I wonder what it's like to buy large pieces of furniture you don't have to assemble. Brought to you by an evening with an Allen wrench as I assemble our dining room chairs.
Just watched the latest Mad Men episode. I am sad it's ending soon.
I went to the grocery store today (a s boutique-y one near my house) and got a container of ice cream on sale. The cashier said oh have you tried the gelato? The sea salt caramel is amazing. There was no line so I ran and grabbed some, and noticed there was a hazelnut version too. Of course I bought that. Meaning I left the store with 3 containers of ice cream! So I now I need to get up and prepare a delicious bowl of ice cream for myself.
We went out for dinner for H's friend's birthday and brought Bas. Man, how old does Bas have to get before I stop being constantly on edge re him being a total maniac at a restaurant? (Breezy people, please don't answer.) He did ok and ate a few bites of burger and cucumber and like 2 french fries and chugged a glass of milk and a pouch, but also ommggggg not a relaxing time.
I felt that way when we took DS to a nice restaurant for FILs bday. Luckily he took a really long nap and was in a good mood. He spent most of the time smiling and waiving to everyone in the restaurant and making friends with the waitresses. Such a ham!

Our new dining room table and 4 of our 6 chairs came assembled. It was AWESOME.
Also, the Ikea as-is room is where it's at - cheaper than full price and pre-assembled!
I went clothes shopping tonight and actually found things that I like. Why have I never shopped at H & M before?
But I hate sizing for females. It's so inconsistent. I bought jeans at American Eagle that are size 0, but a top at H & M that's an 8.
oh yeah it's the worst. I once had a friend pick me up jeans in a 27 at H&M because I normally wear a 25 and they wouldn't even fit past my knees. Insanity.
I am a 0 and i feel like the people who can wear an H&M 0 must literally be skeletons.
H just informed me that he was at one point considered the greatest Athlete in the world.
It's why he has money, I think. The endorsements and such, maybe?
I read something about this yesterday, he apparently hired a manager prior to going to the Olympics in case he won. He was on the Wheaties box, and had another huge endorsement, but I don't remember what it was. He won the decathlon in 1976.

You and msniq should form a club and get jackets made.
We are out for Chinese tonight. V learned to clink glasses, so hell be in good company with the MMM lushes. We fed him a sesame ball for dessert. He likes it, but mostly he just wanted to make it bounce.
Does this problem make sense? If you were in grade 3 could you solve it? Clearly I'm procrastinating on my course work.
Each batch of chocolate chip cookies (one dozen) requires 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips. Four cups of chocolate chips come in each bag. You need to make 8 dozen cookies. How many bags of chocolate chips do you need to buy?
You need 12 cups for 8 batches therefore, 3 bags of chocolate chips.
niq we have the same sippy. Boys who drink pink unite!
Incidentally I also have two pink toddler forks that are our favorite because they were the only package of two in the store (everything else had spoons and I have too many spoons already).

Tonight at dinner my husband's work friend and his fiance happened to be sitting at the table next to us. I have only met the fiance once before. We were ridiculous, and I can't imagine what she thinks of us. The highlight was when M managed to dump his water in my lap and fall off the bench at the same moment. Then when I moved to wipe up the water my sandal slid on the water and I sliced my toe open on the base of the table.

RFK Jr is on Real Time spouting off about the ingredients!!!! in vaccines. I used to really respect him for his environmental views, but now I think he is a nutter.
All this talk about H&M sizing is making me feel better. I am usually around a size 8 and I tried on a dress in size 10 there and I couldn't even get it on. Not a good place to shop when you are struggling with PP body issues.

I had an exhausting night. I started my period so I'm extra sensitive and crabby, and took DS to my SILs birthday dinner. DS was a freaking maniac and refused to eat one bite of the dinner. So I paid $38 for me to sit there and me be silently cursing him.
I just am having feelings tonight. Maybe I can find the Bruce Jenner thing online to take my mind off stuff.
I just ate a bunch of goat cheese pizza and am finishing my (first) glass of wine. I'm supposed to be on maternity leave and had 3 appointments today that were kind of shitty. Poor baby A is being lugged all over in a car seat.

DS is 3 and generally a chill kid. We're still on high alert at restaurants. It can go SO bad SO quickly.

Also, I feel gross. I need to quit stress eating.
Shit. Don't you have a backup person filling in? Take it easy next week!
We had friends planning to look at a house that listed today across the street.
The wife had changed her mind about moving from their house or a possible move to Chicago pretty much daily for months.
They are pg with #3 in a 1k sq ft home.
She decided today her current decision is to stay in their home in their desirable part of town for now.
I love their area but that house with 3 kids?
Plus I bummed because I would love to have close friends as neighbors.
That's why I try to convince everyone to move to my neighborhood. At least I live in the middle of town and right off the interstate so people will come see me:)

But I'm jealous of goat cheese.
Sort of but not really. I have someone handling a difficult file, and someone else has shown houses for me a few times, but beyond that not really. The appts today were ones I couldn't send someone else on.
And I have 6 deals going on and like $17K in commission income on pending files. And the two people I trust to cover my stuff are busier than I am. If I drop the ball now, I won't have work later in the year when I do want to go back.
So, now, I'm sitting up when I should be sleeping, cuddling the baby, because I feel like she's not getting enough attention between work and a toddler in the house.
Moral of the story: 1. Don't be self-employed and 2. Whoever is the next person to post "I'm thinking about getting into RE, it's so flexible!" is getting hit in the head with a sock full of nickels.
It is storming pretty bad here so I am on edge. You'd think living in the Midwest my entire life would mean storms would be NBD but I always feel so insecure now that I have no basement :/
