It's not too early. DD was up at five. After several attempts to get her back to sleep, she is now up with grandma while I blow dry my hair.
My UO is that I have a love/hate relationship with fall. I love some stuff about fall, but to me it really just means that winter is coming, and I hate the snow and the dark.
I was waiting for @missyishere to start this or I would've too...it's totes not too early. Some of us are in the East and have early morning meetings peeps. We need our dramz NOW.
Remind me again what's going on with missy? Am I supposed to be tagging her? @missyishere just in case.

I had this exact conversation with a coworker two days ago.I like fall itself, but I just keep thinking about the cold weather that is coming. I compared it to Sundays. I should like Sunday because it's a day off, but all day I think about the fact that the next day is Monday, so I don't enjoy it as much as Saturday. If seasons were days of the week, Spring would be Friday, Summer=Saturday, Fall=Sunday and Winter is Monday.
I feed my kid fast food. Not everyday, but also not special occasion once a year. If we are out on a Saturday I might get her a hamburger or chicken tenders, along with a healthier side if possible. I also feed regular, non organic Mac and cheese, goldfish crackers, etc and think it's a little nuts when people freak out about that stuff. Everything in moderation, right? I guess that might be more of a fffc.
I don't like the majority of perfumes that the women in south Florida seem to love. Walking into Bath & Body works makes me gag, and my coworker, whom I adore, is driving me nuts with her body spray o'death.
I'm not excited that the bump post secret is back.
Right there with you. I don't even care if I'm a buzzkill, because I never liked the first TBPS.
Neither did I. People don't like AEs because it's someone saying something they're not brave enough to say under their SN but everyone likes TBPS. I just remember lots of drama and hurt feelings and made up secrets.
We did something like this on our BmB. Everyone created AEs and confessed things about themselves. Fake or not, it was entertaining. I believe there was hurt feelings but mostly really fucked up shit.

Is that more of a rant?
come on lady! bring on the juicy political uo!
Everytime I say something political or social, I hear I bring the post down. Oh well.
I think the Arab countries need to stop blaming Israel for all their problems. Stop scapegoating that fact that you are a bunch of mysogynistic theocracies on the one democratic nation in the region, which is like the size of New Jersey. Your regimes suck, you subjugate your own people, and no one trusts you with nuclear weapons. No one's fault but your own.
Brought to you by the headlines this morning regarding Iran's so called "call for peace"/dig at the Jews.
I have lots of pumpkin smelling stuff but I also have apple cider, autumn leaves, maple brown sugar and other non pumpkin smellies. Fall ain't just about pumpkin.
This is may be somewhat flammable, bur this is UO after all, so here goes:
I think its sorta tacky and just plain stupid when women go "shopping" with their man for their engagement ring. I also think it takes most of the excitement out of the planning when she starts planning her wedding months (to almost a year) before she even gets engaged. Call me a bitch for that...but eh. It just seems kinda lame and it takes the novelty/excitement out of the whole deal, IMO.
This brought to you my one of my GFs who has half her wedding planned already, and just got engaged last week after picking out her engagement ring herself.
Man..That makes me sound like a judgy bitch. Sorry y'all. I'm sure this will be somewhat unpopular.

I think it depends on how long people have been together.
@shanado I totally agree with you on that. My GF has only been with this guy less than a year. They just moved in together and she already has half the wedding planned. But hey..to each their own right? JMO.
I agree. Then again, DH has really good taste in jewelry and knew exactly what I would want. I never pointed anything out to him, but he did a good job picking something out. I can only imagine what some men pick out.
We had most of our wedding planned before I was officially engaged. I was still excited and it was special. DH wanted to ask me on a date that had special meaning to us. We couldn't wait to start planning the wedding until then.
I also had a custom ring made. DH wasn't going to spend the money on a hunch so we went to the jeweler together.

Why would I want something on my hand for (hopefully) the rest of my life that wasn't something I was totally in love with? I didn't pick out the exact ring but tried on different cuts to see what I preferred. I let dh make the final call but I did tell him what I wanted.

Yeah. Like BK said, some men probably don't know wth their woman would want on their finger. I guess I got lucky in that I ended up loving what DH got for me when he proposed. BBut yeah, I can only imagine what some men come up with!
I agree somewhat with Mrs. T, but not so much picking the ring to be sure you like it. Women who chose the ring and the date and method of proposal and want to find out the sex of their baby ASAP and have major control over their baby and bridal showers and pick the exact version of all gifts because "they hate surprises" make me twitchy.
Something about the reason makes me want to yell at them to unclench. I realize that's judgy and ridiculous. Sorry. It's a pet peeve.
Hmm, my UO is that I really didn't care that much about my ring. My most important criteria was "not very expensive." We went together and I tried some on to see if I wanted like one stone or three or whatever. And, in the end, DH basically just picked one that was on sale. I'm pretty sure my ring would be unacceptable to a lot of people. Eh.

Also? Some people, like myself, don't really care for the hoopla that can come with engagements. I'd rather poke my eye out than have this grand proposal.
Re: UO!
I agree.

I side eye everyone who voted to leave the rat's cage open.
I like rats.
Still not sure what that is.
Everything does not need to be flavored like pumpkin in the fall.
I don't hate it and do enjoy pumpkin cookies and pancakes, but the madness needs to stop.
A rat is like a large mouse. YW
DON'T YOU DARE!
My original UO is too politically loaded to post.
I don't like the majority of perfumes that the women in south Florida seem to love. Walking into Bath & Body works makes me gag, and my coworker, whom I adore, is driving me nuts with her body spray o'death.

Exactly. Bring on the pomegranate!

Planned wedding after only a year= cray
10 years together= efficient.
Death to the Pumpkin!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow.
@BostonKisses2 thanks for the insight. That is true!

I don't see why it matters.
