  • I stayed home from work yesterday and watched the entire Anne of Green gables series.  I figure if I'm sick enough for meds I'm sick enough to sit around and do nothing all day.

    Jealous.  Mine is that I broke out in hives yesterday and spent a few good minutes trying to decide if it's a sign I might be pregnant and should test a few days early.  And I'm still considering it today...

  • I secretly wish my dog wasn't so big (lab) so that I could dress her in cute winter clothes like the Pomeranian I saw wearing a hoodie this morning on my way to work.

    I had potato pancakes and a few spoonfuls of frosting for dinner last night. Perfect.

    Yum!  I ate chips and salsa.

    My confession - I complain to DH about having to watch Steven Segal movies but I think he is a hunk!

  • I cannot stand the thought of spending the whole day with my MIL. Luckily, my SIL is available or I was going to be sick tomorrrow. Cough, cough!

    On the MIL note - my MIL didnt pay her cell phone bill and she asked us to pay it for her.  I refused because I secretly like her not having a phone and bothering me every minute of every day...

  • A week ago I got a part-time, day shift position in endoscopy that requires no weekends or holidays (just occasional call time). After complaining and hating my life for the past 2 1/2 years because I had to work nights and weekends on an often under-staffed cardiac nursing unit, you'd think I'd be ecstatic and not even wanting to look back. Instead, I'm sad about leaving my friends in my current unit and a little disappointed that I'm leaving my cardiac background behind. Also, now I won't have my go-to excuse (being constantly stressed and sleep deprived) when I'm acting moody.

    I will purposely be too slow, unable to or just plain be doing something the wrong way so DH will take over and do it so I don't have to.  This always occurs when we're working on updating the house.

    I've never voted in a presidential election and I never plan to. I also don't think that my vote matters even when people say that it does.  I would just vote for an independent anyway.

    I think your  vote matters, especially if you would vote independent.  The independent parties need votes to gain any sort of momentum into future elections or they will never have a shot.  I can understand not voting if you just don't align with any candidates, but thinking your vote doesn't matter makes me a sad Panda.

  • I sell Scentsy and love it.  I know a lot of people on TB think home parties are stupid and don't want to be "that girl" but I love giving away hundreds of dollars in free stuff to hostesses, and I sure like the paycheck that I get from it all, plus I am going to Punta Cana in June for free.  So my FFFC is I love the fact that I am a Scentsy girl!  :)

    I have lost motivation to advance in my career. I don't want to work all the time or spend my days studying for certifications. These days I just want to do my job and go home to my family.

    Me too. I was super driven up until last year, and now I just don't give a rat's a$$ anymore. I've made the conscious decision just to settle, which I never do, because of starting a family. That is pretty much the M.O. around this office anyway, so I may as well conform instead of being that person that actually cares about their professional life. I think I just hate my job so much that I finally just don't care. Scary.

    My confession? When DH got laid off last year, a part of me was excited and happy because we could have possibly, finally, moved back to the big city - I miss city life so much.

    I have been really great with my diet and exercise this week. A co-worker has been giving me a hard time and telling me I don't need to lose weight, because "compared to her, I am a supermodel." Well, she just grabbed a donut as I am eating fruit and veggies. She got the side eye from me.

    I plan on doing this when it comes time to re-stain our decks in a few weeks. I hate it and I will pruposely drag my feet so that DH will do most of it Stick out tongue

    My confession: I hate the Superbowl and I hate that we have to go to DHs cousin's party to watch it. My reasoning you ask? She has a cat that she lets walk on the counter top over the food and it makes me want to vom.Ick! I will NEVER eat there. Ever. So I am annoyed I even have to go over there.

    This made me shudder in horror. 

    Me too.  My SIL's house is like this.  The kitchen (well, whole house) is super dirty and I am always afraid when we visit and have to eat there.  We had Thanksgiving there this year and I was not in the mood to eat anything that came out of that kitchen.

    My old housemate let her cat do that. Disgusting. I had to sanitize the counter every night to make dinner.

  • MrsMDem.....GROSS!!!

    There really are a few I can relate to of PPs. I will also do something slow so DH does it for me. As for career advancement....HA! I want to work, get paid, and come home. Lastly, the only reason I haven't went for a job that I know I would enjoy more is because I literally work with my best friends.

    My confession: I love horses and my in laws buy me corny horse stuff all the time and it doesn't fit my decor. I set it out for awhile and then box it up.

    I like to attend home parties and I usually buy something.  (Alright, I always buy something.)  But I could never make that my job.  It would be too stressful for me to live off of commission, even it if was a second source of income.

    Definitely can't do it as a second source of income...yet.  There is a lady who is two levels above me who makes 6 figures a year with it though, but I have probably two years before I will get to that point.  Right now it is just a hobby/second job really.  One month can be AWESOME, the next month not so great.  So I totally agree on not being able to depend on it as an only job!

  • I changed my link to TB on my Safari Top Sites from TTGP to TTTC.  I love TTGP, but since our MFI diagnosis, it's so much harder seeing those BFPs knowing there is NO. WAY. we will get one anytime soon :(

    I had a bad cheesy potato experience there a few years back and I get a gag feeling in my throat just thinking about eating there again. We were there for a party and I love me some cheesy potatos, I got almost done with my plate and looked down and there was a black cat hair in them. VOM!  I watch that damn cat walk all over the counter and it makes me ill. Never again have I eaten there. Who knows what else is in the food?! Kitty litter from it's feet?!  I don't want Hepatitis. blech

    My coworkers are so insane. First, there are two girls who complain every.single.day about people pooping in the restroom. We're here for 8-10 hours a day, what in the world to they expect?

    It gets worse. They ordered a CASE of air fresheners, and put them on every single flat surface in our office. It's so bad that other departments are coming to complain about the overwhelming air freshener scent.

    We're all human. Everybody poops. I don't get what the big deal is. A restroom isn't supposed to smell like roses and magic. It's where you expel waste, after all.

    what does magic smells like? :) This made me giggle,

    and I agree with you that people are ridiculous about bathrooms. My office is the same way. I have actually hidden the nasty air fresheners before. There were so many my eyes were watering!

    I'm afraid to poop in the work bathroom.  I'm always afraid someone will recognize my shoes or something.

    If I really have to go number twosies, I'll go poop in the one in the basement.

    I completely skimmed over "the one in" and just thought for a minute you said you go poop in the basement. And I'm trying to hold my tears of laughter in so my coworker won't ask me why I'm laughing/crying.

    Why do cats get a pass? I wouldn't let my effing dog walk on the counter so why is it ok for the cat to do so?! Think of where those paws have been! haha

    Also, I'm about to turn the gross factor up a notch. My DH went to an allergy lecture this week for work and said that cat dander is the worst of all pets because it kind of vaporizes. So cat dander is literally everywhere, whereas, dog dander is heavy and doesn't float. Eww.
