I'm looking forward to tonight's premiere episode of Grey's Anatomy, and to think I didn't watch a minute of TV for ten years before last year.

I am too! I've thought of giving up TV but I can't do it. Even if I'm not actually watching it, I like having it on for background noise when I'm doing something else. It's a bad habit.

Hooray April!

 

[zoebartlett]

It's a cold, cold night in the Zoe household.

I'm really frustrated right now. I had plans get canceled two nights in a row.

Ugh, I hate that! I'm sorry. At least there are a million good shows on TV tonight!

This UT alum is excited for the OU/UT game next weekend. Watch out Dallas, Strawdermangrl is bringing it.

In other news, I had a PS dream last night. Sure did, I had a dream I changed my name to 'Green Chair'. I am not really sure, either. Oh well, I logged in and I am still me. LOL. Happy Friday!

I need to stop shopping. I just bought a gorgeous pair of boots. I told myself I was going to save money, but that's not working with the whole improving my wardrobe thing. Part of me says "Save money while you can!" and part of me says "Pretty soon your disposable income will be dramatically decreased - do it all now while you can!" Clearly, that part is winning.

I'm gonna spend the weekend in my pajamas, I really need to relax after a stessful day at work! Especcccialllly with a babe on the way!!!

Fevers of unexplained origins are weird and a bit distressing

 

[princesss]

It never rains but it pours! In the last 24 hours, I've had two guys ask me out to the movies, and a guy text me to figure out when I'm free for a drink. Too bad I'm not really interested in any of them....

I'm up & out of bed after a crying jag about my kitty who passed a year ago (almost to the day). Strangely we had our pup at the vet yesterday too after she was having trouble with some food stuck somewhere in her throat/nasal cavity. And this was a different vet than I usually see at the practice. This one I've only seen twice -- once when he helped Clem pass over & then when I run in with T saying she's having trouble breathing. One year EXACTLY. The 23rd. Compounding matters, we're about to go on a trip & it was just after our LAST vacation that we came home to a suddenly sick cat. Its killing me to leave all of our pets for as long as we're going, even though I know they'll be in good hands -- two different family friends (one here w/the cats & one with T full time). If T isn't fully recovered & asymptomatic by the time we leave next week, we'll have to board her at the vet or cancel the trip & lose a ton of $$/our anniversary vacation plans. She seems okay now but there's a slight chance she could have all sorts of things. (Damn internet research). I can't sleep. Gah. I love my fur babies. My anxiety is out of sorts. *I* need one of the soothing pheremone collars they prescribed for T! If only they worked for humans. Just venting.

Also, I just heard about Kaleigh/Lisa's situation for the first time. MUCH HEALING DUST outgoing to a most fave PSer whom I consider a dear, dear friend.

DD, if you hear hoofbeats don't assume zebras! Take a deep breath and relax. Rescue remedy works just as well in humans as it does in dogs

 

[princesss]

Oh, Deco, I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. It's always scary when it seems like situations are repeating themselves. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your pup will be a-okay.

Our thread topics are too squished together again.

Oh Deco,
I am hearing your pain and the loss that you feel for your dear sweet kitty. Praying your Pup will be fine...I know how scary that is, the ups and the downs. My Casper is 16 years old, he's blind, and deaf. But darn it all he wakes up happy as can be, so he's teaching THIS old dog (ME) new tricks..


Don't do the interenet search, I did that for me, and was destined to be in a wheel chair in a year...

I am not trying to be funny, having had a friend who had ALS, and another who had another disorder, I know what can be on the other end..

SO, I decided to let other's do the research for me... Am blessed to have their support. You know them well, and am blessed to have such brainiacs behind me...

I am at the beginning of this journey and plan on keeping a positive outlook for as long as I can..

Thanks Deco,.

You have been such a dear one to me over the years...

xx

It's amazing how much calmer I feel when my house is clean.

...I am starting my second week at a new job and I so far I am really enjoying it!

...I quit my previous job in April and spent the entire summer at home with the hubs and the kids. We took advantage of my lack of employment to take two big vacations (the first was a multi-family 10-day road trip to California; the second was a 12 day trip to India and the Maldives for a wedding and our official honeymoon) and I started sending resumes out the first week that the kids went back to school.

I am really pleased because even though it wasn't a lot of money, I managed to get a slightly higher starting salary at my new job with a formal merit review in March. My new boss seems great so far. I love his approach of hiring competent people and then getting out of the way unless they ask for help. Yay, Me!

Thanks Autumn. The timing just couldn't be any worse. But, I don't know for sure if it is what I think it is or could potentially be. Talking about it makes it too real. So I'm just going to stop thinking about it for now, and focus on good things until Tuesday when I see the doctors.

I had something very very terrifying happen to me and it ended up consuming my thoughts tremendously. Don't let that happen, it will wear you out completely. Stay positive, please! I was luckily misdiagnosed but I really do believe that those around me who stayed positive throughout the testing had a significant impact on the result for some reason.

I'll pray for you tonight, Davi.

Big old cyber-hug Autumn, thanks. And luckily you straightened out the misdiagnosis!

No problem, I know how difficult it can be to get scary news and how much it can really take over your thoughts. I'm here for you whenever! You have a good mindset, keep it going!

Is everything ok?

 

[Strawdermangrl]

Is on hunt for perfect black dress.

Sigh. Any suggestions?

 

[princesss]

Strawdermangrl - do you have any local consignment boutiques? That's what ended up working out for me. I got a GORGEOUS dress (that I looked smokin' in, if I do say so myself) for $20.

ETA: What's your body shape/budget? I'm down for a little online shopping.

Stay positive...sending good positive dust your way and hoping everything is ok.

Hey Princess- I am about 5'9"- I have REALLY long legs (so length is ALWAYS a problem) I am average I guess, I have a big chest but otherwise I would say normal. I was thinking of hitting Nordstrom Rack and seeing what they have to offer...I just have a hard time finding something that works in the upper area. Boo.

 

[princesss]

Sounds like you're about my height/body type (I'm about 5'10" and an hourglass). That'll make it much easier to browse online for you.
