The April LIW small talk thread

[IloveAsschers13]

UM OUCH! I can''t imagine- my mom broke her tailbone and that''s the closest thing I can imagine but pulling a muscle AHH!!!

Thanks

I can''t wait to be even lighter... For my wedding in like 3 years haha- you know that''s some (okay most) of the motivation behind this!

 

[jcarlylew]

morning ladies! time for the 4am wake up call

i am still uber tired, again, today. this schedule is killing me! i have been doing it since December, and i think its why i cannot lose any weight. *sigh* oh well.

last night we had fried razor clams, which almost ruined my taste for calms all together. next time, steamer clams only! but, since they tasted so gross to me, i got to eat a bit more pasta salad

Tonight E and i are going to an exotic fish cooking class tonight. yay. more fish. i''m half thinking about canceling, just to sleep a bit more, but i doubt i''ll even be able to fall asleep.

 

[jcarlylew]

oh common, no one is up? its at least 6 now.

wow. i had a cup of coffee. and i havent really had any for a couple days. uh oh!

 

[princessplease]

I''m up Carly, just at work

Oh an exotic fish cooking class??!!! That sounds AMAZING!!!!!
Any idea what kind of fish you''re going to be making?? I absolutely love fish!!! My faved are mahi mahi and chilean sea bass.

 

[Bia]

Morning everyone! I''m at work now. Jcarly, I don''t get up until 7:30

Exotic fish cooking class sounds fantastic! I love fish and am always looking for new ways to cook it.

 

[Lauren8211]

I''m awake. I get up at 7, and I''m at work by 8.

An attorney left the firm last week, and I''m dealing with the aftermath.

 

[jcarlylew]

hooray!! this is why i hate getting up early. at least PS has east coasters!!
Princess and Bia,
here is the description for the class (my sister teaches it with the supercute seafood guy. to bad eric is going

)

Join Seafood Team Leader Charley and Marketing Specialist Mary as they serve up tasty treats from the tropics. This charismatic duo''s last class oversold so be sure to register early. Tonight''s offering include tuna kibbeh in a pomegranate sumac reduction, Ginger Soy Seared Hamachi, and Indian Spiced Mahi Mahi. Don''t forget about dessert! We''ll have you at aloha.

i actually can''t stand fish, however i do like Tuna and Mahi Mahi so we might be okay here. If you guys want, i can always bring back the recipes!

elle- i hear ya. We have had major layoffs, firings, etc. It''s crazy right now, so i can only imagine its far worse for you.


Dreamgal, if you''re around, how are you doing?

i am SOOO ready for the weekend. i really want to deep clean my apartment, broken foot and all. i think i will start at 8am and if E is still asleep, to bad for him!!

 

[princessplease]

Oh, that sounds amazing!!! Have fun!!! Recipes would be much appreciated. FI doesn''t eat fish, but my mom does, so maybe I''ll make one for her for Mother''s Day.
I have to clean our apartment this weekend, too. I was so overwhelmed in April with my ridiculously large paper for my evidence class that I completely neglected cleaning. I have like a month''s worth of laundry to do! The kitties are loving the fluffy basket of clothes, though!

eh? Tuna and Mahi Mahi aren't fish?

hehehe just bustin your chops

 

[Lauren8211]

Mmmm. Fishes!

If it came out of the ocean, lake, stream, or what have you... I''ll eat it.

Not a big fan of cows though.

 

[jcarlylew]

i am a world of conundrums when it comes to what i will eat and not eat

like, i love all shellfish, except crab and lobster. I don''t like fruit, except for tart ones. i don''t like whole chickens, but i will make it, as long as eric cuts the meat off. and the best...i hate melted cheese, but will eat pizza

seriously. i am a freak of nature.

so i will try to get the recipes for ya''ll.
ooh, and there is wine tasting this weekend too that we will be going too. i swear, i love my sister more now that she works at wholefoods

 

[princessplease]

Mmm, wine tasting too! Sounds like a great weekend! There is a winery in south Jersey that I''ve been meaning to get to for years now, lol.
I''m completely with you on the beef, elle. I do not eat burgers, hot dogs, steaks, or anything with beef in it.
I love chicken, but like you jcarly, I''m not a fan of whole chickens. Just too messy and too much to go through for the meat!

