Gnomies Gone Wild

I'm jealous! Mine aren't supposed to be delivered until tomorrow!

Mine just came today...

I hope the top strap stretches out a bit.... (only the foot beds mould) They are rather narrow... and I ordered a size up!

I may need to wear them with knee highs around the house for a few days to let the top strech out a bit

They didn't take too long to cool... other than the top being a bit tight, they are pretty comfy, though the final verdict will have to wait a few days til I see how they feel. Right now I don;t think I'd be able to walk too far in them:confused3

P- My shake and bake sandals came today - I'll bake 'em over the weekend! :yay:

Jen (MM) - Happy Anniversary!! :goodvibes And how sweet to even think of setting me up with your brother. What a compliment! I wish I lived closer too! :)

Jen (JJ)- sorry about a rough flight. :scared:

Julez- sorry the house stuff isn't turning out to be easy. But the right one WILL come along!! I looked at SO many before I found my house.

Katie- :headache: to work drama. Any luck writing that report? I do the clicking between windows sometimes too hoping that inspiration will magically hit and whatever I have to write has magically been written! :laughing:

CP- a sleepover! That will be... interesting! I agree with MM who suggested a gnomie sleepover- now THAT would be fun! ;)
 
Good Morning Gnomies.

It's Friday!! :yay::dance3::yay:

I had a craptastic night of sleep last night. Marc went out with one of his friends to see a band play. He left around 8:30. At 9:30 he calls me to ask if I mind if his friend stays the night since they are going to Framingham this morning (close to my house) so he doesn't have to drive the 40 minutes back to house and then back out to us this morning. Sureeeee. *Groan* We don't have a spare bedroom so the poor guy has to sleep on our couch which is not comfy for sleeping at all. So I start running around, pulling out blankets and pillows, tidying up the house and pack my lunch so I don't have to wake him up in the morning by turning on all the lights.

Sigh. Needless to say I spent the whole night wondering if the noises I was hearing was Marc & his friend or the boogie man.

They didn't get home until 2:30A so I got about 4 hours of peaceful sleep. To top it all off, Ruby decides to sleep on my pillow once they get home. She doesn't like strangers and I think she was freaked out. :upsidedow

All that to say........I'm tired!
 

Poor LL! :hug: I hope you get a peaceful night of sleep tonight -- I have a feeling I won't be getting much! :rolleyes:

I really hope so too! Marc's sleep study was rescheduled for tonight from last week so he won't be home again. I really count on the three days he's home to catch up on my sleep! :laughing:

It will be fine. I am sure the sleepover will be a huge success. How many girls are coming?

Four, but it feels like forty at this point and may feel like 400 by midnight. :rolleyes:
 
LL sorry you didn't sleep well... CP sorry you won't sleep well:lmao:

I slept 12 hrs last night... 12!! and guess what..... I'm still tired!
Maybe I have the opposite problem as you LL... maybe my problem is that Tom's home everynight:rolleyes: Maybe I should get my own room:rolleyes1

I think this whole Vitamin D deficiency is hokey:headache: I feel no better now than before I started taking it.... maybe even worse. BAH!

How long have you been taking it Paula? Maybe it needs more time to work? :confused3

Trust me, there are nights when Marc is home that I am very glad he goes back to work in a few nights. Sometimes he snores so loudly it wakes me up!

How are the sandals?
 
Happy Friday Everyone!!!

LL...sorry for the long night and little sleep...hope you get more tonight!!!

CP...Have a great time tonight!!!!! LOL...here's to whatever sleep you do get!!!

Paula...awww I'm sorry you are still not feeling well, that stinks!!!! I hope you'll be able to figure something out soon...and yes...how are those sandals LOL!!!

To everyone else...have a great Friday! We are heading to Austin to have a weekend exploring the area...I think it will be a lot of fun!
 
:lmao: It will be okay. What are the activities planned?

Activities??? :scared: Chelsea just wants to go to the pool, watch a movie, and hang out.

LL sorry you didn't sleep well... CP sorry you won't sleep well:lmao:

Thanks! :laughing:

Oh, Paula, that stinks!

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

CP...Have a great time tonight!!!!! LOL...here's to whatever sleep you do get!!!

Thanks, Jen! :rolleyes: If it weren't bad form, I am pretty sure I would have a couple of glasses of wine beforehand.

Have fun in Austin!
 
Happy Friday girls!

Sorry about the lack of sleep LL!

CP, I think the pool and a movie are plenty of activities for 12 year old girls. They will be perfectly happy sitting around gossiping and eating junk food!

P, sorry you still feel yucky!

JJ, have a great trip to Austin!

Strange job stuff going on ladies! I had applied for a job at the university where I work as a student teaching coordinator with the department of education. It's been 4 weeks since I applied so I had of course written it off. Yesterday I got an e-mail saying they had cancelled the search but would reopen it in the near future and to watch the website if I am interested in applying then. :confused3 My guess is either they haven't finalized their budget or more likely, they didn't get any applicants they felt were well qualified and want to try again. If the latter is the case, I would have preferred a rejection letter. Now I feel like it's still "out there" and they certainly can't go without someone in this position.

UGH, I hate this! There is a middle school teaching position at a small district about 25 minutes from the town we live. Greg keeps pushing me to apply thinking it would get us through another year and then I can search again. I just feel like it's nowhere near my dream job and don't the kids and the district deserve better than someone who feels that way?

