Am I crazy? Our local police department asked me if I wanted to join them in a special run they are doing today. COOL. Only that it's not going to be cool - it's going to be 90 degrees and the run is on pavement in the most developed part of the city at 1pm. Yikes. I brought lots of sunblock.

You're crazy.
I hate being hot.
A fun little story:
I was driving last night and hit a possum. The first mammal I've ever killed. There was no time for me to even hit my breaks, just a thump under my car. I instantly teared up and said "I'm a murderer!". H patted me on the head and assured me there was nothing I could have done.
We get home and I go to take the kid out of the car seat. I feel something on my foot and looks down and all I see is a grey and black shape. I scream at the top of my lungs, the kid starts to cry and my H runs over to see what's wrong.
What I thought was the possum coming to avenge his death was just my son's stuffed donkey that fell out of the car when I opened the door.
Got to see one of the nice, new neighbors on our floor this morning. It brightened the day a bit, he is extremely nice.
I barely see workplace crush anymore
I have to talk to DH and see if he wants to go to graduation with me. The last time I mentioned it, his initial response was "Do I have to go?" and then he followed it up with "Do you *have* to go?". Um, yeah, I have to go. I won't force him to go though because I know he's not comfortable around the people I work with.
PS, that is horrifying and hilarious all at once. I would've done tge same thing.
Monday night, I tweaked a muscle (more than one maybe) on my left side in the neck & shoulder area. I've been taking muscle relaxants and ibuprofen regularly since, but it still hurts. I don't want to bug my doctor since I'm going in for a physical next week, but I also want the pain to stop. So this is really more of a whine than a random.
PS, I would have needed a Valium after that. I am so weirdly sensitive to animals living. Which is sort of weird because I am seriously considering taking up falconry. Tiramisu - I hate when I do stuff like that to my muscles. I have a neighbor who is a massage therapist and single dad so I paint his little girls nails in exchange for muscle fixing. I hope he never moves. DL, that run sound hot but exciting! It will probably be a really fun event.
My randoms. River cat still can't go outside. We both resent each other at this point. Three more days and you can run free tiny cat! I made pulled pork in my crock pot over night and my house smells amazing. Nom Nom Nom. I bought a second charger for my laptop because I got sick of unplugging it in my bedroom to carry it to my sewing room. (Approx.10 feet) I am very lazy.

Actually, that's sort of genius. I keep getting annoyed with H because he moves the charger from place to place and never puts it back on the desk. I even think I have an extra universal laptop charger somewhere.

Our poor foster pup had a UTI from having to hold it in so long in his previous home. He went to the vet yesterday and was already feeling better once he got home and got some medicine in him. We've already seen a ton of progress in his behavior in just a few hours. So so happy about this.
And you guys.... we're waiting for our own TIP post about what happened yesterday! I read the one on ML and it sounds interesting. I would have LOVED to sit down with a nervous IT person and picked their brain a bit.
Randoms: I have had three dates with this guy who is a true Minnesotan personality (which makes me laugh - welcome back gault), goofy in an adorable way, has a 4 month old puppy who made my heart melt, great kisser... it's just all good. Plus he is hot. I went on a first date with someone else a few days ago and kept wanting to see this other dude instead. Definite possibilities.
Phone interview today and another tomorrow! One is for a few different higher ed jobs, and the other is for an HR position. I applied for both of these in the last two days. they moved fast.
Raise the roof that Michelle Bachmann is not seeing reelection.

I want to high five the faces of all the people I work with today. I'm cranky.
I wore my new wedges today and stepped on a rock in the parking lot at DS's daycare and almost fell on my face. Perhaps I need walking lessons...
I find it ridiculous that my bosses both gave me crap for taking the day off last friday, and here it is 9:30 and neither one of them has even called the office yet...

My boss and I are both looking for something to make it all go away. I have decided that something is booze.
I was left off an e-mail that contained a very important piece of information regarding something that had to be out today. So it went out and was totally wrong. But I had no idea, so now I have to scramble and get it fixed before I leave at 2:30 to take my sick little boy to the doctor.
PS I am dying at my desk over your story. I think it might be the best part of my day. Sorry you killed a opossum and then were scared.
I am physically and mentally exhausted. I left Tuesday morning for an installation in Chicago. I worked a lovely 16+ hours then woke up the next day at 5 am to work some more and then caught a flight home, arriving at my door at 1145pm. I feel like a zombie.
Partially Sunny the first night there, dog tired and fed up with everything I arrived to my hotel room to find a warm chocolate chip cookie and ice cold milk. It made that day better.
Today a all of the things you listed are going to happen. Pizza and a beer sound so goo.

I went to the gym today and for some reason I'm not a big fan of working out next to FI. I just want to be all sweaty and gross looking by myself. I've also had two bizarre dreams about a crush I had in college that I haven't spoken to in over two years.
It just hit me today that one of my kiddos is graduating in 2 weeks, which means I won't see him again after that. It was sudden and got me really sad. I'm going to miss working with him.
