I'm watching something right now that's talking about the Grammy's. 

I really don't care about the Grammy's. Or really most award shows. 

Also: I go back and forth on whether or not I watch TOO much TV, or whether or not there IS such a thing as too much TV. 

RunBooRun

I've never seen American Idol.

I've never seen Downton Abby. All the girls in the circle of friends that DH and I share watch it and obsess over it. I don't see the hype or appeal of it.

I leave for work in the mornings before DH and if he has decided to make the bed I usually remake it my way when I get home. God love him, he does try, I am just picky about the neatness of the bed.

Inspired from last Friday. My husband and I have lived together for 3 1/2 years and we have never seen each other use the bathroom. Everyone judges me over it and I don't understand.

Technically, I'm drinking beer at 8:45am.

Is this Unpopular Opinions or Confessions, people?

I guess I forgot to include that my confession is I think it is stupid (Downton Abby) but I see that maybe my previous post wasn't a real confession.

My other confession is I keep in touch with my ex bc hearing his woes and how bad his life is makes me feel better that I dodged that bullet.

Ditto. I'll pee if he's in the shower, but that's about it. Some things can and should remain private, yo.

Schools and government entities have either closed completely today or have delayed opening, including the college I work at... Because it is freezing outside and some roads are a little icy. Gotta love the south! So currently I'm in bed under a heated blanket hoping that my school decides to close all day instead of opening at 10 so I can be lazy all day! We had Monday off too.

ETA: aw crap. They just posted that they are only closed til 10, not all day. Guess I will have to get up in a little while after all.

I shave my arms every single day.

I used to get made fun of so much because of my thick hair on my arms and legs as a little girl. Planning on laser down the road (I've already had my upper lip and underarms done) but for now this is it.

My sister shaves her arms too. When I was younger I was blonde, and although the rest of my hair is now a dark brown, my arm hair stayed very light. She's always had darker hair and skin, and unfortunately her arm hair is course. 

I am DEFINITELY considering getting my underarms lasered. I ALWAYS forget to shave them and I normally notice too late. They are never braid worthy or anything but once every week or two is clearly not often enough. How was your laser experience? Was it crazy expensive?

It was awesome. I have 2 more to go and I think I have touched a razor maybe once in the past 3-4 weeks to it (it's not all completely gone til your last treatment). It was around $1800 for both upper lip and underarms.

I have been on these boards for 5 years and didn't know  what FX, AW or RE meant until this morning, (my lazy butt finally opened the newbie blog for the first time).  I thought FX was "Effects"-(which is ridiculously stupid-why the hell would anyone say that???), AW meant "attention whore" and RE I knew had to be "Reproductive Expert"-(easier to spell, right?!?!).

This entire time I thought people on this board were spelling it wrong, I thought it was "Downtown Abby". I was wondering why everyone kept forgetting the "w". I've never seen it either.

Wow, daily bed making is impressive. I have probably, in all 31 years of my life, only made the bed when people are coming over.

Inspired by last weeks UO(I think it was last week). This is my daughter I love these head bands!

Ps I love that onesie

I like the sound of a heated blanket!!  DH and I use a hair dryer to warm up the sheets before we jump in bed.  (not safe)

Hrm...  I'll have to see if I can get one on Amazon.  (They aren't really sold down here)


They definitely have them on amazon, but they aren't sold here either unless it's Christmas time lol, which is when we got ours from Walmart. (We are on the Gulf Coast, our weather is a lot like yours in FL!)

I'm having my first full bikini wax tomorrow and I'm very anxious about it.

I've done the "Sides" wax a couple of times and it was ok though.

I have had it all waxed off a few times and I love it. I didn't think it hurt at all. It was so smooth for weeks! I wish I could get it done all the time.

I'm about to make brownies just so I can eat a bunch of batter.

Yesterday I was working from home so all I put on was shorts and a t-shirt. I went to get the mail and even though it was 20 degrees outside, I was too lazy to change clothes. I walked out to the mailbox in shorts, t-shirt, Uggs, and a jacket. The construction workers across the street from my house looked at me like I was nuts. They were bundled up head to toe.

My husband and I have been together for 7 years (Lived together for 5 years, married for 2.5 years) and we're in the same boat. I don't even intentionally fart in front of him.

I don't know if this is a confession, but I've never heard my husband swear. Once I got super drunk and offered him 50 dollars to say "fuck" but he wouldn't do it.

My husband and I have also been together for almost 7 years, lived together for 5, and married for just under 3 years and I have never intentionally farted in front of him (this was my FFFC last week) and I never let him know when I go poop.  I usually wait until he is preoccupied doing something else and I quickly do my business. 

ETA  Husband has no problem farting wherever and whenever and can clear a room easily.  He thinks I have a colon of steel because we can eat the same thing and I will be totally fine but he will be farting non-stop or on the toilet with fire poops. 

