Not a huge bacon/sausage/breakfast meat fan. Not a ''meat'' person in general.


I am starting to get hungry. Wonder whats on the agenda for lunch today...

Not into sausage, BUT BACON? Love it

Anything crispy and salty, I love

me too. when i am hormonal, McD''s is my best friend. fortunately, will power tends to win out.

I flat out REFUSE to eat fast food unless I''m on the road driving somewhere long distance.

I do not even view it as an option.

Doesn''t mean I don''t crave it.

Hey, I''m taking my lunch break and I want to put in a vote for bacon! The hog is a magical creature.

However I do not have any delicious bacon for lunch. I have eggplant ravioli, which is almost as good...if it were...crispy and salty, hmmm...

Eggplant ravioli sounds delish! I had a mushroom omelet for lunch

Don''t feel like being here much myself...only 2.5 more hours

Eh... barely.

I''ve been passively browsing, but not really getting into it.

I should seriously get on it.

Lunch was decent. Chicken salad sandwich. Thats been my new thing lately.

How was your lunch? Anything tasty? Like bacon?

Hi ladies! I''m usually never on here, but I finally have time now that I''m on summer break (I''m a teacher). What kind of work do you ladies do??

Hi, Tiff!

I waste endless amounts of time at a law firm doing admin work while finishing up my last 2 weeks of undergrad. After which, I will most definitely struggle to find any sort of suitable employment due to the dire economic status of my state.

BUT. I''m getting married!

 

[TiffanyLady]

Nice! Well, it''s too bad you''re taking your possible "joblessness" so hard (hehe, obviously, you are not letting it get you down!) Congrats on finishing your undergrad and double congrats on your engagement! How exciting!

how is work for everyone?

betterish than yesterday (though yesterday''s completely random interview was a pretty good mood enhancer) kinda sucked working for an hour less today, only had a 30min lunch

so no laps around the building for me. actually i walked to arby''s for the free roast chicken club with purchase of a drink deal, t''was delish (though now i feel like working out cause i normally eat a much smaller lunch while walking...)

oh and the energy thing- i just started sublingual B-12 and i don''t know if it really is boosting my metabolism, nor do i care cause once it dissolves i feel like i''ve chugged a coffee energy wise, minus the shakes and the bad after effects.

job-wise for me, i''ve got one semester left of undergrad. my current source of cash is the lovely produce section at wally-world, although i had a random interview during work yesterday for the invoice ... (some word goes there but i forgot it) position, and i had an interview monday to do lab work at one of the local hospitals, and i''ll find out both results on friday. target was going to hire me for stocking but i couldn''t do both lovely discount stores, but they''re giving my app to the pharmacist so i might get a call for her soon (hopefully)

 

[lilmissrugger]

Oh wow, I stumbled onto this thread expecting...well, not expecting 29 pages!!!

How is everyone doing today?

 

[Squirrly]

lol. i love that!

on to job #2! found some cute swimsuits at TJ max for vacay. both are orginally 125-178 bucks. thank god for TJ maxx. both of them looked semi okay. loved the bottoms of one, and the top of the other. and of course they don''t match

also found a pair of god-awful 80''s sky/bright blue sunglasses. getting those too! LOL. I''ll post pics of those when i can.

tomorrow my boss is going to braid my hair for me. we had to confirm, no bo derek hair style though!

 

[MonkeyPants]

Woot for new swim suits and vacay!

I shipped my little black dog down to LA to live with my parents for awhile. I can''t get any work done at home when she''s constantly whining for attention. So for now it''s just my FMIL little fluff ball and our other dog Buddy...I swear, I''m running an animal house.

 

[Squirrly]

now if you could just train one to cook dinner, another to give massages, and the last one to clean you''d be set.
and you''d be the most in-demand animal trainer ever.

 

[MonkeyPants]

Ha! The little 2 lb fluff ball gives face massages. She really likes perching on my face when I''m sleeping. FI walked in one night and I was dead asleep but the dog was wide awake and standing on my face like she was claiming it. Good thing I wasn''t awake because I do not like feet on my face...especially little dog paws

 

[Squirrly]

awwwwwwwwww what an adorable little fluff ball!
i don''t know how you slept through her standing guard on your head though, too bad your FI didn''t get a pic

 

[MonkeyPants]

Yeah..I''ve been waay tired lately.

No appetite either. Everyone was talking about lunch earlier so I got all excited to eat mine and I just couldn''t stomach it. I wonder if VitD suppresses the appetite. Calling Elle! VitD expert!

Haha JCar I''ve almost killed this thing so many times because she''s too small. She''s fallen on her head from off the kitchen counter (she launched herself while I wasn''t watching) onto the hard wood floors and made the saddest noises you''ll ever hear! She couldn''t walk straight for a few hours. Poor FMIL''s going to get a much dumber dog than she left us with...

lol. the only thing my dog has trained is pulling the clothes from the bathroom to the hall. thanks bowser!

 

[MonkeyPants]

hmm..maybe he''s trying to do your laundry? That would be an AWESOME trick!

 

[Squirrly]

poor puppy that thinks he''s a kitty...

i''m going to research Vit D a little bit and i''ll let you know if i find anything (funny, an article about it got sent to my email in one of the things i subscribed to not long after elle started taking it)

do you take any other supplements? (i''m a slight vitamin junkie since i don''t really eat all that well... well i was i kinda stopped taking em all and haven''t restarted)

 

[MonkeyPants]

OO yes please let me know what you find.

Just the vit d for now. I should take a multi but I hate how they taste and I sometimes burp it up...yes, gross.

 

[Squirrly]

Vitamin D toxicity can cause nonspecific symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness, and weight loss [74]. More seriously, it can also raise blood levels of calcium, causing mental status changes such as confusion and heart rhythm abnormalities [8].

it doesn''t sound like it''s toxicity levels but perhaps you''re taking enough extra that it''s affecting your appetite?
