@emwj10187 how dare you insert a random in randoms!

@emwj10187 this is how I feel about my entire house right now. We had a yard sale last week, so that helped a little, but it's going to take about a dozen more and a lot of trash bags before I am finally happy with this house lol

natleilynn

@emwj10187 we're having a yard sale on Saturday. So yeah. That's pretty much been my strategy - everything goes because I don't want to deal with it anymore. It's dangerous because I keep getting rid of clothes. Hope someone wants to get me lots of clothes for Christmas this year, otherwise it's maternity clothes 4evah.

In case everyone is on the edge of their seats, I went with Panera for lunch today. I got the turkey bacon bravo but subbed chicken for turkey (I mean, I'm pretty whatevs on the whole listeria thing but considering I'm on antibiotics right now and I'm having sushi for dinner on Friday, I figure I should try to follow the rules at least once a week) and added avocado. And took out the tomato and lettuce. And change the bread because the cheese bread is da bomb.com.

Now to stalk the tracking until it's right outside our office. Guess I'll munch on the gumballs and peanut butter m&m's until they get here. 

sjohns908

Tracking?? Your Panera delivers?? 

natleilynn

@sjohns908 oh yes. And I can follow their little car from their store to the front of my office building. I mean, it's legit like one mile away from my office. But let's just say I know when they stop at another office building to deliver first. 

I know.

emwj10187

@carries2018 yeah i knew i was pushing it but i had to post somewhere 

sjohns908

@natleilynn and here I thought we were lucky to get one with a drive thru

natleilynn

@sjohns908 well, we don't have a drive thru, so you are lucky! 

I'm just lazy and don't want to leave the comfort of my chair today so my options are limited. Nobody at work is going out. The sushi place can take like 2 hours to delivery. I'm not a fan of Jimmy John's. I think that's pretty much it. We're currently working on a spreadsheet of area restaurant locations to allow for better and more efficient lunch decisions.

sjohns908

@natleilynn stop it. A spreadsheet? Amazing. I'm super lazy and just don't leave my house so my lunch options are insanely limited too  also, +1 to not liking Jimmy John's. The only Chinese place that delivers around here is gross. Basically, my only option is pizza unless I want to wait up to 2 hours for a sandwich from the deli up the street to be delivered by a delivery company

natleilynn

@sjohns908 PIZZA! Must add that to the spreadsheet.

If I'm at home, I don't leave for anything. I have tons of options at work if I'd just get in my car and go. I'm across the interstate from a mall, so all your typical staples. But nope. That's not how I roll. I'm sitting.

But for now....I wait....

natleilynn

And we're off! Delivery is on its way.

They also tell me my driver's name and include a small picture of them. Isn't that nifty?

ariz17

@sjohns908 & @carries2018 Pizza sounds so good!! DH just texted me and asked how me and the baby feel about Mexican for dinner. Heck yeah! I can't wait.

I am just so hungry today. Give me more snackss.

curlyq423

It's hospital week so we got free lunch at work today. Bam!!!

natleilynn

It's heeeeeerreeeeeeeeee.

One very happy (and obviously unproductive) girl right here.

sjohns908

@ariz17 Mexican sounds so good right now too. I just really, really miss Carlos o Kelly's. Nothing else around here adds up. Mexican food in Iowa suuuuucks. 

I had so many intentions of being productive today. But it's about to storm, I'm still sitting on the couch, unshowered and you know you're not supposed to shower in storms, so I guess I *have* to continue my laziness

bluejeanbabi05

@natleilynn enjoy your food! Sounds amazing.

I started the free trial of Hulu last night to watch Handmaid. So let me get this straight: people pay $8 a month for shows....and still have to watch ads?? Wtf?

