Sunday Randoms

[bl]

I got up at 6:30 and got in a 21 mile ride.  I haven't been on a bike in two months and had a flat, but at least I am getting back on the bike and really need to start upping my mileage before my big ride in Sept.  It wasn't hot, but the humidity is no joke and I was dripping sweat, I need to get some better solutions for chafing.

I am going to return some shoes, change my oil, and grocery shop. I am on hold because I am placing a massive Sephora order and my 10% off coupon code isn't working. Tonight I am going to take my mom to melting pot for dinner, I don't feel horrible about the calories since I burned almost 1k on the bike ride.

jinx bl! I deleted mine!

Good Morning!

I slept like crap last night, so I won't feel bad napping poolside today. I love doing my PT exercises in the pool. It's very therapeutic. I eventually want to get to the point where I can do aquatic zumba exercises.

Happy Sunday!

Bodyglide I think it's called. I swear by the Monistat anti-chafing gel, but I don't know if it stays on while sweating. Also I loveee the gym shorts with stretchy shorts underneath.

That's awesome bl!

I went on an awkward 2nd date last night and I chickened out of telling him I wasn't into it. I know I'm going to have to tell him.

I got up early to clean my car, get gas, and go grocery shopping. I'm doing good on my July Budget. I think I have a better grasp of things this month.

Heading out for all you drink bellinis! Should be fun. Then a planned napped and then my friend and I are gonna do some business strategizing.

Nice little Sunday @pdx18.

I am rolling my eyes. There's this gal who's over the top on Facebook. She's dating a guy i know and they've been together 1 month. She posted a pic of them and her three children driving to the coast. She wrote #ourcircus, #ourmonkeys. Who's monkeys?? They're not his kids.

I've had a nice lazy morning and now I'm showered and ready to meet my friend for brunch around the corner. Later I'll be cooking my way through the insane amount of produce in my fridge. My kind of day!

I used chamois butt'r which is similar to body glide, but mean for bikers specifically.  I also have the chamois padded super unflattering biking shorts.  I don't want to think of how bad it will be at 60+ miles in this kind of heat and humidity.  I had sand/gravel stuck to my legs because they were so sweaty when we rode through any dirt it just stuck onto them.  SO gross.

Fun night last night made up for an annoying Friday night! Stayed up too late (for me) though so today I'm dragging. Managing to get some work done and going to yoga a bit later today.

Today has been a relaxing day. Got up and worked for a few hours then went out to breakfast. Once back home, after another trip to Target, I worked on a puzzle and caught up on RHOC. Just trying to enjoy the rest of the day and stay calm because tomorrow is my first day at my new job! I really am having a horrible time figuring out what to wear. I feel like linen pants are business casual?

I would not do linen pants on a first day, see what others wear once you are there then go from there. I always go dressier for a first day.

I'm not sure what field you are in, but if you really dress up on the first day, you can always dress down or dress up, if that makes sense!

I was supposed to go out with some friends and one of their friends from OOT. I checked in earlier today about 3:30 when I hadn't heard anything. She said it would be a while. Okay. Finally about 8 I give up and ate dinner. She texts me a few minutes later and asks if I want to join them. She said they were getting a late dinner bc their friend has a late flight. I wish they'd told me because I would have totally waited if I had known a timeline. I know I'm probably being too sensitive but my feelings are hurt. ugh.

I don't think you're being sensitive at all. If anything, you're friends were being insensitive. I think it's unrealistic for them to think that you hadn't eaten dinner by 8, and kind of shitty of them not to have given you more of a heads up.

Look what I built! (The fire pit, not just the fire) Today was crazy hot and muggy so I only burned it long enough to get rid of the sticks in my yard.

I got my daughter home yesterday after an extended visit with her dad. Then we went on a cave tour and it was sweet. This week he should be served with divorce petition. Meep, i hope he takes it like an adult.

I spent the day with my family and it was great. I'll miss them when I leave, but it'll be nice to be back home in my apartment.

My sisters told me the funniest story. About a month ago they were shopping at a farmer's market/beer garden and my youngest sister noticed my exH there with his gf. My youngest sister saw him look at her and she immediately told my younger sister that exH was there. Younger sister had just bought a beer and said they would go after she finished her beer (she hates my exH). Sometime while my sisters were finishing their drinks, exH and his gf disappeared. My sisters still felt weird knowing he was there and they headed out. While leaving, they saw my exH and his gf hiding in an alleyway, lol. Once exH saw my sisters, he proceeded to quickly walk down the alleyway and hide out of sight. I'm slightly pleased to know that after 5 years of being apart, he is still a lowly coward and runs from things that make him feel guilty and/or ashamed.

Thank you!  I haven't had much of a social life for years due to my store so I second guess myself at times like this.  She didn't apologize so I thought I was being too sensitive.  

I really need to get out and make more friends.  It's hard at this stage in life because most of the people in my age group have kids.  I'm happy to hang out with people who have kids but it's more difficult to GTG with them.

I agree not sensitive.  They knew their friend had a late flight, so I can't understand why they didn't say anything when you checked in at 3:30.  Something along the lines of hey it will probably be sometime after 7:30 when so and so's flight gets in, would have been easy and worked just fine.

winecat I'd be annoyed, but honestly this sounds like your friends are poor planners. It doesn't mean it's not rude, but it's nothing against you personally you know? I have some friends like this and I just know either I have to keep following up or I just give up. As I've gotten older I'm more on the give up side and if they reach out and works great, but I don't plan my schedules around them anymore

That's what I thought!  They knew his flight times so nothing more than "later" was definitely lacking info so I was just supposed to wait?  By the time 8pm rolled around, I thought I wasn't going to hear from them.  Thank you for so much for responding.

Thank you!  I was definitely taking it personally because that's how I roll.  It's not how I want to roll so I really appreciate the snap back to reality.  I need to establish some friendships with people who will plan.  I don't need fancy plans to do big things, but let's do x thing on y date is perfect.  Not planning definitely doesn't help my self-esteem.
