My back is absolutely killing me today. I had to walk my friends German shepherd twice yesterday and once this morning. She's out of town and her husband had to work a double shift (he's a cop in a nearby town). Their dog is sweet but he's a jumper. He also yanks on the leash really hard, hence the back pain I think.
Last night I helped my nieces dye their hair with Koolaid pink and blue. It made me want to do something like that too. But my hair is too dark for fun like that.
Quoted myself trying to fix my missing word. Geesh!

I just read an article about a Target store in Chicago that is going to start serving wine to shoppers. I want this!!! (I also think it's brilliant move by Target to get people liquored up while shopping )

TheEleventhHour, I read all her books as well. Very dark, but really good. I'm reading the second Outlander now, and thought everyone says it's a great series, I just can't get into them.
requiressnacks, I think they'll end up having a long return merchandise line the next day!
I just fed the dog and got back into bed. I don't have much planned today. I need to find an adventure!
You rock!! At the end of the school year I told myself I'd get back into rugby-shape this summer. Then I decided I just wanted to do nothing all summer. So now I have decided that I will start when I go back to work on Tuesday lol
If I don't have something to train for I will just do nothing. So I try to maintain mileage. Rugby?! That is a crazy sport.
I miss it so much. I was in the best shape of my life. So much fun. I still play pick-up sometimes in town.

easilyunamused I am also reading the second Outlander! I like it but her books haven't been ones I can read straight through. The first one took me three months to read because I kept putting it down and reading other things. I found a few lists of recommended books for people who like Gillian Flynn. The Silent Wife by A.S.A Harrison and In The Woods by Tana French were on all of the lists so I am going to check those out!

I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble reading them. They move so slow. I'll have to check those books out too! My favorite series to read are written by Phillipa Gregory. She writes a lot about King Henry VIII. She has a new book out too I need to check out.
I have so much work to do. Today, I'm re-writing my NIH biosketch and editing my grant for submission this week. Then I have to make three different presentations. THREE. I love presentations, but researching and assembling three separate ones is a bit much right now.

Hey GKU! H and I are headed out to lunch and then back home to hang out for the rest of the day. I bought a new shower curtain last night and I'm way too excited to put it up and see how it looks in our bathroom. I love buying new home things. Then I'm hoping to work on a quilt I'm making for our nephew. Hope everyone has a great day!!
I'm still sitting drinking coffee. Lots of chores to do today. Yesterday was a lazy day so I need to be productive today. On my list is cleaning, laundry, groceries, and some meal prep. I also need to do my nails today.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday and it doesn't fly by too quickly!
So I fell asleep on the couch. Didn't hear my text notifications apparently.. When I woke up I saw Some texts from MH so I texted him to see what he wanted.
He asked why I hadnt responded right away and I responded that I had passed out on the couch. He immediately called me to see if I was okay and what was wrong. LOL he thought I had Iiterally had passed out, poor guy I didn't mean to give him a heart attack!
ETA: I almost feel like he and I have had this same miscommunication about "passing out" before. Clearly I should stop using that phrase lol

Oh man, I usually devour Outlander books in a matter of days. It is seriously one of my favorite series.

I see where he's coming from. I'd have an adverse reaction if someone told me they'd passed out via text and they meant slept. I would already be on my way driving to get them by the time they clarified. I'm a worrier though.
We are at the wedding... Way too early. My SO was adamant we had to leave SUPER EARLY. Now we're here with 40 minutes to kill. Boo. at least you have good seats?
We finally got power back around 3am. It woke the dog up. She bolted from the foot of the bed to sit right next to me, stomping on my stomach in the process.
I need to take stock of the house and do a little better power outage/storm prep before fall, I guess. It took me twenty minutes of walking around with my cell phone as a light to find the ONE flashlight we own, and I never did find the matches to light candles.

Hahaha you must have missed my previous post where it was a bring your own chair wedding. We didn't bring chairs, we'll probably stand in the back.

I wouldn't have brought chairs either. We were invited to a wedding this year and on the response card it said "if you plan on attending but don't send in your RSVP, we suggest you bring a sandwich and a chair." I judged the shit out of that.
