"The stain" turned into a huge thing yesterday with my husband finally admitting at 9 last night that it looked horrible but he worked really hard on it so he was bummed and couldn't express that.
I'm in such a funk today. We haven't fought in a really long time and I just feel so blah.

Sorry about the fighting. But I'm glad you guys were able to talk about it and he was able to express his disappointment in the end.
les, sorry about the breakup, that sucks, but yay for breakfast :-)
It's my work Monday. Meaning, DD goes to daycare and I have the house to myself all day to prep for teaching the class I adjunct for, prep a couple of other lectures and a speech I'm giving this month. I woke up at 6am to start working and holy CRAP is it cold on our main floor. 40 degrees outside and 55 downstairs. Fall is here, I guess.
I'm rubbing about an hour behind this morning. Just got to the office, and my stupid voicemail light is blinking. I thought I set my phone to "out of the office" before I left. Happy friggin Monday.
Sorry for the fights and breakup hopefully today is a better day.

Sorry about the breakup les and the fight gogreengowhite. I hope things are looking up soon.
My sister got engaged over the weekend! I hate that I have mixed feelings about this--he is a very nice guy, but they are not on a level financial playing field. I hate that they split things evenly instead of proportionally (he makes significantly more than my sister) and given her a hard time about having student loans (so she is now working 2 jobs to pay them off faster). I'm afraid he will always hold money over her head, especially if she becomes a sahm.
I hope these were all just relationship growing pains and they find middle ground. Because no one wants to know what happens when you fuck with my sister.
Wyatt hasn't had any hot spots since we switched his food in the middle of July! Yay!
I added back in his dehydrated food, which is heavy in potatoes and flax. He's been licking his paws a lot at night, so I didn't give it to him last night. Barely any licking. If it holds true for a few days, this is great because it'll help us narrow down his allergies. On the other hand, potato and flax is in EVERYTHING. We still have to test peas, and if that causes him issues we're really in a pickle with our options.

Sorry to hear but at least he knew in his heart that the piece didn't look right...I didn't mention because I was on my phone yesterday. But in 2001, DH (then BF) made me a dresser for Xmas. It was a work in progress at the time, but he was sooo excited. As was I. It was a piece we found together from Restoration Hardware, and he copied it. It is gorgeous. But I wanted it stained. He tried. It turned out like your table. We sanded it together and he stained it again. Again, horrible. And he builds a lot of furniture. But this was his first time trying to stain. We sanded it again. 10 years later, he finished it with tongue oil. Gorgeous. But it sits this way in my bedroom today. The drawers have never been finished, so it is only the outside casing. He's "gifted" the finishing to me many times over the years. He finally told me he got so pissed over the staining that he's no longer excited to work on it. So there is sits. And my clothes are in piles all over the room because I have no place to put them. Hopefully you'll get your table sooner rather than later and its all you (and YH) hoped it would be.
My random is truly random. So, this was hanging in a tree in the parking lot of my grocery store. WHAT IS IT AND WHY IS IT HANGING THERE? (yes, I had to take a picture just for MM)
What is it made of?
Is it a parking indicator so people don't pull all the way into the tree? I've seen people hang tennis balls in garages for that (never in a public area).
Can we all cross our fingers that H hears a firm yes or no today on his job prospect? I need closure. And to know if I can order new couches from Potter Barn's Labor Day sale.

I was thinking about you this weekend, I hope he hears back very very soon!

This is a major red flag for me. Huge. Ugh.
I'm sorry, les, and I hope you guys move past it all soon, gogreengowhite.

les I liked you post for the free breakfast not the breakup. My random is I have a cricket in my house. I can't find it becuase the thing goes into silent mode when I get close. It is driving me crazy!
This week is going to be so awful. Can I just skip right to next Monday? Sales guy apparently knows I'm preggo despite me never having said a word. My ILs are staying for the weekend, and I will be shocked if this weekend doesn't end with me kicking them out of our house for saying I am going to be a terrible mother.
Also, there is DRAMA at my church, and I have no one with whom I can gossip about it.
We are here for you. (devil)
It's boring!
My parents were both teachers for one of the church's grade schools and I am thoroughly aware of church politics within the larger church body, and it's boring to anyone without that level of vested interest .
Essentially the pastor has been kicked out of the larger church body because of theological differences, and has told the congregation that they can either find a new pastor or leave the synod affiliation to join his church of the somewhat crazy .
I just moved the king bed / frame to the other side of the room (flipped what wall it was on) by myself. Now I'm too tired to move the dresser etc / reassemble the mattress.
I realized yesterday over brunch that I've been working for myself for almost 2 years! I've worked on some incredible projects and have met incredible people. I always dreamed of having a career of my own and I have it. I'm so grateful for the place I'm in right now.
Fast forward to today when I learn that a great man is gone to soon. A man who has inspired millions. Today will be a difficult day at the office.
I'm annoyed. Refresher on who I'm talking about. E is my husband's BFF. C is E's wife who was always asking my husband to come over and help her while E was gone. C cheated on E with E's BFF of 20 years. They were going to get divorced, but I guess they worked things out? Idk. She's constantly threatening divorce.
My husband has a gym membership that allows him to bring ONE guest every time he goes. I go with him about half the time. Well E has decided that he may want to start going to the gym, so my husband has offered to take E every day this week. I am between exams, so I had already told my husband that I want to go with him every day this week. Now I can't go. Oh and E said that if he likes the gym, he is going to sign up and bring C with him. So basically I'm going to have to hang out with C if I go to the gym. If I don't go, I'm sure it will be my husband, E, and C working out together. I'm not okay with his. I really hate how C turns me into such a jealous person.
