morning everyone!

i had my first wedding nightmare, but it was someone elses wedding, and the god aweful brides maid dresses LOL

LOL.

I almost asked for pics...

funny enough, i was trying to find something similar online. think, lingerie, black teddie with hot pink flower trim.

Interesting! What a naughty wedding!

yah.. so in the "wedding dream" the dresses arrived to late so we had to wear normal dresses (darn) and then we recieved them as bridesmaids gifts.
note to self - no PBR before bed.

[ksluice]

Hi Ladies,
Just got back to my screen! OOOh, lunch time...excellent job on the salad Bia. I am inspired.

And as to the panic attacks...don''t forget about insane "i gotta get outta here" feeling...only when you do...that''s no good either. Yuck. About to follow my own advice on that front though---hope everyone has a wonderful lunch time

Ah, camping...I once had a friend say that the closest she did to camping was staying at one of those hotels where your door opens onto the wilderness. This still cracks me up.

They take their wings seriously. I actually knew someone who had his shipped from a restaurant in Buffalo! Like 100lbs of frozen wings or something. Okay, maybe not 100lbs, but it was a lot.

yes! i cannot stand them (um..weird freaky fact, i hate eating things off the bone) and the sauce makes me want to hurl. I must have had a bad experience as a kid or something.
although, we did have the worlds best glazed honey wings on vacation, and i even ate them like a normal person! (e normally cuts off the meat for me..like i said, im weird)

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

Thanks for the sympathy ladies.

Random thoughts:

1) I want a salad. A delicious, fatty Cobb salad. From Chop''t if possible.

2) I like my officemate, he''s a great guy, but NOT when he turns on the fan in our freezing office. Just take your freakin'' jacket off!!

3) I hate waking up BF because he asked me to, and he won''t get up, and then I waste a lot of time trying to get him awake, and I get pissed off. What a waste of time.

It''s not the greatest day, sadly.

I hope all of your days are going better!!!

They''re not fun. My chest gets really tight, I feel like I cant breathe or swallow, my heart races, and I start sobbing uncontrollably because of an impending feeling of doom. The more wound-up you get, the worse they get. I have to really focus to try and regulate my breathing. Just ''in... out....'' That helps bring me back to reality.

It is especially not fun to get them at work.

Sorry babes...

I hope you never have one again (hugs)

Thanks B.

Whats the status on the job you applied for? Any news??

NADA

I applied online on Thursday...not sure how long it takes to hear back if they show interest. It''s the NYC Dept of Health, so it could take a while. I''d love to work there but I''m afraid to be too excited for fear I won''t hear back, you know? I hate being rejected! LOL

Probably weeks... at the very least.

I hear you! I''ve been applying for jobs here and there and haven''t heard back AT ALL. I haven''t let myself get excited, because I realize there are NO jobs in Michigan, and a call back is really unlikely right now.

I just applied for a victim rights/witness advocate position for my county. I would LOVE this job... but am trying not to even think about it.

I know, me too! Applied at three places, no call backs so far

I would love to work at the Dept of Health...and if I do get a job there (pleeeeeease!!!), or in a hospital/non-profit, I think I''ll go back for a second Masters in Public Health or Epidemiology. Based on my current field of study, while I love the work, I know I won''t love working in a compltely corporate setting. Which is too bad b/c that''s where all the money is!

back in late april/early may i applied at over 40 places in town, i only had two interviews in may, then i had 3 throughout june. it took over a month before i even heard back from the one i really wanted, and now i''m finally in lovely orientation. the lights above me keek losing one of the bulbs periodically. it''s like the light sensing ones at big stores with skylights, but this is a one-window lecture hall. odd. i''m going to be extra odd today and have weird dreams tonight, two cups o joe on an empty stomach

Not me. I love chicken. Boneless are good too though, I must admit. That''s what comes in the buffalo chicken wrap. It is so good.

BEG, I hear ya on the waking up thing. My hubby''s IMPOSSIBLE to wake, yet he always asks me to. ARgh!

FI is an early bird, but he doesn't like to be woken up when he's been up late. He actually had the nerve to get annoyed with me because I called him from my car on Saturday morning after realizing I'd forgotten my wallet, and needed him to bring it down to me. Nevermind that I was in a hurry to get to class, and that I was going to be late!

eta: Hope your day gets better

I LOVE buffalo wing and strips. C loves them too. I actually make the BEST buffalo wings of all time. I fry them, skin on no flour, season them really well and i make my own secret sauce. Mmmmm

Now i so want some, and i cant im doing really good on the diet. Im down a whole size and i really dont think buffalo wings will help
