    I'm stressed... here's why:
    -We need a new a/c unit (which we probably won't get until March, but still, beaucoup $$)
    -My new hire started - I basically spend 24/7 with her and hope I'm not letting other things fall through the cracks
    -DH has decided that when we repair the ceiling and wall from the a/c leak, we should also demolish the plaster over one wall to expose the brick behind it. 1) I love the shelves we hung there and if they damage those or can't use them anymore, I'll be pissed. 2) Who knows what else is lurking back there... I feel like we're opening a can of worms for no good reason.
    -Money in general. We're in good shape, but I hate the way we budget (or don't budget, as the case may be). I cannot shake this feeling that we are going to have to work until we're 80 all because we go out too much now. Yet, I don't want to give up my awesome planned vacations.

    I need caffeine.

    @cu97tiger I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to retire. I told H we really need to watch what we're spending so we can get a house sooner and he said he "doesn't want to live like a miser". Ugh. I don't either but I also don't want to work until I'm 80!

    I hate Tuesdays- they drag on FOREVER. I have so much stuff to do at work that I just don't want to do.

    @cu97tiger - I've spent the morning figuring shit out/stressing about money. I paid off our only credit card with a balance which was a bit painful but felt good at the same time. The balance was fairly high so we were wasting so much money in interest each month, it was stupid and irresponsible. But, whatever, it's gone now. Now I'm trying to figure out how much I can throw at my stupid student loans because I'm so sick of them! I know that we could pay them (and our car debts) off faster if we changed our lifestyle but life is for living so no thank you. 

    **********

    Last night, I went to the gym and took a "Total Tone" class. It. was. awesome. Everything hurts today but it's worth it! I really liked the instructor which is good because I'd like to stick with that class on my early nights and she also teaches the class I want to try tomorrow which is "Core & More". After the gym, I got dinner at Panera, picked up beer, showered, and then watched a heartbreaking Eagles loss. I went to bed angry. 

    Today is work, taming my eyebrows, gym for as long as I can stand, cooking a BA meal, then relaxing on the couch with H and watching Big Brother at 8. He was away Saturday and Sunday and then had a hockey game last night so I feel like I've barely seen him and I miss him!

    Tuesday just feels like repeat-a-Monday to me. I never quite feel in the groove of things 'til around Wednesday. To say I'm riding the struggle bus would be an understatement. I feel like it's dragging me behind it. Blah.

    Good news though! BF has gotten a better job - MUCH better pay, benefits, and a schedule that doesn't have him getting off work at 10:00 at night. Since he bought my ring, it finally seems like things are falling into place (I hope). I still don't have the ring yet and don't know when I will, but I'm living life and enjoying it in the meantime. I'm proud of myself. I've not driven him nuts with questions, nor have I tried to bring up anything wedding related. More than anything, I'm proud that I haven't gone totally BSC with knowing he has the ring. (If I weren't GIF-challenged, I'd find a happy dance one.)

    Tonight, BF and I will probably grab a bite and do some shopping because I desperately need some fall-friendly work clothes, and I will be going to bed early tonight. I already need a nap.

    @Cu97Tiger I hear you on the money thing. We are in the same position. 

    @Swazzle that game was rough. I have Cody Parkey and Jordan Matthews on my fantasy team so we were watching intently. I won, by two points, but man was that a close game. 

    Last night BF had a scare at the house. He was grilling steak and apparently the grease catch pan needs to be cleaned because he went out and there was a huge fire in the grill. He put it out and very calmly, but afterwords he told me that he was actually very scared and his heart was pounding. I'm glad he was able to handle it.

    Today I am feeling much better. I don't know why but lately my TOTM has been kicking my ass and I am a completely different person on the first day. Even my coworker commented on it yesterday. I should probably get to a doctor about that...

    Here's to hoping this week gets better!

    @minskat30 - That's my plan for tonight! H might have to help me wash my hair later because I'm not sure I'll be able to lift my arms LOL I wish I could make it to that class every week because I really enjoyed it.

    @miskat30 jeez, people have no etiquette!

    Last night didn't do much. I premade a chicken on Sunday so we had that. Went over budget stuff. Looks like in about 2yrs we'll have saved enough for a down payment! Our plan is save as much as possible and maybe only use a certain amount as down payment and have extra as a few things - slush fund and if anything needs to be prepaid or rented. Also we'll want to buy a BBQ .... tbh if I know we're buying a house soon I may save and get Matt a BBQ for his bday/anniversary gift mix. {they're less than a month between}

    Not much else. Matt's working late for a good chunk of this week because the client on a project he's on are in town.

