Wow!

I'll keep you company.

Yesterday sucked.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

It did indeed. Today will be long but no bs drama. Been here an hour and still waiting on labs. Call team should not have been called until lab work was cleared.

Good. You deserve a break.

Yesterday I found out that a co-worker is getting a divorce. He has only been married for 6 months, and is seriously the sweetest guy ever. His wife used to work at the library & we were scheduled to have lunch in the afternoon. I told her I was sick.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Oh wow, short marriage! I have a CW going through a divorce too. He's so whiney. He's actually part of the cause of yesterday's drama.

He seemed SO happy...put on a good front. His wife got divorced in 2013 from an abusive womanizer. I had no clue that she was treating the new husband the way she had been treated.

That sucks. People treat marriage like it's disposable.

There are butt warmers in DH's Jeep. Use them all the time. Wish I had them in my Corolla!

Flan, that's sad about your friend. Sometimes nice guys are easy targets.

I hope he can learn from it, and that it doesn't sour him on relationships.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Oh the drama! We have a scheduled case that requires a special tray and a sales rep. Apparently after one tray arrived last night the doctor changed his mind and is using a different company. Well no one told the first guy. Now we have two trays and two reps. Number one is pissed. He was on his phone with his boss talking trash about number two.

FNW · Guru

We have them in both cars. I love them.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I love my heated seat. When I bought my car I told the salesperson I would never use them. He told me I would. I love them! I will never buy another vehicle without them! I only use it for about 5 minutes and by then the heat has kicked in and I am a happy girl.

Divine Geek · Guru

My last car had them. And the heated lumbar on the driver side too. I used to turn up the AC and turn on the seat because it felt good on my back if I had a long drive. What I really miss is the remote start. That was so nice. We shuffled cars last year and I ended up with the one with neither heated seats nor remote start. Oh well, it gets 40 mpg so I spend about $50 a month on gas. I guess I won't complain. Too much :)

I fell asleep early last night, about 9-9:30. It's the third time I've done it in the last couple weeks. I might need to adjust my meds schedule.

Not much planned today. Might do some more laundry. I have Kohls cash to use. But it's only $10 and the closest Kohls is almost 45 minutes away. I'm still deciding if it's worth it

FNW · Guru

Can you use it on-line, DG? Maybe they offer free shipping?

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

I LOVED the (almost) instant heat of the seat warmer in my 1999 Chev suburban! I miss it!

I can use it online, but you have to spend $75 for free shipping. Going to call my cousin, see if she wants to go. We can make it a girls night and go to a real resturaunt to eat lol

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Still at work. Cha ching!

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

Happy Saturday everyone! I am finally off work. I had horrible dreams about my ex-best friend (who was supposedly still my best friend in this dream), someone who was supposed to be her little sister, a woman I work with and my parents.

My parents were running a restaurant and I was an incompetent server - which is really just a workmare from previous jobs - but there was this best friend working with me and she knew this guy that I was dating, but apparently he was a really big ******* and was taking money from my friends and my parents to not hurt me. Nobody told me, but then my best friend wanted the money back from me, and it turned out that she was in cahoots with him and was really making a killing off of everyone else.

I wanted to go do something for my birthday (still in the dream) but everyone jacked around for so long we ended up doing nothing and I decided that none of them were really my friends anyways and I hated them all.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

Tig, your dreams sound as upsetting as mine!

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

Sometimes they're nice. But I'm having lots of real-life angst over friends, trust, etc. Its okay.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

DH surprised me with breakfast in bed today. While we were talking, he said his New Year's resolution was to make sure he got his work done by a certain time so he could help out around the house more and be more available in general. 😍 He gets it. I resolved to appreciate when he is able to help out and not be mad that he isn't doing more.

And we resolved to smooch more 😘

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Good afternoon.

Busy day of doing nothing ahead of me.

Have a great day everyone.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

DH called to ask if I remembered the last name of his Aunt B. She lived in Honolulu and we visited her one time, probably 13 years ago.

He knows that she died and is trying to research when (and where she is buried).

So I started talking: "Oh, gosh, hon, I don't remember. I know we sent her Christmas cards for a couple years, but I don't even know where I would have written down her address."

Then I interrupted myself, and exclaimed: "York! It was York."

DH just laughed.

I iz smart sometimes

Good afternoon everyone.
Christmas is down at our house. I hate it. The house looks so ..... barren.
It's snowing.
It's getting colder.
I have the blahs.
Whine, whine, whine.
I hate January.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

MM, I love your DH's resolution. Sounds like a big win for both of you. :)

Shouldn't that be "wine, wine, WINE?"

It's rainy & about 43 now...colder tomorrow, so snow? Ice? Sleet?

Can't wait...

One is Hogue, Late Harvest Riesling - 2013, the other is Polka dot, Washington Riesling 2012. smile

We are taking ours down too Czech.

It does take the festiveness from the house.

I thought about leaving one up and decorating it for Valentines.

I am not feeling so good. Got a bit of yuck happening in my head.

Divine Geek · Guru

My cousin said she'd go shopping with me, made plans to meet at 4. Then she texted and she forgot she already made plans. Honestly, doesn't surprise me at all. I don't think she wanted to go anyways. Oh well, I'll just go by myself.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

30 more minutes! I'm getting off at the time meanie was originally wanting to cover my call till until she decided I needed to be punished. Now all the money is mine all mine!!

After 3 days of cold and rain, we finally have sunshine and 52.

I better get the outside lights down, while the getting is good! smile

Have a great Saturday, everyone!

I'm taking the Christmas stuff down too.

A little depressing, until I put on Toto.

Everything is more fun when Rosanna is blasting.

I think we're going to take down our Christmas stuff today or tomorrow. I'm a bit sad but also a bit glad to have it out of my way. Three dogs and a tree don't really mix.

I have no Christmas stuff to take down...

I find it helpful to pick up the windshield wipers, so they're not going to get frozen to the windshield.

If you have silicone spray, you might try spraying the gaskets surrounding (at least) the driver's door, so water won't get between the gasket and the door frame.

Several of my neighbor had human-size figures lying in their front yards, looking like someone in winter clothing collapsed there.

This year I will NOT call for medical assistance for them. cry

Vinegar and water will deice a door.

So will rubbing alcohol and water.

I told Husband I'm not done with Christmas yet. I might take it down next week. I really miss the butt warmers and cupholders in my old car.
I'm watching Despicable Me with Bunny. A nice lazy Saturday.

Last year we had terrible ice storms. The natives all told me vinegar and water works. You can even spray vinegar on the car ahead of the storm to prevent the ice from forming on the car.
