    I ordered baked Penne at a restaurant last night. It was huge! I am still in shock over the serving size. It was really good but l could only eat 1/4 of it. Mh took a very large styrofoam container of it all to work for lunch. Now l am super jealous and wished l had it.
  • We were able to find a gently used Rainbow Systems playset for DS for only $300. We went and looked at it last night and will pick it up tomorrow. I am so excited. We would never be able to afford a set that large or well-built if we bought it brand new. It just needs a little pressure-washing and stain. Yay for Craig's List and people relocating!

  • I found out yesterday that I will have no life for the next 12 weeks. Both classes I'm taking this semester have killer workloads, and one is ALL GROUP WORK. I hate group work!! I live over an hour away from campus, work full time and have a kid. Coordinating to get together with group members is a nightmare.

  • Some idiot let their dog poop on the sidewalk in front of my house and didn't clean it up. It kind of blends in with the mulched flower bed so I'm totally not picking it up either. I don't own a dog for a multitude of reasons (judge away) and cleaning up dog crap is at the top of that list. I'm definitely not touching someone else's dog's crap.

    I hope the rule of things happening in 3s is good for a year.  In the last 5 weeks I have been in a car accident (minor), Hospital ER (dehydration from vomiting and stomach virus- sorry TMI), and last night during kickboxing I rolled the ankle that was an alien foot almost 2 years ago.  Put a fork in me because I am done!

    This happens to us a lot.  We don't own a dog because we aren't around enough to take good care of one.  People in our neighborhood walk their dogs and let them crap in our yard and don't clean it up.  Our neighbors dogs wander into our yard also.  They are a little better about coming over and cleaning it up though.  Probably not much consolation to my husband when he was walking through the yard barefoot one time and stepped in dog shit.

    I had a class like this.  And I hate when they always used the "we're getting you ready for the real world" crap.  Because, it most jobs, you don't have to get together OUTSIDE of work to do stuff.  Lots of wine and massages for you!

      EXACTLY! The professor gave that exact excuse last night. I felt like standing up in the middle of lecture and yelling "I've worked in the 'real world' for a long time now and can say with absolute certainty the group work in university is
    NOTHING like working with a team in the real world!"

  • I hate when you get the little nail polish bumps when you do your nails.  I can't for the life of me figure out what causes it.  I have tried every nail polish/combination/process.

  • Lines are long at Disneyland. I should be happy to just be here, but I feel like pouting about it being crowded on a Thursday instead. FWP. Once I'm out of this ridiculous line, I'll be appropriately cheerful, I promise.

    “You can have your wishes, your plans, but at the end of the day, it's out of your control"
    - Gayle Forman
    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

  • Apparently one of my coworker's wives works for Island Oasis so I have a Margarita and a Pina Colada mix that's going to be used soon.  Probably in the next 90 minutes.

  • My husband is gone for a work trip this week and I was just gone from the house for 6 hours and realized about halfway through being gone that I hadn't looked at my phone all day and that I had forgotten it at home.

    This means that so far today I have not spoken to another human being, and I am loving it!!!

    If you are wondering where I went for 6 hours that didn't involve speaking to another human being I went horseback riding and shockingly, despite how full the barn is, no one was out there, it was amazing. :)

    Unfortunately, no FP for the Matterhorn. We used a FP for the Cars ride, and still waited about 35 minutes. It's amazing how much we're still managing to accomplish, though.
