So tomorrow, instead of going to tacosforlife's awesome cheese-laden housewarming where I could be drinking tequila sunrises, H and I will be trekking out to central WI for an "outdoor" wedding. I am....well. Resigned. The drive/shuttle from the hotel to the ceremony/reception is nearly an hour. We're stocking it with beer. Because why not?
I strained my right leg muscle and my left ass muscle at the gym yesterday. I'm walking pretty funny today.

I'm sorry that you are missing awesomeness!
This one is RAC-related. I have cut way way WAY down on alcohol for fitness reasons. I want to have one or two drinks tomorrow. But I still want to keep my sugar intake down. So I had H buy me orange LaCroix to cut my OJ with in the tequila sunrises!
At 8:20am, I get a call from a colleague and they are going IN. I just got off the phone the with the person my 8:20am caller was going in about. He's all "AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU TELL SO AND SO BECAUSE I PUT IT IN AN EMAIL ANYWAY ..." Dayum y'all. It's Friday. It's sunny and glorious outdoors. Y'all gonna start the day off like this.
Let me get a cup of coffee to deal. Because I see today I will actually live up to my unofficial job title - Babysitter to Adults.
I went to a get together last night with a bunch of girls in my meetup group. A new girk came and she was wearing an MLM shirt advertising her business. About 12 seconds after meeting each of us she handed out her business flyer and then spent most of the night talking about how awesome her business is and it's *only* $xx to buy in and sell. Gah!

I'm pretty sure my brother is going to a LARP event next weekend instead of coming to DD's birthday party. You know, like he did a few weeks ago when we visited and celebrated our grandmother's birthday. And like he does almost every time we visit.
I'm afraid to say anything, but it's pissing me off. I think he knows, because he called last week and said he was going to come visit for a day sometime soon (not mentioning the party). He said he had to check some things and get back to me. Okay, let me know when your unemployed, not going to school self has some free time. I'll wait.

Ha, I was just going to complain about the rain starting today, because we're supposed to be celebrating 10 years by spending the afternoon wandering the city and then have dinner and beer. Of course it starts raining today.

Now that papers are signed and old position is resigned I can finally announce that H got the job!!!! He starts as soon as his background checks are cleared as his old position asked him to leave immediately upon giving notice. Eight years, three states, seven moves, a PhD and three kids later he finally has a permanent job again and we're moving into a stable position! The money is more than he expected, the job itself seems like it's going to be a far better fit than academia was in the end, the commute will be rough but will be all by train (our house is walkable to the train station) and we're setting the wheels in motion to buy our house from my mom and life is so so good!
Thank you to everyone for all the advice and vibes and head pats through this whole process. You helped keep me (somewhat) sane through this anxiety!
My neighborhood is hosting a residence only beer and wine fest in the park next to my house tomorrow. We only have to pay for food (Food Trucks!). All the beer and wine samples are free. There will also be live music and "yard games." I'm looking forward to hopefully meeting some more people from the neighborhood.

I microwaved egg whites for breakfast this morning since I had approximately one million (nine) leftover from making ice cream. They were objectionable. Chewy. Maybe I put them in too long?
I need to find a new daycare. I told DS's teachers that he is getting a haircut this weekend to get rid of the Justin Beiber look. They said "What's wrong with Justin Beiber??"
I'm arguing with someone I don't know on FB about PP. I mentioned all the good that PP does and his response was "But how do you justify a little evil mixed in with "a lot good"? That's like making brownies with 3% of poop in it. Might taste ok but it's till got poo in it." I'm trying to come up with a decent response because it's my cousin's page, but I'm having a hard time. Any thoughts appreciated.
I mentioned that abortions happen with or without PP, that married women get abortions, and why aren't you arguing for the sanctity of life in regards to the frozen embryos and I got "I don't like that either. I will argue pro-life period. I don't know the answer yet but I think that we need to work towards it." ::::head desk::::
"Not gonna lie; I kind of keep expecting you to post one day that you threw down on someone who clearly had no idea that today was NOT THEIR DAY." ~dontcallmeshirley

How about, as a man, you are certainly allowed to have an opinion but you sure as fuck shouldn't be fighting against the thing I, as a woman, want to do with my body. Once you are able to have a child, I'll let you play.

I think I would have said "no" and handed it back to her, but I am a super bitch these days.

Throw pro life death penalty at him. Pro life period, right?

I mean, that would be the logical thought but like many pro life people I've met he's selectively pro life and really is more pro birth. I'm guessing he's okay with the death penalty because of those found guilty are "evil."
