 You have no idea how annoyed I am to not have a working remote

I got these for Christmas in 2012 (after I gained ~15 lbs) and they never fit.

I love this dress and wish I had more occasion to wear it.

I love this shirt + cardigan combo. The shirt has a good neckline for nursing and I feel more put together.

8.18 Outfit

Dave and I went out for an anniversary brunch.  I took the pictures at a bad time of day so even though I tried many different spots, I don't like any.

This is not a maternity dress. I enjoyed wearing high heels.

We woke up and were just relaxing in bed. We were talking about how the packers were supposed to call the day before to tell us what time they were coming. Nobody ever called. I had nightmares that they wouldn't even show up.  Dave joked that they were probably on the porch right then.  A few minutes later I got up to walk to my craft room and saw people on the porch! I hurried up and put on a hoodie and went and answered the door. The packers were there. There were two, a male and a female, and they did a little tour of the house to see what was going and what wasn't.

Just as they were showing up, my parents were showing up.  Originally we were told not to pack anything up at all. We were told that even if something is in our own box they will repack it.   We discussed this with the packers later and they said they just list things as owner packed boxes.  We had a ton of things thrown in boxes and hidden in the basement but not packed for real. (Later we would learn that we should have just taken it all out of our boxes to be properly packed so things weren't damaged.)

The packers said it is an owner packed box but that nothing in the owner packed boxes is insured.  Nothing makes sense.  They made a big deal about the original TV boxes and original game system boxes and how they wouldn't pack anything in those. Well well well that meant we were packing that up and the TVs. I was riled up because if we would have known that, we could have done some things the day before.  The moving coordinator specifically warned us not to pack anything at all.  I hate the contradictions.

Since we had to pack up the stuff that goes in the original boxes, my mom helped with that.  She did all the gaming systems in the family room.  I got a box to put the cable box in.  We didn't want them accidentally packing that.  Poly got in the box so I had to wait to put the cable box in it.

I had to leave to go to the NVision lunch.  Dave could have gone but we didn't want to leave the packers there alone.  I was getting an award.  I asked if I was able to go even though I quit working and they said yes. I got there and talked a little to people but I had to leave immediately after to get lunch and get home for Dave. I wished I would have had more time to talk to everyone.  My manager went to see me get my award.

After the lunch someone asked the photographer if he was going to take a group photo and he said no. Well we decided to take one and I we used my camera.  I'm glad we have it.  That group photo even went in a newsletter at work. I guess the real photographer should have gotten it.  It's funny they didn't even ask my permission to use it or anything.

Poly was tired from all the commotion and all of her toys and places to go were being taken away so she napped on a chair. She did like to explore all the boxes.

At one point Dave went out to buy more luggage (even though he came home empty handed) and I mowed the lawn.  The mower had to be packed w/o gas in it and our lawn kind of needed to be mowed. I was just going to mow until the mower ran out of gas but I ended up doing the entire lawn. A little gas goes a long way.

Originally the packers said they'd be done early afternoon. Then later they said 5pm.  We had to pick up our rental car by 6.  I made dinner plans with coworkers for 6pm. Well around 4:45 they told us how they would go long and we needed to get the rental car before the place closed.  Dave was not happy about that.  Dinner was right by the rental car place to be convenient for us.  Well the later it got the later I was to MY OWN dinner.  Finally I suggested that I leave and Dave join us after they are done.  I thought of that the entire time but I didn't want to ditch Dave since he had already missed out on lunch.  I had texted everyone saying I'd be late so some knew to get there 20 min late or so. I ended up being over an hour late.  Boy was I mad.  Dave got there over 1.5 hours late.  At least I ordered his food so that was there.  His food actually arrived prior to him.   I was so upset to be late to my dinner.  I felt like even though everyone waited to order they ate and left because they already killed an hour sitting there before I arrived.   It was really nice getting to talk to some people again.  I know I had a going away dinner previously but you can never have enough and some different people came this time.  I did send out the invites via email at the last minute and didn't have everyone's personal email addresses so I didn't even get everyone. Ten people were there total. I was surprised how many people made it out.

After dinner, 4 of us went for frozen yogurt. It was Dave's idea and he said who to ask.  He doesn't like huge groups so I let it go with 4 of us. One of them said they felt special being invited to the after party. Ha. I never thought of it that way.

After we got home, we were exhausted.

