weekend review

I decided to be a copycat, Rhiannon.... and post my own weekend review.

So on Friday, we got to leave work early if everyone dressed up for Halloween. I put on my Sarah Palin wig, glasses, suit and campaign button and hit Target to pick up some candy before I got to the office. I brought Ryan's John McCain mask with me, and made my boss wear it to take a group picture. Patrick was Gilligan and just wore a shirt and hat from home.

Larry took us out to eat lunch at the Iguana Cafe...while we were there, he told us that unless a miracle happens and we get new business between now and Christmas...that he thinks he and I are going to be let go. He said do what I have to do and look for a new job, that I could go on interviews and not sneak around bc I need to look out for myself. So I was kind of sick over that the rest of the day...somehow I thought we had moved past that danger. I guess I'm never really in the loophole. I've been stressing out about this ALL WEEKEND! I don't want a new job!!!!!

I got to leave work at 3pm and take a nap at home. Or try to. I couldn't fall asleep and then Ryan came home and was banging around so I gave up and got out of bed. I was really excited to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters, so around 5pm I dressed up as a witch and cooked us basil chicken fettucine. I started getting annoyed bc Ryan was in the computer room playing his computer game. So we ate dinner and then as soon as we were done, he disappeared back into the computer room and started playing online poker! At that point I was past annoyed...and got angry. I asked him if he could just come hang out in the living room while I handed out candy because I was lonely and it wasn't as much fun if I was by myself. He said that he hates handing out candy and he already paid to enter some tournament. He got really defensive and mad and asked why I couldn't let him have his "down time." I got so upset that I went to the bedroom and ripped off my costume and tried not to start crying. He came in later and we got into a fight about it...I asked him why he couldn't just enjoy the holiday and spend time with me, and he said I was always nagging him like I was his mom to get off the computer. Finally I just yelled at him to go back into the computer room and play his games bc I couldn't take it anymore.

I started calling friends but nobody answered except my mom...who told me to suck it up and let him play his game. Which just made things worse.

Around 6:30, I handed out candy for an hour and then we had to get ready for the costume party at Daton and Abby's place in Edmond. I realllly didn't want to go. We got there, and thank goodness Wes, Jana, Josh, John and Savannah were there so I knew a lot of people. We drank and played this funny bean bag game outside, and played flip cup in the garage. People were chanting "Palin! Palin!" when it got to me, it was pretty funny. Ryan and I ended up winning "Best Couple" for our McCain and Palin costumes. At the end of the night I was still mildly annoyed at Ryan but played it off pretty well.

Saturday was SUPER boring. We were going to go to the game with Josh and Jana, who offered us free tickets in the non-student section...then Ryan changed his mind and said he needed to study. Blah. So I caught up on shows that I had TiVo'd and did chores around the house. Ryan started getting sick later that evening and started throwing up in the bathtub...he guessed he got food poisoning from a salad we had for lunch. He was sick all yesterday and even threw up in our bed! I finally HAD to get out of the house, so I went to the mall (BAD IDEA) and got new clothes from Express. But I needed them! I don't have any winter clothes that fit me since I've gotten so fat.

Speaking of that, I walked/jogged 3 miles yesterday. I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!! I was so disgusted with myself when I was trying on clothes that I cried. It's so easy to let myself go and not care.
