We are almost ready to leave for the shore for the day. Mil niece and nephew are both off from their summer jobs and we wanted to see them before they leave for college. Nephew is starting freshman year and niece is a junior- at the same college. Isn’t that weird? Unusual? It’s like 3 states away so it’s not like a staying local thing. I don’t know. I’d probably be annoyed if my sister followed me a quarter of the way across the country haha but maybe I’m projecting

HRH Queen Dick I, Orphan My family lives in south central PA and I live in NC. I have seen a dramatic reduction in the MAGA signage over the last 2 years on our trips. It may just mean people are going back underground but it has made the trips less rage inducing.

I went to school 4 hours away, and all 4 of us went. I was a freshman when my sister was a junior, and I was a junior when my brother was a freshman. We did our own things, but it was nice to have them close.
We have to pack today. Movers come Friday. I would much rather be outside today since it looks beautiful out, but we have to get this done.
I am hosting a big family meal at my ILs lake house tonight. I didn’t want to be stressed about cooking today, so yesterday, I made a tray of chicken parm, marinara sauce, and a pink sauce - I’ll be cooking linguine and serving it with Italian bread and Caesar salad. Other than packing it up, I am all done. It’s weird. I think I’ll go dye my hair.
Not sure what we're doing during the day but tonight we plan to go to a mini putt/ice cream place. I haven't played mini putt in YEARS! But it sounds fun. They're supposed to have good ice cream we plan to get after.
Our 14 year old schipperke has been having lots of accidents, so h took him to the vet yesterday. They mentioned he could have dementia. ☹️ He’s pretty much deaf, and has cataracts. They heard a heart arrhythmia, so they’re doing some blood work. Has anyone used dog diapers? We have a big rug in the family room, and it’s starting to smell like pee. I try to keep an eye on him when I’m working, but I’m thinking I’m not always catching it when he goes on the rug.
My mother has told me my entire life that I’m mean and “wicked” but you know what? I have a whole lovely life full of good close friends and an awesome family and they all love me and like me. It’s almost like…she’s wrong. 🤷🏼♀️

We live in Illinois. I didn’t buy the mega millions ticket here because DH said he was buying them in South Carolina and it seems like random places (not where we are) usually win. Of course. No idea where in IL yet but still.
Somebody in Illinois won the Mega Millions last night. $1.28bn.
Got a little too excited reading this for someone who didn’t buy a ticket 🤣
LOL. I always wonder when someone wins a big amount if they picked the #s themselves or if the machine picked them (quick pick, I think it's called). And if they picked the #s, were they a set group or random spur-of-the-moment choice?
We have a date night tonight. It was supposed to be a solo night because H was out of town and the kids were going to Grandma’s. He came back early because yesterday was our anniversary. I simultaneously appreciate it and desperately want my alone day! I am never alone!
I just found out I need to travel to Orlando for work next month. I decided to fly out early and do a day at Epcot by myself. Is that really weird? It’s the food and wine fest, which sounded fun.

Not weird at all! Epcot is great and food and wine is super fun. Enjoy!
I'm enjoying a break in the humidity by reading on my deck this morning. It will be hotter later unfortunately. I feel like I've been stuck indoors or uncomfortable outdoors for weeks so I am happy for some pleasant fresh air.
No big plans this weekend other than brunch with a friend/former coworker tomorrow. I haven't seen her in a few months and she is one of my favorite people, so I am looking forward to catching up. We are going to be out of town next weekend, so I guess I should also get a few things done around here that shouldn't wait 2 weeks.

Not weird at all! I am so jealous. I was there a few weeks ago and wish I was there kid free to visit all the countries without their complaining!
krystee, I had a couple of kid-free solo days at Epcot and Hollywood Studios last year and it was way more fun than I'd anticipated. Enjoy the festival!
On a negative note, I discovered squash beetles in my pumpkins yesterday. The vines abruptly died while we were on vacation a week ago, so I'm assuming these assholes were the cause. Between these, the aphids I can't seem to get rid of in my celery, and spider mites in the tomatoes I'm not having the greatest gardening summer.
We drove from OH to NC yesterday, through WV and VA, and did not see even one MAGA flag. I'm shocked, actually. Is this a good sign for sane people?
We don't have that shit where I live so I don't know.
We did that drive from MI a few months ago and there was an area in OH, I think around Columbus, that could probably make up for anything you didn't see. There were multiple tents selling MAGA shit all along the road

DS1 woke me up because he wanted to buy something for a game he was playing on his tablet. I am so irritated. Not cool, man.
No real plans for today. Getting laundry done, grocery shopping, and maybe starting some meal prep stuff. H and DS2 get home late this evening. We’ll go pick them up from the airport. I’m so excited to hug my baby.
I went to dinner and drank a lot of wine with some girlfriends last night. I then came home and picked a fight with DH. I feel like crap is more ways than one.
