Well the one bright spot right now is that I have one 4 of 4 rounds of Dietbet - winnings are about $90 so far. I just need $25 more to recoup my initial bet, then the rest is gravy. 
I have lost about 26lbs from my initial weigh in. Nobody seems to have noticed yet, but I can tell a difference in how my clothes fit.
For larger people like me, it seems like it takes a loss of more like 50 lbs or more for anyone to venture to guess ... are you losing weight?
Work ... ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. I don't know if interviewing is really a good thing or not ... it gives me hope of getting out of there for something better .. so I start getting irritated even more by stupid things.
I thought I was to hear back about the job by yesterday. The fact that I haven't makes me feel like its probably a no. 
I hope I at least get the courtesy of an email.

DH found a leaf blower he wanted on the Sears website Thursday. So on our way to dinner we stopped by. The in store price was more. I couldn't pull up the online price on my phone. DH was really irritated and didn't want to bother talking to anyone.
Friday I found the offer he'd found and took screenshots and printed them out. Then after work and making the bank deposit I stopped at Sears. I told a sales person what I was looking for and asked him if he could honor the online price. He cheerfully said he could - then thanked me for being pleasant. He'd apparently had a lot of unhappy people to deal with that day.
I told him I could relate ...
So .. the leaf blower in store price was $59.95. Online price was $47.95. I had $7.03 in Shop Your Way points - walked out with it for just under $43.
My DH was quite happy when he came out to the kitchen on his way to work to see I'd gotten it.

I did call my mom for Mother's Day. It went fairly well. I bit my tongue hard when she told me she and paramour had both sold their cars and bought one new one. I badly wanted to ask if her name was on the title ... If she does ever decide to leave this guy *for real* she's kind of painted herself into a corner. Sigh. She's an adult.

I started a new money making website - Earnably. Pretty good so far.

Almost forgot! On Wednesday DH and I bought a ladder from Menards. DH started cleaning our gutters by standing on the third rung of the ladder and moving the ladder constantly. After about twenty minutes of me watching him do this, I offered to get up on the roof and finish the job.
Ii have no fear of heights, while DH does. It was my first time on a roof - and it was a little nerve wracking. But I got used to it quickly. It was actually quite fun ... until I had to get OFF the roof.
DH held the ladder tightly for me and talked me down. Whew! Now our gutters are clean!
Won Round 4 Dietbet! etc

VS - I have nothing against a stable and established couple going to one car. Mom and paramour are anything but stable or established. She has no savings to speak of except some she refuses to use because she wants to "leave it to you kids"

Sorry about your mom being silly. Some folks might be legal age, but certainly not always an adult.
I'm sure DH appreciated your help with the gutter cleaning even if he had to talk to you down. I'm the same way...I can get up there, but getting down the fear kicks in . And I AM afraid of heights.
