Shit Teh German Said #14

tG: Hang on to your britches, bitches.
tM: You'll just have to deal with my britcheslessness since I have to brace myself so I don't slam into the side of the truck.
tG: At least you're embraced.


tG: I don't have a lot of hobbies, but all the ones I do have are expensive.


At dance lessons, we'd been making Rumba boxes.
Dance Instructor: Do you know what I'm trying to get you to do?
tG: Step outside the box?



tM: Did they post pictures of the baby?
tG: No, he sent them to me.
tM: Aww, it's cute.  Looks like him and still like a swollen lizard.
tG: It looks like a lot of work.
tM: I wanna hump you so hard and not make any babies when you talk like that.



tG: Are we getting the ice cream crap?
tM: The ice cream crepe, yes.  Not crap.
tG: Oh it's crap in German.
tM: You took French, you should know it's crepe.  You can't blame this on language barrier.
tG: That's why I'm pretty sure it's crap.
tM: I think you just have a thing.  Cheese turds, ice cream crap.
tG: It's pretty shitty.


tM: Don't call it street corn if it's from a can.
tG: Don't give it street credibility if it ain't from the hood.



I have no idea what this is in reference too, but it's funny in a random way.
tG: You ate the top off, now it's topless and your avocados are showing.


Teh German was in a mood, so I jumped on him and his phone got trapped between our chests while I was applying my full body weight to "smother" him.
tG: My phone!
tM: It's fine.  Although you probably just liked some KKK thing.
tG: Or Donald Trump.  That's even worse.
(PS. When I put this in my log, "Trump" was autocorrected to Trumpet and it made me remember this site.)


tM: Internet, you are boring.
tG: Don't talk like that about the internet!





Shit Teh German Said Edition 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 

Five on Friday #127

EINS

Random Shit:

• I worked from home on Tuesday because I had 2 different doctor's appointments.  I had lofty goals of accomplishing homework.  I accomplished nothing but spending money for wedding things on Etsy.  BUT I GOT SO MANY AWESOME THINGS (and spent so much money)!
• 6 more months of handicapped parking for meeeeeeeeeeeeee and I seriously need to do my exercises regularly.
• Math test today.  FML.  Just need to pass, just need to pass.. and this time I didn't have hurricane week to study.  No bueno.
• I hired a house cleaner this week.  I feel like such a lush, but the reality is, Teh German isn't going to do it (and if he did it wouldn't meet my OCD standards) and I don't have time.  Additionally, the stress of thinking about cleaning when I have so much shit going on was making life even worse.  I am committed to the laundry and Teh German is committed to the dishes and we are a pretty good team about dinner these days, but when it comes to cleaning the floors and the bathrooms and dusting... it just isn't happening.  Honestly, paying for someone to come once a month to take care of these things is totally worth the hit to the GI Bill money we're getting.
• Remember back when you could watch your computer defragment itself?  I miss that.  Oh, just me?  Nevermind.
• Teh PT Kid asked for Willie Jewell's this week and we were happy to agree on a dinner date on Wednesday.
• When I drink Teh German's coffee, it keeps me up for approximately 24+ hours.  I wish I was kidding.  I did a test on Wednesday and drank less than half of what Teh German makes at home (he drinks more coffee at work) and I wasn't tired at 11pm.  I had gotten up at 0530 that morning and finished that coffee (water down with milk and creamer and sugar) by 0730.  WTF AM I BUYING HIM AND HOW DOES HE FALL ASLEEP SO EASILY AT NIGHT?!?!?
• After class today I'm going to a HUGE book sale and I hope I'm not disappointed.  Teh PT Wife and I have been planning on attending this event for over a month now.  Since books are half off on Sunday, I'm totally willing to go back.  #priorities #bookworm4life
• My genius idea to do photos at Charleston Library Society may flop.  I need to deal with that disaster in the very near future... considering I wanted to do the portraits next Wednesday.  /facepalm #thisismylife
• I have approximately 4x2 hours worth of Chem homework to do this weekend.  The professor said the assignment was supposed to take 4 hours, which means at least double that for me.  I cannot wait to waste my life this weekend learning shit that I plan on forgetting in 2.5 months.

