FFSC: Sometimes I get sad that GKU has a high turnover rate. I'm happy people are getting pregnant of course,(and I LOVE the grad Tues.) but I'm starting to get lazy about interacting with new people. I just skim or skip their posts and move on to the posts by the thirty(?) or so people I've known for much longer.
I disappeared because H and I got to work ripping out the floor of the guest room of our 100+ year old house. It's turning into a bigger job than we hoped BUT we found some fun little nuggets in the floor: A harmonica, several small broken bottles, weird wooden pegs and a newspaper scrap from 1892.
(Also found a dead mouse and a mysterious bone but...lets not go there)

As long as you don't see something like this I think you're o.k.
1) I totally thought about stuffing some note or time capsule thing under the new subfloor...didn't consider making it super creepy. 2) If we tore out the floor and found a monopoly board I think the only obvious solution would be to clean it up and go with it. That's pretty random and a lot of time must have went in to painting it.

The things my landlord put outside are acceptable to put outside (camp chairs and some gardening tools) so nothing that could get ruined, but he really seems to be over-eager about our move-out. The email was accompanied by a list of things that still need to be cleaned. I know! I never said I was done cleaning or moving things out! I will go in the morning and take care of everything and then I will be done. Glad to be a home-owner and not have to deal with landlords anymore.
This is why I started setting an alarm to take my thyroid medicine in the morning and then go back to sleep. It was actually my H's idea. I don't always eat right when I get up, but it is nice to know I can if I want to.
I think I might start doing this. I set it to take my temps anyways, so I might as well take my pill after.
This is exactly what I do. Temp then take meds. It works really well.

So I picked up my bridesmaid dress. It's much different than I remember. And it's soooooo tight. Like hard to breath right. And I actually weigh less now than when I ordered it. Ugh. Not happy. And I don't think boots are going to look good at all with this dress so I have to revisit my shopping for cowboy boots. Good thing I didn't order those ones I mentioned the other day yet.

Ugh, that stinks. Did you order it a few sizes up? If so, maybe hey made a mistake? Bridesmaids dresses are notorious for running small. FX that can take it out a little for you!

No and I fully blame the girl at the store. They didn't have the exact dress in stock so she had me try on one similar. And the one I tried on was actually a little bit loose but very workable and comfortable. This one is ungodly tight. And it's one size up from my usual dress size.
It also makes me look like I'm a little kid I think. The color isn't quite what I was imagining.
I just watched the first episode of Broadchurch (I can't remember who suggested it the other day). It is ok. I'm having a hard time understanding what is said with the thick British Accents. I also keep waiting for the blonde Ellie to show up. Will I be able to watch this without thinking of Gracepoint? Did anyone else watch Gracepoint first?
Let me know how it goes for you. I've watched Gracepoint and can't decide if I want to watch Broadchurch. I've heard it's better and the end is different but I don't know if that's enough to draw me in. However it's a reason to watch more David Tennant...

mustloveerica Ugh. That sucks. The person in the store definitely shouldn't have gone off of another dress despite them looking similar. Bridesmaids dresses are the worst! I don't for a second comprehend the sizing. I hope you can at least find really, really cute boots!

I can't really picture boots with this dress. I don't know why I was imagining it so differently in my head. I guess that's what happens when a dress takes 5 months to come after you order it haha. I'll just have to take it with me when I go boot shopping lol. Wish me luck!

Well, if it's THEIR fault (which it is) I would take it to the manager and explain the situation. They're probably told not to do this because sizing is atrocious for bridesmaid dresses, so MAYBE they'll do something for you. You can't wear a dress all day that's too tight, you will be miserable.
