I just found a $89 banana stand (on sale). I know I should pay for quality. Yada yada yada... But $89? To hold bananas? I have to say it....that's bananas!

OscarQ , for that much, I expect a banana stand like the one in Arrested Development. There's always money in the banana stand. (Someone please be an Arrested Development fan).

I might win a car. United Way just finished their annual campaign here, and if you pledge 0.6% of your paycheck, you get entered to win a car donated by a car dealership. I'm one of 10 finalists. In December, we all go to the dealership and get a key and whoever has the key that cranks the car wins. It's televised and everything.

I was in my friend's wedding on sunday. it was a BLAST! my feet still hurt and I may or may not have walked out with half a bottle of bourbon in my bag. in my defense I think I drank the other half personally
the best part was my STRONGLY R friend assured me she's not voting for trump. her new H who is a dem is working on her to vote for HRC but i'll take a non-trump vote. they're in NC so I am EXTATIC!!!!

the best part was that H was getting pissy and he drank a good part of the remainder out of spite. then a few hours later after we went to bed he very silently went into the bathroom. I'm 99.999% positive he was puking but will never admit it. lololol
I just went online to confirm my polling place for the zillionth time and saw that there was a PDF sample ballot. Upon opening it I geeked out. I know some of you have already voted but to see Hillary's name next to "For President" is so incredibly inspiring to me.
Oh and I got my yearly Shan Scan today - all clear!
Limited counter space. I hadn't thought of a hook before the search so that was actually perfect. I may convert to hanging all my kitchen counter crap and get everything off the counters.SaveSave
We are still waiting for the attorney to confirm how we have to make out our cashier's check for closing costs. I know we CAN get a check from our bank at 9am tomorrow morning and head right to closing; but it would be NICE if someone actually was organized enough to get back to us with this info already so we can get the check today (since we've been waiting since last Friday already), since Weds morning is already chaos. I seriously can't believe that in about 24 hours, all of this PITA purchasing stuff is done and we are alone with our new place.
How the heck do people do this more than once, or because they just feel like upgrading their place; this process is insane....

Some anti abortion nonsense popped up in my feed and because I'm a glutton for punishment I started scrolling through the comments, and there was one woman who said that since ultrasounds and genetic testing happen before 20 weeks, she couldn't imagine any scenario that would require an abortion that late. And then said she was "honestly asking" if anyone knew of anything otherwise. So I gave her 3 links to articles/interviews, plus some facts, and now I'm waiting to be told I'm a godless idiot. Lol.
My office rented a nacho machine for Cavs opener and WORLD SERIES GAME 1.
GO TRIBE. GO CAVS.
And also nachos.
What is this magical nacho machine? Is it like the cheese dispenser at gas stations?
Haha! Yes. It's the thing they have at stadiums and gas stations that you fill up with the bag of nacho cheese. And it also came with all the stuff: the containers, cheese, chips, jalapenos, sour cream, salsa.

This fuckwit on my town's political page posted a screed of anti-abortion nonsense on a fluffy post from our current state rep, and included a photo of a 28-week fetus. I was enraged. I reported it before I went to work, and it was gone by the time I got here. I suspect I was not the only one, but I have been salty all goddamned day as a result.
Also, the person running against our current state rep is a tea party uber conservative who refuses to say anything about her stance on LGBTQ rights despite being asked by her constituents repeatedly, and now MassEquality has issued a statement asking for clarification. She ran 2 years ago, and her campaign website, twitter and facebook pages were full of references to repealing gay marriage and imposing restrictions for abortion access. All of that has been scrubbed, so I assume she just doesn't want people to know what she really thinks. So now I'm posting on every single post she writes, tagging her and asking if she's clarified her stance yet. I told my husband it's like Trump's tax returns - I am going to keep asking her publicly until she either answers or its election day. Last time, she was literally holding court across the street from town hall on election day, sitting in a big throne-like chair underneath a canopy. So if she's there again this time, I am marching right on over to ask her in person.
I have spent the past two days doing nothing but calling people on the phone for work, WHICH I HATE. Also we're kicking off a cool new project and somebody in the department was goign to have to go to Florida for it, and I volunteered. So yay Florida! Alone! blissfully peaceful! yay! A different client just asked me to come to a meeting that day so I had to pass the Florida meeting off to my boss. Fucking hell man. 1. it's a cool project and 2. BLISSFULL SILENCE AND SOLITUDE. goddamit it.
I am just beyond cranky today. Like everything is pissing me off. EVERYTHING.
We're redoing our bathroom which involves taking delivery of heavy objects. One company said it was a curbside delivery (not on the invoice) but offered to bring it inside. And then demanded money, which I didn't have. I never have cash!
Another claimed they could put it in the doorway but couldn't cross the threshold. That was today. So they left an unweildly 250# box in my doorway, blocking my ability to close the real door. I do have a storm door, but I don't want to sleep with just that.
So now I'm trying to figure out how to move the damn thing. I have few friends here. H is gone. My contractor said he'd help... 2 hours ago.
I hate remodeling almost as much as I hate moving.
