ahhh love it! And is that the birth stone for both? That is like the one jewelry item I want, I've been eyeing yurman for years. Have a great day!! Thanks! Yes, it's my and C's birthstone...B missed it by 4 days. I love their stuff, too. I have earrings, and had one of the bracelets...until it fell off in the mall. Still makes me ill to think about. The girl that helped me at JCrew the other day had on one of the thick cable bracelets, two different rings, and earrings. I was like, "uh, maybe I should get a job at JCrew?" LOL. eta: tgrimes can you trade it in or something? LOL. It's a shame not to wear it but I can see why you wouldn't. I always think of it as a Texas thing, I don't know why...maybe b/c the first couple people I ever knew who wore it were from Dallas, haha. I have no idea if you can trade it in. I've never looked into it.

Anyone else's kids ask a questions and answer it in the question but still expect you to answer it? Example: N: "Mom, why does H have to stay home from daycare so he doesn't share germs and get his friends sick?" N: "Why can't we touch ChaCha (the elf) because he then he'll lose his magic and that will be bad?" uhhhh you literally just answered it. What else do you want me to say? She's been doing this non stop lately yes he also calls me in then tells me what he thinks I should say. Example: He's in the bathroom, finishing peeing. "Mom, can you say 'wow! that's a lot of pee!"

I've never looked into it. There's a nice jewelry store around here that has a section for estate and divorce jewelry. I almost bought a watch there once. It's all really nice/pricey stuff at a good discount. I bet you could just get rid of it , then use the cash to buy what you really want.

tgrimes sell that stuff or redo it! My mom just made her old 10 year anniversary ring from my dad into a lovely diamond pendant necklace. Also my ENT said today that goop could come out of ears if water and stuff gets in there..and he gave us ear plugs to use in bath so she gets used to them for swimming. I feel like no one has mentioned having to use ear plugs though? He said the soap in bath water makes it easier to get into tubes and cause trouble. He said do drops but if 4 days of crap and still coming, then we may need to go in for them to clean it out.

tallb We don't use ear plugs; I did specifically ask about them b/c I remember kids wearing them when I was young, but our ENT said they use "Florida-friendly" tubes (e.g., they're safe for swimming, etc) so no need???

Jealous! Yeah I have no idea.. poor girl has had 1 bath since they said put cotton in her ears until her follow up..I'm sure this will go over well.

tallb my ENT said S doesn’t need ear plugs. Eta: S doesn’t ever submerge her head so I am really not worried about it.

tgrimes My ex always bought me heart shaped jewelry...I have no idea why, I never once told him I liked heart shaped jewelry. For some dumb reason, I still have it all, but never wear it. But it isn't worth much. What did you do with your first wedding ring? I sold mine to a pawn store, got almost nothing, but what was I going to do with it? Maybe that's an option?

Also hi. I had a call earlier today to review client comments on some documentation I provided. Some of their concerns were very valid and I think the project manager on this account failed to frame the direction and purpose of the documentation before passing it along, but this one guy... People say he's brilliant but totally lacking in people skills. I've yet to see any signs of brilliance and I'd call him a complete paranoid asshole, but potato/potahto. After his boss said the initial draft was a great start and I was very open to their suggestions, he started in with "writing documentation isn't for everyone, and that's okay!" Actually, I'm your only option buddy, so you may want to rethink trying to run me off this project. Asshole.

I've decided we are ending 2017 by "eating down our pantry (and freezer). So much food that we forget is there. I hope it doesn't blow my diet and i hope the meals don't suck to bad. I have this feeling there is a lot of mexican in store for the next few days.

Ugh, there are two neurosurgeons who were recommended to us for Charlie. One has an appt this Tuesday, but doesn't take our insurance and the one who does doesn't have an appt til mid January. We're probably going to go this Tuesday anyway.

I really don't know much about Matt Lauer and it's been years since I've seen him in action. His pornstache he was growing was timely. From a lot that I've read many people said they got creeper vibes from him and I know nothing of the Ann Curry thing. Can anyone fill me in? Did he do gross things on air or was it just rumors for a long time? I saw that he's accused of flashing himself and sending "gifts" of sex toys. Pervert.

Yeah, ew to the whole Matt Lauer thing, but I’ve never liked him. I just always got a smug, condescending vibe. And now apparently he’s a creepy pervert to boot. #teamHoda to get his spot also tallbtgrimes how have I never heard the story of your first wedding ring being worn under your nose everyday? That is nuts and really, really odd. I wonder if it’s ever occurred to her that it’s a little screwy.

It has been a lovely day, thank you for all the good wishes. C and I ran some errands and toured a preschool this morning, and finished up birthday shopping for B (who asked if his birthday is "to-morning"...sorry, kid, just a few more days). Now both kids are down and DH is headed out to get PF Chang’s take-out, and there are red velvet cupcakes waiting for me.