ZWEI

Money spent:

• 1 year of Bagheera insurance.  I saved $5 from last year!
• A new beer collar for Pax, which Teh German asked for when we got Pax, but I couldn't find one either of us liked enough to purchase.  Then, Teh Dental Hygienist accidentally stumbled on the most perfect collar a few weeks ago and I contacted the seller with my needs and she said she was happy to comply.  Done.
• Razors for Teh German from Meh.com since they were $1 each.  I got him the women's razors because I liked the colors better.  It's good he loves me.
• Groceries... 3 different times.  Yay for Walmart Grocery pickup.  Seriously.
• Wedding - cake topper, personalized hangers (which are completely frivolous, I know but I was finally starting to feel giddy about wedding things, so I went with it.)
• Doc copay to tell her that anxiety meds were working and for her to order more meds for me. Ugh.
• Ortho copay (ugh, I'm tired of paying this one)
• $1 to the DMV for my handicapped sign.

DREI

From my phone:

Teh German tried on his entire wedding ensemble.
I'm gonna marry that sexy man.

We coffee-ed together last weekend.
Pretty sure Teh German's coffee kept me awake most of Sunday night.

I found out that my homies are doing a Princess themed bachelorette party for me.
This image represents what is probably going to happen.

When your math homework looks like this, everything sucks.

The Neighbor Besties gang went to the rodeo on Saturday night.
The ladies found it humorous that the men all were in the same position.

Wedding presents are awesome.

Finally wore my rain boots this week!
My chem lab teacher complimented the fact that it was raindrops and not polka dots and said it was very fitting.

When your chem lab calls for making bubbles in a compound with a straw and you think,
"I do this all the time with my adult beverages, so I'm practiced at this."
and then no chemical reaction takes place because the compounds were too weak....
So much hot air wasted.

PSA: Creamer will make you fat.

What do you call Dracula when he has hay fever?
The pollen Count.

I won't lie.  Testing out wedding cupcakes hasn't hurt my feelings a little bit.

You can't really read the output of this script, so I will write it for you:
Enter a string to be tested.
Type quit to quit.
quit (<NO.

The edge of the clouds looked like a woman overlooking an area on my dog walk last night.

Mamaaa, touccchhhhhh meeeeeeeeeeeee....

VIER

From the internet:

• Steph's notes from the Philadelphia Women's Conference where she listened to some awesome women speak, to include Michelle Obama and Shonda Rimes.  I won't lie, I'd jizz my panties to see Michelle Obama speak.
• My favorite take away from Steph's notes:
  If you meet someone and they tell you you are too much for them, they are right. Do not dim your light for someone else's convenience.  ~Carla Harris
• The names you give people and things matter.  Words are power.  ~Shonda Rimes

Very few of you probably noticed that I did not do a SUYB post this month.  A handful of you probably noticed there was no weekend review this week either.  You are not mistaken, these posts did not happen. 

I've had the SUYB post drafted since last month's post went live and have kept the book list updated as the month chugged along, but never bothered to write reviews and my Goodreads reviews are seriously lacking this month..  Priorities have shifted (sadly) and blogging about reading is just not as doable as it once was, such is the effect of spending so much of your free time doing homework.  If you are interested in my #bookwormlife, I update my reading progress daily on Goodreads.

I will give you a general summary of my progress since I would be remiss if I didn't:
Completed:
Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy  4/5 (hard copy, own)
Winter by Marissa Meyer  4/5 (library, ebook/Audible audiobook)
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas   4.75/5 (Audible audiobook)

In Progress:
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson  */5 (Audible audiobook)
Stars Above by Marissa Meyer  */5 (hard copy, own)
Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers   */5 (ebook, library)  


TL;DR: If you're wanting social commentary, check out The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.  Don't worry about being late to the game on this one.  Julie Murphy followed up Dumplin' with Ramona Blue and I'm not disappointed I own it.  I would still like to read Fairest by Marissa Meyer to finish off The Lunar Chronicles, but we'll see if I receive it from the library before YALL Fest.  The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson is approximately a mabillionty hours long (45.5 hours to be exact) and after 10 hours of listening to it, I'm ready to find out what happens, but not ready to need to feel like I need to read/listen to ~10 follow-up books in the series.  I have Jamie and Claire to get back to!  I am most excited about reading Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers because Brit gave it ALLCAPS REVIEWS and I'm all, #FOMO over here, so I downloaded the first book of the series the day after I read her review because I have no self-control when it comes to reading.

PS.  School work definitely interferes with reading progress, but I'm soooo lucky that my commute is even longer to school than to work!  All that extra listening time!  LOL.

