I might be called in for a second interview next week, but the problem is I only have one blazer! Is it ok if I wear it again if I switch out the pants and blouse?

Good luck! I think it's fine to wear the same blazer - I doubt anyone will remember what you wore the first time around.
I have a very fancy schmancy weekend coming up. I'm going to see a classical music concert in Boston tonight, going to that charity ball tomorrow night, and then going to see an academic lecture on Sunday. I'm gonna be all cultured and shit.
we got free samples of gloves from a vendor. I threw a pair on to check something really quick. They were latex but I figured wearing them for 5 minutes wouldn't matter. Soooo, my hands and wrists immediately broke out into a red rash. I was washing then and my boss saw and it was like this:
Him: what did you do? Me: latex gloves....I always wear nitrile Him: I guess you and latex don't get along very well! Me: I..uh...yeah, guess not
:awwwwwwwwwwwwkward silence, both retreat, end scene:

So you just told him you're allergic to latex?
Am I supposed to be embarrassed when I tell people the same thing? Lol

That is the clearest case of sexual harrassment I've ever seen! Let's see them try to get out of this one.

we had a conversation about pussywillows at 1:15 today. Please document.

I'll be catching up new episodes of Total Divas on the DVR while waiting for my self-tanner to dry. So similar.
So you're watching operatic divas singing arias, and practicing artisanal leather tanning? Sounds simply splendid!

I left work at 1 because I'm just over this week. Now I'm sitting on my ass, catching up on some tv shows I've missed, and drinking hot tea. I should do this every Friday!

My parents are here. I try with my mom, I do, but most of the time I DO NOT LIKE HER and think she is not very smart. We somehow got on the subject of vaccines and my mom was all, "My siblings and I all had measles! We were fine!" So I'm getting all het up about herd immunity, people with auto-immune diseases, she's compounding things by saying she thinks vaccines REDUCE our natural immunity and that Gardasil vaccine only prevents ONE KIND of cervical cancer, and my angel husband finally walks in and says, "Babe, I need to go to bed," and I was like, "Me too!" Then as we're walking away my mom says jokingly, "I bet you're glad I'm not having kids now," and I said, not AT ALL jokingly, "YES. I AM."
This is coming from the woman who won't hold a cell phone up to her ear because CANCER!!! and also won't send her address anywhere in an email because HACKERS!!!! and GOVERNMENT!!!!
In that vein, a couple weeks ago, I was asking a table if they needed any condiments to go with their breakfast and it totally came out as condoms. "May I bring you any condoms?" The guy was like, "sure, just don't tell my wife."
I'm susceptible to being red right now anyway because I'm super warm all the time. I'm sure my face looked like a tomato. Awkward.
I'm spending my snow day eating turkey chili and watching Antiques Roadshow in my flannel pajamas.
I also applied for tickets to the Antiques Roadshow this summer. Maybe that is more of a flameful?
No! I love Antiques Roadshow. Love. I got tickets when they came to town and it was a hoot to see it all going down live. My then-MIL bought this gold vase thing that she'd been guarding for decades because her grandma told her it was worth a gazillion dollars and it was worth, like, $7.85. LOL

Lol was she one of those hilariously disappointed people on the feedback booth? Those people always crack me up.
My mom and I have always talked about going, and since we are probably moving out of the country this year I figured it would be a nice little mother-daughter trip. We have always talked about what we would take, so I want to surprise her if I manage to get the tickets.

pantsparty - hang in there. H and I say all the time it's a good thing his mom isn't having kids NOW. She wouldn't vaccinate them and would probably treat most ailments with herbs and vitamins. :/
H got on an earlier flight! I still have to do bedtime solo again tonight, but he'll be able to bring home dinner!
There is not nearly enough mayo on my sandwich and it's making me irrationally angry.
H just got back from seeing our friend at the hospital. He has burns on 8% of his body (mostly his face and head) so he will be down there for at least another 8 days or so. His vision is a little better today, I guess so hopefully that will come back once his retina burns heal. He's got a long road ahead of him though. We will probably be playing musical vehicles this weekend....his truck is still at his work and his wife's car is still at the hospital here so we are going to try to get them both back to their house. One less thing for them to worry about.
