Thanks everyone, I am starting to feel better. Now I just have to figure out what my taste buds are slightly numb on the sides of my tongue. I'm too scared to look at Dr. Google, so if it doesn't get better soon I will probably go to urgent care. Fun.
RBP, thank you for making my morning with that pic of Biscuit. <3

H has today off and I don't. Since I WFH, he has just been sitting on the bed on his computer chatting with me. I'm happy to have the company but it's making me extremely aware of how much time I spend on the internet.
It was pretty hilarious. Biscuit was so jacked up for the race! LOL. He took a victory lap after he won. I was dying.
How do you get him to race? Do you just stand at the finish line and call him? And what was his prize (besides the satisfaction of knowing that he's the fastest)? This is all pure amazingness.
I looooove days like that, except insert "school" for me.
No other random to add.
ETA: Oh wait, I have one. I asked the director of DD's school if there was school all week as usual or if they were observing the holiday. She asked "what holiday?" and then I realized I was thinking of Columbus Day. Um, yeah, the French have ZERO to do with Columbus Day. Luckily, Nov. 11th is a holiday here, so I pretended I just confused the month.
It was in the 40s overnight, and the high today is in the 50s. The AC is still on in my office. And I left my office window open over the weekend. It is FREEZING in here.
On the plus side, the Diet Coke that was in my drawer is nicely refrigerated.
I bought some Nike Pro tights for my half this past weekend. I wore them for my half yesterday, washed them, and noticed that the waistband was separating from the fabric. I was so irritated. Thankfully dicks let me switch them out for something else, so I got a really bright thermal running shirt.

I burned the roof of my mouth on a slice of pizza on Saturday and it's still annoying me to no end! my tongue just keeps going there...
DH is on his 6th week of 6 week sabbatical and while he didn't annoy me being home as much as I thought he would he also didn't get squat done around the house. If I were off for 6 weeks you could bet that the house would be in supreme organization.

I am watching the RHONJ reunion. I can't handle looking at Kathy's face. Why did she doe that to herself? I really lost respect for her. She was my favorite before.

Went to a wedding this weekend with a friend. We were sitting at the bar when this big burly black guy comes up and orders a bloody mary and is VERY specific about it. We started teasing him and talking. He tells the bartender to put our drinks on his tab (only beer was hosted--the horrors!). He then introduces himself as the bride's gay brother-in-law. I nearly died at that introduction because he said it so off handed with this huge smile. Way to own it! He was fantastic and a hilarious dancer.

I got an email on Saturday from the hiring manager that I interviewed with a few weeks ago. She said that I'm still being considered for the job, that they're just wrapping up a few more interviews, and that she'll be in touch later this week to set up a second interview. Woot!

Random1: We used Priceline "Name Your Own Price" for our upcoming Vegas weekend next month. Although we got a good deal ($100), I definitely wish we had a better hotel. We ended up getting TI. +o( I don't know much about this hotel (it's an old hotel on the strip, and granted I definitely have stayed at worse hotels on the strip, but the unknown is scary), but the reviews are so far so good.
Random2: DH found a frisbee at the dog park yesterday, and played with the dog with it a few times ^o) . DH knows doggie tends to overextend whenever he breaks to chase the frisbee. Dog is now nursing sore legs and paws. I don't like seeing him like this. He's a totally different temperament than I'm used to.
Random3: I have a feeling we're going to pay taxes, so I'm dreading working on our tax returns. I'm now on my last extended weekend, and I'm ready to +o( . So far so good, the amount due is decent, but it's definitely not giving me the incentive to finish.
Random4: I got a month's full of free used/unused work clothes from a relative this weekend
I really need to order a maternity coat online. I keep putting it off because I fear I won't find one that fits and will need it altered. I'm an xs and no one stocks xs maternity coats in store.
It's normally really hard to find an xs coat that fits because the arms tend to be too long, and the shoulders too broad. I don't want to pay for atlering on a coat I will only wear one season.
I'm tempted to break down and just buy a jacket (a down puffy one) because those have cinching at the wrists and the arm length doesn't matter. I work in a formal office and would have to leave a jacket like that in the car, though, ugh.

Cuff the arms. It may look a little silly but it will work.

I think the lips look good. They weren't too plumped. But the nose is weird.
Lips are fine. The nose changes her entire face. She looks silly.

Granted I don't work in your office, but you don't think they'd cut the pregnant lady a LITTLE bit of slack in the middle of the winter in terms of outerwear? In what kind of formal office would people see you in your jacket more than 5 minutes? Could you wear it until you got into the lobby and then take it off there and carry it? Leaving it in the car sounds like you might as well not have one.

I thought Kathy looked awful last week. But last night I thought she looked better than she did before surgery. (I realize it was taped at the same time but I guess I just am getting used to it?)
