Here are some halloween funnies!
Why can’t the boy ghost make babies?
Happy Halloween!
Why do demons and ghouls hang out together?
Because a demon is a ghouls best friend!
Why did the ghost go into the bar?
For the boos!
Why didn’t the skeleton dance at the party?
Because he had no body to dance with!
Why couldn’t Dracula’s wife get to sleep?
Because of his coffin!
Both are now my nemesis. Whoever I bench gets more points than the QB I played, other than the one time they tied in points and when I had to play Schaub because Hasselbeck had a bye. Last week, I was torn on which QB to play because they were playing each other. All of the facts led to Hasselbeck: coming off a bye, playing at home, Schaub doesn’t have an offensive team with Johnson out, and so on. So, I went with the facts simply because my gut hasn’t won me anything. Plus, Matthew Berry said that Hasselbeck was the one to go with. I lost. The frustrating part was that I lost the week against the #2 team, who I could have beat, because she couldn’t play Tom Brady (bye). See the history below. I’m going to stick with Schaub the rest of the season.
PS: Just to note, I love the Texans and cheer them on to win in the real NFL.
| Week | Schaub | Hasselbeck | I played |
| 1 | 10 | 17 | Schaub |
| 2 | 17 | 17 | Schaub |
| 3 | 25 | 18 | Hasselbeck |
| 4 | 9 | 19 | Schaub |
| 5 | 22 | 13 | Hasselbeck |
| 6 | 12 | Bye | Schaub |
| 7 | 19 | 6 | Hasselbeck |
Jacob and I have talked about where we would want to live when we sell our house. There are some fun areas popping up in Austin but downtown Austin seems to be the place that we keep coming back to. I worry though if my version of “sex in the city” would turn out to really be “married without sex in the city.” Plus, would I really enjoy the area considering that you’re missing out on a yard (we have two dogs), sharing walls with neighbors, and do I really want to spend more money to live in a smaller space? If we choose to live downtown, we need to rent first to experience the life and determine if it’s really for us.
I went to www.vacancy.com to look at spaces available downtown and the apartment that I love the most is 300 N. Lamar. Yes, it’s the name of the complex as well as the address. Maybe the developers were lazy but it seems to be convenient for those who live there. It’s located right at Lamar and 1st St, next to Town Lake and the trails, Whole Foods, and my favorite, West Elm!! And it’s super close to all the popular bars we go to and restaurants we love. You don’t even really notice it’s there unless you’re looking for it so it blends in right with the scenery.
300 N Lamar has a the usual amenities with a pool, spa, exercise room, and club house. They also have covered parking and an elevator. Perfect! I don’t need anything fancy but I do like the extras. It would also be the most fantabulous spot to watch the 4th of July fireworks and an easy walk to Auditorium Shores for the festivals and SXSW shows.
Take a look at it here because you may be coming to visit us there soon!
It’s been a while since I’ve had a blog entry but I’ve been busy. You know, the usual happens like work, school, birthdays, and OB/Gyn conferences. Every now and then I get blessed to attend the many conferences my company has to attend throughout the state. Most of them are fun. I’ve met so many people over the 11 years I’ve been in this industry that you usually see someone you know. And if not, you’ll always meet someone new. This conference though was special. About 300 OB/Gyns all together in one area talking about the changing medical environment and vulvas. I mean, you can’t get more detailed about this. Well, you can, but it’s not polite to put it in writing.
So, two things have happened here at this convention. First, we have to sit across from this:
Weird?
Yep, it’s pretty crazy. Shaunna (co-worker) didn’t even realize it was there until I asked if we were going to have to stare at that vagina all day. And, Jacob commented that it looked like a gas pump. (In case you’re wondering, the device does an ablation of the uterus to remove the lining and basically stop periods. It’s what many women are turning to avoid having a hysterectomy in their pre-menopausal state.)
Another incident that happened at this convention was when I misspoke about my skirt. If you look at the the picture above again you will see that the table has a table cloth and skirt underneath it. All of our display tables look like this. A sweet, old (70ish) man said that he was looking for a trash can. I said, “Hear, give your trash to me and I’ll put it under my skirt.” As the words came out of my mouth I remembered I was also wearing a skirt that day. The man turned and looked at me and said, “Excuse me?” I quickly apologized stating that I meant my table skirt, not my actual skirt. He just looked at me said, “Honey? Hearing things like that is just a normal days work in an OB’s world.”
HAHAHAHA!!
Tuesday I bought two presents for Christmas. I know, it’s early. It was one of those deals that don’t come around all the time so I leapt at the chance to get it. That evening I told Jacob that I bought some presents already and while he tried to guess what it was, I told him that I didn’t want him spending very much on me this year like he did last year. He asked me if I even remembered what he got me last year. (He knows I have a memory loss issue.)
“Yes, the ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ poster, the black diamond ring I wanted from Jared’s, and cash.”
So, then he was trying to remember what I got him. “Binoculars!”
This got us started on what other presents we had given each other and neither of us can remember what we gave/received from each other for our birthdays last year. I know he gave me flowers, cupcakes, and a present but can’t remember what the present was. I can’t remember what I got him for his birthday either. But, even he can’t remember what the gifts were. Why is this? Is it part of my memory loss or is it really necessary to spend money on each other when the reason we don’t remember it is because we don’t appreciate it?
I worked with a friend who said she and her husband don’t exchange Christmas gifts and they put all their money towards the kids. Well, I get that, but don’t you need to show some thought towards your spouse, or significant other. At least give a card?? I don’t think I could ever not give a gift for Jacob. Well that was until our anniversary came around and I got us two pictures to hang up and he bought me a super nice watch. Still need to look into that one.
Anywho, just wanted to share that thought on if presents were really important if we already show that we love each other and we’re the only things we need in life. And that goes for family and friends, too.
So, I ended up returning the suit I bought from The Limited last week. The pants were weird and I already had a jacket the same color as the one I bought. I went back to the store yesterday during lunch to see if I could find something different. The pants just aren’t meant for women with full hips and in, probably what they would consider, plus sizes. They’re tight up top and flare too much at the feet. The guy who helped me out was very nice and helpful but when I actually did the return, the manager did the transaction. I was pretty sure this woman also helped me and rang me up last week. This time, she didn’t acknowledge me, didn’t ask me what was wrong with the suit, AND when she gave me back my new receipt she took away the four $25 coupons I originally received. I should have taken them off the receipt but I’m in the “do good” mood. She didn’t say anything about it, didn’t tell me why. I guess she didn’t want confrontation. Unfortunately for her, I have a blog.
If you go to the Barton Creek Limited, be aware of the customer service. It’s good and gets the job done, but I don’t really want to go back anytime soon…even if I still had the coupons.
Jacob: “It’s always better than coffee.”
Me: “What? Sex?”
Jacob: “Yeah! When is coffee better than sex?”
Me: “When coffee is real good.”
DUH! Non-coffee drinkers just don’t even know what they’re missing.