    My TOTM fiiiiiiinally started.  My back aches and I am wearing clothes that feel like PJs.  I'm also really hungry.

    Tonight I'm going to practice my pumpkin bread recipe for the baking class this weekend!  I'm going to do muffins tonight because we're having a bake sale at work tomorrow.  I'm doing a ginger and pumpkin recipe, I can't wait to eat a muffin (or two).

    I'm off early-ish today because I have a doctor's appt this afternoon.  Only 5 hours left of this day.  

    Yesterday I popped dinner in the oven and then went over to my brother's house to do intervals on his treadmill.  I did that for an hour while watching something on Netflix, then went back home.  Dinner still had an hour and a half in the oven, so I trimmed all the bushes and cleaned up the flower beds and the front porch, planted the fall plants I bought over the weekend, and decorated the front porch a little.  I need to recover an outdoor pillow in some fall fabric and then the porch will be perfect!

    @cu97tiger I feel like H & I will be in the never retiring club either. 

    @minskat30 I hate when people are so ignorant about that kind of stuff :-(

    I'm tired, even though I got a decent night of sleep. I slept for almost 5 hours and only woke up once.  My sleep hasn't been good at all lately.  I had a really bad day yesterday, it was not pretty.  Today at least seems and feels better, not sure why either.  I'm ready for this week to be over already.  I'm also so sick of studying, I just keep telling myself about 2 more weeks left!

    My systems at work were finally back up and running yesterday afternoon, but now that they are back up I really don't feel like doing anything.  It seems a bit insignificant too. 

    Anniversary

    @cocobellaf - Ugh, sorry about TOTM.  Hugs.

    @peaseblossom55 - All the hugs to you.  I hope today is better.  The studying sounds terrible and I would be sick of it too...fingers and toes crossed for you that you pass and never have to do it again.

    I haven't been around in a few days, but I'm happy to report I am feeling MUCH better. My tongue is pretty much back to normal, YAY!

    @cu97tiger I go back and forth between felling like were in a good place money-wise and feeling like we should be doing more for retirement. It doesn't help that I'm not the most money-minded person so I have kind of a  hard time really wrapping my head around it.
    @lavenderfields13 I agree on Tuesdays, especially this one since I spent the majority of yesterday thinking it was Tuesday.
    @Swazzle I feel the same way about my student loans, if we were to really buckle down and increase payments they would get paid off sooo much faster but I don't want to miss out on things. Life's too short!
    @southernpeach89 LOVE the nursery. The curtains are so cute. I'm starting to think about nursery decor and reading blogs, etc. THat bookshelf is so cute. Ive always wanted to decorate a bookshelf like that but their always too full of books. lol. I would count those strawberries as a pintrest win. I'm sure they were delicous, which is what matters most!
    @casey1219 congrats to your bf on the new job!
    @caseface5 glad the fire was able to be put out quickly. My H once turned the oven on self clean with the pizza stone in it (he thought he was killing 2 birds with 1 stone). There was so much smoke and the inside of the oven ignited. You can't open the oven while it's on self clean so we couldn't put it out. He ended up calling the fire department. Luckily there was no damage.

    @alpacina - Agreed, we are so sad not to have our dog coming with us. But my parents will be only about 30 minutes away and we are down there pretty frequently. And TBH, she is way more spoiled at their house than ours. My mom is home with her all day and has the time to take her for 2-3 mile walks most days of the week....compared to FI and I where she is home alone all day and rarely gets more than a 10 minute walk.

    @caseface5 - So soon! We are moving to their place July 20, I think. Start the countdown!

    @minskat30 People say the stupidest shit. It seems like there are so many people that still think it's OK to discuss personal stuff like that with no filter. Like right after I got married everyone was hounding me about if I was pregnant yet and there better be a baby by next year. Mmmk...and yesterday my boss was talking about how his son will be 3 so people were all "oh it's time for another one!" Maybe they're trying and it's not happening right now, maybe they don't want another child. Just shut up people.

    @swazzle I need some of your energy. Um and yours too @southernpeach89! 

    @casey219 I was actually way less BSC after H had the ring because I finally knew it was actually going to happen. 

    @jenjen047 fingers crossed on the apartment!!
