I'm wearing an old-ladyish skirt and jacket today that I got on clearance.
I got an eyebrow pencil in this quarterly makeup kit thing I get, and I really, really like it.
I think I'm going to have to come to terms with the fact that I'm going to do the majority of the work in my new office and most likely will not get a promotion immediately, although I think the experience will be a good resume builder.
Damnit, Bernadine! I never see these when you start them and I always duplicate!
I have to sit with two new hires this morning, blahhh.
M is eating pretty much all table food at this point (besides nursing and bottles). Last night, the three of us sat down and ate as a little family for the first time! We usually feed M and put her to bed before we eat. It was so nice and made me happy. Sounds corny, lol. It's the little things.
I am so sick of rain. That's all we get these days.
I found out my step brother needs a lung transplant and possible heart transplant. I have to call him today. I'm so fucking akward on the phone. I feel terrible for him. I wish I knew what to say.
I'm sorry to hear that, puddle. I hope the conversation goes well and that he sees best case scenarios in regards to his health issues.
I'm a zombie today. The weekend was absolutely mental! We had Andy's first birthday party yesterday and it was a lot of fun (kevin arnold made an appearance!), but having a houseful of family stay over Friday and Saturday was a bit much to handle. I feel hungover from it all, lol. And I'm sure Andy does too. He was soooooo tired last night.
Damn, I am really sorry puddles - did they just add him to the list or has he been on it for a while?
I took a couple more photos this weekend for my etsy shop that I'm really pleased with. Not that I've sold anything, but these are my new favs, hopefully I can drum up some interest. So I'm sitting at my desk editing and watermarking stuff. Good use of company equipment

I'm so sorry about your brother, puddle
I'm so exhausted. I spent 6 hours at my mom's house yesterday doing yard work/cleaning and getting it ready to sell. I hate having to go through her stuff. I'm going over again tonight after work.

My computer is making me sad. It keeps saying I have low disk space, so I delete stuff, and it's ok for a while, then again, LOW DISK SPACE warning. Don't crap out on me now, dude!
DH and I got a new mattress, hallelujah! It's AWESOME, I slept like the dead last night.
I have to lecture about the pyramids today, woot, one of my faves
I've started looking for apartments for me to move into. I've come to realize in the last couple months that I have changed in ways that I really don't like myself anymore for this marriage. I used to have fun and do things that I liked to do but stopped when he didn't like to do them or he said he was too old to do them. I've completely changed the way I dress to make him not feel like he's dating someone so much younger. I should have listened to my family when they told me I was getting married too young. But what 23 year old wants to do that. I just don't know who I am anymore and I really don't like that.
I'm so sorry about your brother, puddleofgrace. Hugs.
Somehow my mom and I mixed up dates for this weekend. I thought she was babysitting the kids during our annual camping weekend (which has been the third week of July for the past, oh, ten years) and she has been planning on having a cousins' weekend up at the cabin. Somehow we didn't catch that they were the same weekend until this morning. So now we are scrambling for childcare. I wouldn't care if I had to miss Sat night, but I really don't want to miss Friday night. I'm crossing my fingers that SIL will come through for us.
I reeeeallly need to get back to eating better. The scale is moving in the wrong direction.
The Color Run was yesterday and it was fun! I showered when I got home and then took a long nap with DD and my hair today is really bad because of it. lol. Oh well!
Oh! And I got my iphone 5 replaced by Apple for free on Saturday. The on/off button wasn't responding and it was turning itself off when it got down to around 30% battery. I'm glad they took care of me!
We put an offer in on a place here that is contingent on the close of our Chicago condo. The inspection on that place is this afternoon and I hope that the little banshees upstairs are semi-tame so that the new buyers don't get scared off by them. If this all goes well, timing for everything should be just about perfect - so keep your fingers crossed for us.
Photobucket doesn't function properly on my new laptop and I miss posting OOTD pics.
I really want Starbucks this morning (love vanilla bean scones) but I can't justify the calories when I still have a bunch of pregnancy weight to lose. If I walked there and back (4 miles) that would be good right? What would I do with pup while I am inside ordering?
Does anyone use flaxseed? I read that its best to grind it and sprinkle it in your food but I'm wondering what that does to the taste.
DH is returning to work today and he knows his coworker is going to ask how we liked his condo that we stayed in on our vacation. The place was filthy and I think H should tell him the housekeepers the complex uses to clean aren't doing a great job. H thinks he shouldn't say anything about the cleanliness at all. He uses this condo as a an income property and if other people are using it, they can write a negative review that could effect future rental opportunities. I think it would be nice to know if the hoa he's paying monthly for cleaning and upkeep services isn't doing a good job.
H and I spent the day with the in-laws at their house yesterday and it was so fun and relaxing. We played cards, spent time in the pool, grilled out and just lounged. Perfection.

I'm wearing Flowerbomb perfume today and I can't stop smelling myself. I have a million perfume samples from Sephora and I want to just keep buying things.
Every time I buy online from them I spend over $75, because I don't want to pay duty.
I want to stop, but I don't want to. I'm looking at the site right now.
I have not had bad back pain since FRIDAY NIGHT!!! I am so exited! I had really bad pain on Friday night, and some normal pain here and there when I walking around the grocery store on Saturday, but nothing as bad as it has been. I haven't had physio since last Thursday, and I have just been taking it easy since then, and I am hoping that I am getting better. It would be nice if my doctor let me go back to work at least part time at my appointment on August 1st, so I don't have such a long 3 month wait until I have this kid, lol.
