so guys.... what's up? 

holly321

I only work today and tomorrow, and then I get to see my nieces and nephew, who I have only seen 2 or 3 times. TW since my brother died at Christmas.   My SIL has a boyfriend, we are meeting him Wednesday.  I get it and I am okay with the relationship, its just....hard.   end TW

Saturday is Dh's birthday, so I am trying to plan something fun, just depends if we can find some time alone. 

Hollyyyyy

@holly321 I'm sorry, that's tough   

I saw mother! last night, and am still confused AF. I can't figure out exactly what the point of it was. Anyone else seen it?

We're drinking the yummy Prosecco from Italy and watching Insecure. It's been a great Monday evening. Anyone else watch this show? So freaking funny.



@holly321 Girl, *hugs* That is hard. I'm glad you get to see your nieces and nephew and hope everything goes as well as it can. Did you decide what to get your H?

holly321

@SkilledSailor, I haven't! and I wasn't able to go out much this weekend due to some family issues.  I am going out probably tomorrow, he wants some particular tools, which to me sounds like a crappy gift, but it is what he asked for, so I guess that's a start.

@holly321 that's so hard. **hugs** but i'm glad to hear SIL keeps in touch and you have a relationship with all.  
@SkilledSailor yummy prosecco, i haven't heard of that show.  I'll have to look it up. 

AFM I'm watching second season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.  but it's time for bed so i can get my 8 hours...

what about you @doxiemoxie212

doxiemoxie212

lol @blackhottamales I spent the day waiting for my Whole Foods delivery while on the phone with Amazon. They're entirely unrelated things other than together they took up my whole day. Long story short, someone hacked my Amazon account and it turns out it's extremely hard to get in touch with customer service without access to your account. This was my fourth call with them. It's resolved now though! And groceries finally arrived at 8pm. 

blackhottamales

@doxiemoxie212 wow! at least it's resolved.  but also kind of funny since now Amazon owns Whole Foods.

@doxiemoxie212   What a mess!  Glad they got it straightened out.
@holly321   ((Hugs)) I know it will be sweet to see your niece and nephew, but I know it will be tough too.  How close do you all live to one another?  What plans do you have for your time together?
@SkilledSailor   What's the premise of the show?  I need to look into it if it is funny...I love funny shows.
@blackhottamales  Thank you for the reminder...I need to be heading to bed too!

Pretending I have motivation this morning.

Augusta108

@SkilledSailor, we just started watching Insecure a few weeks ago. We're only a few episodes in but loving it so far! 

Right now we're focusing on rewatching the first season of The Good Place before the second season starts. 

lurvleybunchococonuts

@izza2 what is this "motivation" that you speak of?  Such a foreign concept I cannot wrap my mind around today.

nitnat007

@holly321 ((hugs)) So sorry for your loss and such a tough situation to go through. I hope that no matter what that they are happy, as I am sure that that is what your brother would want for them. It is great that you get to see the kids and stay close with them. GL gift shopping YH sounds like mine. He would also ask for tools. I try and add something small for fun though, even if it is just a treat. 

AFM I have just been asked to teach another class today. I have already done a double workout at the gym this morning and yesterday too......This is going to be how I get around later.

@lurvleybunchococonuts and @izza2
 I wake up thinking I feel like I'm going to be so productive, but then....

I'm not...

blackhottamales

@nitnat007 nice job with the workouts--that GIF, i did that with my dog this past Saturday. too funny.  

SkilledSailor

@dukestar5 It follows Issa mainly with her friend Molly a close second. It's mostly about their work lives and relationships. It sounds so dull now but I promise they make the every day stuff super funny. 

@doxiemoxie212 Ugh that does not sound like a good day. Glad they got it settled though! 

@nitnat007 Can you be the teacher that only does half of what she's instructing? Do a lot of walking around and correcting things? Or is that just in yoga/pilates/barre?

nitnat007

@SkilledSailor Unfortunately just in yoga etc. We have to be on stage participating at all times. I will be lightening up the weights a LOT. And be treating myself to something afterwards. Maybe a PSL.

pebbledam

@holly321 - So sorry for your loss. I hope the visit goes well. Would you mind putting a TW in your post? I'm dealing with the anniversary of a significant death in my life currently and it caught me off guard. 

lurvleybunchococonuts

@pebbledam *hugs* if you need to talk girl feel free to PM me

@holly321 *hugs* to you too girl! That's rough, again feel free to message me if you need a shoulder

ALL THE LOVE TO ALL YOU WONDERFUL LADIES!

holly321

Thank you ladies for all the kind words.   

I am officially done working for this week, so to home my bitter self goes to enjoy all the wine (or maybe margaritas, I haven't made my mind up). 

mrstmoose

@holly321 - creepy internet hugs. That's hard.

I ordered clothes for DH and I from Old Navy TWO weeks ago. They just shipped them. Really? How is that even possible anymore?

offtoneverland

@mrstmoose I just ordered clothes from Old Navy a few days ago and they shipped the next day! That stinks they took so long with yours. I hate when that happens!

lurvleybunchococonuts

So I'm a dirty lurker and creep some of the bmb's. Apparently March '18 is already making a FB group. *hugs to all the TTGP grads who don't dig FB*  

holly321

Update, meeting the boyfriend of SIL went really well.  He seems like a great guy, was wonderful with he kids, and oddly, really reminded me of my brother.

@lurvleybunchococonuts, I hate Facebook and hated when my old BMB made the move to it.  

lurvleybunchococonuts

@holly321 glad to hear that SILs bf is cool also, I can't imagine, I've been avoiding FB more and more lately, especially since TTGP. TB is a nice hideout from it and part of why I like it so much.  I feel so bad for the ladies who just want to experience a "normal" BMB and are likely to have a mostly abandoned board already. It sounds (IMO) like it's mostly people that don't like the "format". I may be biased but I feel like TTGP grads "get" the format/structure more so than members who go direcrly into a BMB

nitnat007

@lurvleybunchococonuts I have been lurking too and agree, its the ones that did not start out at TTGP that don't appreciate the format at all. There have been many complaints about it. I feel bad for the rest of the BMB's. I personally would be bummed out with the move. 

@holly321 Yay! So glad that it went well!! Makes me so happy to hear.

This made me laugh!

My mom's friend found a kitten in her yard, and were going to take it, but it's a carrier for FIV and can't risk bringing it to our cat. We dropped the kitten off at a rescue and it was a cutie so I'm sure it'll find a new home as a single cat. 

It did also finally convince my husband we should go to the shelter we got our cat from to adopt next weekend.