-----------
Yes we are working on the farting department. I never fart in front of him, he has no problem farting on and around me constantly. A few farts once in a while are fine but a steady stream coming from his ass is such a turn off! Gross man, gross.

I pee in the shower

ETA oh come on! Someone else already said they do this. I thought I was gross. Maybe I am gross. But now I'm not the only one. I thought I finally had a confession

Another vote for the heated mattress pad!

I have been saving my confession all week for today:
Next week, I have scheduled to meet with a dr's office manager.  Not because I want to see the dr, but because he has 3 small fertility statues from Vietnam that I want to touch.  My pediatrician friend called this weekend to tell me about all of these new patients who claim they got pregnant after touching the statues.  She's friends with the OM, so she called her to get the scoop.  The OM says that every woman who has touched the statues since the dr brought them back 2 years ago has gotten pregnant within 6 weeks.

My rational self says that this is total bullshit.  My TTC brain says that I've wasted half a lunch hour in worse ways and it doesn't hurt to try.

You people and your cookie dough.

I've been dying for some but I keep reminding myself that I cut the amount of sugar I eat years ago and I don't want to fall off the wagon.

BROWNIE BATTER. It's better than cookie dough

I don't have/eat a bunch of sugar, so that's my way of making it OK.  I prefer the batter over the finished product.

Yeah I am ridiculous when it comes to my bed, I hate it being messy, even when I am in it. I sometimes get up in the middle of the night to fix the blankets!

Now that I am admitting this to everyone, I feel as crazy as my husband tells me I am!!

I think it technically means "attention wanted" but I always read it as attention whore.

Maybe that's the "PC" thing the Bump tells us but as long as I've been here it's always been "attention whore".

I always read it as whore, but it says wanted in the dictionary. They say f*ck and everything on the acronym list so I assumed whore would be ok to list too???

musicalmommy3

I am tossing and turning on what to give up for lent.  Tim Hortons or booze.  My confession is that even though I drink wine like its my job, I could never give up timmy's.  So I guess I'm going to be giving up booze!

Also I sometimes put the drier on twice, even three times, especially when people are over.  Makes me look like I am doing something.

As long as we're on the subject of showers..

I never shower.  I don't take anything but baths.

I hate baths! All I can think about is bathing in your own filth. Soaking in everything you are trying to wash off. Something I have never been able to get past. 

I love baths, but I'm with @englandxo on this one.  I soak in the tub, then shower.

Another confession- I felt bad about being snarky yesterday on that "positive test" post but then didn't, really. I'm sick of the passive aggressive "I don't really recognize a lot of BFP posts lately" comments but then when someone who's pretty much a stranger to the board posts it and gets called out she's white knighted. I don't think recognizing a siggy from the few times someone's posted in the last few weeks = active enough to create the AWish BFP post.

As far as I'm concerned, if you don't know what a typical BFP post looks like or admit that you aren't even active, the BFP post is extremely unnecessary, and snarkiness is okay. Especially with the shitty "it was SOOO hard to conceive this time zomg" comment. I've only been here 8 months so maybe I'm not allowed to have that opinion but here it is.

Also I totally think Salsera and meggowaffles could've gotten away with making a BFP post.

Salsera and meggowaffles are pregnant?  I would totally have given a congratulations with multiple exclamation points to both of them!

Squatting and peeing in the shower is really good for your pelvic floor.
Signed,
Someone who pees every time she sneezes.


I just pee standing up. As soon as hot water hits me I have to pee really bad and figure it'll wash down the drain and off my body anyway, so whatever. I also realize I could just pee before getting in the shower, but I'm lazy I guess. Gross, party of me.

I brush  my teeth in the shower also.

I absolutely cannot stand my co-worker... he's whiny, judgmental, self centered, hates me, and not good looking either. But last night I had the craziest, steamiest dream that we were having an affair- except when the time came he couldn't get it up. It's really awkward today and he has no reason why.

janda426

@mmb248 yeah, Salsera is like 14 weeks or something! When I saw her at the GTG I didn't even know she was pregnant. I squeed for her IRL.

WinningColors

It has never occurred to me to pee in the shower. But I can't even pee in a lake, so there's that. My bladder is trained to pee in the toilet and no where else.

Quoting is being really fucked right now, so I can't quote LR but I've been wanting to get a snizz wax forever. The girl that does the waxing at the salon where I get my hair done is also my hairdresser so I really don't want her to see my junk. That's probably weird and she probably doesn't give a shit, but it's a small salon in a tiny little neighborhood and I'm chubby so I am already self conscious about my various jiggles. I'll probably end up going somewhere I will never go again.

I know I will be beet red during the entire time, and I dread the "Ok now let's put you on all four" moment

Brittany Gibbons at brittanyherself.com has a detailed description of her experience getting waxed, along with a video (not graphic) of her first time.  I thought it was very informative.
