Owl writes about things that make people blush

Actually I have a wife and 2 adult daughters. I'm also a night shift guy and my wife works days. You wanna know how many times I got a cal at work in the morning, "Hon, can you stop on the way home and pick up pads? The girls are out..."

I'm a good hubby and dad, I even knew which brand, style and size to get (that might just be a self preservaton reflex though).
My ex used to joke that every man who has to buy "female stuff" for a girlfriend or spouse should do not just unashamedly, but with pride. His perspective was that buying tampons is a clear indication that you have an intimate relationship with a woman. (Ok, that's paraphrased - I think his actual words were "it shows that you get laid regularly" or something like that.)
 
Yeah, it was not like I ever had an issue with it, but...

Take this visual with you for a moment...

6'8" overweight man at the grocery store or Wal mart in the check out lane with always infinity pads and a package of nylons...

Tell me the cashier isn't secretly chuckling...
 
I had no idea.. but does drinking it sort of make the calories negative? Is that why it says zero? And how can it say zero if it's not, I mean, even my Sambucus says 25 calories in 2 TBSP. oh well...

Oops, I dunno about the Coke 0, I thought you guys said Diet Coke and I had just looked it up the other day. I wanted to tell Mr. Chunky* at work to stop guzzling two litres at a time of the stuff, but it wasn't as bad as I had thought.

*seriously, this guy tried to pick on me about my weight one night when he is 30 pounds heavier than me, shorter, and looks like he is pregnant with my gut on top of his own :grrface:
 
Trust me my owlish friend, there is not much you could say that could be embarassing, offensive or likely to make me walk away. You should see some of the convo's I've been involved in in this place in the past...

Yeah, I'm typically the embarrasser, not the embarrassee...
 
My weekend sucked. I'm not even going to get into it. But I got a lot accomplished. I also expended a lot of energy. But, I didn't get to do anything I really wanted to. And that always peeves me, after working all week, I'd like a least a moment of me time. Instead, I broke my back to do things just to get them done and over with.

And, its almost 1pm here and I forgot to eat all day. I've had about 500 gallons of coffee though. So I'm doing okay.
 
Bah. I'm sorry about your weekend. I got nothing accomplished with mine, but at least it didn't suck.

Eat something! :) Offset the caffeine. And remember that (as my mom used to say) "This too shall pass."

(Ok, yeah, I wanted to slap her every time she said it but it really is true!)
 
Things are settling down. One thing about the weekends that gets to me is my son. He talks non stop, and if he's not actively talking he's singing, humming or making sound effects. It drives me insane. I'm a person that really enjoys the silent moments in life. I have not had one since he discovered his vocal cords. I love mondays, I get to go to work, go into my office, close the door and listen to absolutly nothing for at least an hour.
 
One of the reasons I like cycling, I ride by myself and its easy to shut out the entire world from there.

Hope you are recovering from your weekend.

Owl- I can relate to this one.. my son is 8 and reminds me of your son. Ever since he could talk, it's been endless- like to the point where it borders annoying.. if he's not talking, he's singing, humming, or whining.. he more than makes up for my 5 year old who is non-verbal. He even gave my 5 year old a "special" voice and talks FOR him.. most think this is cute, but that's because they don't live with it. I sneak out to the track after dinner just so I can have complete and total silence. It's ony 1/2 hour but boy do I really look forward to it.. lol
 
You're going to poop sooooo much tonight. And, when you do, can you tell me about it? I uh...I'd just really like to know.

Well...I didn't poop. But, when I do, you'll be the second one to know. Pinky promise.

Today...today...why is it already today? What happened to yesterday? WTF...

Last night my BFF EEEEEeeeeEEEE came over, no really, thats how you say his name, at least when I say it. We drank vodka and diet coke, worked on some artwork, smoked a cigarette, sat down to watch Mad Men, and passed the eff out. Both of us. It was one of those nights, where you lose conciousness and never regain it.

Yesterday I think I only managed about 1000 calories, even with the vodka, because I drank so much coffee I was buzzed most of the afternoon and running around bossing people around, making things happen, and generally pissing off the staff because I was all up in their business.

I dyed my hair brown. So, now I'm a brunette and men don't like me as much anymore. Can you tell just by reading my post, that I'm no longer blonde? Stop staring at my tits.
 
I just realized that I forgot to shop for school clothes and supplies for my kid. School starts next monday. I live in a place where we have to order clothes online, we don't have stores for this here. So, I am frantically bidding on lots of clothes on ebay and trying to buy shoes on zappos. I'm still bidding on phones also, I keep forgetting I'm bidding on a phone and then lose it by a dollar.
 
If it helps any, Aeropostale has sleepwear buy one get one free right now.

Linky for boys



Linky for the non-winkied
 
Not sure if it helps but I never buy back to school clothes for my boys. They have so much damn clothes i have no place to put it. I did offer to get them a back to school outfit. They both declined and said they have enough to chose from. hehe. I raised 'em right so far!

Do they have sears in the states? they must - they are fast here.
 
Well, I only bought one big lot of clothes from ebay, never buy that kid new stuff unless its his birthday or christmas (he ruines clothes fast). Shoes, he has to have new soccer, basketball and school "gym only" shoes plus classroom shoes. I really wish they just had school uniforms here, that would be a lot cheaper for every parent I think. But, I got a lot of clothes on ebay with 6 pairs of pants and 13 shirts plus a pair of shoes and a "bonus pair of shoes". so, I did good. Then I went on zappos and got his school shoes and his grandparents are getting the extra sports shoes for soccer and basketball.

Today I ate breakfast, for real. I got to work a little late, but I have South Beach Living snack bars and ate one of those with my coffee. Today, I will go to the gym and work out for at least 75 minutes. I have a pair of jeans on that are so tight they hurt my hip bones and cause some serious, law breaking, offensive muffin top. But, no camel toe...no worries. I really need to get my ass in gear and lose some weight already. I've been eeking along, going from 184 to 181, down to 179, back up to 181...I need to break through these 180's and get the ball rolling. The end of summer will help. Getting my son back into the school routine will help my routine greatly.

We got a new kitten last night, my son named her Ghosthunter. She is solid grey with long hair starting to come in. She is so cute. She stalked the dog all night long, poor dog. When I woke up this morning GH was curled up on my chest sleeping away. We love her already. She's locked in the spare room right now with her litter box, food, water and a pillow in the window. I'm sure she's fine, but I just want to run home and check on her.
 
Sounds like you did great online! WOO HOO!

I love kitties - and I hear you about wanting to run home and check on her!
