PSFREAKINGA:

TRADER JOE'S HORSERADISH HUMMUS. OH MY GOD.

I want to eat it forever, put it on everything, maybe even bathe in it. It is SO GOOD. Highly, highly recommend.

How's the weather?
We're under a constant tornado watch. The sirens were going off in the neighboring suburb while I was at the doc this morning. It's gross.

What are you wearing today?
leggings as pants (IDGAF), tank, flowy blouse tunic thing, and boots

What's for breakfast?
my feelings.

What's for lunch?
mix green salad with strawberries, pecans, and goat cheese, mandarin oranges, and a boiled egg

What's for dinner?
whatever I can get my hands on. Work is a little unpredictable tonight with the weather.

Are you currently reading anything?
HP and the OotP

If you could be anywhere on the planet right now, where and with who?
I would be any place it isn't raining with anyone who isn't a medical professional. So, like, all of NEY?

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

By the time I got here yesterday, the daily thread was dead.

Bridezilla and I had it out yesterday afternoon, five days before the wedding. It took two and a half hours of texting back and forth, but I told her she's been a complete bitch to me and she shouldn't be surprised that our friendship is complete shit. She halfway apologized and has promised to be better about things in the future.

Then she went and fired half the bartending staff who happen to be close friends of co-MOH's. They were giving her a friend discount ($300, no travel costs, for a destination, 6 hour reception) and she still couldn't afford to pay them.

I'm letting co-MOH handle that one, as @eilis1228 reminded me that's not my circus or my monkey. co-MOH is having it out with her as I type.

This morning I went to the lady doctor for the first time in 9 years. Doc isn't concerned about my now-2 missed cycles and is starting me on some meds to get that going again. I'll get my IUD at the end of the month! Advice and vibes are welcome.

Tonight I'll be sung in at chorus rehearsal! I'm super stoked, but this weather has my spirits low and I don't want to work at all.

I get to have breakfast with @cu97tiger in just TWO days!! This week is already flying by and I'm in love with that fact.

Now, to go and respond to everyone!

@alpacina that tree is so pretty! What kind is it? Looks like a cherry blossom

@wink0erin oh you better hit up that pool! Nobody knows you, nobody cares what you look like, if they do screw them! Glad you got some unintentional cleaning done.

@speakeasy14 Thaaaaaat's adorable

Also, HORSERADISH HUMMUS? DEAR SWEET JESUS I NEED IT.

Swazzle · March 2016

@audrewuh - I think yours is the first text I've ever received from someone in the stirrups. I thank you for that

Re: IUD. Take something an hour before you go. Plan to go home and relax the rest of the day/night. Measuring hurts worse than the actual insertion. Are you getting Skyla, Mirena, or Paragard?

speakeasy14 · March 2016

@AlPacina I want your tree.

@wink0erin haha I love your response to what you're wearing

@audrewuh so I think I'm the most recent to have gotten an IUD. Feel free to pm or text me. I will say that the insertion was a bitch, but I haven't had any issues since.

Swazzle · March 2016

@wink0erin - It might be one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. My only mistake was bringing a mere 2 tablespoons of it to work with me today. Note to future self: 1 container is 1 serving.

labro · March 2016

@wink0erin You are hysterical! For once I am NOT wearing the same outfit I always wear.

@audrewuh Good luck at the IUD appointment! It's not the same for everyone, but I'd still plan on going home afterwards and relaxing...because who doesn't deserve an afternoon off every once in awhile?

@swazzle but you did your coworkers a favor because 1 container =

@wink0erin - Your picture is my favorite! Your eyes are gorgeous.

@jenna8984 - I do not know trees at all, but it definitely is exactly what I'd picture when someone says cherry blossom to me. There are going to be flowers EVERYWHERE very soon.

@Swazzle It's always been 1 container = 1 serving. That 2 tbs stuff is nonsense!

Swazzle · March 2016

@AlPacina - I had cherry blossoms at the top of my aisle:

@AlPacina

P.S - pretty tree!

audrewuh · March 2016

@swazzle you look adorable today. Simple = comfy = best choice

@southernpeach89 I need to get my car washed, too, but this storm came in. H suggested I just throw some soap on it while it rains...

@CocoBellaF you need to chill, woman!! That's great that you got everything done, but whew, your baby needs you to slow your roll.

@twodimes - which book by Gillian Flynn? I recently read Dark Places and it was really good. Much better than Gone Girl. Also, that class you took in high school sounds freaking amazeballs!!

@minskat OMG that hotel overlooking the bay like that! I just can't. Also, that baby elephant! Ani is going to be the most culturally diverse and proud baby ever.

@untouchablets Happy Belated Birthday!! Also, black cherry ale? Delicious!

@jenna8984 YAY BABY BOY!!!!!!

@beachyone15 Texas drivers are the worst with precipitation!!

@labro your burgers for dinner sound incredible.

Oh hi there, @KeptInStitches! I'm glad you're enjoying teaching! It really does take a while to get into the swing of things. Eventually it does stop feeling like a whinefest all the time!

@eilis1228 I just downloaded a sample of the nightingale!! I'm intrigued so far. Also, I'm super glad you made it to work okay. The flobatamist at the dr's office had to check the windows in her room to make sure the winds were low enough for us to be safe in there. Good stuff. I'm seriously not okay with tornadoes.

