Good job hoobs, and i am thankful Nicole that they're handling it!
My other random is we're going to try to take pacifiers away over labor day weekend because in the mess of getting them to stop napping in swings, and them gaining more awareness, they can't nap without it (though don't need it to stay asleep, thank good). I'm hoping it works and they learn to go to sleep on their own. This is something i am adamant about in theory but with one waking the other etc, we've let it slide...
ido - the last time we went to Chuck E Cheese, my H and I were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked their pizza Have fun!
I've heard they have good pizza! We are getting there early so hopefully it won't be too crowded. The one we are going to is newer and cleaner than others and has a great toddler area, according to word on the street. lol.
I HATE Chuckey Cheese. Hate it. I leave with a headache every time. The service is horrible and every time I get wine there, they bring it to me cold (it's red wine). But the kids LOVE that freaking place and the pizza is actually really good. It's worth it for the kids.
Group texts annoy me! My friend texted a couple of us about a wake and now it turned into a conversation between two of them. Text each other! it's aww your baby is so cute, give her kisses and she I love her.
I am suppose to go out tonight for drinks with my friend but she always cancels plans with everyone. I will be shocked if we go out.
I get so weirdly defensive when some one bashes my city (Quesera, I'm looking at you). It's a knee jerk reaction that doesn't even make sense. I grew up in Edmonton, it is a shitty city. And I live in Calgary. It's so much better than Edmonton, and I really do like living here, but most of the things I've gone to defend about it are kinda true.

I want to go to the Stampede. I've heard its awesome.
I walked the long way into work today, and some asshole walked about 3 steps behind me the whole way, no matter how slow or how fast I went - and I took it down to s snails pace at one point just to see. I hope he enjoyed the view of my ass. Dirtbag.
-I wish it was Friday. I'm flying home today and it would be great to blow off the rest of the day, but unfortunately my to-do list is about a mile long.
-I'm excited to see my H when I get home. Between his work trips, my work trips, and both of our fun trips last weekend, I think we've seen each other 2 days in the past 2 weeks.
-I need a massage.
-My ankle hurts from walking around in heels in Vegas. They weren't even stripper high. It's been over 3 months since I sprained it. I wonder if it will eventually feel better, or if this is just the way my ankle is now. It feels fine walking (and running), but apparently I can't handle heels right now. Boo.
-I definitely get defensive is someone attacks my city. Our first few years in CA we got a lot of, "Good thing you got out of THERE!" when we told them we were from Michigan. Yeah, thanks so much for insulting the place where I grew up. I can't see us ever moving, short of a job-related move, but I still love Michigan and Detroit.
I made H and I smoothies for breakfast this morning and managed to knock his over and spill the whole thing in the freezer. It's a bottom drawer kind of freezer and it got everywhere so I was late for work because we were emptying out the freezer and cleaning everything.

That's all I have.
It is pretty awesome. The entire city shuts down and parties for a week.

DH is OOT and for some reason I miss him more than usual. So much that I slept on my side of the bed only last night, instead of sprawling across the whole thing like I usually do when he's gone; because it felt more like he was there.
Some of the posts here this week -- the ones about "why would anyone be friends with Sheldon from TBB" and the guy who made inappropriate compliments to his prof -- have really bummed me out because they remind me what my kid is up against. DD1 has autism. Sheldon's character is kind of a poster boy for Aspergers, and the context of the other scenario just sounded so spectrum-ish to me.
It's so hard, seeing these reactions and knowing that in a few years, that's very likely going to be my kid (who loves to give compliments because she gets a positive reaction). Knowing that your child's brain is wired so differently that she/he will inevitably come off as weird, annoying, stupid or creepy to other people, who will give them no benefit of the doubt. I thank God she's a girl, because at least hopefully she won't be seen as a threat or predator.
Last week on my run I noticed a pair of shoes sitting perfectly at the edge of the path near the river. I've seen them every run since then, including today. I can't figure out how someone lost two shoes and didn't notice. Or why they just set them down perfectly, left them there, and never came back. I'm assuming that someone dropped the shoes and someone else put them neatly near the path. But who knows!
I pondered this for a long time on my run today. Hey, whatever passes the time 'fore the sun comes up!
