this place makes me sad.

my right hip joint hurts
my sneakers wore out the lining in the back of the heel after wearing them to the gym 4 times!

Re: complaints/randoms/anything
I just sent this to Moo, but it's mildly interesting. Maybe it isn't but I don't care.
Tim and I went to look at an apartment last night. The guy ends up double booking showings (no big deal, his wife just had a baby on Monday, so he's exhausted and frazzled, whatever), so there's another couple there with their daughter. This woman was like straight-up Southie.
He lets us in and we're going through the place, the little girl (maybe 4?) was running into the rooms "This is MY bedroom! MINE!" the guy is measuring rooms, the lady is like "we LOVE it, we'll take it!" Dude. After like 3 minutes in the place. Rude. So she starts filling out an application. I decide that we will also fill out an application because I just don't want this woman to win.
So we're all standing in the kitchen filling out the apps and the woman is talking to the landlord "I think I know you. From Smitty's Pub, you go there? No? Oh. Where do you live? Where does your wife get her nails done? She should come see me! I do nails in Newton! Let me tell you my sob story. My daughter is sleeping in our walk-in closet. We just don't have the room. We need a bigger place, I mean she is LITERALLY sleeping in my closet." (Uh, the kid is 4. Why didn't you move 4 years ago?!)
It was awky. We probably won't take it because he wants someone in there on Oct. 1, but I just couldn't let this woman win! She was so abrasive and weird. The kitchen was awesome, though. And it has a yard! A YARD!

DH is home sick. I HATE when he gets sick because he is so WHINY. He took really good care of me when I had a double ear infection and it makes me so mad because now I have to baby him. I don't do sick people well which sent my potential career as a nurse down the tubes. I am a jerk.
There is a GTG tonight for my local board and I'm carpooling with some people that I've never met. I'm pretty shy at first so I'm a little nervous but I want to meet people so I am going to go and hopefully have a fabulous time. I might get to meet Kristen!
I'm working every day until next Saturday to try and get caught up on some bills and I really really really don't feel like it. I know it's for the best to be debt free and to try to cushion our baby fund in hopes we get a BFP sometime soon.
Dude, what's wrong with Southie?
where are you looking? in the general area you are now?
Bethie, I probably would have done the same thing. Don't let her win! Is it in my (former) 'hood? If so, yay! You would be closer to me
I am so pissed at my (former) employer. I don't want to be job hunting right now. I liked my job. This fuucking blows. Pity party for one.

She was orange! With sticky black curly hair!
Nope, looking closer to Tim's job.

Zane's job situation is getting worse and worse, and I'm tired of the perpetual bad mood that he walks around in. I've been nothing but supportive of him, and I know there are no jobs out there right now and he's doing everything he can. Still, I need him to be something close to the guy I married three years ago, not this grumpy, irritated thing he has become.
I don't know how to explain it because we're not fighting or anything. He never snaps at me. He's just not himself, and I feel like I have to walk on pins and needles around him and not do anything that could add to his stress. One minute, he's wonderful and playing with Ethan and joking and helping around the house, and the next it's like the end of the world if I ask him to walk the dog because I'm feeding the baby. He'll never say anything, but I can just feel the aggravation seeping out of every poor of his body.
I think we're both just tired. It's making me sad. I miss my Zane. Every morning he looks like he's being sent to the firing squad when he leaves to go to work. He's having chest pains. He's depressed. This just sucks.
This was long, and I don't even know if it makes sense. I think I'm just trying to get all of the thoughts out of my own head.
What a weird lady. If my kid was sleeping in a closet I damn sure wouldn't be telling anybody about it. Not even to get an apartment. I would think the landlord would prefer you guys over them just based on my assessment of a person who lets a kid sleep in a closet for 4 years.
I have to go to a rheumatologist next week and I'm going to spend all weekend trying to practice not revealing that I think fibromyalgia is mostly bullshiit if they mention it.
Also, when I googled "what to expect at first rheumatologist appointment," i found a message board post with this signature:
Autoimmune hepatitis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, asthma, psoriasis, Reynaud's syndrome. Possible lupus and/or Sjogren's Syndrome - diagnoses pending.
I'm pretty sure she forgot to list Munchausen's.
The nerve!

I know! She seemed more than a little needy. And the place allows pets (the woman upstairs has a lab) and these people have a freaking German Shepherd. The place isn't THAT big, geez.
Also, this is biitchy but I overheard her H telling her their income for the rental app and ours is a lot more than theirs.

