The Wednesday Random Thread

A local Edward Jones office is putting on an 8 week financial class starting tonight.  I decided to go  after passing up on the last round of classes because I thought H was going to start a new job and I wasn't sure how that would affect my availability.  I'm both excited about it and a little nervous.  I've always handled my own finances pretty well, but had kind of adopted a "fly by the seat of my pants" mentality in the last couple of years and I'm afraid to sit down and really look at how bad it is...   BUT I think this is a really good step to regaining control of my financial situation instead of letting it control me. 

I'm excited about taking a class on money...  I am a nerd.

That is exciting Starries!

I bought some skin glue for the little cut I have in the corner of my mouth. It burns so badly when you put it on. I had Boyfriend put it on my lip last night before we fell asleep. He glued like, half of my mouth closed.

I ate a whole bag of circus animal cookies yesterday.

I read a news article about a man who got half swallowed by a hippo and then the hippo spit him out. I am now terrified of being eaten by a hippo.

Fashion school starts in less than two weeks, I am starting to freak out a little bit (isn't this sort of normal?!?!) It is making me feel like I am starting junior high again. What am I going to wear on the first day? What if no one likes me? What if I am shitty at school? What color should my nails be? I am going to be the nerdiest person in the history of fashion school (I have already read my my whole text book)? 

That sort of turned into a mini vent.

It's a great idea Starries!

They fixed my sink at work finally

DS #2's cast comes off tomorrow! YAY! DH & I are trying to decide if we want to keep it or not.

Mel, did you punch him just in case he was hinting that you talk too much?


I got caught in a monsoon this morning on my walk from my train to the office. I was not a happy kitten.

Tonight promises to be decent. I didn't make my roasted cauliflower last night so I am tonight. I'm going to make meat sauce and pasta for dinner. We'll have the cauliflower and maybe some pan roasted radishes. I also have a ton of green beans and a head of broccoli to create something with. I might make oven roasted green bean fries.

Odds are it will be pretty stinky.

Dixie, I did ask him with the other half of my mouth if he was trying to tell me something about talking. (Side note: did you know if you only open one side of your mouth you instantly sound like a redneck?!?)
He laughed and kissed me on my cheek and then snuggled me closer. That got super smushy and romantic all the sudden. Gross.

YAY for functional plumbing!!!  This would make me VERY happy!

Dixie: probably, but there is a natural cleanser that is safe for cast use--it'll clean it up and get it smelling better. But we're thinking we may want to hang on to it so he can see it when he's older. I had been thinking about it, but DH mentioned it over the weekend. The outreach program I am involved in sells stuffed animals that have been casted, so we could always buy him one of those and give it to him.

Slightly flameful: I am having MIL come in with me while his cast is removed, the brace is fitted, and for the meeting with the surgeon. I want her to hear from the doctor how important it is that DS wear his brace for the suggested amount of time every day--even if he fusses. She got all huffy the couple times she brought him to PT and he cried when the PT did stretches or anything with him. I want to make sure that is put to bed before he goes home tomorrow.

captainmel, in my experience, skin glue = super glue, and the crazy glue brand actually stings less than the skin glues that I've tried.

They just turned off the water for some reason in my apartment, I am here studying all day long and now I want to leave.

The mister made brownies last night and I am afraid they won't last the day with me.

I want to go to the beach tomorrow after the last final but I am not sure it will happen.

I've been sitting here, mindlessly munching on a package of goldfish crackers while alternately working and gbcn-ing. I just looked down and the bag is almost empty... This is why I don't bring food to work.

I'm tired. I've been invited out to a wine and cupcake night, two things I haven't been enjoying much of lately. I don't know how I can resist if I choose to attend, but both things make me feel so crappy. FWPs.

After being so tired yesterday, I had 2 glasses of red wine (1 with dinner, and 1 more for dessert) and I got some of the best sleep ever!   Sometimes you just have to give in. I'm a bad influence. 


Wine and cupcakes sound like a wonderful combination though!

It is my FAVORITE combo, but with the AD I'm on, I feel like crap for days after just one glass of wine and alcohol usually makes me sleep terribly. I have cut way back on sugar so when I do eat a sugar bomb, my digestive track is a complete disaster.

Not flameful, smart.
