My dad said he was going to send me my christmas present last week. I'm for certain there is probably a check in there. I leave for vacation on Sat and obviously I didn't budget him giving me money for the vacation, but I was hoping to have it by then just to have some extra spending money. But no package so far and no mention of him mailing it, so I doubt he's put it in the mail. Probably bratty of me!
You know that achey feeling you get with restless legs? My shot has made my entire leg all the way down to my toes feel like that for the last 6 hours. It's awesome.

I'm sorry Insult to injury, huh? *hugs*
My legs hurt at night. Hot showers make them feel better. Plus yoga stretches ... Bend over and touch my toes, lunges, downward dog.

Sadly my usual restless leg tactics aren't touching this one and it's not really clear what kind of pain killers are safe I may try a shower though.
I listened to my sister complain about her husband for two hours today on the phone. She is spending Friday and Saturday night with me so I hope she got it all out of her system.
DH leaves in a few hours for his uncle's funeral. He didn't know him that well and wasn't going to go but his aunt asked him to be a pall bearer. DD2 woke up about an hour and a half ago puking. She's thrown up three times, so it's not a weird one off. I'm slammed at work and now get to single parent for three days with at least one sick kid. I'm praying the other two don't get it.
I have Bluetooth in my car so the phone comes through the radio. I was driving home a couple days ago and Adele's "When We Were Young" came on, and I was stupidly excited to get to the part near the end where she hits that really high note (3:56 mark: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV8NqiYjuIc).
Right before she hit it, MH called me to ask if he could start on any prepwork for dinner.
DAMMIT!
(And while I really like "When We Were Young," I'm SO tired of "Hello.")
I shoot at 7:30 am in Vegas. Why would they do this to me?? Don't they know I want to go out and have fun?
Flameful - When my mom and I were driving together she threw a used tissue out the window and I legit yelled at her. W(ho)TF litters or thinks it's okay though?
How long do you wait for someone to turn up for a meeting. I'm standing outside a faculty members office and he's 10 minutes late. Classes aren't in session yet and he chose the time.
I usually wait 15 and then send an email saying to call me. But I have so much work to do and it's making me unreasonably frustrated to have to catch up on GBCN on my phone instead.

I am so irritated. H and I are trying to book at place through VRBO for President's Day weekend. I tried booking online this morning and it rejected my CC. I thought I mistyped something, so I tried again. Still declined. I tried another card. Also declined. H called the CC company (Chase) and triple checking that we have the correct ZIP Code listed for our account.
I just want to make a damn reservation... using my CC that has a $0 balance.
ETA: For some reason, our ZIP Code reverted back to our old one in Chase's system. They fixed it and I was able to book the cabin. Woohoo!

I said it yesterday, but I'll say it again. My first thought when I learned that my MIL is getting married is good, maybe she'll stop asking us for money.
I just came from a filling where a) the dentist accidentally drilled my tongue and b) finished by saying "That cavity was SO tiny, I'm surprised they recommended you get it filled!". Umm, thanks. That information would have been helpful a drilled tongue and $59 ago.

Faculty members are the worst.
Seriously, though, I think 10 min is a reasonable time to wait and then leave, sending him a follow up to let him to know to contact you to reschedule. I'm assuming this isn't something that has to be resolved today.

A few years ago I was driving and my brother was in the passenger seat. He had a drink in the cup holder...when he finally finished the drink he threw the cup out the window. I was like...what is your problem?!? Put it back in the cup holder! He got irrationally angry and we ended up in a huge fight over it lol. Literally though, what is people's problem??
My MIL is talking about moving from the tiny town her family is in to the area that her sons live in. She can barely afford to live in her paid off home in her current town. My H and his brother already had a discussion and said that they would help support her. We already don't have a lot of money to spare plus the oil field is crashing even more and there's no telling if my husband will be laid off. If he is, he won't be able to find a job making remotely close to what he's making now, so we will seriously have a very very tight budget. He didn't even consult with me. When I said something about how she could sell her cows and use that to supplement her income, he got all huffy about how I never want to spend money on his family. WTF dude. I'm just putting us first. You can't agree to give away hundreds each month and not consult me. What his mom needs to do is get a second job and save all the money from that. Instead, she thinks that she can just knit stuff for a second income....Her record month was like $200 in sales (she didn't mention how much she spent on knitting supplies, driving to the craft show, booth rental at the craft show, or how many hours she spent making everything). Plus she still gets biweekly acrylic nails and monthly pedicure...I don't even do that. I may be selfish, but I don't want to support his mom unless we absolutely need to.

I swear, I'd just hit post and he turned up!
It ended up being a great meeting, really productive. A big part of my job is charming faculty into trusting me, and this meeting was worth it in that regard.

We still have all of our Christmas decorations up. I don't know when we will be putting them away. We don't have any excuses--we are just lazy.
I'm not even lazy. My indoor Christmas stuff is all put way but damn it i like the extra sparkle the single stand of white lights adds to my house when I'm working long enough hours that i only see my house in the dark.
My mom managed to marry someone with even worse money skills than her. I wasn't actually sure that was possible. So now I get 3 people to take care of instead of 2. Yay?

Ouch! Is the dentist who filled it not the one who originally did your exam?
