Friday Five (from today on snap chat)
1. “We’re at a fork in the road Melissa.” Words you NEVER want to hear from a doctor, even your dentist! He said I could either have a root canal or pull the offending tooth. I quickly agreed to the root canal and set it up for the next appointment—in TWO weeks. I had to call to change the antibiotic and they gave me more pain pills as I can’t seem to get a handle on the pain from the abscess right now. SIGH.
2. I have a first date with a new guy Saturday night. I have this feeling that there is a line that divides men at this age (early to mid 30s). I’m not sure where it is, but at some point it appears they just want to text you instead of actually talking to you on the phone. Then they hit some magical age where they’d actually rather just talk to you on the phone than text you AT ALL. And that guy? I REALLY LIKE him! Saturday night guy and I talked for an hour on Monday and then he asked me out for Saturday, saying he would touch base later this week to finalize plans, but he wanted to get penciled in for my weekend. He called last night to decide on a time and place. He said he would call today and make reservations just in case it was busy due to Valentine’s Day weekend. WHAT?!?! I’m a fan already. He’s 36, has a good job, seems like a good man, and he’s tall—6’4”!! As a tall girl (5’9”) I LOVE that!
3. Nice guy is still texting. He’s confused and doesn’t know what to do about his ex. He thinks I’m “Freaking amazing” and doesn’t know if he can trust her yet. So there’s that. He texted while I was out with the Firefighter. Who, despite saying he’s emotionally unavailable, acts like he is! We text and snap chat pretty much every day. I’m just going with it for now. I have yet to talk to him today—but I’m guessing I will hear from him at some point. Men. I also have a date with another guy on Monday. This dating around thing is kinda exhausting!
4. I’m supposed to go see “How to Be Single” with my girlfriends tonight. Every single one of them bailed on me. I really want to see it, and tonight may be the only time I can go so I think I’m taking myself to the movies tonight. I honestly don’t care if that makes me pathetic. I love going to the movies by myself!
5. Monday is President’s Day and therefore is a state holiday so I’m off. #blessed. Living the good life here people!
Have a great weekend friends!
YES. I’m operating that the things I buy won’t go away. So I’m paying off my bills and my family’s bills then I’m buying myself a house. I’m also paying for several vacations in advance and then I’m throwing a huge party for my friends and family. You better believe my Tumblr friends are coming to this party!!
Can we figure out a way to make this happen??
Love this one Corinne!
I love this question because I still watch this film today…It’s The Goonies! Classic movie and I can quote so much of it!
Thank you! You’re helping this afternoon go fast!
Yay!! Thank you! My dream is to some day write books. Whether I write something about my storied dating past (haha!) Or about my weight loss, and what it has taken to get and keep the weight off, I want to write something. I know I should be writing now, but honestly I think I’m afraid of failing so I haven’t put pen to paper…or fingers to keyboard! 🙂
Thanks for the question!
I am getting on this bandwagon.
Cos it’s Friday afternoon and I’m clock watching 😝
Same!! Ask me things 🙃
Me too!
Thursday Things
·I have a pretty massive toothache. I am fairly sure that my crown is coming off, which would explain why I can’t seem to get this pain under control. I go to the Dentist in about 3 hours. I can’t wait! Seriously, fix me dude.
·I took 2 of the leftover Tylenol #3 (with Codeine) that I have from the last time I had a tooth infection to try and get on top of the pain. Well, I STILL felt the effects of it about 13 hours later! I had a really tough time waking up and I felt out of it for much of the morning.
·That mirror is in my office area. Pretty much all of the women can see into it just fine…except for me. The struggle!
·I think about a lot of random stuff during the day when I’m just being quiet. One of those things is that they have female inmates do the cleaning here (I work in the State Office Building). And I was thinking about how different our lives are: their power to make their own decisions is gone. They have to wear terrible gray uniforms. Their jobs are simply to clean bathrooms and kitchen areas. They all appear to be about 2-3 days post shower. Whatever past choices they made in their lives to bring them here are their own. I just am glad that I haven’t made the same ones!
·Earlier this week I got a special Valentine from one of our office’s on the western side of the state. They sent it to me because they said that I was doing such a great job on the employee homepage and with the newsletter. I am doing a feature called “Employee Fun Facts” where people tell things they make or do in their spare time. I LOVE random facts and employees have embraced it! Made my day!
It’s Thursday. We can make it guys!
3 miles on the treadmill before 6:15am! I miss those days where I ran most mornings. I’m workng my way back to that. That means nearly 9k steps already this morning! Go me!
I have plans tonight, a dentist appointment tomorrow, plans with the girls Friday and a date Saturday night. Busy, busy week. I’m pretty sure I need one of my crowns replaced so that will be fun tomorrow. Sigh.
Oh yeah, and I need to fit 10 miles of runs in there somewhere too! I’m just super glad that my run is done for today.
Have a great hump day cats!
Have a good week friends!
“Valentine’s day. Bummer.”
