Random Musings on a Monday

[adorebel]

I liked Jurassic World and it was better than I expected, but we rewatched Jurassic Park last week before seeing the new one, and the classic is still the best. Spielberg is just a genius, and Laura Dern is my fave.

I loved Jurassic World the ending I think was the best part.

Sorry you had a sicky weekend. I hope you feel better.

T-rex is like THIS IS MY WORLD BITCHES! I loved it. I also got really sad about the longnecks.

Same here. I also like all the nods to the first movie. And again the ending because, you know, seriously! Also chris pratt is always a good thing.

I had to stop and look up his last name because when I went to type it I kept think ot was wrong because I kept picturing a kid I went to school with who had the same name.

We saw Jurassic World last weekend and rewatched the original last night. Both were just excellent. I like the animatronics in the first one, though.

We had a fun weekend away. We did wave runners, go carts, bumper boats, putt-putt, and the zip line. Because- adults! I was super emotional & bitchy yesterday, mostly because Father's Day is the hardest of the year, and because I am coming down with something. It wasn't a great end to the weekend, but it is what it is.

We are meeting with the foster parents tonight to get the run down with the twins and get to meet them as well. I need to not be sick for next weekend, I think that we will need to be on the top of our game.

[nepatsgal]

Yeah I enjoyed Jurassic World, I was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie.

SPOILER: Click to show

And the scene were the British Assistant gets carried off by a pterodactyl. OMG, I wasn't prepared for that. Usually gruesome deaths don't happen to the women.

Oh I had such a fun weekend and I'm so grumpy to be back at work now!
Also, somehow my alarm got changed to PM so it didn't go off this am, grrr. Woke up in time for work but not to workout, which is sort of ok bc my arms kill from lifting MH directed yesterday...and I have something going on with a toe that makes putting on a shoe kinda rough...but still now I feel extra sleepy and grumpy.
Need coffee...cutting back on caffeine starts tomorrow...

Did I miss a discussion on the absolute ridiculousness of the A Deadly Adoption movie?!?! I mean, really!?!?!

I WAS SO CONFUSED.

I kept waiting for it to be ironic or satirical, but Wiig and Ferrell played it like a straight Lifetime movie!

I didn't watch but I saw the previews (while I was watching UnReal - another new show I love) and the whole time I'm thinking "is this going to be a satire or something?"

So it was just a legit, serious movie?! I'm shocked.

MH and I got into a stupid argument this morning. All stemming from the fact that he was cranky and didn't want to go to work. I can't really hear super well, like I can hear when people are talking but if there are background noises or your back is too me I have a really hard time understanding. (Thank you 10 years working at a racetrack).

Anyway, MH had music playing on his iphone while we were in the bedroom. He went into his walk in closet to grab something and closed the door most of the way. He asked me something. I have no idea what because between the loud music, not being able to see him, and the door being mostly shut the only word I understood was 'lettuce'.

Long story short I was able to figure out he must have been asking me how the lettuce from our garden tasted when I made myself a salad last night. So I told him good. He came back in and says "THANK YOU, I don't know why that took you so long to answer a simple question. Sometimes it's like you're an idiot when it comes to things."

I KNEW he was cranky but it hurt my feels and ticked me off. So I was like "Yes well, I'm not the one who has his stupid music on full blast and expects someone to hear me when I talk to them from another room." So he got mad and turned his music off and was all pissy and pouty the rest of the morning.

He semi-apologized before he left. I call it a semi-apology because he didn't say he was sorry, he just said that he really wasn't feeling like work today and it was making him irritable. Gee, you think?

YES.  H was like, "This must have been an exercise in self-restraint for the two of them."

If it was satirical, the satire was so slight as to be almost undetectable, like mrsjene says. Maybe they dared each other to do it? It was weird.

I'm also enjoying Unreal! While simultaneously watching The Bachelorette, haha...

I legit LOLed when he was worried about the daughter and was all, "you know the dangers of Diabetic ketoacidosis".  As an aunt of a Type 1 diabetic, that would NEVER be said in real life!

Plus on that same token, I don't really like that it was never addressed that you cannot just give a kid a fucking candy bar if you are Type 1!

YES!

Her death seemed so disproportionate. She wasn't a terrible person, why did she have to die so hard?

I'm a nerd and read IMDB message boards and people are really worked up over that. Also I watched The Lost World for the first time last night and will watch JP3 tonight and then probably go see the movie again.

I'm about to go to McDonald's for breakfast in my pajamas and am not bothering to put on a bra. Thank goodness for drive thrus!

teraiin, I know we are often the least patient and kind to the people we love the most because we feel safest around them, and I don't know your lyfe, but in this case, I think he owes you a genuine apology. Calling your SO an idiot (not as a joke, and especially when it's a man saying that to a woman, with all the history of women being considered less intelligent by men) is not okay. My feelings would be legitimately hurt, too!

I really liked Lost World!

JP3 was not my cup of tea.

I was kinda scared by it I won't lie! It was on tv and ended at midnight and I had a hard time sleeping. I have read 3 is the worst though.

teraiin I would have lost my mind on him. I hope you get a real apology later.

Thanks starbuck27!

If he follows his normal habits I'll either receive a contrite phone call at lunch or a apology when I get home.

Usually we don't really have stupid arguments but every once in awhile I just want to be like "WTF were you thinking" I mean seriously, he KNOWS my hearing isn't the best. Usually he's really good about facing me when he's talking or turning music down.


To make Monday even better, I hopped on the scale this morning. I've been doing really well cutting out all desserts and snacking, I picked up my pace with working out and added Zumba back. I figured I'd have lost SOME weight. Nope. Gained like 4 pounds. WTAF body.

Thanks. I was definitely a little hurt.

I know people in general tend to complain more than praise, so I want to clarify that he doesn't typically act this way. But you made a very valid point! It wasn't a very nice comment particularly since he is well aware of my weakness with hearing.

[summerdonna]

I'm sorry teraiin that he talked to you like that. ((Hugs))

Well, I hope so. Everyone has their douchey moments, it's just bound to happen, but a real apology has to follow.

How are your clothes fitting? A lot of times if you are replacing fat with muscle your weight will go up. Don't worry about the number on your scale. It's hard, but seriously, don't even think about it. I threw mine out years ago and it was the best decision!

Isn't that the truth! There are definitely times when I've said things and later wondered what on earth got into me.

A little looser in the waist line, but otherwise nothing noticeable. Hopefully as you said I'm just replacing some fat with muscle. I'm going to try to up my water intake some more and see if that helps too. Maybe I should take a page out of your book and throw my scale out too!

[teraiin]

Sooooo... now that I killed the thread with whining....


I get to play with an AppleTV today at work. Anyone have any experience with it?

I was looking at Debbie Downer gifs and I found this:


I got very distracted at the fact that her hand/arm seems really out of proportion to me. It must be the angle of the photo. LOL

[requiressnacks]

((hugs)) teraiin. A better apology better be in the works!

And I totally feel your pain with the working out/eating better. It can be so frustrating!

I don't think that's really her arm.
