SA Wednesday
I just had to start today because I witnessed the most bizarre thing while driving home yesterday.
I was driving behind this car for a few block, we came to a stop light with a few cars in front of us. The person looked like they were leaning over toward the passenger side maybe messing in a purse or with a kid. The light turns green and the car doesnt move. I waited a little while then honked thinking they were distracted and they didnt appear to move.
I was about to get out of the car but the lady to the left of the car did and shook the person through their open window, they appeared to wake up and moved forward (the light was red again). I am not sure if they fell asleep or had some sort of medical issue. Luckily I cop was in the next lane and got out and went up to the driver who looked like they fell asleep or went unconcious again because the cop shook the driver and then removed the keys from the ignition.
The light turned green and I left at that point but it was very odd and also scary at the same time, I hope the driver is okay and also glad it happened at a stop light.
Sorry for the novel I have just never seen anything like that.
Re: SA Wednesday
That is just bizarre! Luckily the cop took care of it. They were sleeping but still able to keep to pressure on the brake? There has to be more to the story.

Yeah Deepthi, thats why I said or medical issue because they remained on the brake and also appeared to not be fully with it again just a min after the first lady shook her. It could have been far worse and I have no idea what was really wrong but I am glad the cop turned the car off and took the keys. I think it was perfect timing that the cop was there because the person seemed like they were just going to try to drive off at the next light.
Once DH passed out at a stoplight while he was driving us somewhere, he was fine and talking and then he was gone. The exact same thing happened, he was able to keep pressure on the brake, he was just completely unconcious. I put the truck in park and got out to try to revive him. It was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me.
I am really tired today. We did too much this weekend and I am still paying for it.
I am also tired of hearing about Casey Anthony. I know a little girl died but things like this happen every day just without the media circus. I am mostly tired of the infighting going on on FB. Yesterday people were posting their outrage and today others are posting that maybe people should stop with the statuses and do something, which is fine but these are the same people who just spent the last six weeks posting about the damn case. I hate holier than thous.
This. Last night Matt was like what is so special about this case I am sure there are sadly many of these type of cases a year and they dont get all this attention.
I'm sooo Tired today! This whole waking up at 4:30 business to make it to work on time is already getting to me. I hope the repair guy is able to get the internet fixed tonight so I can finally post pictures.

I think I just fell in love. I cannot agree more. I kept telling H this yesterday. I don't get why people are so shocked. Yes it's sad. But people act like they don't realize this happens EVERY day but it's just not televised to death.
Or maybe I'm a cold hearted biitch for not being sick to death over it or leavin my porch light on. Sorry. My Dexter pic is all I got. And I just find it funny.
I am in a mood today. I am still at least two days from being able to pee on a stick, but I am sure this one is just not our cycle - I don't know why, I just feel like it's not. As much as I am trying to stay positive I am finding that I am already starting to get bitter about the whole thing which really bothers me. I finally realized what was worse than people asking you constantly when you are going to have kids. People asking you constantly when you are going to have kids when you are actively trying and not having anything happen.
I would love to eat these words in a couple of days and will gladly do so if I am wrong.

I don't mind hearing some updates but the constant trial-in-your-face is becoming annoying.
I got to see my new niece this weekend and it gives me a tiny- very tiny-extremely tiny amount of baby fever.
Today was GM breakfast #2. Yesterday was chocolate almond milk with a banana and peanut butter...very yummy (thanks for sharing, Stephie) and today is vanilla with strawberries and it's not that great but drinkable.
The lil ones will do that to ya! Wait till they get to be about my nephews age. That baby fever won't hit ya at all. Trust me.
Leslie,
Sorry you're not feelin it this month.
Didn't it help that I said I think I fell in love with you? Because, that's, like, a big deal.
I agree about the trial. I'm just ready for it to be over in the media, since the trial itself is over.
I have been having strange wedding dreams. I used to have them before the wedding, but you'd think that being married for 8 months would get them outta my system... nope. Last night, I had curled my own hair and it looked pretty sad, and then I had these South African Army looking guys (like renegade-looking dudes with ammo belts and camo clothes and South African accents) who were supposed to do my makeup but they were busy watching a movie on an iPad. And, my flowers were hideous - they were wild flowers, and the stems were at least 4 feet long, and it was a really loose gathering of flowers, not really a bouquet. I told my mom as soon as I saw them that I hated them, so that maybe she could do something about them, and she said "I'm sure they'll be fine" but I was sad because I thought that having such long stems would make me look short. That was just last night's dream... I've had 3 in the last week or so! Wtf is up with that?!?

