Good morning.

So how are you guys doing?

What do you have planned for today?

What's your favorite December junk food?

I really like fudge, but it has to be made a certain way (I have no idea what that certain way is) in order for me to really enjoy it. As a general rule, I dislike junk food and candy and cake... Not ice cream, though. : )

Blah! Ten hours, in the Wal-Mart pharmacy? Seriously? D:

[lilmissmagic71.livejournal.com]

Oh I feel ya... I worked two years on overnight stock at Wally World... *shudder* Every time I go in on a late night run for something, someone asks "When you coming back?"

NEVER!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Of course, that answer is usually met with blank stares and confused faces.

:)

Hang tough. At least you are somewhat protected from... the shoppers. *double shudder*

Good morning. : )

I don't really know how I'm doing right now; I haven't woken up enough to evaluate. The only thing I have planned today is to get my braces adjusted.

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

I am hoping you are feeling well!

[crowblood-heart.livejournal.com]

I am about to shower and then RUN. because i have a lunch date at noon and i should leave in exactly an hour to get to that, but i am obviously going to be late getting to. ._.

Mobility lesson...

Meh, went so-so. We're making progress, though, so that's something at least. At least this time I knew where I was all the time, I just sort of coward out on an action I should have taken...

Bleh. I need to work on that, so seriously bad because if I don't I'm not going to be able to get any-damn-where. I should learn that second guessing yourself is never a good look. :(

Other than that, not much. Cleaning the bathroom, maybe, putting away clothes, making sure I can get things out in time for Christmas.

Yea Christmas! :)

I'm in new york at my parents, husband has an art opeing tonight and i will be dressing up and playing the role of the sexy wife. If only I could get myself to actually feel the part, that would be a bonus.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Hope the evening goes well!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Fake it (well you are, so it isn't much of a fake) 'til you make it?

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Where in NY? Good luck tonight!

Today is my last full day at the holiday temp gig. After work I will go to my yoga class ('yes I will, even in the rain' she says, convincing herself), write my entry, play with kitties, and get to bed as early as possible.

Everything holiday that needs to be mailed I managed to finish yesterday. Woot! Living halfway across the country from family is a good motivator.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Somebody please motivate me to get dressed. There's something inherently wicked about lounging around in one's PJs past 10AM when you've been up since 7 and aren't sick...

[hexkitten.livejournal.com]

Clothing are highly overrated.

[hexkitten.livejournal.com]

I'm cleaning! At least, I will be getting back to doing so once my son is napping.

By the way, this is not a euphemism. I'm actually cleaning my house, not hiding the bodies of dead prostitutes.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you've got dead prostitutes hanging around, somebody is going to be one lucky stiff! ;)

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

Feel like shit. May leave work early.

Hi Green Room --

Have some cookies! Gingerbread cookies! ::proffers cookies::

Food-wise, I am annoyed this morning because I went to buy a corn muffin at the bagel shop downstairs from my workplace, and when I asked to have the muffin toasted and buttered, they charged me 35 cents extra for the butter. Then when I said I didn't want a *side* of butter, I just wanted a small amount of butter on the muffin, they scowled and told me, yes, that cost 35 cents, and then as payment for my apparent insolence I found when I unwrapped my muffin that there was no butter on it. Or so I'd thought. Having eaten three-quarters of it I found a tiny little button of butter, about the size and depth of a dime. I am not usually a paranoid sort of a person, but I am pretty sure this was meant to mock me.

So if anyone wants to bring actually *buttered* muffins to the Green Room today... ::bigeyes::

[hexkitten.livejournal.com]

*raises hand*

My muffins are homemade and I butter the tops after they come out of the oven. It keeps it from drying out.

I'm late to the party! Oh well.

It's overcast and gray here in southern NE, but our yucky weather isn't starting until late tonight. Then it's the winter trifecta - snow, sleet, & freezing rain! I'm already thinking there will at least be a delayed opening for schools, and my husband is going to work from home.

In the meantime, I'm making calls for various appointments, updating my to-do list, and puttering around the house. This is my first quiet moment, as Mr Bear was bouncing around all morning :-P Ah, blessed silence!

*sets out chili-lime tortilla chips with shredded cheese and salsa on the side*

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Ew, I didn't heard about the sleet and freezing rain. We're supposedly getting 1-2" of snow overnight, but honestly it doesn't feel cold enough out right now for snow.

Good afternoon everyone!

I had training this morning--mandated training from our parent company for customer service training. The good news is I finally got to see the surveys that go out to our clients after their closings and I have probably been doing about 99% of everything the way I was supposed to anyway. Hey! That's good!

Anyway, the rest of the day is supposed to be wet, rainy, and maybe icy, so I'm staying home where it is warm and dry.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Yay for doing such an awesome job!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

OK, as soon as I finish my tea I'm off to Borders. Got a 30% off coupon in my e-mail. Thankfully both my Secret Santa and SO's are bookworms and have requested particular titles. SO's niece's birthday is this Saturday, she's also a bookworm, so we're getting her a gift card.

Yay for doing shopping all in one place!

Then to Wally World for the more mundane things in life.

Then back here. Last night I found an intriguing recipe for pork chops over at All Recipes that calls for caramelized apples and onions. We seldom eat pork, but it's on sale at Current Employer this week, so I figured why not?

My orthodontist appointment was canceled due to the "snow". After living in Delaware, this Arkansas snow is nothing to me. But then, States that historically get a lot of snow have a lot more machines to help clear the roads and such while Arkansas doesn't. Some people used to really make fun of the snow scare in North West Arkansas (I'm in Central), but that really *was* scary. With no machines to clear the roads, the hills were extremely dangerous.

so umm is it ok if i don't do happy and fun for my entry, lol. i don't really think i have it in me this week. i just wrote something rather dark but i'm not sure if i am going to use it yet.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

It just says "My Favorite Story" - no one says it has to be happy!

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

Wow...

Umm..

Busy day in here?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*looks around*

What?

I didn't have as much to do today as I thought?

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Since baxaphobia requested a "full report" of my experiences in New York City this past weekend, I'm sharing links to what I've written about it. Here's part one: http://alycewilson.livejournal.com/97058.html

It's going to take me a couple days to write about everything, since we saw and did a lot!

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for remembering that I wanted to read about your trip! I just finished reading and I felt like I was right along with you! Now I need to go to NY!!!!! I haven't been in a few years. The last time we went, Bruno got very sick so we ended up spending a lot of time in the public library until our train left. Sigh.

My plans this morning was to get sick--hormones.

This aternoon, cleaned out my room in preparation for steam cleaning and packing my bags for the adventures of house-sitting for 2 1/2 weeks at my sister's house. I will be documenting this adventure in my LJ.

Tonight is potluck and fun night for the bowling league I am a part of.
