Re: Say It Again...Say Anything.
What about buying workout clothes? That way the retail therapy gets done and you have something to help you to your goal.
The problem is, I want something specific. New boots - but that means I'll need to buy new jeans. :-) But I could use new workout gear - at least a few new bras!
Have you seen the pinterest tip for folding boot cut jeans (or other non-skinny jeans) so that you can wear them with boots without the weird bunching? Worked great for me! I can try to find the link since I forgot to pin it.
This week is freaking depressing.
A beloved colleague lost his mother after a long horrible battle with cancer. My boss's dad had a brain hemmorhage on Tuesday and died yesterday. And my mentor's adult step-daughter was killed in a car accident yesterday.
If you have prayers available for BK, LR, or ST and family they could really use them!

That sucks. They say death comes in threes...sure seems that way. T&P for them.
My sister works on a cancer floor and her desk is right outside of the room of a 20-something YO that lost his battle this week. She called me one morning and said that it was the worst night at work yet, seeing the family members.
I'm going to need some t&p. DH has the flu. The way he talks, it's the worst strain of flu that has ever existed and he's probably not going to pull through.
Are you sure it's not the plague? He could have gotten it from my DH.
That's possible.
He didn't think it was funny when I asked him how long he thought it would take for me to get a check from his life insurance.
I've had a really long and frustrating day -- I started the day trapped in my car in the parking lot at work (it's a half mile walk to my office) for two hours while it poured, the campus was flooded and buses weren't running. Then I missed a training I was supposed to go to (not because of the rain, just because I'm an idiot), the other available training is early tomorrow morning so I was all stressed out about getting to work tomorrow in time for that.... but Cooper is sick... again. So, I won't be going to work or the training, I'll be taking the kiddo to the pediatrician, on his birthday.
Add to that a nice hefty dose of we're broke because I took a paycut to keep my job woes.
And to top it all off our DVR is broken, all I want to do is curl up and watch some shows and I can't. WAH!
Hugs, Suzi! Hope tomorrow's a better day and that the little guy feels better soon!
Darn you for posting this. I saw them in the store last night and convinced myself that they couldn't be good so I wouldn't buy them :-) Now I must reconsider. They are Cheerios after all.
Can you imagine these mixed with chocolate Cheerios????
There is a big stink about this, apparently. There is a discussion now on the Politics board.
I saw that. And yes, mixed with chocolate cheerios, yummmmmmm!
Just added them to the grocery list!
Total gross-out moment.
I'm taking out the trash. It's one of those squish-it-down-as-much-as-you-can specials that weighs like 400 lbs. I have to dig deep to heave it up and into the trash can.
It's airborne just long enough for me to think, "Holy ***. The garbage guy left the lid open and it rained like 12 inches."
SPLASH.
I took the longest scrubby shower ever and used the super smelly good citrus soap that my MIL made... and I swear I can still smell the bottom-of-the-can hepatitis sludge on me.
I should probably go get vaccinated or something. Or drink a Clorox Margarita. But if I die from some weird unknown cause, you know the real truth.
Oh YUCK!
I'm thankful the trash guys always leave ours upside down.
Unrelated-ish to your story, how exactly does your MIL make that soap?
Why am I thinking that this would be a GREAT replacement for my addiction to Reese Peanut Butter Cups???
I not exactly sure how she does it but it's her hobby. I know it involves cooking, a KitchenAid mixer, olive/palm/coconut/essential oils, and shea butter. One of the exfoliating bars use poppy seeds. It's pretty neat. And probably edible
She also makes this ridiculously rich moisturizing lotion. I'm going to need her to make a barrel of it for me.
Does she sell this stuff? It sounds really nice....I love citrus!
i don't know what my son is doing to that trumpet of his, but it sounds like he is trying to squeeze the ever-living bajeezas out of a drunk elephant.
i need to think of an errand to run.
my photography blog
Poor, poor elephant.
I made my son wait an extra 20 minutes to be picked up from daycare why.... because I had to have peanut butter cheerios
I decided I needed a bowl for dessert.
So, what do y'all think about them?
I think that she either sells at a farmer's market or is about to start. I missed a huge chunk of the conversation.
