There are kids talking about organic chemistry in the hallway, and I can't stop listening. I am getting too distracted to do my own work! LOL

I finally decided to add a signature. It's so much simpler than I thought it would be. I heart proboards.

That said I know I can go no adds on proboard but then I wouldn't be temped to shop for all the things that I see. It's obviously tracking the stuff I am looking at.

*I didn't sleep well last night, and I woke up with a headache, so I am fairly grumpy.

*I kind of want these shoes, in black www.6pm.com/madden-girl-viscious-taupe-patent

*There are 2 men here, looking through the law library archives. They look like they belong in a Muppets movie, and I can't stop giggling to myself about that, esp when they talk about being excited about the new prius model.

*Also, I might rage on the above mentioned men because they keep moving my crap.

*I did know it was pronounced Corey.

I have a new niece. Hurray! She was born exactly 40 min before her due date. My sister and BIL are going to be such awesome parents. I'm just sad I have to wait a month to see them all.

I bought a tub of sprinkles for the sole purpose of enjoying a spoonful every once in awhile. I had a spoonful this morning. It was an awesome decision.

:Y: I love sprinkles! I wouldn't be able to stop at one spoonful though.

I had a 6am teleconference call this morning. Yay for telecommuting!

And, this afternoon I'm going to try and bully someone into getting me a diplomatic USA passport. This should be entertaining.

H's brothers came over to our house last night. Generally speaking it went fine, they helped do some work on the house that H wasn't able to do by himself. The at supper Middle Brother is talking about his dog and how he left it in a 10x10 kennel for his 6 day vacation, no one is checking up on the dog, feeding it, etc. He said it's no big deal because he left an ice cream bucket full of water for the dog. Who the hell does this?? I'm so appalled. I told BIL exactly what I thought of that, things got rather awkward after that. Now I'm researching how I can turn him in because I'm not 100% clear on his living situation.

I had a dream last night that I was joining the Peace Corps and moving to South Africa. I was sad to be apart from DH but excited to meet Blessed.

I ordered 10 boxes of Wasa light and cripsy crackers yesterday. I cannot wait for them to arrive.

My friend got a new job and I am so excited for her. She's been at my agency as a contractor and will now be an FTE. Her current office sucks and treats contractors like crap. I'm so happy for her.

DH has a large ice pack that he uses to help with his migraines. Well, it got a hole the other day and little beads of a jelly-like substance got on the floor. Not a big deal. But then I saw the sad, pathetic look on his face because his ice pack had to be thrown away. It was so cute. We bought 2 ice packs to replace the broken one.

Congrats KC! I was born on my due date. Probably the last time in my life I was on time for something ;-)

[womet]

Congratulations Aunt KC!

RR, I am appalled at your BIL. I hope you can turn him in for his treatment of the dog.

[shortstax]

I have a Federal Public Policy class tonight...during the debate. I find this funny, but sad that I'll be missing the debate.

[ssmjlm]

I was hoping I could figure out a way for us to still get away around our anniversary, but with work travel for me, a baby shower, travel for my grandad's birthday, it's not going to happen.

I'm almost tempted to skip the baby shower, but I know my friend will be upset.

[Deleted]

I congrats auntie kc! My niece will be born this week (inducing tomorrow if she doesn't show up on her own). I can't wait.

I skipped the gym this morning because I had to work late last night. Now I'm just crabby.

[Awkward]

I just need to let this out. My brain is a million different places right now. I have too much to figure out, and sitting at this desk isn't helping.

I talked to my mom last night about my talk with my boss, and she absolutely thinks I need to take the job here. She thinks me moving without a full time job in my field is very irresponsible. I think I know what I want to do, but I'm having a hard time getting past the fact that my mother doesn't need to approve of my life. Worse, I got a little emotional when I was listing out my reasons for moving and her very first question was "are you taking your medication?" I'm tired of feeling like a crazy person whenever I show strong feelings. I need out.

[sockerheel]

I may be moving to Nashville (like ASAP) and I have very mixed feelings. It's a city I'm very familiar with, but I really like Texas and my life here.

[isabel]

My alma mater is hosting the first debate tonight and I am so excited about it! It's really cool to see such a small school getting so much national attention. Not looking forward to dealing with traffic today though.

It is not for sure, but Doggie Derkins might be getting a little doggy brother this month!

We've been talking about a 2nd dog, and just found out about a 1 year old golden who's available to come home. It might work out.

Nerd alert, RBP.

Here in the Netherlands people put them on toast with butter...it is a huge thing here. They sell them by the box and in different colors! I was told by a local that you are to serve this to guests after having a baby as well...I guess I better purchase some pink ones soon.

I completely empathize. My mom is too much in my business and while I know she only wants what is best for me; I need to make that decision on my own. Her passive aggressive behavior is enough to drive me to drink. And we see-saw between having a decent adult relationship to being back in the mother/daughter roles. Drives my husband nuts.

Oh you bet. My parents are also interested in him, so I will probably either have a new dog myself or a doggie nephew to AW. And AW I will!

That's a really good description of our relationship, and it doesn't take much to flip the switch. It's not a healthy cycle, and I know me moving on will help at least a little.

DS and I came up with the idea to make a cake "that looks like a birthday present". I'm excited that he's old enough to do this stuff with me now. I'm sure it's going to be a mess but he'll love it.

My H & I have been sleeping on the full-sized bed in the guest room for the last week & a half. It's so fun! Like we're in a hotel in our own house.

Aww...thank you! We are seriously like grown-up sized 12 year olds.
