I just noticed in another posted that you deactivated and I was trying to find out if there was some board drama that I missed. Glad you're still here.
Random- The stomach flu is lame. DD2 had it Saturday, DS1 was sick on Sunday, DD1 on Monday, and DS1 again yesterday. The only upside is that we got the mattresses and carpets steam cleaned and the floors mopped because DD2 is too young to fully understand the proper puking in the toilet technique.
I'm not having a good week. My dog was sick all over the house on Monday although she seems to be on the mend now- scrubbing shit out of the fireplace is not recommended for Monday evening entertainment and M H is being a jackass. I'm really tired of fighting with him. He takes the most outrageous and irrational positions and then gets mad when I won't "compromise".
Apparently, the Costco Matty M leggings actually DO look like exercise pants. I bought a grey pair, wore them once, and couldn't figure out what happened to them after that. I was pretty sure I washed them but couldn't figure out where I put them. Well, I found them today in my exercise clothing drawer. I guess I got them mixed up with a grey pair of cropped pants.
Did you post the details behind your vent? If so I'm sorry I missed it and I kinda miss your old screen name! FYI, you can re-activate that one if you want to and it won't link to your old posts from before you deactivated. v (among others) does it all the time.
I didn't post details, but I'm really uncomfortable with the whole situation. Maybe I'll change back in a while.
I would like to add a gripe: Bliss brought back their 4 for $29 lotion deal (yay!) except you have to pay for shipping to the tune of $9.95. NOPE. I am so sad, I really wanted to that dang lotion.

irene adler I'm glad you didn't leave us. I saw your old name deactivated and was like oh no!
DH is having a rough time at work this week, which of course puts him in a shitty mood at home. I was silently begging him to leave the house this morning and take his negative energy with him! This is my last week before I start my new job and I'm trying to wrap up a million things.
I also stayed up late last night to watch the series finale of Sons of Anarchy....which was awesome until the last 3 minutes.

I can't quit y'all.
I am applying for an in-range progression today (a raise within my salary range--we have no steps here, and this is the only way to receive an individual salary increase). I am submitting an appendix of salaries others in my classification in similar programs, with COL adjustments. It reminds me of a math assignment in high school. SHOW YOUR WORK!!!
I don't have high hopes. The university is notoriously stingy.

So can I admit I checked your posts this morning - before you deactivated - to see if you'd added any details? I know that you've had a ton of objective, outside factors going on over the past year or so that I imagine are related to this latest thing and was curious as to how you were doing. I hope things are better today. (I can DD any/all of that if you'd rather keep it even more vague irene adler)
I have been super busy yesterday and today. Some of it's fun stuff, but I seriously do not feel like making 2 dozen cookies this afternoon so I can go to a cookie exchange. My method of combatting this feeling? I bought a brownie at the coffee shop. Lately I've come to the grown up realization that I actually don't feel physically great when I eat a ton of sugar, so why did I buy a brownie when I'm about to go to an event that will give me a ton of cookies?
I'm supposed to be mentoring this girl through my local professional association and she asked to shadow me at work. I started making arrangements for her but she won't return my call to iron out some details.
I've been trying to get in touch with my doctor for over a week and he hasn't called me back.
So I was tracking a package and it said it was delivered yesterday at 1:46. I was home, five feet from the front door at the time. I left the house a little after 2. There was never a knock or a doorbell ring (normal for package deliveries here) and no package when I left. So I emailed Gap and just inquired about if it could have been delivered to the wrong house.
The package was delivered today. I want to rescind my complaint but at the same time I'm troubled by the fact that they reported it delivered.
Maternity leave apparently means I have too much time to worry about silly things and I should just wear my new puffer vest and be happy.
I need to start being more positive at work. I've noticed myself being very negative lately when talking to my boss (with good reason) and I probably shouldn't do that...
My random is that watching these horrible Sandra Lee videos is making me remember how much I really do love icing in a can. Like, love it. Mmmmm....chemical goodness.
We found out yesterday that my H passed his last CPA exam!!! Woohoo! We have two kids so I was picking up a lot of slack at home and with them while he studied 3 hours a night and 5-8 on the weekends. Whew!
I had a lazy Sunday morning all to myself and fell down a rabbit hole of Catholic mom bloggers. It was so fascinating. These young ladies all seem to attend Franciscan University, study in Austria, have a chaste, almost Duggar like courtship, get married at 21 and immediately start having babies. Most had 4 or 5 kids by 30.
We leave for Vegas on Sunday. I am starting to feel the pressure of being gone all next week and then having 4 Christmases during the week we get back. The good part is that I am getting a lot done and being super organized, oh yeah, and I am going to VEGAS!
I interviewed for an Associate director with my company on Monday.
No word yet. They are still interviewing through the end of the week. I'm trying not to think about it and I know if I get passed over, I have other opportunities. I will feel like I failed so much if I don't get an offer, though.

I was just thinking about you. Fingers crossed--I hope you hear positive news soon.
