Time has seriously stopped moving

I am so beyond bored today at work - I have lots of projects, and I keep diving into them, only to get bored / annoyed / distracted and I come back to TB.

Tell me something interesting.

Here's my silly tidbit - I made that practice smash cake the other day, in the shape of a baseball, and I thought it turned out pretty well. I was at the grocery store yesterday for a few things and I picked up ingredients to make one for this weekend... I was really excited to do it again and hopefully have it turn out eve better than last time (was going to use fondant instead of the red icing for the baseball stripes, etc). The store where I ordered his party cake was only selling 7 inch cakes for like $20, and no way was I going to spend that, so I was pretty pleased with myself for making my own.

And then, on my way to check out, I stopped for a loaf of crusty bread, and in the bakery case, they had a 6 inch cake in the shape of a baseball for $4.99.

DONE. Sorry about your non homemade cake kid, but this one will photograph WAY better. ;-)

Wow, that's such a big coincidence that it was literally a baseball smash cake. Nice!

I am so stressed about work... so I am bumping of course. We were supposed to have a teacher workday on Monday but lost it because of snow. All my grades are due by Tuesday and I am sitting on a huge stack of essays AND midterms. And I got a mediocre evaluation by my least favorite administrator so now I got less than 1 day's notice that I have to get a shit ton of stuff together to dispute it in the morning. GOOD. TIMES.

So the moral is that I should probably NOT be on the bump right now. Ughhh!

I know, isn't that crazy? I put that thing in my cart so fast heads were spinning!

I think we're in the same situation. to-do-list overload, thus procrastination. I am not normally like this. I think I just have a serious case of the "I don't wannas." Plus, lately I only have 30 minute chunks of desk time between meetings, which isn't a lot of time to actually get anything done. My next one is at 1 PM and lasts until 2:45. Snore.

True story - After lunch today, I tried to put my car into drive before I put the key in the ignition. Palm, meet forehead.

And something exciting - Thanks to WW, my size 10 dress pants fit again. Yay! Still trying to figure out how to not be hungry all the time while keeping to my points allotment (I'm eating fruits and veggies like it's my job). That could be why my brain isn't seeming to function properly in the past couple days. Also, I really really want a cheeseburger, some fries, and a milkshake...but I don't even want to know how many points that would cost me.

Can't wait to have this kid and get back on WW . I lost 72 lbs on WW back in the day. It is pretty much not possible for me to eat without thinking about points, I've been "on ww" for so long... ingrained in my brain> CONGRATS on the pants!!!

I made it in and out of the DMV (where you go to renew your driver license; not sure if it's called the same thing in other states) in about twenty minutes. Making appointments rocks!
Of course, this was after I dropped my husband back off at work and drove all the way to another city to said DMV only to realize he'd taken the checkbook and all my paperwork with him into the office. At least Sonya got a good nap in the car.

I love that the had the cake- professional and cheap! Here's my random: this morning I worked out and took a shower while Mila was napping. She woke up while I was getting ready so i went in to get her before I got dressed (read: naked). Anyway, as I was bending over to pick her up out of the crib, Ava walked up behind me and stuck her finger in my butt!!!! I screamed and scared both kids, then started laughing. Every day is a new experience with kids.
