Today my boss told me not to act so b*tchy.

People texting me constantly because they did not show up for an appointment and me asking them to stop because I have a lot of work to do today and haven't been to bed yet doesn't constitute b*tchy last time I checked. Or maybe it does and I don't know it, but at this point I just want to get everything done and go to bed

 

[princesss]

I like cute guys. Especially when they're tall.

I braised leeks in white wine and vinegar for dinner. I've never had leeks before...they were goooooood. And a tomatoe, cuke, and onion salad with italian dressing. I could be a veggie if I always made good food like this!

And for the grande finale to my shithole day, Trapper got pissed at London and threw JD's flashlight at our tv and it is broken. 52" lcd. Nice. Not even done paying for the f-ing thing.

Eta: Dang, I forgot to quote you! Sorry!

Packrat, I am so sorry! What a terrible time you've been having...hugs to you, and I hope things are better for you tomorrow.

Thanks Junebug! I kinda want to crawl in a hole and not come out! Plus I freaked out at one of the nurses at work today b/c I was pissed at our office manager. Shooting the messenger and all. I apologized and I felt terrible. Then I sent the office manager an email just shy of bitchy. And then I called JD to give him the head's up in case I lose my job.

It's been a little over a week since my BF and I broke up. I feel like I should be hanging around moping, but I just don't feel like it. I'm listening to music that I didn't listen to for years because he hated it, dancing around my house with my iPod in, making tons of plans with friends, and generally being happy. It's hard thinking of life without him, and I'm definitely sad at times, but the overwhelming feeling I've got right now is relief. I can start MY life and do the things I've held myself back from doing - getting my own apartment (again) without thinking about sharing it with ANYBODY, going out with friends, going dancing, listening to crazy music really loudly, letting the cats sleep under the covers with me, really working at trying to move overseas. I'm sure as time goes on and as I hit dates that would be important, I'll be sad, and I'll miss a lot about being with him (he was seriously the best friend anybody could hope for, so considerate, so nice, funny, etc.) but right now it's kind of nice to be on my own.

But really - everybody says to just feel what I'm feeling, and that this is a sign I made the right decision, but I feel guilty. Like I should be mourning this more than I am right now. It was a good relationship. I loved him very much. But - what is it Samantha said when she broke up with Smith? I love him, but I love me more. And it's nice to kind of "meet" myself again.

One of my friends felt the same way since she broke up with her ex after dating for about 2 years. She's never looked back and she's doing great. At first, I was waiting for it to "hit her"..but she was just fine. I think the only thing that hit was finding herself again. I hope that your hard times and moments are few and far in between, but if you're feeling blue, please let me know!

Yea Tacori!

Keep on keeping on, Princesss!

I was called an "a$$hole" to my face for the first time in my life tonight. I'm surprised it took this long.

I felt the exact same thing when I broke up with mine last October, Princesss. Still feel the same way {HUGS}

I'm so frustrated with my son (I have to vent). I sent him to school on the first day with all his supplies in his backpack and
another walmart bag. I talked to his teacher this morning. She said that when they set up their binders he couldnt find his
(and said he didnt have one). Did he think to look in his backpack??? Then a few days later (after he finds his binder) he
says he cant find his dividers (I sent him in with 2 packages in his backpack). Yep, they're gone. Probably in some other
kids binder by now because they tell you not to label anything! She said she told the class to put their crayons and colored pencils
in their desk. Well the pencils made it but the crayons were out of the box all over the bottom of his backpack. And, his comp
book which he was suppose to put his name on and give to his teacher remained nameless in his desk. What is he
doing? Sleeping in class???

I dont know why I run all over town trying to get the gazillion things on their school list if my son is not going to be able to
find them (when they are in his backpack) or is going to lose them!!! I think I'm going to have a serious discussion with
him when he gets home today. Sure hope I calm down by then!

BTW - my son is a 4th grader and plenty old enough to be taking care of his school supplies!

PS is driving me batty today; no lie, it takes me a whole 30 seconds to load a page. I have 3 other tabs open incl LOGR's page and this is the only one running slow....

I feel like there are so few threads started lately. Boo.

 

[Indylady]

Elle, me too!

Can we start something interesting? Like, how do families like the Duggars or the Maxwells (their site is called Titus 2) support themseleves/buy homes debt free without a day job and without sending their kids or work a day job or go to college?

Hahaha. Right?

We need some interesting topics up in here.

 

[dragonfly411]

All of these eats recommend threads made me think we should do a favorite eats around the world thread. I'm thinking of saving and doing some traveling, and am actually thinking of doing an eating tour of my home state . Might be fun?

 

[random_thought]

Today so far:

The cat got superglue stuck on his paw (it's safe for pets, it's for softpaws, and I tried to use it to fix my glasses, big mistake)
I got superglue stuck on my hands
I had to wear duct taped glasses to work because my eyes hurt so bad
Some scam company wrote a fraudulent check and forged my signature and my bank would not refund it! They told me to get a new account!!!
And today we ran out of toilet paper at home and don't get paid until tomorrow

 

[dragonfly411]

RT - that's when you ask the neighbor to borrow some TP!

In all seriousness, I hope your day gets better.

 

[dragonfly411]

would others be interested in the favorite eats idea??

Oh thank God I'm not the only one! Thank you for making me feel a little more normal. It's like everybody is trained to say the same things about a break up, and I constantly have to say to people, "No, I'm actually more okay than you think. Really."

I think the Duggars have a lot of properties that they rent out to cell phone tower companies. That will make you mega bucks. Ex-BF worked for a company constructing cell phone towers one summer, and he said the amount of money they pay each month to rent that land is insane. If they had multiple properties like that, even with that huge family they wouldn't need day jobs. Plus, they seem to be about as frugal as you can be with a family that large.

 

[random_thought]

Good news! My boss surprised us by giving us our paychecks a day early! Afterwork I'm heading to get some TP...2ply...with aloe vera...and it sings soothing music to you while you are doing your business and makes the room smell like roses...yup just the ole ordinary stuff

When you are a passenger on a plane, it is NOT COOL to put your feet on the arm rest of the person in front of you. I don't care how long your legs are.

 

[Imdanny]

It's kind of weird. I knew someone whose screen name (one of them) was Jane and "Jane" once had a girlfriend named Jolene. Wow, at least your post counted as "random."

I think it's been slower since the changeover but I'm hoping that will change soon!

 

[dragonfly411]

I think that hangout has picked up in the past few days, but I do hope it picks up. I miss all the fun threads!

This is of no interest to anyone but me (and probably TMI) but:
Eric Burdon's voice does some very wonderful, magical things to me .
Every time I listen to him, I'm no good for anything else the rest of the day.

 

[iheartscience]

I just finished a 2 week fitness class that was M-F at 5:45 am. Aaaaand I'm feeling (and looking) pretty buff. I lost 4-5 pounds this week alone! (I think the first week my body was like WTF are you doing to me?!)

So now I'm eligible for membership to this fitness program and I can't wait to keep getting buffer!

Aha! Mystery solved.

Wild. And no fair. Sometimes I wonder if the $150,000 it'll probably cost to go to law school would be better off just pocketed and living frugally. Blergh.
