Fat

I finally figured out why I'm fat! The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my body says "For extra volume and body". I'm going to start using "Dawn" dish soap. It says " Dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove".

Murphy

Have I told you that Murphy loves to wreak havoc on my life? Why did he have to come up with his crazy law anyway? Here's how Murphy is messing with me now... I took a test for a job oh, about 400 miles away (1 hour by plane, 5+ by car) back on February 16th. Turns out I passed the test and "I am among the top qualified candidates". My presence is now requested for a mandatory information session. If I don't attend I will not be able to schedule my interview. Now March has 31 days in it. I can go any of the 30 out of the 31 days. My husband has a manager day at his school. He is managing the restaurant and using some of my grandmother's recipes, Disney recipes, etc. Food is going to be great and I need to show up to be supportive. So other than that ONE day I can make it down to SoCal. Now let's all take a wild guess as to when my information session just got scheduled for. That's right - Tuesday the 15th, my husband's manager day! I now have to figure out how to get down there because of all days he needs the truck to get to school. He even needs to get there early to make sure everything is set up. He will not be available to watch the kids. His day runs from 8:00-5:00. I need to be in SoCal at 6:00 sharp. Doors close precisely at 18:00. Why??? Why??? Why?? I have enough on my plate now to try to deal with this. I am looking at flights at this point, but I have no one to pick me up at the other end. If I take the flight at 11:15 (arriving at 12:25) I will miss the lunch which runs from 11:30-1:30. If I take the 3:25 flight (arriving at 4:30) I think I will be a nervous wreck getting from the airport to the facility which is 33 minutes away (assuming Yahoo maps is accurate) and that is without traffic. Then I need someone to wait while I attend this session, and by the way, I have no idea how long it will be. Oh yeah, and then I need to get back to the airport. Last possible flight out that night is at 9:05. No stress! Good grief, I need a drink... just thinking about this is giving me more stress. On the plus, if I make it they are scheduling interviews for the week of March 28th -that's spring break!! Now, if I can only figure out how to get down on the 15th...
