Happy Friday!

mrsconn23 · May 2017

Who's getting their margarita on tonight?

I have a hair appt after work (actually, I'm cutting out a little early to go) and then we're going to our friend's house. It's H's childhood friend. I'm close with his wife (we have the same name and our bdays are two days apart). She's hosting bunco. DH and the kids will hang out with her H and their kids (they have two daughters the kiddo's age and two sons around DefConn's age).

Tomorrow, the kiddo has to work. I guess FIL is coming over. It's going to rain some more, so I'm not sure what else we'll have going on...and I could use a lazy Saturday, so bring it on. I may just binge Netflix since Sense8 season 2 dropped today.

Sunday, DH said something about going with his uncle to his cousin's college...I think she's moving home for the summer. It's 3 hours each way and I'm sure it's going to be a couple hours of packing or whatever. DH works nights and goes in on Sunday as his first night of the week. DH will get all pissy about Sunday plans (especially afternoon or early evening) because he 'needs to sleep', but he's going to go on an 8 hour trip with his uncle? I called him on his BS. We'll see what happens, but I was highly annoyed when he presented this plan.

What's up with you?

Are you doing anything fun to your hair MrsConn?

we are having our typical, lazy Friday. There was a gathering of people at our friend's place last night. We have all sworn off the bar because it is too damn expensive. I was supposed to meet a new lady friend for yoga this morning but blew it off for BCBC. I apologized and she wasn't upset, I felt bad but not enough to tell DH no, lol

I'm getting my sleep on tonight.

H and I got into a fight last night. We're both stressed and he's pretty miserable about job stuff and it's all coming to a head. He's an introvert, quiet by nature, and doesn't share his feelings, like at all. All of which I've known for a long time, but he's been short and kind of rude lately, and I was pissed. We had a long talk/cry that was a long time coming. We made up (yay make-up sex), but I'm exhausted. He's leaving today to go to his land in PA so I think that will help a bit.

And we started Girls last night and I can't decide if I like it.

NOLABridesmaid · May 2017

Yes, a nice rita for me!!!!

@mrsconn23 Isn't it funny how people change their standards for themselves?
@missJeanLouise Everytime I see BCBC, I think of the Breeder's Cup. For a bit, I was so confused about how bets would interfere with yoga in the morning. Lol!

I'm at the airport, guys. I've been at my gate an hour and still have another until boarding starts! I'm so grumpy this morning, which is making me sad because mornings are my favorite part of the day.
I hope you all have better Fridays!

Also I hope there's a good restaurant near the hotel.

bleve0821 · May 2017

A quiet weekend at home for us. We have some cleaning and mulching to do, and some other miscellaneous projects (Twiggy ate another bird trapped on the porch, which DH had to clean up this time, so he finally ordered the stuff we need for the dog door out to the deck. Sigh.).

Book club was good last night. I'm easily the youngest member of the group, which wasn't really a surprise but was a little disappointing all the same. I'm joining another one that's run though some kinda sorta local bar in a couple of weeks. I think I can even get DH interested in that one. No one told me to GTFO when I told them I didn't like the book and why, and I forgot how much fun it is to have open discussions about literature.

That's it for us. I feel like we had something else going on, but I'm drawing a blank, so I guess it's not happening...? I hope it wasn't important...

Yep, that's why I immediately was all, "Who's it, what's it, the fuck now?" DH was kind like, "Uhh..." about my reaction. He had to go to sleep, but we'll talk more when he wakes up. I'm hoping the bulk of my annoyance subsides.

I don't know!!! I colored it a reddish color last time and that color is mostly holding, so I might just get some highlights.

bleve0821 · May 2017

@NiceKindaSpice, sounds like a trip to the airport bar could improve your morning.

DrillSergeantCat · May 2017

The babes had school pictures this morning. Wrangling Mouse was a workout. The photographer would barely get a picture snapped before Mouse ran off. I can't wait to get them back, though.

My favorite antiques sale is today and tomorrow, but only until 4 each day. It doesn't get dark until 8 so I don't understand why it's ending so early. I don't get off work until 4:30 so today is out and H has to work tomorrow until 12, then I have a baby shower from 2-4 so tomorrow is out. Why can't it be on Sunday, too? Grr.

missJeanLouise · May 2017

@charlotte989875 Girls is one of those shows where you aren't necessarily supposed to like the characters. I like the show but everyone in it is horrible, lol.
@NiceKindaSpice I am pretty sure why god created airport bars.

@atomicblonde What book was it?
@mrsconn23 ohhhh I would love to see if you feel like sharing later.

mrsconn23 · May 2017

I ended up really liking Girls. The last 2 seasons were the best out of the whole series. Yes, they are self-involved assholes most of the time. Don't expect that to change.

