Caffeine, Cookies, and Kate


It's been quite the week at the Angry House. We had our theme park week. Angry Husband helped my crazy aunt move. I came down with a slight kidney/bladder infection. I worked. And it was HOT! Seriously hot!

My mind has not been good lately. I have my hands in too many cookie jars, and I'm trying to piece it all together. I need to really cut down on some of it. But the worse part of my summer is coming to an end. You see, I've been working the swing shift at work. What is the swing shift? For me, it's Friday through Monday, from 4pm to 2:30am. Blah! Do you think I go to bed when I go home? Do I eat properly? Do I work out? NO! I have sacrificed everything the past four months. I realized this last Fall, when I worked the swing shift last time. My workouts completely stopped, and I drank way too much caffeine. So alas, tonight is my last night shift, and I'm squeeing with happiness. I get to have dinner at a normal time, sleep at a normal time, and hopefully I won't be as grumpy.

I'm going to try and organize my life back this week. Hopefully, I can. Our house is a DISASTER zone, I have random bags filled with paperwork that I need to go through. And I need to purge Angry Toddler's closet. I think our trash can is going to be very very full.

So I went to the grocery store earlier today with Angry Husband. This is what I bought, the newest People magazine, a Monster, and Lofthouse Cookies. These are probably the only store bought non-bakery/non-homemade cookies that I will eat. They are FABULOUS!!! Oh, and I got the magazine, because yes, I'm following the drama! It's like a trainwreck that I cannot stop watching!

So hopefully, in the next week or so, I can get back to being normal. Plus we have no swim lesson for two weeks. That makes a big difference in trying to get things done around here!

Welcome New Readers

I'm sure that there are a lot of you just reading my blog for the very first time. I met hundreds of people last weekend at BlogHer. I've made some many new friends. But alas I got home at 10pm on Sunday night.

I got reaquainted with my husband today, unpacked my crap, ate some breakfast and left for work. I want to tell my story of BlogHer. It's a good story. Because it involves swag, naked people, running, and Legos.

But...

I'm at work tonight. Yes, this idiot named Julie forgot to take the night off. I was trying to text my co-workers last night to work for me. But they were all busy. So here I am, sitting in the navy blue uniform. trying to re-adjust to working for "the man" while thinking of the "perfect recap post".

but...for now...enjoy some pictures taken today...


PANCAKES. Didn't I just talk about pancakes in my last post? But, seriously, these were from the Original Pancake House in Orange. My lovely friend, Suz, told me that I NEEEEEEED to go there. I decided that today was the day!

and Monster Energy Drinks!!! I only had one in Chicago. Maybe that's why I was cranky? Seriously, I needed my Monsters. No, these weren't all for me. That blue one was for Angry Husband. He's such a whimp with the Lo-Carb one. I found a store that sold Monsters on Friday, but that was on the way back from running. Yes, I ran to find a Monster. I think there is a shortage of Monsters in Chi-Town!



hopefully, my OCD will take over tomorrow.. I will be able to run, meet a friend for breakfast, do laundry, Tweet, and get my damn BlogHer post done!!
