Reese is napping. After DH gets home we are heading down to the beach overnight--he has to work tomorrow but I am meeting our friends there and their kids.
Right now I am internet window shopping I am looking for bookcases for Reese's room. Even though right now, we don't have money for them--I am still looking at them.
I'm listening to musical soundtracks all day. Right now it's Avenue Q. I'll warn everyone in advance that I'll be drunk and singing to myself later tonight.
There’s a lightningin your eyes I can't deny Then there’s me inside a sinkingboat running out of time Without you I'll never make it out alive But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

Looks like there won't be any drinking for me tonight. Someone made a huge mistake and I'm going to be up all night fixing it. She's done this twice in two months.
Eta: Looks like the mistake wasn't that bad. I can fix it pretty easily. I'm still annoyed with her.
If I pretend not to know who Benny is can we recreate the drinking thread from the other night? I can pretend not to know who anyone is so you can pip whoever you want. Bonus points for gifs.
My dog just got out of surgery. She had to have some teeth removed, and a tumor removed from her jaw bone. $1k later, and I get to take her home. It looks like it's ramen noodles for us for a few weeks.
Ick. I'm so crampy. I got Paragard installed today. No more pill, yay! Icky post IUD cramps, boo. I'm thinking I'll milk this so I don't have to do anything the rest of the day.
Also, SO thinks the doc said no sex for 2 weeks. That should make life less stressful for a bit.

The insertion cramps sucked! I took ibuprofen every 4 hours and the heating pad was my BFF.
Yeah, I still got the ibuprofen coursing through me. So thats nice. Now if SO would just realize I hurt and stop pressuring me, that would be great. I just want to nap right now.
@guiltypleasures typically just Teavana, there's a location walking distance from my house. I also get some loose leaf from Earth Fare. I love white tea! Do you have a favourite?
My favorite Teavana tea is snow geisha. I love siliver needle too. I don't get much from Teavana anymore. Formulas on some of my favorites changed and they started adding artificial flavors to some of the teas.

Yeah, I've been meh on them lately. I've been on a green rooibos kick for a couple of weeks now. Still trying to make a good tea cocktail, failing miserably so far.
Day time cold drinks
Zingiber (I think that's how you spell it) ginger coconut and rum is good.
Apple lemon pomegranate and vodka. That's also good as a frozen drink. Try adding lemonade to it too. It's also great with blueberry bliss.
limeade twist and rum frozen
Peach Tranquility and pineapple kona pop with either rum or vokda again frozen
We met one of my gf's and her 2 yo son as well as her gf and her 2yo at the playground this afternoon.
Granted my DS is 6mo ths younger than the other 2 boys, so they were practically running circles around him, but I felt so bad for my kiddo bc I think he was intimidated by the other 2 running/jumping/ and climbing way faster than he could. He was incredibly shy and clung to me pretty much the whole time. He seemed to just want to sit in the grass and play alone/snuggle in my lap. Plus I'm sure the age/skill difference was a factor.
I'm sure I'm probably just projecting here, but it broke my heart a little and I felt that "left out" feeling for my kid. It brought me back to my childhood...I was so shy when I was young, and groups of kids intimidated the hell out of me, so I'd play alone until they invited me to play with them. I'm sure my 18mo wasn't thinking this hard about the situation though. I think it affected me more than him.

I feel this for lElla some times. She wants to play with older kids and they think she's just a baby. She'll follow them saying "wait" and it makes me cry sometimes.
Yeah. Its a sucky feeling! I just wanted him to have fun playing with the other 2 boys (one of which we've had playdates with several times), but its crazy how much of a difference there is between 18mo and 2. They were running circles around my DS, even if he tried, there was no way he'd be able to keep up with them! i know it bothered me way more than it bothered him, but still.

I'm making myself a nice cup of lady grey to get the thought of chai out of my head.

Vodka also works well with lady or earl grey
I really like vodka.
