it's 2019 and I'm about to buy another pair of tall uggs. I own chestnut but damnit I want some in sand too. #basicbitch

@chichiphin LOL  #tallbootsforlyfe


On Tuesday I accidentally took $8000 in company cash home. 

I work in a small town (population 2000-2500), and my non-profit handles the charitable gaming in 5 small towns including our own. LSS, I drew out cash to establish a new gaming bank at one of our sites, and forgot it was in my coat pocket.  #safetythird

I just made my roommate get out of the shower early bc I had to poop--which I told him, shamelessly. I didn't poop yesterday soooo it was a big deal! He was like, "I can't hear you, but you can come in and do whatever you want." and I was like, "I have to poop!" And he was like "okay, not that one." hahah.

Malidocious

LOL @chichiphin I have 3 pairs of Uggs and I love them all.  I have 2 tall ones (chestnut and dark green) and one tall, but slouchy pair (grey).  #WARMbasicbitch4eva

@stassischroeder At least you still have the money and didn't forget about it and then accidentally lose it somewhere!  Could have been a nightmare!!!

@kagesstarshroom Good for you!  Poops don't come often for me so I'd have done the same thing!!   

treetop19

@chichiphin, add me to the Ugg club too.  I have some sand ones and some black ones.

@kagesstarshroom, we have one bathroom in our house too.. DD has made it a point now to ask everyone in the house if they have to use the bathroom before she gets in the shower.  

@stassischroeder, yikes.  good thing that worked out ok.

kagesstarshroom

@Malidocious LOL yes exactly haha. I spared him the details of how important this poop was since I didn't have one yesterday. 

@treetop19 Aw. I always tell whoever is home when I am about to shower in case they might need to use it! But my showers are loonnggg, and his are usually short, so I get why he doesn't.

keeksie84

@chichiphin for whatever reason I totally LOL'd at that.  No shame in your warm game!  

@stassischroeder Whoopsie!  Good thing you found it!

@kagesstarshroom Haha.  I've totally had to poop at work and have felt zero% bad about it because when you gotta go, you gotta go - especially when it's been a few days.

We made brownies in class yesterday and I had some kids make double batches just so I could eat more.  Also, I'm obsessed with Hello Kitty and they are doing a collab with Anti Social Social Club, which is really popular with my students.  I might buy myself a $90 sweatshirt just to look cool, lol...

chichiphin

also. I've eaten actual sushi secretly from MH twice now... 

miss.sally

Proud UGG owner here, too! I am hoping H will get me another pair for Christmas though because mine are starting to look sad. I even have leather UGGs for DS (that I got brand new at a consignment sale for $10).

@stassischroeder at least you remembered before someone had to ask? lol. That could have been awkward. 

@kagesstarshroom no shame in that. Pregnancy poop is no ordinary poop. Also I can't imagine having only one bathroom and having to share it with people. We have 4. But also cleaning them all is a nightmare. So. There's that. 

@keeksie84 I'm SO jealous of your brownies! I've been craving them for three days now and H won't indulge. Maybe I'll get a mix later and make them... 

My confession: I've spent WAY too much money on maternity clothes in the last few weeks... and I still feel like I have nothing to wear. I keep telling myself to quit buying things but then I do anyways. Even though this is my last pregnancy and I only have a few months left. oops... 

kagesstarshroom

@keeksie84 I also love Hello Kittttty! The accessories that I registered for to go in my diaper bag are 100% HK.

keeksie84

@kagesstarshroom I have a Ju Ju Be Hello Kitty diaper bag that is just a *bit* too HK for me.  I'd be happy to mail it to you if you want it (and aren't creeped out by giving me a mailing address).  It's well used, but has a lot of life!

@miss.sally I feel like you would really like renting maternity clothes. I did le tote last pregnancy and loved it. I am doing Armoire this time and have to admit I am not super impressed (but I got two months of unlimited clothes for only $75 so am sticking with it for now). I will probably switch to Le Tote when my two months is up. I'm hoping Armoire gets better. The selection in my size seems sub-par but maybe I've just been unlucky. This week was better than my first time renting. 

