My dad has an interview on Friday and the interviewer said that it was "more casual" so he didn't need to wear a suit. So we were talking about what that meant and I said I'd probably still wear a tie. He made a comment about ironing a certain shirt and I said "OMG, do not wear a short sleeve shirt with a tie." He said he's trying to get a job, not win a fashion show. LOL-this is the same man who said he'd only wear sandals if he could wear socks. :-|
Last night, I was joking around before dinner and started shaking the Parmesan cheese container a little too aggressively. The lid flew open and covered our entire kitchen in cheese....including our (black) cat and dog. They got really excited and spent, like, an hour grooming cheese bits off each other. It was adorable.
I put my CrossFit membership on hold this morning and it makes me really sad. I'm proud that I made it this far, but I went yesterday and I just felt like my body was screaming at me to stop the whole time. I miss it already but I know it's the right decision.
I will be glad when the Olympics are over. WSJ keeps sending me e-mail updates. I am pretty sure my settings for e-mail alerts don't include anything that would make it seem like I find this relevant.

I am going to Denver for work in a couple of weeks. I didn't tell DH but I actually requested the trip. Mostly for training purposes but also so I could get some actual sleep and have conversation outside of babies.
I can't wait! A big comfy hotel bed to myself, dressing up in work clothes (I WFH now), makeup and dinners out. It will be like a vacation!
@ Kirklette and I were a 1/2 hour late to daycare today because we kept driving around singing this song at the top of our lungs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGXzlRoNtHU
In my defense, it was the clean version.
Kirklette is solid on backup with the, "And they stay there,and they stay there, up down up down up down". Hand motions and all.

My fave part of staying in a hotel is the big bed all to myself. I am missing our annual conference thisyear due to maternity leave and I am sad to lose the bed!
I need to find something to do with myself. School starts back at the end of this month and I will probably go in starting somewhere around the 20th to set up. I don't want to waste the time away watching People's Court and Maury Povich.
I'm working on some assignments for a class I'm taking and they are just busy work. I'm half-assing everything at this point and still getting As.
I realize I sound really lazy right now. We had a crazy busy July.
I think my FIL could be mentally ill. Maybe even a paranoid schizophrenic? Could he make it this far in life with such a condition? He is delusional, talks and laughs to himself and is quite mean and manipulative. He would not consider help...everyone "picks on him". Of course I am not a doctor and we have been trying to get him to put H down on his medical docs so Mr. Pom can talk to his physician.
He is 74 and believes that everyone else is the problem. His soon-to-be Ex-wife called me today, sobbing. I feel so sorry for her and for my H. I see many dark days ahead.

I won't have a car so I have to stay close to the hotel or pay for a cab with my own money (and I am a cheap ass). I will be in the DTC. What are some good places around there? My work buddy is going to take me out one night to a place called Venice that she raves about.
Today is a little slower around the office. We're all just "hungover" from yesterday's event and the copious amounts of coffee we all drank. Or maybe, just me. I feel like I missed the first day of August. It's shocking that today is already the 2nd. Ugh.
Oh and I've yet to receive my damn diploma. It's making me stabby. I want my diploma.
It's insane how much fun we have when I'm home during the week. We hang out, do yoga or Zumba, sing and dance to pop music, take naps, go shopping, and eat ice cream. It rules. We're ridiculous.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't know that "real" ties existed until far too late in my life. My dad only wore clip on ties, so I thought that's how all ties were. ;D
My random: H and I are headed to San Diego this weekend. He's going to be performing Chinese lion dance before the Padres game on Saturday. I'm super excited to see him perform. I also can't wait for the game. I love baseball. And San Diego!
My bridal shower is next saturday. I'm already becoming an anxious mess over being the center of attention at such an event. It's making me feel ill.
Fiance's tuition bill for this semester showed up. It wasn't huge but if he had filed the paperwork earlier his police department would have covered it. I'm pissed at him that we have to pay for it now. But not pissed enough to make him drop this semester. I've decided the best route is to ignore him for the rest of the day.
Also, work has been sending around all these e-mails about how they're sponsoring a happy hour at a restaurant for staff tomorrow. Great! We never have any perks like this, so people were really stoked.
Today's reminder e-mail noted that they are paying for appetizers, but "drinks are on your own." Lame.

There is a whole area on the west side of I25, between belleview and orchard called the landmark. On of my absolute favorite restaurants is ali baba (http://alibabagrill.com/) and another great (and reasonable) restaurant is Lime (eatatlime.com). Jing is also very good as is Hapa Sushi. That area is a lot of fun and definitely a little more hip than the rest of DTC. Other restaurants in the area I would recommend - Great Northern Tavern, Larkburger, Pasquini's.
I'm about to order my second bloody mary. Its ok though because its free.
I felt guilty ordering the first one because of how hung over I was yesterday (still didn't feel 100% this am, two days later) but hair of the dog and all....

The Hunger Games just opened at the $3 movie theatre. I didn't get to see it when it was in the regular theatre (I hadn't finished the book yet, and by the time I had, all my friends had already seen it.).
I cannot express how excited this makes me. I am totally going to see it today.

Where are you? I am jealous!
I'm on my way to Boston. I don't get back until Tuesday night, so excited!!! ;D