FÜNF

10 things that made me happy this week:

1. Fantasy books that intrigue me.
2. Not needing to drink coffee this week.
3. Peppermint mocha creamer.
4. Buying wedding decorations and starting to get giddy excited about the wedding.
5. Writing my vows, that really took a burden off my shoulders and I only cried a little bit when I read through them.
6. Feedback from my instructor saying that I was doing well on my computer science tasks.
7. Teh German's encouragement to step away from my math book and decompress before my math test instead of sitting and staring at the book trying to understand it.  PS.  Proof by induction and all it's relatives are fucking stupid.
8. Dog walks where I listen to my audiobooks.  I can't run, so this is my substitution.
9. Planning surprises for people.  
10. UNDER 20 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Friday, Gentle Readers.

Unpopular Opinions Part 2

Megan's Unpopular Opinions...  Part 2.

Stars/Popular Musicians/Actors/People/Athletes

I can barely keep up with my own life and my own people.  To keep up with what TSwift or who the fuck ever is just too much effort for me.  I've accepted that other people love this time of entertainment (Teh Running Bestie) and she chooses to love me even if I don't share her joy.

Make-up/Face things

I rarely ever wear make up and when I do, it's what I've had for years.  People who get excited over the newest Naked palettes blow my mind.  I just don't get what is so special about that eye shadow.  They all look like they are pretty much the same color to me.  I don't even use face wash anymore.  I realized it was just breaking me out worse and when I stopped using products on my face, my skin cleared up (with the exception of my blackheads in my t-zone because I have the world's largest pores).  I use a wet wash cloth in the shower and face wash/make up remover cloth before bed and I'm done.  Minimal effort.  I'll probably look 98 when I'm 50.  #MeganProblems

Sports are stupid/overrated

Let me tell you how many fucks I give about this whole NFL/#takeaknee debacle: 0.  I give zero fucks.  Here's why.  Because I never gave a fuck about the NFL to begin with.  If that isn't enough, please check my opinion above on "Popular People."  I will partake of NHL (hockey), but that's because at one point in my life I worked where the Carolina Hurricanes played and I got into the fact that the players could punch each other.  I enjoy going to the Stingrays games because it's a local activity and the players still get to punch each other.  The NFL has never impressed me.  Baseball is boring as fuck.  Basketball was never something I could play well, so I always shunned it.  As a kid, NASCAR was a huge thing in my life, because my dad and other family members were into it, not because I thought Rusty Wallace was the best thing ever.

Any specific type of book is better than another

I've been on my soapbox about how great audiobooks are for a few years now.  I've been doing the ebook thing for at least 5 years.  Know what?  I love the convenience of technology.  That doesn't mean that I only read one format of books.  I will take books in any format.  Recently, I've been getting back into reading hard copy books, because it happens to be the format that I had on hand.  I'm all about whatever is easier and cheaper. 

Android is better than Apple

Specifically, cell phones, but probably in general.  Android is more customizable and user-friendly and you don't have to be part of the Apple oligarchy.  That said, being part of the Google cult does make the Android life easier.

I don't care about revolutionary music artists of days gone by.

I came into my music preferences in high school (2000-2004).  I'll always be an alt-rock gal.  I was raised on country music, so I will always secretly like country music.  I'll even admit to liking Bro Country.  But I don't care about Prince or Michael Jackson or the Beatles or hair bands from the 80s.  If you ask me about a band that isn't a popular 90s country artist or a late 90s-early 2000s rock band, I will probably have no idea who you are talking about.  That said, I lurve me some Goo Goo Dolls and Mumford & Sons and some EDM (electronic dance music).  Eclectic tastes?  Yes, that's me.

Five on Friday #126

EINS

Random things:

• Why the gas station would put a $150 hold on my card for gas is beyond me.  I drive a fucking Kia.  #Rage
• It took 2 peppermint mocha creamers and some sugar to make my coffee bearable.  Thank you, Company, for providing all those things for freeizzle.
• I had Doritos for breakfast one day this week.  #notsorry #adultinglikeaboss
• I was searching through my photos on Google for a specific picture that I couldn't find and ended up scrolling through 3 years worth of photos and I loved every minute.

Can we just talk about the sweetness of first time snuggles?
And how dark my Meri-Meri was when she was a baby?

