    My Lo & Sons bag came yesterday and I lied to MH about how much it was. And he still gave me shit because it was too $$.
    I got mine too! Do you like it?  I haven't tried packing anything in it, other than my work laptop that was too big, but I want to maybe try it out this weekend.  I love the color.
    I played with it a little last night and it seems awesome! I can't wait to use it!

    @snshne322 H likes to be the person who takes care of the outside cooking, which is why I never learned.  HOWEVER, I think it's mostly a male pride thing because he doesn't actually enjoy it.  When I told him I'm buying a grill this weekend, he said, "No, we're fine.  We don't need one."  This probably came from his lack of actually wanting to grill.  My response was, "I'm teaching myself to grill so don't bother trying to discourage me."
    OMG, Phil is obsessed with grilling.  I got him a grill cookbook last year for Father's Day and he flips through and picks a recipe like every other weekend, then he takes out the page, tapes it up on the cupboard, and goes to town.  It's ADORABLE.  Everything he's made has turned out really good too.

    summer.  Instead we are going to visit my friend who is a professor and teaching a term in Florence right now.  And this might be flameful or better for a confession tomorrow, but I'm really thinking about buying some Crocs sandals for my trip...
    @lauren620 I got these http://www.ahnu.com/women-yoga/maia/AF2406.html?dwvar_AF2406_color=CCHP#start=8&cgid=women-view-all, and wore them all day in Disneyland. They are SO SO SO comfortable. And maybe a teeny bit cuter than crocs?  I don't care much about cute shoes, but I do care about comfort, and these are the BEST. Plus, I love the soles - they really grip, so you don't feel like you're going to slip and fall.

    I just want something I can walk around all day that isn't going to kill my feet and looks good with dresses and maybe an occasional pair of shorts.  These are the Crocs I am looking at. I mean, they aren't anything spectacular, but I didn't think they were that bad.  I'm normally anti-Crocs, but I'm looking for functional!

    I really want a pair of the new Toms sandals, but I haven't seen any in stores and I want to try them on to see how thin the soles are before I buy them.

    I have the Strappy Wedges and the ankle straps aren't bad at all!  The ankle straps on the sandals don't look too different, so I think they will be ok.

    Sixth Anniversary 1000 Comments 100 Love Its First Answer
    edited May 2014
    My dog decided today that instead of letting me know he had to go out, he'd pee all over the floor.  In FIVE SEPARATE PLACES.  He's normally so good, I don't know what's gotten into him.  Now there's no where to play with my 10 month old because he peed everywhere.

    Also, it's my anniversary today and to celebrate we're going to the carnival.  We're very romantic.  Oh, and we're eating Chipotle for dinner.  That pretty much sums up our relationship. 

    ETA: I cleaned up the dog pee, but the carpet is still wet. ugh

    @snshne322 re: step counters. They are very addicting. I have a minimum goal everyday, but my actual goal is way higher.

    It is super warm here all of the sudden. Apparently we bypassed spring and went right into summer. All I want is an ice cream cone and I can't have one!!

    I'll try not to judge you too hard if you wear them when you come to Boston.  Which is when BTW???

    I don't know!! I need to figure that out ASAP!  You said after next week, right?

    @MrsJenE‌ PM either Shep or myself for details, we're doing a G2G in CT. Didn't mean to exclude you guys. We planned this on fb and I'm not friends with you guys.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”
