I'm sitting here with coconut oil on my hair because my hair stylist told me it would help fix my dry, breakable hair and it feels gross! She told me to leave it on as long as possible. That may turn out to not be very long.

Currently wasting time in a safety pause. Then a pre meeting for a meeting later. Then home to continue to get the house ready for our new roommates. My whole week is like this. Thank god for coffee and wine.
Good morning! I'm excited, and ready for Monday. It all started with a call to AAA to fix my flat tire— turns out I picked up a nail. $35 for a patch, or $200+ to replace two tires? I'll take the patch. Now I'm just about to head in the direction of work, with a stop to pick up a brand spankin' new calendar book. Mmm, nothing like the smell of fresh paper.
The smell of fresh paper is almost as good as the smell of old books.

And they are now talking about wexting which is apparently the new work for walking and texting. And the tag line was "don't let lol turn into omg". And apparently in London they are padding their telephone poles because people are wexting into them and getting concussions. I'm about to give myself one to get out of this.
I'm currently waitin for MH to get out of the bathroom so I can quickly get ready for work. WTF. I leave the same time everyday, use the other bathroom to do your business.

DH decided he wanted to start going to work later so he can work out in the morning. I told him there will be hell to pay if he messed with my morning routine.
I went to POAS this morning and after I peed in my cup I realized my box of HPT's was completely empty! My dumb ass put an empty box back on the shelf! Wtf self?!

I am really hoping that one of the car dealerships we visited this weekend calls me today so I can tell them there is no way in hell we will buy a car from them. I'm always so nice but these people pissed me off and I really want to tell them that. The guy we talked to on Friday wanted nothing to do with us yesterday and passed us to someone else, they came back with a ridiculous payment on the car MH was interested in and didn't want to even try to negotiate, then the original sales guy laughed when the new salesperson said the price was too high for us. No wonder the showroom was empty both times we were there. The new salesperson said that they manager doesn't deal at the beginning of the month, only at the end. WTF?
Good morning! We leave for vacation today. We are both exhausted from the holiday weekend, so we haven't left yet. Still have a little packing to do and need to drop the dogs off at my in-laws house. Excited to get away for a few days though!
I am sooooooooo tired. I don't know how I'm going to make through the work day. (Answer: probably lots of coffee) We went to a music festival last night which was a lot of fun but didn't get home until after midnight.
I vote that the 4th of July holiday should always be a 4 day weekend. Yes?

Not dealing at the beginning of the month is pretty standard practice for dealerships (from my experience). When we bought our last car DH said it was because the dealership wanted to see if someone else would come in and pay their asking price before they started negotiating. By the end of the month they know they have to move those cars because if a car is still there at the end of the month it's been sitting too long and taking up prime real estate. That's never made sense to me but whatever? LOL

The car we were interested in was a 2015 demo with 4000 miles. The 2016 model is already out and while it looks the same on the outside, the inside is different and has more technology. They were offering us $5000 off sticker. But they put a BS "regional markup" of $2500 on all their cars so really all they were offering was $2500 off MSRP for a car that is basically a year old and has 4000 miles on it. Thanks but no thanks.
So tired. Slept instead of working out, slept on train in, drank large iced coffee, can only think of more sleep. And I had a pretty mellow weekend and went to bed at 9:30 last night (after only a beer and a glass...ok two...of wine). Sigh.

My husband is legitimately scared of sharks. He thinks if he goes in the ocean they are going to attack. I suppose it's possible, but is it a reason to not swim in the ocean?

That is the exact reason I refuse to swim in the ocean. I also live in an area that has the highest rate of shark attacks pretty much anywhere so I think my concern is pretty valid.

MH does this too whenever he has the day off of work. I work out from 6:30-7:15ish and I try to leave by 8:15. So I don't really have a lot of wiggle room. I swear I'll be working out and hear the TUB filling at 7:05. WTF. Then he acts all confused as to why I seem frustrated or upset.
The first few times I totally understood since typically he's gone by 6 so he didn't know my schedule. But after awhile... come on... you aren't GOING ANYWHERE today... I need to be to work soon!
Luckily he's gotten much better lately.
Today he's still whiny about using up all of his time.

I don't know if you have ever listened to the "This American Life" podcast, but they did an episode at a car dealership on the last few days of the month and the deals they were giving away were amazing. They have monthly quotas to meet, so at that point to meet the quota they were practically giving cars away. It was really interesting. And I think from now on that is when I will try to buy one!

Have you been watching the news this summer? They tried shutting down a beach for the holiday weekend because of shark attacks.

I love "This American Life". They always have such interesting podcasts!
