Stinky Tuesday

[Deleted User] · September 2015

My box heater at work died yesterday afternoon. I was hoping that it would turn back on this morning, but NOPE. Ugh!!! How will I keep from freezing in the arctic tundra that is my office?

How was everyone's Monday? I feel like I barely survived. I decided to do a relaxing/stretchy yoga video last night before bed, instead of a normal work out. After my massage, I decided one day solely dedicated to stretching would not be such a bad thing. By the end, I was ready to fall asleep. I give it an A+!

I have a butt-ton of meetings today. I meant to wash my hair, but I overslept a bit and ended up just wetting it and then putting it up after it dried a bit. We woke up this morning and apparently Bella brought her new hippo dog toy to bed and we all slept with it the entire night.

I am wearing one of my new bras. It makes my boobs look like boobs... awesome. I need more new bras so my boobs are great every day.

What's going on today for you?

@CocoBellaF Gotta love a new bra!! I need some new ones, too!

This week is the tail end of busy for me. Today is the first days back for our district so I am sure I will be hearing all about it. Tonight I will have a "pow wow" with my cheer girls and have them tell us all about their first day.

Things at our office just keep getting weirder and weirder. Yesterday our boss announced that he got engaged over the weekend to future wife # 6. It's been the talk of the office. We are all just waiting for this guy to leave. He is useless. Hopefully soon he will be out of here!

It's super hot here and unusually so for late Aug/early September. I hate to rush things but I am ready for fall!! More importantly.. I am ready for FOOTBALL!!!

I feel totally meh today. I just did NOT want to come to work at all. Also, I miss @goldenpenguin being around these parts more. And @swazzle while she's on vacation. I just wish it was 7p (the time when I'll probably finally have a minute to sit down and relax.

Morning!

This week is chaos at work. Thursday is the big meeting that I run every three months. I usually have a team to help me with set up and making sure everything runs smoothly. Well, that team no longer exists. So I spent yesterday in a training with IT to make sure I know every detail to handle all of the technology (it is a global meeting). After that training I realized I really didn't need that team except to help set up quicker.

I have a confession: I caved and bought something fall -- Yuengling Oktoberfest. But it was delicious and worth giving up my only summer things stance. I did enjoy it with a bowl of summer fruits though.

@cocobellaf new bras are the best.

@caseface5 I hope your boss leaves soon. Every time you talk about him, it sounds like he just creates a toxic environment.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@caseface5 - 6th wife? Does he know that the point isn't to see how many you can collect?

@cu97tiger - I'm sad that you're feeling so meh today! Are your plans to totally veg out on the couch tonight?

@speakeasy14 - I woke up this morning thinking about pumpkin ginger bread. I am not ready to give up summer. I HATE WINTER. So, I'm holding out on the pumpkin bread for a little while longer.

cu97tiger · September 2015

@cocobellaf - DH and I made a deal that I'll make the Blue Apron dinner tonight, and he'll clean up. But those things always take an hour, so by the time I get home, cook, and eat, it will probably be 7pm. I hope to do some reading after that, get my stuff together for Crossfit/work tomorrow, and then lose myself in Candy Crush Soda.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@cu97tiger - H has started doing the dishes the majority of the time. It is the best... I hate dishes!! What are you reading? Last week I read The Milliner's Secret, then this week I read The Dressmaker (same author). I loved them both so much that I'm rereading them! But after that I need some more ideas.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@CocoBellaF I love stretching, I think it's the only thing that keeps my muscles in check after my workouts. If I didn't stretch I would be so stiff every single day.

@caseface5 I'm so ready for some football! I'm so excited for it to start.

@cu97tiger I miss @swazzle and @goldenpenguin too!

My appointment went well yesterday. I wasn't a huge fan of the doctor I saw yesterday, she kind of had the personality of toast. I'm also completely closed so Callie is not anywhere near being ready to make her appearance anytime soon. She is still predicted for her due date so no early surprises as of yet.

My boss is taking me out to lunch today and the restaurant we are going to has the best sweet potato fries ever so I'm going to noms on those definitely!

I didn't get to watch my Bachelor in Paradise last night because DH and I got hooked on watching Family Feud and The Chase on the Game Show Network lol. We both decided that we would be amazing on these shows and that we should try out lol.

minskat30 · September 2015

Morning!

@cocobellaf - New bras are the best. My current one is old and should have been tossed like a year ago. Meh.

@cu97tiger - I feel you, I'm blah today too.

@speakeasy14 - IT IS NOT FALL YET. NO FALL THINGS.

@caseface5 - Wife number 6!!!! Holy cow, what does he do with them? Bury them out back?

@southernpeach89 - Now I want sweet potato fries....nom, nom, nom.

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

I want to be in my bed. Thought about taking a day off but I have meetings which makes me a sad panda. Good thing I got up when I did as H barely made it to his train this morning. I think its semi-hilarious and semi-ridiculous that my morning routine is get up, cleaned, dressed, makeup on/hair done, dog out, dog fed, prepare H's breakfast shake, get H's breakfast ready and my breakfast ready, get H's two snacks for the day ready, clean kitchen and sometimes take out trash and H's routine is to get up, cleaned and dressed. How does that man take longer than me in the morning to look beautiful?!?

