So I got a phone call from Quebec this morning and let it go to voicemail. Some lady left a message in French. Obviously a wrong number so I just deleted it. She called again and I answered but obviously we couldn't understand each other. She kept calling and I ignored it. Then I remembered that my coworker speaks French so I gave him the phone and he talked to her. I guess she thought she was calling a Quebec number.
That was my exciting morning.

That's so strange goldenlove! We are on day 5 of morning nap boycott. And we have a friend coming over a little later. Exactly when she'll be sufficiently cranky from not taking said morning nap and ready for her now one nap of the day. On a positive note, she plays sooooo well by herself now! I just put her down and she explores through all the toys without hardly looking at me! I'm drinking my tea with relaxation.

Dropped DH off at the airport this morning. Trying not to get in a funk. H is nursing like a newborn this morning so I suspect we may be in a growth spurt. goldenlove I got a call from Ireland once. It was actually pretty hilarious. The lady had done an ancestry thing and was trying to track down relatives. She had someone living in our area with our last name and was literally calling every potential person in the phonebook. It wasn't us but was eerily similar. I don't know enough about DHs extended family though so it very well could have been one of his relatives.

tgrimes how's everything on the home front? Did you have much damage? Did I miss an update somewhere? My house is fine and the kids are with my in laws. I'm on a flight Saturday but if they cancel it I'll fly to San Antonio & my in laws will come pick me up. My dad is supposed to come home Saturday. He's doing really well in therapy & could technically come home today. He's getting 3-4 hours of therapy a day right now so every bit helps. We're supposed to try a car transfer with him after lunch. MH had to work today. WTF?

What's up ladies?
I'm in the office.. "working". Actually not too much going on at work at this minute so I might use this time to do some personal stuff. I ordered some stuff with Osh Kosh, Carter's, Crazy 8 last night so I'll be stalking those orders too.
H and I are headed to Boston on Sept 22. Was going to be Ed show #2 but the ticket prices are insane so maybe just dinner and drinks and drinks and a nice comfy quiet sleeping escape. So instead I'll look up fun places to eat and drink.
My sister just got (another) tattoo. Of a fish. On her hand. This is the one with plastic surgery. Oh, this is the same sister that just got matching tattoos with her always on and off boyfriend (supposed fiancée). But your hand?
FFTC: I LOVE tattoos on men and women, but I have some feels about a "pretty girl" (maybe just protective of my sister) with one large tattoo in a place that's visually frequented. To me it's different if they have a lot, or are in certain professions, or if there's a meaning or reason behind it, etc. Don't love the kardashians but like the saying "you don't put a bumper sticker on a Bentley"

YAY for move in day aggiebug!! goldenlove, how strange! I would think the phone numbers would look different, but maybe not? I guess I've never called Canada before. I used to get calls for a person named Jennifer Matthews all.the.time. Like to the point where I had to put in my voicemail "you've reached JubilantSquirrel, NOT Jennifer Matthews. If you want to leave a message for JubilantSquirrel, please do so. If you are trying to reach Jennifer Matthews, please hang up now, this is not her number." It was so weird because at that point I'd had that phone number for at least 5 years. And it was always guys calling, too. I guess good ol Jen was just running around town handing out my phone number to a bunch of random dudes.

LOL kleigh! I have two doves on my left forearm that I got done for my 25th birthday. While I was sitting in the chair there were two guys who were watching me while they waited for their turn, and I could hear them talking about how my face was too pretty to be putting ink on my body, or something like that. It made me laugh. And just to clarify, I'm not at all offended.

I'm working a half day today because it's preschool open house this afternoon!! I can't believe one week from now my baby boy is going to be in preschool! I'm both excited and nervous. He's also started saying "GDI" in like the last week or so, which is just perfect timing. :/

I PERSONALLY prefer to have the option of covering my tattoos if I want to, so hands are a definite No for me.

I wouldn't want to be judged by some asshole bc I have a tattoo so they think they know me. But I'd love to see jubilantsquirrel 'a doves ! Is there any story behind it?

No story, I just think they're pretty. I do have a star on my lower back that I hate and blame my mom for. I got it when I was 18 because she wouldn't let me get my tongue pierced. I do agree about being able to cover any tattoos though. And I'll fully admit that I cringe when I see people with face tattoos. I just don't think they ever look good. Eta to add pic.

jubilantsquirrel I have the old number for "Nick". For a good 3 years I would get calls, messages and texts from grandma, from cousins, from friends. I was in a group chat for a bachelor party once. I got congratulations for "nick's" first born. It got old. I just realized I haven't had a call for nick in like 6 months! Re: tattoos. I personally could never get one because I wouldn't be able to commit to an opinion that I loved it forever. The only exception would be a small family one probably. My H has a really silly one of a face from that "Have A Day" poster that he got when he was young. Some day I'll take a picture and share with the class. He always talks about covering it up with something else but never has followed through. Thankfully it's in an area that is covered unless his shirt is off. Which isn't often.

That's hilarious jubilantsquirrel! My aunt used to get calls from a school all the time about some girl who kept getting in trouble. I wonder if she used a fake number so her parents wouldn't know. And the Canada number is coming up the same as a US number so I'm not really sure there's a difference. But I mean wouldn't you know that the area code you're calling isn't local?

Pretty !!!!! jubilantsquirrel Like you hangry I just don't think there's anything I'd want except maybe a phrase/inspirational quote. I used to want stars on my rib cage, under my arm pit where bra strap/bathing suit strap sits. That's still the place I'd get it IF I ever got one. But at almost 36yo I don't think that's happening now lol.

I'm at the hair salon right now. I haven't done anything different with my hair for 11+ years but 33-year-old me wants a change. I'm excited!
Earlier I went to Orangetheory and then treated myself to a double chocolate sea salt cookie. I haven't had anything that decadent in a month. It was heaven.
On the way here I got to have a call with this complete asshole opposing counsel on a case that I will be trying in December. Nice little preview of my what my fall will be like 🙄
After this I'm headed to a client meeting then home to pack for the Cape and eat cake with my babies. Today is a good day.

Wow danib! That is beautiful but looks incredibly painful! Those doves are quite tasteful also jubilantsquirrel! I really don't think I have any pictures of H's tattoo! I would have to be pretty covert to get this picture without his consent. I'll have to do some work.

The format is the same but the area code is obviously different. She said she thought she was calling a Quebec number but my CW told her it was US.
