Good Morning

This morning, on the way to work, I heard Funky Cold Medina on the radio on the way to work and it made me happy.

What is making you happy today?

Nothing, not even the fact that I'm having drinks with a friend I haven't seen in like, four years.

I fucking hate today.

:( I wish I could go get you coffee and cheer you up!

[identity profile] avecvu.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I have coffee. And Excedrin Migraine. And today is free cone day at Ben and Jerry's but I don't know if I'm partaking.

I'm that bitchy today.

You better partake! It is free cone day!

Plus you need to get one for me. I don't like ice cream but I wish I did. :)

[identity profile] avecvu.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I initially had plans to go twice: once before having drinks with Brian and once on my way home. If there's one thing Boston has no shortage of it's Ben('s) and Jerry's.

I am not even sure we have one in Minneapolis. Anyways, you should get some.

I get that. I hated yesterday.

[identity profile] avecvu.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
On the other hand, I loved yesterday. But of course, a fantastic day cannot be followed up by another good day. It's the karmic law.

Ah, a little Tone Loc in the morning. Nothing like a '80s booster to make your day.

My day is made because my garage is down! We've been enjoying watching them tear it down.

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, it isn't something I would think "Oh, I want to hear Tone Loc" but I enjoyed hearing it.


Yay! Are you going to post pictures. I am excited to see it. When are they going to start building the new one?

[identity profile] jessikate.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I've been taking pictures and video! I'll post them when I get around to it, maybe this afternoon.

They should start building the new one ASAP. They said they could be done by Mother's Day, we'll see how it goes.

By mother's day? wow, that is fast!

[identity profile] inkedmama.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
the sun is shining, it's supposed to be almost 60* today & i'm wearing sandals.

also, one of my coworkers had her baby this morning!

YAY for nice weather and babies.

How is Paige holding up?

[identity profile] inkedmama.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
good so far! she's still up pretty high, so that's a good thing. she seems pretty content, so i'm hopeful she's gonna hold out for a couple more weeks. :)

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Good! I have a feeling you will have her when I am out of town. :)

[identity profile] inkedmama.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
i wouldn't be surprised. :( i hope you have access to a computer, although she's not going anywhere & i'm sure you'll get tired of seeing pictures of the kids! :D

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I love kid pictures!

I should have computer access. I am addicted. I am going to look for cute kid clothes too. :D

[identity profile] inkedmama.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
hopefully you'll be in the loop no matter where you trek!

i'm so hopeful she gets here soon...

*Red wine
*Feeling like I got a free pass out of my end-of-the-month work even though I actually did it all
*Schnitzel sandwiches again for dinner tonight
*Nice, cool weather
*The new Madonna album doesn't suck as much as I anticipated it would

I would be so happy to have the hard part of a job removed. I can't believe they wrote the site they way you were describing it in the first place.

I also heard that the Madonna album was good. Weird.

Why I'm happy?

Work is slow today. Given that I've been averaging 57 hours a week, slow is good.

Yay for slow days!!

dude. i love that song!

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It is a great song!

Well, I had to get my car fixed, so that sucked, but it was about $40 less than I was quoted, and I more-or-less got a free half-day off from work (I just have to work an extra hour here and there to make up for the four I missed), so no vacation time used!

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I do that too. It is so nice to have a job with flex time like that.

two words - doubleshot latte (I know doubleshot is technically two words but when the coffe guy is parked outside and the rain is lashing down you try to cut corners where you can to get back into the warm dry building, so I say it fast as if it were one word..I'm so time management-multifunctional-aliscious)
