This is going to be random
I don't really have anything to discuss, but I am procrastinating so here we are.
Lee's company is stressing him out. Poor guy. He is a worry-wart (where in the world did that name originate?). But he is, about everything. Usually I give him a hard time because I'm not a worry-wart. Basically, his company got a new CEO earlier this year, out of nowhere, and then 2 high-up people quit. Everyone there kind of started freaking out because it looked like the new guy was cleaning house. Apparently, he did not force them to leave, nor did he want them to leave. They left on their own and no one really knows why, except that they were both close to retirement. Then, today the company gets this email saying that they are consolidating 2 groups in an effort to streamline things. Lee just happens to be in one of those 2 groups. That's all the email said. Nothing about letting anyone go or anything, but isn't that what was meant by 'streamlining'? Personally, I think that's crappy of them to send out that email and basically freak everyone out by not saying if they are going to let anyone go. There is obviously a plan there and someone knows if they plan on firing anyone. It is just common decency that if you were planning on doing that and knew in advance, which they obviously would, then at least let everyone know in case they need to start looking for a new job. Gah. I am so not a worrier but that even has me thinking.
My biological clock is ticking. I have never said that ever before. I have always really wanted kids, but it's getting worse, and I didn't think that was possible :) It's probably because lots of people I know are having babies right now and I'm a little jealous that I haven't started my family yet. It's probably also multiplied by the fact that we have a plan for having children, and the first is (God willing) coming within a year or so after the wedding and I get anxious about it, sort of like looking forward to Christmas day when you were little :) Our "September 2010 baby" is pretty common knowledge in our circle of family and friends, lol. Sometimes I think I want tons of kids, but then sometimes I think about how fun it would be to have just one be really close. I'm mostly talking about a girl here, I'll admit it. And then sometimes I think about how expensive kids are and then just one sounds even better! haha. We are having more than one! A boy for Lee and a girl for me and then hopefully a third but we'll see. :)
We are 3 for 3 on the making dinner every night plan! Only one of those has been a workday, so I hope it continues. My real estate class starts in 2 weeks though, and I'm trying to figure out how that's going to work. As it stands right now, I work until 430, workout until 515, go tan, go home, shower and then make dinner. But the class is M-Th 6-9. Logistically, I could just do everything but make dinner and force Lee to fend for himself. But I don't want to do that. I might try and push the workout up to the morning, but I am not good at getting up early, and by my calculations I would have to get here at 6am to work out and still get up to the office on time. That doesn't sound very promising. The bonus to that is that there is a spin class in the mornings that I could go to, and it's only in the a.m. so I never get to go. I will have to talk to Lee about all of this.
Oh, so Lee's mom and her friend are coming up this weekend to shop for mother of the bride / groom dresses with me and my mom. I am also forcing Mary to come because I would murder someone if I was alone with them. I am about as excited as the girl who fell into that box of needles in one of the Saw movies. I am excited to find them pretty dresses that are acceptable and appropriate and that I approve of. I should just be thankful that Lee's mom wants to make sure that she gets something I approve of. Yes, that is what I should do, but then I wouldn't be me so I will bitch about it. First of all, there are going to be 5 of us which is an awkward number for one car. I don't want to get stuck having to talk to anyone by myself so I will make everyone squeeze into my car. Lee's mom is getting up at the butt crack of dawn to drive 3 hours to get to Tulsa around 10am. Damnit, Mary and I were going to have mimosas at Stonehorse to dull the pain of the day. But we can't do that because Stonehorse doesn't open until 11. Then Lee warned me that his mom will get tired pretty quickly. What?! She is a WOMAN! No WOMAN gets tired of shopping! But maybe that won't even be an issue because on top of everything else, we're talking about Tulsa, people. There are not exactly a plethora of amazing places to shop, especially for women of a certain age. I have a list of maybe 4 places, and that's stretching it. I feel like the day is going to be just like a scene from Christmas Vacation or some other show with equally dysfunctional family members. We'd better freaking find something for both mothers because I will not do this another time.
Okay, well I have successfully procrastinated the remainder of my work day away, so I will shut up. You're welcome :)