•  After talking to a photographer about bridal portraits and location options and seeing places charging $50 for 30 minutes in their location, I noticed a picture on Pinterest of a bride in front of a wall of books... AND THE GENIUS HIT ME.  I called the Charleston Library Society about doing a photoshoot in the library and they said yes.  They are only going to charge me $100 for 2 hours, which is wayyy better than some of the other historical homes.  DUNNNN.
• I sat outside for most of the afternoon yesterday at work and it was fabulous.  Temps in the 70s bring me such joy during the daytime.
• It's been a delightfully quiet week for me, despite being a full moon.  *KNOCK ON SOME MOTHERFUCKIN WOOD!*
• JK.  Right after I typed that, Teh German informed me that there was a poopsplosion on our guest bed.  I knew I jinxed myself.  *Quietly repeating to myself: My dogs are so cute, my dogs are so cute, do not kill them, do not kill them.* 
  Update: I have no idea what actually happened here, but I'm 90% confident the mattress is ruined.  In good news, I didn't even get upset, so YAY for the anxiety meds working.

ZWEI

Things I bought this week:

• Groceries/house things from Walmart/Sams
• Gas
• Banana pudding at Home Team
• Friday coffee and an apple fritter that I mostly didn't eat.
• Subway (I had a coupon and I've been having a craving for Subway, it was weird.)

It has become alarming how much money I'm NOT spending.  Like maybe I'm forgetting to buy something?  Idk, I'll take it.  JK, I'm about to drop a ton of money on wedding things. Siiiigh.

DREI

From my phone:

We saw this at Walmart and I appreciated someone else's ingenuity.

Got pulled over Tuesday morning for speeding.
Apparently, you should slow down when the officer gets behind you, despite the fact that you know they caught you going 10 over the posted speed limit...  Fortunately, I only received a warning.

Family peanut butter time.
The beasts received frozen peanut butter kongs and I treated myself to a frozen peanut butter hot chocolate while I did homework outside.  This ensured that Meri didn't nudge me for butt scratches for a solid 20 minutes.

What do you call a fish with no eyes?
Fsh.

Another joke that I forgot to selfie with:
What does a didgeridoo?
Whatever it wants to.

What do you call a bird who drinks too much?
An owlcoholic.

Teh German has decided to start a new project and he went and fetched a new motorcycle last night.
It was obviously a full moon because when he asked me I said yes.
Now he has something to do while I do homework... or so he says.

VIER

From the internet:

Things that are harder to acquire than a gun..


I've been Pinterest-ing tattoo ideas.  The itch is baaaadddd..
I'm torn between a tree theme, large geometric sleeve, something Disney related, or a book theme.  #MeganProblems

FÜNF

10 things that made me happy this week:

1. Sitting outside at work.
2. Friday coffee.
3. Homework assistance from the instructor.
4. Doing well in my German class without much effort and compliments on my essays.
5. Doritos for breakfast, Fruity Pebbles with marshmallows for dinner.
6. Hoodies.
7. Making forms in Microsoft Word (don't judge me).
8. Dog walks in the evenings.
9. Reading.
10. Teh German's happiness/relief when he said, "Hey Babe, can I buy..." and I said yes without him finishing the sentence.  And that's the story of how a 3rd motorcycle came to be housed in our garage... 

Happy Friday, Gentle Readers.

Unpopular Opinions Part 1

Megan's unpopular opinions...

Beer is disgusting.  All beer.  Cheap beer.  Craft beer.  ALL BEER.

Don't try to change my mind.  Yes, I will take a sip of Teh German's beers every now and then, but there isn't a beer that I've tried that is enjoyable.  Not a single beer has graced my mouth that made me thing, "Yeah, I want more of this."  I have drank beers before that have been experiments in toleration.  It's not my jam.  It means more for you.

All wine tastes like Jesus Communion wine.

I don't like wine either.  I blame this on being raised Catholic.  Just like beer, I've tried many a sip of wine all to the same result: I could probably tolerate some of those wines, but nary a one has been something that I wanted to ingest more of.  Again, more for you!

Doing things on a mobile device/tablet is better than doing it on a computer.

NO.  That stupid tiny keyboard is only meant for making me feel like I have oversized foam thumbs.  Autocorrect is of the devil.  Mobile websites are complete garbage since they usually don't have full functionality (with the exception of our mobile wedding website, which I purposely made with exactly the same functionality as the desktop version, you are welcome very much).  That said, "I don't use a computer," is NOT a valid excuse if you are constantly updating your Facebook from your phone.  If you can use the Facebook app, you can manage to open up the browser app and go to websites.  It's a thing.  I promise.

Winter is best.  Fall is bestest.

