Re: OL Tuesday
Dear Husband,
I know its silly but dont think for a second I dont appreciate and adore the fact that you carried my neon pink VS bag that said (Sexy in Pink) on it for the vast majority of the honeymoon because it was so heavy.
-Someone who appreciates the little things
Dear new pillows,
I adore you, I seriously had the best night of sleep I have had in months minus my needy kitties who had to lay on me ALL night.
-Well rested me
Dear Hair Magician-
I can not wait to see you on Saturday!

Dear Wind - Please stop.

Bio
Dear Julie,
We noticed that we slept very well on the honeymoon and they had a ton of pillows where at home we each only had one pillow and I always woke up multiple times a night. We went to target yesterday and got two king sized pillows to go in front back plus 4 down pillows to go in front. We spent about 140. I slept SO good last night so it was worth every penny.

Dear Continuation of last week's crazy work week,
Please end soon.
-Crazy, overworked OMH.
Dear Nesties -
Doesn't this just make you want to jump right into being a social worker?
Dear Bobbileigh - That's a great idea!
Dear Nest - Why do you not tell me when there is a new post? The "last posted" person and time doesn't seem to update until an hour after someone posts.
I for real lol'd on that.
Dear roided up guy who runs from my dogs everynight,
You should be scared of my little maltipoo and shih tsu! I know their tiny bodies and wagging tails must just look vicious to you! We laugh at you every night, and I give my pups a treat for being such good protectors and scaring you away!
Thanks for the laughs,
the lady whose happy lap dogs your run from
Dear Knotties,
I felt like getting on at work today. It's gonna be a good day
Dear sister,
I'm so excited to come over and hang out tonight, and I'm thinking I'll even stay the night. Yay for not being in an empty house all the time!
Dear car,
Please hang in there, and don't be too expensive to fix. You aren't worth much, so I don't want to pay an arm and a leg to repair the belt that is apparently very important and making mean noises.
Dear DH,
I wish you were home to take care of the car repair junk. I hate going to the mechanic!
One more...
Dear Shandars,
I am in love with your fruit loop baby picture. So adorable... and fueling the fever.
Bobbileigh,
I've almost always slept with two but they have to be the right kind. Maybe I'll talk Bill into trying out the king size pillows. However, first, we probably should work on the king size bed.
Julie,
I just noticed at certain hotels I sleep better than I do at home and I didnt think it was the bed so I tried to replicate it with the pillows and I think it may have worked. Also, Target has ones specifically for the way you sleep (back, side stomach). We had a cali king on our honeymoon and I actually didnt like it. I felt like I had to make an effort to be close and cuddle where as at home with our queen I like it better.
-Me
Bobbileigh,
I have the side sleeper ones and those work fairly well for me. They give out within a year or two though so I'm looking for something with longevity. Bill tends to flatten his out to paper thin within three months. His two pillows together don't equal one of mine in thickness.
Dear wind,
I'm over you. I'm over my allergies kicking my butt every day. And I'm over my hair being all in my face and mouth while I'm walking around campus.
Dear self,
You suck at working out over the last week-besides the 5 mile walk you took on Sunday. Do better.
-Lazy wind hater
Dear weather-
I don't think I am going to be able to handle the 97 degree weather today much less summer that is fast approaching.
Dear poppy seed vinaigrette -
I'm really glad I discovered you because you are quiet yummy. Now I just need to figure out how to make you.
Dear typing test-
Why are you even in existence nowadays? Not only do I have to take you tomorrow for the first time in my life, I'm a little worried. I taught myself to type so it's way different than the whatever 'normal' way is and DH makes fun of me even though I can type pretty fast in my own weird way.
Jaymi,
Do you have to take a typing test for your job? That's weird.
Dear Jaymi,
Have you tried doing a google search for free typing test so you can do a practice one just to see where you are at and hopefully elimiate the nerves?
There is a game on facebook , Typing Maniac, which makes this practice fun too.
Hmm..I must have missed this convo. What does it do for you? Does it clean you out or something?
This is on the agenda tonight!
Edit: DH gave me some hints last night. Of course I can't remember them, lol, so I'm going to re ask him.
There are some positions that I have applied for that require this. Hopefully I can do just one and keep it on file instead of having to so this every single time because that would be annoying.
Oh, what drink? I've only seen it in the pill form.
This is way overshare TMI territory:
Since I have been eating well 99% of the time my body has been reacting badly to any fried foods or anything less than healthy. Jaymi mentioned probiotics and I was buying yogurt and saw this Kefir probiotic drink stuff, so I bought it. I drank 8 oz of it on Thurs night - it tastes good, but a little sour - my body reacted immediately, almost like a flush or something and then during the weekend I didn't have any bad reactions and I even had a bit of Fletcher's corn dog and part of a giant creme puff.
It is supposed to help regulate digestion. It seems to be working for me drinking it two times a week.
I found it in the yogurt section at Albertson's. It's called Lifeway Kefir Probiotics - it's like a yogurt smoothie, but a little more sour tasting - not bad but not like super delicious either.

Interesting. Well I'm glad you can eat the foods you like again!
I don't know if that's anything like activia, but I tried that once and that had an adverse effect on me. I took that to mean that my system was already regulated and the damn activia deregulated my system!
