I actually have no idea who it is.

When we first started dating I took MH to get a pedicure, now he loves them and wants to go more than me. It is so expensive though, easily $50 here. I justify that that with the free booze though.

Yep! I may have had 3 glasses of wine last night because of that. My neighbor drove me so I was like "another glass!" 

Wait, what? Free wine with your pedi? My place does not do that! I say $27 was a-ok for that deal.

I've been napping this whole time. Snow days rock. I'm just thankful I'm an aide and don't have to spend my snow days grading and planning since the lesson plans are screwed up due to the snow day. Small victories.

Wait, teachers actually grade and plan on snow days?

I've always just pushed my lessons back a day then change the lessons for the next unit when that time comes.

Lol I don't know what this means but I like it.

I was afraid of that! It's a superstition. All the kids at school when I went and since I've been nannying/teaching insist that this helps the snow come.

I'll try anything at this point!

Wow. How does YH feel about that? That seems super presumptuous of them ... 

He loves getting to see her, but he gets nothing accomplished when she is there. He is the only one who is in the office so if he isn't working, nothing gets paid, nothing gets ordered, no bills, no payroll...

They think they can leave a 1 year old with a coloring book all day. WTAF. They just drop her and it's not like he can do anything about it because there is no one else there and he's too nice. They usually just laugh about it. But there are many parenting things they do that I do not agree with.

Last time when she was sick I even pulled strings to line up everything so I could take her to our house because I felt so bad.

Wow...so wrong on so many levels.

maybe I've having painful memories to student teaching. We had to do so much if we had a snow day.

The college was the one that pushed this more than the school now that I think of it. I like your version better.

I learned during my student teaching to not take work home AT ALL COSTS. I have nightmares of all the lab notebooks I had to grade at home.

I legit will not do anything at home unless I have absolutely nothing for my first class of the day. I would much rather stay after school working than take anything home.

Here are others: I've only heard of the ones with an asterisk though

Throw ice cubes out the window.

*If you put a penny under your pillow that might help.

Some say to sleep not with a penny but with a spoon under your pillow.

*Wear your pajamas backwards and inside out.

If you yell 'snow day' in your freezer that could be one way to get that snow day according to the web.

*Do a snow dance!

*Not only throwing ice cubes out the window, but some superstitions say to flush the cubes down the toilet.

Put a spoon in the freezer.

*Guess if you eat ice cream for supper that helps your chances.

Well gee. I wish someone had told me all this like 20 years ago.

Where I grew up they never cancelled school even if every other school in the area canceled.  There were times we were then closed early but only after it would count for a full day but even that was few and far in between.

I just got irrationally excited because I just remembered my planner supplies are getting delivered today! I need to print out the pages so I can put it together tonight. YAY.

I accidentally left mine at home today. I feel lost and I've only had it a week.

Also I have the parenting planner thread in an open tab and check it often.

[daisy818]

TheEleventhHour Jealous of your planner supplies! My new planner was supposed to ship Monday but it still hasn't yet

[daisy818]

In a show of dedication to my weight loss plan, I'm going outside in the snow and cold to walk over to the mall so I can be a mall-walker for 45 minutes.

[penguin129]

So what do you all do with these planners? I have appointments, b-days, and other important dates on my calendar. That's not the same thing?

[kayladawn91]

I didnt read anything but hi! Work is crazy today.

I'm new to the planner world - there was a thread on 3T/IF that inspired me. You should lurk it!

[ohinvrtedworld]

Haiiii friends! It only sprinkled snow up here, sorry for all the gross weather & driving conditions that others of you have to deal with!

I made a bad life choice and bought chips, velveeta, sausage, and rotel tomatoes to make queso at Aldi. I feel so tired today that that might be dinner lol. You're welcome, H!

I want to say it's Sam Clafin/Finnick Odair from Hunger Games.

I thought maybe it was Nicholas Hoult but I think you are right!

ohinvrtedworld Ohhhhhh myyyyyyyy goooooooooodddd. That sounds amazing. Now I really want chips and queso.

This is my snack downfall. Always. When we go out to eat, I often end up with the nachos.

It is like a calendar on drugs lol. Lurk the Parenting thread about it. It is crazy how many different types/options there are.

The only place I remember getting a pedicure anywhere close to $10 was in mainland China. I miss those incredibly affordable massages too!

I typically pay $40-$50 for a pedicure with tip. I always upgrade my pedicure to include long massages.

What?!?! Woman. You can't paint your own toe nails?!

Not well. I'll show you sometime. H painted my toe nails once. When we were first dating and he was trying to impress me.

I'm using mine for Drs appointments, meetings, events, and then meal planning. I like having it all in a place I can carry with me so I don't have to write "dr appointment at IVF clinic" on my work wall calendar. Also H and my work schedules are tight so it helps me know what days we can absolutely not take off.

Some people use it for habit tracking, exercise routines, cleaning schedules...

[onesweetworld]

I really need to clean and organize my office.

Grey's Anatomy reruns though.

Self-quote - I'm dying. 45 minutes of walking laps around the mall wearing fleece tights, a winter coat, and a scarf = heatstroke. 

[ladytiffany24]

Speaking of mall walking, maybe that is the answer to me getting more steps in every day. I work really close to a mall. And I always leave the office on my lunch break to get the hell out of the office. So why not go the mall and walk for an hour (and shop too). Target is my usual go-to for office getaways but I'm not sure I could pull it off at a Target. I'd have to walk up and down all the aisles. I'm pretty sure someone would call security on me.

This is exactly what I do. I actually park in the mall garage and work a block away, so every day I go over during my lunch break and try to get in 3500-4000 steps. It's funny - I've started recognizing other lunchtime mall walkers too.

[ladytiffany24]

daisy818, Thanks for the idea and motivation! I think I'll start this up next week! (I have a lunch meeting tomorrow and am off on Friday so I'm not purposely trying to slack )

[thelittleredm]

I'm really upset that when the weather warms up finally, customers start acting shitty. Seriously, they come to us because we'll do free car washes for customers but then they act like they're the only ones getting a wash done. And then, we explain it can get backed up to almost 2 hours because we have a lot of people getting the free wash because the weather is finally nice and not everyone hangs out because they don't have to and we have ALL the cars getting service also in line for the wash so it takes even longer. And they're still pissed at us because it's taking to long for their car even though they are given a (usually) correct time estimate of when it'll be done. I'm tired of these people already this week. -.-

The problem I have is that I want to be a mall shopper more than I want to be a mall walker. I have no self control.