I need some major pixie dust right now!! :wizard: I try to stay positive (I was offered my current job 1 day before receiving my last paycheck from my previous job and I still have a week before that deadline with my current position...I'm hoping for a trend :rolleyes:)
 
Happy Friday Gnomies!

This week has been soooooo busy! Sorry I haven't been around much. I hope everyone is doing okay! I was able to pick up a couple of shifts at work to help organize of our off-site storage space which was a disaster and left me exhausted!

I went for my second interview for the new job on Wednesday and have been freaking out about it since. I really really need it and want it! They just called telling me they were checking my references which must be a good sign!:woohoo:

Katie, I'm sure something wonderful will work out for you job-wise! You definately deserve it! :hug:

LL - I hope you have a much better sleep tonight! Any chance you can sleep under your desk at work today?:rolleyes:

Paula - sorry to hear you're not feeling well, I hope you get better very soon!

Jen(J) - Have a fun trip!

CP - I'm sure these girls will have no trouble entertaining themselves! The pool and a movie will probably be more than enough. All we ever did was sit around gossiping and making fun of each other! I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight! Maybe swimming will tucker them out!

It's nice that you were able to pick up some extra time. I know that every little extra just makes life a little easier

:yay: Yay for the second interview. YES, checking your references I would think means they intend to hire you assuming nobody tells them you suck :laughing:

Thanks Stace :hug: I'm just keeping my spirits up believing it will work out in the end. We both deserve it (not to mention need to be saving some cash for the all important gnomefest!!)
 
Katie, I really hope you know your job situation soon. I can't imagine how stressful it is for you. I am sending good vibes your way! :goodvibes

Stace, extra shifts are always good! I have some OT coming my way in August. It stinks cause it's the weekend but time and a half is always a good thing.

I'm really down on my diet today. It's so hard for me to not eat carbs. All I want is a subway roasted chicken breast sub. :laughing: Subway! Of all things that is what I want. I might treat myself tonight. On the upside my work pants and the pants that I lounge around in the house are both feeling LOOSE. YAY! I've noticed yesterday and today that I keep having to pull my work pants up. It makes me feel like I am doing something right! :laughing:
 
I forgot to say....

Is anyone interested in chatting tonight?

8ish? 8:30ish? 7:30ish?

Whenever.

Just tell me when!
 
I am sure you are all tucked away, hopefully in Dreamland where visions of Disney go dancing in your heads.........okay, maybe everyone except CP who is undoubtedly having to corral the 4 12year olds staying at her house, but still........

I just wanted to thank everyone for the sweet Happy Anniversary wishes.....you are all so sweet!!!! We are HIGHLY enjoying our anniversary......last night's date was so much fun....seriously, if you haven't seen Hangover yet, you MUST GO SEE IT!!!! Just the type of movie that makes me laugh really hard! LOVED IT! Today, he took the day off work, and we got to sleep in since Megan decided she wanted to spend the night at my Mom's house. We then went out for breakfast, and then picked up our little Princess. We then went out the three of us to do the back-to-school shopping for her for the first time!!!! It was so much fun, but we seriously need to take out stock in Crayola......we needed two kinds of crayons, colored pencils, and markers!!! Her school box looks like an advertisement for them!!! ;) We then got to all come home, take naps, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon. Tom had volunteered to help out a dear friend of ours tonight by bartending a celebration they were throwing for our friend's sister who was just declared in remission from her cancer.........don't worry, I know it is our Anniversary night, but Kevin (our friend) has done so much for us over the years and his sister has had to endure such a battle, that we were happy to be able to do something in return for him and his family. Kevin felt so badly when he found out it was our Anniversary, but I told him that I wanted Tom to do it so we could somehow give something back to him. He is really a great friend. So that is part of the reason Tom and I went out last night, and then we are also going out tomorrow night too!!!! The party continues on...........

Also on our agenda tomorrow is car shopping.....so wish us some luck.....I have NO idea what we are looking for!!!! I'll keep you posted!

Good luck again to all of you looking for jobs and homes!!!! Nighty-night gnomies!

Oh Katie! :hug: Here's to hoping we both have tons of extra cash for Gnomefest! As far as I know no one would give me a bad reference...mine are my current boss and my manager from the bookstore who misses me like crazy! He still loves me! I was hoping to hear back from them this afternoon but maybe they'll call in the morning. They're hiring 100 people so I should expect it to take time, but I want to know now!:rolleyes1

I'm sure something awesome will come along for you. It seems things always work out ok in life and I'm sure that will be no different for you. You are an amazing woman and I'm sure you'd put in 110% any job you do! I know you'll get something great! But I understand how stressful it is waiting! You know you can always lean on me for support! :hug:

Yay for OT! I know it sucks doing it at the time but the paycheques are always amazing! Do you guys get a holiday the first weekend in August? And way to go on the diet! Mine is not going smoothly today at all!:headache: I had bacon and eggs for breakfast, a cheeseburger and fries for lunch and pizza for dinner. Plus I broke down and had a regular coke today. But I hadn't had one for nearly a week so I still feel okay about it. But I'm pretty sure my pants are gonna be feeling tighter tomorrow! I think subway is pretty healthy for a treat! And that's my fave sub too! Maybe I'll have one tomorrow....I did do some Wii fit tonight at my auntie's! In anycase, yay for loose pants!:yay::yay::yay:
