Anyone?

This is happening (eating lunch and bumping in my car on grading day break). Thanks Arby's!

ps. I can't finish them, but yummmmy!

It was my turn to go over to the house last night and it's been a couple trying days with DD going through some kind of emotional phase. I stopped by Target first and bought myself a pint of ice cream and ate it all, guilt free, at the house. It even had *gasp* cookie dough in it. Mmmm

My confession this Friday is pretty tame. I have my handy-dandy baby clothes spreadsheet to keep track of how much of each type of clothing I have in each size for the first year. The plan was that this would help me buy what I needed and not get too much of anything. Well, I knowingly went over my 3-6 month bodysuit limit, because giraffes guys! Polka dots and giraffes, I couldn't pass it up. BUT, all of the bodysuits I've purchased have been about $1.50 a piece, so it wasn't a big splurge. I'll just have extra in case I need to toss one due to a bad blow-out, right? (I'm trying to rationalize this)

@KMD1106 What am I looking at. Are those loaded curly fries!?

They sure are! Whoever invented these is evil and genius.

I am wearing the same outfit I wore yesterday. I finally found clothes that are comfortable. I may never change again.

I think I'm about to go get chocolate covered cherries and a coke for lunch. I'll probably eat a yogurt too, but not promises.

I live in a house divided.  I'm strictly a mayo girl while DH prefers Miracle Whip.  FFFC: I think Miracle Whip is the cream of Satan.

I accidentally made my tuna sandwich with Miracle Whip today and I'm irrationally grumpy about it.

Our house too! I seriously want to gag everytime DH goes for the Miracle Whip. But lately he's been on a "mustard is healthier for you" gig so I think I may finally be able to toss the Miracle Whip.

I made M&M cookies last night, and ate some of the raw cookie dough. And it was delicious.

Oh gosh. I can not stand miracle whip, ick! I LOVE me some mayo (as in, I ate just mayo sandwiches as a kid)

starphish18

Proud member of team Miracle Whip over here. I can't stand mayo unless it's homemade.

Miracle Whip is the most disgusting condiment on earth. Team mayo ftw here

Jens_Hoes

Team mayo over here. 
What is miracle whip even? I mean I've seen it, but never used it. Is it kinda like butter  vs margarine?

eta: spelling 

KMD1106

Team Mayo for sure! DH prefers Miracle Whip. Yuck!

SKZW

@Jen_Shoes: You kind of have to try it to understand, but you know how the ads used to say "the tangy zip of Miracle Whip"? So, it's like a mayo in consistency, but is tangy, or as some would say, has "off" flavors  

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

@jen_shoes It's sweeter than mayo.

Jens_Hoes

@SKZW @NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot
 interesting. But what's the purpose? Is it healthier? Or was is it just a competitor of mayo?

nda_roxybabe

See, I dont find it tangy. I find it grossly sweet and I LOVE sweet. Mayo, mayo is tangy.

confession: Ate too many chocolate covered cherries and now don't feel great.

WombThereItIs

I got halfway through assembling the crib and now two parts aren't lining up right and I'm stuck. I plan to fake cramps and pregnancy discomfort to get my husband to finish it. 

ShadeofGreen816

I really needed to shower this morning but slept in instead... wore a little extra deodorant and a spray of perfume. Whoops. Sorry everyone!

SKZW

@jen_shoes: pretty much a competing condiment:
     Hellman's full fat mayo: 90-100 calories per Tbsp
     Miracle Whip: 45 for same
My FFFC: I'm supposed to be working but instead am looking up stupid crap (see above).
@nda_roxybabe: but still so yummy...
@WombThereItIs: good for you---no shame in that!

No, thank you to both Mayo and Miracle Whip.

My FFFC: I got the Target welcome baby bag this week. They just handed it to me no questions asked. I can't tell you how many times I've considered going to a different Target to get another one (I haven't).