If you wanna try le tote for free, here is my referral link: https://letote.com/freetote/KELLY5150 (You just have to cancel and ship back the clothes within 2 weeks to not get charged if you don't wanna continue the subscription.)

I have resisted the urge to buy more baby clothes since this is girl #2 and I’m having a sprinkle...but I’m not gonna last much longer. I’ve been looking around for the perfect “going home from the hospital” outfit, and when I find it, I’m buying it.

EmilyLove25

@kantobean YES me too... I don't know the sex, but my mom does, and I keep seeing various girl/boy outfits and I am soon going to start firing off links like, order this this and this if it's a boy and this this and this if it's a girl. I have one of each at home, so it truly makes no sense!

silverhope

@kantobean I can't wait to find a going home outfit for baby. I also need to find a whole ensemble for DS, DH, baby, and me for our newborn shoot. 

I spent so little on clothes for DS bc he has all hand me downs from his big cousin. This little one has two twin cousin girls she can get me hand me downs from but I think I am still going to spend an inordinate amount on clothes because girl clothes are SOOOO stinkin' cute. I personally just don't find boy clothes very cute (UO), so I can count on two hands the amount of clothes I've personally bought DS. 

DH is gonna be alarmed bc he is used to be not spending anything on baby clothes ha. 

I've already bought this baby shoes and ruffle butt jammies

@keeksie84 YGPM (in a minute/so!)

miss.sally

@kantobean I’m having DS2 and I have shopped a TON for him. I blame it on different seasons. And also the tiny clothes are just too cute. I got a going home outfit from H&M that’s a silk blend sweater and sweater pants. So dang cute! And itty bitty. I figured it would be plenty warm and soft for a newborn. Yayyyy baby clothes! 

miss.sally

I have another confession. I’ve used baby wipes on myself to freshen up “down there” more than once because I feel like by mid-day I feel so gross from discharge/what have you. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 

miss.sally

@silverhope thank you!!!! I’m definitely intrigued by it. I think I’ve spent so much at this point that I shouldn’t. But I’m going to do the free trial and see what I think! 

ETA: I ordered my first tote, but I had a very difficult time finding anything I wanted, other than a pair of overalls that I’m really excited to try! I probably won’t keep the subscription because of that. I think if I worked outside the home I’d be a lot more into it, but this legging and tunic wearing mama has no need for nice stuff. Haha 

varimama

I got a 22lb Turkey for 4-6 adults and 1 toddler 🤣 DH loves leftover turkey sandwiches and I’m hoping to make some turkey soup! Still wondering if it might have been overkill 😬🤷🏻‍♀️

silverhope

@miss.sally that’s how I feel with armoire right now: very few items I want to try. I hope le tote hasn’t changed a lot and I still like their maternity wear! I’m pretty disappointed in armoire so far. But I’m locked in for 2 months so maybe I’ll see more stuff I like soon.

I've started using them as after-sex wipes. And, occasionally as before-sex wipes if I'm feeling not-so-fresh LOL

Malidocious

@miss.sally @stassischroeder Oooh using baby wipes for a quick freshening up "down there" sounds like a great idea!  BRB going to the store and buying some!!  I feel like I just cannot stay fresh lately and it's grossing me out!  I've been bird-bathing in between showers but wipes would be so much easier, lol.

chichiphin

100% bought flushable wipes for the first time in my life because of this pregnancy haha

Malidocious

@chichiphin I'm totally going to, too!  I had bought and used some adult wet wipes a few years ago but had to quit using them because they made my butt itchy (TMI) but I'm 100% getting some baby wipes today or tomorrow for freshening purposes because I'm not at all thrilled about pregnancy aromas!

kailanae

I have definitely used baby wipes myself - also have kept them by the bed for freshening purposes.  Though I would generally advise not flushing wipes, even ones labeled "flushable", but instead put them in the trash.  Especially if you are on septic - our septic cleaning service advises against flushing anything that isn't toilet paper.

Malidocious

I'm not on septic, but I still don't tend to flush anything beyond actual toilet paper - even things that claim to be flushable.  I have an old house with finicky pipes, so I'm not looking for a big plumbing disaster over wet wipes.
