H is taking his test for staff sergeant today. He should have taken it at the beginning of the summer but they screwed something up in his paperwork. Hopefully he does well
D has her first dentist appointment today. I hope she doesn't freak out too badly.
I survived the dentist yesterday! It was my first filling and I was so damn nervous. I took an Ativan before I went in, and when I sat in the chair my whole body was shaking. I was so embarassed. I made her give me an extra shot of Novacaine. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the smell of the drill. That made me start to get panicky. I just took deep breaths and counted in my head. I'm just happy I didn't make a fool out of myself
thanks kevin arnold! Hey lets make dinner plans soon?
eddy what are you doing for workouts and how do you fit it into your schedule with the kids? I could do OK with running now but soon it will be dark after work, which complicates things since I wouldn't want to run with the stroller at night.
@missusbee So right now H and I get up in the morning and do Insanity three days a week. Then I try to get one quick run in one night during the week and a long run on Saturday. I know H bought me kettlebells for my bday on Saturday so I intend to start adding those in after my runs.
But yes the darkness is really going to put a damper on things.
so, last night my kid said "i don't want baby brother to come. i don't want him to live here." and i played it off all cool, but i wanted to crumple up and cry. omigaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i'm ruining her LIFE. andplusalso, even though she's totally normal at school (we checked) at home she won't eat anything, complains about all the food (even food she likes that we know she likes that she ate like 24 hours earlier), and is doing this cutesy snarky sassy defiant thing the whole damn time we're together, which fills me with rage and pathos.
false alarm - I'm not blocked!! But I do have to get some work done.
DH is taking the dialect quiz, and keeps asking me "what word do I use for this? For that?" I told him I'm going to end up skewing his results because I'll most likely answer with what I say.

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"

omg I could have written this exactly. "how do I say aunt?" "have you ever heard me say caramel?"
H and I have been together seven years today. On one hand, it feels like much longer. On the other, it feels like hardly any time at all has passed.
I had completely bizarre-o dreams last night, including one where my cousin was leaving for four years in Morocco via a random closet inside of a church (?), and I was trying to tell her I'd miss her, but all she wanted me to tell her was how to operate a telescope I'd given her. Bizarre-o.
Don't worry about L. She'll be ok. It's the age. She'll love her baby brother when he gets here.
see this is funny because I feel like cville has been pregnant forevvveerrrrrrr
eddy that is a great routine! and mad credit for working out with your husband. I could never. lol. Do you like insanity? I will probably keep running at night as long as I can, go weekend warrior, and then once the time change happens I will join the Y. I'm doing a cheapie membership to a place near my office so I can lift on lunch.
I interviewed for a job friday and it isn't going to be something that will work with my family which bums me out. I am so ready to get the F out of dodge...
Douchecanoe co worker that started all the bs with me a few weeks back is out of the office today and tomorrow. I can't explain how wonderful and happy that makes me feel

I am going to drive this car off a boat launch into the river. It's having intermittent electrical issues, so obviously even though it died yesterday in the dealer's lot, they found nothing wrong with it. Right. Ok. So now what?
I hate this car and I really wish we could have waited before buying it.
We're watching my sister's dog this week, and it cracks me up to see how much bigger our 8 pound dog is. I think she's really enjoying having a playmate all the time.
silva- I had C25K Free by Zen labs. I liked it because you could play your music through it and it told you when to run and walk
Cool. Thanks. DO you have the free version or the paid one?
Just the free one. I'm not sure if the paid one has that many extras. The free even keeps track of when you run. It has a little box for every workout, and it checks the box when you're done.
I'm about 98% decided that I'm NOT going to my graduation ceremony in December. I think I was romanticizing the idea because I won't know a single person there and I'm sure Indiana will be freezing ass cold in December. I'd rather use the money that'd I'd have to spend to go see my sister or go to Vegas (or both).

We have plans to stop in and visit H's friends in another city on Saturday en route to Vegas. They are always asking us to come and seemed really excited about it. We talked to them again last night to confirm and apparently they are going to some beer festival all day and plan to be super trashed by the time we get there. I'm really disappointed about it. I thought we'd have a nice visit, but now I'm just picturing them not showing up on time and then being loud and obnoxious. I guess I'm old and lame now. I've also realized that all of my problems are first world problems and I should just stop whining and be thrilled with my life.
I stopped to get breakfast this morning and they were out of Mt. Dew. That was the whole reason I stopped where I stopped...so I could get a giant ass Mt. Dew. Instead I had to settle for Pepsi. But they gave it to me free since they were out of Mt. Dew so yay for free Pepsi?
I really, really, really need like a week off instead of just a day here and a day there. I have no motivation and don't want to come to work ever. I hate when I feel like that because I love my job, but man, I'm so tired of being the only one who cares. On the other hand, I have a shit ton of work to do since I'm doing the work of two people right now and have no business taking a week off.
My friend's sister was hit by a drunk driver on Sunday night while she was riding home on her bike. It was a hit and run but the guy was caught because he hit a parked car in a parking lot right after he hit her. My heart is just aching for her family right now. I know her brother, her cousins, her SIL just went up to visit her this past weekend and they hung out....a day before the accident. They're all at her bedside right now. This couldn't have happened to a more sweeter person. She's only 20 years old and had her whole future ahead of her.
This is what I opened up on my phone yesterday morning.
"The neurologist has ruled she is brain dead. They are going to take her off life support."
"I think they are just keeping her on life support until her grandparents from the east coast can come say goodbye."
This is the second family that I know that has lost loved one thanks to stupid pieces of shit who drink and then get behind the wheel. I'm not asking for sympathy over this, I'm just hoping that you're able to hug someone in your family today and please, never drink and drive.
