1. A friend from college is a teacher, so she has a fake FB name so her students can't find her. Let's say her real name is Jen, and she goes by let's say "Sparkle Jen" on FB. She just got married, and gave herself a married name on FB afterwards to Sparkle Jen Love. That's a little +o( to me.
2. My roommate from law school's wife's sister is engaged. Ex-roommate (ER) and his wife have a baby that is almost a year old. ER's sister-in-law, who is getting married soon, is very very close to her mom and sister. But at any rate, ER's SIL's destination bachelorette party was just planned. ER's wife is going of course, as are a bunch of SIL's friends. Their mom is coming along -- I've never heard of that for a destination bachelorette party, but okay. But ER's BABY is going too. Huh?
The Today show just had a segment for plus size fashion. I am still not convinced that the leather leggings trend should be made for larger sizes. Or maybe this is just because I feel like my thunder thighs couldn't pull it off, so I am jealous that there are people out there that have the self confidence to do so?
V- there is so much going on in #2 there that I am not sure I get it all. But the baby part alone is eyebrow-raising worthy.
My randoms-
1. I spent this morning wandering around a hugely celebrated taxidermy shop. It actually was cool and fuss-worthy.
2. I was all set to make a crazy, awesome dinner tonight before I remembered Yom Kippur starts at sundown and DH is fasting. So I need to cancel the plans and make something that won't make DH sad/jealous/annoyed he's not eating with us.
I'm a teacher and keep my FB private, no fake name, no fake marriage. IF a student finds me (it's never happened!) I would decline!! I guess that's just a "DUHHHH!"

I'll put this here just because I need to put it somewhere.
DH has been battling Lyme disease since May, it has been so bad that he has had to go on short term disability. We have seen some improvement in the last couple of weeks but he still is barely able to function.
I think my sister has post partum depression but she keeps dismissing it as lack of sleep. I am taking the day off of work Thursday to spend helping her.
Last night I found out my step daughter who was diagnosed with MS at 17 had another flare-up. I just talked to her. She can barely talk, she can't walk well and has almost no control of her arms. I just broke down sobbing at work when I got off the phone. I don't even know what to do with all this.

({) (}) I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this. It is so unfair. I will be thinking of you all and wishing everyone the best. Please remember to take some time for you as well.

Bragplaint: I wish I knew where in the family I got full lips, since everyone else in my family that I'm acquainted with has thin little bird lips. Way #48357345897 that I stick out at family gatherings.
This was brought on by that fact that I'm having a good lip day and am wearing lipstick.

((hugs kris))
I had a dream that I slow danced with Justin Timberlake because I snuck into an NSYNC reunion. Now I'm sad that 1) it didn't happen and 2) NSYNC is not getting back together.

I wonder this about my nose.
KrisandGrace- I'm sorry you are dealing with so much right now.
My random: I want to move out so badly, but I'm sticking it out for the next few months for financial reasons. I'm just ready to move on with my life.
Big hugs, krisandgrace. That is a hell of a lot to be dealing with.
My random is I have way too much to do at work. I have to run a conference in 2.5 weeks and I can't even get there! I was all set to get a hotel 2 blocks away for the week, but it's booked solid. And nothing else is walking distance.
DH gave me his man cold, even after I told him, don't get me sick (he swore it was allergies). He's currently at home in bed. I'm currently in the last week of the fiscal year at work and unable to take off. Oh is he going to have to make this up to me.
KrisandGrace - I'm so sorry. That's a lot to deal with. I'm really happy to see your dogs back in your siggy, and I'm still totally jealous that you can get them all to sit there for the camera.
1. Yesterday, someone apologized for confusing a vents thread with one for "ransoms." Made me laugh. 2. The eye-rolling smiley on here ( )looks really strange too me, maybe too happy or nonchalant. I want one that looks more fed up, the way I look when I roll my eyes. 3. I find it funny that we keep the thermostat at 68 all winter and don't think twice, but it's 65 in here now and I can't bring myself to turn on the heat. Taking the plunge into oil season feels like a big deal, and I feel guilty for being home while DH is at work.

I want my H to quit smoking. I am so over it. He has said he is "going to quit" soon for about 2yrs. He only smokes outside but then he smells like smoke. He isnt getting any younger. Ugh.
1. DH uses his fun money to get a starbucks coffee every morning. He got his free drink and gave it to me. :heart: 2. I hate it when people use anti-vax articles on line (not peer-reviewed science) as proof that flu shots are bad. I normally stay out of these, but a link to an abstract where ferrets were studied cannot be used to say anything about influenza in people. And secondly, there were no methods in the abstract. We don't even know if this is sound science. :::steps off her soapbox::: 3. My HS-aged sister's teacher asked me to come speak to their class about my job. :Y:
I went to my usual bar to watch the game last night and was cornered by a guy who wanted to tell me all his conspiracy theories (the gov. Is behind Kennedy's death, Bush Sr. Was behind 9/11, blah blah blah.) He had "just smoked a bowl so it's all so clear to me" and "we need to elect a president for the 99%, like the Packers"
He actually asked if I would like to subscribe to his newsletter. I am amused by this whole interaction.

Thanks everyone, I really apriciate it. I was holding it all together until I heard my 22 year old SD strugling to talk on the phone. No kis should have experience that. At least we found out what was wrong with DH and he is now getting treated and I hope to have a better idea of where my sister is on Thursday and get her to call her doctor if she is still not doing well. Sorry to be such a downer!
I just had Cincinatti chilli for breakfast. It was good.
Now I'm watching. "Hell on Wheels" before head to the airport for a work trip. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who watches this show. It's not great, but better than most of what is on TV.

This hurts to read. I'm so sorry you're going through all this. I'll be thinking of you and your family.

and I just put your SN and twitter name together. DUH!
