Weird birthday.

Last night I met a friend for her birthday. We went to Ale house and met up with her regular bar friends. Regular bar people freak me out. So much hugging and saying I love you. Then there’s the people that ask you why you don’t talk-( I’m a bit of a introvert and struggle to make small talk with complete strangers who are on their 4th drink), and tell you that you think that you are better than them. Then there’s the people who tell you that in 10 years you’ll be divorced because you will be bored and will want to be the center of attention and an extrovert. ( I may have told this person to fuck off.) So much weird hugging and touching and throwing around I love you’s. I couldn’t wait to get home to my “boring” life and watch The Walking Dead with my handsome husband and kiss my two sleeping kids good night. I may never go out again.

My tumblr buddy sent me a cute mothers day card- because she’s the best! :)

I submitted this video this morning with my application for Mom of the Year. Excuse my voice and all the laughing. I don’t know why I think this is so funny.

Happy Friday!!

So- I paid $9.99 for Skinny Girl on the go bars. I was excited about them. Dark Chocolate, Pretzels, Nuts- I was sold. They arrived, I opened one. They look nothing like the photo. Nothing. They we’re chewy- and messy. They must have melted at one point during transit- its the only thing that I can think I that would make them gross looking and messy. I was underwhelmed especially for the price. Especially since you can buy a box of fiber one bars for a fraction of the cost.

emphasisadded: on the someday list I promised Brian we could buy one if we find a home that has a perfect spot for it- and when Juliet stops drawing on things. It’s beautiful!

Bummed!

We didn’t get the house. Shucks!

Also- the company in Boston does want B to come work for them. He went With old school suit and slayed people. Another meeting today to see what the offer will be.

Kinda want to throw up.

Gpoyw: love her.

So the “mean girl” from the other day…
Busted her ass last night at the gala.

I helped her up and didn’t laugh.

But I may have said to myself “karma is a bitch”.

Friends

This post has little to do with me, and is more about what I saw today.

Ladies- keep friends that lift you up, support you and ultimately want the best for you.

Let the friends that year you down, talk about you and who are just no good- go.

I have never been a mean girl- I am a loyal friend, I will support you but I will call you out on your bullshit. I would never purposely embarrass you, or make you feel bad.

My heart hurts for a friend that I volunteer with and it’s taking every ounce of my being to not go straight to the mean girl and tell her how I feel.

We have to be nice to one another. Being a catty bitch- will never end well.
