In absentia

Starting to plan our company holiday party, and this will be the third one I have planned but will not be attending. (two due to maternity leave, one due to a friend's wedding in Cabo - all three events which were much more fun, I assure you) Is it bad that I don't really care how great it is, since I won't be there to enjoy it? (NOTE: of course it will be great, but you know what I mean.) Going with a roaring 20s/Great Gatsby theme (since it will be January 2020) and hired a jazz/swing band. Which the millennials at my office will probably despise. But maybe I will be introducing them to something new...

Poor Pilot Peter

I think Hannah shot herself in the foot on this one. Tyler just seems sleepy and Jed is out to sell dog food jingles. Neither one seems like a long-term match. Then again, what the hell do I know.

Barfolomew

Survived Georgie's first "bug" - fever of 102 and a few major vomits that I really won't ever be able to unsee. Needless to say, it was a very long and basically homebound weekend. But we came out the other side, only slightly scathed (my mom's car may smell like puke for a while).

The 90s were only 10 years ago, amiright?

How is it that I have my 20-year college reunion this fall (which I sadly have to miss because of the baby), and my 25-year high school reunion next year?? NO way am I old enough for all of that. Sniff.

Sorry, Mr Mueller

What a shitshow that was. Feel so bad for the man. Who is a REPUBLICAN. Wouldn't know it with all the Republicans screaming at him...sheesh. Hopefully he can retire on some island somewhere. (Where he can write the tell-all of what REALLY happened after Trump leaves office!)

Bless his heart. The man is a true American hero.

Well that's embarrassing

I kind of geeked out over the 50th anniversary of the moon landing this weekend - watched some of the footage, talked to my mom about where she was when it happened (although she said "skipping school to watch" and it took place in late July, so #1960s), etc.

I was embarrassed to admit that I have always thought the American flag that they planted stuck straight out because of the atmosphere/gravity situation/insert science jargon here on the moon. And my mom had to inform me that they put a freaking wire frame in it. Well la di da. One giant step for man.

Slow down there

Yesterday I somehow went from being "mama" to "mommy." I never thought I would want to be called "mommy" - maybe just go from "mama" to "mom" - but man it's cute. (And when she says "sit down, mommy" I do what she says, even if it makes me late for work.)

And why is she so old that she's saying it now?? GAH pretty soon I'll just be "mom." #thehorror