I live in the asshole of the South, if you don't believe that, check out a map of South Carolina and determine the proximity of Charleston in relation to the east coast's butt (PS. Lake Michigan looks like a dick).  When someone was discussing how they thought it was super miserable this summer after they moved here in June and myself and another individual had to inform them that this summer was actually very mild compared to "normal" Charleston summers, they almost packed up their shit right there and moved to another state.  Most people in Charleston are all about that "Salt Life" (barf), but I'm all about that Hood Life.  By hood life I mean HOODIE life.  My world is pretty much perfect when I'm wearing a hoodie.  There is never a day that I'd rather be hot and dealing with swamp ass over being cold.  I love some warm socks and blankets and snuggles.  Die, Summer, die.

TV is stupid.

People seem to have a hard time accepting the fact that I/we don't watch TV.  I don't know why.  I cannot stand the commercials, I can't stand the stereotypes and pushed agendas.  Essentially, I hate everything.  There are times when I think to myself that I want to watch TV and then I spend 5 minutes watching it in public somewhere (doctor's office or at someone else's house or a restaurant or the vet center on campus) and I remember why I never watch TV.  Yes, I could choose to watch awesome shows after the fact without commercials, but that leads me to my next point...

Popular things are stupid.

Ok, on this point, I've been proven wrong a few times, but generally, I am strong in my opinions about this.  I didn't read Harry Potter or Twilight until 2012, pretty much at the start of their decline in popularity.  I didn't want to be part of the fangirl crowd and that continues to this day.  What does this mean for me when I do finally get around to partaking in whatever craze is going around?  It's probably already over.  All the books are published, all the episodes are released.  I don't have to wait on the next episode.  #betterlatethannever  PS.  I've fallen out of touch with Grey's Anatomy, Game of Thrones, and Silicone Valley.  I'm not heartbroken about it.

Coffee is gross.

Unless it contains a diabetic coma inducing amount of sugar and/or flavoring.  Peppermint mochas year round for me.  I have partaken of pumpkin spice, but I'd rather have a peppermint mocha any day.

Energy drinks are the worst.

The smell of Red Bull makes me gag.  Seriously.  I don't understand how people can drink that garbage.  Teh German likes to get them when we drive long distances and I spend a majority of that time with my nose in my shirt.. sniffing my boobs?  Whatevs, anything is better than the smell of chemicals that are probably not digestible.

Weekend Review {10/2}

 Weekend review on Tuesday?  Hello new normal. 

FRIDAY

Friday was work and school.  I had a German vocab test, nbd, and I attended a Cyber Club meeting as a culture event for my math class.  I hate stupid requirements like this, but it's an easy grade and I need the boost, so I do the stupid shit. 

I closed down my office and headed home after 5:30.

Teh Neighbor Besties decided to have dinner at Toast, which went poorly.  The food was disappointing and I was hangry and Teh German was being a douche.  After dinner, we headed over to Teh PT House for smoking time.

Max tried on his woolly mammoth costume.
Aka, Teh PT Wife put a fuzzy dick on her dog's head.

Finally, it was bedtime.

SATURDAY

Saturday morning, I got up to feed the beasts.  Instead of going back to bed, I stayed up.  I snuggled with the dogs on the guest bed for about 30 minutes, then finally got up and went downstairs and had leftover biscuit for breakfast while I puzzled.  Teh PT Wife agreed to let me tag along while she ran her errands and I knew that if I had went back to bed there would be no way I'd be ready by 0830.  After puzzling for a bit, I got ready and headed over at 0828.

New plates were a registry gift!  Woot!
PS.  Thank you was already send.  #Likeaboss

After dropping off Teh PT Kid at camp, we headed to Walmart for some items and shenanigans.  Apparently these costume heads are a thing and Teh Running Bestie told me they were perfect for Teh Blog.  CHECK.

A sloth and a creepy bunny.  #winning

After Walmart, we did some damage at Sam's Club, we picked up Teh PT Kid right on time, and then headed back home. 

Teh German and I had a noon Skype date with Aunt P.  My German comprehension isn't that great yet, but I feel like I'm picking up on more than I used to.  Or maybe I just recognized the topics and could keep up that way.  IDK. 

After our Skype date, I had lunch and puzzled.  I had a massage scheduled for 2:15.  It was pretty good and much needed.  When I got home, I did some puzzle for a little bit before finally showering and getting ready to head over to Teh PT House for a dinner gathering.  Teh German arrived a bit later since he was working on his pallet project and he wanted to finish painting the frame boards.  Don't worry, it didn't make much sense to me either.

