For real. It's 2016, science! Get with the program on what's important.

If they can make bluetooth pregnancy tests you'd think they could do this no problem.

I am seriously regretting eating the entire container of Panera broccoli cheese soup. I'm now miserably stuffed. It honestly wasn't that good and it was terrible for me.

[lgraceh]

So, I have this dress that I wore as a bridesmaid. (it's way longer than that on me).
Question- can I wear it on a cruise formal night next month? If not, are there alterations I could do to improve it? I'm willing to dye it dark, make it into a maxi skirt only, hem it to tea length, or any combo of those. Also open to suggestions. Or just tell me no, go get a new dress. That works too.

I'm mobile, I apologize if the pic is gigantic!

Edit: there, not their.

My academic advisor is in the wrong field. She has no idea what's going on with anybody's classes and I have been emailing and calling for a week with no real response.

Wtf is a hover cat?? Did you mean car?

[thelittleredm]

Fuck today. Just got back from lunch with the idea of going to the bathroom after clocking back in. Just FUCKING KIDDING. We have NO water at work which means no bathroom. I'm here for 5.5 more hours with NO bathroom -.-

Quiet time in the Penguin House means I get a shower in peace and quiet while DD naps. Yay! I'm just irritated my sinus started to bother me and give me a headache right before I reached this point in my day.

For sure! No alterations necessary IMO. Especially if it's longer. The hem is WAY too short for that model.

pippacricket Have you read anymore of the Strike Series from Gailbraith? I just started Career of Evil last night. It's pretty good based on the 16 pages I read so far.

[penguin129]

lgraceh I say go for it! That is a beautiful dress. Wear it as many times as possible. Hmmm.... that has me thinking, could I wear my bridesmaids dress from my cousins wedding 4 years ago to my other cousins wedding in Feb of this year? The groom of this wedding and bride from the other wedding are brother and sister. Although the whole family has seen me in the dress before. Maybe a new dress after all.

Right? I was freaking out that it would be too short. I'm 5'7", so I'm definitely used to that happening. I ended up going up 2 sizes to eek out some extra length, but probably didn't have to do that, it's LONG. I ended up taking it on the sides.

FYI- if any needs a reasonable formal dress, this is from Target's Tevolio line. I was really impressed and it was only $80.

I'm totes getting pregnant this year! Anyone else? Where do they come up with these lists?

So, it's 6 hours later but I need to say this.  My first and second name are on there, and they're next to each other.  That has to be a sign, right???!1!1!!!

[lilsneezy]

MH's client just said to me "don't forget to pay my meter" like we had previously agreed to this arrangement or something. And apparently he wants me to pay this meter with MY money. Fuck you, buddy! I'm the boss, not your parking attendant.

[lilsneezy]

I lost one of my diamond earrings that DH gave me. I'm so sad. It was the only nice pair of earrings I had.

Giving 4 out of my 5 classes busy work today because I feel like death warmed over. Ugh.

I don't have a day off until NEXT Sunday either. Shoot me.

(Not really, but if you have a magic cold medicine that cures me I'll gladly take it. Or if you want to go to work for me so I can stay home I'd be cool with that too.)

At least I get to see ALL the puppies at Petsmart. Literally the best part of my job.

OH AND LAST NIGHT the eyelash crested gecko that we've had FOREVER because nobody wanted him FINALLY got adopted last night. He dropped his tail really early so he had frog butt. He went to a great home to be spoiled though lucky little dude. Everyone was so excited for him last night, it was great. I really like this job a lot more than I thought I would, which makes the crazy hours bearable.

Way late...but 1 teaspoon honey and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon mixed together. Take twice a day...it helps shorten colds. Also neti pot.

Herro ladies! Many thanks for the bday wishes! What a surprise! (Sorry, I'm always mobile and couldn't keep track to tag everyone

I've (well, our whole household really) been sick since Christmas. It seemed to get better and then got worse again over last weekend. I was just plugging along trying to make the best of things, but woke up at 1AM last night feeling like I got hit square in the temple with the baseball bat. I slept maybe a total of 2 hours. So, off to the doc I went this morning. Antibiotics and a steroid nasal spray for the sinus infection they say I have. I'm determined not to let this get me down. H made dinner reservations for 6:45, we haven't had a date night sans DS in forever, and I have a new outfit to wear!!

Happy birthday!!!

[butlerfan]

So H and I are supposed to go to the gym tonight and have the weekend off. We are now going out with friends to see a movie instead. I am off work and would have time now to go. H doesnt get off for another 2-2.5 hours. He suggested us going to gym tomorrow.

Should I get going and go now and then also tomorrow? Or continue to catch up on here?

Drinking yes. But there will be bar hopping involved, and CAH doesn't play nice with my phone.

I will try to live TCF our adventures with getting our 21 year old sailor brother drunk.
