Just…no.

This week, you guys?  Just…no.  A big fat no.

1. Tuesday night/Wednesday morning I grabbed my pillows in a huff and went to the couch because dear husband was snoring his brains out.  So I kind of knew what was coming Wednesday morning.  I run into the bedroom realizing we both overslept.  He opens his eyes and mutters he doesn’t feel well.  Understatement of the century there, folks.  Kid had the throw ups all day.  Yay.  So when I was struck down with the throw ups on Thursday, I couldn’t say I was surprised.  But to wake up this morning to find that BAILEY (our dog) now has the throw ups?  Please.  Just.  No.  No no.

2. Charter Communications.  Leave me alone.  Your service sucks.  I spent all day on the phone with you yesterday because my internet has gone down for the billionth time in the last 9 months (all while dealing with the throw ups) and then you have the NERVE to call me at 9PM last night and 8AM this morning trying to get me to sign up for TV service.  Uh, yeah?  Because you’re doing such an outstanding job with my internet service OF COURSE I want to sign up for others from you.  I might have been a little rude to the sales rep.  And I’m not even a little sorry.  You suck.

3. On a happier note, I actually read a book in the last week.  I don’t know what’s happened to me but forcing myself to sit down and read the last few weeks has seemed like torture.  But once I was doing it, I was happy.  I read The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks (finally–I’ve had it forever).  It was cute.  I immediately downloaded the movie on our demand to watch in bed last night but turned it off halfway through.  I’m just not a fan of movies that are hardly true to the book at all.  As a writer, I just find that to be a huge slap in the face.  I get that things have to be different for cinematic reasons–but changing SO MUCH?  It’s not even the same story.  Plus, I just couldn’t buy Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling as a couple.  He’s younger than her in real life and looks young even for his age.  And I think she looks old for her age.  I just couldn’t buy it.  So off it went.

4. If you like unique Christmas music–go check out Dave Barnes’s Christmas Album.  You won’t be disappointed.  It’s been my favorite for the last few years.  Here’s one of my favorite songs!  This video is just too cute–and I might love JLH.

5.  Confession: I’ve always kind of hated Essie polish.  I was disappointed in the formula (watery and streaky) the first few polishes I purchased from them years ago.  Between their fall and winter collection this year, there were a few colors I just couldn’t say no to.  And I’m glad I decided to give them another try.  They seem to have reformulated!

I added the gold little hearts down the side of the ring finger because I have nail polish ADD 😉

Thank God it’s Friday.  I’m thinking I’ll take B for a walk then tackle all of the laundry and clean out the fridge.  I know.  Exciting things happening here.
