Midweek moans

I didn't sleep well last night due to some anxiety/stress over a situation. So I woke up kind of glum, add in the hormones and I was bawling in the shower. I ultimately have control over the situation but there is a lot of guilt in saying no; after last night I finally did just say no.

On the flip side I saw our local donut shop was giving away a free donut this morning for their 1st anniversary. So dd and I had a breakfast date. I also won a Mary Kay raffle at the brewfest a few weekends ago and the lady is coming over to help me spend my $25 gift card and possibly set up a facial for me and 3 friends.

aggiebug sorry you had stress but it sounds like you made the decision you wanted you! Good for you.

Today is my schnoodle's birthday. Gatsby is 7 years old. Where has the time gone?!

It's rainey here so we're just going to stay in today. N has swim class tonight. AW: In other news my H is officially starting his new position as a manager of network something something (not actually sure what official name is) next week on his birthday no less. He is very excited to start this new chapter in his career and I'm very proud that on his 30th birthday he has already accomplished so much! I am also excited to say he got a pretty hefty pay raise along with it that almost makes up for what I'm not making anymore. Hooray!

[dreemkin]

Ps: wish I was still here

aggiebug , it's really hard to say no sometimes. I'm glad you did what's best for you.

dreemkin , congrats to you H for the new position! And to Gatsby. And that place in the pic looks so nice, I wish I was there to.

Job is boring and slow today, so I'm planning my 30th b-day party instead. So much food porn!



Edited bc I screwed up the gif link

aggiebug my "good for you" reminded me of the good dinosaur
N is obsessed with this movie so you start to like certain lines (this is one of my faves for some reason)

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good leave-in conditioner? Preferably one that isn't too expensive but open to options (if it's really going to be like OMG, life changing)?

[dmorgendorffer]

My moan today is that it doesn't look like I'll get a WFH day this week. I guess the upside is I won't need to deal with the internal struggle over whether I should sleep in or get up and go for a run on my wfh day.

dreemkin congrats to your H!

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug hugs. I hope you can let the guilt go soon. The Mary Kay stuff sounds fun!

dreemkin happy birthday to Gatsby! My schnoodle turns 6 in October; I can't believe it either! Big congrats to your H!!
@alyllyra yay for party planning! Which my phone wants to autocorrect to Peru planning so I guess it thinks you should be partying in another continent.
dreemkin I don't use after shower products regularly anymore, but I've had good luck with the John Frieda frizz ease leave in conditioner in the past.

Sitting on the deck in the shade, splitting a Pedialyte Popsicle with G. Still stuck at home due to HFM.

[mmarie]

That's awesome dreemkin congrats to your H! And happy birthday gatsby!

[mmarie]

lilyelayne hope he feels better soon

[aggiebug]

dreemkin congrats to the H!

I haven't been around here much. Trying to lurk when I can but last week I worked 8 out of 7 days.. 12 hour shifts.. DD was staying at mils house a couple days last week. When I went to pick her up on Friday morning, she told me that she had to bring DD into the er for what they think was a febrile seizure the night before. She seems go be doing better now though. Her fever broke Saturday night and she's finally back to her normal goofy self.

[dmorgendorffer]

dreemkin technically not a leave in conditioner but I use Moroccanoil to keep my hair from getting dry / frizzy. It's kind of pricey but a little bit goes a long way. And I love the way it smells.

ETA: As you can tell by the reviews on the linked page, I would classify it as OMG life changing. 

[dreemkin]

mmarie sounds scarey. Glad she's doing better!

[aggiebug]

MK lady was here. Of course it was mostly a sales pitch no biggie. I got a few things, including the puple eyeliner of theirs that I love but they discontinued and she stocked up on. YAY!!!!!! Now I have more time to put off finding an adequate replacement.

At the end as apart of her spiel she asked what would make me want to be a Mary Kay lady. ummmm honestly? nothing. Sorry!

[Deleted]

mmarie Scary! Glad she's back to normal.
lilyelayne Maybe I should have a Peru themed party? And build Machu Pichu in legos in my living room! H would be thrilled

[aggiebug]

mmarie, oh gosh! That is terrifying. I can't imagine how frightened they must have been witnessing that, and how overwhelming it is for you not being there and now to sort through what this means. Lots of hugs I am glad she is better. I don't care how many seizures you have watched they are still scary to witness.

[dreemkin]

aggiebug FWIW I use covergirl perfect point plus eyeliner in espresso but it comes in a color called deep burgundy.

[agm04]

dreemkin I've been using this stuff called perfect 10 miracle leave-in to "style" (read: tame) DD's curls and for myself as conditioner (I can't even comb through my hair after a shower without using something). It's not too expensive and lasts a while. Smells great!

I also like Morrocan oil but it's a bit heavy for my hair texture. Depends on your hair I think!

[tortor4]

mmarie how terrifying. I'm glad she's ok.

aggiebug oooooo purple eyeliner. I've only ever used black so now I'm very intrigued.

Busy day today. I took C and the little girl I watch to get their nails done. They loved it and had so much fun. They sat so still too. Then after nap, our favorite teacher at library asked us to come because she was being photographed for an online magazine article and needed kids for the pictures. It was so neat. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

[aggiebug]

tortor4 I had always used grey or brown ask black seems to harsh on my pretty fair skin and blue eyes. Last time I had an my person over because I needed a refill on something she had me play with some of her samples and decided purple looked good on me. It's subtle but fun and does bring out my eye color.

[tortor4]

aggiebug that sounds really pretty!

mmarie all of this! Glad LO is okay!

aggiebug I love dark purple eyeliner instead of brown or black. I got some when I was in college cause gameday and then it became my go to in all situations. I switched from MAC to urban decay, don't remember the color name off the top of my head. In case your MK stash ever runs out.

Oh you will likely have to remind me! One problem I have is I can't do pencils. I just can't get them to go on smoothly, and many crayons are the same. I have liquid eyeliner of some brand which is easiest for me, but this mk stick is good too. Add in purple as a more unusual color and it's hard to find one I like.

[dreemkin]

Now I might try the burgundy. I have greenish eyes that sometimes look blue or grey and I always liked using light purple eyeshadow to compliment them. But it's kind of a bold look and don't want that for every day. Maybe the eyeliner would be more subtle but still bring out the green.

[tortor4]

Ok I'm gonna need one of you to post a picture!
