    A friend of mine has joined a new at-home party sales business - very similar to Southern Living/Willow House.  Great, dandy, right?  Well, she asked me to host a party for her to help get her started.  I feel guilty saying no because I know it would help her, but I am just not feeling it.  I'll probably say yes, but grrr...

    why not say no? when I did parties I wouldn't have been offended if someone didn't want to host one, you probably wouldn't have either. You shouldn't have to spend money on something you don't want to do.

    Because I am a sucker for helping a friend.  Blech.

    Ummm Harmony, I'm a frumpy mom who needs well everything.  Can you deposit some money in my account.  PleaseSmile

    Um, me too

    did BoH open again? i could use some dough.

    Nope, not that I know of. I know what you're talking about.

  • i hate periods.  they are (*^$#)(*^%(_@*$^_%(*@#&_$()*@#_(%^* ridiculous.  i had the most freaking embarassing episode today where my ridiculous period leaked on to the ridiculously nice couch of an industry associate.  i freaked OUT.  i apologized, asked the receptionist if they had any carpet or upholstery cleaner, water, paper towels, anything... luckily i was able to feverishly dab it away with a paper towel and water.

     then i ran to target and bought new pants.  ugggggggh.  UGGGGGH.

     

    i am seriously considering the endometrial ablation thing they do for old ladies.

    Oh Honey - I am so sorry!  That is mortifying.   

     

  • luckily it was all girls.  it's just embarassing that after 20+ years i can't control it!!!  i feel like this is some punishment form nature since i never tried to have kids...lol.

    Thank goodness!  

    I think Mother Nature is an equal opportunity punisher.  I've had to leave work before to come change.

    OMG I'm so sorry! I can't imagine.

    That's always my worst fear when I get my period. Luckily the only time (in recent memory) that happened to me it was at home on my own couch. DH was pretty horrified, but whatever.

    And Mother Nature still punishes you if you have kids. You can leak on the couch AND sniss. Big Smile

    OMG I'd die of mortification right there on the spot, then they'd have a dead body to clean up too!  But I agree w/ Kimmer, mother nature's a pretty equal opportunity b!tch.  But just FYI, my MIL had that procedure done and said it was a piece of cake and she loves it, in case you're actually considering it.

    we're watching the voice on DVR and i'm on FB at the same time. i liked 'the voice' on FB and they updated with the winner, so it showed up on my news feed. it was like a slow motion wreck. i was reading faster than i was comprehending and i knew that i needed to stop reading, but i had already read it by the time i realized what i was reading and that i needed to stop. and then it was too late. thankfully the only words i could get out were 'nononononono' so i didn't ruin it for DH.

    gah.

    ETA: andddd 'the voice' deleted it from their wall. probably about .0005412 seconds after i read it. blah.

    I think I know the winner based on this post alone.  Sometime the general public should not pick winners of things like this.

    i will ask my lady doc about it!  she's a sweetie, so i'm sure she'd be on the level with me about it.

     i was absolutely mortified and wanted to crawl in a HOLE.  or run out the door.  unfortunately, my assistant was in with the expert having the service done, and i was outside waiting for mine.  i had been chatting it up with the receptionist, so by the time i needed to tell her this had happened, at least we were friendly.  i just KNOW as soon as i walked out the door she shared the info with her boss. 

    i just kind of decided "okay.  we're all women.  we all respect one another.  any of us would absolutely want to die if this happened" and went on that assumption.  

     

    in other news, that couch was gorgeous.  i wanted to lay down on it.

    I was ok with the winner. I was nonononono'ing because I didn't want to read anymore, but I couldn't stop myself. It was so weird.

  • So I am researching this one family for our current volume who I think may win the award for most inbred family I've ever encountered.  And I have done a lot of genealogy.  Seriously. 

    The man, William, I am writing about married his first cousin, Comfort, in 1853, that's not too uncommon.  Their fathers were brothers, and their father's parents were also each other's cousins--so they are first AND second cousins on their fathers' side.  AND their mothers were cousins, and second cousins; so they were second cousins AND third cousins on their mother's side as well.  Indifferent

    When you look down the column for William and Comfort's Great great grandparents there should be 32 individuals, this couple only has 15.  LOL  It's a wonder they had enough genetic material to make babies!
