Randoms.
H and I have community chapstick. It's this EOS chapstick ball thing that sits on the dining room table near the front door. When we're sitting talking, it's funny to watch him pick it up and use some. He just talks and slathers it on, then smacks his lips, continues talking. The best part is watching him put it back in the center of the table. Because, you know, it's the community chapstick.

Re: Randoms.
lol kind of like a salt shaker, everyone uses it then puts it back.
I don't have any randoms. I'm just blue about the recent events.
I'm more impressed than I should be that he puts it back. That would never, ever happen at my house.
I have no randoms, just complaints. I'm going to sit on them for a while and probably start my own post. Because I'm like that, and I'm pissy.
-I'm debating between going home early or not. My stomach is aching from the donut I had yesterday. I haven't used my sick time yet, but today might be a good day to do so.
-My co-worker asked me a question about why we took out a room in one of our drawings. Instead of taking my word for it, he called the contractor to ask him the exact same question. He got the same response. I was close to choking someone.
Musical randoms, not so tame. Mostly rap.

I am BEYOND sick of hearing the receptionist in our office tell the same stories to 15 different people everyday. My office is right by the front desk and it gets SO, SO old. She is 70 years old, and while she is very sweet, she is a WAY oversharrer and will tell random people about how she had bad diarrhea last night or about her random food allergies (she can eat cooked bell peppers, but not raw ones!) or cat stories.
UGH.
My mom always let me use her when I needed an 'out.' If I had kids, I'd totally use them to get out of stuff too.
Excellent point guys. I feel like people have a false perception that G is high maintenance and that I'm a schedule nazi but really, I just want to watch MTV at night and eat ice cream lately.
Scotty, I try to have a community chapstick, but H won't let me. He is a bit obsessive about his chapstick and gives me MAJOR side eye when I touch his. Not because he's weird about me using it (ok, yes he is - he won't roll it up past the tube part because "that's how they get broken" but I always roll it up a little because I don't like the feeling of the plastic tube scraping against my lips, and he comments on this every time I touch his) but because I constantly lose mine. His stays in his pocket when he's at work, and as soon as he comes home he drops it on the little console table with his keys and it doesn't move from that spot.
Mine is in my purse, the diaper bag, the coat pocket of any of my 20 coats, in the crack of the couch, on the coffee table...it could be anywhere.
And yes, I have multiple chapsticks but I couldn't tell you where ANY of them are right this second, so if he were home I would just mosy on over to the console table and use his, and he would get all silently irritated about it.
bad: One of my good friend's mom passed away this week. I feel awful for her, she hasn't spoken to anyone since she got sick a month ago. Our mutual friend and I were researching Hindi traditions last night to figure out what to send and we went with a fruit basket. I hope we didn't get it wrong. Also, it is the first of my friends to have a parent pass.
good: Our other friend's baby was born with PPHN 16 days ago. Poor thing was transferred twice within the first day of his life and ended up getting his first helicopter ride to Jefferson for ecmo treatment. Luckily, the didn't need ecmo, just aggressive sedation and the vent. He finally came off the vent two days ago and now is just on plain old O2 but his lungs still look bad so they won't let him go to a hospital closer to home.
His dad is such a fvvcking self centered fvvckface and that's all I am going to say about that without sending myself into a tizzy.
When I think about both of these thing together I end up with the Circle of Life stuck in my head.
Ever since I started using vaseline on my lips or the vaseline lip therapy in the small jar I have decided I will never go back to chapstick. My lips have never been this soft before.
Daycare is SO exhausting!

lol
jehawley, I dislike the scraping, too, and it'll just scrape the product off.
I got a pt job. I started today. I'm so excited and glad to be able to get out of the house.
We moved this last weekend and I was on a mission to get as much done as I could before starting my job today. I have 70% of our stuff unpacked and put away. I was very proud of myself.
VERY true! DD uses me as an excuse when she doesn't want to spend the night at a friend's house.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you. My Blog
This deserves a you go girl!
On both accounts.
I neeeeed my contacts to come in to the eye doctor. Badly.
I have eaten (which I originally typed as eated - maybe I should go post on the confederate dress article?) an entire sleeve of Thin Mints. The other sleeve is still sealed up, but it's only 2:19... we'll see!
I've applied for seven positions at the university in the past two weeks. I have two interviews scheduled and really hope I get at least one more. I'm ready to be outta this place!
We closed on our house on Monday!
DH has a guaranteed job offer in Salt Lake City for a lot more money than I expected coming out of the Army. Like, we wouldn't be nest poor anymore.
I am terrified of moving to Utah. Never ever have I ever wanted to even see the state of Utah.
I am hoping like crazy he gets a matching offer in the Cincinnati area. OMG
I'm having the worst week of the year, easily, so far. For the last seven days I feel like I've been on the verge of tears 24/7 over various things. I need to get out of this, but sh!t is stressing me out. And I'm over it.
Updated September 2012.
Cincinnati sucks hard. Go to Utah.
Blasphemy.
Nope. Truth.
Well, I'm just going to have to let you be crazy on this point.
Well, I've never lived in Cincinatti, but I've been to Ohio and I've lived in SLC
And SLC is awesome! Coupled with a great raise and I'd say you're golden. I loved SLC, and I even lived there before they repealed all those some liquor laws.
We drove through Utah once and it was the most beautiful state I have ever been to.
