@morgantu do you use a specific brand of planner? I love planners and I'm getting ready to buy a new one for the year, my go-to is Erin Condren but I'm always looking for new ones!
@morgantu I love the idea of a planner, but I have terrible follow thru.
My confession: I haven't slept in the same bed as my husband for a week because he's had some horrible cough and I end up moving to the guest room anyway, so I've just been starting off in the guest bed. It's been amazing.
@katy0990 I had deli turkey meat for lunch Weds AND Thurs! Not because it looked good but because I was at training out of town and that’s all they had! They fed us the same thing two days in a row- ugghhh!! I think baby girl is just fine - she’s just as active as she’s always been!
Re: Lunch meat. I haven't gotten sick or heard of anyone getting sick off of lunch meat in AGES. At this point, I think we run a higher risk eating ice cream or bagged salad Freakin' Listeria.
@texas_t My husband leaves for work earlier than I need to get up and those last few minutes in bed without him are the. best.
My
SIL sent an email about Christmas plans because she and her boyfriend
are going west "like Fivel" until the 27. She included a link to this video in the email. I
watched it and teared up.
Mine is super lame but I have basically just not been watching my intake of caffeine the last couple of weeks at all. I’m having I’m sure more coffee then I should in the morning and then usually more caffeine at some point in the afternoon. Also I hate a hoagie yesterday. Bad mama!
@morgantu I love my planner too! @lippy625 I have a plum paper planner. It’s similar to an Erin Condren, but not exactly and is customizable. The last two years they have had a Black Friday sale and that’s when I order.
@texas_t DS1 sometimes asks to sleep in our bed because “he’s the only one who doesn’t share a room with someone”. When we let him I take his bed and it’s glorious to sleep all by myself!
I spent the first hour of work chatting with my coworker, then the next hour signing up for 3 civil service exams, and then ordering groceries online, and now I'm on the bump. I leave at 11:45 to go to our staff picnic, so there is no work to be done today.
@rosebud332 Saaame on the caffeine. I stick to a cup in the mornings but more and more I’ve been having an extra cup (or, actually, taking a trip to Starbucks, ha) in the afternoon.

@snugglyduckling25 just went to check out plum paper, I'm definitely going to try them this year! I was instantly sold on them when their "peachy keen" sticker set popped up on the first page. Two of my favorite movies (Grease and Jawbreaker) use that line and it was part of my first AOL screen name waaaaaay back in the day.
@PensiveCrayon@rosebud332 oops me too! My morning cup is now my 16 oz to go mug. And the afternoon coffee isn’t everday but was creeping up until the reflux got worse. I guess I think my body will tell me my limits if I pay attention? Within reason.
My FFFC is my OB wanted me to go in for my GD 3 hr within 1-1.5 weeks. It’s been a week already and no way I could make it in. Canceling a full morning of patients on less than a week notice when we’re understaffed and have no coverage is close to impossible. I’ll do it next Friday, which will be just over 2 weeks later. I’ll only be 26+1 so I think it should be fine.
I’m going to LA on Sunday just for a few days and my favorite sandwich of all time will be available to me. It’s from a deli called Bay Cities and is called the Godmother. It essentially your classic italian sub. So all the processed pork. LOL. i want one sooooooooooooooooooooo bad. Can’t decide if I am gonna do it or not.
I have had deli meat this pregnancy but for some reason this time I’m questioning it. It’s definitely not gonna be worth eating it if i don’t enjoy it.

I'm with @texas_t on the sleep! MH is heading back to KS after work today to get his tree stand ready for hunting season. I'm so excited to not hear him snore tonight and tomorrow night. The only snoring I'll be hearing is from our 200 lb dog on the floor.
Re: planners, I love looking at the structured kind but I also love the flexibility of my bullet journal, so I just stick with it since it’s what works for me.

@PensiveCrayon I looooove other people's bullet journals. I need the structure dictated to me, though. Plus I'm not artistic so i just get jealous of the beautiful layouts
@texas_t I agree with you on lunch meat. My nutritionist is wayyy more worried about those pre-cut, pre-washed salad things because of how many people handle those in its production. Though she did say that I should probably "nuke" the lunch meat to a high heat just to play it safe, but that after that I could eat all of it that I wanted.
I loveeee planners and all things notebooks. Seriously, I'm kind of obsessed and I've worked hard over the years to NOT overbuy them. I buy them and I am like... I will totally use this! Then I use it for a week and end up with a 2 foot high stack of notebooks, adult coloring books, sudoku, journals, planners, etc.
My FFFC is that I was *this close* to contacting a photographer for a session, but instead am thinking about doing some reverse image searches and potentially busting them? No benefit for me, I would just rather go out of my way to protect someone else's images.
So I see this:
Read that?! "The photos below are not mine, these are examples of what we can do."
I just cannot believe that this photog is using someone else's work in their promotional material. I'm at least going to ask who the original photographer is...so I know who's work they're ripping off. Is their actual work so shameful that they can't show their own work? That's just shifty AF.

@rosebud332 Right?! I looked at her stuff, and her photos show me that she cannot wield her camera like the advert. I asked publicly, and she said that she got the images from Pinterest. So...brb while I hunt down at least one of the original photographers and let them know that their work is being used without their permission to promote a sub-par photographer.
ETA: I totally found and emailed two three of the original photographers already! Pew pew pew.

I know we covered this last week but I'm even worse this week! I've done WAY more registry stalking today than actual work now that my mom sent out the shower invites. I am so excited to start getting everything ready for baby boy that I can't resist!
@texas_t I totally agree. I eat deli meat from time to time (from safe places, not like, gas stations or whatever, haha) but I won't do bagged salads while pregnant or any brand that has had recent food borne illness outbreaks (sorry Chipotle, I love you but not right now.)
@echo-charlietango Omg, that is shocking! I can't believe someone would advertise their photography business with...other people's images. That's horrible! Good for you for contacting the original photographers!
@texas_t I always peek too! One of my last peeks revealed that my MIL bought me some pants, but they hadn't arrived in a month. I asked her and they were backordered - so she just got a refund

@texas_t amazon sends emails?! This is not going to be good. I really want to try and not peek, but my will power is not strong. And yes, I am a STM, but everyone wanted me to have shower since it’s been 6 years. And well, I kept nothing, so who am I to say no? 😊
@maureenmce Poop yeah. So far one of the photographers has already written back, and the GWC (girl with camera) on Facebook has deleted my query. I wonder how soon she'll block me?

I don't have the willpower to resist seeing who bought me what from our registry. It actually was okay because it's hard to remember & helped me thank the appropriate people at the shower.
@Katzalia FWIW My OB told me that the results are less reliable before 25 weeks, anyway. I’m not supposed to do it until 28 weeks. @echo-charlietango WTF I’d wrong with people? Does the really think the disclaimer makes it better? @texas_ If Amazon tells you to do it, how can you refuse? @PensiveCrayon@rosebud332@Katzalia I feel much better now about the Javachip I had earlier. Target gave me 20% off Sbux. How could I say no?
I dropped DS off with my mom so I could get my hair done this afternoon. Instead of picking him up after I texted DH And told him to get him after work and I’m using my time to sit on the couch and eat everything.
So h's grandma is in town for the night and wants to go to a sushi restaurant. I don't eat fish anyway so it's nbd, but I'm totally gonna play up the 'bring a pregnant lady to sushi' angle anyway. Not to mention being a vegetarian at a sushi restaurant is typically a pretty lackluster experience as well.
