I Hate Love Hate Love, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off - Sept 29

Morning!

Well, I woke up at 4:30am. It's better than waking up at 2am, anyway! :p

Michele - Haha, I always write my comments into an email so it always tells me my spelling errors...but then I often find something incorrect so I'll go in and edit. So did you get back to the worthless department store?

Diane - Well, that doesn't suck to be able to eat another snack during the day, eh?

Dana - Hey, dial up sister! I didn't know/remember that you have dial up. Or actually, maybe now I remember your mentioning it. $23 for breakfast! What did you guys eat?


Speaking of breakfast, I really do need to do something with mine. There's only so far protein powder and oatmeal can take you. I've thought to make that delish oatmeal pancake, but when I wake up, I just like to eat and not make. :)

That being said, I've just finished my protein powder and oatmeal. LOL x(

My cold seems no worse....I'm thinking LIS in its entirety is sounding good for today! Wish me luck...
 
I just remembered Michele's talking about an apple oatmeal doodad. I think I must have copied that into a file. And I've got apples this week!

Apples and fish heads.
 
August that is so gross - apples & fishheads. Put a little olive oil in it and you've got a stir fry. HA!!! Add some sticky rice and you've got a full meal. Speaking of sticky rice, have you eaten that lately? I don't recall you mentioning it though.

Well let's see, what did we have for breakfast. I got pancakes, bacon & coffee (Gannon shared my pancakes); Gabe got french toast, sausage and choc milk and Jas got a cheese omelet, sausage, toast and o.j. and with the tip it was $23. I rarely go out for breakfast so I shouldn't complain.

Most days I eat the same thing for breakfast, high fiber english muffin with nat p.b. and sometimes 2 pc of turkey sausage or turkey bacon. I love oatmeal but I just hate cooking it.

I am so bored!
 
Hey, silly,

Cracked up at the stir fry idea! Hehe! Nope, haven't had that ol' sticky rice for a while now.

Is Jas your friend's daughter? What's wrong with her ordering a non-sweet breakfast? ;-) Poor girl. She's obviously mixed up. :p

Pancakes.....sounds so good...

Yum, your home breakfast sounds good, too. I usually just put my oatmeal in a bowl, put water in it and nuke it for a couple minutes, then I add in protein powder. For someone who lusts after oatmeal, it's actually fairly unsatisfying. :eek: I guess it lacks in the "sweet" factor. Adding in apple might do it some good...
 
Hi Ladies - I got some more excited news! I have been working on this big case for a couple of years and the Judge in the case finally issued an opinion on an issue we have been arguing about in motions for years. It is regarding a very confusing area of law that it very controversial and many court have gotten in wrong. Anyway, I have been solely responsible for drafting and researching everything about this area of law. The Judge completely sided with me and my analysis 100%, and if her opinion is published, which I am sure it will be, this will be a really big deal in the legal community. I am just so excited because I feel vindicated - so many scholars and legal commentary articles say the opposite of what I was arguing, but I knew I was right. And the Judge agreed. It is also obvioulsy really great for our client too. I am just so excited!
 
Yep, Jas is Amy's daughter. She is an oddball - she hates pancakes, french toast, jelly on her toast, etc. AND she hates chocolate.

OMG I forgot to tell you that I had BUGS in my house. A few months ago I bought a bag of steel cut oats from an area bulk food store. Who knows how long they were on the shelf there but a few weeks ago I noticed these tiny little moth-like things flying out of my cupboards. Upon further investigation, I found them in the bag of oats. YUCK!!! I had to throw everything in the cupboards away. I had some protein powder in baggies that my brother gave me and the bugs chewed threw that, chewed threw the bag of walnuts, flaxseeds, etc. How do moths chew? Do they have teeth? They are so small to begin with, they must have mighty tiny teeth.

Man am I bored. It is 5:40pm on a Friday night and here I am on here. I need to get a life. HA!!! My big plans for tonight are watching the "Ugly Dog Contest" on Animal Planet @7:00pm. I hope that my neighbors don't have to call the police on us, we might get too rowdy, you know with all this excitement here.
 
Kudos to you Diane. I"m excited for you too. You work so hard, you deserve this. Do you think that this might be grounds for a raise????
 
I wish! I just got a big raise earlier this year, so they are not giving out anymore raises until February (when we get our yearly bonus and raise). But I have already got a lot of acknowledgement around the office and congratuations from people that found out about it.
 
Hi everybody!

I just got home from the worthless mall. I was looking for some slacks and jeans but all I came home with were 3 cotton scoop neck tops to wear around the house. They were dirt cheap and I was unable to restrain myself from the powerful magnetic pull of the sale rack--lol!

Diane--there's just too much excitement swirling around you today! Well done, sistah! You're going to have to crack open a bottle of Sparkling Grape Juice and celebrate. Would it be breaking lawyer/client privilege to tell us about it? --I'm not the least bit surprised you're having trouble concentrating. Have you been looking at maternity clothes and baby stuff yet?

Dana, I agree--$23 for breakfast is highway robbery! Cost aside, sometimes it's worth it just to have someone else wait on you for a change. --I hate when bugs infest the grains. We had that happen before and it absolutely disgusted me. Actually, I won't buy in bulk. I know it's a bargain but I have an irrational fear of things like bulk food bins and salad bars. You just can't be too careful these days, ya know what I mean? I worry about things like people throwing stuff in there, or putting their hands in a bin after going to the bathroom, etc. I'm sorry if I just grossed you out--lol! --Oh yeah, I'll be home in front of the tube tonight, too. We're really tearing up the town!

August, definitely try your goop with apple. Add a few raisins and nuts, too. Don't forget the cinnamon! Oh, and a teensy bit of sweetner--I use a packet of splenda or a drizzle of honey..just a leelte bit. --Have a good workout. I haven't done LIS in forever...not since I got Eli. --It never occurred to me to type up my posts in an email first. I may have to try that. You're a genius!

I have to get to my workout now. I've been running around all day and now I need to get down to business. I'll see ya later, taters!
 
I love that "Jana is too busy!" from Dana!!

Haha!!

So awesome Diane! That is such a big deal and I am sooo happy for you!!! Soooo happy for you!! yeah!!!

So, Dana Mr. Gannon is about to be 1 real soon!
OMG let me tell you about daycare, I got a call today, some little brat took a bite out of my little DD and broke her skin he bit her so bad!! I went through the roof, well I did it in a clam and kind way, but this is not the first time we have had another kid scratch her and hurt her. So, I talked with the director of the day care and they are freaking out thinking I am going to pull DD out. I indicated if I was NOT happy about this and other things.

Has this ever happend to you?

The good news is we are interviwing another nanny on Sunday so hopefully she will work out.

Enough about me..Michele, when do the shoes get in? You will have to take some pics and post them for us to vote on the best ones.

Oh, and $23 for breakfast for 4 people is not bad...I spent that on lunch the other day, geeze I wonder why I am poor! haha!

Ok, well I have to run again, but I will check back in later tonight.
 
Awwww, Janjan. It must be so hard to see your precious DD get hurt in daycare like that. {{{{{JANJAN}}}}}. I hope you can find a way to resolve things. Good luck with your nanny search. Please be very careful with that (not that you wouldn't be ;)). My DH has a few horror stories to tell about nannies. I realize there are great child care providers out there but you can't be too careful.

Speaking of photographing teh shoes, I need to buy a camera for our trip!! We don't even have a camera:eek:
