Mindless Tuesday

Here, I can add to the drama.  Last night, a friend asked me to marry him,

Was this a nice surprise or not so much? I'm sorry about your nephew :(

Steph - sometimes life gives us nothing but a bunch of drama, but it doesn't last forever, so hang in there.

My poor DH has had to deal with some major drama at work lately and I want so badly to do more than just listen.

 Thanks.  He's technically my ex's nephew, but as far as I'm concerned, he's still family to me - he talks to me more than his uncle & that part of his family anyway.  His mom needs a swift punch in the nuts, if she had them.

As for the friend... I don't know.  Nothing wrong with him - he's smart, successful, kind, very attractive, loves animals (has a JRT & a pittie, plus two cats).  But.  It's one of those "Wait, what?" things.  I can't quantify it right now.

 Wow Paige!  I am so sorry to hear about your nephew.  I wouldn't even know how to respond to something like that.

Cathy, hope your DH gets past his work drama soon.  That must be so difficult.

Thanks for letting me blow of a little steam about the cr@p :)  

I sent my brother an email.  (Actually, I ran it past 2 other people first to make sure it was what I was going for).  I did not 'yell' I did not insult.  I just laid some ground rules for if there is going to be any future relationship.  We'll see how it goes.  My guess is that he will flip out again, but I had to give it a shot.

ETA: Julie I'm so sorry to hear about Sunshine.

Paige, whoa. That's a lot to deal with/comprehend.

Julie, I'm sorry to hear about Sunshine. It seemed like she had found such a good home!

I am hoping my boss sends me home early today, I'm thinking it should be a 4:00 day, or even better, 3:30 - it is still so nice outside!! Sunshine = me happy. On Thursday FH and I are going to meet a new trainer I found to talk about Timmy taking a beginner's agility class - I don't expect him to be good at it, but I think he will have a lot of fun with it. The trainer seemed a bit taken aback that he was a rottweiler though - so we will see how the meeting goes.

Jewlieee

I'm going to pick up sunny :( she snapped at the 10 year last night and this morning. They said that she is getting more and more nervous with each day. Damnit!

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that. As already said, it's better that it happened early on and before something worse happened. Still, it stinks!!

Here, I can add to the drama.  ..... and my pseudo nephew told me he just got out of a psych hospital he'd been in for 5 days after OD'ing on some Rx, & cutting himself up. 

Paige, I understand how hard this is on the loved ones.  My son not only has a problem with the drug and the drink, he's also a cutter.  It makes no sense to me, but if you need to vent privately, I'm a good empathizer (is that a word?).

 Yep Stacy that sounds pretty much the same.  I used to just the bs from him slide b/c I didn't want to 'rock the boat' or basically cause an argument.  But I've gotten to the point that I don't feel that way anymore.  So now I try to stand up for myself a little more and call him out when he's being a jerk.  (Well this time FH called him out on it, and he sure didn't like that)  I told him in my email, that the first thing that has to happen is that he needs to apologize.  He had no right or grounds to say the things he did, and most of them were strictly said to be hurtful.  So we might not be 'friends' again for quite a while b/c I'm not giving on that point.  I completely understand what you mean when you say you can't stand him getting away with that stuff.  I hope you can get through to your brother.  I don't have much hope that mine will respond in any sort of positive way.

((Hugs)) b/c I know how much it can hurt

Damn, Steph & Paige, I like drama, but that's a little much even for me!

I need the 2x4.  For the past 45 minutes, I have been argueing with another company's CFO, who can't provide me with his company's financial records because "I don't have them."  Ummmm dude, you're the CFO, if you don't have them then who in the #$%* does?  It wasn't until I wished him good luck in explaining to his board & shareholders why we had decided to end our relationship with his company that he miraculously "found" the paperwork that I needed.

Did I mention that I needed the 2x4?

 Just running in real quick with an idea I want to run by some people. I'm in a friend's wedding, and I'm thinking for bridal shower invitations, instead of regular traditional stuff, a picture of someone's dog, which I would love to be my friend's dog, on the front of the invitation holding a sign of some sort, like "you're invited." On the inside then would be all the info. If I can't get her dog, I know for sure Luke would do it, and I could easily bring Luke to the park where we are holding it and get a nice picture of him there with the sign on his neck, or hopefully holding it. Again, I'd love to have my friend's dog,  but I don't know that I can get him up to the park and back to her place without her catching on at all about it. I'm also thinking if I can get either of them with the flowers (hydrangeas) that would be really cool too, but I don't think they'll bloom early enough. Anyway, good idea, bad idea?

I think the shower invitations with the dog's picture on the front is a great idea. I'm a bit biased towards anything dog-related, but if you could actually use a picture of your friend's dog, that should be a huge hit.

Agreed!

Well today I started my day with a really crumpy old man, that was mad about his bill.....it has always been my fortee to talk people down from anger, today it was difficult as I really wanted to tell him "fine go to the competitor with my blessings."  I didnt...but I wanted to.

We have sun and warm temps today but tons of wind... ugh....wind makes me agitated, lol!

Hubby took daughter to Tulsa to see the surgeon today waiting to hear from them, hoping they are setting up a time to do the surgery.

Hugs to all those having drama today!  Good vibes to all those that need it.

 I have managed to accomplish about 2% of what I needed to accomplish thus far, sigh.

It is 74* and sunny - I want to have a nap in the sun, best not.

Julie so sorry to hear about Sunshine, pity the people really didn't get what you were telling them about her.

OK MUST work
