Reading: I’m hooked on the Pretty Little Liars series…look into it. My advice: get two books at a time…or you’ll leave the book back at your parents house out of state and be in the hotel and can’t find the book, but you MUST find out what happens, so you have to just Go To Bed Without Reading (horror!), and then you get home and your local library branch doesn’t have the book in stock, so you have to order it from another library.
And yes, they’re Young Adult, but if it makes you feel better (like it did me), they were recommended to me by an Ivy League English major. In the meantime, I started Sizzling Fifteen, because I realized I’m behind on this series, which despite the mediocre ratings on Amazon is always a laugh-out-loud (multiple times) read.
Relieved by: the fact that our summer travel is over– the vacation was fun, but I’m happy to be home and getting into the summer routine.
Looking forward to: next summer, when BOTH of my sweetums can attend the town playground camps, and I’ll have five mornings a week of solitude to get shit done. Yup, that’s when I’ll finally finish their ($&@&*#!!@) baby books.
Stressing about: how to pay for the oral surgery Jojo needs because his cavity from a couple of months ago led to him needing a “baby root canal” which then didn’t heal properly, so now we have to have that tooth removed and a bridge put in and oh and there’s the small matter of (wait for it) SEVEN FUCKING SEVEN new cavities. In his mouth. His tiny chiclets mouth. Oh take OFF that look from your face before I … and did I just hear “tsk tsking?” Apparently, this is not uncommon AND a lot of people have “cavity-prone teeth” AND my mom, Mr. Squirrel, Mr. Squirrel’s mom, and my aunt all had many cavities despite brushing, etc. oh fine…go ahead and judge. I would be judging you. Then I’d be kicking myself square on my tailbone (which, is, by far way more painful than kicking my flabby buttcheeks). All of these excuses the dentist gave me when she saw me wide-eyed, falling into a deep shame spiral. Because HOLY JESUS SEVEN? I’m actually still too stunned to begin the horrific task of Looking Into Our Dental Benefits *shudder*.
Craving: a Chipolte steak burrito, no beans, with veggies. Heck yeah on the sour cream and guac.
Wanting: A newer house with air conditioning. I hate to say it, but life is miserable here without air. And I really think it’s contributing to my migraines. Have I mentioned that my migraine pills cost me $42 per pill? Yeah, we’ll be doing Jojo’s dental work in our basement workshop.
Proud of myself for: finishing up my niece’s apron in time to mail it in time for her birthday.
Wearing: This tshirt in black and these shorts in nickle — both bought on sale last year…I own the shorts in 3 colors. I finally found shorts that fit my frame (after decades of wearing much longer shorts).
Addicted to: $1 Large Unsweetened Iced Teas from McDonald’s. Bonus with purchase: the large McD’s cup is thee perfect pee/throw-up cup for your car. Keep it in one of the back cupholders to grab for emergencies. Sadly, I’m not kidding.
Avoiding: exercise… all forms. Today I blame the weather. Let’s see what tomorrow brings (we know it won’t be exercise).
Suffering from: Old Spare Tire-itis.
Struggling with: My weight. See a trend?
Excited for: My husband to return from a work trip to England….he’s still here, but he leaves in less than an hour. Wah!
Thinking about: How to entertain the boys and how to manage bedtime routine by myself for the next five nights.
Splurging on: Kerasal for my crustacular feet. If you have dry, cracked heels (like REALLY bad, I’m not talking one night of Vaseline + socks will do the trick), then buy some of this wonder salve.
