First of all, I was contacted by CSN Stores, as they are doing a promotional giveaway. They are in the habit of giving things away to certain bloggers in exchange for a review on their site, and perhaps on the blog itself. One might think it's too good to be true, but I personally know one blogger who has gotten free things from them at least twice!
As for what they sell, it could be anything from a pair of fuzzy slippers, to a cute pair of heels, to a nifty drop leaf table. Anyway, I have $65 worth of credit on their site, so we'll see what thing(s) I can purchase!
In other news, I may have met my first stalker here in Tucson. I certainly hope not, but wow did I have a few incidents in Michigan with stalkers! I was pulling the wagon to pick up Skylar and Savannah at Savannah's school (the bus drops Skylar off there rather than at our home, since there is the little matter of me not being able to be in two places at once), and I saw a tan SUV or van drive past me and honk. I know the signs, and as a born paranoid, I always have a good eye for people "homing in" on me. Nevertheless, I continued pulling my wagon down the sidewalk as usual. The van turned around (it's a divided road), and a man inside waved at me as he passed again. I just looked at him and kept walking. But I knew he'd soon be back on my side and pulling over near me, to try to talk to me. Yup.
He pulled into a parking lot I was then approaching (bad timing on my part), and stopped a few yards past me. I saw an older man (sixties, at least) looking through a book of some kind. He looked to be of latin descent, so I thought at first it was his Spanish to English dictionary. No, he was getting a business card. He said, "I'm a handyman. Are you picking up your kids?" I nodded and he then gave me his card. I told him, "I don't need any work done." Then he was asking me out for a cup of coffee. I told him that I have someone, and he said it would just be as friends. He seemed nice and not at all creepy (though he probably is!), so I felt like I shouldn't be rude to him or anything. I told him something like, "I can't, I have to go get my kids." So he told me to call him whenever I was free. I continued on my way and threw the card in the nearest trashcan. In retrospect, maybe I should've kept it, just in case I need to report any future stalking behavior. I made sure he didn't follow me to the school, or back home. And now I keep an eye out for a tan SUV.
It's weird, I thought I had been looking pretty good over the last few days, but I can't put a finger on what looks better. I haven't lost any weight, but my waist dips in kinda nice right now. Maybe the extra pounds are from some definition. That's what Nikki said. Muscle weighs more than fat. So unless this was a coincidence, I guess I can consider this proof. Someone else was honking and waving at me the other day as well. They did the turn around trick also, but didn't pull over to me... thank goodness!
What else? Oh yeah! In a previous post, I wrote about one of our rats having babies. There was eight of them. As soon as we found out, Nikki separated the female from the male rat. I guess we were too late. A few days ago, she had more! Thirteen more! Ahhhhh! What to do with all these rats? We don't really trust people, especially kids, to take care of them. I think they may be safer if just let free. Rats are such hardy creatures, after all.
I've been feeling a tad weak and vulnerable lately. I think I need to be in therapy again. I've been holding off since none of the GID specialized therapists here take my insurance. I guess I'll have to go for a "regular" therapist like I did in Michigan. Oh well. It's better than nothing at all, I suppose. I just wonder how I'll fit therapy sessions into this busy schedule of mine.
Oh, one last thing. I came across this image on my travels amongst the interwebs. I wonder how many women have more than one vagina? Here I am, just struggling to get one of them!
