Just blabbin'

Hey kittens!
Today I'm writing you from work, just sitting here during a little break. One of my coworkers made some crock pot lasagna and had it cooking in here this a.m.  Yummers, it was tasty!  So now I'm sitting here, full of lasagna, slightly miserable (but didn't over-eat, thankfully) and sleepy.  A nap sure would be nice right about now.  We have a very comfy couch in the office, too... I may have to wander over there soon.  ;)
I have a confession.  Y'all know that I like to polish my nails, and I have been pretty regular about doing so.  I have not done it in so long!  My toenails aren't even polished!! I had all intent of doing it this past weekend, but I never got to the mani/pedi.  I decided that resting was much more needed.  I promise, I will have one soon. I even got some new Butter London colors, and I'm super ready to use 'em!
My sweet little Coco turned 4 on Monday.  To celebrate, I gave her some scrambled eggs w/her breakfast & grilled chicken w/her dinner.  And I let her stay out all afternoon & into the evening, getting as dirty as possible.  She did that again last night and was filthy!  She looked like she was having fun, though, so it was fine. Bath time was last night.  To even further celebrate, this little banshee has been running free in the house b/c she's potty trained & doesn't eat anything, but now she is in a crate.  I had to borrow one from my mom, so it's huge for her dog, so I know Coco is fine.  Why?  B/c the place we're renting is now up for sale.  It was just listed last night and already someone is coming over to see it.  Yikes... We have until the end of October, so maybe our house will go thru and we won't have to move twice.  Fingers crossed!
Had a review at work today, I did well!  My [new] manager gave me good marks, so that was nice to hear this a.m.  All in all, today is a pretty good day!
I hope all is well for y'all!

Pardon me while I vent...

Hey dolls!  I'm watching the news and a few things are coming to mind that I just don't understand or get all the hype. Get ready, I'm not holding back. 

1. This youtube video that has the muslims all over up in arms, attacking our embassies.  Really? I thought they were peaceful people.  I saw a quick street interview that said the US didn't act fast enough in removing it from youtube.  My thought - is that the only video they found opposing Allah? Good grief.  Burning US flags, what if we started burning their flags randomly?  Whatever. I hope this clears up asap, time to act on this, Obama.  

2. Nude pics of the "royalty" surfacing.  Sheeeeeesh.  Who cares? There are TONS of celebs that get caught in the buff.  My thinking, I'm glad I don't have to hear about ol' naked Prince Ginger, but good grief! Hey, I know it's an invasion of your privacy, but you're royalty.  You think you can hide?  People will find you and they will take pics of your skinny body and your boobs.  No, you can't hide, and I am sorry for that.  I think the paparazzi is redonk, and it's unfortunate that certain people can't just enjoy their privacy.  But why are we in the US all over the prince & duchess' nude pics? Move on!  It's sad, but it's not tragic! 

3. I am completely addicted to the Wheel of Fortune!  I have got to get on this game show!  We have watched it all week long and I am convinced that I can win this game.  Where can I sign up?!? OMG I could kick butt at this game!  (well, tonight's show... haha) 

So enough of that, I'm sorry, but it all just hit me at once.  I had to vent somewhere, b/c you know, I'm not on facebook. lol!  (p.s. on a side note, listening to some little bits of drama from people about facebook & how people are so ill over little things, I am happy to say that I don't miss it AT ALL!!)  One new piece of info this week:  I now have to wear glasses for the computer.  Yes, I was told by the eye dr that it just happens in [my] 30's  So... I've got nerd glasses!  I had found a beautiful pair of Gucci frames, but sadly, they were out of my price range... (duh) So I chose these beauties - same frame, 1/3 of the price and fell in love!  

Update on the house - our file has been fully submitted to the bank (Wells Fargo) and is in the system. It's moved to a new stage, and we are literally waiting on the approval of the price we submitted. So that is a highlight of the week, too! 

This weekend is football (Go Gators & Jags!), finally a mani/pedi & a birthday dinner for our niece - who is turning 16 in a week!  Yikes!  Big girl! Coco's big race is in a few weeks, and we may need to start practicing w/her running.  I should probably find out how long the run is so that we can get this pup in prime condition.  

What are your plans for the weekend??

What day is it?

I think it's Wednesday... right?  3 day weekends really throw me off, don't they you?  I have to say, though, that it was a nice long weekend!  No laboring whatsoever, I promise you that. Well, okay, I finally cleaned up my dirty dishes in the sink & emptied the dishwasher Monday night, but that just had to be done.  Other than that, I spent my weekend w/family & even went to go see a movie w/the husband!  I was very surprised, but he said we could go on Monday.  We went to see the Avengers, since it came back out to the theaters.  It was awesome!
I really don't have much of an update for you on the house or baby front, just that we are still patiently awaiting to hear news on either. I took my mom in the house a week ago, and she also really liked it.  We went after some heavy rain, and we didn't see any wet spots on the ceiling, so that was great.  This house will be a project, but at the price, if it's approved at this particular price, it's great.  Don assured me that we would not let the projects go undone.  It will be nice to finally put my decor up, rather than having it stored away - like the vases, or bowls or pictures, whatever.  And projects - hello pinterest!
As for the baby, we shall see.  Patience is doing very well, and when there's an update on that, you'll know!  Let's just say that I have set up a couple of appts w/my OB (same that I visited w/the first pregnancy) in the next couple of weeks, so maybe I'll get some info then. It's funny b/c I pretty much announced what my ov. schedule is to all my female coworkers, and they're watching me (esp when I pour on the hot sauce - which is totally normal anyway), and asking me questions.  And then to a friend of mine & my mother, I've mentioned a couple of things.  Like that I've been tired a lot, and then I was feeling nauseous all day yesterday, and that my boobs hurt, I don't like sweets, etc.  I mean, hmm... When I get news from the dr, whatever it is, and whenever I decide to share, if it's positive, they'll all be like, "um ya, Lara, we knew."  haha!  So I kinda painted myself into a corner on that one.  You know what else is weird? It's been a year ago that I miscarried. Did I mention that already in a post?  I was thinking, that it was exactly a year ago - give or take a few days.  We shared the info w/my mom a week or so before her b-day (which is 9/30) and then after that, in October, was when I miscarried.  So you get why I'm not wanting to say anything just yet. butohmygoshifeellikethiscouldbeanamazingmonthforusandi'msoanxiousthati'mbustingattheseams!!

So, how's your humpday going?  Tonight I'm super excited to have dinner w/one of my bestest girlfriends at Cantina Laredo, a yummy tex-mex place.  She and her precious little girl will be there, so it will be fun.  This friend of mine, can probably read me better than I can, so I'll have to put on a poker face!  (Oh wait, she's awesome at poker, too!!)  I'm a terrible liar, so this will be fun if she asks me any in depth questions.  teehee
