H bought me some natural deodorant that's "wild lavender" scented.

I smell like a god damn hippy.

So much packing! You'd think we'd be much further along in it since our closing had been pushed back but we are lazy/not motivated to do stuff until the last minute.

[crashgizmo]

We had friends over last night and DH is completely hung over today. This is a rare occurrence, and I forgot how whiny he is. I have no sympathy either.

My microsoft word keeps crashing, which is especially inconvenient as I need to download and print my new employment contract! Then scan it and send it back! But no dice. And I suck at computer stuff.

So FRUSTRATING!

Our ficus tree is dropping hundreds of berries that are getting smashed on our patio and staining it. I want to chop it down.

We're visiting my parents and watching Hindi movies from the 70s. My poor H has no idea what's going on so we're making fun of everything instead and cracking my parents up.

I finally got the Microsoft word fixed, but now can't get our printer to print. Or to scan to my computer. 

I'm so fucking frustrated. My H was supposed to make this all work before he moved, and I've now spent 1.75 hours (time I didn't have) wrestling with it. 

SO ANGRY.

i find this info graphic delightful.  Imagine wrongfully pairing Skittles with a full bodied red!

Also, I am in love with Marc New York Performance leggings from Costco. They look and feel amazing for lounging/everyday wear (and fleece lined!) They would probably suck for working out--too hot, no drawstring, one weenie little waist pocket. But I love them for weekend hanging out.

I am having a what to wear panic attack. I thought what I brought would look good, but now I'm not feeling it. being unable to tuck in my shirts makes me feel sloppy.

@idaholakelady, IDK if it helps but there are apps that you can use to "scan" documents on your phone.  AKA you take a picture of it, it'll pretty it up and make it look like it was scanned, and then you can e-mail it wherever.  The one I use is called CamScanner, but I'm sure there are others out there.

I want a cat. I need a cat. Is this yearning because I lost my dog? Probably. But I want a cat.
H is allergic. I'm allergic. It's not horrible, mostly in H's head ( he is fine in houses until he realizes a cat is there, then he insists on taking allergy pills, even if not needed). He had a cat growing up. He's okay with me getting a cat.

I've done research on hypoallergenic cat breeds. It looks like the allergy comes from a protein cats produce, certain breeds produce less of it. A Balinese is what I'm looking at as it has the lowest percentages of the protien.

I'm researching cat rescues, but how can I be sure it's not a mix cat? I absolutely DO NOT WANT to go to a breeder. I don't want/need a kitten. There are so many cats that need homes, but I also want to have low Fel D1 protein cat. I would be fine with any cat at the shelter, but I'm thinking of H here.

What are my options here? Should I give up my kitty dream?

Any ideas? I have two dogs that love cats, usually cats don't like them. Would a kitten be better with dogs? Would it probably tolerate dogs if it grew up with them? I don't know what to do.

No suggestions, but get a cat

Save it and upload to google drive and then print

Hours later I stopped stinking. That shit has got to go.

In MM news, H has a Citi Double Cash on the way!

hamster, try the Crystal rock salt deodorant. No smell at all (either from the product or from your sweat.) www.amazon.com/Crystal-Body-Deodorant-Stick-4-25/dp/B000L978FU

Also--my office is completely empty. COMPLETELY. I am so happy.

I have to second this recommendation. I also get many fewer razor/irritation bumps than I used to when I used standard deodorant. This stuff is amazing.

I am utterly amazed and shocked how immature and attention whoring an in law was at a wedding this weekend. She is a 41 year old woman who has a decent job, a house, three kids, and a husband (yes, there is a reason I put him last, but that's another tangent). It isn't your wedding, the focus doesn't need to be on you or your stupid, obnoxious, ill behaved chlldren. If you were as close to the bride as you claim to be, you wouldn't have almost let your 4.5 year old interrupt the cake cutting. It wasn't cute, it was disrespectful and an indicator of your poor parenting.

As an aside, thank God this damn wedding is over.
