Sometimes I do such stupid embarrassing shit and I wonder if other people make these mistakes.
Example: last week I went to a new Chiro for a massage. Every other place I've ever been to has you lay down sandwiched between two sheets so you're always covered.
The girl showed me in and specifically instructed me to remove my shirt/bra and added "you can probably leave your pants on since I'll just be working on your neck and back." I was in work pants so I thought it would be more comfy to take them off and just get under the sheet in just underwear. WRONG. THERE WAS NO TOP SHEET. before I could abort the mission she was knocking on the door and I panicked and told her to come in. So my naked ass just laid flat on a table in nothing but too skimpy (and probably too small) underwear. Neither of us said a word.
I also realized after that for those who do remove their pants, she offers these overall scrub things so there is never any reason for anyone to be awaiting her in nothing but knickers.
I am basking in the joy of having advanced students/senior working for me. I have trained them for the last 3 years, and now I get to kick back and bask.
Should I pattern this dress? Nope, let a senior tackle it.
Should I drape this? Nope! Teachable moment!
This doesn't happen often. It's glorious.
Then they will all graduate on me. Then I will cry while I make my own damn patterns and hope another student who is interested in in learning this skill set comes along.

I miscarried in March and saved the fetus in a baggy and froze it. I had every intention of burying it under a tree at my dad's farm, but instead I bought a wind chime with an urn attached at the top (you can't tell that's what it is), and DH took baby up to be cremated today. In a week I will have the ashes back and will be able to hang up the wind chime.
I realize this is probably not normal, but I am having a hard time getting past this, and it's the only way I can think of to help me be at peace, at least a little bit.

I am so sorry for your loss. You should do whatever you need in order to grieve and feel at peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. Whatever helps you find peace is what is right. I firmly believe there is no "normal" in grieving.
Well, that was fast! This is the first time DH's had one of these that has been all clear!!! He's cleared to wait a whole year until his next one!!! Yay!!!
There is no news like good health. Mazel Tov! Hooray!!!!
I have had a craptastic day, two sick kids, one client who smoked Spice and totaled her car( and in previous years has had two suicide attempts) and one client who came out as a lesbian after 16 years of marriage, three years of therapy with me and two kids. Most of my client stuff is not as stressful--I need to maybe get the first client hospitalized and get the second client in as long as she needs to process what she wants to do.
I love chipotle. One of the guys at work is buying the office chipotle for lunch next week. At first every one was all, "why? What did you do this time?" He's just doing it to be nice, I guess?
I went to my nieces soccer game tonight. My mom was there and likes to cheer on all the girls who she knows the name for. She kept yelling "go Geneva!"
Her name is Genevieve. I was cracking up so much. "Psst, mom, that's not her name."
I just almost screwed up our banking situation for the first time in years. I had way too much money in checking thanks to last month's extra paycheck (biweekly checks but budget 2/month) and getting back a lot of escrow/insurance refunds from selling a house. So I just made a couple of big transfers to online savings (few day turnaround) and our investment account. I forgot to add up how much our CC bill + mortgage + beginning of month bills would be and have no buffer. Even cleaning out my save to spend account I was still coming up negative by 10/7 with paycheck due 10/9. Thankfully, I got 2 expense reimbursements in yesterday and today and I think we'll just barely coast in to payday on fumes. That's ridiculous considering our salaries vs expenses. I'm so pissed at myself. Obviously not as much as if we had really overdrafted, but still.

Expense reimbursements are the main reason DH and I keep an un-MM balance in our checking account. Reimbursements can take some time to get processed, and then into my hands, and finally into the account. It's pretty common for me to have to float the expenses from an expense report out of personal funds and then replace the personal funds with the reimbursement check funds...
For example, I went on a trip in August, and filed the expense report a couple days after getting home. I received the reimbursement check late last week. It would have taken longer if I wasn't visiting the office (at least overnight for shipping it to me). I now have one outstanding expense report for a trip earlier in September, and am on yet another expensed trip right now. I filed the report for the earlier in Sept. trip last week, and I will probably get a check for it in a couple weeks. I'll file the report from this current trip next week when I get home, and I might see a check before the end of October. Maybe. And these reports are all upwards of $3k each, so it's not small change we're talking about...
This used to frustrate the crap out of me. Now, I just accept it as normal. At least I get the CC points.

I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like a lovely way to remember your baby.
I'm a couple years behind, but I'm reading the Divergent triology and am totally sucked in some like teenager. This is sort of like when I read the Hunger Games for the first time in a weekend.
I need to read something more mature next, lol.
Do yourself a favor and stop before book 3. The first two books were great. The last book almost had me buying a new tablet when I threw mine across the room :-)
I'm thinking of buying some whiskey in little bitty bottles to put in my 1 quart Ziploc of carry-on liquids for my flight home on Sunday...
Why does AA offer free wine and beer in coach for long-haul flights, but not liquor?! So not fair.
Maybe I'm just not good at being slick, but I did this recently and the stewardess straight took my drink from me. Said I couldn't consume a drink that she didn't serve me. And this was after she asked me to move out of my prime seat for someone else and complied graciously.
I get irrationally pissed off when police officers run stop signs, turn or switch lanes without turn signals, tailgate people on highways, etc. If their lights are flashing that's one thing, but I feel like I am constantly seeing police officers breaking driving laws. Shouldn't they be the ones setting a good example?
ETA: I feel like this is UO/flameful because a. some police officers do much worse things in some cases and that deserves people to be pissed off at them and b. some police officers are amazingly dedicated/good people but I pretty much roll my eyes at all of them now.
I have a friend who is a cop who used to drink while driving (meaning, he'd be driving down the street drinking from a can of beer) when off-duty because he knew he would get away with it if he was pulled over.
I've lost a lot of respect for cops as a result of my friend being a cop
My husband got pulled over twice last week -- once in a car and once on a bike. He used his PBA card to get out of the bike ticket. I think that PBA cards are ridiculously corrupt and all of that (popular opinion, here at least? but certainly unpopular among my husband's friends, most of whom have used them to get out of many tickets including DUIs). But also, if you're going to use the stupid corrupt card, why use it on the stupid bike ticket instead of the car violation that includes points and such?
I do not understand how one of the Directors can go to a conference that cost $3K in registration alone and is in Vegas, yet, I get denied wanting to attend a local seminar that costs less than $100 in registration AND it is fifteen minutes away from my house. The seminar DOES pertain to my job btw.
I am sooo glad I am going back to school and getting my paralegal certificate. I need to get out of this place soon.
In theory, it is a plastic card that cops hand out to their friends (you can also get one by donating to a police benevolent association, hence PBA). My husband's has his friend's shield on the front and has a sticker on the back that says this card was given to [name], a close friend. Please extend all possible courtesies to him. If you have questions call me at [cell].
It functions as something of a get out of jail free card. When you get pulled over, you hand over the PBA card under your license and registration. Thought is, one cop lets your buddies off and you let his buddies off. Doesn't always work, and doesn't work everywhere, but seems that there's a lot of reciprocity among Nassau and Suffolk county (Long Island) cops and the NYPD.