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@minskat30 - It's because you wake up gorgeous. He obviously has to work for what comes naturally to you!

Right answer.

I swear I'd trade him for his metabolism though. It is amazing to me how much that man eats.

MissKittyDanger · September 2015

Urg yesterday kinda sucked

All day yesterday it felt like I had a migraine in my eyes {best way to explain it} and did some research and turns out it's eye strain/eye fatigue. Do you know how complicated it is to keep away from technology? It's sad!

Anyways .... didn't do much last night. Tonight Matt's picking me up and we're headed to the outlet mall because I've had my eye on these boots and since I got some early bday money, I'm gonna get them

hahahahaha best reaction

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@CocoBellaF - Yay for new bras! Nothing like a little extra lift for some self confidence.

@speakeasy14 - My brother-in-law brought me a six-pack of Sam Adams Octoberfest...at the beginning of August. I drank the entire thing with no shame. I love that beer.

@caseface5 - ...#6?! He's channeling Henry VIII here I see. Let's just hope the others didn't suffer the same fate as some of his.

Today is a quiet day at work. I came in at 7:30 so I can leave at 3:30 and grab a yoga class. So far I've been listening to NPR and working on writing lectures. I'm so tired, though, that I'm going to have to go find a cup of tea or coffee soon.

This week in general is quiet--no meetings or anything on the schedule!

I'm so excited it's September...at the end of the month my nephew turns 2, and I'll actually get to go to his birthday party since I live only 5 hours away now, instead of 18! Plus, October is my birthday month, so it's getting closer and closer! I plan on ringing in the last year of my twenties in style (by which I mean "I'll probably buy a bottle of wine that costs more than $10 and order a pizza and binge-watch Star Trek.")

cu97tiger · September 2015

@cocobellaf - DH almost always does the dishes, even if he's the one who cooked. He's a much more thorough cleaner than I am, and he has a touch of OCD, so it's just better for everyone when he cleans up. He's also a better cook, so BA has been a godsend because it allows me to make more meals and give him a break.

I'm reading 'Sister' by Rosamund Lipton. So far it's pretty good.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

OMG. Somebody put marshmallow chocolate chunk brownies in the break room. Do you think anybody would notice if I made an excuse to go in there every 10 minutes for the next hour?

Jstump2 · September 2015

I'll come back and respond to others in a bit..The past 2 days have not been good for me.. Warning Vent ahead** This first trimester hasn't been the easiest so far. Around the same time I found out I was pregnant I came down with a nasty cold. Due to the pregnancy there wasn't much medicine I could take for it and it turned into a sinus infection/ear infection. I went to the doctor and got an antibiotic. It took about 2 weeks until I was feeling better.

Now this past Friday I noticed my tongue was being sensitive. I assumed maybe I had irritated my mouth a little by eating a lot of citrus fruit. Well Sunday the pain in my mouth and tongue got so bad that I could barely/eat and I had a slight temperature. When I did some research I saw it could be something called Oral thrush which is basically a yeast infection in you mouth and can be brought on by antibiotics and or pregnancy. I had an already scheduled apt. with my OBGYN Monday so I figured I could get him to treat me for that when I was there. I suffered through half a days work yesterday (my apt. was at 1pm. Well at noon I got a call from my doctor's office that he got called in for a delivery. Normally, not a problem but I had been counting on him to look at my mouth, so a combination of the pain I was in and a combination of pregnancy hormones made me start crying.

I left work and went to the express clinic. Waited for 2 hours was finally seen, they confirmed I had oral thrush but were afraid about what to prescribe me while pregnant. They made some calls to verify and finally gave me some medicine. I haven't eaten anything but pudding, yogurt, room-temp soup, and ice-cream for 2 days. Not the healthiest I know but it hurts so much to eat right now

. I really hope the medicine starts helping today.

Didn't do much last night. It's usually Margarita Monday, but DH and I drank ourselves silly over the weekend so we took a break. We made dinner, washed dishes, watered the lawn, and he showed me some ideas for our back deck. It's going to be awhile before we can afford to re-do it, but it's fun to dream for now!
I have to be honest, I'm ready for fall. But that's only because I'm tired of the 100 degree weather we have. "Fall" here is like 70-80 degrees so I'm ready for it. Plus, I want October to get here soon - it'll be our 1 year anniversary and Smoky Mountains trip!

@CocoBellaF - Our office is always freezing too. There are times I have worn two sweaters...and still wished I had mittens.
@caseface5 - Wow #6?! That must be some kind of record.
@cu97tiger - I wasn't ready to work today either. This is going to be a busy week for me at work but at least we have the long weekend to look forward to!
@speakeasy14 - Sorry you no longer have your team, but it must feel so good to know that you've got this - all by yourself!
@southernpeach89 - Yay, winter melon! Whatever that is....
@minskat30 - HA! That's funny. I couldn't be as productive as you in the morning. In fact, DH is usually on his own (and usually even packs my lunch!) It's all I can do to roll out of bed and get dressed every morning.
@MissKittyDanger - Yay for shopping!
@futuremrshistorian - That sounds like a great birthday plan!
@Jstump2 - oh no! I hope you feel better soon. At least you can have ice cream

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@Jstump2 ooo I hope you start to feel better soon. I've never heard of Oral Thrush before...it does not sound pleasant. How much longer until you're in 2nd trimester?

casey1219 · September 2015

I haven't been on here in FOREVER. The first month of school turns me into a workaholic, and I've worked even when I'm not at school. Such is the life of a teacher.

