When I finished my 10 mile run today, I was covered in dried salt from all the sweat. That's the first time that happened. It was disgusting, but strangely awesome.
1/3 of the pile done. The problem is that I'm adding to it by washing more clothes. I just need to get a maid service to do this for me. I hate laundry so much.
In other news, I'm watching LOTR, and I just heard, "One does not simply walk into Mordor." and I laughed. meme's have ruined my movie experience.

Last night our team played a private school for the first time in 60 years and on the private school's field. There was a religious invocation before the game. It was weird. I'm not sure how to navigate that since it would also be weird to tell them not to pray at their stadium or if the state would have a problem with it. Thoughts? Hilariously, the kids had a sign they would run with whenever we scored that said "Your tax dollars at work!" lol
I have the back to school crud. Those nasty children with their nasty germs...
We were going to go to the pool, but I got distracted picking up our downstairs in hopes that my hot neighbor would be coming over to help my husband carry in our new table. I wouldn't want him to think I'm a slob! Now it looks like it's going to rain, so no pool... maybe tomorrow though.

I picked up a cold just being in the school for less than an hour for kindergarten testing before school even started. I cannot get rid of it.
It's the first Saturday of football season which means I'm super productive. Carl will watch it all day and while I love it, I can't sit down to watch it, so I get a lot done.
We're having the big birthday bash here next weekend so I have to clean all the corners my cleaning lady hasn't been able to get into.
Some chick at the Phish show last night was totally trying to pick me and DH up. She told DH she'd call him daddy if we took her home.
I'm kind of mad you didn't take one for the team and do this. Have you no concern for CEP's love of good gossip and scandal?
I'm trying to decide whether to do the Dollar Shave Club. I know in my heart of hearts that I'm being ripped off my pharmacy razors, yet I'm skeptical that I'm going to get something decent for $1/month. I've also read that the owner of the company is a complete douchebag so I'm struggling to want to give him my stripper bills.
Over lunch we were discussing what to do this evening. I said "Same thing we do every night, Pinky?" and H looked at me like I was nuts. He has never seen Pinky and the Brain! I am rectifying this now.

I was racially profiled at Burger King yesterday lol. This woman kept trying to give me Caroline's order, and I kept telling her I wasn't Caroline, so she asked the cashier who Caroline was and she pointed at me even though I had told her 45 seconds earlier my (also very white) name, which isn't Caroline. We white ladies don't all look the same, ma'am.

My parents are away for the weekend so I'm at their house checking on the kitties and watching football.
Studying....I meant studying.....
My husband took both of the kids to a baseball game tonight so that I could have quiet time to write MY FIRST PAPER IN 12 YEARS.
Which is why I'm listening to Pretty Hate Machine on Youtube, and scouring the kitchen for edibles.
Lol! My "home alone" routine usually involves making a big pot of coffee, getting my books and computer arranged how I want them, quickly cleaning up the livingroom, and oh look Beetlejuice is on!
H is on a plane to Johannesburg and the kid is asleep but for some reason I'm moving all of our possessions downstairs so that our floors can be refinished. At least there is wine.
H gets back today after almost 9 months away. I should clean, but my house is 90. And i took a long walk in the middle of the day which zapped all energy i might have had.
I'm thinking of using a couple nearby acquaintances for their pool. I can invite myself over if i bring wine, right? (I'm joking. Mostly)

Our school policy is to tell our student athletes that they are more than welcome to pray along with the other school silently, but as a team we are all standing together in unison. So do it in your head or nothing at all.

That's awesome that he's coming home! I wouldn't worry about the cleaning.

Also with my hometown - there is a restaurant here that is beloved. We go there every time we're up here. Every time, DH asks me what to get. Each time I tell him the same thing. Each time he orders something different. Then tells me he doesn't see what people see in the place. Tonight, he took 2/3 of my suggestions. He admitted it was good.

I write from an incredibly rainy camping trip. It was beautiful yesterday when we were driving, started raining last night, misty rained all day, broke enough that we could eat super outside, and now it's really raining again. 25% chance of precipitation, my ass.