 

[Lauren8211]

Whole Foods is the best thing ever. There are TWO in Ann Arbor where I live. It''s great. The newer one has a wine/cheese bar so we can grab a class of wine while we do our grocery shopping.

Best. Idea. Evar.

I am out of it today. I had weird dreams last night.

 

[jcarlylew]

i am out of it too. i am taking everything personal today. waayy to much stress at home AND work has WAY TO MUCH DRAMA.

way to much.

 

[sunnyd]

Yayyyyy for sun today!

Elle, I''m with you, I had the WORST dream last night! I dreamt that FI called it off. Everything. I was screaming and crying and punching him in the face (ha!), even...making him not able to have kids. And he was showing no emotion at all in the dream. I was so damn pissed. I woke up bawling. Boo.

Anyone else ever dream that their SO left them without any emotion at all?? I did, and like you Sunny, I woke up in tears. BF was cracking up as I was telling him my dream! So not funny in my dream though.

In said dream, FI brought a new girl to our home and kicked me out!!! Literally, I was sent packing! I was angry, crying, and he was completely un-phased. He didn''t love me anymore!

LOL!

I had this exact same dream. He brought home some other girl and said "yeah, if you could move out that would be great"

The worst part of the dream, to be honest, is how much I begged for him to not leave me. I told FI the next day and he thought it was really sweet that I wanted to fight for us. I kindly let him know that if that happened IRL, the only person left crying would be him...and quite possibly the other girl

 

[jcarlylew]

i always have the opposite dreams ( i leave E ) and feel awful about it. and wake feeling worse!!

Haven't had those kinds so much. But I've dreamt more than once of finding him with another girl!!! THAT JERK!

lol Then I always tell him about it later and I give him a playful smack and say how could you do that to me? He thinks I have the craziest dreams. Which I do.

ETA- Now that I think about it....the times he was with another girl in my dreams, he never cared much that I was there and upset at him....

lol

Gah! I hate those dreams.

I''ve been having a lot of dreams lately where I wake up sobbing. It''s usually because FF and I have some HUGE ridiculous fight, and he ends up being really cold and I can''t get a reaction out of him. It''s like he loses all of his emotion and its so scary. Blech!

I just said goodbye to the diamond on my lunch. FF is buying the setting tonight, and I won''t see it again until it''s on my finger.

Farewell, good friend!

This is the last setting I tried on that I said I loved. I think it''s going to be this one... unless he goes custom, which I think we may have nixxed since our original jeweler went out of business...

we can have a going away party... for something to return

 

[princesss]

Awww, you poor girls and your crazy dreams.

In mine I can''t even cheat on BF when I want to. Seriously. I''ve had dreams with these gorgeous guys that really make me want to

and I *can''t*. I wake up so mad at him that I can''t even do anything in my DREAMS. I sit there and say, "Do you know how ridiculous this is? I can''t cheat on you in my dreams. Even when I''m technically single in my dreams, I don''t do anything and it''s ALL YOUR FAULT. Can''t kiss other boys in real life. Can''t kiss other boys in my dreams. What next, huh???"

It really is a miracle he puts up with me.

Oh that''s very pretty elle! I''m sure whatever it is, it will be gorgeous! I can''t wait to see what it will be.

Elle, I love the setting! It''s lovely!! I love the surprise diamond!

Thank you PrincessPlease and DG!

Surprise diamonds are the best thing ever.

I like the idea of having a simple solitaire, but if you look closely... a little bit of flair. Love it!

I hope he gets that one, however, I know he''ll do a great job picking, no matter what. He has great taste. I''m just jealous he gets to go to the jewelry store today and I don''t.