CharmedPam · May 2017

I really do want Mexican food tonight, but all the places will be crazy busy and I don't like crowds. DH wants to have dinner with one of his friends and his son, which I guess I'll go along with, if i can't have my fajitas.

this weekend is a mini getaway with another couple (and their newborn baby who is freaking adorbs). We're just going to visit some attractions and museums and eat and drink and be merry. It's just for one night. We all want to get out of dodge. I'm really looking forward to it.

charlotte989875 · May 2017

Glad I'm not the only one who felt this way!

missJeanLouise · May 2017

DH watched a video of a goat trying to eat a kid's hair causing the kid (probably about 2yo) to bump it's head and fall down. DH laughed then said "I want a baby". What!?!

Interesting chain of events. Has he expressed this desire before?

Also, I want a goat.

We made the "let's see where we are in 2 years" decision when we moved here but he waffles from "this is why I don't want kids" to "when we have kids". His clock is ticking but our life style is not kid friendly and we don't really want to change. Yet.

kvruns · May 2017

Rain rain rain, thank goodness I'm not running the Mini tomorrow because that would be miserable. No weekend plans. H said something about wanting to go to a car show near his home town on Sunday which is about 1.5 hours away. He would be gone all day but whatever makes life easier for me so I hope he goes.

Really need to get on top of some house work and cooking, etc but I just have no energy in the evenings.

H and I are supposed to be running a 10k trail race on Sunday. We've had nonstop rain for two days and it's supposed to continue through Monday. Oh and there's a high of 39 and potential snow in the forecast for Sunday.....I may be backing out.

sparklepants41 · May 2017

Half day for me today - just have to run a strategy meeting before I leave at Noon.

My baby shower is tomorrow afternoon so I made an appointment to get a blowout beforehand - I'm super excited!

It's going to rain cats and dogs here this afternoon, so i am going to curl up under a blanket and finally start reading this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28257707-the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-f-ck

I'm getting lab work done today which I am not looking forward to. Lab techs always want to rush and use the bigger needle and then they end up blowing the vein. And then they act all annoyed even though I was like "hey, use this vein and this gauge needle." I'm not just saying it for shits and giggles, this saves us both time and discomfort.

Otherwise...I really don't have anything to do. So that's nice. Tomorrow SO's sister and her bf are coming over and we're going to the movies. Indian food last night was a half success. My old garam masala that I got from an actual Indian store had expired, so I picked some up from our local grocery store and it's not even close to the same. The old garam masala I had was so potent I could smell it through the bag and Tupperware. This one barely smells when you open the cap and stick your nose in. So I'm throwing it away and going back to the authentic stuff.

We got kitten a new toy and she played with it all night. She has that look kids get when they play too hard and then you think you should have taken away the toy for their own good. Lol.

bleve0821 · May 2017

@missJeanLouise, The Light Between Oceans. I could beat this book to death.

I go back and forth all the time about having kids. I know right now we're not in a place where we want to start a family, but I feel like that's something we both have to be 1000% on board with before we make that decision, since it's a commitment that is so much bigger than marriage, a mortgage, etc, and right now, I'm not even 50-50.

Sometimes I want to have kids, sometimes I selfishly want to never give up the life we have now and be able to retire early, and sometimes I feel like I'm getting pressure from family and friends to have kids (which, naturally, makes me push back and say HELL NO, because that's what I do.... You say "Go left," I go right.).

It's funny, both my mom and MIL have said to me, "I didn't really want kids. Dad/FIL had to talk me into that." And I'm here thinking, Whaaaaaaa? I can't even imagine how that conversation would go...

@charlotte989875, one of my friends has a pair of goats. She loves them, and loves having them.

sparklepants41 · May 2017

@levioosa sending you good vibes for your lab work!!

This is exactly how I feel (and have been feeling far more acutely lately). I think we're both on the fence about kids in general. We're definitely not in a place where they're possible right now. Sometimes I'm all in. But many, many others I'm all "we haven't travelled as much as we want to yet, we're just getting to a good financial place and we want to enjoy that". I have no idea.

I think if we got goats Charlie (our rescue black lab-border collie mix would be terrified.

Their boxer is. The goats love to chase him.

I would probably back out too if it ends up raining/snowing for it. Especially on trails

NiceKindaSpice · May 2017

@atomicblonde & @missJeanLouise Perhaps, but I do not drink so that's not an option.

@sparklepants41 I hope you read shower goes fantastically!
@levioosa Geez, that's obnoxious. Prayers that you have an easy time today!!

This is also how I feel about kids. Ambivalent at best. I'm not sure if SO actually wants kids, or if he just thinks it's the "thing to do." He's mentioned wanting kids for "his family" before which I think is completely wrong. Have kids because YOU want to, not because your family pressures you. I don't even think he knows how he really feels. Which, I can't blame him because I can't figure out if I want them either.

6fsn · May 2017

It's STILL raining here too. I had to turn the furnace on because the house was down to 63. All of the opening day baseball stuff is pushed to Sunday. I'm waiting to see if soccer is cancelled tomorrow. I don't think I've ever seen the river so high. I can't imagine the fields are going to be any good.

I'm getting my haircut tomorrow. I'm thinking somewhat like this or however my hairdresser thinks my hair will respond. I hope she's got her broom ready!

DH leaves after that and is OOT until Wednesday.

Oh and I'm officially VP of the PTO for the 2017/2018 school year.

Happy Friday!
