meshaliuknits - I'm sorry That sucks. Do you know where she is? Can you call the lockup and explain that you were unable to accept the charges but want to speak to her? I have no idea how this works.
It's gotten rainy here and our puppy, Obi, refused to pee on wet grass. I take him out and he won't go, no matter how long I wait, but the second his feet hit the covered patio he pees everywhere. So gross! Good thing he's cute.

Speaking of mamaharpy, this mimosa reminds me that I booked us a bottomless brunch for her visit. Unlimited mimosas with my mom only days after the midterm elections.
I'm incredibly disgusted by how many times I've encountered non-hand washers in the bathroom at work.
WHO DOES THIS? EBOLA, PEOPLE!!
No really - who fucking does this? Didn't they see the episode of ER where the dude made everyone sick because he brought cookies and then touched them with his unwashed hands???

The best part is that I work in the building that houses the biochemistry, micro and molecular biology, and biomedical sciences departments. These people should be well acquainted with pathogens!

I'm almost done with this bottle of champagne. So far today I have:
Baked 17 chocolate chip cookies (using dough leftover from Saturday) Made pancake batter for the freezer to use up buttermilk Washed the dishes Deep cleaned the stove Cleaned the microwave Washed the cat fountain and food bowl Put away cat medicines Thrown out piled up junk mail Cleaned the downstairs bathroom Called about a bill Pretended not to be home when evangelists came by Washed sheets and towels Eaten nachos

Seriously.
I do tons of gross shit, and I figure I cancel it out because I pee all the freaking time and wash my hands every single time I use the bathroom.
I could get it for 20% off at BBB. But still, that would be about $145 for a trash can. A TRASH CAN.
We have had the simplehuman can since 2006! And it still works and looks perfect. We previously had off brand stainless step cans and they would break w/in a year. If your kitchen is such that your garbage has to be out, the simplehuman is the way to go.
I have a distant cousin (married into the family) who I have played a few rounds of words with friends with. She is robotically good to the point where I think she is using an aid of some sort. Or she's just really good. In any case she smokes me everytime. And it's not fun playing her. Plus we are not close in any way. And she's an anti vaxer. And just odd. Anyway. After our last game a month ago she continually sends me requests to play. She starts a game. I don't accept. The game expires and she automatically sends me another request and starts a new game with me (that I don't accept). This has been going on for a month. I am getting annoyed. And the annoying thing is that the app sends me alerts everyday or so reminding me that this person has asked me to play or that she had nudged me. I still use the app to play the game with my sisters but those are the only people I really want to play. She can tell I am playing because I'm assuming my name pops up on some friend leaderboard thing. What do I do?
If this has been going on for a while, I might just tell her you don't want to play because she's so much better at it than you (since she doesn't seem to get the hint). I mean, most people don't enjoy constantly losing, whether it's really because she's better or because she's actually cheating. I would leave out your disagreement with her anti-vax stance for the sake of family harmony and not wanting to get into fights I won't win on Facebook.
I opted to decline her request. If that doesn't send the message then I don't know what will.
I think she cheats because it doesn't matter what letters she seems to have or what's happening on the board she is always able to make a 30+ point word all w/in five minutes after I move. She could have a coqxhkm and turn it into a triple word with a triple letter! There must be some cheater ad-on app. Or she's brilliant. Ha.

Still lots to do, but not too shabby!
Wow. Let me know if you're ever in my area. Heck, I'd let you stop at the cookies.
This has turned into a really good Monday. Went to Target, they had flu shot in stock and I got C a great fall jacket on clearance. While there, I got a phone call that I won a photo contest with my dentist office and have $10 at a local pumpkin farm. And DH has been approved for the 7:30-4:30 schedule, starting next week. I will no longer have to sit in the car for 1hr 10 min every freaking afternoon for pickup; we'll be getting home an extra half-hr earlier every day!

This is why I don't eat things people bring to work. ew
So many of my coworkers do the wiggle your fingers under water for 5 seconds thing and I just want to scream at them to use soap and rub their freaking hands together. So gross.
So DH just kinda gave me a brush off when I asked him if he got open enrollment info yet at work. We're trying to make arrangements for next year just in case I accept an internship and have to do COBRA for awhile and he just gave me the whole "well the guy never got back to me - he's busy."
Like I care. Get the info! "He's busy" is not an acceptable answer and DH knows that. I don't give a shit if I'm annoying somebody. Not when it comes to insurance!

I ordered this dress from Rent the Runway for DH's high school reunion on Saturday. I hope it fits. I have a black dress I can wear if this doesn't work, but I really wanted to wear something fun. The site had pictures of women who are my size wearing this dress, so I'm hopeful. I have sparkly flats that I think will work.

an hour and 10 minutes? That seems...excessive.
We have only one car. My job is more flexible so I get the car in case C needs to come home from daycare. Right now,I work 8-4, leave the office about 4:10 to pick up C at daycare, leave daycare around 4:35, drive over to DH's office and wait 10-15 min until he finishes at 5; we get home around 5:25 at night. So yeah, it's kind of sucked.

that still sucks but I thought you waited an hour and 10 minutes to pick up C. I was confused.

I'm such a wuss, my period cramps are so bad that I left work to come home, take an ativan and a bath and get an hr nap in. So much better for now, but I could've avoided this if I was allowed to take advil, which is not allowed until I get my port taken out on Thurs.

Not quite; but C is stuck in the car too for about 50min, so this will be a huge improvement for all of us.
