Confession: I haven't brushed my teeth yet this morning. I keep saying I'll do it after I'm done with my coffee...and then getting another cup of coffee. Judge me as you will.
I really don't like this time of year. Christmas/NYE is over, football is almost over, and the days are still very short. I make full use of my SAD light and make sure I up my intake of Vitamin D.

Our dog licked the turkey that we served to our guests. We didn't tell anyone. They thought it was delicious.
Did YOU GUYS eat it, too, or just the guests? Who consumed the parts actually licked by the dog?
ETA: And in the spirit of keeping with the "How my morning has sucked already," I present to you ... my breakfast debacle, involving a brand new jar of popcorn and my dog's newly refilled water dish:
My ILs just left after a visit. Overall their visit was great and I really enjoyed it, but their food attitudes make me crazy.
They are OBSESSED with not wasting food! If there was only a little food left after a meal they would want to pass it around having everyone take some until it's all eaten.
Meanwhile, FIL has been on some kind of fad diet as long as I've known him. This time it involves fasting twice a week. Seems legit.

My scalp is so so so dry. It's to the point where it hurts. I'll be slathering coconut oil on my head tonight and Google says I have to leave it on for a minimum of 45 minutes. This better work, something has to fix this.
When I do this, I add a few drops of tea tree oil to the coconut oil, it is super soothing to my scalp.
January is so, so bleak. It's the worst month. Cold, dark, holiday letdown. And February isn't much better, I feel like I'm just trying to survive til March. I feel so grumpy this time of year.

I was singing while I took my son to daycare this morning, I don't know how stay at home moms do it. I was home with him for 12 days and I was ready to lose my mind. It makes me feel a little guilty because he didn't want me to leave.
Confession/Vent: I've been on a few dates with a great guy. For probably the first time since the separation/divorce, this is a guy who I'm not seeing any major problems with so far. And I think it's scaring me. I've dated plenty of people, some for up to 2 months at a time, but I kind of knew in the back of my head that there was some major mis-match and it wouldn't last. There very well could be some mis-match with this guy, but I'm not seeing it. Which means that I might actually have to sort out my feelings about being emotionally attached to someone again. So I had a good cry last night. I had a great date, and I cried about it. I just want to be a normal fucking human again. Apparently not any time soon.

Yep. After January first, I'm pretty much just on "squeeze my eyes shut and deal" until late March. I really belong in a warmer climate.

So I haven't watched Making A Murderer, but I've been reading all of the posts here.
One thing I keep thinking, is how much faith everyone puts into the jury system - yet how few people who would actually make good jurors actually want to serve on jury duty. People are always trying to get out of it, bitch and moan about it, it's never convenient, yada yada yada. Then we wonder why the jury didn't do well.

I just spilled coffee all over my new 2016 calendar at work. I know I am one of the last to keep track of all work things on a paper calendar but it works for me. Now I have to go get a new one, this one is ruined.

I served on a jury once. That experience alone will keep even the most deranged individual on the straight and narrow. Two of the dumbest people I've ever encountered almost blew the entire thing. The thought of people like that deciding my fate is terrifying. Interestingly enough, two of the men had some colorful criminal histories, but they were easily the most thoughtful and insightful jurors in the room - even as we decided to convict. I really liked them and hope they're still doing well.
