@TwoDimes - NOOOOOOOOOOO! Sign up for BookBub immediately! They send you an email every day with super cheap and FREE books that are available. You can customize it to the types of books you like. For example: I just finished 'Killing Me Softly' by Bianca Sloane which is free for Kindle (still)!
I made it before there were 3 pages!!! Yesssssssss!
@swazzle Bean's coach swears by a 10 minute ice bath immediately following a hard work out. I have yet to subject him to it, cause I just feel bad. Like little boy and testicles in an ice bath? It just seems like child abuse to me. (Also, I'm sorry I just mentioned his testicles. And I'm sorry I just did it again.)
@goldenpenguin I love you so so so so so so so so (I could keep going) much! I love how kind your H is. He's seriously in my top 10 favorite people on the planet. And I love how he takes care of you.
@helloliv WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?! A 45 minute wall sit????? HOW IS THAT HUMANLY POSSIBLE?? Also, when Elijah gets in serious trouble, H makes him do wall sits, with his arms outstretched and a heavy book or something in his hands. I'm happy to report that he hasn't gotten in enough trouble to warrant this in quite some time.
So the contractors finished installing the cabinets, except for 1 door which came damaged. Then the electrician showed up and announced we have to rip out a ton of drywall to install some extra outlets to come up to current code. I really should have known this since building code is my job. The counter installers came this morning to remeasure. I had to leave a staff meeting to go let them in, because they were banging on the door for 30 minutes and H was just sleeping away. I tried calling him and his phone was dead.
What'd you have for dinner last night? Slow cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken and rice. It was bland. I was sad.
What is/was for breakfast? Two cups of coffee
What are you wearing today? Black and grey striped shirt and black slacks
What's a good show you're currently watching? The only show I'm addicted to right now is Last Week Tonight. I started watching Scream Queens but missed several episodes, so I need to find it OD, cause I loved it. Other than that I usually watch BBT reruns.
Are you reading anything right now? Sadly, no.
How do you like your coffee/tea? Coffee with lots of flavored creamer, tea with honey.
What would you do if you came across $1000 (you have to spend it)? Put it towards kitchen stuff.
What toppings do you like on your pizza? Depends on the day. I love a good white pizza with chicken, but I also love Ledo's Pizza with pepperoni.
What's making you happy today? My coworkers. The majority of them are amazing. Also, No-Uh turned into a kissy face monster about a week ago. We're both sick and not sleeping well, and he woke me up about 4 times in the middle of the night giving me kisses.
Can you believe we're more than halfway through the month of November? NO! My mom would have been turning 70 this month (next Wednesday).
"Stuart was scared, but he loved Margalo, Mommy. And there is nothing bigger than love." -The Bean
"His farts smell like Satan's asshole mixed with a skunk's vagina. But it's okay, because I love him." -CSousa
@GoldenPenguin bf never knows what to do when I'm crying either. Glad your H is being so sweet to you even if he's a little awkward about it . Sending you hugs!!
I'm here late today since I've been super busy at work. Everyone has said what I wanted to say or I've forgotten what I wanted to say by the time I finished reading the thread so I'm just going to answer the questions.
What'd you have for dinner last night? Penne with tomato cream sauce. Actually taking that particular recipe that I have out of rotation since it never tastes right anymore What is/was for breakfast? Slimfast shake What are you wearing today? boots, skinnies, polka dot sweater What's a good show you're currently watching? The Leftovers Are you reading anything right now? I just started reading No Time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay How do you like your coffee/tea? I don't drink either What would you do if you came across $1000 (you have to spend it)? Pay off loans What toppings do you like on your pizza? Depends on where it's from- either just cheese, hamburger, green pepper, spinach & ricotta What's making you happy today? My boss just offered me a sort of promotion..it's a completely new position dealing with a new system that we're getting so everything's still up in the air. I'd still supervise my staff but I think my title would change and I'd get a pay increase. Can you believe we're more than halfway through the month of November? NOOOOOOO
I made it here before there are 3 pages of responses! I think that's my major accomplishment today.
