I was SOOOOOO excited to get my husband this shirt for our anniversary, "Why YES, I"m a real pirate! (Did the beard give it away?)" The etsy vendor that sold it had the text already on the shirts...you just specified size and color.
What did the shirt actually SAY, you ask?!
"Why Yes, I'm a PEAL pirate....."
So, I'm imagining pirates pealing things with their hook hands while writing the vendor a lovely comment

I think H got the job, he needs to call to set up orientation, lol. They never gave him pay info or anything like that but I would assume he should be good? I hope so!

Ha! Why did I think your H shaved his beard, MrsMB? Did he cut his hair and that's what I'm thinking?
I'm not sure if I shared with everyone, but my mom asked me last week to do the eulogy at my grandfather's funeral (that was on Saturday). She said she and her siblings agreed, but I was really stressed about it. It was a lot of pressure, but I do think it went well. I had numerous people (many I'd never met) come up to tell me how great it was. EXCEPT I later found out about one major snag. Apparently as people are offering their condolences to my grandmother after the burial, a close friend of my grandpa shakes her hand and starts raving about the eulogy. She responds by saying "oh how I wish I'd heard more of it....I was having such trouble hearing" I almost died when I heard the story. She was in the front row and I was looking right at her. Anyhow, all I could think to do was print her a copy and give it to her the next day.
On a happier note, I'm going to see Steven Tyler in concert tomorrow AND get to see my mom and dad again since they are watching little man!
MrsMB That's too funny and of course disappointing estrellita Congrats to him!
I don't work until 4, it's been nice to lounge around. I'm pretty stressed mentally with having a lot of uncertainty with my job, like when I'm training and what I'll be making. I don't have a schedule at all next week yet, which doesn't sit well with me. Hoping it gets figured out tonight... Or if not tomorrow...
estrellita- yay- that is a step in the right direction! Hope it is just the first of many for you guys!
wanderingenough- ((hugs)) I am sure she appreciated a copy of the eulogy. Any chance someone got it on video?
We walked to the park, played (which was hilarious because all the equipment was wet and C was not a fan!), and then explored a different route home! Ended up walking 3 miles (not including the hour we were at the park) and found a new route that is beautiful and also took us right by the elementary school the boys will go to.
I got my hair did earlier this afternoon and now I'm getting a much needed pedicure. The lady talked me into the more expensive pedicure because I'm a weeny that can't say no more than a couple of times but OMG does it feel great- spa, massage chair, sugar scrub, hot stone massage, and hot wax. Ahhhh.
I just got an email that we went over our data and will be charged an extra $15 to get us through TOMORROW! Rage!
And DH got a personal credit card a few months ago. I knew this and didn't love the idea because he charges without thinking. I knew he bought electrical supplies as he has spent the last 2 weekends wiring the shop while he had a borrowed scissor lift. He told me he spent under $300 and had to go get a couple more things in one other trip. I just entered everything into YNAB and his card is at $650. Wtf?! He has made extra money doing side jobs lately and was planning on giving me part of it to pay the card. He doesn't know yet but now I'm getting all of it to pay the card.
Ugh, I'm not up for a fight but I see it as a possibility. Trying to stay calm.
ETA: DH text me about the data instantly. He has been streaming Pandora as he worked and went through like 2 gb in 5 days. He apologized and said he would block it. So that's good. I'll talk to him about the credit card later.

bk1 Hs and credit cards apparently do not mix! Not cool!
It is official, he got the pay info and goes in for orientation next week! It's not great pay but we were expecting that. It'll be enough though! Any extra will be awesome!
I am officially off work for 5 days! I am so going to sleep in tomorrow. Plus my vacation request for December was approved today. I can officially start my vacation countdown.
MrsMB My cousin recently ordered her dad (a pastor) a father's day shirt on Etsy and received a Simpsons one with profanity. She just wrapped the package and didn't know until he opened it! hahaha. Talk about a bad gift. Sorry about your failed gift
bk1 I feel your pain on the credit card. I flipped out when I saw several thousand on a card that is usually under a grand. Turns out my H mixed up the dates and two student loan payments were charged within two weeks. Last month was rough with that!
We talked and it went well and was uneventful. He was aware how much was on it, I wasn't. He told me he is going to give me all the extra money he is making to pay for it. I knew he went back to Lowe's but didn't realize the second trip was just as expensive as the first. Thankfully it really should end up being a non-issue.
I also went on our phone account and was able to double our data for only $6 more a month. It also will take the $15 fee off. So while I'm not thrilled about upping a bill (which I will change later if I want to) I am pleased with the doubling data for such a small increase.
