Was craving a little bit of a post-gym snack, but, because I’m a single 35 year old dude, I have nothing in the house, so I improvised with what I have. Toasted a tortilla, put some butter then cinnamon and sugar on it and wrapped it up. Hot damn, that may be a game changer.

I have made my own cinnamon tortilla chips similar to this to have with a fruit salsa I make. Yum.
 
The longer it takes the more I get hopes up that he is maybe taking a different offer.

That's my thought. He could be the rare individual using a visiting prof offer to leverage someone else. He definitely didn't take it right away, and Ole Miss laid down the law with a time limit.

But most of the jobs he could be leveraging are entry-level jobs at HSBCs right now. These schools aren't swimming in cash (and I'm still waiting to hear back from 3 of them).

I'm assuming it all happens before lunch. Ole Miss still has stuff they'd have to get rolling on the paperwork side of things, and they've been clear that they aren't looking to wait.

I'm sure my deadline would be less than 2 days, but I'd only be waiting for the sentence to be finished before I say yes.

Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Corporation?

Sorry. I just made a car payment.

So @cowgirl836 I am calling your shot since it’s Friday.

Baby tomorrow morning.

My first, water broke late Friday night, baby 10 hours later.


I've already joked to DH that today must be the day. Supposed to have an appt with my Dr and I get a call at 7:30 that she's out sick and the other two who cover for her are both off today. Gotta be a sign. Then it was weird because as the receptionist was realizing that rescheduling me is messy since I should probably be seen sooner rather than later......she's like I'll talk to the nurses and call you back. Otherwise she thought it'd be Monday, to which I'm like hey that's fine with me! I decide to go into work while waiting, thinking they'd try to get me in today. Get to the parking lot and I get a call from one of the nurses wanting to know what my question is. Wait, my question? Umm no, I was waiting to hear back on the rescheduling. Yeah, and that's on Monday, what was your question? So I explain that no, I have no question, you guys were calling me back. Then she gets it and is like yeah the message she was given was completely different. But yeah, rescheduled for Monday but joked I may not be there anyway.

Meh, I'm convinced I'll be gestating for a while yet. But Murphy's Law would say it's today since apparently all the OB's I'm familiar with are away!

And I'd take 10 hours.

I was two weeks late. Didn't make much difference, I was only 10 6 at birth.
 
Key lime pie is the most underrated pie all time. It's gotta be on my Mount Rushmore of pie flavors for me and regularly competes for the number one spot.

Side note, it was my late father's favorite flavor of pie so that always makes it special for me too

Key Lime
Cherry
Apple



Cake

All other pies


Chocolate cake

also, the preggo rage is starting early today (ok, mostly exasperated laughing). Trying to scan in stuff for Dh to submit for reimbursement since I literally have nothing to do. Go to printer and it's got a note on it. Cool. I don't realize it's not taped down and open lid to scan and bye bye note. ****, now I've got to go digging behind the printer. Get that. Go to scan my stuff, realize I need a pen to circle things. Find that, do that. Put pen back and I manage to flip it behind a desk thing. Dammit. I somehow baaaaaaaaarely reach it and get it out without getting stuck. Now I'm feeling the burn :p

Scan all my stuff. Get to desk. No emails of scans. WTF, did I do it wrong??? Go back and try again. Still no emails!

Decide to check my spam. There they are! So something has changed that for the first time in eight years, emails from the printer/my email are now going to spam instead of my inbox. That's super duper. Anyway, get those sent to DH. Then I get a good laugh out of someone sending an email saying "sorry for the incontinency the delay may cause". Ok, I'm still laughing.
 
Cherry
Peach
Apple or blackberry

but cherry cheesecake goes first if we're doing all pie-ish desserts. And apple crisp after that. I should make peach pie this weekend.

Only one of five delivered by my main OB. Three by others in office I had seen before, one by emergency room guy in elevator.
