Ellie Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 In a little bit, I'm heading out. I need tape for my poor toe, and food that can be cooked in either my Instant Pot or in the toaster oven, as I don't have access to everything in my kitchen yet. That is all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Matt's boss who we don't like (they're are two, we like the other) looked at his LinkedIn and saw that he's doing this second job. He sent boss who we do like, and was noticeably uncomfortable, to inform him that it was a conflict of interest and he is required to stop his second job. It's not a conflict of interest and they can't make him quit but butthead boss doesn't want anyone to have a second job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now represented by a literary agent. I had two offers, both from my top choices. Made it hard to choose! But now the hard part begins--getting my story ready to go on submission to editors at the big publishers. Very excited and nervous! Fantastic!!!

They've submitted a report to HR and HR will get back to him eventually with instructions on whether or not he has to quit. To put it lightly, HR is tired of bosses crap. It's a fight the man BOOYA!

prairiewindmomma Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I have the Magnolia Table cookbook (from the library) to read tonight. Apparently I am doing an advent of cookbooks because I have been reading one a day this month. Tomorrow is Baking but Dorie Greenspan and Friday is the Baking Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum. Last week I read bread making books. This week has been baking (cakes, pastries, etc.) I think next week I am going to focus on ethnic recipes. I went to a fabulous Indian restaurant yesterday and I have no idea what I ate. I just asked the waiter to bring me something good without coconut in it (cilantro dosa with some kind of filling made of beans and ???) with dipping sauces. One was a lentil soup, one was a cilantro paste kinda like hummus and one was sweet and watery and had tamarind. It was all vegan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Why is the scale on the floor?" "Because that's where it goes." "It's broken, it goes in the garbage." "Well, if you jiggle the top left foot back in place it still works." "And you neglected to tell me this because..?" "I don't know." ... "OK, so, if you glued it back in place would it work?" "Yes." "Could you please do that right now?" "I don't really fee-" "COULDYOUPLEASEDOTHATRIGHTNOW?" The scale is fixed.

prairiewindmomma Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Well, Magnolia Table is no longer on my buy list. Beautiful pictures—but she and I clearly very much like the same kinds of food as nearly all of her recipes are ones we already use. So far, I haven’t found a must-have cookbook from my lists this year. That’s probably a good thing for my budget, but I am hoping to find some winter recipe inspiration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Between the drive to dh's work and ds's cello lesson and dd's university, I have driven 7+ hours today. I took a 20 minute nap in the car during the cello lesson which really helped me get through the rest of the day. I had dinner with dd in the cafeteria because she had extra meal credits - they have a really nice salad bar. And I also had a bacon and spinach grilled sandwich and a large coffee. We got home and I already had my pj's on by the time I realized I left my phone in the car, so it's going to spend the night out there. Dd20 is happy to be done with chemistry "forever" (she hopes) and is super excited about taking Gross Anatomy in the January term. Dh is very sick but "can't possibly stay home from work tomorrow." We'll see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Good Morning. I have NOT completed Christmas shopping. We will probably finish quite a bit this weekend. I have to (gasp!) actually (pray for me) GO into a store in the next week. I know, the horror the horror! I'm hoping I can go super early in the morning or really late at night. Neither is ideal but I hate crowds. I hate shopping. I like to buy online. But I also hate to pay shipping, so if I can't buy it through Amazon or Target online, and it's available locally, I force myself to go into stores. Three classes, two tutoring sessions (one helping a cousin during dd's tkd), some light snow in the forecast and another day will be done. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gained nearly 15 pounds in a month but I'm back down by 5. For Christmas we have to get Alex's scooter, MIL's membership to a thing I don't understand, and something for FIL and my Dad. Big kids got scooters and SIL is skipping her phone bill which is totes boring but she mad broke. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
