Randoms

This sounds awesome. I'd probably try for it all in one day as well. Is it going to be in London for a while? I wonder if they are doing anything in the states.

That's awesome! I can't wait to hear how it is!

I can't think of a good random. All I do is complain lately. I'm annoyed at my H. We've had 2 arguments in the last week that were because we specifically agreed in something and then he did the opposite of what we agreed to anyway. I'm really mad about it but he doesn't seem to get it. He said he's sorry but that doesn't mean he won't do it again. What do I do? Just let it go?

Also, I'm sad winter is coming.

Oh wow, RockNVoll, I am super jealous! I am dying to go.

Good luck bostonmichelle!

noodleoo, I don't know if the specific issue is worth pushing, but it seems like his complete disregard for your feelings is turning into a pattern that you might want to nip in the bud. Have you guys had any time alone without the baby? Can someone watch her for an hour or two so you guys can get a break and talk? I feel you, though. My husband and I are also struggling to figure out how to navigate our relationship with this new little interloper. We're both on edge all the time and tired and frustrated (and...and...), so we're quick to snap at each other and be annoyed by stupid little things. (Though in your case, it sounds like it might not be a little thing.) We never did that before Ben, but i'll be honest, some days, I am just too damn tired to even think about how to break the cycle in the moment. I just try to take a deep breath and promise to be nicer the next day. It's probably not the best way to go about it, but I've learned that right now, it's all about surviving. Big hugs, lady.

Thx guys! Im headed out but I'll post the details later. Both fights were pretty stupid. I'm actually more upset about the pattern of him either not listening to me or just blatantly ignoring my wishes than the actual details. I'm not sure he gets that. I know he doesn't mean to hurt me, he's just clueless and doesn't think. Or something. I don't know.

I'm off to see yet another lactation consultant. Although (knock on wood) I've been plug free for 2 days!!!! Maybe turning a corner? I hope!!!

Woohoo, good luck, bostonmichelle!!!

5kcandlesinthewind, have you heard about this play? I only found out about it last week and decided to sign up for the early release tickets.

I had heard about it a while back, but had totally forgotten about it until an article showed up in my FB feed the other day.  I hope it's awesome! I was reading Ben the first HP book at bedtime for a while - I figured it was more about the habit than the actual material, so I might as well read him something that I was interested in, heh - but he's gotten to where he's grabbing at the book and looking at pictures, so we stopped. If I ever find more than 5 seconds to myself, I'm going to have to do a re-read myself.

For the first year and a half of my daughters life, i didn't like my husband. It's such a hard adjustment. Thankfully we are in a great place now. In our case we had to both figure out how to communicate in a totally different way.

I have a random. Three days ago, I saw a flier online for a local cupcake baker who will sell them out of her van, food truck style. I made a note that she would be in town today and tomorrow. I was planning on taking my girl down after her nap today. Today around noon, my phone rang and it was the cupcake lady saying she had s delivery for me. Apparently my mom in CA rembered me talking about this lady back in March and ordered Halloween cupcakes for me. ❤️

5kcandlesinthewind, I love that you're already reading HP to Ben. I approve of the early indoctrination

caligirl22, how sweet of your mom! You've got a half coming up, right? Is it Newburyport?

I have a restaurant rave! Last night a couple of my girlfriends and I finally checked out Alden & Harlow in Harvard Square. Its tapas/small plates, which sometimes makes me uneasy since I'm not the most adventurous eater, but everything was amazing. I tried rabbit for the first time and loved it.

I ended up skipping it. I woke up feeling awful that morning. I feel like a loser now but it was probably for the best. I did the Brooklyn half a few weeks ago though which was pretty great! Some organizational issues but the course was great and the energy was fantastic.

Aww, don't feel bad! I'm glad R&R Brooklyn went well. I'm not surprised it had some organizational issues since it was an inaugural race. I did the Brooklyn Half in May and the energy was fantastic for that was well (but OMG that hill in Prospect Park, I was not expecting that!).

Seriously! I knew it was coming but I didnt realize how long it would go on! The park is beautiful. I had never been there before. It took quite a while to figure out how to get out of it though!

I have a random. I bought an aster plant when we went apple picking, was it 2 years ago? It's still alive, and blooming. Leggy and sad looking, but blooming

I used to live on Prospect Park West and got engaged in the park. Its one of my favorite places

I remember you saying that. I actually thought of that during the run. :)Did you guys get married in Brooklyn too?
