Randoms for the New Year (1/1)

Alright, I promised myself I wouldn't stay up past midnight for this and here I am. I will let those with more stamina and/or not on the east coast carry on fighting the good fight. Night ladies!

Austenista

Wow. I don’t check the board for one evening and it explodes. How long can she keep going? If she stays do we have to keep her? 

BurlapandLace

She only seems interested in staying in her thread and the one she WK’d in. So unless she somehow figures out how to wander into a relevant thread, keeping her is kind of a moot point. 

Also, her entertainment factor is no longer at a level to keep me from sleeping. Night ladies!

I'm sincerely impressed. I have no idea how to gif from my phone  (I should look it up but I'm lazy) otherwise I'd add some. 
But also, ramen is so unappealing to me right now. I'll be the odd one out lol.

Amphibious22

Oh man, my phone died a while ago and I was too lazy to get off the couch to charge it. It's now after midnight, I have work tomorrow, but I am 100% catching up on that thread right now. Kudos to you ladies for keeping the fun alive!

marcus7676

Oh my god. I went to bed in the middle of this last night and still woke up with tons of new posts. Morning entertainment!

Thank you ladies.... just thank you! 

sunshineandwhiskey

You ladies are awesome

@BurlapandLace I was just joking about her staying. It just felt like she was staying because she wouldn't stop responding. Blargh.

AFM, I am a total zombie this morning. I cannot stay up that late - caffeine or no.

sabby2

Love how the admin jumped in after people had stopped responding to close the thread.  She was exhausting.

izza2

I'm so sad I missed that thread, but really happy that you guys quoted it all!
Golden!

Wow...that was a fun read to wake up to this morning. 

All I can add is:


Nice work ladies and now I just want to eat ramen ans watch Mean Girls at 7:30 on a Sunday morning. 

doxiemoxie212

Oh good. I woke up at 11am. I guess I am indeed jet lagged? 

Amphibious22

@doxiemoxie212 jet lag is the worst going from West to East! For some reason I never get it the other way. Also I was up until almost 1 reading all that awesomeness and now I'm a full zombie at work. At least I'm just working the petting kraal today. The goats don't seem to mind..

MoonOverGoldsboro

172 new posts in randoms when I signed in this morning?! Incredible work with the gifs on that insaneballs thread, ladies. I’m sorry I missed it!

catlady1215

My bridal shower was 10 yrs ago next month. If you would have told me then that in 10 yrs I'd be sitting and sorting through a very large gift bag FULL of xxx gifts that came from my own MOM, just to clean out a room for my second child... I would have laughed. 

.... but as I'm doing it, I'm not laughing. I'm annoyed. Most ridiculous stuff. No wonder they sat in a bag for 10 yrs. 

hjungk84

Thank for such an entertaining read this morning! Kudos to all the wonderful gif's! 

elsie42

That was so awesome, you guys kill me!

glitterfingers

Jumping into the party late as usual. Re: private group I would be a fan of a FB group. I feel like there are enough privacy settings now that you can put your stuff on lock down. Bump on both desktop and mobile is not intuitive or easy to use and would be nice to keep in touch over the first year at least.

Loved catching up on the drama from yesterday

Yalllllllllllll we booked our “baby moon” officially today. I was able book round trip first class tickets for me with points! I’ve never flown first class before! And it’s free! DH could do one way in first class with points, and then he’ll do main cabin the other way. We’re doing LA, Palm Springs and Laguna Beach for 11 days in early March. FX it’s nice weather, but it’s got to be better than NYC weather that time of year.

@doxiemoxie212 Sounds amazing. We are trying to figure out a babymoon. Got to nail down childcare first.

I missed all the excitement last night but I just laughed out loud at OP QFPing one of the ramen gifs. 99% sure that was a troll.

Guys, it's so cold. Even in our house it's cold because I don't want to jack up the heat and have a !@#$ gas bill. (Thermostat says 68 which I find cold.)

@catlady1215 I just cleaned out some stuff in our basement and into the trash/donate pile went a neon pink sparkly lingerie top from VS from MY "lingerie shower."

@doxiemoxie212 I flew first class back from Mexico with my siblings (no parents) a couple years ago and it was the best flight experience of my life. Tbh it was probably because the flight attendant kept the champ coming. 

sabby2

We're headed out for Mongolian grill.  *insert gif of Pooh dancing with fork and knife*

We're doing some other things in town too. Possibly grabbing a wall mount and new tv.  One of the things that kept us sane MOTN last time was watching parts of a movie every time DD was up to nurse. DH is a saint and got up with me every time.  Last time we watched on a laptop so this would be easier.

Our babymoon will include kids, if we're able to take one. We want to visit San Francisco over spring break. It's about 6 hours away, so we'll just drive.
 But we also have to do some remodeling on our rental house bathroom so we're not sure we'll have the money for it. We'll see!

@doxiemoxie212 our baby moon will be my birthday trip. Originally it was Paris but we decided to do a 7 day cruise. My birthday is next month. I need to put in for vacation leave, tomorrow so pending approval of leave. 

sunshineandwhiskey

@doxiemoxie212 that baby moon sounds fun! Esp flying first class. 

DH and I have a “big” trip planned with 4 other couples for over spring break. We’re only going to Virgina, but it should be fun. The group of 5 guys are all turning 40 this year, so it’ll be nice to celebrate and it’s around our wedding anniversary too. Definitely anxious about leaving DD for that long. I’ve only ever been away from her for like 18 hours. 

I also want to plan a long weekend for us around DHs bday/ our church wedding but have no idea where too. I’m terrified to get snowed in somewhere.

@May14th2011 if you need SF area recos, hit me up!  

catlady1215

@llamamama14 oh yah, I tossed a cute little pink number that i don't think even fit me back then! Let alone now! Lol. I had a 'ask mr dick' (think magic 8 ball... but a penis). Stripper mugs for each of us (temp change makes clothes disappear). Edible everything. Body paints. Flavored condoms. I jokingly asked DH if we should put them in the donate box
