I already told you, but for the others - I'm thinking of taking in a foster dog. We've got two puppy mill outside females that have come in. Never had much human interaction and are just very scared and shy. I have asked for one of them, but waiting on TPTB in the rescue to decide if I'd be a right fit as a foster. I'm a little nervous about this, but I want to start giving parts of myself to causes that are important to me so I can feel like I'm making a difference.
Nothing new here, just working on getting things set up for Christmas. My budget is smaller this year, but I'm really going to try to maximize it so that the kids have a great day and they don't think Santa forgot them (though I may be more worried about it than they are).
Still looking for a church, haven't found the "one" yet.
Went to bed (at 8) with a headache and it was even worse when I got up this morning. Going to try and make the most of the day anyway. Because I was so off this morning, I forgot to grab my glasses so I feel naked! Good thing I can still see without them.
I'm apprehensive about dinner plans this weekend, which is silly.

Quit vagueposting and give detailssssss
lmfao...sorry! I blame the headache
I'm going out to dinner with the vacation crew, on Saturday. 1. I'm all weird about being the 5th wheel, which is stupid, because they're not like that. 2. I'm anxious about seeing the one couple who were involving me in their drama the first part of this year, but have now fallen in love again and are all "honey" "baby" "#ihavethebesthubbyever". We've not exactly talked since I called them out on their shitty friendship nonsense in August.

Is this the one where the wife was cheating on the H?

Not much new for me! I've started to think about and plan everything for Christmas. We have window installers coming around Christmastime (yes, really) to install the last two new windows for our house, and because of the work being done, we'll have to change where we put the tree and the lights and modify our decorating quite a bit. Bah humbug.
I've also been doing a lot of vacation planning in my spare time. We'll be going on a belated tenth anniversary trip in February.
I am working from home, and I intend to do as little work as possible. Instead, I just finished making a stash of pie crusts, since this weekend kicks of 2 straight weeks of Thanksgiving/friendsgiving celebrations. I don't know how I'm not going to gain 10lbs this month :/
Right?? And seeing as I am hosting Thanksgiving, I plan on making a ridiculous amount of food.

I'm super excited about hosting Thanksgiving. I love to cook and menu plan and entertain. P even told me that he is really looking forward to it because he loves watching me "perform".
I already told you, but for the others - I'm thinking of taking in a foster dog. We've got two puppy mill outside females that have come in. Never had much human interaction and are just very scared and shy. I have asked for one of them, but waiting on TPTB in the rescue to decide if I'd be a right fit as a foster. I'm a little nervous about this, but I want to start giving parts of myself to causes that are important to me so I can feel like I'm making a difference.
Not to dissuade you, but I fostered a puppy mill female dog as well. She was super scared and shy. The only issue I had was that she was NOT potty trained and she constantly peed in my house. I would take her out and an hour later she would be peeing on the floors again.
doglove A foster? Squeee! Sounds perfect for you (and Buddy will make a great housepup mentor)
I know I feel like I have to start focusing on qualities that make me feel confident and I know I'm good at this. And I think Buddy would be fantastic at it too.

Oh I expect this, both females are 5 years old so hopefully that's training that's something I can work on with them. And pick up a lot of nature's miracle.
And it should come as no surprise, after they decided to fix things, they started planning the trip to Costa Rica, went on some trips together, out for fancy dinners and lots of concerts. I hate to be *that guy* but I can't help but be skeptical of the sudden love fest, which has corresponded with lots of expensive outings.

It's be good for you and life-saving for the fosters. You did a great job with your previous fosters, and they are all happily in their own homes now. Especially Buddy
But man, I don't miss potty-training dogs. There's nothing like carrying a peeing dog out the door as fast as you can go.

is there any particular gift you are looking for? I see deals flying around all day and if there is something you are looking for i can keep an eye out for it .
The kids are working on their lists, but right now this is what I know so far:
DD: Ever After High Thronecoming playset (they have it at Sam's for $29, toys r us has it for $50) DS#1: Transformers Grimlock (or Optimus or Bumblebee), or anything lego. DS#2: A fleece mickey mouse blanket, beyond that I dunno--he really likes Michelangelo from TMNT but he hasn't been specific (he's 3).
DD's been charged with helping the boys write their lists because I know family is going to start asking me "so, what should I get the kids?".
I woke up feeling better, like I could breathe through my nose and all, but then I started coughing and realized that my ear is congested again. This is ridiculous. I wish there was a vacuum they could hook me up to to clear out my sinuses.
