4th of July evening randoms

[pantsparty]

H and I are going to see Absinthe tonight. It better be good, kevin arnold!

I complained to H that I wasn't sure my dress tonight wasn't slurry enough for Vegas. He was not empathetic, LOL.

[TrickyBob]

We never did go anywhere today. We both fell asleep and woke up around 6pm. We went to visit his grandparents and have not run into SIL yet. No one is thrilled with her and from the sounds of it, no one is interested in attending her wedding. In fact, she handed the grandparents their save the date and all she said was "you better start saving your money." That didn't sit well with them. I don't blame them. Other wise, we had a good time visiting with them. Tomorrow we will try his other grandparents and such.

[vicky]

I'm really tired. I had to buy allegra cream for the amount of mosquito bites I got tonight. I am going to need benadryl to sleep tonight because I have huge welts.

We saw H's ex again tonight. I gave her a cupcake and was very sweet to her. I'm proud of myself.

H admitted today that Blurred Lines is a catchy song.

Apparently, he was listening to my radio station while driving my car yesterday when it came on. He NEVER listens to or likes that kind of music. I was humming it earlier while I was reading and he recognized it, so I put on the music video to confirm it was the song he was thinking of, and he admitted that he thought the video was pretty hilarious. You guys have no idea how shocked I am. He's been walking around the house singing it at me for the past hour.

[RoxMonster]

We took Rox on a walk tonight and she is skittish of other dogs if they come right at her, but she is fine on walks because we just cross the street if a dog is coming right at us and she will not even react then.

Tonight we're almost home and some idiot has their dog out in the front yard OFF leash. I notice it and sit her, trying to block her with my body, but it of course runs across the street right at her. It's owner was walking after it, calling its name and not thinking it's a big deal. Of course Roxie got defensive and freaks out. H is trying to tend to her and calm her down while I block her from the other dog and try shooing it away. The owner finally gets it to come back.

This is why we have leash laws. Ugh it pisses me off so much. It never should have happened.

Lol @ slurry!

We had a kit to grow our own mushrooms (not the psychedelic kind!) and I tried one today. It tasted terrible.

My laptop is possessed by the devil and is randomly playing music/cooking shows/ads when it boots up. H is putzing with it to try to figure out what's wrong. So weird!

my brother asked me once if he thought our parents would be upset if he used his dresser for growing mushrooms (the psychedelic kind).  it was a vintage steel hospital dresser.  I lol'd in his face.

[softspot]

I'm having a bad gastro week & think it's time to see a specialist.

I got the job!

[Deleted]

It's 10:19 and I'm lying in bed. I'm tired from day drinking and too much sun. Oh, and listening to the racist, offensive remarks made by SO's parents. Ugh.

Zyrtec! For real. It's amazing for mosquito bites. Also helps with poison ivy, keeps H from needed cortisone shots.

I worked all day long and the only thing that I want to do is have my head hit the pillow. I'm exhausted and work was mob scene because of everyone doing their last minute shopping for their parties. I was so glad to get out of there.

Both kids passed out before fireworks so we're stuck at home listening to them instead. We found a show called 'Drunk History' on Hulu and laughed our asses off instead.

How have you not known about this?  It might be one of the 10 best things on the internet.

It just popped up on Hulu.  Apparently they're airing it on Comedy Central.  And I live under a rock :-)

Welp.  DH and BIL (my favorite sister's H--was a Marine, just got out and they just moved back home) were discussing the Trayvon/Zimmerman case.  BIL didn't know what we were talking about, I started to explain the case (internally like wtf how do you not know this) and he goes..."oh, that n**** kid."  And without thinking I said something along the lines of watch your fucking mouth don't ever say that word around my kid again.

Shit got a little awkward.  Sorry I'm not sorry.

[TrickyBob]

I'm eating toaster strudel and just finished a giant glass of wine mixed with sherbet.


Sugar rush anyone?

[margotmacomber]

Also, last night I had a dream that I was being chased by dinosaurs.  One of my favorite movies evah is Jurassic Park and I am not ashamed to admit that.  I'm actually watching it right now on Starz.  But seriously, why did I dream about that.  I was terrified and running, and lost DD with some random in an elevator that was getting away from the dinosaur but I didn't make it to fast enough.   (huh)

[Yankees21]

Today was a great day, nothing beats 4th of July on the lake. However, I'm really regretting not taking tomorrow off work. Rookie mistake!

Good for you. I'm dreading seeing some close-minded extended relatives at the end of this month with the Zimmerman case, the abortion bill in tx, paula deen shit, and the defeat of doma. I hope I have the courage to do what you did.

I wish I could say it was courage, it was more like rampant disbelief and the fact that my mouth runs faster than my brain most of the time.  :/  But I told my sister when he went to the restroom that I wasn't sorry but I was sorry if she felt weird.  She said he deserved it.

Dude. It was your BIL. It was ballsy and amazing! And it's a wonderful example to set for your kiddo.

I would honestly question my marriage if my husband suddenly said something like that.

Yeah I feel you.  We weren't raised in the most PC household though.  I've lectured everyone to date about the use of hate speech and trust me, my mom, step dad, dad, step mom and FIL use those words whenever they want/ed.  They have all stopped in my presence because I make such a big stink about it.  So I guess I did know what I was doing, but the thing is she is my favorite sister and had I been thinking ahead I might not have done so.  

ETA:  too personal

I'm grouchy that I can't sleep. It's like the second I want to sleep, I'm wide awake, and my sleep meds have done nothing. This sleep schedual isn't working out now that I'm back at work. I'm very unimpressed. On the bright side, at least there is good TV on at 1am!

Thank you.

What's Absinthe? A movie? Who's in it?

[bab]

1. I am out of shape. My legs are seriously sore from walking around and standing for an extened period of time tonight. I hate this feeling.

2. I tried to keep myself from eating too many cookies by taking 4 out of the package before I mopped the kitchen floor. I figured I would not go back in until the floor was dry and by then, the cookie craving would be gone. This theory was way off. I'm about to go trample the wet floors for another cookie.

I'm laying in a tent with sleeping kids. Camping at the beach. I am trapped in here while everyone else is drinking. BOOOO
