As I predicted, this week at work has been crazy go nuts university.
Tuesday, I worked a couple hours out of town at a trade show. It was pretty easy and I got to sit on my butt most of the day except for an impromptu hike uphill to find a place to tape a banner. That alone made my legs swell and hurt for the rest of the day. But I got some free chips and guacamole, so I didn’t complain.
Yesterday, work was crazy catching up on the day before (I hate missing a day and coming back to 10,000 emails). And my whole body felt like it was hit by a truck. So weird.
Today was the worst. We did our LAST (woohoo!) trade show for a while and it was a doozy. I couldn’t sit, so I had to stand for 5 hours. And get this. My growing uterus or something is hitting a nerve in my back causing my right outer thigh to go numb when I stand for more than 10 minutes. Then it starts burning. Numb and burny = not a good feeling. THEN my feet started swelling so bad I thought I’d die. But I got free pizza and ice cream, so I didn’t complain too much.
When I got back to the office, I made some popcorn for the staff (we rented a dumb popcorn machine for this show). As I’m making popcorn, I very slightly burn myself. I immediately go into pity party mode and start crying. Imagine me stuffing popcorn into bags and crying. By myself. I don’t know if there is more of a pathetic sight. I knew it was dumb but I couldn’t stop.
Stupid popcorn.
I put my big girl panties on eventually and wiped the sad, sad tears from my eyes and decided I’d worked enough today. When I got home and took off my socks, I was beholden with the most sexy sock lines from my very swollen ankles. It’s cankle town up in here. No, I will not post pictures.
This week wasn’t all bad. On my lunch break yesterday, I stopped by Other Mothers, which is a second hand baby store. It was amazing. I got a TON of stuff for $25. I even got a onesie from the John Lennon baby line, which was discontinued long ago. I’m a giant Beatles freak, so this was very exciting. Oh, and it was 69 cents.
It’s hard to tell from the pic, but there are 20 pieces here.
And, I think we got a baby name. I will share it later on when we are 100% sure. Meaning, when Chris is 100% sure. I’m pretty much there.
Yay for Fridays.

SEND ME SOME GUACAMOLE!!!! lol
Ok! It might be a little brownish by the time it makes it to you though.
True… I should probably just drag my butt to the store. I seriously can’t think about anything but eating guacamole. And I hear you on the cankles… Today was finally cool enough here for the swelling to subside!
You know what? Now I totally want guacamole again! haha
LOL
cankles be cruel bitches. I”m not even preggers and get them sometimes 😦 luckily, I’m not craving guacamole. lol
It’s a tough craving to have! So much work has to go into it. I can’t eat the pre-packaged stuff. So, I will just crave it until I can talk Chris into going to the store to buy me a bunch of avocados.
hahhaa! this one had me cracking up. i think if i were to ever be pregnant i would be VERY VERY miserable. i just don’t deal well with being physically drained all the time. also i can totally picture you crying and stuffing popcorn. excited to hear the name!
