conversation of the day

just remember…when you marry someone, you marry their family.

fine but I’m divorcing his stepdad

things I would like to scream at my boyfriend

First off, let me just say I love my boyfriend.  We’ve been dating almost 3 years and I do love him.  I do.  Its just that well, I’m on my period which is like a semi-monthly thing for me, so when I get it, look out world.  Hormonal crazy right here.  So due to some conversations in the last 15 hrs or so, I need to get this off my chest.

Right now, I don’t care about how you feel right now.  I feel like crap.  Your stomach ache does NOT count as sympathy pains, nor can you compare your heartburn to the gut wrenching feeling that I have that makes it nearly impossible not to run to the bathroom every time I stand up.  So don’t even try to compare the two unless you would like some verbal castration.  Got it?

Next, don’t complain about anything.  In case you didn’t notice before, right now I’m very self centered so I don’t care about your cough, your allergies, your runny nose or anything else.  Man up and deal with it.  When you feel like someone has taken a baseball bat to your back, ripped your ovaries out and slammed you with constipation and diarrhea all at once, then we’ll talk.  Until then, just shut up.

DO NOT try to change my cravings on me.  I am a dead serious psycho right now.  NO JOKE.  So when I tell you I want Wendys or Arbys for dinner, do not try to convince me I want 5 Guys.  I don’t.  In fact if you make me even think of one of their nasty greasy burgers, I may consider (once I’m able to get back up again) throwing up on your shoes.  Besides do you know how many calories are in one of those??  I mean the fries are good but thats about it.

No matter what you do for the next 5 days, you’re wrong.  If you want to hug me, I don’t want to be touched.  If you ignore me, I’ll want you to call more often.  If you call to check up on me, I’m going to call you clingy and tell you to be a man and stop smothering me.  I’ll feel bad later but right now, I’m not there yet.  If you give into my current junk food obsession, I will so yell at you later.  However if you don’t encourage me to get that Junior Bacon Cheeseburger that I will kill for right now, well I mean I hope you liked your short sweet life.

Oh and I love you babe.  But seriously.  I’ll hurt you given any reason.

I’m not the jealous type

but something is eating at me.  This couple I know just got engaged…they’ve hardly been together a year.  I want to be happy for them but the dear bf and I agreed they seem to be settling with each other…but whatever.  The thing I can’t get passed is how jealous I am.  Not of them but of the fact that my bf and I have been together almost 3 years and financially I know he’s not going to propose anywhere in the next few months.  I wish I wasn’t jealous.  Its petty and selfish and not cute at all.  But I totally am 

hi there

long term lurker is back for the moment (the moment being now and then probably not updating again for a while…lets be real).  So here I am with my glass of amaaaazing Moscato (mmmm yummy) and preparing for my four day weekend.  I broke everything down in a neat little to do list…should probably pull that out…ah here we go

So yes, while the rest of the family goes to Richmond from Saturday-Monday morning, I will be here dog sitting and cleaning like nobody’s business.  Tim and I started budgets which makes me a little sad, but much needed.  I actually should be able to bank about $800 this month (that whole not paying rent bit helps although school certainly makes up for it).  I bought our tickets for Texas…almost $700.  Yeah that sucked.  So my checking account is trying to commit suicide.  Its ok, I have plenty in the secret savings account (aka the one that only gets touched if there’s an emergency or if I get married, move, etc.) but my checking account did take quite a beating.  So saving should be good.  Especially since there’s a 9 day trip to Texas in October, my 6-month car insurance payment in November and then Christmas stuff.  Ugh I don’t even want to think about Christmas…might start crying in my moscato and THAT would really make me cry.  I miss having my little blogging sessions, not gonna lie.  Life is really good but I feel like I’m always just looking forward to the next thing.  Not sure if that’s a good way to live or not or if I just need to live in the moment.  I wish I had a few more close friends locally.  I mean I do have some but their all married or have babies and I miss having girl time.  Although I can’t complain too much because I’ve been asked twice lately to do girl time and haven’t been free.

I’m 3.8 pounds away from my goal weight.  Its taken…a year and a half but I am so damn proud of how far I’ve come.  Last January I weighed almost 175.  Right now I’m at 143.8.  Yeah, I have a right to be proud of that.

This update was brought to you by Laurel’s Pandora “main station” and the lovely Moscato Provinca di Pavia by Castello del Poggio (an Italian Asti…so nommy) 

SATURDAY UPDATE:  Looks like I’m a bit behind…guess I’ll really have to get cracking today!

I knew it was coming

but nothing can prepare you for your mother’s hair falling out.  Get ready for the meltdown.

the good thing about working close to home

…is that I can run home on my lunch breaks.  The bad thing is that I’d really rather just take 15 mins and pound out my day to go home earlier.  Back to work for about 3.5 hrs!

new job starting today!

Wow so I know I’ve been somewhat absent for a while sooooo here’s the down and dirty of it:

-2 Fridays ago got fired effective May 21

-following Monday told a coworker what happened, got the hookup from another coworker, interviewed Tuesday, knew I was getting an offer Wednesday,got the amount Thursday, got the paper work Friday/Saturday, did the pee test last Monday, called it quits Wednesday around 12:30, generally have done nothing since then (Oh I did a bit of hw and chores and went to Wine in the Woods)

So today I start my new job which requires me to be somewhere I’m not working at 8 AM (4 mins from my house…no joke) for orientation.  Wonder if I’ll actually do any work today or if it will just be paperwork?

UPDATE:  It was mostly paperwork, however I feel like I’m going to be hopelessly swamped at this job but learn a ton!

guess who gets to do a drug screening!?

Yeah that’s right…me kiddos.  Oh did I mention that I wasted my good morning pee because my bowels were feeling like they’re going to explode?  So I got up half an hr earlier than needed to chug crystal light.  Not worried about the test.  Just about needing to produce…a sample.
