HDBD / WTF Wed.

[sstwinklinglites]

I can't believe I'm the first one starting a thread. There's usually lots of chatter by the time I get on here in the mornings.

How's everyone doing?

Just because I know you all care:

1. They did finally clear the streets, sidewalks, and stairs in my community yesterday... they started around 3PM. I get we got all the snow throughout the day, but everything was already covered in the morning, which is when people are trying to get out the house and to work.

2. I finally started watching Making a Murderer.

3. I work a half day today because DS has speech therapy.

4. I tired on the BM dress. I couldn't zip it past my boobs. But I think that's because of the angle the zipper is. I'm going to put on my spanks and have H zip it today. If it doesn't fit, I took a look, and there's really no way to let it out; but I'm confident it'll fit.

But did you put your Fitbit on?

[sstwinklinglites]

becole - No. I need a reminder before bed to charge it.

And wow, that is a huge troll.

Huge troll is #accurate

I want to watch making a murderer but H is dragging feet and we've been so busy in the evenings taking turns working out and getting dinner ready and trash and laundry and uggg

[becole]

vlagroupie check the PG when you check in.

[sstwinklinglites]

vlagroupie - Did you ever jump on the planner train?

[JoBub]

sstwinklinglites I really thought there was no room to let my dress out either. Even the girl at the shop was thinking they might only be able to get a tiny bit more space, but they somehow found several more inches in there. I know of a place that does fast alterations that I can recommend if you need it.

[JoBub]

I want to watch Making a Murderer also, but I have most of the same problems as becole. Add to that, any time hockey or football or college basketball is on tv, H wants to watch that instead. I'll probably start it right about the time the rest of the world is done talking about it.

We can talk about it together. After the Super Bowl.

Right now my mind is refusing to spend a penny more on this wedding / trip. It'll zip because it has no choice.

ok, don't flame me, but yes.  I spent a ridiculous amount of money on a plum planner.  I haven't received it yet, but I'm excited bc I got to customize everything on it.  In the meantime, I've actually been using a cheap moleskine dotted notebook and creating my own daily pages.  It's actually pretty cool bc you can do whatever you want which works pretty good for my work.

Hi, I'm here. Just busy as usual.

H and I are both off on 1/22/16 so we're going to send DD to the sitter and binge watch Making a Murderer.

I've been watching shows while on the treadmill, multi-tasking is the best.

Why would I flame you? Hello, I buy stickers, washi tape, pens, tassles, etc. I spend entirely too much on stationary.

[ladytiffany24]

sstwinklinglites, I keep meaning to ask, how's A?!

[babylove518]

It's my last work day this week!!!
And the kids aren't going to make it easy. Toddlers...

With us entertaining the idea of moving and putting our house on the market... I need more money. Right now I work 3 days 1 week, 2 the next. I'm thinking about asking if I can do 3 days both weeks. This would give me around 160 more a month. Which isn't much, but it's more than I'm making now. Why am I so nervous to ask? Its either I ask for more hours to get more pay or find another job, which I really don't want to do. Wish me luck... I'm bringing it up tonight when the mom gets home.

Ok you're right. Guess I'm just feeling guilty for the amount of money spent on a planner.

Maybe I'll binge watch by myself. I'm off and getting my hair done Friday. I wanted to go to Nordstrom for the bra fitting too.

I do this too but right now my Dvr is American horror, new girl, days of our lives, bachelor, married at first sight, reign, Downton Abbey and Born this way. I'm struggling folks.

Maybe it's time to cut back on the TV watching... says the one that watches too much TV.

[sstwinklinglites]

becole - DH fell asleep 15 min. into it last night. So I'll be watching solo.

[vlagroupie]

sstwinklinglites you should give the bullet journal a try--with all the pens, washi etc you've got, it could look pretty sweet.

I don't have the patience to create my own spreads. I need something done that I can jot my stuff on. I also have a planner for work, and a separate notebook where I jot the details for my assignments.

becole & lindsay
I watched Bachelor last night. Here are my thoughts:

I think Ben seems kind of boring. Super sweet though!

I think i really like Jojo and Caila. Even more so after this episode.

The hair clips moment made me melt.

Lace is cray. My prediction is he finally gets rid of her next week (or the producers finally let him get rid of her).

I do think they got a group of nice girls this season which is why Olivia sticks out as the "mean girl." I do view her in that light for the most part and agree with it. However, sometimes I try to put myself in their shoes. And she's kind of right, even though she has a rose doesn't necessarily mean she shouldn't be able to get time with her man. I think she just did it too early on. Shoulda waited until later in the night.

I think it was a little shitty of Ben to give Olivia the rose AGAIN, especially after his moment with Amanda.

Re: Making a Murderer...... DO IT!!!! It's so good. I'm 5 episodes in. Addicted.

Hi,
I've been busy this morning, and have zero motivation. Why, can't I just win a billion dollars and quit my job? I'll buy us a compound in HI.

I am going to buy a powerball ticket today. I've been putting it off because I have to get cash from the bank first. I am also always unreasonably disappointed when I don't win.
