I’ve got a feeling (oooh, oooh) that this week’s gonna be a good week… that this week’s gonna be a GOOD week… that this week’s gonna be a good, good weeeeek! Sorry, spontaneous Black Eyed Peas moment, LOL!
Er, all of them? I still have a room off the kitchen that’s absolutely empty with the exception of three big jugs of water. I’ve been living here a year and have yet to get any real furniture. Tabs got a cat tower yesterday, so apparently he’s getting furniture, but I’m not.
A biotech PR firm. It was long hours and uber-competitive. I felt like I was swimming with sharks, which is totally not my scene. I’m more of a “let’s all hold hands and kumbaya” kinda girl.
Dinner! — because it’s the only meal I get to have with El Hub.
It was Tabs, last night as he tried and almost failed to shimmy his big ol’ kitty booty into the little carpeted nook in his new cat tower. Man, that cat’s got back!
After turning off the alarm clock, I usually lie there wishing I could go back to sleep…
My new Golden Girls boots (that’s what El Hub calls them for some reason). I picked ’em up at Marshall’s a few weeks ago. They’re comfy and go with everything!
J Brand 811 jeans (seriously, the BEST skinny jeans for short chicks, EVAH!!) and a blue/purple/white print top.
Halloween! Not only do we get to play dress up but there’s candy and sweets everywhere you turn, YUM!
I should probably list productive things right here, but I really, REALLY just want to have fun. Screw productivity this week. Come on, who’s with me?!
Hey, hey, chica. How goes it? I hope you feel refreshed on this lovely Monday morning. I woke up this morning with a super positive attitude, which is always a good thing!

Hey babe, is Napoleon still up in the mix? Or did he adopt another family?
Happy, happy MONDAY!
Nina says
he’s still with us, but he has shown a marked preference for the outdoors. the one week he slept in, he cried all night and i was so sad for him. we have a tower thing-o for him at the back porch and he stays there. surprisingly – he does not stray. when we move (whc might be soon), he is going to have that same set up, not unless he decides go go inside w/ the 2 other kitties.
feeding him is the last thing i do before i leave work. right before i get into the car to drive out.
Nina says
leave FOR work. 🙂
Karen says
Aww, he’s got an outdoor soul! Glad to hear he’s still with you guys.
So when are you guys moving? Are you heading to a new town?
Nina says
same town, different neighborhood, closer to my work! yay, i can now wake up at 545 instead of 515 am! 😀
he is an outdoor soul, but im so proud that he doesnt leave our back porch at all. our current neighborhood has a lot of outdoor/stray cats and they move from one house to the other (wherever the food is) … he doesnt do that anymore! 🙂

GURL I worked as a telemarketer too, and it sucked! I sold newspapers:

LOLOL!
The only good thing about the job was that I learned how to get really comfortable doing phone sales.
Anywho, ice cream cake, yum! What flavor?
Anne says
Traditional Dairy Queen flavor, vanilla and then fudge with cookie crumble followed by a layer of chocolate. Only 7.5 more hours to go until I can eat a slice!
Karen says
Holy crap that sounds good. I went kinda crazy eating fro-yo over the weekend so I’m on a no ice cream/fro-yo ban until the end of the week. I’m gonna have to live vicariously through you!
Phyrra says

I got married on Halloween, too!

Hi Tiffany!
So glad you checked in. I was actually gonna email you ’cause I hadn’t heard from you in awhile and was getting worried (silly me).
How are things with you?
Tiffany says
Aww, you are too sweet! Things are turning up for me! I had a huge project at work due on sept 30th, so leading up to that I was working all the time, frustrated with work, and exhausted (from being preggers). But now things are looking good, the project is over, the weather here got suddenly cooler and it’s amazing, and I have the rest of the week off of work and don’t even know what to do with myself!
How are things on your end? Is the weather pretty out there?
Karen says
I’m happy to hear things are getting better. 🙂 Can I just say I’m so excited for you about le baby? When is the due date again?
Things on this end have been good… it was crazy last week from all the traveling, but I’m finally starting to recover from the jet lag, thank gawd!
Tiffany says
Thanks, K!! April 3rd!
yah, I love traveling, but there is something great about being back home sweet home!
Amber says
Before I dive into my work? The work day’s half over here — and thank goodness! 😀
1. Mood: Chipper
2. If you could redesign one room at home, which would it be, and what would you do? Master bedroom. We’ve lived here TWO years and have no bedroom furniture, but we’re supposed to get some tomorrow! I’m hoping to find a few suitable art pieces so it won’t just be generic once we get the furniture in.
3. Worst job you ever had? I haven’t had a bad job that I can think of, but I did have a bad boss. He was just jerky and made me feel awful. But he gave me awesome reviews.
4. Your favorite meal of the day? I like dinnertime, but I prefer breakfast foods. And dessert!
5. Last thing that made you laugh? An email from my husband.
6. First thing you do each morning? Jump out of bed and get ready to go to the gym. (I’m not a morning person, I’m just well trained.)

