I don't know how to drive dh's car (a manual Accord). He's teaching me tomorrow. We've owned it for 8 years.
I don't know how to drive Mr.Kirkette's stick shift Jetta. I played dumb, and cried, when he tried to teach me in grad school. So, he gave up on me learning. #sorrynotsorry we live in a hilly area, and I have no intentions of stalling out, or rolling backward. I have no plans to learn how to drive any of his cars, or how to learn to be an effective parallel parker.
This is H and I, down to the Jetta! He really wants me to learn, and I probably should, but I cry and play dumb every time he tries. I should actually try sometime... but not anytime soon.
I realize the point of those group painting with wine places is not to create amazing works of art, but if I want to get drunk with my friends I don't want to pay extra to take home some ugly ass painting. They are all universally awful.
Hate hate hate hate hate HATE these stupid things. A friend of mine keeps trying to get H and I to go on a double date with her and her H to one of these. No way in hell am I going to waste valuable baby free time to paint an ugly canvas. They are the worst ever.
I've always wanted to do the painting party thing but have no friends on that level here @brie. Total looser.
PDQ... My sister's soon to be SD is going to make her life very, very tumultuous & hard. It's already been unbelievable some of the stuff she's done in the last few months & she's only 11. I want my sister to be happy but I'm starting to have doubts she will be long term if she marries this guy. I strongly suspect her FI saw this coming & hence was anxious to find someone to co-parent (bio mom not really in picture). I'm flying to TX to wedding dress shop with her but I have a pit in my stomach about it.
Also I never understand why married couples go to the painting thing together. Then you just have two identical ugly paintings!

Right?!? We did this (not our choice). What do I do with 2 shitty paintings of the same thing?
Oddly, they are sitting out on our piano and we get tons of compliments on them and people ask why we don't have them hanging up. Umm...because they are horid.

We owned a manual Audi for 11 years. I never drove it. Not once. Never even tried.
I mean, I could (and might) live there, but I wouldn't really like it.
I kind of hate Dallas. I have a lot of friends there, and I am sure I could be happy enough living there. DH even actively looked for jobs there at one point. But it is just so Dallas-y. And I cannot tell you how many times I have heard someone at work explain a colleague's obnoxious behavior with, "well, they are from Dallas."
Unfortunately, Austin is not an option. DH would pick that option without hesitation (I've just never been). He's currently a ways south of Dallas and it's a very sparse town, lol. Super FNL, nothing much besides high school football, lol.
Kidding aside, I actually think Dallas is a pleasant enough place to live. Like any big city, I think you just have to find a neighborhood, community, and friends that you click with. I have some thoroughly awesome friends in Dallas who love it.
I love driving DH's Jetta. It's a six speed turbo and since I'm in a minivan most of the time, driving to and from my dance class in his car once a week is a legitimate treat.
My book club did the painting thing but we painted wine glasses. It was fun, cheap, the wine flowed freely and when they kicked us out, we went to a bar.
I keep smooshing DS into the bucket seat because I haven't taken the time to relearn how to install the convertible rear-facing. Let's face it, I never properly learned the first time.
I am really excited that when we visit our friends in Texas next month, they will be picking us up with the car seat already installed for DS. It's not that I can save $ on a rental car or fly without a car seat that excites me. Nope, it's just not having to install the damned thing.
I think this is a flameful, but would it be so terrible to cheat on my GD diet for dinner just this once? I'm tired, been alone for 4 days, and just want delivery pizza.
I did fine with two slices of thin crust pizza with lots of meat and a side salad. It was just hard to limit myself to the two slices because OMG PIZZA.
Whenever people say they are going out to celebrate/be romantic at a fondue restaurant I do not understand. First of all, what is romantic about trying to stab my fallen piece of beef in splattering hot oil? Second, why the hell am I going out to eat if I have to cook my own food?
Lest you think I'm a monster, cheese abd chocolate fondue have their place.

ugh. yes. A friend wanted to go to Orlando to do this. 1. ORlando is 2.5 hrs from me. 2. $50 to drink wine & paint? No. I can drink wine at home and paint, for free. #scrougepartyof1
I'm doing this juice cleanse,, and surprisingly the juices taste pretty good.
It is a three day cleanse, and I'm really super committed to eating healthier after I finish. I say that now, but I know the first time I see a damn brownie and ice cream I'm going to want to be all over it.
Enjoy! I love a juice cleanse and enjoy the juice too. I plan to do one in about a year when I am done nursing.
We are supposed to get another 14 inches of snow next week. If I get stuck in this house with DS one more day I might fucking cry. Seriously. I cannot.
Plus my diet has gone to hell from being stuck inside. Grrr
All I have to add is that Houston is way better than Dallas. Dallas always seems snobby and like it has no soul to me. Houston is funky and weird and has the best food of anywhere I've ever lived. I could do without the humidity, though.

recommend your favorite food to me! I'll be there in two weeks.
