Seriously, no Tuesday post yet? @uwhuskygirl is slacking (or working)
H's BFF is coming to town today and we're meeting up for Taco Tuesday. If anyone lives north I highly recommend Barbacoa for this deal. $5 all you can eat tacos! But, their fish tacos (not discounted on TT) are THE BEST! So good!
Some a-holes were lighting off fireworks last night on the street behind our house. Jerks! Coffee is definitely needed today.

We had fireworks last night, too. So lame. I've never heard anything like what we had this weekend! I love fireworks, but it was out of control. Explosions and sirens until 2 in the morning on Saturday! So crazy!
Booked my train ticket for Portland, can't wait to get down there. There's a Rogue taproom a few blocks from the hotel, so I plan to fully enjoy my kid-free afternoon and evening on Thursday.
Got our new dishwasher yesterday and never thought I'd be so excited about an appliance. I can't wait for the stove to get here!
Really, really pissed off at work, because I found out yesterday that my new direct report is making more than I am, by a lot. Same education level, less experience, less robust skill set, and he reports to me. I've been waiting patiently through TWO promotions with no salary change because of reorg and budget issues (plus essentially took a paycut when we were bought out), and now I'm feeling like a doormat and I'm so mad. SO MAD. I have my review next week, and things had better change. Sorry for the long vent, I'm just all hulk smash and my husband is tired of hearing about it.

I was offered a job last fall that I really wanted to take, but it would have meant a loss of flexibility and we would have had to live in Redlands, CA, which is not my idea of a great place to live. I ended up staying, because they agreed to let me work remotely and promised they'd bring my salary up. It would have been a $40K pay increase. I'm kind of kicking myself, right now. That's what I get for being loyal, I guess. There's certainly no loyalty on the part of corporations. This sucks, because I do like my job and I've been working with my boss for 10+ years and we're super close. I'm going to raise hell with the VP.
@uwhuskygirl - How's Vegas? sotally tober - Thanks for starting a thread.
30 weeks today. Work then doctor's appointment, then to the chiropractor. I'd really like to get a pedi if time permits before dinner with my parents. The heat hasn't totally killed me yet, I think the AC in the office helps. Is anyone going to the Taylor Swift concert next month? They are currently going for $300 each, I'm too late.
theoriginalbean, that sucks. I really hope that your company pulls their head out of their ass soon.
sotally tober, I'm still in Vegas for work, so in your time zone now. regular good morning will resume next week.
Just another day at the studio. I really wish I could say here what I'm doing because this had honestly been the weirdest and most surreal few days of my life.

Not much going on here. Pretty chill day. I have a lunch date today. Thinking some sushi is in order.I need to call and get some appointments scheduled, brows, pedi. Beauty maintenance is so time consuming.
@uwhuskygirl When WILL you be able to tell us about this weird and surreal project? MIL just arrived in LV last night to visit her cousin and spend our inheritance.
I'm getting nervous because I only have 2 (or 3?) PT appointments scheduled left and he said I might be ready for release into my own care! But I haven't been so good with the self-care, although I blame some of that on the heat. My neck is almost better but I still can't look straight up and the best we can get my hip and psoas is to "mildly uncomfortable". Hoping work is a little slow since my brain is rather slow. Caught up with my bestie over dinner last night and her boyfriend is being...oy. No words as weird doesn't capture it.
theoriginalbean - add me to the furious-on-your-behalf group. I hope you get this resolved soon!
@uwhuskygirl - I'm going to assume you're involved in some sort of adult industry convention until the end of Sept
Hello! Our dishwasher still isn't fixed, so that will mean more eating out/take out... so sad I'm counting down the days until this weekend, and the Seattle International Beer Festival!

P dog got her bandage off today so no more cone of shame for her unless she scratches and shakes too much. I had a neighbor tell me today that we priced our house too low, she is listing her house this week and I imagine she is listing it for more than we did. I am quite happy with where we listed and what we ended up with. If people thought it was worth more we would have had higher offers and we didn't. This woman's sister was one of the offers we received but it wasn't the one we accepted as we had a higher offer from another couple.
Afternoon. We had babies first apt this morning and have just been going along with the day. I'm working on figuring out my maneuvering of getting things done around the house and tending to kids before H goes back to work.

We are down at the bottom of Snoqualmie falls, the boys are wading in the water and having fun. We were supposed to go berry picking too, but by the time we get dried off and hike back up the hill, remlingers will be closed.
Random: I won a $50 jamba juice GC and I'm so excited to get it!!