ChocolateIsLife

I just ate 3 pb&j's and I'm not even that full. I gave a piece of bread crust to the dogs so maybe that's why.

carries2018

eat my dust @bluejeanbabi05 I AM NUMBER ONE!

natleilynn

@ChocolateIsLife be careful with those PB&J's. It put me into labor with DD!

sdarling2010

@aprilsarahjune our A/S is next Tuesday and DH can't  be there either. I'm having the tech write it down and we will open it together that evening. (He's bummed he can't come but I told him to save all days off for paternity leave, so I guess it's my fault!) I'm secretly looking forword to being alone for an hour

Wow really?! Is it because they are orgasmically delicious, or is there some ingredient that I'm naive to? Ah need mah pbj's

natleilynn

@ChocolateIsLife I mean, it could've been the 3 purple sweettarts. Or the 3.5 mile walk. But those are the only three factors that were involved before my water broke. Grape Jelly. Grape Sweettarts. Could be a thing. haha

aprilsarahjune

Speaking of pbj's, DS has started asking for them for breakfast every single morning, after eating his traditional breakfast.  My kids have traditionally had fresh fruit and yogurt, where all I had to do was peel some fruit and dump some yogurt in a bowl.  For DS's breakfast round 2 of pbjs, I have to get the jelly out of the fridge, the pb out of the pantry, and the bread from its box; then get plate and knife; then build pbj; then put it all away.  Currently, I hate pbj for making tired mom work harder.  

natleilynn

DH has two pbj's for breakfast every morning.

I mean, he makes them himself so it doesn't bother me. But now DD thinks it's a legit breakfast food.

And okay, maybe sometimes now I have one for breakfast too...

sjohns908

@bluejeanbabi05 for $11 a month, Hulu is ad-free. That's what we do because I got so sick of them

@ChocolateIsLife I love pb&js, but for some reason my stomach does not. Very rarely can I eat them without getting a stomach ache 

ChocolateIsLife

@sjohns908 girl, I feel you. I'm pretty sure I have complained constantly about this on here, but pretty much every meal I eat gives me diarrhea and cramps from it. I'm just now accepting that this is how its going to be until my body adapts to no gallbladder. Do you have any gluten sensitivity? 

TallMomma29

Yesterday, my left eye would not stop twitching.  Dr. Google told me it was likely a combo of stress and tiredness.  I told DH I needed to go to bed to get sleep so I could get plenty of rest and so my eye would stop twitching, because we are planning to get up at 4am on Thursday (now tomorrow) to drive for roughly 12 hours (+stops).  So I went to bed around 10:30, and then he came in at 1:45 and basically jumped on top of me.  I couldn't fall back asleep for hours.  Now I'm sooo tired, and my eye is still twitching.  I have so many knife emojis in my head for DH right now.

Ok I'm off to take my second to last final, wish me luck! I'm such a bad test taker.

monstera13

Good luck @ChocolateIsLife

carries2018

i am really mad at you guys today. i am trying so hard not to work and it is like you all want me to with your silence.

sjohns908

@ChocolateIsLife good luck on your final!  I wouldn't say I have a gluten sensitivity as much as just a processed food sensitivity.  I did do a gluten-free stint for about two weeks a few years back and it helped with my headaches and my stomach issues. But processed food in general just makes me feel like crap.  Not that that stops me from eating all the bad stuff, because delicious lol

monstera13

@carries2018 Nooo don't work! Give in to the procrastination demons!

sdarling2010

DD just had her usual "conversation" with the baby - "hi baby! It's your big sister B! What are you doing in there? ... Mommy, why isn't the baby talking back?" Then baby started kicking around. 

all the heart eyes! 

ariz17

@carries2018 I am so bored at work! I just finished up a big project and now I don't really have much to do. So i'll probably obnoxiously comment and like everything 

natleilynn

@sdarling2010 DH and DD went on a date Saturday night because I wasn't feeling well. When they got back, she asked if I had the baby while she was gone. Ha. Nice try, darling.

carries2018

DD1 i obsessed with the baby, so when she isn't listening or giving me a hard time i say "well the baby wants to" or "the baby likes it" now she keeps telling me things bc "her tummy likes it" like the other day at a party she came up to me and was like "mommy my tummy likes it here"

OliveOyl2014

@ChocolateIsLife good luck! I'm off to take my math final! 

carries2018

my mother is the loudest grossest eater. i cant even see her from  my desk. but i hear her. and it is killing me slowly. and she takes about 45 min to eat. if you are going to eat so loud do it quickly.

PizzaMonster3

I just sat in my car (office) for an hour bumping. I never thought I'd miss my cubicle life but after a year and a half on the road I really miss it!
