Saturday Randoms (add your own)

[sonrisa]

1) Today is FIL's memorial service. DH was up until 4:30 writing the eulogy. I woke up to bring him to bed and now can't go back to sleep. It's going to be a long day.

2) MIL (who is generally a very sweet and kind person, but a little off right new because of her grief) scheduled the memorial service for the one weekend FIL's only sister is out of the country. They were very close. She never married or had kids and she's his only blood relative other than his two sons and granddaughter. Now MIL keeps bitching about how inconsiderate, disrespectful and strange it is that his sister won't be there. She won't even let DH read a statement prepared by the sister since "she can't be bothered to show up." Ugh.

3) I don't like pregnancy heartburn and related insomnia. Boo. 

4) A little life tip from DH: If you are unemployed, never plan to get a job, and spend your days masturbating, don't expect your psychiatrist to prescribe adderall to "increase your focus." "Wants to masturbate more" isn't a medically compelling justification.

I'm sorry about your FIL


It's currently 66º in our house. Brrr. But I love it. We unfortunately have to take Rox to the vet to get her nails clipped. She throws a shit fit every. single. time. So I am dreading that. Also dreading grading my papers today.

Hugs, sonrisa. We are attending the service for my BFF's little sister today. Trying to stay positive but ugh. She was so young.

((hugs)) That sounds incredible hard.

Hope a rough day goes well, sonrisa  .  And   to #4.

It's chilly here this morning, and I've got the windows open to get that nice fresh, crisp air in the house.

DH is on a plane!  He should be home in about 7 hours or so.

Hugs to you Sonrisa.....and sineadorebellion.....

One of my team members is about to have surgery out of state and is probably facing her second round of cancer (we wont know how bad it is until her surgery next week but last time 20 years ago they had to cut out half of her tongue...argh!) so we are taking her to lunch today and I will take her to the airport tomorrow morning at 630. My work team is very tightly knit so it will be a tough 3-4 months without her probably.

Will sound crazy but H and I are going to Lowes today to scout out Christmas trees.....we got a $1000 gift card from when we redid our kitchen and we want to get a 9 foot Christmas tree this year. We are officially goofy but excited just to see what they have or will have.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

We're trying to make the bet of our weekend in St. Louis by going to all the outdoors stores Forrest wants to hit.

Good news, since I worked my ass off tying up loose ends, i shouldn't be walking into a shitstorm when I get home.

My quarterly review went well yesterday. At least that's what my boss told me since I wasn't there for it.

Hey chicky!
My BFF told me that there was some huge new outlet mall complex out in Chesterfield that might be worth checking out?  Dont know what stores they have but may be something to do to kill some time and have some fun.  

[murdock]

Sonrisa and Sineadorebellion, I'm sorry for your losses. : (

I finally get to see my husband today. I plan on making fun of him (lovingly) and grabbing his butt all day.

[CurlyQ284]

DH, DS and I are on our way to George Washington National Park with his jeep group for a ride. I think our group is meeting with another group from southern VA when we get there. Im learning that Jeep people are very social, especially with other Jeep people.

My H laid the smelliest, nastiest fart in his sleep last night. It was so bad it woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep for an hour. Gah!

[eb777888]

[shostakovich]

Hugs to you, sonrisa and sineadorebellion - I'm sorry for your losses, and for the tough day you're facing.

My random: I have to go run 12-14 miles today, and I really, really don't wanna. I'm worried this marathon is going to be a disaster for me, because I've been slacking with my training. I've also made the decision to only run half-marathons in the next year, because I feel like training for a marathon is just burning me out and sucking all the fun and spontaneity (what little of it I had) out of my life.

I'm sorry for your loss

Theo only woke up 3 times last night!! Woohoo. This is a huge improvement over the 10-12 times a night he has been waking up.

I'm watching once upon a time on Netflix. I actually really like it! Lol.

[angelaa73]

Oh sonrisa I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's been coming for a while and how worn down everyone is...