9. Favorite upcoming holiday? Halloween, of course! We love Halloween so much that we got married that day. My birthday is the day after!
10. Weekly goals: Get the bedroom organized and pretty once the furniture arrives!
Karen says
So psyched to hear about your bedroom furniture! What does it look like?
I’m currently looking for a bed… I’ve found a lot of stuff I like, but nothing I love, sigh.
Amber says
We both love big, heavy sleigh beds and we were looking at Restoration Hardware’s Marston bed, but since we are hoping to move in just a few years we decided to put that off and buy something inexpensive that we can resell.
We are getting the bed, nightstands, and large dresser from this set:
http://www.roomstogo.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=showRoom&roo_id=7190
Karen says
I love sleigh beds too, but you’re right…they’re such a pain to move. I don’t think we could even get one up our stairwell (it’s quite narrow).
Anywho, that set is really cute. I can see it meshing well with a lot of different colors!

My room! I’d love to redesign where I spend most of my time in 😛 Though I am currently still happy with it since I designed it in the first place.
3. Worst job you ever had?
I wouldn’t say my previous part-time job (Still a student!) as a salesperson at a gaming store (That sells games and consoles, the works) was the worst job ever, but it sure did tire me out and made me appreciate time to myself even more!

Really really really laughed: A hilarious conversation with my friends in class about bionic body parts last week.

Switch off my air-con, have a little lie-in to warm myself up then drag myself up.

Otherwise, I just want to relax!

2. If you could redesign one room at home, which would it be, and what would you do? My kitchen because I love fancy kitchens and ours is pretty outdated!
3. Worst job you ever had? At this clothing store where they sold a bunch of overpriced clothes and all the people who worked there were really competitive for sales.

Toni says
1. Mood: Happy that I’m getting over my bronchitis!
2. If you could redesign one room at home, which would it be, and what would you do? The master bedroom. It has become the catch-all for outgrown clothes, old toys, laundry, etc. We’re planning on re-doing the master bedroom over the next couple of months. I want to paint it a light buttery yellow. For furnishings, we’re going to get dark colored chests for nightstands, traditional lamps with chrome bases, all white sheets and comforter/duvet, white curtains, and a pair of wing chairs for the sitting area. I want to accent with blues (kind of French Country feel, but not too rustic)
3. Worst job you ever had? When the restaurant I worked for changed names and managers. The new manager didn’t like any of us who had worked under the old manager and he made it hard to work for him.

Karen says
You do the same, Toni!
Rengirl says
1. Mood: So far… bored. I’m in between projects at work so I’m kind of stuck in limbo this morning.
2. Redesign one room: The master bathroom – no question about it! I’d expand it into the backyard so that I could fit a dual sink and a bigger tub (the kind with jets built in).
3. Worst job: I was hired to do graphic/web design for this educational materials firm and my boss was this dude that was very picky but terrible with words. I would have to guess what he wanted based on his “feelings” and when I was wrong he would get quite irate. I left after a week.
4. Fave meal: breakfast. I really love breakfast foods.
5. Last thing that made you laugh: My daughter (4 years old) said, “Leila is a stoner!” Leila is my other daughter, 2 years old, and obviously not a stoner.
6. First thing you do each morning? Unlock the door and let the baby into our bedroom and go back to sleep. She wakes up before anyone else and starts banging on the door to be let in. We call it her Gestapo knock.
7. Your favorite pair of shoes? My flip-flops. I wear them everywhere.
8. Today’s outfit? Jeans, turquoise polo and olive sweater. Yes it kind of clashes – I grabbed the sweater at the last second when I noticed the weather was going to be a bit wet this morning.
9. Favorite upcoming holiday? Thanksgiving. I’m a food lover.

Karen says

j.j. says
1. Mood: Relaxed. Gorgeous sunny day – almost 70.
2. If you could redesign one room at home, which would it be, and what would you do? My den. Ancient (10 yr+) sofa/loveseat combo with dated pattern. Can’t decide what to hang on the walls and I’ve lived here over 2 years.
3. Worst job you ever had? HS intern at a county government office.
4. Your favorite meal of the day? Dinner – usually experiment with new dishes the most at this meal.
5. Last thing that made you laugh? I cleaned my bedroom and moved the dog’s bed from one corner to another to get it more out of the way. This apparently did not go over well with her. When settling in for the night, she headed to her old corner and not finding her pillow there, the dog started this stuttering whining. Like a temper tantrum a 3 year would have. Then she blew a snort at me and walked out of the room. Just sat there and laughed.
6. First thing you do each morning? Let the dog out and switch on the coffee.
7. Your favorite pair of shoes? Any kind of ballet flats. Very partial to a pair of purple suede ones for fall.
8. Today’s outfit? Yoga pants and a tshirt.
9. Favorite upcoming holiday? Christmas. Love the smells, lights, decorations, and hominess of it.
10. Weekly goals: Need to steam the floors. Taking out sweaters and washing any that smell off after storage. Weather proofing shoes. Then I’m going to tackle my closet – reorganize, pull old clothes/shoes, etc – declutter.
Hope you have a great week!
Karen says
You have a great week too, J.J.!
Lisa says
1. Mood: very tired – couldn’t fall asleep last night! But besides that, pretty chipper
2. If you could redesign one room at home, which would it be, and what would you do? The living room isn’t really coherent in terms of decorating, so I’d give it an update.
