I'm officially done with chicken. I gagged trying to eat it last night so no more. I have no idea how DH can eat so much chicken and not get sick of it. Gag.
It wouldn't be so bad but he only eats the same rotation of chicken. I'll just make him big batches of chicken on the weekends and then fix whatever yummy goodness I want during the week. Like lentil tacos or chicken parmesan or spaghetti! Pasta! Yay!
Also, those salted caramel cake pops at Starbucks are AMAZING! I have no self-control when it comes to those things.

i hate this week.
forgot my wallet monday forgot my wallet tuesday this morning my little dog peed on the floor, i didn't see it, slipped in, coffee went EVERYWHERE. little dog is also chewing her foot non-stop. the sound makes me want to puke. i put the cone on her, but she can't get up and down the stairs, so that means i have to carry her fat ass - once she gets down stairs she won't pee. I gave up & took it off her. Made a vet appt for tomorrow. I don't even want to know how much that is going to cost.
I broke a bottle of Frank's Red hot sauce all over our rug in the living room last night.
I think the rug is ruined. Our living room smells of hot sauce and it's nauseating. oh, it splattered so much that my cats had bits of hot sauce in their fur...
I'm jealous of shorty20's cupcake but I have ate tons of banana bread w/ cream cheese frosting on it. I had my first Crumb's bakery cupcake when I was in DC last weekend - I got the Cherry Blossom one - it was amazing.
I want to give up weighing myself - I hate the way the scale makes me feel but I'm scared by not monitoring myself, that I will gain - vicious cycle
H's home:travel ratio is now 5:19. I am at wit's end. All of the shit hits the fan when he leaves. All of it. From the dog puking everywhere (200 lb dog = massive ) to DD refusing to sleep to coyotes going after our ducks. I feel like a cross between Green Acres and Little House on the Prairie. I'm all "H, there are coyotes coming like 20 feet from our house wanting to chow down on the ducks." H is all "I would sleep on the back porch with a gun if I were you." I'm all . When hell freezes over.
ETA: Uh, that was a rant, not a random or a confession. Sorry. I feel really good to have gotten that off my chest though.

I'm feeling really down about my IVF cycle. Right now I'm going back and forth between wanting the nurse to hurry up and call me with my beta and get it over with already, and wanting her to never call me at all.
My wife is waiting to hear about a promotion she's up for and everyone is speculating that they'll announce tomorrow (they always announce on Thursdays), which would mean they have to inform the people who got it by today. So far nothing.
My wife is taking me out to dinner tonight at a nice place. It's a belated birthday dinner that we had to cancel because she was sick, and we're just now getting around to making up. Hopefully we'll be able to celebrate at least one of the things above. If not I have a feeling I'll be drinking heavily.

i am so over this week and it's only wednesday.
Do she have an injury or just an anxiety-ridden chew? My lab had major issues with licking her leg about 6 years ago. I think it was anxiety/stress related, as we had just moved to a new house, my H left to go to grad school, etc. It was about 6 months of a cone and bandaging and for some reason...she just stopped one day. Dogs are weird.
Sometimes I walk by my mailbox, open it, sort through the mail, and if it is nothing good (all bills and junk and coupon mailers etc.), I just stuff it back in there and let DH "get the mail" later.
Brit - just want to jump in & say that sounds rough. Coyotes are nasty, and I have enough trouble when our 70 lb. dog throws up.
This also reminds me -- our ducks & chicks showed up at the post office today. It's a chilly 40 & windy, but we've got them tucked in safely under heat lamps. Anyhow, I'm realizing how little I know about them and how unprepared I feel to care for 50+ little birds. At least H is excited & seems to know what he's doing.
And a confession of sorts... I'm seriously thinking about signing up for a late spring marathon. It's probably nuts, but I'm in great long run shape for me, and if I wait until fall or next spring I know I'll lose all kinds of fitness because I don't have an immediate goal. Summer is also a busy time for me & harder for training. It all seems to come back to time & money, so I'll see. And convincing my H. I know I really need to commit in the next few weeks.

