wedding gifts put away. My goal is to make the daybed in the library.

Today is my Friday - graduation is tomorrow and my parents, aunt and uncle (she did one of the readings at my wedding), another uncle, and my great-aunt will be in town to see me walk.

[Deleted User] · August 2015

Happy graduation, @KeptInStitches!!!

bethsmiles · August 2015

@KeptInStitches - Graduation! Wooo!

LizzyTish88 · August 2015

Congrats, again @KeptInStitches! Happy graduation!

speakeasy14 · August 2015

@lavenderfields13 how about THESE or THESE?

KeptInStitches · August 2015

@speakeasy14, ooo, I love that second pair - bookmarking for next pay period!

GoldenPenguin · August 2015

Congrats & happy graduation, @KeptinStitches!!!

speakeasy14 · August 2015

@keptinstitches Woo hoo! Happy graduation! I think those shoes should be a graduation gift to yourself.

eilis1228 · August 2015

@Swazzle Good luck today at the dentist! Sending you all the healthy tooth vibes! Also, please post pics of your SF

@southernpeach89 Aw, I'm glad you guys are close to finding a day care for Callie. So exciting! I'm glad your DH had a great birthday too. I love the wreaths! You are so crafty!

@CocoBellaF Have fun picking peaches this weekend! That sounds like so much fun!

@caseface5 TK has been a PITA today for sure. Actually, just as I typed this, I got a random message that said, "There was an error performing your request. Please try again." WHAT REQUEST? I'm merely typing!!!

@everyone else... TK is going nuts. Will try and respond to everyone else later when TK calms down.

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

Sooo tired today. I was crazy productive yesterday, and I stayed up late just to finish that quilt. I'm moving a little slowly today.

Here's the finished quilt for my flower girl:

Sorry if it's huge. Imgur always uploads massive pics.

Tonight's plans:

Work out
Hang out with @audrewuh
Pack for Kerrville

I'm SOOOO excited for this weekend! I can't wait to see how the invitations turn out, and I'm also excited to see the printing process on all of the old 19th-century machines. Cross your fingers I don't cut off a finger or anything lol.

I really want to punch my uterus in the face right now. AF is going nuts this month. I'm really looking forward to changing up my BC after the wedding. This is getting ridiculous.

What are you having for dinner tonight? I think pork chops marinated in a cajun seasoning, mashed potatoes, and the California blend of frozen veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots). @audrewuh is coming over tonight to help me eat all these things.

What are you wearing today? black slacks, coral lacy-ish top, white cardigan, black kitten heels.

If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money? A new car and a trip to Europe

Would you rather go to the dentist or go to the gynecologist? Gynecologist

Would you rather go to the answer you DIDN'T choose above or get a bikini wax? Dentist. I'm traumatized from the one and only time I tried to get a bikini wax. That hurt like a mofo!

lavenderfields13 · August 2015

@Speakeasy14 Not sure how I feel about the scalloped (?) edges on the first ones- I'd have to see them on my foot. I like when websites show pics of shoes on actual feet! Smallest size they have is a 6 so they might be too big too depending on the sizing. I have small feet!

I like the second ones but don't want anything shiny.

I think they have they have the first ones in my store based on the website so I'll try check them out in person! Thanks!

there were others I saw on the website that I did like but they didn't have sizes for my tiny feet!

But if I was going to do something frivolous, I would go to Cat Island, cover myself in nip, sit down in the middle, and wait for the kitties to come to me. @keptinstitches At first I was like is that her way of saying Catalina Island in CA. Then I kept reading and was like oh, no, she really meant Cat, and that is fucking fantasic.

jenna8984 · August 2015

Sorry tried to format that and edit it 5 times and TK won't let me

I keep getting a grey box that say's "error, signed out by peer." And yesterday it quoted weird on mobile.

KeptInStitches · August 2015

@eilis1228 and perhaps anyone else, are you having trouble loading TK today or is it just me?

LizzyTish88 · August 2015

I'm having a terrible time with TK today. I just thought it was the universe's way of telling me to stop knotting and get some work done lol.

labro · August 2015

@KeptInStitches Happy Graduation Day tomorrow!!! So exciting!!!

