Something I don't like is that they are all adults and I think it is kind of crappy her brothers still treat her like she is 8. I know siblings tease and all that, but there is something about it that annoys me sometimes. I also wonder if she still wants to be with Vito or if she now feels like she can't break up with him.
I am so excited for you to be able to file, we should meet up for a celebratory dinner when you do.
I am waiting for C to wake up so we can hit the grocery store. later she will be going to my mom's house, yay!
I genuinely like working out now, I just wish I could be more diligent about what I am eating so I can start to see some real changes. I have my period now, so weighing myself would be pointless and I know that month two is usually when you really start to see changes, but I am nervous that I won't.
I'm having a visitor over tomorrow which means I have to clean my house today to prepare. I partially want to reschedule but know it will be ages before we actually get together, so I just have to go with it.
My pulled pork came out really awesome. Nice crispy crust and juicy inside. I can't wait to have it for dinner tonight. I'm going to saute up some onions and garlic and mix it in. Om nommm.
I would like to patent my chipotle brown sugar pork rub. It is fantastic. *pats self on back again*

Less than 3 months - that's so exciting!
I accidentally bought fruit punch gatorade and it's gross. I meant to get raspberry lemonade but I wasn't really paying attention and the colors are similar.
I thought I had more randoms but I can't think of any right now.
I decided to take a mental health day. I'm eating eggs and fake sausages for breakfast, enjoying the cup of coffee that h set beside my bed before he left with dd, and considering what to do with 8 whole hours alone. The productivity and leisure battle is raging in my head.
I have a second interview for one job today and a first for a different job tomorrow. I feel so guilty about leaving my coworkers but so excited to not work in public accounting anymore and put up with my craptastic clients!
I want to eat dinner at vicky's tonight. Sounds delicious!
Bernadine, I hope these next three months fly by for you!
We are officially a diaper and pull-up free household. Actually we ran out of pull-ups last week and DD had been doing really well at night, so I just haven't bought any more. She did have an accident at night while we were at the cabin, but that was our fault for not making sure she went before bedtime. That was her first nighttime incident in weeks though. Yay! Now if I could just find undies that were small enough to stay on her tiny tush.
I need to get to the grocery store, bad. I feel like we have no fresh food left. But I'm still feeling lazy and I don't want to cook, so I'll have to look for more recipes that interest me.
Good luck at your interviews, kristinmo! And enjoy your mental health day, lazy, I'm jealous! And I am all too familiar with the battle between productivity and leisure. Maybe do half and half?

Leisure!!!
Cleo, I'd love to meet up! Actually, I was going to ask if you wanted to ride up to Philly together for brunch?
Cleo, I'm glad your enjoying working out. I've gone through times when I refused to weigh myself for months because even though I knew what I was doing was good for my body, the stuck scale was so infuriating. Maybe try giving yourself some time to adjust to working out before you hop on and see a number. Andplusalso, you are beautiful, and that's the really important part.
Vicky, please to be bringing me pulled pork, k? Would you share your super secret patented rub? Chipotle brown sugar sounds awesome.
Mrs.Beagle, now you get to think of 8AR and miso every time you fart! It's a win win! Like they are right there with you!
Lightbulb, I think I commented on something on your pinterest, but I'm not entirely sure it's you. Stuffed sweet potatoes?
Seriously, if you're in the tristate area you're more than welcome to have some, haha. This pork was a trial run in our new smoker, so we have 8lbs for tonight. And then this weekend for our bbq we have another 26lbs of pork to smoke. Plus homemade bacon, beer can chicken, bbq chicken parts and burgers. It's Meat Fest.
The rub is really really simple. 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 - 3/4 cup white sugar 1/2 cup paprika 1/4 cup kosher salt 2 tbs ground ginger 2 tbs onion powder 2 tbs garlic powder 2 tbs rosemary powder 1 tbs fresh ground pepper 1 tbs chipotle flakes
I take dried rosemary, peppercorns, the kosher salt and the chipotle flakes and mash them with a few cloves of garlic in a molchajete until it's a nice paste. Lube the pork up with some vegetable oil, and then rub him down. Smoke at 225 for about an hour a pound and you've got yourself some tasty pork.
If I was close enough to know what the tristate area is (is this the northeast somewhere?), I'd be all over your Meat Fest. Sounds like a hell of a party, and thanks for the recipe!
1. I'm eating an apple struedel muffin and a (Starbucks) venti cafe misto with bold coffee and extra foam. This day is starting out RIGHT!
2. H is out of town (Maine) until the end of this week. Apparently he's going to be doing 4 days a week out of town pretty consistently starting now. Right now, I enjoy having the house to myself when he has to travel for work. I don't know if that'll change when it's every single week.
3. I'm really going to try to be more productive at work today. We'll see how that goes.
4. Bunheads is over for the summer and I haz a sad. Now I have to wait til winter. Boo!
Nama, are you charting to conceive, avoid, or just figure things out at this point? It does seem complicated when you start, but becomes pretty clear once you've done it for a month or so. Weirdly, I actually found charting on a hardcopy chart less confusing than using the FF app. I feel like the app gives me too many potentially fertile days and then screws me up by not pinpointing which day I actually ovulated until after the fact.
Yup! I actually haven't tried them yet. Glad to hear they're good!
Yeah, they've totally become one of our super easy meal standards. I do, however, feel stupid when someone asks me what I'm going to eat for dinner and I respond with "a sweet potato".
I woke up a million times last night. To add insult to injury I'm out if coffee creamer and I'm not woman enough to drink it black, do no coffee for me.
When I dropped J off this morning, I was telling MIL that she still hadn't pooped since Sunday, and MIL was like "she needs one of my prunes.. would you like A PRUNE?" I was like "haha, no, it'll come out on its own." I hope she was kidding. It's hard to tell. For the love, please do not give my 4 month old a prune. This is why I get nervous leaving her over there.
**breathe**
Uggh I'd be emailing over all the leg exercises, thermometer in the butt, etc., remedies in hopes she'll be too busy to try it. I know what you mean, though, my MIL was insistent the first little bit she was here that you have to pull back the foreskin (boys aren't circ'd). I was PETRIFIED she was going to not even out of not listening to us, but just out of misplaced habit. It worked out okay though. They get it.
But I'd be all up her butt about the prunes, you are better than me! lol
