Random Thoughts & Musings

[mom2boxers]

A thread for random comments and commentary.

They can be about anything - how your day is going, your co-workers' annoying habits, frustrations. Basically, anything you want to share.

So glad it's Friday. This was a short week but it has felt so long.

[wirt2cute]

Because today is Friday and I am at work I'm going to watch Netflix on my phone all day.

Agreed.  And I have a TON of work and have had a productivity level of 0 ALL week. 

Oh.. except finished my work for my Master's course.  Taking a break for a month or so before I start the next one. 

Also random... I'm really craving fruit and there is none in the house. (I'm telecommuting today).  

[wirt2cute]

mom2boxers I totally agree I love short work weeks.

[wirt2cute]

vh2014 congrats on finishing you masters work. I'm not taking any classes this summer. I refuse to use my brain for anything other then life.

[mom2boxers]

vh2014 - How many classes do you have left before you're finished? I remember it felt so good when I could count the ones I had left using my fingers.

[vh2014]

mom2boxers, I think 8... could be 9. I'm kind of taking my time. I have one Master's degree so this is really because it's more related to my field and my company covers the cost. I'm enjoying it. And when it becomes work I take a break. I've promised myself no more stress while TTC since I believe this is how I got into this never ending cycle mess to begin with. The first half of 2014 was full of big life changes and stress.

[wirt2cute]

vh2014, that is awesome that your company pays for your degree.

I'm working from home until MH comes home and we can head to NH for my firm retreat. I've been working since 5am with just a break to pack so I'll get almost a whole days work in before we go. I love working from home so much. My old job let me do it a out but this one not so much. Just one more reason I need to find new job! (Though I appreciate my boss taking the whole office to stay in an awesome hotel, eat and drink awesome stuff, and not requiring us to do trust falls, ha!)

[tiresiastheblond]

wannabmama, I admire your attitude about both working since 5:00 am and spending the weekend with your co-workers!

I'm looking at the long to-do list I wrote out before being out yesterday, trying to decide which items I can bear to start on, and hoping I don't see my boss. At all. All day.
Yeah, Debbie Downer here...

[wannabmama]

tiresiastheblond I'm dreading the weekend, truth be told, but trying to find that silver lining!
MH is dreading it more...I'm hoping the booze helps us both survive it (and that I still have a job on Monday).

[vh2014]

wannabmama, I work from home at least once a week. LOVE it. I get so much more done because there aren't as many interuptions... unless DH is home.... he doesn't seem to get that just because I'm in my PJs on my laptop doesn't mean he can interrupt me and ask random questions.

I am bored... this week has been long. I find shortened work weeks annoying as typically just as many things need to be done with less hours to do them and I lack the motivation to get it all done. Here it is Friday and it feels like ?Wednesday/Thursday when I look at the piles of uninteresting things I need to complete.

I'm hungry and didn't bring my lunch so I am spending way to much mental energy thinking of what I want!

Hooray for booze!  I'm sure everything will go great.  (try to) have fun!

@kellbell, I just ate two bananas for breakfast, and now all I can think about is lunch. Also two bananas does not do a body well. My stomach hurts now. And I will totally be buying a bottle of wine today and drinking it all tonight.

[wannabmama]

It's totally my FW so I'm hoping this retreat leaves me with one particular lasting memory...

[momtex]

We have 3 days left of this school year. I am pounding through end of year paperwork this morning. The best part is that I'm jamming to the Belinda Carlisle pandora station. It is nothing short of spectacular!

[mom2boxers]

Wedding this weekend. Kind of eh about it. They say our invite was RTS because post office couldn't read the address. Didn't really know about it until a couple of weeks ago.

[wirt2cute]

mom2boxers, I love weddings. They make me think of love and all the mushy stuff.

momtex, my mom felt the same way towards the end of their school year. She could not wait until the official last day of school.

wannabmama, have fun at the retreat. FX you bring home an awesome surprise.

[wirt2cute]

Somebody just told me I looked 28, I almost hugged a total stranger.

[mazzola23]

DH went out for the night so I had a salad from Chipotle and will finish the book I'm reading. Wild night over here!

[wirt2cute]

@mazzila23 I am watching all the seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I'm living such a boring life tonight.

[mom2boxers]

Waking up with a headache is no bueno. I must have been gritting my teeth or my sinuses have decided to pay me back for not taking my medicine consistently.

H was reminiscing about his grandmother yesterday and wanted to make one of her favorite meals at dinner. I totally forgot how eating THIS much comfort food can make me so sluggish in the AM - until I woke up this morning. Enjoy, ladies!! (I couldn't just talk about it without sharing a photo! We had some skillet fried chicken, homemade mac & cheese, mustard/turnip/collard greens and buttermilk biscuits).
