Re: Say It Again...Say Anything.
So we can gather that Jax is thankful for the hide option on FB.
I think I have a pretty good life and just need to remember it sometimes, so I am doing it. But, just because I am thankful for my kids/family/job/the sky/etc. doesn't mean I won't get irritated with them.
Testing to see if I can post from the iPad since I did the update.
Testing to see of I can post in PARAGRAPHS.

That was my first thought. I hate the way people say "buh-in" for button!
awesome, isn't it?
i have a bad habit of saying buDDon. i try not to though if i think about it
I am REALLY trying very hard not to kick DH in the face.
We just got in a fight over a pack n play that we don't even own. We are going to be traveling for 3 days before we get to our new house and get the truck unloaded. We also have a baby that needs someplace to sleep. He says I'm being a Debbie Downer because I'm worried about where my baby is going to sleep for 3 days. Um yeah, so if I'm chipper and upbeat and all Brady Bunch about it a bed for our infant will appear like magic???
I support a kick in the face in this scenario. Wo the hell is gonna worry about where the baby sleeps if you don't?
I had a dead bug in my chicken salad at pei Wei this evening. Luckily (?) I found it near the end, but I still let them know. It was some kind of little mealworm looking thing, but darker in color. Haha, meal worm. Anyway, I showed them and they offered to prepare another salad for me, but I had already eaten most of mine, so I wasn't really hungry for more. They comped half our ticket. I thought that was nice... It basically cancelled out a family tab at pink berry.

It doesn't bother me so much when rrr does it because he has his own dedicated juice glass and cereal bowl, but my FIL drinks a glass of OJ at night, rinses the cup in cold water and puts it back in the dish rack. eew.
All weekend I have been right there to make sure it goes right in the dishwasher!
care to share how??
Did an advanced catalog search for the book I wanted in electronic format. When I clicked on "Request" it re-directed me to Overdrive. All I had to do was put in my library card number & e-mail address. Then wait for them to e-mail me that it was ready. I got the e-mail today (which took longer than I expected) & all I had to do was click on a link, put my library card number in again & then click a couple of links to request it in the format I wanted. When I selected Kindle, it redirected me to Amazon & I just had to push a button that said "Send library book to my Kindle".
awesome! i wonder if there's a way to just browse the library selection w/o having to request a specific book?
My IL's do this too. Just get a new glass.
Yeah, if you go to the overdrive site you can browse from there.
Did you use the silent alarm feature? That is possibly the most appealing thing I have ever heard! Waking up is rough.
That looks cool! I love technology like that.
Yes. I used it this morning. The band starts vibrating. I set it to wake me before 5:30 and it started vibrating at 5:13. Honestly, when I woke up, I didn't feel the "holy crap already" that I normally feel, so I am loving this feature on Day 1, but I did realize that I didn't have to get up that early since DH was taking the kids this morning, so I slept for another hour. I think I will set it for 6 tomorrow and see how I feel when it starts to go off.
In the review, I have seen some people say the activity calibration is off, but for me, it still gets me moving. I could sit at my desk for hours without budging, so at the reminder to get me up and moving has helped. I've added about 500 steps this morning that I wouldn't have normally logged.
That's super neat. Almost makes me wish I had an iPhone.
hehe
I'm having a hard time deciding what to do. MIL bought DH and I tickets for the Cowboys game this weekend on a whim while at a bar watching the game. (From some lady that she sees there for all away games)...
I really want to go because I haven't seen the new stadium and I love watching live football (and she's also offering sitting services for Saturday night, so we could drive up and have a short lil getaway)...
My problem is this, Sunday is the end of our "Crazy Campaign" at church. I work one of the services but I could easily get someone to cover that. It's just a 'big day' for the church. Micaela has a service project on Sunday afternoon with the Jr. High group and she's really looking forward to it. We host our weekly small group and Chad is supposed to smoke a brisket for it. The brisket can be taken care of... but it would really displace the group for the evening since we would have to find somewhere else for them to meet.
That's a lot of stuff to have to miss/ take care of for one football game. But the tickets are expensive and who knows if we would get the opportunity to go again any time soon.
I need to decide today so that I can make all the arrangements, but I just can't figure out what to do.
If I don't go... Then DH goes without me and I'm at home with the girls again for another weekend.
That's a lot of
for one freaking paragraph.
I feel your pain in situations like this.
I have no real advice. I would feel so guilty backing out of stuff like that. But then again, it's a great opportunity to spend some time with DH. I'm no help at all.
Thanks to recent posts I really need chicken flautas from LT, creamy jalapeno from Chuy's and pizza from Center Court.
Thank goodness all I have on hand is a turkey sandwich and some veggies.
since you can make arrangements for everything else, go to the game and enjoy the getaway with your hubs!
neat! i'm totally getting one for beau for christmas
i want to throw in the towel and cry for today.
nothing in particular, i am just having a sad day about people who are no longer with me. i'm sad about the first thanksgiving without my grandma's cooking, and the way she used to always love to watch people enjoy her turkey, dressing, pies, and jelly. i miss my dad terribly.
i guess also i'm sad knowing that my mom has to have poison flowing through her veins all weekend to try and ward off stupid effing cancer for another six months, and there isn't anything i can do to make it any easier for her, and she's going to feel so very awful. i hate not knowing how life will be for her, how much longer she'll be able to work, or be able to be on her own. that there's nothing i can do but watch her suffer. i wonder if she's doing all this because she wants to, or if she feels like she has to do it because she doesn't want to let us down. i'm mad that i know so many people who have been able to just get their diagnosis, have surgery and a round of chemo, and go back to normal life. why does she have to be the one that suffers through 14 years of this crap?
omg. it felt so good to share that with real people. thank you if you've read this far.
