I keep hitting the Quote link instead of the Love Tit link and it's really starting to piss me off.

@natleilynn I was doing that allll last week! So frustrating lol.

I know we had a thread a while back on vehicles, I just wanted to say that my DH and I traded my 4Runner in on a used Tahoe and y'all, if you need a family vehicle that is the way to go. It's so spacious but I don't feel like I'm driving a motor home. Just in case any of you we're still looking!

natleilynn

@tyannej I miss my 4Runner so, so much. We traded it for a Highlander. I like it, but I just don't feel as rugged as I did in my 4Runner.

I have so much cleaning and packing left to do before we leave tomorrow. To any of you ladies who travel/live in Oregon/Washington: Do you know of any amazing places that make Crab Rolls? I NEED DIS.

I live in Oregon and have never had a crab roll, are you sure it's a thing? Lol. Assuming you mean a sandwich, like a lobster roll, and not sushi? I googled it and apparently one of my favorite breweries makes them. Deschutes Brewery. I can vouch for their beer (which doesn't help, sad face) but not the actual roll. 

ChocolateIsLife

@riverrainez yeah I mean like a lobster roll. It probably isn't a thing, I was just hoping it was because it sounds really good. I'm going to check Deschutes Brewery out. Ugh a beer sounds good with some fried food right about now.

@natleilynn I keep hitting report instead of quote! 

natleilynn

@canonmom413 whoa now! We're getting into serious territory now!

canonmom413

@natleilynn right!! I had to stop myself at three times. 

riverrainez

@ChocolateIsLife You're going to the coast, right? Probably some under the radar crab places there too. Have fun! If you need any other Portland recs let me know The weather is supposed to be nice later this week.

nbcarlson

@riverrainez and @ChocolateIsLife I was like I am missing some sort of amazing crab roll thing? But I've never heard of anywhere with amazing crab rolls. There are a lot of good places on the coast but it's been so long that I don't know any of the names. I vouch for Deschutes Brewery amazingness though. 

ChocolateIsLife

Thank you @riverrainez ! Yes we are starting in Seattle/surrounding area and then going to Cannon Beach, and Portland will be the last stop. I just love everything up there.

ChocolateIsLife

@riverrainez and @nbcarlson down here in Houston we have this place called Maine-lys and they serve Lobster and Crab Rolls. OMG they are seriously heavenly. I crave them all the time, but for me and DH to each eat a roll down here would cost about $100 after chips/drink so we don't go often. I am just hoping to find lobster/crab rolls there so that I can get my fix.

I've been quickly realizing how different this vacation is going to be now that I can't drink. It's kind of a big deal when we travel that we go to the pubs and breweries...so I better find a damn lobster/crab roll to try and make up for it.

Now that the weather is warming up and the days are longer, I'm missing my porch/hammock margaritas.

I was reminded this weekend I can't drink on vacation in June. We go to myrtle beach with my family every year. Every evening we drink and play cards. Anyone heard of Euchre??? 

natleilynn

@curlyq423 MYRTLE BEACH! 

I think we're going there in June or July. I'm kind of trying to get them to hold off until next year so I can have a beverage or two...

laeberge3

@curlyq423 I have!  In HS my friends were really into Euchre so I learned the game but I hate it.  I always get asked to play at my in-laws and pass every time. 

curlyq423

@natleilynn We stay in a condo right on the beach, but it's actually in north Myrtle beach. It's usually quieter there. 

natleilynn

@curlyq423 that's what we do, too. I love eating in Calabash.

curlyq423

@natleilynn Is that a restaurant or town?

natleilynn

@curlyq423 it's a town, just over the NC line. They have lots of little restaurants on the intercoastal waterway.

carries2018

i love euchre!

curlyq423

@carries2018 We love euchre too! My parents live in NC and no one there has heard of it. 

carries2018

no one really knows about it around here either haha. but i learned from my ex boyfriend who learned in Australia i believe?

monstera13

Woo so much to catch up on! I've never had a crab roll, but it sounds delicious. And to whoever said they wear underwear to bed....whaaaattttt? I'm team No Clothes/No Underwear when sleeping! 

I started at my new external practicum today, so I'll probably be checking in less often. I'm at a probation department now and am not sure how much they monitor internet usage lol. Plus wayyy more clients.

If i went to bed naked every night , DH would get rapey every single night.

Is anyone interested in having a Breastfeeding & Pumping thread for questions, concerns, advice etc.?  Saw it on another board and I think there could be some valuable advice around here. Love tit if you want it. If there's enough interest I'll start it.

JessDG

@buttercream_frosting. YES.   sometimes I laugh at myself because I feel more worried about breastfeeding than childbirth. 

sjohns908

@buttercream_frosting I think that's a great idea. It wasn't until my 3rd baby that I successfully BF for a full year. I attribute part of that to my last BMB and their wealth of knowledge and support

curlyq423 EUCHRE!  I love me some euchre!

Morning ladies! Sorry I wasn't super active yesterday. I had my AS in the morning and midwife appointment in the afternoon so I was gone most of the day. DH finished and submitted boards yesterday afternoon! So glad that's over with. We went out to dinner to celebrate that and finding out we're team blue! 

This cold I have is making my head feel like it's going to explode. And now DH has it. Bring on the Man Cold whines. 

We dont have a ton happening today so I'll try to keep up but might be in and out trying to organize DD's old clothes/prep for garage sale this weekend/clean the house/catch zzz's when I can. 

Happy hump day!

jessafishy

Okay I'm caught up. Wait for me ladies, I will come back to you. 

jessafishy

Also, can anyone else take over the Wednesday Ticker and STM+ Check In for me today?

natleilynn

@jessafishy I gotcha!

carries2018

I forgot my purse at home. I have so much good food around me that I can't get. I'm so hungry.
