I feel like I'd only eat a ground cookie if I witnessed the fall myself, as well as the ground onto which they fell. If someone else dropped them, the ground they touched is a mystery, and thus far more risky.
GDI, they look better than I thought. And they are M&M cookies, which I did not know about. If I contract hanta virus, you'll all know it's because I gave in and ate a ground cookie.
PS- I'm gonna eat the shit out of that leftover box of chips, though, you can bank on that.
I might not be so sketched out if our parking lot wasn't regularly coated in a variety of disgusting debris too vile to list. We are next door to a giant high school, and right in the path between a bunch of shady apartments and the only downtown area Walgreen's, so shit gets pretty real around here on Friday and Saturday nights.
So far I know you don't like ground cookies. Even if they're cookies. So I have concerns.
Dammit, now I feel like I have to say something to balance out the pro/con list. Ummm... I already have the 2014-2015 basketball schedule printed and pinned to my office wall?
OOH! That's a big positive. It's coming up so soon. The first game is always around my birthday so it feels like a present from the basketball team to me.
Soon enough that we can almost pretend like football season doesn't even exist! I also add the schedule app to my work Outlook calendar, so I don't schedule any calls or meetings during games. #priorities
1st day back at daycare since November for O, and she ran in the room without even a glance back at me. I was all Anna-like... "....ok....bye"
Then I hung out in the baby room for an hour with A to get him used to it. Yet again, barely a glance my way. Soooo I guess the transition to dc will go ok.
Remember when I thought one of my favorite vendor contacts was mad at me?
Yeah, I still think she totally is, and I don't know how to address is. She keeps sending slightly snarky/sarcastic emails and it's making me sad
Could it be that she's letting her guard down and being snarky about stuff because she likes you?
The snark seems directed *at* me, not just to me about other stuff. I just feel bad...
Maybe she's getting me confused with someone else who works here whose name starts with the same first two letters... that lady is a real jerk sometimes. But somehow I really doubt it.
Gah, I hope I can send enough smileys to smooth this over, either way lol
The kind of things I designed was just called "stick-on" architecture by one of my bosses to my face. Fuck you, too, buddy. That's rich coming from the partner in charge of outlet malls, which is literally sticking styrofoam-coated pieces to concrete.
And now I feel like crap. My boss and other office mate were out sick Friday and I thought it passed me by and that I was just tired all weekend becAuse I'm always tired but I'm so achy now
I started weaning my 6 mo old off the boob last week and I can't get over how much happier we both are. I'm proud of how long we made it but still feel a little guilt. But mostly happy I can leave the house for more than an hour, drink, and sleep in!

I feel like crap that I can't seem to find any information about any of the activities DD normally does or I missed fall registration by like several months. I would have never guessed they registered for fall sports in Feb. OMG. I have found the girl scouts but the information online would tell me what time and days are the fucking meetings nor any contact info on the troop leader. I could pull my fucking hair out.
I've had similar issues up here. It really sucks. I hate badly designed websites. I shouldn't have an issue learning the hours the local pools are open, or where to register for K.
Can you contact the soccer group and explain you just moved? As for Girl Scouts, can you email the council and ask for contact info?
A lady came up to me at the grocery store and pointed and wagged her finger at me saying I needed to roll a towel behind DD's neck in the ergo. No. I said "no, she's fine, thank you." And abruptly walked away. DH got embarrassed and said he thought she was well intentioned. Well then put your damn finger away?

You said thank you. Why's he embarassed?
My tone was very abrupt, and I turned my back to her.
So, so rude. Some lady in the grocery store was goo gooing all over my LO last week and then asked me all rudely if she was warm enough. I smiled and said she was fine. Then this perfect stranger had the nerve to touch my baby's feet to see if they were cold. I quickly pushed the cart away and said she was fine. Don't touch my baby! I get that people have good intentions but they get so high and mighty about it.
Fall sports try-outs start tomorrow at M's school. I'm not ready for this shit to start already. Can't we get a week to get settled before I have to worry about practices and game schedules?
Anyways later I came across her in the card section and pointed her towards the get well section she was looking for. Karma redeemed. I did not say you're welcome when she thanked me though.

I do not understand why strangers think they can just do that. DS does NOT like having his hands grabbed/held, especially by strangers, so he always pulls away and looks at them like, "WTF, bro?"
DD's 1st grade teacher mailed a manila envelope home that read "Don't open until Tuesday night". DD opened it. and inside is a ziplock bag of glittery confetti and a "Jitter Glitter" poem:
The night before school is exciting and fun
With so many things that just have to be done.
Your clothes are all ready, your backpack is too.
Your classroom is waiting with fun things to do.
There are so many questions that go through your mind
All types of thoughts, some of every kind.
The day before school, we all get the jitters down deep,
making it really hard for us to fall fast asleep.
So here is some jitter glitter, it's really quiet cool.
It's something to help you be rested and ready for school.
Just sprinkle the glitter under your pillow in bed
Tuesday night before school starts, and lay down your head.
The glitter will help you sleep through the night,
letting you wake up feeling fresh and bright
I'll sprinkle the glitter under my pillow too,
and remember I can't wait for school so I can see you!
I have a lot of feels about this.
My first feel would be "I don't want glitter in his bed. It'll never leave."
Fuck glitter under the pillow. WTF?? And who feels like posting 25+ manila envelopes of glitter?? SAVE THE MONEY.
I met her the other day at a Popsicle social she hosted at the school (are we sensing a trend here?) and I told her that I hadn't received the supply list, would we be getting one soon? Her response: Oh no no! I got everything. We've got crayons, markers, folders, pencils, glue blah blah. I responded "what about scissors? erasers? nothing?? what about classroom supplies, kleenex? clorox wipes?"
Perky response - "NOPE! nothing! I got it all!"
She's either independently wealthy at 24 (I only know her age because she sent home a bio talking about her birthday, friends, siblings, yadda yadda yadda and how she's SOOOOO EXCITED for her very first class!) or very naive.
I'm afraid it's the latter, and that DD and her bigger than life personality will steam roll her this year. I'm bracing myself for a struggle.
I appreciate her eagerness. The rest remains to be seen. This year should be interesting.

Ugh, I do not want to be at work today.
I am having a hard time with DS getting older.
Then I hung out in the baby room for an hour with A to get him used to it. Yet again, barely a glance my way. Soooo I guess the transition to dc will go ok.
Now hes asleep in his crib and I should really get off my ass and shower since I have to work tonight...but im so comfy on the couch.

"If I go a month without using it ww can get rid of it"
My first feel would be "I don't want glitter in his bed. It'll never leave."
