I've discovered an advantage to a job where I'm out of the office a lot -- I can repeat outfits and nobody knows. I'm wearing the same outfit I wore yesterday!
My husband caught our kitchen on fire last night after I went to bed. He put a small saucepan with some oil in it on the huge burner, turned it to high heat, and then went to the bathroom for who knows how long. The oil got super hot and started splattering onto the burner. It caught fire. The house filled with smoke. The smoke alarms started beeping and yelling "fire! Fire!" I wake up and it takes me a minute to realize what is going on because I thought I was dreaming. I hear him in the bathroom with the vent fan running and playing videos on his phone. I come rushing out of the bedroom as he is walking out of the bathroom. He puts the fire out. Some oil splattered on and burnt his arm (it is just a little pink and doesn't look bad). The saucepan is ruined. The microwave/vent is probably ruined. Our house reeks of burnt oil.
Oh and I was super excited about the lunch and dinner we have prepped for today until I added up the calories. My awesome little salad is 875 calories. The meatloaf is like 1000 calories per slice. Oops. So much for watching my calories.
The fourth online course I wrote went live today for my company. I'm pretty proud of what I've done here in just over six months! About 1,000 people will take each course I create.
Yikes, steph96 - I am glad that it wasn't worse and that no one got seriously injured. Maybe your husband isn't allowed to take his phone with him to the bathroom anymore?

This is my favorite part of consulting. I'm constantly repeating outfits, which then saves on trips to the laundromat. Bonus. And very MM.
Last night I spoke to a group of students for an organization I'm on the board for. It was incredible they were so involved and passionate. It's so nice to see young kids getting involved with their communities. I'm glad I switched gears on the type of organizations I am on the board for. This is my 6th board role and so far my favorite.

I'm just happy it's Thursday.
I'm so angry at him. I've told him a million times to not put a tiny pan on the huge burner because when stuff boils over, it immediately burns to the super hot burner (we have a glass top stove so it is a pain to clean). I've told him a million times that he shouldn't leave stuff unattended on the stove and if he does, he needs to be sure that he can hear it. He said that he didn't hear the smoke detector, so I'm mad that he was locked in the bathroom where he couldn't hear anything (thanks to the vent fan and his phone) while flammable stuff was on high heat. The whole situation was just so irresponsible. We will see if he learned his lesson.
I'm fighting hard at the urge to buy all the things. Specifically, I want fall decor, fall clothing, a new hair cut/color, new fashion boots, new winter boots, new winter coat - and maybe that's it. Lol. I actually need new boots/coat since my old ones are literally falling apart, but the rest I should probably survive without...

Any consignment shops in your area? I've recently replaced a lot of clothing for free by "trading" my size 0 clothes and then using the credit to "buy" new (to me) clothes.
For decor check out the dollar store. They have killer stuff, for a dollar! It's where I buy all my seasonal stuff.
Finally, splurge on a cut and box dye. Or visit a local hair school.
I am thisclose to walking out of this class bc the instructor keeps interrupting questions from the class. I'm only sticking around at this point as an anthropology study - is it just the women. It seems to be more frequent with the women, but he did just cut off a male.
Yesterday, when he did it - I bit back with "may I please finish my question?" Then he answered it wrong bc he was answering the question he thought I was asking. Which caused much more confusion.
A star football player committed to a In-State school because he was offered a full ride. He wanted to attend the Other In-State School, but they only offered partial scholarship. The Other State school got a new coach in the meantime, saw what Star football player could do and re-offered him a full ride.
The kid switched.
The parents of Star football player receive mail every week with article about In-State School and how they are so awesome and going to kick ass over Other In-state School. Complete with high-lighted notes.
As far as star football player is concerned, he's red-shirting, and NOT EVEN PLAYING THIS YEAR.
Ridiculous right? Fans are freaking crazy.
Who is sending the articles? Also, I find it laughable that State was picked 1st in the conference after the thumping that the U put on last year. And will this year. I think State was picked due to lack of other options.

Return address is #1 Stadium Bozangles, MT lol. Yesterday it was an article about how the receivers are the "major strength".
The kid is a salt of the earth kid, and so is his parents, I'm really close to them, but I'm still like WTF?
My uncle one time got a toaster from a fan saying that their "cornerbacks were toast" (they were not), and I can see a little play on the coaches...but an 18 year old kid? Really?
Surely the coaches aren't sending it, right? Or is someone filling in the address as the coaching offices?
I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a mosquito buzzing around my ear and freaked out. I'm now sleeping in the guest bedroom until I can be sure that it died of old age.
my chiro's office turned out to be a secret gym cult. I'm super sad about this.
everyone looks magazine ready and is obsessed with fitness. and they want me to be obsessed with fitness.
started w/ the initial consult. was greeted by a really rude receptionist who was not impressed by the fact that my e-mail has my middle initial AND numbers after it (the horror). unfortunately, I had to take what was available, lady.
at my old place, my pre-adjustment massages took place in a dimly lit room w/ music and inspirational photos and hot stones. my masseuse, rebecca, would talk to me about my "energy" during the process. she'd say really calming things like "give it to the universe -- your move will be wonderful and I know you're going to do great things." I left smiling and relaxed every single time.
THIS was done in some bright room w/ my street clothes on. the man just kept asking me if I was "doing ok" (?) and my chiro randomly popped his head in after 10 mins to see what was going on.
after the massage, I was brought into the gym, which is really just a big open room w/ 4-5 men and one hot 21 year old girl throwing kettle balls over her head (not exaggerating - it was called a "flip"). I didn't know I was going to the gym, so I had on sandals. didn't matter -- they gave me 5 exercises and kept repositioning me because I apparently stand wrong. for 25 years I've been a failure! my chest needs to go out, I'm supposed to somehow suck my spine in(??), relax my neck, and unlock my knees. this super weirdo kept saying shit like: "I diagnose people through movement. I bet your parents put you in those little kitten heels before your growth plates were fused." he also really rudely corrected me (in conversation, not posture) at least twice.
when the chiro asked me about formal exercise, I replied "not much, but I walk a lot" (averaging 19,000 steps or 8+ miles/day recently). he then made fun of me and asked if I am 65 years old. his adjustment itself was pretty good which is kind of a bummer.
the worst is that this place had 5 stars on yelp (which neverrrr let me down in Chicago). Welcome to NY??

Time to find someone else. My H went to a new chiro on MD. This guy said he didn't believe in fibromyalgia as though it were the tooth fairy. And then he suggested dry needling, which should not be done in fibromyalgia patients. On top of this, he didn't even adjust my H. H went to a new PCP and got the name of someone else. FX this guy is better.