:holds your hand:

[youbetcha]

Sonrisa, I'm sorry I'm asking you silly cheese questions when you had a death in the family. :-(

My random is that I haven't had a real conversation with my H in a week (he's traveling) and I miss him. We have developed a habit of sitting on our back patio and chatting after the kids go to bed and I have all sorts of topics stored up in my head. Lol

[Deleted]

((Sonrisa)). I will keep you and H/MIL in my thoughts. The first year was the hardest for us after FIL passed. If you need a shoulder, mine is available.

[nahoku]

Hugs to sonrisa and sinead. I'm sorry for your losses.

We are surprising the kids with tickets to the Gopher football game today. We were going to go to the Renaissance Festival but H talked me into this instead. I'm not a huge football fan, but I am a U of MN alum and I haven't been to a game at the new stadium yet. So I'm excited. Plus - beer and stadium food!

[mookie]

The weather is perfect today. SO and I are sitting in the yard sipping on chilled wine and just lazing about.
Next weekend there is an outdoor 30 Seconds tournament my sister and I are competing in. We've bought all the game cards and booster packs and plan on sharpening up on it this weekend in preparation to kick ass.
We take our trivia games very seriously.

So I know that 27 (almost 28) is not old, but I'm starting to notice certain qualities of the olds happening to me, and it kind of freaks me out. I have started finding stray gray hairs. Also, I had a long day at work on Thursday. On Friday when I woke up I had some serious bags under my eyes. WTF? Last night I had three drinks and woke up feeling like I had a lot more.

I'm really annoyed at myself that it freaks me out at all. Logically, I know it is a dumb thing to worry about/be upset about.

[mookie]

Very sorry about your losses, Sonrisa and Sineadorebellion.

[RoxMonster]

Ugh. I wish people would mind their dogs. We just got back from the vet where Rox had to get her nails clipped. She is very nervous at the vet and very nervous around strange people and dogs in general.

We had her on her gentle leader and my H had her sitting in front of him holding her collar so she couldn't go anywhere because we know she is reactive to dogs. Two people come in with a large Golden on a retractable leash (ugh). Rox immediately barks and backs up seeing it. I pet her, tell her it's just a dog, just like at class, etc. She is on edge but not barking and calmed a little. The two people can clearly see she is reactive and scared. So they sit down and what do they do? Let their dog have the whole fucking length of the retractable leash so it runs right up to her and H. She immediately starts barking and tries to hide under H's chair. It takes them a minute to even get their dog back. I was so fucking livid. Luckily the vet tech saw this happen and said, "Why don't we just bring Rox back into the room now?" I really regret not saying something to these idiots.

The last place you should let your dog get close to another is at the vet's office. What if Rox was sick? What if their dog is sick? How stupid can you be?

I have started the closet purges for the big move.

Dd is absolutely set for next summer. She doesn't need one single thing. Not even shoes. My friends are awesome. And have expensive taste.

Hugs to all!

I have a terrible headache and no coffee

[bania]

((Sonrisa)) and ((sinead)). I'm so sorry for you losses. Big hugs to you both today.

We're packing up 95% of the house today and putting it all in the moving truck, even though we don't move until Tuesday. I am having major anxiety over this move even though there is really nothing to worry about. Everything has gone smooth (knock on wood). 

I am so nauseous and I just want to go back to sleep. 

[nicanmatt]

I'm sad we didn't sign up for the local Buddy Walk, but the sign up fee was pretty expensive and I'm on unpaid maternity leave. But the weather is beautiful, it would have been a great way to meet other families and the sign up fee included tickets to a baseball game and a bunch of other activities.

A local bike shop has a big train set up, so I guess I'll take the kids to see that instead. But I'm still really bummed about the other plans we could be doing. My mom used to do this, never make up her mind about stuff going on and then be disappointed by what she chose because the "other" plans could have been better. I really hope I'm not turning into her!!
