I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I slept in, made mac cry on his birthday by criticizing him and not making a big enough deal for his birthday, I guess.

so, basically homemaker and mother of the year here.

not really the motivation I was looking for to make this a productive day.

Our wings are not tired.

Spent part of the morning chasing Mr. S around the hotel.

Ah, the ever popular toddler training program. Get your exercise keeping up for sure.

Sigh. I hate random bad days. Like, when I can at least point to something bumming me out that's one thing (even if I know intellectually I'm having an outsized reaction to it or whatever) but today I'm just feeling super bummed for no apparent reason. And my friends are busy and I feel like I shouldn't lean on them so much because they aren't extroverts like I am :(

I'm sorry, meara. Maybe you can find some activity this afternoon that will break the mood. Getting outside and walking some, like a walk to go buy yourself flowers might help.

My son posted a picture on my FB wall today that shows a profile of his impressive beard. As you can see, he is not so much conforming, but he is working and bought himself a car so that is something. Even did the DMV title stuff by himself. So go adulthood! [link]

My swimming is being foiled this weekend. Just getting ready to leave & get a text that the pool is closing for the day. And it's really too late to drive to Towson. Ah well, I'll go for a walk.

Bah, sarameg. I hate when you're ready to do something good for you and it's foiled.

Me, I test drove a couple of cars today: the Kia Niro and the Prius wagon. I'm still leaning toward the Kia: I really liked the way it handled, and it's still fairly small, but it is taller than my Subaru and gets more than twice the mileage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, msbelle. You are great!

As you may remember, it is also my mother's birthday, and I made a really excellent roast chicken for dinner. She brought the bubbly. Sweet!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Supposably, the anesthetist for my MRI tomorrow is going to call me the night before the procedure. When I hadn't heard from them on Friday afternoon, I called, and they said, oh, he'll call you Sunday night.

Sooooo. 6:49PM my time. Want to lay odds on an actual call?

Are you specifically looking at Hybrids? The Mazda CX-3 and CX-5 and wonderful crossovers, but they do not make a hybrid.
