I'm here! I've got a half hour left of my shift and am hard at work adding to the library's "lab lit" Pinterest board, but I'll be popping in here while I'm at it! :-)
I should have bought ice cream today, now I want to make a float. We have cream soda in the fridge that is going to go flat if I don't make a float today or tomorrow.
We got home from camp today and the beast was horrible to put to bed (once again). I think my baby is broken. I need wine.
True story: I found a pack of mix cds (the music kind, not the diapers) from high school. It was a great flashback. I spent my day listing to them. I was impressed with how many I remember all the words and seriously judging my music choices back then
I'll probably be in and out, like always. I have nothing worthwhile to contribute though. DD has been a monster and I'm just kinda worn out, wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Raising a toddler is no joke.
PCOS with long, irregular cycles First round of Clomid in May 2012= BFP #1, DD born January 2013 BFP #2 in January 2014, DS born September 2014
Confession: I wasn't allowed to listen to the Spice Girls. I pretend I know what's going on when people reference them (I know who they are, obviously), but I feel so left out.
There's a lot of 90's and early 2000's stuff I missed because of a sheltering family, too. Spice Girls is one of them, though I had a little exposure to them at dance classes. Mostly just that one song.

I am right there with you, sister. I've been thinking the same thing recently. Geez.
I just worked out and now I'm ready to figure out dinner and drink some $3 wine. If Cute Dad isn't busy, I am going to attempt an actual phone conversation with him tonight and I am nervous.
Here I am being awesome at BSB. My shirt said 'I'd show you the shape of my heart...' on the front and 'but it's just not the same without Kevin' on the back.
Speaking of the 90s, there is not enough money in the world to make me go back and relive high school. Just, no. I wasn't bullied or anything. I just hated to social hierarcy. College, however....that would be a fun do-over.
I love the flashbacks....on the surface i was too cool for boy bands and spice girls. Secretly I loved them. Definitely owned BOTH spice girls CDs and all saw the movie.
not 90s (well not late) does anyone remember The Rocky Horror Picture show? I loved that

And because I last dated in the 90's, this is so foreign to me.;-) In order to talk to guys, I had to call them when I thought they'd be home. No cellies to call or text.
Well, I talked to plenty of boyfriends on the phone in high school, but most communication in my adult relationships has been via text/email/some kind of messenger. So, this is like, kind of a big deal. If I don't chicken out lol
College was the best time of LYFE. High school was pretty good too. But, college. I went crazy and it was incredible. I have a lifetime full of stories just from the college years. I frequently get pissed that I graduated on time. WHY DIDN'T I TAKE A FIFTH YEAR FRAT LAP?!?

DH was in college for 6 years because he partied so hard... I pretend to disapprove but it really gets me all hot and bothered to think about his kegs and house parties . I would have been a freshman during his sixth year and he already told me he wouldn't have let me into his parties because he got enough sense to at least pretend to check IDs by then, but he admitted he still would have "hit it later"- such the romantic
I seriously am amazed at how much time I had to myself in college. Like honestly, what the hell did I do all day and night? Whatever I wanted. All the time. With whoever. Livin' the dream.
lol it was one of my Parenting friends' idea. She might have been kidding, but I took it seriously.
Um, ok. So, he majored in psychology, and I want to ask him stuff about that since I have some amateur interest. What his favorite areas of study were, etc. That might be fruitful.
I might have to fall back on Marvel/DC discussion though. He's a big, adorable comic book geek and that should be a safe bet… I hope.
This conversation is making me miss college so much you guys. Living with my best friends, AND DH lived either across the hall or a couple buildings away from me (or one notable semester, across campus with my ex-BF) at any given time? And all-you-can-eat late night dining? So good.
When DH and I first started dating we lived 90 minutes apart. So there was a lot of talking on the phone. We would be up for hours. Once we stayed up until 3 a.m. talking and then I had to be up for school at 6. That day brought a lot of coffee.
Ironically, we just sat next to each other in bed for the last 90 minutes and didn't say anything to each other hahahaha. But we boned earlier, so it's just satisfied silence lol.
Ya'll I have one month left of my 20s....and they weren't nearly as fun as I thought they would be
some years were good and some were bad. But the 30's are pretty sweet so far!
Agreed! I'm 31. I still feel young and (usually) energetic, but more confident and competent than I did during most I my 20's. Sometimes I even feel like a real grownup!
In my defense, I was on the couch timing contractions and thinking I probably should message l make childcare plans. But alas, still pregnant and no more contractions — after 6 hours of steady, stupid contractions 4 minutes apart.
I was totally a loner in college. I was sad. I didn't party, I didn't have friends. Then I met dh and he became my world until we split. I took many years off and graduated with my bachelors pregnant and my masters pregnant.

This makes me sad on your behalf.
I was out of my element. The first time I started college I was 16 and doing it for double credit. Then I moved to a new state and the school wouldn't accept my college credits for highschool so I went back to HS and graduated at 19. So when I went back for "freshman year 2.0" I was 19/20 with a 17 year old roommate. Those 3 years were MASSIVE in differences. I just didn't fit in.
To be honest, I found college boring. I started my degree in music and got bullied into taking all required intro classes that I HAD BEEN TEACHING FOR YEARS. It was awful... Lol!
