Today is the anniversary of my grandfather's passing. I called my grandmother and she stayed on the phone with me for 40 minutes. I can't tell you the last time I spoke that long with her.

I just found out my schedule at the university for the fall. Awesome: two classes! Not awesome: I can't do one of the times without asking someone at the community college to switch. Ugh. Now I'm flashing back to when I really couldn't switch with someone in the spring and thinking oh fuck, I'm so gonna have to turn a class down. God damn it! Why couldn't the CC just have me do Tuesday and Thursday like I always have?
Lucy got to hang out with "the big girls" at a family party on Saturday. She was so psyched. I miss my wee baby. DH is almost ready to start discussion about number two. I'm not getting my hopes up too high this time, but oh my god, I want another baby so bad.
H is at Quantico this week for some training. He forgot to pack his boots. HIS BOOTS. The shoes he's worn every damn day for the last 7 years. So he had to buy some and those suckers are not cheap. I'm annoyed, yet amused. How do you forget your boots? Rookie move, H.
I feel your pain. DH has 3 pairs of boots....very expensive boots.

LOL! And yeah, those fuckers are expensive!
I went to put on my winter boots to play with DD in the snow and one was missing the laces. ^o) That was annoying.

He's issued a new pair every so often and before deployments, so he has 4-5 other brand new pairs. He only wears the pair he left at home because they're broken in, were the pair he wore in boot camp and on both deployments, yadda yadda. I told him we should sell a pair of the unused ones to recoup the cost of these ones. No response. lol
Lol yeah he uses the newest pair (the most expensive one) and the other two are just sitting pretty.
I've been thinking of the whole "pursuit of happiness" as a constitutional right, and all weekend long have been having various discussions with people regarding that subject, the concept of that being a right.
Especially since its definition is so vague and so ephemeral.
And it depends on so many factors, and there's no real metric (I mean, in a philosophical POV).
I finally have reached to a conclusion that in most circumstances, truly really the pursuit of happiness, when you see a real and true path to the happiness aspect of whatever you're seeking, is often even more rewarding than whatever you thought would give you happiness.
Or rather, better explained, that moment of realization (and the work that you do towards that goal of seeking and pursuing happiness) is pretty fucking spectacular. I like that notion. And, well, it makes me happy.
I just got back from a run a little while ago, and I'm feeling achy. I've been trying to get into running for a little over a month now, and I don't feel like I'm getting any better. But I'm still doing it, so that's got to count for something.
DH and I were hanging out in the living room this afternoon (we both had the day off) when the glass globe that covers the kitchen light fixture fell and shattered. It was kind of scary (for the cats, at least).
I'm not psyched to work 11 days in a row starting tomorrow. It's not the worst it's ever been, but I've been enjoying having weekends, dammit!

I feel like I keep posting dramatic things in randoms threads and you're all going to think I'm jlm soon.
H got robbed on sunday, in the street. They took his laptop, his camera and his plug converter. He lost a bit of research and a few days worth of photos (so, probably half his photos from congo). He can probably recover most of the research. he was so upset when I talked to him, I feel terrible

I'm glad he wasnt hurt!
Yes! He wasn't hurt. It wasn't a mugging and they didn't touch HIM. They just took all of his shit, lol.
Omg, my mil. So I've posted before that she's straight up crazy. Anyway, about a year ago she started pestering me about some random pregnancy book that her friend INSISTS she lent to me. She did not. Last time MIL started bitching about the book I told her that I have plenty of pregnancy books, but I do NOT have this one her friend is asking about. The end, right? No.
Today I got a call from a blocked number. Surprise! It's mil. She starts asking about this book again and she's like " I'm going to have to replace it and I've been to 8 stores today to look for it and nobody has it! She's part of the Russian community so she's going to tell everyone 'don't trust that Lena with anything!', and I'm going to have to join the gypsies!!". I was just like "listen, mil, it's dinner time and both kids are crying. I have to go". She is so SO crazy. Omg.
My flight has been delayed by an hour, which means I won't land until midnight.
I'm now a bit worried the rental car desk will be closed. Fuck. Which probably means I will need to go back to the airport in the morning. Fuckity fuck.
I am very happy for free Wi-Fi in the Sky Lounge, but why is it so sloooooooooow.
I told her to go to amazon! Then she says she doesn't trust the Internet with her credit card. Bullshit, MIL. I see you with your 700 shopping channel boxes.