I still lurk. I am sad about the board. ML isnt as funny. I feel like I know the crazy rental lady.
SB- I just read your name and thought of that song "Sarah Beth is scared to death..." you know what one I am talking about?
Eh I got nothing else except that I am going to starbucks and having some delish oatmeal. YUM
Ok one more thing- with all the views on this board there has to be more lurkers! come on people post!
We got an estimate for re-carpeting our small basement. $2500. I wanted to tell they guy to go carpet himself.
I had a bee in my car yesterday. It divebombed my pumpkin spice latte while I was on the highway, it almost made me get in a wreck. I screamed BEEE!!!! at it in hopes that it would go away. Didn't work.
good luck with your interview audrey.
buddha, that sucks I hope zane can find something that doesn't make him miserable soon.
I never see my H anymore. He's working two full time jobs right now, he leaves around 3 in the morning comes home for a few hours in the afternoon while I'm at work then leaves for his second job and comes home around 10:45 when I'm in bed, we talk for about 5 minutes then he's asleep. It sucks.
I love you, man.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis years ago! I always forget about it because the doctor didn't recommend any treatment and it doesn't affect me at all.
I also slide into the doldrums in September and this year is no exception. Starting next week, F will be away or working nearly every weekend until Thanksgiving. It makes me lonely.
It was beautiful and chilly this morning, which made me realize Ian's wardrobe is inadequate for the fall. I need to shop this weekend, and I hate that so many toddler boys shirts have stupid sayings or pictures on them.
I just backed out of doing a 100-mile bike ride on Sunday. It's last minute, and I feel really guilty.
I want to eat lunch as soon as I get to work no matter what time it is.
I think about eating all day. I feel like I am constantly hungry. I think it also makes me less productive. I do better if I stuff myself silly.

Do you sit at a desk all day? I feel like I do the same thing, especially if I have no projects that involve leaving my desk. I contribute my weight gain to my cubicle monkey job.
CMC, I'm so sorry you're dealing with finding a job right now. : (
Bethie, that woman sounds annoying. I hate when people try to "schmooze" their way into things w. connections, even as feeble as "I can do your wife's nails."
my shower is Sunday. I'm excited for that. There should be around 40 family members and close friends (remember that I have 8 siblings and J has two 'sets' of families, no inappropriate gift-grabby invites went out) and I'm kinda not looking forward to being the "center" of attention. But I'm trying to think of it as the BABY is the center of attention, not me. And there will be really yummy cake. So. WIN.
tomorrow I am getting my eyelashes tinted for the first time. I'm excited for that. And an hour massage. heaven.
You should put it in your signature so we all know what a hard life you lead.
Tators, I have never heard that song. Googling tells me it's by Rascall Flatts, which explains it. I don't really listen to country music.
Buddha, I'm sorry you guys are in that situation. It must be so awful for him, and for you.
The nerve!

Do you have blonde eyelashes? You'll LOVE it!
It's kind of uncomfortable, especially if they don't use the natural tint (I go to an Aveda salon and it's not bad, but I've had one that was a little stingy before). The main thing is that it kind of feels weird to keep my eyes shut that long with the protectors on. The results are awesome, though!

Oh, and I have a tumor on my pituitary gland. I HAVE led a hard life.
Miles had his 9 month dr's appt today. He's a big boy: 21 lbs, 8oz (70th percentile); 30" tall (95th percentile). The doctor told me we have to get better at transitioning him to table food, so that's our newest challenge (especially because he's not into eating at all).
Meh, I'm not that upset about the board. I feel like it ebbs and flows. Sometimes it's really quiet, but then it picks up for a while. I'm chalking it up to everyone being out for Rosh Hashanah.
Good mojo to you, Audrey! CMC, I'm vibing for a new job real soon for you.
best of luck, Audrey!
Buddha, that's hard. : ( It's hard for Z because he's unhappy and hard for you because you have to live with him. Plus from what I gather, you're super happy about your own situation lately with the teaching and stuff and that might be hard for him to take, even on a subconscious level.
We got a call regarding fundraising cards yesterday and I answered the phone. The dude was WEIRD. Talking all slow and weird-like, like he might be missing something or coming down off a trip. Then he introduces himself as "Brother Weatherford" from the church of LDS and I felt a lightbulb go off in my head. I know this isn't rilght to say, but I just KNEW he was weird.
