Bah. There's a beer thing here that's about a 2 hour drive away and last week, someone on FB posted, anyone interested in sharing a bus? I chirped up immediately, then didn't hear anything. I circled back around to it yesterday and got a vague, oh, we downsized it to a van, that's why we didn't get back to you. And I just saw the folks today at a bottle share. And I'm glad I won't be stuck on the road with those fools, but I just wonder... why don't they like me? It's like high school all over again. I've done nothing - I've been wracking my brain to see if there's something I did or said to offend this particular group. I thought they liked me, I wouldn't have volunteered to bus with them in the first place if that wasn't the case.
So I'm feeling really stupid and insecure and I needed to vent about it. I'm just really, really confused.
Ugh, that's painful Nora.
I'm having a "none of my clothes look good on me and I'm too fat to leave the house" evening (not true, I know, but somehow when I look in the mirror none of the outfits look good). I think part of the issue is I really want to be wearing the new leggings I got at OldNavy, but I put them on yesterday and hey looked great...until I realized they were really freakin see through. So those need to be returned, sadly. :(

Pfft. They're stupid. I love hanging out with you.
So this one time? My luggage caught an earlier flight. This was not that time. It's at least in LA now, but not in my presence yet.
For those arguing about refugees, it may be worth pointing that Anne Frank's family tried to emigrate to both the USA and England and were turned down and denied refuge in both nations. [link] (Scroll down to "A new life in the Netherlands") Don't know if it will penetrate any brick walls, but if you want to try arguing with someone, that may be a good example to give. (And I know from Hil's experience a few days ago that the some of the worst or most fearful simply won't believe it.)
Person on FB just referred to the way some people think Christians are "enfilades".
It's like a savory version of profiteroles?
OMG, everyone at my job can kiss my ass so hard right now. I don't even know.
Mmm, savory profiteroles.
Sorry, Jesse. Must pretty bad to warrant that response on a Saturday morning.
I think everyone needs the holiday break. Yipes! Although in our case the holiday part is offset by the fact that the kids have a day off that DH and I need to work, so they will be having a college day I guess? One of us will let them tag along, probably me since I can, if need be, bug out after my last class.
I'm hoping I get to see sarameg this visit since I missed out last time she was here. Wheee!
Also OMG Franny! You guys! Remember how she gave that performance and how much it moved me? I decided not to post the flyer on FB since it has the names of all the kids who performed, and they are kids and I feel like I should protect them, but anyway.... So yesterday Frances brought home an art piece so she can finish it over break and I am honestly kind of blown away. Hand drawn image of girl with flowers in her hair. It looks like she drew it free hand but I am guessing she had a picture she was working from. AND she has some lovely photos, one of which I want to buy as a large print so she can hang it because it's so great. She's such an artist, which I knew before, but it's so wonderful to see what she creates.