GBCN ate my post! Let's try again...
I'm sure you guys will do great with them. Are you keeping them at your house as "pets" or at your farm? Ours were a little bit high maintenance at first, but they are pretty easy now that they are big enough to stay outside 24/7. When we had to pen them, we had to shovel out the bedding like every four seconds, which was not a super desirable job. I bet you have more sophisticated feeding and watering systems than we do, so that will probably make things easier for you. When they were penned, we watered them with one of those 5 gallon water dispensers. 5 gallons doesn't sound like much, but it was pretty awkward/heavy to carry from our hose back to the pen a few times per day. We still use a 5 gallon feed dispenser to suppliment what they forrage, but that doesn't feel like as big of a pain in the neck to me. H has been looking at some solar powered 55 gallon time release feed dispensers, but we haven't thrown down for one just yet. I bet your ducks and chicks are super cute right now!

My DH does this!!! Bugs the crap out of me! I call him Ralphie because that's what the little boy in A Christmas Story does.
I want to punch my coworker in the throat for no particular reason. He's just so effing annoying. Talking to him is like listening to Nickelback while being fornicated with a sandy dildo.
I'm running a 4 miler in 18 days and the vast majority of it will be up hill. It also goes over a bridge. A bridge I am terrified to drive over. I keep thinking "I should train by running hills more...OMGWHATAMIDOINGICANTRUNOVERTHAT" but I should train, right? Like I need to over come the fear of the bridge before the race even happens, right?
On a positive note we just booked our trip to Chicago for a wedding. It's not until Sept. but yay! Something to look forward to (and stress about how to pay for it and whatnot but whatevs)

Brit - we are honestly pretty low tech. :-) We aren't set up large scale at all for birds, and they are just at our house ( not at the farm). Well, they are not in the house, but they are in the garage.
They are sort of pets, but the goal is to raise them for meat. We will see how that goes...
We've got some big tubs with shavings and heat lamps and then just the little waterers and feeders you can buy at feed stores. They are stinky, but super cute. I'll have to blog photos when I get a chance.

the other day my husband was snacking on some trail mix that i bought from the bulk bins and told me it was cool that i "mixed the peanuts and m&ms together."
i didn't even know what to say but i never turn away credit.

I don't see an injury. i just see pink skin .. If i had to have her in a cone for more than a week, I'll cry.
gummybear, I am too lazy to drive the car to the back of the subdivision to get the mail so DH always gets it. Last Friday, he informed me he hadn't gotten the mail all week because he couldn't find his keys. When I came back from the race Sunday, he still hadn't found them so I asked him if he checked the mailbox. Yep, he left them in the mailbox all week. lol
I did not like the new Costco tanks, but I did pick up a couple at Walmart that are pretty awesome for $6. I also picked up a pair of the Danskin shorts. I haven't run in them yet, but they seem promising. If nothing else, they will work for strength training.
brit - I'm sorry your life is crazy, but I did get a chuckle at the idea of you sleeping on the porch waiting to take out a gange of coyotes.
We are going to Omaha for the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting and I am annoyed I didn't realize they added a 5k till after I booked out flights. Mr GT wanted me to try and reschedule our flights as his birthday gift, so I plan to call Delta at 12:01 AM to see if we can get on a later flight. If we can't get out flight rescheduled I'm sure Warren Buffet will end up giving out the awards.
I just have a rant. I know the medical center here is big and confusing, and I know that half the people there are either very old, or very sick, or both. But there is no.fucking.excuse. for the terrible driving there every day. And there is ABSOLUTELY no reason that it should take me 20 minutes to leave the parking garage every other day because someone is sitting at the exit trying to put a damn card in the damn slot. It makes me so ragey.
DH called me at 10:30 this morning and told me he was headed home to finish the rest of his work day at home, and that he wanted me to leave and take a few hours to myself.
OKAY H, FINE!!
So, I'm sitting on a patio eating Vietnamese salad rolls, in peace and quiet, with a trunk full of goodies to re-deco our entryway. Ahhhh I'm so glad his busy season is over - this is just what I needed.
brit-want me to come sit on your porch with a gun? I'm not sleeping that great anyways. You'd just have to provide the gun, and teach me how to use it. I let no critters mess with ducks.
Something possessed me to drag my ass to the gym for a 4 mile run this morning, yay! Except now I want to take a nap and not go to yoga this evening. On the upside, my CPR recert class got done waaay early so I'm home for the day. It's gorgeous outside and J's golfing so I've got the house to myself.
Just once....just once I want it to not rain on the weekend. We've had multiple consecutive weekends of rain. I am racing regardless! I don't care!!
Ditto this. Plus, on the days that it actually HAS been nice, it's been insanely windy, basically screwing up the day anyway. I am done, DONE, with this screwy weather.

Allergies? Our lab has them bad all the time, but worse this time of the year. We give her zyrteks.
