I would love a donut but my ass says no way! The go to donut place here is either Krispy cream or Go For Donuts.

@bennieangel - Yup.  And soy, eggs and peanuts.  It turns out Ellie's allergy was so sensitive she couldn't even handle Allimentum. I now supplement with PurAmino and haven't seen blood in her diaper since two days after starting it.  So I tried adding peanuts back in 2 days ago, and her diapers are still good.  I'll try eggs next.  My guess is I'm off all things made with dairy, whey, etc. until I'm no longer breast feeding.  Given the hit my breastmilk has taken with all these dietary changes and now going back to work on Monday, I'm crossing my fingers that's not sooner than I think.

Same here! Except we don't have a Dunkin donuts anywhere near us. But a fresh Krispy cream donut- the thought of that makes my mouth water.

I'm trying to feed B but all she's interested in doing is staring at me, grinning with my nipple in my mouth while she gently strokes my boob.

Not going to lie, it's starting to creep me out.

That's awful! She probably feels horrible.

All good. They sent someone to help her. I felt so bad. She used my phone to call her husband. He was like, "What am I supposed to do?"

Screw AAA i'd break the window!

@pepperedmoth‌ boo for yeast.

As far as books, mostly fiction with a non-fiction business or philosophical book thrown in every now and then.

For fiction I like complex story lines with in-depth character development. Usually the longer the better, as I blow through books fairly quickly.

I usually avoid any type of murder mystery and most science fiction.

pepperedmoth

Do you read classics or contemporary fiction or both? And what kind of philosophy? And a few titles you've read recently and liked?

Then I'll stop asking questions and get to the advice!

Recently I have been reading more contemporary, but would like to get more into the classics. I like Dickens and Jane Eyre. The Awakening is one of my favorite shorter stories.

Most of the philosophy I have read is in Asian studies. Shinto and Buddhist influences. But I would love to expand.

I am just finishing re-reading GOT, mainly because I watch the series and wanted to remember some of the story lines. I like the way Martin creates a world, but his character development leaves something to be desired for me.

Okay then!

For character development George Eliot's Middlemarch is the best there is. One of my all-time favorites.

If you like Charlotte Bronte you should read Jane Austen. They're all great but my favorites are Pride&Prejudice, Sense&Sensibility, and Persuasion.

My favorite Dickens is Bleak House so totally read that if you haven't.

If you like Kate Chopin (wrote the Awakening) you might also like Edith Wharton. Skip Ethan Frome and try starting with The Age of Innocence.

If you like complicated plots I might check out Umberto Eco. His most famous book, The Name of the Rose, is a murder mystery, but the intricacy of the plot might make it for you. I'm reading Foucalt's pendulum right now and like it so far.

For philosophy in general you might try Sophie's World. It's a bizarre and fictionalized overview of Western philosophy.

I mostly read Christian theology, but a book I love re: Buddhism is Thomas Merton's Mystics and Zen Masters, about the similarities between Christian mystics and, well, Zen Masters.

Finally, I heartily recommend almost anything Karen Armstrong has ever written. She is a religious historian and I know she has written on Buddhism.

Good luck!

WoodShopGirl

@pepperedmoth‌ thank you thank you!

::goes to make her B&N list::

Edited (now that I have 2 hands) to say:
I have read Jane Austen, but I don't think I read persuasion. I think I read Bleak House, but if I did it was in HS, oh so long ago. Definitely worth a re read if I did.

I have heard of Wharton but don't think I have read her. Will start there for the classics.

Will pick up Sophie's World first for the philosophical. I like the bizarre.

I was at a store today with the twins and DS1 and had a guy ask if they were all mine. Seriously?

I love colored tips. I posted these photos to show my nails but the drinks look good too.

CruiseGirl28

I stopped wearing nail polish forever ago (I can only wear gels and who has time), and my toes are disgusting. I will sleep you photo evidence.

Henry lost it in the car today (damn growth spurt) and I stopped at bru to feed him. Now I feel obligated to buy something. Clever clever

@pepperedmoth - I just fell in love with you.  Like seriously.  Head over heals.

pepperedmoth

Awwwww @coreyeliz‌ thank you! You love Dostoevsky so the feeling might be mutual. ;-)

WoodShopGirl

@addisonsmom22‌ try a nail polish brand called Vinyl Luxe. Similar result as gel with no light drying or added cost. Plus it comes off with regular nail polish remover.

I tried it for the first time a week before A was due. It lasted almost 3 weeks before I removed it. Only small chips.

ProudMommy030614

I haven't paid to have my nails done in forever. I do them myself when I have time.

Awesome! Where can you get it?

WoodShopGirl

@jennbaylor12‌ I am actually not sure, but I think you can google for places. I had mine done. It may only be available in spas but I could be wrong. It is fairly new on the market from what my manicurist told me.

Oh gotcha, okay. I misread and thought you did it yourself. Still, No extra cost is great, I always mess them up when I do it myself :-)

WoodShopGirl

Sorry, meant no extra cost over a regular manicure. Whereas the gel manicure is more expensive. Probably should have said that.

WoodShopGirl

@addisonsmom22‌ @jennbaylor12‌

I just looked and you can buy it on amazon.

It is important that you only use their top coat and not something else. According to my manicurist the top coat becomes harder with regular exposure to UV (so it gets harder over time when you are in the sun). This is what makes it last so long.