@speakeasy14 omg puppy can read!! You're so lucky to get such a smart dog. She's going to get so much accomplished while you're at work.

@AlPacina THAT TREE!! I love it! It's like from a storybook or something!

AlPacina · March 2016

@audrewuh - Did you see the movie version of Dark Places? I haven't watched it yet but it's on my Netflix list. It was probably my least favorite of her main 3 novels, but I still loved all of them, so that's not really an insult to it, haha.

I'm sorry that you're having a rough day! Text or message me if you want. I'm dying to get through today as quickly as possible.

@swazzle - *jaw drops* Next to that fountain? Omg, that's gorgeous!

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

Anyone start watching House of Cards S4 yet? We only got through one episode last night before I had to go to bed, but I'm so excited!!! It's gonna be so dramatic!!!!

eilis1228 · March 2016

@audrewuh hahaha a bunch of people at my office have said the same thing about soap on the car during the storm. Apparently Keller was pummeled with hail-- good stuff. In my neck of the woods it's just a deluge of rain. There was some hail earlier, but it was tiny. I really think Bridezilla is a glutton for drama if she's stirring the pot the week of her wedding. It's ridiculous. I'm glad you stayed out of her drama with co-MOH--it's the last thing you need this week! Please text me after you're sung in! I want to hear all about it!

@AlPacina OMG that tree is stunning! You live in a fairy tale!

*****************
I had to back-to-back meetings this morning that let out just in time for lunch.

Swazzle · March 2016

@AlPacina - I was so obsessed with season 1 and got halfway through season 2 but then life happened and I had to pause my marathon and I still haven't caught up. Maybe that should be next on my list!

untouchablets · March 2016

@alpacina lol I would be dancing and screaming and like nudging him because all he does is stand there and the girl would look at me like

@wink0erin I'll share a pic of the first page I color! I haven't done anything with it yet but I can't wait to!

@audrewuh I wish I could remember the name of the ale, I'd drink it forever and ever!

audrewuh · March 2016

@swazzle @speakeasy14 and @labro thanks! I will make sure to schedule it on a day where I can be lazy and in pj pants all day. Doc said to take 3 motrin before I go in. He's strongly recommending the mirena for me.

@AlPacina I actually stumbled across a review for the movie and it had a lot of negative things to say about it. I think the ending is changed? I know there's a somewhat major plot point that is left out. It's an indi film, so it's not a high production like GG was.

@TwoDimes If you and Al were meh about Dark Places I'm kind of nervous to read Sharp Objects. I think it was @eilis1228 that was telling me that one really stuck with her for a while? I have to moderate how many violent books I read/how much true crime tv I watch. My dream factory has an overactive imagination!

eilis1228 · March 2016

@audrewuh Yeah, Sharp Objects is the one that stuck with me for a while. @AlPacina and I have talked on here about how good it was. Super creepy, but REALLY good! It's my favorite Gillian Flynn book.

labro · March 2016

@audrewuh Just curious why the Mirena? Is it an insurance coverage question? If you're going the hormonal IUD route I would always go for Skyla over Mirena. It's smaller and it's intended for women who have never had children (insertion is slightly easier). It lasts 3 years instead of 5, but still. Just wondering I guess.

wink0erin · March 2016

I just wanted to inform everyone that I am having ice cream for lunch. Guinness ice cream. Because I'm an adult.

AlPacina · March 2016

@swazzle - I really hope you get back into it. Season 1 is still my favorite, but every season has been completely different so far, which I love. This season already seems like it's gonna be so crazy!

@TwoDimes - I'll let you know how the movie is when I see it. Sharp Objects is DARK, but if you are even slightly into that kind of stuff you should love it. I could not put that book down, and I definitely read it in one day.

@audrewuh - Sharp Objects is pretty messed up. Like, definitely one of the most messed up things I've read that wasn't straight up horror. The only thing I can think of that was worse is Perfume. But it's also so different from anything else, which is why I liked it. It gave me some dreams afterward, for sure.

audrewuh · March 2016

@labro My doc recommended it for insurance reasons, yes. He said that my cervix looked like a good candidate for a mirena as well.

@wink0erin you are my HERO!

This is one of my favorite phrases of all time.

Swazzle · March 2016

@audrewuh - YOU HAVE A BIG OL' CERVIX?

JK I love you

@AlPacina - I'll definitely make it my next show to binge. Season 1 was SO good and season 2 definitely started out strong.

ETA: @TwoDimes @eilis1228 @AlPacina - I actually liked Dark Places the best, then Sharp Objects, then Gone Girl. They're all super creepy and dark, though, and I'm glad I have you all to share that book obsession with

I'd vote for her cervix loooooooong before I'd vote for Trump. How do we get it to enter the race?!?

And speaking of cervixes, Happy International Women's Day!

speakeasy14 · March 2016

@labro for me, my dr recommended Mirena because of my migraines. I think the other option was the copper one (I don't remember the name). They didn't give me Skyla as an option at all though.

See this is SO STRANGE to me? Do you think it's because it's newer on the market? Skyla and Mirena are essentially the same thing other than the size of the IUD and the length of time you have before they recommend getting a new one.