Hee Shortgirl glad you liked the GM! Ben has tried them this week and likes them too. Try it with pineapple or banana and strawberry next time.
I am still sad about the Anthony trial. I think the people that are the most upset are the people like me who got caught up in it and actually watched the trial every day. I was just so shocked that it turned out how it did and now I just want to know why. But I'll get over it.
I am having such a lazy vacation. Part of me is enjoying it and part of me feels like a lazy slob.

Just do it!
Obviously it made me feel better. I am not even in a blah mood anymore, it's ALL puppies and rainbows from here on out today!! WOOOO!
I did add a banana when I originally tried them but I only have 1 left at home. Kudos getting Ben to try them- all DH does is grumble "Is that that GM stuff?" He acts like he will catch a disease if he touches it, LOL.

I sent the pic to H and he laughed too! We love that show.
The thing I have a problem with in regards to the Casey Anthony trial is that there is still no justice for the little girl. I completely agree that the prosecution did not do their job and I think they grossly overcharged the case. I think that had they not been so overzealous and eager to get on with the case, they could have had a better shot at a conviction. Do I think that Casey Anthony had a part in her child's death? Absolutely. She may not have done the actual act, but I believe that her negligance led to Caylee's death.
However, I would feel this way about ANY murder case where there is no justice for the victim. This one just had more media fire behind it.

Thank you!

Happy Birthday Brianna!! Are you doing anything special today?
I think the case gave people the chance to see justice for one little girl. True there are so many and majority are unheard, but this one was heard and if her mother could have gotten the justice which was deserved to her then maybe it would make up just a little for all the ones who don't have the media attention. I only watched it a little, but one of my friends followed it religiously and I could see how just felt so invested in this one case.

Well I had to get caught up since I've been gone a few days, you know, reading the recap of Teen Mom and all. Important stuff. Usually when I take a day off, I'm met with a rude letter from a coworker about things that I have done wrong in her eyes when she doesn't even know my job. Thankfully I did not have one in my email but the day is young and there is still time for her to call me back to her office to "reprimand" me
They don't make it very fun to take time off around here. It's draining.
I had Chicken Curry for the first time ever last Friday. It's pretty good and from the look of it, pretty easy to make.
I have also been waking up at 6:03 am the last couple of mornings, regardless of what time I go to bed.
I just wanted to say that's how I felt about the month that we conceived; I totally thought we missed our window, and what do you know?
I know how stressful it is, but hang in there and hopefully you will you will get that BFP soon.

About the verdict/case.. all I have to say is that yes, unfortunately, this sort of thing does happen all the time, but it's not forced down our throat all the time either. You can't help but avoid this particular case. While on vacation, on our down time while we watched TV, it was on almost all the channels. Yesterday at the aiport, it was all over the TVs there, I walked into work today, it was on the TV in the lobby, and all over the internet. When it's so in your face like that, you kind of don't have a choice but to tune in and subsequently have an opinion about it.

You should definitely do this, but add your hubby!
Why not ya know! I love this session too and I think it would be fun. Just my .02!
I'm here just getting a slow start. Internet was spotty this morning. Not all webpages were working and then my computer crashed twice. But I think I'm all good now.
Leslie, fingers crossed that this is the month. I'm with Kathy. I didn't think it was our month either because I thought our timing was off but look what happened! Sending baby vibes your way!
Casey Anthony-I don't think I could say it any better than Brianna did. I think Casey had a hand in her daughter's death but the prosecution didn't have a cause of death or any physical evidence linking Casey to the crime. It was a very hard case to prove. I think if they had a cause of death this case would have ended differently. It makes me sick to think that she will make money off her daughter's death. I couldn't imagine. I hope karma catches up with her!
I'm on this side of it. I'm still a little sad. (FWIW, none of my friends posted anything on FB about it so I haven't been over-saturated with it, otherwise I'd probably be wishing people would move on already.) For me, it just brings back up when I served on a jury for the first time a year ago, and it was kind of a shocking, eye-opening experience to me. About the other people that were on the jury with me (several openly admitted they were voting based on their biases, not the facts, and several just wanted to vote with the majority so we could go home) and about legal "loopholes."
After all was said and done, the judge came and told us there was actually a videotape of the crime that we weren't allowed to see based on a technicality. I just can't believe we sat through an entire trial hearing people talking about what may/may not have happened when we could've just seen it happen on tape.
