Thursday Randoms

Funny Weekend Ecard: Thursday is my favorite day to plan how I'm going to get out of the plans I already made for the weekend.

I'll start it since I haven't been around this week.

Re: Thursday Randoms

  • This is more of a confession, but I can't hold it in until tomorrow because it's driving me nuts.  My dad's wife is very sweet, but she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.  They're visiting me this week and I'm so tired of having to re-explain the jokes she doesn't get and explain the things she missed in the initial telling of a story.  It's all I can to not to roll my eyes like my 20 years younger self would have done, and I'm trying realy hard not to be rude (not easy for me).  She even asked if Harry Potter was a true story, but thankfully she WAS joking in that instance but since it happens so often neither DH nor I was sure that she was kidding at first.

  • My DH asked me yesterday if I minded if he went to a video game convention in Boston the week after my due date and what day I thought would be better. He was also surprised that I expected him to be at the hospital during the day with me the day after I have the baby. Husbands are funny.

    This is me today.  

    A couple things:

    1. I think I am raising a "spirited" child.

    2. Here is a new picture of our rescue puppy, Scout. image

  • It's snowing here today! Nothing is really accumulating, but there's big wet flakes falling form the sky and it's awesome.

    On a related note, I sent my kid to daycare in running shoes because it's October and it's not supposed to snow yet. Mom of the year.

  • Also, I really want to take a weekday off and just relax at home by myself. But I'm going to be getting a check in the next couple weeks (hopefully) for any unused vacation time that I have and I currently have 20 days banked so I keep telling myself the check is better.

    Yes, I'm being sarcastic :)

  • It took me a good 10 minutes to figure out how the mouth piece on my new Camelbak water bottle works.

    I may have permanently lost all feeling in my pinky toes due to the types of shoes I wear.  Oh well.  Worth it.

  • I bought a pair of Tony Lama cowboy boots, and they arrive today. I'm so flipping excited that I want to change into them the minute they arrive. I've always wanted actual cowboy boots, even as a little kid. I live in a big city in Northern California and there are very few Cowboys around, but I cannot tell you all the fucks I do not give. 

    Sorry Booney. If it makes it better, I bought a pair of pumps with actual heals on them a couple weeks ago.

  • I brought up what I believe were some legitimate concerns and some sound reasoning at work this morning and completely got shut down. It's going to be another "that's the way it's always been done" kind of day. I considered again trying to assist my supervisor and coworker since they're clearly on the wrong track and I know what's going on, but since they obviously don't want my advice I decided just to let them flounder in it this morning. It's 8:30 am and I have no more shits to give today. Have fun running around for three days making yourselves look like idiots. Maybe next time you'll spend 5 minutes doing what I told you needed to be done and the problem would be solved. Probably not going to happen...

  • I found out yesterday that one of my best friends who I thought was mad at me was just hiding from everyone.  She and her husband were fighting with his husband's mom and step dad over long standing issues and so they didn't tell her that she was pregnant with their third child until last week. So yesterday she came out of hiding. She is due late December or early January depending on the day the doctor looks at her. I am so trilled for them that they get to have their little girl.  I am ashamed that I thought the reason she had been missing for so long was that she was mad at me.

  • I hate when I'm at the grocery store and someone just stops in the middle of the aisle, especially when it's crowded. No one can get around or get what they need. That is not proper grocery store etiquette!

  • I think Thanksgiving and Christmas may be a bit over the top this year. They are all I think about right now. The food and new recipes I'm working on, the decorations, and how I'm going to arrange rooms. Things like that. My husband has taste rested recipes for me for the last couple of weeks because this is the first year that all cookies and other desserts will be gluten free for both holidays. He doesn't mind at all. "More practice!" He says. I just feel like I'm looking forward to them because they are a bright spot in a sea of gray. Thinking about them makes me slightly happy. I just wish I could get out of this funk.

    He's doing really well. We are all getting to know each other. He is so different from my last dog who loved to be petted. Scout is sweet and likes to lay next to you, but doesn't want to be petted all the time, which is new for me.

    He needs to learn to be a little less rough when he plays with us, but that is to be expected from a puppy, I guess. He is doing pretty good with house-training. A couple of accidents but nothing crazy. I have also caught the little stinker standing on my kitchen table a couple of times like it was cool!

  • I have bananas in the freezer so I can make banana bread tomorrow night but it's grossing out DH so I may just leave them in there for another week because I think it's funny.
    My husband let me know he wanted banana bread when he put two bunches of bananas in the grocery cart saying that one was for him the other for banana bread. They still have a few days on the counter before I will use them. The time I tried for the freezer the bananas didn't taste as good.

  • @NorthernLghts: DH left for about an hour the day we were going home from the hospital so he could pick up our dog at my parents house (so we'd have less driving with the newborn in the car. It was snowing.) I was a mess for that whole hour! Everyone who came in to talk to me was told to come back when he got back because I still couldn't think straight.
