OMG I was just in an uber. The guy told me that this lady wanted him to drive her 4 and 5 year old kids 40 minutes away to their grandmother's house. He was like ummm no ma'am I'm not taking these kids alone. And she argued with him and said that other uber drivers do it. WTF! People are insane.
I'm so overwhelmed. I returned to work today after being off for 6 work days. My son's preschool was closed so I had to take off. My H is a gov't contractor with sucky leave so it's mostly on me when my son is sick or school is closed.
My boss hates doing my job, so she will only do what is absolutely necessary. I got pulled into a volunteer project that is taking up more time than I thought it would.
I am in my final semester of grad school. My classes are every 8 weeks and like a crazy person I signed up for two classes each session to get it over with. I wanted to end the year being done. It's been hard going to school with a toddler.
I know I'll feel better when I get organized and I'm able to check things off of my list.
Sometimes they say "look we not stopping in St Lucia, we going on to Martinique and tomorrow when we have enough people who need to go to St Lucia we will take you back down there."
Omg hahahaha
That did happen to us on our honeymoon in Hawaii. The pilot left Honolulu, dropped all of us off in Molokai, was like "I'm going to take this one lady over to Lanai and I'll come get you guys to go to Maui." They also had to weigh us before we got on the propeller plane
I'm beginning to understand better why you don't like Hawaii lol.
My gym had a special class for the holiday yesterday, and my sister and I went, not realizing that "turbo kick pi-yo mashup" meant a 2 hour class (instead of the usual 50 min). Even though we left around the 90 min mark, I'm sore today in places I didn't even know I had muscles (like under my rib cage).

An actual fly/gnat, flew into my left eyeball on Sunday. It was a very traumatic experience. Couple that with an expired contact lens prescription, and my last pair in my eyes at the time the little bastard flew in my eye.
I don't like wearing my glasses as a necessity. My doctor's appointment is on Friday for an eye exam.
rootbeerfloat That sounds like a lot of fun. I LOVE Chalene Johnson. When I lost weight pre-kid I used the Turbo Fire program. I need to see if there are any gyms in my area that offer Turbo Kick. It's my soulmate workout . For some reason I just can't get with the DVD program to lose the nursing weight I gained.
I'm starting swimming lessons on Sunday! I know how to swim but not like swim for exercise. I want to do a triathlon because I realized I probably won't do anymore marathons and wanted something to challenge me.
I hope I don't suck! Also, tmi but I guess this means I need to get my bikini line together lol.

I'm so glad you posted this! I was tempted to start swimming lessons so that I can properly learn all the strokes (I'm good with freestyle and backstroke), but I was a little embarrassed because of the black people and swimming thing.

Sent from my XT1096 using proboards
Oh you are more advanced than me lol. Well I guess I could attempt the backstroke but I haven't done that since I was a kid.
I joined a fancy gym with a pool so decided I need to get my money out of it.
Plus I've realized I'm getting "old" and need different forms of exercise from soccer and running because my body just can't handle those daily anymore :/

I bought new bedding for the master bedroom. I haven't purchased a new set since we bought the house. I'm pretty pumped. It looks like a magazine spread.
I want to learn how to dive. When I took swimming lessons as a kid diving never worked for me. I couldn't get the form down and then water would shoot up my nose. I'd like to do more swimming for exercise. So I say Black Lavender go for it!
brandnewday I love it. The colors look so rich. I love getting new bedding. I feel like it can quickly and easily update the look and feel of your bedroom.
My avatar really stands out in this board now. I wish I could remember why I have John Tesh as my picture, but I actually have no idea. It's been so many years now, so I'll probably confuse myself if I change it. Although, I'm tempted to use a picture of my girl Joanne the Scammer. Don't ask me why I find that fool so funny. At least I'm appropriately ashamed of myself.

Funny enough, I always look at him and think it's the crying guy from Dawson's Creek.SaveSave

Because he's fucking hilarious. Truly. Honestly.
@barefootbarista, for so many years, carpool lanes were the bane of my existence. It's been 4 years since I've been in one and I can still work up an amazing rant. The way the one we had in middle school was set up, it was a really easy way to see who the assholes in lie were!
@kirkette, we went down to Lagos while we were in Portugal. I think we're going to go every 2-3 years now. Favorite! The only bad thing was that my husband picked it solely because of the slave museum and their website listed the wrong opening hours. Long story short, we didn't get to go and he was SO bummed. But, next time.

Omgosh. I'm sorry this happened! Have you thought about LASIK? I've been thinking about it for a long time but I'm so afraid. I don't wear contact lenses (also afraid of those lolol) and I only wear my glasses for a few things. So most of the time, I can't see jack.
sfy I had LASIK done 10 years ago. Best decision ever. I haven't had any issues. I actually haven't had an eye exam in two years. Which is bad, I need to schedule one. My vision before wasn't terrible though. I was near sighted and had a -1.50 prescription.

I think I have a -1.25 which I can't tell you what that means but it sounds like it's close to yours. They always tell me my vision is not bad at all, and I'm always like, "Well, whose is?" I can't make out leaves on trees, have to be close as hell to see street names on signs and can barely see anyone's expressions on television without them. Ugh. I probably need to just do it. 10 years! You're like a vision OG .
Am I going to have to explain why I hate Portugal with the heat of a thousand suns to all of you like I did on MMM? Why have so many people vacationed there?! THAT PLACE IS HELL ON EARTH.
Bom dia! Is this some Brazilian nationalism hatred? I feel like it must be. It's way too amazing for you to give me something legitimate. My husband was 45 hot that they seemed to be erasing everything about the Moors, however. That was legit, but I'm like, if you feel that strongly about this, how the hell do you live in the US 24/7?

Do it do it! My best friend from HS worked for this well respected LASIK surgeon. Based on her recommendation I went for it. I'm so glad I did. I'm sure the surgery has only gotten better over the years.
Oh mercy, @natariru! I was not expecting anything like that. I'm so sorry that happened to you .
It's cool. I ate my feelings. Lots of warm pasteis de nata & bacalhau com natas... Heavy cream galore. And since I had to walk uphill both ways to class since no one near the campus would rent to a "Brazilian whore", I didn't gain any weight! Win win

aqualuv, so great to see you here. It's been so long! You will rock your last classes. Good luck with all of your obligations. 05heel, you are a trip! @natariru, that is horrible! You are justified in your hatred. The worse.
All of you -1.5 and below eyesight people can just get the hell out. I'm pretty sure that's how well I see with optimal vision correction. My contacts need contacts.

I have -4 in my left eye and perfect vision in my right eye. I just let my right eye do all the work. My H thinks it's hilarious to cover my right eye when we are at the movies.

Lol at your contacts needing contacts.
My boyfriend cleaned up and moved my glasses to a random shelf trying to be helpful. Then he was travelling last week and wasn't home so it took me a few min to find them. So when I saw him over the weekend I told him to please don't mess with a blind persons glasses. When I told him this I was standing 2 feet from where I had left my glasses and he asked if I could see them. I told him no, they looked like a random black blob (they're maroon).
He was like wow I didn't know you were that blind, I'm really sorry, I will never touch your glasses again. Lol. The struggle is real!
I could ruin Italy, and Paris, but I'm going to have to leave it alone.
Those were the only places where I've ever been called a N***** loudly, to my face, and shamed in public. Both times, it was by gypsies darker than me, the were both blue and ashy, so I was all sorts of shocked and confused. They were also both brought on because I declined sexual advances.
Yeah I have no desire to go to Italy after I heard a lot more things about their racism.
