Can’t stand the excitement

I would update my blog more, but the only interesting story I can bring the fire circle is one about getting into the shower after a good workout on Monday still wearing my sports bra. And it took me a second to figure out what didn’t feel quite right.
Other things of note:
- I’m still car shopping but if Monday’s excursion to three dealerships is any indication, it’s going to be a loooong process. Two salesmen tried to sell me OTHER things - one on the idea of buying a house (which, if I am this indecisive about buying a $20,000 car, can you imagine what it’ll be like when I buy a $150,000 home?) and the other made a valiant pitch for his friend’s restaurant. The third salesman wasn’t even really a salesman but an intern. Gee, I wonder why the auto industry is struggling.
- A woman who works for another company on my floor asked me in the bathroom if I’d had my baby yet. Um… no. Also? Ouch. We’ll just blame it on confusing me with my two recently postpartum coworkers.
- Last night a group of us met at a friend’s condo in Center City Philadelphia. By the end of the evening the friend had 10-plus women coveting her amazing home which was not only an ultra-modern recently converted warehouse but was stylishly decorated and had amazing views of the city. To say it was beautiful is an understatement. What’s not beautiful is that her monthly rent is more than my bring home pay.
- BlogHer rejected me as a volunteer for the upcoming conference. Is anyone going this year? I’m thinking about it if I can find a roommate.
I hope your weeks have been more exciting than mine…

It must be sports bra insanity week–I accidentally tossed mine in the dryer (eek).
Good luck with the car shopping. My sister’s so annoyed with her experience the last couple weeks that she’s putting it on hold for a bit.
P.S. I get mistaken identity stuff at least once every six months, but that’s a bit outrageous what happened to you. Get that person some coffee or an eye exam.