Dave got rid of his car so now we just had the rental.  We knew the movers were showing up at 9am.  We knew we'd need to shower in the morning.  We had our bedding and towels but not much else going on.  We didn't have wireless since all that was packed up.  At least we had 3G on our phones.

I don't have any pictures of my first outfit.

My second outfit was for the NVision lunch.

My third outfit was for doing work around the house. 

Oh I guess I had another outfit - my lawn mowing outfit.

Shirt and shorts: F21, Shoes: Famous Footwear

Dress: Dress Barn, Cardigan: Kohl's, Necklace: Sears, Shoes: Famous Footwear

I wore the same dress as in the photo that would be on the powerpoint presentation. I did that on purpose to see if anyone would notice and a few did.

At one point I looked in the mirror. I was confused. Then I realized I forgot what my face looks like with makeup on. 

5.15

Cardigan: NY&Co.
Dress: Dress Barn
Shoes: Kohl's (Mudd)
Earrings: Target

I didn't belt my cardigan. Aren't you proud of the variety?

So far I've worn this dress 3 times and I have owned it about a month.

I was at work for a long time but got very little work done.
I had a 2 hour breakfast to award a scholarship winner. After lunch I had an NA-YGN meeting. Following that I had another one. All of those are not considered work things and all were on the same day. Between all that everyone was coming to my desk to talk to me about leaving work.  Apparently everyone is really shocked so they come talk to me about it.

I set up a future time email to people at work so they heard it from me that I was leaving and heard why. It's funny that once I sent that then nobody came to talk to me. Yet in the email I told them to make sure they said bye.

I ran with Jen after work around the loop at work. I'm really good at not even looking at my data anymore. I haven't documented my data all month. At least it is all on my Garmin so I can go back and look to fill out my workout goals and to fill out my running excel file.

I picked up Moe's for dinner.

After dinner I started applying for jobs. Well after we finished watching the TV show that we were watching during dinner.  It took a couple hours and I already had the links saved. Some sights just want so much information right away.

I of course played Solitaire in bed. I cover my head with the covers so the light doesn't wake Dave up. I'm too accommodating.

5.4

Cardigan and Shoes: Kohl's
Dress: Dress Barn (I think. This is my newest dress and I am not even sure it was there. It was at Pittsburgh Mills Mall)

I got to work early.
I went to Aviva for lunch and got a meatball panini.
I went back to work. I got stuck at work. Dave wanted to go for a walk but I just couldn't get out of work. Then finally I left work. I got home and ate leftover meatball panini. I ate it cold dipped in sauce. I don't dip things in sauce ever. I ate meatballs for the first time a month or so ago at Aviva.   Then I sat on the chair to finish watching the show we started while eating dinner. I mostly fell asleep.
I called my mom after it was over.  We talked for awhile.

We could near the neighbors base. Dave wanted to go sit on the patio and watch them. So we did. We heard Erica yelling at Chris about watering. It was funny. The yelling was right before I got outside but Dave was already out there. It was a beautiful temperature so I suggested going for a ride. Then we went for a ride and to Target. I finally bought the heel liners so my foot can stop flopping out of my new purple shoes.

Then I went to watch Rachel Maddow and fell asleep.

4.10 - Polka dots

Shoes: JCP
Dress: Dress Barn (purchased 4/1/12 for $40)
Cardigan: Express
Necklace: Sears
Belt: Kohl's
I finally got around to wearing my new dress. When I bought it they put it in a bag and the hanger came out the top so then that bag was in my closet and I kept forgetting about it. I love the material on this dress. I like that it doesn't have a zipper. It was very comfortable. It is probably just as comfortable as pajamas.

Before work I sat down on the edge of the bed and Poly came over to me and sat on me. I was basically forced to sit there and pet her for a little and then leave for work alter.

I marked all my emails as read at work. That almost gave me a heart attack. I know I had over 100 unread ones.  I happened to be telling someone about this and they asked if I had a graph of it. But they were just joking. My answer was yes.  I quickly tried to go through all the emails and see what I thought I didn't take care of.  I probably missed something though.

Dave went to the gym after work and I was still at work. After work he was home and said he wanted to shower but Poly was on him so he couldn't (top right picture). That was a funny text I got from him.  I like when he updates me on Poly's whereabouts when he's home and I'm not.
I mainly played Solitaire on my iPad after work. I just got too addicted.  I should have never listened to Dave and downloaded some games.
