TGIF Randoms!!!!

[requiressnacks]

It's Friday! I'm so happy!

[requiressnacks]

It's my BIL's birthday today. I don't really like him all that much, but we are going for hibachi so I'm kind of excited.

I want alcohol so bad. This week has been so stressful. This cartoon is pretty accurate.

[requiressnacks]

mrsp121308, I totally feel you! Now that I'm feeling better I definitely want all the wine.

[littlelion]

Morning all! It's always a good day on Friday! Trying to be productive to help the day go by faster. 

No plans tonight other than NOT cooking dinner which is good enough for me.  Weekend is pretty busy.  My younger sister flies in tomorrow for a week long stay. There's a family party tomorrow night and plans for the beach on Sunday.  Already the weekend seems to be flying by.

We might have to do an intervention on my popcorn loving coworker.  He brought in a big bag of mixed popcorn today and opened it before 9 am.

I slept so awesome last night, I woke up this morning horizontally in my bed and I have no clue how that happened. I also had a dream that I had to fight Voldemort, but he was wearing a disguise of a trucker hat, way too baggy jorts and a bright orange shirt. Pregnancy dreams are fun.

Not much on the agenda today. Heading up to DC for the weekend with DS. Should be fun!

[kaydee0402]

littlelion, enjoy the time with your sister!

[kaydee0402]

requiressnacks, mmm hibachi. I like to wait until the end to eat so I can mix it all together and drown it in shrimp sauce and the ginger sauce.

[kaydee0402]

mrsp121308, I miss wine. So much.

Have fun! My sister who is visiting lives in DC! I have to admit I haven't visited her so don't know DC much.

requiressnacks - I hope you get to enjoy the hibachi..I kind of feel like its a consolation prize to you having to hang around your BIL. Surely he can't mess that up for you. lol .

@kaydee0402 - boo I wished I still lived near DC we could of met up...WELL if you wanted to, I could of brought DD.

littlelion - Totally jealous of beach fun with the family. I am now in Michigan so far away from my family. Which we used to go to the beach a lot in the summer...Sigh. Oh what you do for the man you love and your family.

mrsp121308 - Went to a Tigers game yesterday with my work group and I just died cause I couldn't have a beer. We went to a restaurant before going to the ballpark and they didn't have non-alcoholic just so I could imagine it was real...I almost had a riot. But I did get a pretzel with cheese at the ball park, with peanuts and a hot dog. NO JUDGY. lol

Its Friday both bosses are out, I think I will be making a run for the border come 2pm. Oh and I did a good deed my MIL stayed with my Hubs and DD for almost a month while I was gone. I got her tickets to go see Barbara Streisand, she is physco fan, she almost cried on the phone. She said it was her number one on her bucket list. She said she has wanted to go for 50 years. SOOO I kind of got emotional and teary cause she was so excited.

OH and well date night sunday movie and dinner. Nothing too exciting.

[kaydee0402]

littlelion, I'm going to be hanging out with my parents, so i'm not sure what's on the agenda but it should be a good time!

WineNChocolate, BOO to not living there anymore! And what a great thing you did for your MIL, I'm sure you just shot to the top of her favorites list

[requiressnacks]

WineNChocolate, you are a good DIL! And yay for both bosses being out. Woohoooooo!

I try to wait until the end, but I usually start eating my rice pretty early. No self control!

The power went out at work. Everything, the emergency generators didn't come on like they are supposed to.
After about an hour they made a PA announcement to go home. Then, 2 minutes later, all the power came back. Argh
Missed a free day off work.

[hmr11913]

Is hibachi like a Mongolian grill? We have a place here called "Hu Hot" that is amazzzzzzing. Probably my favorite restaurant --- and now I want it. We ordered chinese today... I haven't had this in months!

I had my f/u for the SCH today.... great news - DR didn't see it anymore! Also the baby was being super cute and moving around a lot. I got 2 new pictures. Hi there baby!!! You're so cute!

You should have ran while you had the chance! LOL

[littlelion]

sdgal oh, so close!
hmr11913 good news about the sch! & what a cutie!

[littlelion]

I was walking to my desk and saw my boss looking my way...at my stomach. He's like "uh, someone's starting to show"...lol, thx for noticing.

[kaydee0402]

littlelion, too funny!

My VP that I work under is one of those types who doesn't like kids and he his wife are obviously very uncomfortable around them (which is fine, I get that kids aren't for everyone), but he's also really uncomfortable discussing pregnancy. When pregnant with my first, he always referred to it as my "situation." He never wanted to say the word pregnancy, which my boss and I found hilarious. It was even more fun when my boss got breast cancer because he would go out of his way to avoid saying the word "breast." It provided many hours of fun for my boss and I

"Situation", lol, like you're an unwed mother and it's 1950

[kaydee0402]

littlelion, lol, I believe my exact words to my boss were "I'm 27 and married, it's not like I'm on 16 and Pregnant."

[requiressnacks]

sdgal, I can't believe you all sat there for an hour with no power! I would have been outta there!

[littlelion]

There's this man at work that makes me feel very uncomfortable.  I started working here last summer and since then he constantly tries to catch my eye to say hi. This week he's attempted to approach me, but I try to walk away and ignore him.  I told DH earlier this week when he touched my arm and said hi as I walked on by. He thought I was trying to make him jealous.  I have to add that this man is a little old man.  On the short side and slight and looks old like over 70.  He works for the building maintenance.  Just now as I was walking back to my office I took a short hallway that's hidden (freight elevator) and he followed me in (I saw him in the reflection of the glass doors in front of me).  He said something but I hurried on inside.  I hate to be paranoid.  I know I'm not a people person but this behavior is freaking me out. I feel dumb making a big deal about it because of his age.

Well, we're scientists and all really worried because if the power didn't come back on, we could have lost maybe millions of dollars worth of reagents in fridges and freezers and under liquid nitrogen.
