Whine: What little of an extrovert I have in me has been entirely used up. 2 TV appearances and 2 newspaper interviews in the past week with another newspaper thing next week. I know its cool and exciting, but this is so not my thing. And I really wish i was skinnier
Wine: Spreading the normalcy of gay parenting and sharing our fam's story is always wonderful.
ct - you must be exhausted!!!! I hope you get some "you" time this week! Feel free to come by and have some with me, and some wine
Whine - y'all saw my post. tough day. we all have 'em
Wine - there really is so much wonderful happening in my life right now. i have a lot to feel good about, and i do. feeling really lucky overall, and super excited for all that this year might bring.
Wine: I'm excited to go to Thailand. I'm getting back on top of some work stuff that really needed to get moving. There is an ever so slight chance that I could make a big work change (same job, different borough) that would possibly be awesome. DW told me that maybe maybe maybe with a lot of ifs she might be open to the idea of me spending some time being a SAHM after we eventually have a child. I think I'm back on a roll of going to the gym.
Whine: When it was first suggested, the work thing sounded like it was almost definitely happening. Now it's downgraded to slight chance. But reflecting on it has made me realize that without all the other life stress maybe my current job isn't the hell I sometimes think it is. My efforts at dieting have not been going well. I swear I'm hungry all the freaking time.

Wine: I finally got my wife to give up the paci. She's cried about it way more than DD has. Poor DW.
Whine: I am coming to realize that I'm pretty much "over" my job. I haven't dreaded coming to work in the 10 years I've worked here until now, and I don't like how grumpy it is making me in the morning.
wine: Paci's have been "mailed" to the little baby that needs them!
I need to know about this BABY that needs the paci. L uses a paci and I am worried we will never get rid of it. She only uses it to sleep (it does not leave the crib) and she uses one in the car (not sure why) but if she does not have it she is a moaning feene and just does not settle. 18 months old and still with the paci. S wll use a paci but sucks her thumb so its a loss there. How old is yours I dont remember?

The twins will be 3 in March (YIKES!) Our Peanut loves (loved) her paci. I had a hard time taking it from her because how much it would soothe her. Well, we had been explaining to her that she is a big girl and there is a baby that needs it to help her (the baby) go to sleep. Yesterday we rounded up the paci's and put them in a box to "mail" them to the baby. Happily, Peanut did well last night. Sadly, while I was getting something out of my backpack here at work I found my emergency paci for her...
Whine: I checked our oil tank gauge late yesterday afternoon and it showed half full which didn't make too much sense, since we haven't had it filled in a long time. I put it in my phone to call today. Last night around 10pm we figured out why we were so cold. No heat. I cannot imagine how much the emergency oil delivery is going to cost.
Whine: No matter what temperature it is, our bedrooms are steaming hot, we actually have the heat turned off upstairs, so I considered not calling until the morning (MOTY) for a delivery, just to avoid the crazy emergency fee but was worried about freezing pipes. So we had a delivery and guess what? The fucking pipe froze.
Wine: The pipe finally thawed after 9.5 hours of applying heat. It didn't burst.
Wine: I called the gas company to see if it was on our street and it is! We're converting this summer.
ETA: This is Quinny - for some reason, I'm still able to log in as my old screen name on my phone but not on the new site. ??

Whine: I'm in a really negative place right now. I feel stuck and I'm not sure what to do. I feel like no one quite "gets" what's going on for me and I don't have the words to express it.
Wine: I had an unusually spiritual moment in yoga class last night, in pigeon pose. In the absence of any other plan to get unstuck, "spend more time in pigeon pose" sounds reasonable. C is the light of my life, and the only thing I am always sure about.
