Last week was a total blur, we moved and all of our belongings are still in disarray. We did get the kitchen unpacked and I have some clothes but everything else is in boxes in our living room.
I absolutely love love love our new house and the neighbors I have met seem really nice!

I posted yesterday about my neighbor asking to borrow my car. She just came and got it and was very appreciative. I think its just a case of texts not giving the whole picture and now makes sense why she asked.
If it doesn't come back with a full tank of gas though (it has one now), my opinion will change lol
I really need to order groceries NOW since we are out of basically everything and IDK what we'll even have for lunch if I don't.
But I am totally uninspired and have no idea what to make this week. I originally had planned to have a Home Chef box delivered, but apparently when I reactivated my account it had super outdated information in it and I didn't think to check. Thank goodness they couldn't process my payment on my outdated card, because they also would have sent my box to Iowa. Oops. I haven't lived there in over 4 years! I guess I haven't used Home Chef in a while.
We also need to vote at some point today. I am still not sure who I'm voting for on a few things, because I procrastinated on my research. So I guess I'm kind of a disorganized mess over here today.

I can never tell if I actually clicked that I liked a post. So I end up liking it, removing the like, and clicking I like it again. I hope people don't get multiple notifications of that.
I'm getting my nose pierced this afternoon and a new tattoo on Friday. My mid-life crisis is in full swing LOL
Oooh, where is your tatoo going and what are you getting?
I read an article that stated "tramp stamps are making a come back". Wtf. I get that it's click bait, but who calls it that and how could you not realize that's offensive af?

Yes! Like, I know we called them that in the 90s but uhhh, it’s not the 90s anymore
Our fire alarm went off twice last night. I must have been in a very deep sleep the second time because I woke up in a panic and it took forever to come down from the adrenaline high. I feel like shit today because of it (more so than usual LOL). I am so sick of shitty, interrupted sleep. If it isn't the kids, it is some other bullshit like this. I miss sleep.
I was planning to take a half day Thur, but people keep moving meetings there and now I can't and I am not happy about it.

I'm getting a lavender sprig on my inner forearm. I love lavender and have it all over my house. I have 9 other tattoos, but this will be the first one I'm getting on my arm. And I'm also scheduled for the end of September to get a much larger commemorative tattoo on my other arm, and that will be a recreation of one of my Dad's tattoos.

When H started his car yesterday, it sounded horrible. He was running late and just stopped it and took my car to work instead. Someone tried to get his catalytic converter. Ugh wtf. My class for summer 2 was canceled, tuition payments have started for both kids, now is NOT THE TIME

My H and I did a sunset bike ride last night on a whim. We live by an interurban trail that goes over a lake. It was beautiful. Being pelted by lightning bugs while we raced the dark home was totally worth it, lol.
I think we’re going to head to the drive in tonight. The double feature is Thor 4 and Top Gun: Maverick. I’m going to be tired as hell tomorrow, but the kids come back this weekend from a stay at their Nana’s, so we’ve got to cram the kid-free fun in!

I saw that article too and actually said "ew" out loud. Where in the world were the editors on that one?!?!
I’m riding high on ice cream machine power and already prepped some sorbet this morning. Everything’s getting frozen!
I finally called my regular eye doctor’s office to see if my contacts are in and they called me back after hours to tell me they’ve been in for 3 weeks. They never called and at the time of my appointment said it would take three weeks. She was like “we were going to send them back”. Um? I already paid and they never called. Or texted. I was giving them time to do their jobs. She apologized for the “misunderstanding” I had. What misunderstanding? I hate that office so much! I stopped getting my glasses there but thought they could handle contacts. Maybe not. My doctor is great so I don’t want to switch entirely.

I agree that's an offensive name, but I thought that was just kind of what people called them? Note, I have one, lol.
My friend who works at a tattoo shop was actually just telling me that her younger sister (who is around 20) was looking to get a tribal lower back tattoo. I was like "do you want to show her a picture of mine so she can see how stupid it looks in 20 years?".
I have been seriously thinking about getting a tattoo for a few years now, but haven't fully decided on where to get it. Is the inside of your bicep a weird place? For some reason I don't really want it on my shoulder/outer bicep but I do want it to be in a place where people can see it, including myself (so, not on my back). It will be a few flowers, so not giant but not tiny either.

I really like the look of an inner bicep tattoo, so I say go for it!

It's my DS's birthday today and he turned 13! We officially have a teenager in the family now. I'm trying not to cry thinking about how fast the time has gone.

I love the way these tattoos look! But I didn't get mine there because I was worried about really saggy skin as I get older lol. So I opted for my inner forearm and love that too.
I’ve decided I’m going to bail on my company’s global sales meeting in Vegas at the end of August. I was super pumped to go, but they just announced that they’re no longer requiring vaccines for people to attend, I just found out it’s global and not US only (I do have concerns about global strains that haven’t made their way here yet), some people I was looking forward to spending time with aren’t going anymore, FI is starting a new job a week before the trip and I don’t want to come home and potentially expose him when he just started a new job, and the last event my company had in Vegas a month ago ended up being a super spreader event.
I’m so disappointed that this is what it’s come to. I was really looking forward to it, but with the way cases are popping up like crazy, I just can’t bring myself to still attend. I’m sad.
Our network ALWAYS goes down before a big meeting. ALWAYS. Everyone was in, then get kicked out 10 minutes before. It's a mess. How is this an issue 2+ years into this.
Our new mattress was just delivered, of course at the same time the meeting is starting. Quick and easy delivery thankfully. The new bed takes up so much less space than the old one because of the design.
Now just waiting to see what time my surgery will be tomorrow. I really hope it's in the morning because I still have a huge bruise from bloodwork on my one good vein.
Ooooh tacokick, that would piss me off. Don't imply this is MY fault.
That is my number one pet peeve. It really seems like the default with customer service/doctor offices lately. So much “apologizing” for my confusion or misunderstanding. I’m not confused, buddy.

bex1973, I started my team chat this morning with "How is it only Tuesday?" Yesterday really felt like 3 days rolled into 1, so it's extra annoying that today isn't yet Thursday, haha.
I have a lot of meetings this week, and they are spread out just enough that I can't really do much in between them. Which is good they aren't back to back as at least half of them will run over, but it's also annoying that I have weird increments of downtown and not enough of it to really start a couple projects I need to get moving on.
arielroux my H has wanted to go to a yearly conference with his company in Vegas since April 2020. It kept getting delayed/canceled (rightfully so) except the last one which was a super spreader event. H's boss nixed it for his employees thankfully. Up until covid it was a great networking event for H and he enjoyed it every year.
I think I want to get a jean jacket. I'm sure they are now going out of style, but I have a few maxi's that I think I would like to wear with.
Now just to find one that I like and doesn't make me look funny.
I never thought of myself as a jean jacket person, but I love this one. IMO, it runs a little large. I was able to order a size down from my usual. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MVY8KWX/