The bright side is, this time last week, I was gearing up to be at school all day because of a late meeting, but today, I can leave as soon as the last bus is loaded. YAY me!

I'm also really excited... last night BF and I went shopping at our local outlet mall. He asked if I wanted to stop in at Zales and look at rings. I told him it was up to him, so he went in. We looked at a few rings, and they were having a great sale. BF bought my engagement ring on the spot. I don't know what it looks like/when I'll get it, but I was not allowed to go back to the counter to see what he bought. He showed my mom and dad last night, and my mom is super excited.

I'm in a pretty good mood this Tuesday!

I've missed being here on the boards. Hope you all have a great day!

speakeasy14 · September 2015

@jstump2 Oh no! Hope you start feeling better soon. Definitely keep taking yogurt and other probiotics, to prevent any other type of yeast infection.

minskat30 · September 2015

@beachyone15 - Ha! Lunch is the one thing I don't pack for him. He asked me recently if he thinks he should bring lunch to work and I told him no because it would just be added to my morning routine.

@jstump2 - Ugh, oral thrush sucks. I've managed to avoid it (I take an asthma medicine that makes me prone to get it) but my sister is a nurse's assistant and has patients with it all the time. Hugs. I hope it gets better soon.

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

I think I should start a blog about "Funny Things My Husband Says"...yesterday it was the whole cocks in order/ducks in a row deal and just now he was telling me about a car "tail gagging" him. I told him it was "tailgating" and he was adamant that I was wrong because "that's the party thing people do at football games". Yes, H, but a phrase can mean multiple things.

Now I'll have the image of gagging stuck in my head all day....

This board is too slow today....share a GIF of how you are feeling today with me please?

eilis1228 · September 2015

Today is one of those days where I feel like Michel Gerard on Gilmore Girls... I just can't today with people. I've had like three emails today with really annoying, complicated, dumb questions about things I'd already explained... My favorite coworker who sits in the office right across from my mine keeps trying to talk about my bachelorette by shouting at me from her desk (i.e. the whole department just heard her ask, "DID YOU GET TOASTED?!"), and I still haven't had my morning tea!

*sigh* I'm also really mad at myself for eating fast food, soda, and chocolate last night. Discipline, where art thou? But seriously, I have a dress fitting next Wednesday and bridal portraits two weeks from today. Self, get yo life!

Anywho, still riding the high of my invitations not being burned up and my friend telling me that he and his girlfriend are for sure coming to the wedding. I told him he was our first RSVP, so we're going to celebrate this weekend.

Is it Friday yet? Please?

Ah, crap. Department meeting. I'll be back later to respond to everyone!

beachyone15 · September 2015

How I'm feeling....

There was a post started on CC about how someone "lost their pants":

speakeasy14 · September 2015

@minskat30 gifs to represent my thoughts on bachelor in paradise

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@speakeasy14 AGH I didn't watch it last night! WE watched it on Sunday and it was crazy pants...people are weird lol. I'll catch up tonight.

@TwoDimes I'm glad too she isn't coming yet, honestly I thought she was going to come early for a while because I was just feeling so much pressure down there and it just felt like she was wanting to come out lol. No dilation doesn't necessarily mean that she will stay in there though until the end though...it could happen whenever but she needs to hang out more until @labro and my parents get back from vacation next week lol.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@TwoDimes Me either lol...whatever. All I know is that she is big and heavy.

teddygirl9 · September 2015

It's now become my lifes goal to get into one of these threads before its on the 2nd page. You guys wake up too early!

My monday was okay. I put off doing actual work, since my boss is out of town. Just makes the rest of my week busy, but I'll deal. My work is also starting a water challenge (drinking it) today. So I'll be peeing 90 times or so.

Peaseblossom55 · September 2015

I am hoping September is a way better month than August but already I just want September to go by really really fast. I'm trying to keep busy and keep my mind occupied with studying. A month from today I take the test. I better pass this stupid thing, it's caused me way too much stress.

We have to go to the funeral home today around 1, not even sure for what or why. I am dreading going, it's not even to pick up her ashes yet either. I have a feeling today is just not going to be a good day. I hope I can change that and surprise myself. H & I are looking at jewelry to wear to honor Anneliese. H wanted to get me a pandora like charm made from some of her ashes. Honestly not sure if that's too weird or if it's nice.

I need to eat and take care of laundry I should be back in a little bit.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@Peaseblossom55 - Thoughts and prayers are with you today and every day as you go through this incredibly difficult time. I don't think there's any "right" or "wrong," "weird" or "not weird" to honor the memory of your child. Whatever brings you and your H comfort is the right way.

Anneliese is a beautiful name.
