Burrell, see them being in LA I do not see as a hard negative. I see where they might, but an online semi-fake boyfriend seems kinda perfect to me.
ION - I helped a friend pack up a bit of her house today. This is a lady from church that we always enjoy each other's company, but have never really done anything together. They are DC area transplants, but like a decade ago. She has 2 boys younger than mac, so doing things together never worked out. She did not have enough packing supplies for me to whole hog, but we got a lot of breakable stuff packed in 3 hours, so there is that. Maybe 8 medium sized boxes and we had to take a break to go buy more packing paper in there. I think overwhelmed her with talking - SHOCKER, but it's me, so that is to be expected. I think when they get settled in the new place she and I will set up monthly stuff together. YAY!
Now I have grocery shopped and gassed up the car. It is hot and disgusting out there. 95 with 50% humidity which is high for us. We need a rain dump to cut that down to 20% or so and then it wouldn't be so bad.
I am inside for the near future. Glad I did a load of laundry yesterday and had it out to dry overnight. I might get some cleaning done, but I might just watch shows.
Theodosia, first hit on "superglue toxicity mouth" says don't do it. [link]
oh crap, I temporarily forgot about Father's day. Off to the mall.
Yeeks! They suggest 'denture adhesive' which is worth a try I suppose. At least that's not supposed to be bad for skin contact.
Why did my brain just say "duck tape's not toxic, is it?"
Not helping, brain.
Jeeesus Christ, it's hot.
You're looking too, Epic?
Okay I should preface with I've never played matchmaker to anyone, so there's that. Also if I know him, he's probably either an academic or a dad or both. :-)
I am hanging a the library enjoying the air conditioning and free wifi while the kids are taking a practice test for the ISEE test. Just to practice test taking skills. I am such an evil mom, I know. My mom never woulda done me like that. Then again, dad is bribing them with a new computer drawing program (for the girl) and a new game (for the boy), which is another thing my mom woulda never done (unless you count taking us out for ice cream in exchange for washing the car).
shopping done. 2 very exciting non-cotton, elastic waist ALSO with drawstring, black shorts.
then 2 pairs of non-compression exercise pants for me, a dry fit shirt, a 5 lb kettleball, and these shoes [link] which are totally boring looking, but feel like walking on little clouds of comfort.
Wow, Anne, how was that? Extra exhausting or did it add to the fun?
I went and ran for the first time since last week's 10k (which was the first time in two months). My NONbroken foot is still hurting though. Grr. And then I got home and found a $234 speed camera ticket for going 26 in a 20. Holy CRAP that's a lot of money. I can afford it but I know a lot of folks who that would fuck up their life pretty hard for a while. I mean, what happened to like $50??
