Queen of Rambles

Mike needed the car this morning, which meant no BodyPump for me. Erik was antsy by 8:30, which meant no shower for me. Instead, I figured I would head to the gym as soon as Mike got home, and shower afterwards.

So off Erik and I went to the park, completely unshowered and gross. Luckily there was a little girl a little younger than Erik and she was revved up to play. We were outside for about 3 hours, before making it home.

Did I ever mention that I HATE being unshowered?

We walked in the door about five minutes before Mike got home. It was 11:30 and the poor man was starving, so off we went, WITH ME BEING STINKY AND UNSHOWERED to the Indian buffet as a sort of pre-celebration. We’re excepting a specific offer letter within two weeks. I wish I knew more, but I guess I have to be patient. Good things: It isn’t as much travel as Mike feared, it is not business business dress as Mike assumed, and the hours are much more flexible than we both thought. If it works out, we will probably be purchasing a commuter car and he will suddenly have a fifteen minute commute. How cool would that be?

Anyway, I did the unthinkable and left the house feeling greasy and gross. Some people need coffee to wake up, but I really need a hot shower, so I was grouchy and miserable and the misery just kept piling up because we had to go to Wal-Mart. I am obsessed with the idea of making Erik a Swiper the Fox costume and I knew I wouldn’t get any rest until I had the key components in hand: a brownish sweat suit. Mission accomplished. We now have the brown sweat suit, a brown billed baseball hat and blue gloves. That gives us plenty of time to put together the rest of the costume. Whew!

I finally, finally, finally got to take a shower when I got home and immediately felt 100% better, but guess what? All my plans of going to the gym went skittering down the drain. I’m bloated and yucky and offended that the show How to Look Good Naked is about skinny women thinking they are fat, and yet here I sit on my ass, skipping my cardio workout.

I’m a great big ball of fun today!

I’m currently enjoying a brief, very clean and tidy reprieve from my boys. Mike and Erik went grocery shopping, so here I am with 45 minutes to myself. It’s so luxurious! I’m going to go roll around the bed naked. Except not really because I’m too computer addicted.

I was chatting with a local friend yesterday and found out she can decorate cakes! How cool is that? I got a Blues Clues cake pan off freecycle a few weeks ago just because it was free. Now my friend says she will come over and decorate the cake for Erik’s birthday! Score! I just have to provide the wine (which will be consumed after the cake is decorated. We don’t need a drunk Blue).

Ok, back to reading before the boys get back and the crazy starts again.
