I am excited to get my hair cut tonight. I hate my hair so very much. The front is stick straight and doesn't hold a curl, and the back is super thick and wavy. 99% of the time I just throw it in a ponytail and I hate myself for doing that. It's lazy and makes me look like a penis but it's so easy I just can't help it.
So I want to get some bangs that I won't be able to pull back, just to force myself to do something with my hair. I'm going in armed with this picture.

Last night SIL and FBIL posted a before and after pic of this skillet deep dish pizza they made. The after looked absolutely gross. It was burnt badly, the toppings all slid to one side, they had used shredded cheese that melted unevenly and they hadn't rolled the dough evenly so there were these love-handle things... and all they got were a million "omfg that looks so delish! Gimmie!!!!111!!!!!yuM!!" Even from other BIL. I now think that everyone that said that it looked has no taste in pizza. And we're all Chicagoans. So sad.

I'd like to say, on behalf of all lurkers who have made their pantaloons purchases, thank you for the pantaloons posts. @angryharpy -- the skimmies rule!
Yay for 4am teleconferences! And thank goodness for hot tea with caffeine (not a coffee drinker).
It's Tuesday here, but I'll go with a random from yesterday.
I assembled a couple fans for our apartment - we're hoping they'll help keep our a/c bills down this summer.
Previously, we had a fan, but it was a 110V fan, and DH (in a haze of being overheated, I guess), plugged it into a 220V outlet.
I am now going thru the process of labeling everything in the house that is not dual-voltage with "must use transformer/110V only". Because my non-technically inclined husband can't remember that things with motors and things with heating elements need transformers... (except for the items we have purchased locally, which are 220V. this may be the source of his confusion, because some things are OK, and some aren't)
Because we don't own a label maker, I am using lengths of duct tape wrapped around the cord, near the plug. Ugly, but effective...
My BM dress for BIL's wedding arrived today...I'm a little nervous to try it on because I've gained weight since I ordered it. Luckily I was in between sizes and ordered the larger size.
I have a first world problem. I still haven't ordered my anniversary gift for H. Our annivesary was 3 weeks ago. They have a cute bracelet that I want but it comes in either silver, yellow gold, or platinum with diamonds. I just wanted it plain in either white gold or platinum...no diamonds. So I've been putting it off because I can't decide if I want it in silver or not and I don't want to pay for shipping twice. So I finally decide to go ahead today and called them. My order was in and ready to go and I figured...what the hell and asked him to confirm that they don't have it in white gold. He should have just said no, but nooo, he tells me they have it in 18k rose gold. So now I still haven't ordered it.
I watched almost the entire series of The Baby Sitters Club on Netflix this morning while I was working. The 11 year old inside of me was so, so excited.
I had an episodes on VHS, and I remembered every line and every moment of Claudia and the Haunted House.
One of my coworkers just asked me if I wanted to carpool to work with her this summer. I am way more excited about this than I probably should be. I think this might be my "in" to the cool kids carpool.
This has been the day from hell. I flew to my dietetic internship orientation this morning. DH ended up driving me to the airport at 4:30 am, despite our previous plans for me to take myself, because I basically had a nervous breakdown. The airline spelled my name wrong on the boarding pass and tried to charge me a fee to fix it, even though i had documentation that it was entered correctly. Right as the plane was waiting to get on the runway, it turned around and went back to the terminal bc a passenger was sick. Right as she was walking by my seat, she passed out and started vomiting on the floor in the aisle. Paramedics had to come and then they had to clean the plane. Then we get back to the runway and the plane is having mechanical issues. Wtf? Our plane ended up running late, obviously. Finally get to my destination and realize I left important an important document at home so now DH has to overnight them... He's not a happy husband today.
I still haven't heard back from the new job that the background check is complete. I noticed today that they are still posting the job listing. I am now paranoid that they are making sure there isn't a better option out there and going slow on my background check.

I just spent a lot of time trying to explain 0% balance transfers to my coworker. He insists the 0% for 18 months means he makes no payments for 18 months and he's wondering why he's getting collection calls. He hasn't made payments for months. I told him he still needs to make payments towards the balance to try to pay it off before the 18 months are up. He plans to make a payment sometime before next April. I tried.
"Dear Diary, I have decided to plead with the authorities to rub my belly. I think it would do me good in my current condition. I would like to receive 2 rubs exactly. A third one and I will bite the shit out of the last per protocol. Wish me luck."