Yesterday I worked from home and had my hair appointment in the afternoon. I am pleased to report that my new stylist is AMAZING and made my hair look like it belongs in a magazine:
Needless to say I'm feeling a little sassy today!
Today I am literally sitting in my office wasting time. I got all my grading done and everything else on my pre-Thanksgiving work to-do list crossed off. We're having a pizza party in class tonight, so I have to go pick up the pizzas here in about an hour and a half, but other than that I'm wasting time on the internet and reading my book.
What'd you have for dinner last night? I stopped at the Middle Eastern deli down the street and got a lamb gyro and a piece of baklava. Mmmmmmm.
What is/was for breakfast? Toast with peanut butter and banana, orange juice, and coffee.
What are you wearing today? Burgundy midi skirt, mustard polka-dot blouse, and these amazing pumps.
What's a good show you're currently watching? Netflix bingeing on West Wing (in addition to my standards: Homeland, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Supergirl).
Are you reading anything right now? Orhan Pamuk's The Museum of Innocence. He's a Turkish novelist, and this is my favorite book of his. I've read it three times.
How do you like your coffee/tea? Black coffee. I drink unsweetened green tea or put honey in other kinds.
What would you do if you came across $1000 (you have to spend it)? Pay it towards my student loans, probably.
What toppings do you like on your pizza? My absolute favorites are chicken/onions/fresh basil. But I'll eat whatever.
What's making you happy today? I get to see BF in 2 weeks, and my nephew in 1 week!
Can you believe we're more than halfway through the month of November? Yeah, no. Not at all.
@jenna8984 - I live in Denver and I love it! I hope you have lots of fun while you're here! @helloliv - You are freaking amazing! 45 minutes?! That's awesome! @jenjen047 - I know your wedding is going to be so amazing you won't even notice your friend's jerk boyfriend! @GoldenPenguin - I'm 100% with you on the rage inducing Facebook stupidity going around right now. I had to delete a couple of people after I was literally crying I was so furious and the bigoted, racist, ignorant bullshit I was reading. I was astounded at some of my friends' reaction to Hickenlooper (Colorado's governor) stating that Colorado would accept refugees. What'd you have for dinner last night? A veggie burger What is/was for breakfast? A turkey sausage and egg sandwich What are you wearing today? Jeans and a light blue sweater What's a good show you're currently watching? I'm currently binge watching Supernatural. There's 10 seasons on Netflix and I'm only on season 2 so I have a lot to catch up on! Are you reading anything right now? I'm reading the last book in the Percy Jackson series How do you like your coffee/tea? Coffee I like with a little bit of french vanilla creamer. Tea I don't put anything in. What would you do if you came across $1000 (you have to spend it)? Put it toward mine and FI's honeymoon. I think we're gonna go to Canada. What toppings do you like on your pizza? Veggies! Green pepper, mushroom, jalapeno, onion, olives - all the veggies!! What's making you happy today? That my classes went really well today and it's almost Thanksgiving break! Can you believe we're more than halfway through the month of November? No! Where did November go?!
@jenna8984 - Red Rocks is awesome. I haven't had the opportunity to go to a concert there yet (they sell out crazy fast) but hopefully someday! Boulder is always fun for a day, there's lots of interesting streets on Pearl street and plenty of entertaining street performers. FI and I are into lots of hiking (will you be here in the summer?) Devil's Head Lookout is a great hike with an amazing view at the top and it's close to Denver. Oh and there are so, so many brewery tours you can do! You can do Coors in Golden which is probably the biggest but Odell's Brewery in Fort Collins is my absolute favorite. The art museum and the museum of natural history are fun too. If I had to pick one restaurant to go to I'd pick The Cherry Cricket, it's a great local burger place. It's ridiculously good.
Thanks, @Peaseblossom55 ! @jenjen047, it was a long process. Basically she painted some bleach and a sort of pink color onto some of the strands and then colored over the whole thing with a coppery red.
@bethsmiles thanks that sound awesome! I'll be there Dec 3rd and since I'm going straight from a business trip I probably won't have room to pack hiking boots. But the other stuff sounds great!

So glad to hear you got good news @Peaseblossom55
