I have a hair appt on Friday, and I am considering making a drastic change. I have naturally curly hair that's past my shoulders. I never ever wear it down, it is always in a pony tail or messy bun. So I am really thinking of going with an inverted bob, with it a bit longer in front. I have a picture I will take with me and will ask to make sure she can do it, but I am still pretty damn nervous. I don't want the end up looking like a mushroom or something. Never had my hair shorter than shoulder length.
Can you please send me your inspiration picture? I've had an inverted bob before and loved it. I'd love to get it cut that way again! It's so blah now.
I sure can! Let me figure out how. Do you have curly hair?

Nope, it's stick straight. If the pic doesn't work for me, no biggie. You can send it to me via PM.
We went to our grocery store's "Boo Blast" tonight so C and SS could wear their costumes and trick or treat. C loooooved it and was running all over the store from station to station. And the tail of his dog costume wags while he runs. I about died from all the cute.
I'm supposed to go to a concert with a friend tomorrow but she has the stomach bug and doesn't know if she'll be up for it. I don't know if I'm bummed or happy that I can go to bed at a reasonable hour. #lame
My husband is infuriating me with regard to work. He is basically being handed a manager job (he is an awesome performer though), and he is all "I don't know if I really want to do this." Meanwhile I have been clawing for a promotion to manager for literally 3+ years. Different fields, don't compare, blah blah blah.
I WANT THE FUCKING MONEY. TAKE THE JOB ALREADY AND STFU.
My husband has been in the field 7 yrs and has no desire to be a manager yet. Mentors have told him not to make the jump too soon. My H is a major introvert though, not sure he would enjoy it though the money would be great.

We just got a letter from the IRS saying they think we owe them an extra $40k. This is not going to make DH happy. Maybe I should hand it to him naked? Ugh.
I think DH should totally go for a leadership position but he has no interest. It kills me. It would be extra money and, in terms of working at home, better workload IMO.

I have this hair and did this exact thing a few weeks ago. I'm still getting used to it but I have no regrets so far. It takes so little time to wash it now, it's great.
That's awesome! Anything specific you think I should tell the stylist? Think it would work with an oval (longish) shaped face?

my husband has vague interest but intense fear of failure. Also he has been offered no manager training which is crazy cakes to me. Hopefully if / when it becomes official that would happen.
Spoken from someone who has had to attend manager training TWICE and still isn't a formal manager.
Dh would be great in a leadership role in education - but there would be aspects of the job that would be things he doesn't like - paper work, reports, etc…that turns him off it even though the majority of the job would be things he would be awesome at, like coaching teachers. AND NO MARKNG OR REPORT CARDS. Once he has mentioned that he wouldn't 'hate it'…but that's the most I got out of him.

Reading about the mass FB friending makes me tempted to friend MMM people, but I'm too "NOT A SAFE PLACE" paranoid. Then I get sad about not being FB friends with anybody, though.

DS1 was awesome today, which after a difficult yesterday was welcomed. Tonight since both my parents are now here, both DH and I put H to bed together. I think he wanted to feel like the center of attention: we read books and then in a group hug all said Humpty Dumpty. He was full of smiles and laughter. I'm so proud of whole well he is adjusting overall. We have had some ups and downs, but the ups outweigh the downs.

About an hour ago I agreed to work tomorrow at our more distant hospital. I just remembered that my car is in the shop and I'm driving the jeep tomorrow.
The top is off our jeep . And it's mostly highway to get there. Do I try to get the hard top on myself (DH is at work) or tough it out at 5:30am and 40 degree temp?
One baby just woke up and when h went in to get her she dropped her paci under th4 crib. Instead of going downstairs to get another one he started trying to use something to get it out from under the crib while the other baby was still sleeping!! Wtf H. Really? I don't need both babies awake!
I think the glue or ink or somethig he is using to make his stupid work Halloween costume has gone to his head!
I tried making spanakopita for dinner, because we had a ton of spinach from our CSA to use.
Except then my dill was all dead. And the recipe said phyllo dough or puff pastry. I thought "I am going to be authentic and buy phyllo dough". Except I am not 100% sure I understand the quantities of phyllo dough, and H was gone, and DD was throwing chocolate chips into every measuring bowl I own.
So, the crust is a little skimpy. The filling tastes good at least!
ps, if someone knows how to use/measure phyllo dough, please tell me. The recipe said 2 sheets, which if I were using puff pastry I'd read to be 2 rolls? I just kind of layered it in there until it looked good-ish.
2 sheets is a weird measurement for phyllo. I usually say a pound or a package or something similar. With spanakopita, I typically do about 8-10 layers of phyllo, each one brushed with melted butter or oil (or a combo of both) before adding the next. For mini spanakopitas I do fewer since they get folded up.
THANK YOU. I thought it didn't make sense once I opened the package. I probably did about 4 on the bottom and 6 on top and it was a little skimpy. At least the recipe told me to brush with oil. Although melted butter might be even better. Hmmm.
This is my first random post from my phone. The bad gift post from several days ago made me laugh so hard i woke Ds who was asleep on me. Ds doesnt sleep much so i loved and hated you all equally that evening. What a way to introduce myself, eh?
I get frustrated by all the abbreviations because i lived under a child free rock prior to DS's arrival. Like literally....he arrived 12 days early and i had planned on reading all the baby stuff the weekend before his due date. I am and will be forever feeling unprepared and inadequate.
Good to see you here! I was wondering how you were doing. Hang in there, it gets easier!

I get sad about it sometimes too but I don't even have a real FB account. I have a fake one that I use for Candy Crush but I feel weird friending people with that.

Random: Despite people saying that they are happy to accept friend requests on FB, I'm still too unsure to send any friend requests. I'm socially awkward.
A Local chocolate shop was selling different candies in the lobby at my work today. There were cute Halloween decorated rice crispy treats on a stick for two dollars. I think: hey my kids would love those. So I ran back upstairs to grab my wallet. I get back literally two minutes later and they upped the price to five dollars apiece. I asked about the price hike and they said they were selling out so fast that they had no choice but to raise the price so they can keep some of their inventory. seriously? Assholes
How firm is a formula powder expiration date? I just found 4 little pouches of single serve Infamil but it expires November 1. Think I could still use those over the next week or don't risk it?