@eilis1228 Great job on the quilt! I know your FG will always treasure it!

I'm having TK issues today but it's a known problem. Apparently their IT is working on it.

Sitting on hold with Costco again. At least their customer service people are really nice and working with me to get this resolved. At this point it looks like they are trying to get my flowers overnighted to me for delivery tomorrow.

bethsmiles · August 2015

@eilis1228 - Love the quilt! It's really cute!

@caseface5 - TK is being a pain for me too today.

Peaseblossom55 · August 2015

@keptinstitches Happy Graduation

@eilis1228 I love that quilt! So pretty!!!

eilis1228 · August 2015

TK barely loads for me. I keep getting an error message saying the connection timed out. It finally loaded long enough for me to type that post, but then it kept randomly deleting parts of the post. When I initially tried to post it, the "post reply" button grayed out randomly. Hopefully later today it will be back to normal so I can properly respond to everyone.

LizzyTish88 · August 2015

@Eilis1228 I kept getting a giant smiley face with X's for eyes...

Yup, that's what I'm getting half the time I try to do anything too. It's a pain.

audrewuh · August 2015

@swazzle - I'm seriously crossing everying (even my lucky labia) that this really is the last time for a while.

@bethsmiles - yay new jobbbbbb! I don't think I ever said Congrats!

@goldenpenguin have fun hugging all the NEYers this weekend! I'm still looking for my NE house.

@southernpeach89 Those wreaths!! You are so stinking crafty. The house divided: LSU and Georgia?

@lavenderfields13 Have you checked Target? When their shoe selection is on, it's ON. I bought some non-pointed toed black flats for @eilis1228's wedding last month.

@minksat30 Poor Raj! Here's to the pup feeling better soon!

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

I cannot seem to kick this damn cold/allergy mess. Waking up feeling like death each morning is getting old.

Yesterday I popped my (brand new) nose ring out while working on a big ol' booger that had gotten stuck behind it. That was quite the experience getting it back in my nostril.

Today is my Friday! I plan to sleep in tomorrow and finish cleaning. I've been working on cleaning the floors for two days now. One of my Houston friends is bringing her baby over to hang out all afternoon.

Saturday, I'm going to get started on pulling the weeds from the back and front yards. My neighbor is an elderly woman who can't/doesn't maintain her yard, so it's literally growing into ours (we have crushed granite, no grass) and it's getting ridiculous. There's also poop everywhere, because apparently if I'm gone for more than two days, H doesn't clean a thing, inside or out.

What are you having for dinner tonight?

Whatever @eilis1228 said, apparently. I'll be making the mashed potatoes and veggies, as per our usual routine.

What are you wearing today?

My "I

USA" hockey shirt, skinny jeans, keds.

If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money?

Move to NYC/Boston ASAP. Travel to conferences to network so I can start freelancing as a speaker/trainer/workshop leader. Oh, and student loans, car payments, blah blah blah adult.

Would you rather go to the dentist or go to the gynecologist?

Dentist.

Would you rather go to the answer you DIDN'T choose above or get a bikini wax?

I'm a weirdo and love getting my bikini wax done. I haven't gone this whole summer (thanks WORK), and I'm looking forward to getting back to it next week.

[Deleted User] · August 2015

@Keptinstitches Happy graduation!!! Also thank you, I didn't think the trifle looked all that pretty since the pudding was all over the place but it sure tasted good lol.

@Eilis1228 LOVE that quilt! It's adorable!!!

@Audrewuh It's Georgia vs. Georgia tech. The Navy blue is kind of hard to see...it does look like purple.

lavenderfields13 · August 2015

@audrewuh Why didn't I think of Target?? Just saw a few prospects online so I'll check them out. The only thing with Target is sometimes their shoes are so painful!

I have my nose pierced too- I've had it pierced for about 15 years or so but hardly every wear it anymore since I can't wear it at work. I have year round allergies too so the sneezing and booger situation has always been annoying with the piercing!
