no more work please. random thoughts and such.

(1) i'm tired. i can't concentrate. i want to go home and nap.


(2) today i found out that my parents are planning to retire in florida next fall. they've made this same decision about 15 times in the past few years, but i think this time might be for reals. this makes me sad.


(3) in response to this news, after being sad daughter, i  said, "don't retire until ryan and i get married! we need your money!" nice, huh?  we don't really want a "real" wedding, but we do want my parents to spend wedding money to send us to europe. i wasn't going to tell them our plans for their money until we're actually engaged, but desperate times call for desperate measures.


(4) this week i hit 10lb loss at weight watchers! woo hoo for another star!

we get gold-star sticker awards for every 5lbs we lose. we have a bookmark to put them on. seriously. totally makes me feel like a first grader. totally works. i'm damn proud of my 2 stickers!


(5) i really hope i don't come home to odin poop on the floor. it's happened twice this week! ryan is convinced odin is rebelling against our new training techniques. i think i agree.


(6) for work i am attending this big national conference on monday. all the irb bigwigs and such.  i'm actually really excited about some of the sessions--super interesting stuff. however, the conference is downtown, and i am going to be taking the bus. i have never been on a city bus. the thought terrifies me. supposedly the bus stops right in front of my apartment and about a block away from the conference site. i'm pretty sure i'll get off at the wrong place and get horribly lost and die. i don't know what will kill me, but i feel death is inevitable. 


and on that note, i go back to work.
