Hey ladies! Cute tags, Tigger! You're at Disneyland today! WoooHooo!

jenny105.... or is this again?

Prayers for the motorcyclist, DH is one too! Scary, I know.....

Everyone else have a great weekend!

 

[Rora]

I don't know if anyone on this thread prays (and I hope the request doesn't offend anyone who doesn't) but one of the newspaper's employees (actually one of circulation's employees, but one who doesn't work in the main office so I don't know him well) was in a motorcycle accident on Thursday. He was broadsided and the last thing I heard yesterday was that he was on life support and they didn't know whether he was going to make it.

He is most definitley in my prayers and thoughts.

I found this thread again! I don't know why I didn't subscribe to it in the first place, but I am now.

back!!! Glad to have another Unicorn on board!

He may end up being okay after all. He opened his eyes yesterday and was thrashing around in bed. It'll be a long road but he may make it.

And on another topic, how am I supposed to be good when the desk behind me was the one my co-workers chose to put fudge, banana nut muffins and two trays full of cookies on?

 

[jenny105]

Oh, it's the holidays. Indulge!

And thank you for the welcome backs!

 

[Rora]

Happy Monday Ladies!!!

Okay.. is it Christmas yet? I baked all morning, got a package from DFiance's parents (it was nice.. they don't really like me ), trying to keep busy!! I hope everyone is having a great day and is looking forward to the Holidays- whatever you celebrate!!

Glad he's doing a bit better. Still in my prayers!!

I know what you mean about cookies, fudge, etc. I feel like that's all I've eaten this whole month.. people are too sweet to bring baked goods into my work place and I can't help myself from eating them.. But hey, I'm going to gym. That must count for something!

That's always a pleasant experience! Why don't they like you? It's always a little tense when me and my DBF's family gets together. They're a little...wacky, shall we say?

Welll.. it's a long story. I shall try to make it short. Here we go:
His mom and my mom are best friends (well, were. They still are friends though). I met his sister when I was in middle school- we became best friends. I met him and we'll.. liked him, a lot. He liked me too. Well.. that definitley changed my relationship with his sister (for the worse.. ). Because she and I are so close, sometimes I forget she is his sister and I tell her things that maybe I shouldn't tell her- like when I'm upset with DFiance or when I think some random guy is cute (he's just cute, it's not like I want to dump her brother and get with him.. ). Then she always tells her parents. I feel like we're 12. In addition to all of that: his mother is incredibly controlling, thinks I'm stealing her proclaimed "favorite son" from her and that "he doesn't really know me"--we've been together for like 9 years. His mom is sweet to my face and then talks trash in front of DFiance and the rest of her family.

This is just the begining. This turned into a mini-vent! Sorry Ladies!!

That's just so juvenile. Seriously, I understand that's her brother, but you aren't allowed to think another guy is cute? You're just looking, you're not plotting to cheat on her brother! And the fact that she runs to tell her parents makes it worse.

You guys sound like you practically grew up together so as for 'not really knowing you'...lady, get over yourself! She's just mad because she's not going to be the #1 woman in his life anymore. That doesn't justify her talking trash about you though. She should respect her son's wishes and want him to be happy if she loves him so much and keep her mouth shut, regardless of how she feels about you.


That's an annoying situation to deal with!

Thank you for that. Seriously. Sometimes I feel like I'm the one being unreasonable. Glad to hear someone else's perspective, who isn't my mother (we all know she is biased, ) or DFiance.

Hey, Unicorns!! I hope you guys had a great weekend.

I'm so excited that you worked a day in for DL. Please please please take pics and do a mini-TR! . Glad you make it to California safe and yay for a public computers! Have a great time!!

Thanks, Rora! We had great time at DL. I'll definitely do a mini-TR when I get back.

Happy Saturday everyone!
9 days till my fiance comes home. I'm going crazy, lol.
I hope everyone is looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I decided to be productive and... get ready.. go to the gym.. . Whew. Wish me luck!

Your fiance will be back before you know it. Hang in there!

Rora, why are you going to the gym? You're not supposed to do that until January! Eat, drink and be merry........until January 1st.

I don't know if anyone on this thread prays (and I hope the request doesn't offend anyone who doesn't) but one of the newspaper's employees (actually one of circulation's employees, but one who doesn't work in the main office so I don't know him well) was in a motorcycle accident on Thursday.

That's horrible! I will definitely be praying for him. Please keep us updated on his condition.

Welcome to the club, Jenny105!!!

