I just wanna say -- the random comments thread

Redrose - I probably would (and I really think you SHOULD) mention the dishes. To me that is disregard for you guys. You agreed to let her stay there, you did not agree to clean up after her. Just mention to her that you'd appreciate it if she'd rinse her dishes as it cuts down on the time you have to spend doing dishes. I don't see a problem with that. I live at my grandparents' right now. I always make sure to AT LEAST rinse my dishes, if not also load them into the dishwasher afterward. It is courteous.

ETA - She also may be confused as to what you would normally want done, and that's why she leaves it? Normally at a friend's or cousin's house, I'll ask what they would like done with the dirty dishes if I use them. Perhaps she is afraid she'll do something you wouldn't normally do in terms of routine with dishes.

I can't warm up, no matter what I do. I've already had three large cups of tea today but it's not helping.

Taking off for NYC tomorrow, hooray! I am READY for a weekend away!

I think..... I think I might grow a wild hair this weekend.....

I will always regret that I had to say goodbye to my grandma over the phone this weekend. My parents told me not to fly out, but I should have listened to my gut. I got the first flight out on Monday morning, so at least I was able to hold her hand when she passed, even if she didn't know I was there.

 

[dragonfly411]

NEL - Try to believe that some part of her knew you were there. My great grandmother passed unconscious, but I always firmly hold to the idea that perhaps she felt us there with her. ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) I'm sorry for your loss.

NEL- I was there with my mom when she passed. She was on hospice so we knew that we were going to be around but I tell you what- SHE KNEW you were there. Holding her hand was the best thing that you could have offered. Hugs, love. That is a hard thing but know that with that peaceful passing she is now whole and without pain. Strong hugs and positive thoughts for your heart and healing in this difficult time.

NEL, I'm very sorry about your grandma, and I'm sure she knew you were there. HUGS

Hi Renee, Lauren told me to try to reach you about Sunday. Are you guys meeting for brunch?

I am not a freaking switch board operator, if you knew the extension to begin with, why didn't you call it?

Uh oh. I managed to forget that traveling with my boss means drinking with my boss. I can drink, but not like him. This is going to be interesting.

My liver and I are cheering you and yours on. A 'pep' talk is always a good idea, livers are receptive to early warnings.

If anyone could make life suck less? Yeah... that'd be nice.

Awh, I'm sorry honey.

But if you do find the secret, would you share it? I hoped so much that this would be the year things would get better- but not this year. Already I'm wishing for December 31st, I need a fresh year. Déjà vu, anybody?

I hope you feel better or whatever is upsetting you, resolves.

 

[princesss]

I didn't think my goal for the day would be "Don't cry at work" but it is. Nothing like bad news to make your Friday fan-freaking-tastic.

 

[dragonfly411]

Princess - sounds like my day carried over to yours, and I'm sorry if I rubbed off .

On a good note, my grandpa found out he got a job this morning !!!!! He was laid off a little over a month ago due to lack of work, and a new company picked him up. There's a large part of me that wishes he didn't have to work, as he is diabetic, but unfortunately he and my grandmother do have to to keep everything up and going. I don't guess helping me and my sister out with horses helps much, but hopefully with the booger getting trained I can get him sold soon. I can't say that my grandpa helps himself either though, he is constantly trading boats and trucks for different/new ones.

 

[zoebartlett]

NEL -- I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother.

Dragonfly -- I hope today has gone better for you than yesterday did. Congratulations to your grandpa on his new job!

Princesss -- I'm sorry you're having a rough day. Can you go out tonight or this weekend and take your mind of it?

Have you ever wanted to tell someone off but you know you couldn't? Ooohh, it's so hard to keep it all in, and my tongue hurts from biting it so much today.

I found out today that I passed the bar! I'm now Octavia, Esq.!

Congratulations Octavia!

 

[dragonfly411]

Congratulations Octavia!!!!!!!!!!!


Last night I went to the car wash that my SO's truck always fits through. I have the same model truck, same height, reason says it should fit too. NOPE I can OFFICIALLY say my truck is BIGGER than SO's. . The only problem now is I have to get my money back. I couldn't cancel the wash.

 

[gemgirl]

I found out today that I passed the bar! I'm now Octavia, Esq.!

That's wonderful news Octavia, and quite an accomplishment. Congratulations!

 

[princesss]

Congratulations, Octavia!




I'm in the middle of cleaning out my closet trying to downsize before I move so I'm not moving things I don't care about. Holy cow. Just getting rid of things that don't fit/I haven't worn in a year drastically downsized my closet. I may not even NEED the walk-in closet that I have in my new apartment! Crazy.

 

[Octavia]

Thank you, Zoe, dragonfly, gemgirl, and princess! It is such a relief to know. I took the bar in two states and the second one's results don't come out for another month or more, but at this point I don't even care about that!

 

[gemgirl]

I wore the prettiest high heel black suede sling backs Saturday night, but they killed.my.feet! So yesterday, they left home. Now they're living at Good Will.

I promised myself ten years ago, I'd never wear uncomfortable shoes again. But they were so pretty! Just smack me in the head if I ever do that again! My poor toes.

1. I am an awesome wing woman, but holy cow does my friend owe me for entertaining the troll of a friend her guy brought along. He put me in a headlock. Multiple times. She's lucky she's going through a break up AND it was her birthday, otherwise I would have bailed.

2. I still hate packing.
