Life update and honesty, in bullet points.
Lately, I feel stuck. I certainly don’t feel much like an adult at all.
I know that it has a lot to do with living with my parents again.
Even though it was a choice that we made, with full acceptance of what was coming, and this was voluntary, sometimes I can’t help but feel like a failure.
We put a bid on a short sale house. It’s taking forever.
Truth be told, I only like...
Gross
Maddie and Rocky just killed a possum in the back yard. I had to bathe a bloody dog. EEEUUGHHH SO GROSS.
Just received an email from a customer
“Every time I receive an email my computer beeps. How do I stop that?”
Yeah. That’s not my problem. Good luck with that. I am not your computer bitch.

simplejulie said: I love the rug, where did you get it? Also, what color are the walls?
Sorry this took so long for me to answer. The rug we got off of overstock and the walls are Benjamin Moore waterfall, at least I’m pretty sure that is what it is. The paint can is Kelly Moore…
Thank you, my dear! Reblogging for *maybe new house* inspiration!
Fuming.
Out of an 8 person team, all but me, and work bff Allie have called off sick today.
Only one of them has a valid reason, her dad is in the hospital.
Another put in her two weeks on Tuesday, so she’s pretty much using up her sick time between now and then.
Someone else lives an hour away and said the roads were too bad. Whatever. There is an inch of snow, and you take the express way. So...

Has anyone else noticed a discrepancy in "notes"...
My last 5 or 6 posts, the note counts are off. One says there should be 11, there are 4. One says there should be 28, there’s actually 20. Yet another that says 11, there’s 9. It’s driving me crazy, and I think Tumblr is hiding messages from me! Has anyone else noticed this?

Welcome to my life.
My mom is getting so mad at her friends over words with friends. It’s ridiculous. She now has the dictionary out and is yelling “Damnit! U-H-L-A-N is not a word, Rick! This is bullshit!”
Attention nail polish lovers!
Check out bebeautiful.com. They’re selling Essie nail polish at 50% off ($4 a piece) and even Seche Vite top coat for $5!
One question: Which do you like better? Essie Ridge Filling Basecoat, or Seche Vite Ridge Filling Basecoat?
FML
I just submerged my phone in Maddie’s waterbowl. While on a conference call for work. Luckily, I managed to not release a million expletives.
Currently it’s residing in a giant tub of rice. I sure as hell hope this works.

A confession
A pitiful confession.
I always watch the Kardashian shows with my mom. She defends Kris Humphries and it makes me mad.
I have awesome friends....
theotherkels:
who pitch in and send us stuff like this…..
He was annoyed by it, but I swear this is probably the best picture ever (at least currently).
eeeee! I love it. I’m glad it turned out so well! Also, I will not rest until I get a picture of E and Pat, side by side.

So do we think it’s Ivy Blue, or Blue Ivy, because I’m seeing both? I think Ivy Blue sounds better, but Gwyneth Paltrow just welcomed Blue on twitter, and I think she’s bff’s with Beyonce or something.
Elated but crushed
Bestie Sco just called. He’s taking a job in San Francisco. I knew this was coming. I knew he had flown out twice for interviews. This was not a shock. But I am still devastated. And simultaneously thrilled at the opportunity coming his way. He needs this. He deserves it. I can’t believe he is getting this fantastic opportunity.
Do you know how hard it is to sound ecstatic while...
Anyone have a good recipe?
I’m looking for a recipe that includes:
chicken
artichokes
white wine
angel hair pasta (or any kind of pasta)
I keep finding things like chicken piccata, but I’m not a huge fan of lemon, which I often find overpowering.
Does anyone have any good recipes that they know of?

Today sucks
I am the only one left working in my department, covering until 4. Thank God I am working from home, because I’m already drinking.
Bribery.
I’m in bed because I’m pretty sure I’m getting sick. Currently i’m wondering if it would be possible to bribe John to go to the grocery store and pick up Nilla Wafers and Nutella. And Sudafed and cough drops. But mostly Nilla Wafers and Nutella.

I'm not going to start an internet fight
Said person doesn’t even follow me, so I hope they never see this. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, their own standards, as well as free speech.
But I have to say, posting specific dollar amounts of job offers, and calling them pathetic can be hurtful. Some of us are just as educated, work damn hard every day and make similar amounts, or accepted similar amounts to start. Not all...
Thank you!
My phone wouldn’t update my app. I installed it and started over and now I see what you’re all talking about! Thanks!
A question
I have an android phone. My laptop is pretty much useless at this point and as we’re buying another house, replacing it is pretty much out of the question.
Is it possible to access messages on the tumblr app and I just can’t figure it out? Help, please and thank you.
I also made him give me the half of his good...
Don't mess with my grilled cheese
John and I had an epic (for us) fight that started Tuesday night and lasted through most of Wednesday. A fight that started over grilled cheese, and snowballed into a fight about everything else.
Yes, you read that right. It started over grilled fucking cheese.
I worked until 7 on Tuesday night, and didn’t get home until 7:30. John was in charge of making dinner for us and my mom, and he...

Happy birthday
To the one person who keeps me most sane at work, Kelsey, aka, theotherkels. I’m so happy that you shared a cube with John and that he knew to introduce us on my first day. I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
Between the wake, funeral, Thanksgiving #1 and today’s Thanksgiving #2, I am really tired of eating.
Also, please forgive my spelling errors. I suck at typing on a touch screen. They drive me crazy and I can’t correct my posts from my phone.
Giving thanks.
This has been a week. A week where at times, I felt as though there was not much to be thankful for.
My uncle passed away on Sunday. I am thamkful he is at peace, no longer struggling to breathe. I am thankful for such an amazing and strong family, and for a family that knows how to truly celebrate a life.
My sister in law’s mother was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of non...
Ohio Thanksgiving
This year we’re in Ohio for Thanksgiving, with my dad’s family. My dad hasn’t celebrated Thanksgiving here in 32 years, so this is new to all of us.
I love Thanksgiving and I’m a creature of habit. I await my favorite family dishes each year, because most of them I only have this one day. I’ve been nervous about how good my Thanksgiving will be this year.

This is the best day in a long time.
One, my boss and his lady drama that I know way too much about is out of the office for the next 12 days.
Two, I just realized that this week is my last 5 day work week until January. January will suck, but I am looking forward to the next 6 slightly shorter weeks.
Three, I’m in a great mood today, finally. I think this has something to do with the fact that I had a giant latte from DD...

This is perhaps the best .gif of all time.
My day is so much better because of this.
Guess who...

So excited.