Same! Heck, I could 100% go to the same Target and just get a new person.

onebadmotha

I didn't know mayo and Miracle Whip were different things....I guess that's my lame FFFC this week? 

bacorrea

@nda_roxybabe did you grow up in NC? Tomato & Duke Mayo sandwiches! I'm not a huge fan of mayo. I use it in stuff, but not like on a sandwich especially not by itself. I spent a good portion of my childhood in NC and it's never miracle whip. It's Duke's mayo, always.

lilmisscrafty-2

Yuck to Miracle Whip! DH loves the stuff because his mother loves it. His father is team mayo. I'm now interested in seeing where DD lands.

My FFFC: I've been wearing (and washing) the same maternity jeans for weeks. None of the others fit as nice.

haha, nope. Alaska mainly, but I remember eating them the few years we lived in Salt Lake. I hate tomatoes otherwise I'd be all over that. I know from my time in SC for school that Duke's is good stuff.

I only own 1 pair! I wear them every Friday and typically either 1 Saturday or Sunday.

BeachMommy2B

@ShadeofGreen816 guilty as well... nothing a little dry shampoo can't fix!! 

Team mayo all the way! 

My ffffc I've been sick and using it as an excuse to eat junk all week... I regret nothing! 

thistlenweeds

@starphish18 1.50?? Where??

starphish18

@thistlenweeds Lots of different sales. I've literally been spending most of my time at work the past couple weeks looking at baby clothes online. Most have been either 5-packs of bodysuits or other layette sets. I did a couple purchases when Kohl's had that $10 off $30 sale and Carters were also half off. I've been scouring Amazon and every once in a while will find a layette set for super cheap (like one was 2 pants and 2 bodysuits for something like 6.02). Got a few deals from Target clearance, too. Basically, if I can find a deal where I can get bodysuits for $1.50, pants for $2-2.50, sweaters for $2-$3, or pajamas for $3-$3.50, I grab em (if the pattern is ok, too). I'll see if any of my recent Amazon or Target purchases are still priced low and post them on the deals thread.

"Team Yuck" for both mayo and Miracle Whip! Apparently I wanted to marry mayonnaise when I was about four years old...

My FFFC: H is unexpectedly working late on a side project tonight, which cancels our plans of relaxing and cleaning together (desperately needed). So I'm thinking of what I can do on my own that would be fun, and even though I really, legitimately think cleaning would make me feel best/happiest, I'm sitting on my @$$ on the couch and watching Netflix and have no plans to move. Wouldn't want any resentment to build over here...

FFFC #2: Its day 12 of 16 days in a row where I have to be out of the house for 10+ hours. MH is out of town, and I'm feeling kind of cruddy (maybe getting a cold, or maybe just super run down). So, I'm totally going to eat Ben and Jerry's for dinner, watch HGTV all night, and go to bed at an unreasonably early hour. TGIF

L1C4gal

@ShadeofGreen816 That sounds like a lovely Friday night! Sorry you aren't feeling well and have been super busy.

You reminded me of my FFFC #2: The idea of eating ice cream isn't some treat or guilty pleasure for me because I eat ice cream every. single. night.

RedInLove

I don't get this "how bow now wow dow" thing going on in the FB memes lately. I'm not sure if this is a sign that I need to watch more tv, be less old, or what. I also don't know if I even want to know what it is. 

Jens_Hoes

@RedInLove it's from Dr. Phil. There was a teenage girl on who was being a twat flea and she said "catch me outside how bout dat" but she had this "street accent" where it sounded ridiculous.

Hence the meme:

@Jen_Shoes miracle whip is the mayo of Minnesota (and North Dakota, like the north part of Iowa, and maybe Wisconsin) and it's AWESOME. It's pretty much mayo with a little sugar and cayenne pepper in it. On that note, my confession: I do like mayo over miracle whip on my sandwiches. BUT THAT'S IT.

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

@L1C4gal Me too. I have ice cream almost every single night. I'm supposed to be taking it easy because I had GD last time and barely passed my early test this time. I feel so guilty!

L1C4gal

@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot I feel guilty too! My weight gain has been normal but I have a family history of GD, so who knows. Every night I think, "well maybe I shouldn't," but then I just...do. H bakes cookies every night so I'd be lonely without a delicious vice of my own!