He eventually arrived and eventually it was dinner time.  Teh PT Husband made his chicken riggies, which he toned down the spice for me, but it was still really spicy for me, but tasted delicious.  After dinner was cleaned up, we headed outside for smoking hour.

Eventually, Teh Dental Hygienist and Teh AF Maintainer joined us.  Shortly after, it was bedtime for the old folks.

SUNDAY

Sunday morning, I got up with the assholes and went back to bed after.  Eventually, Teh German got up and I got up shortly after he did.  We had breakfast and Teh German told me that it was his goal to finish the pallet wall in the living room by the end of the day... which would require my help.  Ugh.

1 thing I've learned in the 2 years we've been together, we don't work well on projects together.  I take all of Teh German's rage personally, even though none of it is usually directed at me.  I think really it's a matter of Teh German not working well with others, but I won't tell him that.

After breakfast, I finished up my puzzle then attempted to start on homework.

Unfortunately, when I'd start getting into a groove of doing things, Teh German would summon me.

The back/framing for the pallet boards.

Most of my Helper McHelperton job was done after the back frame was put up.  I did have to assist with putting the TV back on the mount, but otherwise, I was able to accomplish homework while Teh German installed the boards on wall.

While Teh German was working, I tried to keep the dogs entertained and out of the way.  Pig ears for both.  Meri got a little grumbly when Pax came too close since he always finishes his treats super fast.  I mitigated though and no one got hurt.

Apparently, Sunday was also "Black Dog Day" and I used this as an excuse to get some photos, even though I don't really subscribe to these random ass special days.

Teh German finished up putting the boards on the wall right before dinner.  He saved cleaning up to do on Monday evening so he could have a bit of time to wind down after so much manual laboring.

With the project complete and a standstill on homework, we settled for the evening and watched and episode of Mad Men and then it was bedtime.

MONDAY

Monday was a school day and it was a fabulous 63°F when I woke up which meant: SWEATSHIRT WEATHERRRRR!!!!!

Few things bring me as much joy as wearing a sweatshirt.  Let's just hope these temps stick around because I love me some fall weather.

School was school.  I made a 21/20 on my German test.  I headed home after doing my lab homework in class since class ended early.  I hung out with the crazy beasts fighting a headache.  When Teh German got home, he announced that it was out last date-aversary as a non-married couple.  I asked if he wanted to celebrate and we eventually decided yes.  We opted to go get dinner and after debating a couple of places near home, when Teh German suggested we take it back to the start and go to Home Team BBQ, I was down.  When we pulled up to the intersection across from Home Team, our parking spot (the spot closest to the door) was taken. 

Then, as we crossed the street, I noticed that the car in the spot was halfway out.  I told Teh German that the person was leaving.  As we turned into the parking lot, the car had left and our spot was open!  It was meant to be.

After dinner, we headed back home.  We did a quick walk with the dogs who needed to be worn out since they were driving me crazy.  Pax had been extra chatty while I had been laying on the couch trying to fight off a headache and Meri was incessant with her rubbing against me for butt scratches.  They are my assholes.  After a walk, we all plopped down in the living room for an episode of Mad Men.

After the episode, we did our bedtime chores and it was bedtime.

______________________________________________

Overall, a pretty good weekend spent with Teh Neighbor Besties.  Teh German finally accomplished his pallet board project and I'm glad it's done with.  He has been stressing over it for several weeks now.  It looks good and I think adds a nice aesthetic to the living room.  Now if I'd get motivated and finish the picture wall for behind the couch, the living room would be lived in.

I'm thinking that a tool belt and new stud finder would be perfect gifts for Teh German since he's been so into projects lately.  I'm interested in a new pencil gripper (like those foam ones) and a big eraser since I'm probably going to use up the eraser in my mechanical pencil (aka lead pencil) in the near future.  I'm thinking some of those fun holiday erasers like kids get at birthday parties would be perfect.

This week's agenda is light.  I have a German test on Friday, we have dance lessons on Friday night and we're already planning on getting pizza from the delicious place down the strip.  I am also slated to run a 10k on Saturday, but that's looking like a no.  There is a 5k option which I could walk, but I'm just not sure if I'm going to bother at all.  IDK.  I have some wedding tasks to accomplish this week (fill out the music forms, write my vows, make a photo shot list, call about the brews cruise, call about the rehearsal food reservation, and call about bridal portraits/a makeup trial run) and I am going to try and stay ahead of my homework... ahahahahahahhaah.

Happy October, Gentle Readers.

May your sweatshirts be warm and your marshmallow candles be sweet smelling.
