My parents had to put one of their dogs down yesterday. She got attacked badly and lost a lot of blood. I'm still in shock. The emergency vet gave my mom a card that has her paw print on it and her name. She was 13. :/
I bought two slip proof pairs of shoes at payless yesterday. One pair is a really cute pair of mary janes. I love them. The other pair are hideous, but are the most comfortable things I have ever put on my feet. They look like prescribed orthopedic shoes. That was the only requirement for uniform, slip proof shoes. I went to all kinds of stores looking for them, and surprisingly payless had the nicest, most comfortable ones.
If you can find Sperry Topsiders and don't think they are hideous they are definitely slip-proof. And comfortable.
DH and I are booking another week sailing in Georgian Bay on a sailing school boat so that we can both get our International Certification to be able to rent a sailboat anywhere in the world. I am excessively excited for this. I can't believe that DH actually likes to sail (I thought it was too similar to camping for him).

Omg how awful:(
I've received condolence cards from the vet, and my mom got an imprint of her cat's paw. I think it is so nice for them to help give you a memento.
It's storming here today with storms forecasted tomorrow as well and I am REALLY hoping our fence installation Wed. does not get pushed back again. We were supposed to have it put in last Monday, but because of a bunch of rain the previous week, they were behind scheduled and rescheduled for this Wed.
I just want my privacy fence! Is that too much to ask? I'm whiny today.
DS is sick and we leave for the beach in 48 hours. Fuck. I need to pack, go buy supplies, wash clothes but he's a hot clingy irritable mess.
I'm also trying to decide what snacks I should make to bring with us. Any suggestions?
Lots of little things for little fingers. Grapes cut in half, apple slices, string cheese, pretzel sticks, gold fish, lunch meat rolled up, low sugar gummy treats, teddy Graham's, etc..
I'm soo not ready to go back to work today. I slept decent last night and for once I woke up without my allergies killing me. I have to go grocery shopping on my lunch as we have zero food. If I can make it to the gym after work I will be one happy camper.
Thanks to the champix I keep having mental/very vivid dreams, this morning I woke up thinking it was time to get up, thought I had heard birds and seen daylight. It was 3am.
Last night I had a dream I was the trusty sidekick to an asskicking superhero in an office elevator. It was weird, but it was also nice knowing I was helpful!
you're in chicago,right? RIGHT?!?!? you will be there in october?
I found out from HR that even though we have up to 13 weeks of STD, they usually only allow 6 weeks maternity leave. Which sucks and I might have cried when I got the email from HR.
H and I got into a big fight last night just as we were getting into bed. I hate those.
We're (finally) joining the fitness center down the street from our house so I won't have any excuse not to go work out after work anymore. Hopefully it helps getting my sugars to come down.
I'm (maybe irrationally) annoyed. My rent bill fluctuates a few bucks every month since utilities are included but the damn management company can't figure out how to get the online system to update and has to send the bill in the mail. Of course, the bill usually arrives a only few days before it's due. This month it wasn't even stamped by the post office until the 26th so it probably showed up in my mailbox the 27th or 28th (Friday) and the rent is due by the first (Monday). I have an automatic payment set up in case I forget so all but $5.99 did get paid. What I'm actually annoyed at is the snotty e-mail they sent asking for the remaining $5.99. I knew I owed it, and I paid it right away, but how about you send the rent amount more than a weekend before it's due in case, I don't know, I'm out of town or something like usual! Whew that was a long ridiculous rant.
I'm about ready to cut my feet off. I thought it was a good idea to work in the yard at dusk with flip flops on and now my feet are covered in mosquito bites.

I've been spending a lot of time cleaning out my mom's house trying to get it ready to be listed, and my own housekeeping is starting to suffer. I have no interest in cleaning all day and then coming home to clean more. I wonder if maid's houses are really dirty.
I cannot motivate myself to run recently. It's just so hot and gross. I would rather go to the gym and lift instead.
Add me to the list of people that didn't get much sleep last night. A mini marathon of Graceland came on at 9:30 and of course we started watching and I got sucked in and had to watch all 4 episodes.
DS started forward crawling on Saturday! He had going backwards down pat, but finally figured out how to go forward! We are in so much trouble now!
Some kids came and asked dd to play last night! She's been wanting to find kids in our new neighborhood to play with since we moved in but the kids in this neighborhood don't play outside like they did in our old neighborhood. I was so thrilled that I let her stay out later than I normally would!
I got my first rude PG comment "I thought for sure you were having a girl because your so big"
it's really been messing with my head. I gained 60lbs with DD1 so I try to eat right and walk as much as I can so I don't get that big again.
People are so rude. I wish I had the balls to say something mean back about their weight in these situations. Try not to let it bother you. You are making a person and will look fab no matter what!
How long is this pp hair loss going to last?? It's gross and I'm afraid I'm going to end up bald. The amount of hair that comes out between showering, brushing my hair etc is scary.
My kid is congested and we are flying on Friday. I'm nervous. She doesn't have a cold but you can hear the phlegm.
Ugh I'd take back the hair loss and trade for my weirdo flyaways that grew back in st my hairline. It looks like a halo when I put my hair up!
i wish that military birthday party post would die, because it's making me hate everyone. seriously. nearly everyone in that post is acting like a total asshole.
I was having a dream that I was bff with duchess kate when I awoke to the peapod delivery guy ringing the doorbell. I'm sure I looked ravishing. I'm convinced this means she is having a royal baby today.

dean is dancing in perfect time to the song i'm listening to right now.
My period was due Friday/Saturday and still hasn't come. I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant but I don't have tests in the house and haven't had time to get one. This was our first month trying and we literally only did it once while on vacation. I'm a little shocked.

I hate posts like this, and like quesera's the other day; if you have an issue with someone, voice it; but the whole "omg I can't even with you people" thing drives me crazy. It reminds me of aanc who would call everyone idiots and never come back to political posts.
yes, except everyone is doing it. and being totally hyperbolic in insulting fashion (and normally i love some good hyperbole). i may be a heartless bitch sometimes, but i like to think i keep the relative positions/lives of various other posters (who i like) in mind before i go off all half-cocked with nonsense.

It does help. I'm going to get a copy of it and put it in my car or something so she is always with me.
When we adopted her, we found out her previous owners beat her and left her at the vet after they found out she had parvo. She practically jumped into my moms arms. She was a tough little dog.
I'm reading a book about the 1900 Galveston hurricane and the author uses the term "fetch" repeatedly. It has something to do with distance in bays/waterways, but I just keep thinking about Mean Girls.
I had my stress dream last night, it woke me up out of a sound sleep.
I've been forcing myself to eat because my appetite is way low due to all the stress right now. The only upside is that my clothes are fitting so much better.
I just bought the penis shoes farmvillelover posted a while ago. :Y:
And I got the black ones for BOGO.
I went and tried them on in the store to make sure I ordered the right size. Then, made an ebates account to get the $10 gift card to Target and used the 20% off code from retailmenot.