Hey, someone's getting close to 500 posts. I'm not mentioning any names............

Awww, I know I didn't read them right away but I love my tag

Glad you liked them!

Hey ladies! Cute tags, Tigger! You're at Disneyland today! WoooHooo!

Thanks, Julez! My family and I had a great time at DL. I'll write up a mini-TR when I get back.

Happy Monday Ladies!!!

Okay.. is it Christmas yet? I baked all morning, got a package from DFiance's parents (it was nice.. they don't really like me ), trying to keep busy!! I hope everyone is having a great day and is looking forward to the Holidays- whatever you celebrate!!

It's only a couple more days till Christmas!! Can you believe it? That's awesome that you got a lot of Christmas baking done! What did you make?

I'm sorry to hear about the issues between you and you DFiance's family. That's awful that your future MIL is being such a jerk to you. If I were you, I'd confront her as nicely as I could. (However, I would be prepared to take the gloves off, if you know what I mean.) I know that you may not want to make any waves, but she needs to know that she can't act that way. In any case, I hope that your future in-laws come to appreciate you at your full value. Your DF is lucky to have such a wonderful person like you in his life. I pray that everything will work out for the best.

Yay! Glad you enjoyed yourselves!


Rora, why are you going to the gym? You're not supposed to do that until January! Eat, drink and be merry........until January 1st.
I know I know.. except with all these cookies I've been eating, I feel like I am starting to resemble a whale.

You know what that means?!?!?!


It's only a couple more days till Christmas!! Can you believe it? That's awesome that you got a lot of Christmas baking done! What did you make?
Red and Green M&M cookies, candycane cookies (just sugar cookie dough with half red food coloring and half normal, then twist to make a candy cane!) and sugar cookies.

Thank you for your prayers and your kind words. I know I should say something before we actually get married but I just don't know what to say. I'm praying that those words will come to me soon!!

HAPPY TUESDAY LADIES!! It's almost Christmas! Oh and if we have any Hanukkah celebrators, Happy 2nd Day of Hanukkah!

 

[julezdisney]

Can't wait for the mini-TR, Tig!

Rory- so sucky about DF's fam. And that sister sounds like no friend of yours! Hope you don't "confide" in her any more!

Yes, Happy Hanukkah to those that celebrate and to those that celebrate Christmas- you shoulda heard DD's squeal when she was told tommorow is Christmas Eve! LOL

 

[jenny105]

No problem You're not being unreasonable at all! The way they're acting isn't right!

I went across the street to get a hot dog today...hot guy wasn't there. His mom was but they were out of gas. She gave me a little bag of home made fudge she had made...said she had made it for the people that always make her smile when she sees them coming and who have been nice to her. Funny, I got a very nice present for Christmas from my parents (a laptop, which I love) but it's little things like that that make it feel like Christmas.

 

[jenny105]

That was really sweet of her The little things go a long way.

It's so slow at work that I spent some time on wikipedia reading the SVH and BSC pages. Yup, I'm that bored! I was mentally checking off the books I've read. I never read SVH: Senior Year though. I've never even heard of any of those characters!

Just thought I'd share

How sweet!! I agree- it's the little things that make Christmas feel like Christmas.

But.. you should've asked for her son's number

Well, missy, looks like you know whats up next on your reading list!

Well, missy, looks like you know whats up next on your reading list!

I can just imagine someone asking what I'm reading, saying Sweet Valley High, and the look that would follow...

I read SVU but none of those Senior Year people were mentioned there. And I guess I must've stopped reading SVH too soon because I was sad today to find out Olivia Davidson died!!

I'm getting way too into this 6pm needs to arrive so I can leave!

 

[sweetandsassyfl]

I must be absolutely nuts. I was supposed to get off at noon but get paid until 5....that's what Accounting offered all of the Accounting employees and temps. Well, I emailed Circulation and asked my boss there if she needed me after noon and her answer was "wow...must be nice. I would really appreciate it if you're willing to come over here and work so all of you can go home early, even though I'm not sure how early. But it's up to you if they're willing to sign your time sheet." And I actually agreed to stay after noon, so I'll be working basically for free since I would have been paid until 5 no matter how late I stayed.

 

[julezdisney]

Sass, you b-kisser! LOL

Just kidding! No, that's great! Showing awesome incentive- your boss is prolly so impressed!

 

[jenny105]

You're the total opposite of me. I'm more of a "We get to leave early and get paid for a full day? Sweet!" kinda girl

Happy Holidays everybody!!
