Confessions? Random brain waves?
Hopefully we aren't totally confessed out.
Confession: I used to laugh at the idiots on the bump who talked about phantom baby movements. But damn if I haven't been having weird gas that feels suspiciously like a baby once did. So much so that I confess I took a pregnancy test the other day, despite having 99% effective Mirena. I was paranoid I was going to end up on "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant."
Random: Working from home is lovely.
Complaint: I am in a catch 22 at work. I need to backfill an open spot on my team, but I'm struggling to find time to recruit/interview...because I'm doing the work of the spot I need to backfill. Circle of death. Arrrggghhh.

Re: Confessions? Random brain waves?
I have had gas bubbles that feel like baby movement since I had Lila. There must be extra space in there or something
I have no confessions. Sin Free Zone
I was snoring so loudly that I woke myself up at around 5 am today.
We're seeing a few houses this weekend and I'm trying not to get too excited about them, but they seem to have real potential. I know better than to get my hopes up because everything we see is disappointing, but I just can't help myself.
I've been feeling "baby movements" all week.
I am in a social rut. F has been travelling so much, and I've been so busy at work, that I feel like I'm only a functional person, with no social life. By the time Ian goes to bed, all I want to do is read the paper, watch a little TV, and crash before I get up to start it all over again. I'm a single mother until November 14 and it can't end fast enough.
I've reached the post-pregnancy massive hair loss phase. I was washing it last night and it was coming out in clumps. It's incredibly thin right now and it looks terrible. I pretty much wear a ponytail all the time. I want to go get it all cut off, but I'm afraid I might have an actual bald spot somewhere.
Confession: when I'm bored I read wikipedia articles about murders. This combined with my choking Christin incident last weekend is pretty weird, right?
Random: Our power went out last night and only half the house came back on. I thought it was the breaker so I called the landlord and they're having issues also, and it might involve an electrician. Annoying, considering the fridge happens to be on the side of the house where the power is out. Great.

I sometimes read about serial killers on wikipedia.
I'm sitting on a hotel bed in my t-shirt and undies with a laptop on my lap working. I am too lazy to get dressed.
I have had such bad acne lately that sometimes I am seriously too embarassed to go out in public.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
You googled murder?

me too! I also research things like the shortest people ever.
LOLOLOLOL! No! If I'm reading an article and it mentions some serial killer or missing person or something, I like *always* have to go to wikipedia to read about it. Then I click on the categories like "Murdered People in Illinois" or whatever and read about those, too.

Have you read about this guy, yet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._H._Holmes
I'm still pissed about my scooter. I'm happy I got him back, but the tow truck guy just dropped him off and I got a good look at all of the damage and it made me so angry. It's cliche, I know, but I hate how people think they're entitled to just steal from other people. Forget raping and murdering. If my kid became a thief, I'd disown them.

When I am bored I look at the Missing Children and Adults websites to see if any of them were riding the bus with me in the morning.
Last night, Mr. Mod accidentally turned on the dehumidifier in the middle of the night. It is loud and makes our bedroom really hot. It woke me up around 3am. I leaned over him to shake him awake to turn it off. As he woke up he raised his arm and elbowed me super hard in the left eye. I was sure I would have a black eye today. I don't think I do (although it still hurts like a mofo) and I am a tiny bit disappointed because, what an awesome story would that be?
Mr. Mod leaves for two weeks today and I haven't decided how I feel about it.

Biitch please. I read the book!
I still think you should take them on Judge Judy. She's the boss, applesauce!

He was in the Devil in the White City book. Leo DiCaprio will play him in the movie.
My crackerjack google street view team tells me it's an apartment building, which would explain the lack of arrests.
I hate people.

can't they fingerprint? ask witnesses who was using it?
I'm going to call the detective and ask him what the chances are of finding who stole it, but I got the impression that they consider this a closed case. Like, look! We got your scooter back! You're welcome!
And I am incredibly grateful they found it and impressed that it was still even on their radar, but damnit, I want revenge or something. Or to get my friggin $90 charge for having it towed from where they found it to the tow yard back. That one really frosts my cookies. Grrr.

Doesn't this make you Chad's Meemaw. And Ms. Wintour's Great Meemaw? You must be real proud.

Confession - my life is the worst it has ever been right now.
Random brain wave - I still giggle at the idea of NEY'rs going to GTG's.
That doesn't sound good. What's going down, J&J?

I'm a lover, not a fighter. I google porn when I bored sometimes. It's never occured to me to google murder, weirdos.
J&J, your confession made me sad. I don't know what's going on, but I hope it gets better very soon for you.
