    I've decided that "double churned" or "half fat" ice cream means I can eat at least twice as much, for the normal fat amount + extra since I'm pregnant.

    Wait, I thought they invented this ice cream so that we could eat twice as much?! 

    Well that's the conclusion I came to, so if 2 of us are in agreement, it must be TRUE!  When it gets warmer I'll actually walk to DQ down the street and pretend like it's to burn the calories I'm about to consume.

    I consider the calories null and void if I scoop my ice cream and then also bring my dirty dish to the sink.  I'd say the walk down the street is worth double the calories!

  • I'm excited that we are painting our living room, dining room and nursery tomorrow.  I am not at all excited about the amount of work it is going to take tonight and tomorrow morning to prepare to paint and I wish I could just let my husband do it all.  I had a couple weeks of feeling great, but I'm back to being completely exhausted and the only way I'll be able to help is with some caffeine tonight.  Sorry baby Jaxson Huh?

  • MY FFFC:  I work at a place where we inquire about income for benefits purposes.  Where I work, no one we question has income.  No one files taxes.  No one is married.  But everyone has children they "provide support" for. 

    How is this possible with no wages, no income, and no job?  It isn't.  And it burns me up that they don't understand that the person asking them the question--who pays property, state, local, and federal taxes on their job + for their benefits is the person who is providing that support. 

  • I feel like an idiot for this, but I made the mistake of looking at pre-pregnancy summer bikini pics.  On one hand, I feel overwhelmed by my changed body and on the other hand I can't believe how hard I used to be on myself.  I love my bump, but my new-found extra thighs are definitely overwhelming!

    I probably shouldn't be eating twice the slow-churned ice cream, huh?  :D

    I can't stand when people don't dress appropriately for work. I get it's "Jean Friday" but come on, it doesn't mean you can just look like butt when you walk into the office. It's jeans, not ho-day or bum-day... it's jeans, which means, replace your dress pants with jeans and leave the rest pretty much the same (unless you're a guy that wears ties everyday). Be respectful, it's still work.

    I also have a problem with people that wear tennis shoes to work. I've never liked it, even when I worked at a company where the dress was super casual they could wear baseball hats or shorts. And even when I would do it, I hated myself for 9 hours. I'm okay if you're leaving work early because you're going to the baseball game or something, but otherwise no.

    And while I'm still on the subject - after having gone through a consultation 4 years ago on how to dress appropriately for work, I'm well awawre that sales guys should be wearing suits when they're selling a product. However, today is our 3rd vendor coming and they're the best dressed, but they suck at presentation. The 2nd best dressed wore the suits minus the ties. It helped that they were decent to look at, and would've been better had any of them been over 5'6 (i'm 5'8, I felt like a fat, pregnant giant!).

    I so agree!!  If you live anywhere in this area, you should be ashamed of yourself (unless it's 1am, you're drunk, and only Domino's is open).

    I'm right there with you, my pre-pg "thick" thighs are looking awesome right about now. It's driving me nuts that most of my maternity shirts hit at the thigh area, which is now the widest part of my body. It's like drawing a giant line that says "look here!"

    I don't care if it's only 9:20 a.m. -- I want a piece of pizza.

    I think we are having pizza for dinner, despite my wanting to eat healthier lately. I just don't care today.

    I hope you get your pizza today!

    I made pizza for dinner on Monday night. My rationalization is that if I make it all from scratch, it's basically health food, right??

     

    This is my rationalization, we had pizza last night with whole wheat dough, thats how I justified making cinnamon sticks out of the leftover dough lol

    I had mall pizza yesterday when I ran out to return something at Macys during lunchtime (Sbarros, kinda gross but its been forever since I had pizza and it smelled good).  And then MH & I both got home from work earlier than usual, and he suggested we go out for pizza for dinner.  I didn't tell him I had it for lunch.  2 pizza meals yesterday, not at all a balanced diet day, but drool...

    That is totally something I would do. I love pizza that much.

  • Yesterday's post completely disgusted me, but I seriously cannot stand the pot-stirring posts that came after it.

    I have no problem with people defending themselves, and also separate posts for girls like DuhDaisy to say thank you to those that defended her but the 8-hours-after "fcuk you" and other superfluous posts are just stupid and a feeble attempt to call attention to the OP.

    I have OCD so bad that I can't even consider the possibility of having a home birth...the thought having to clean something else puts me over the edge with anxiety..even if it is just an extra load of laundry, an extra footprint to swiffer off my wood floors, etc. I plan to have my house spotless before leaving for the hospital and then returning home with baby to my spotless house (yes I know it will soon be filled with baby everything no matter what) 

    My midwife & team clean everything up after the baby is born and healthy. EVERYTHING. Every dish, every towel, they disassemble the tub, mop and steamclean if needed... It'll be awesome.

  • imageJay_Cee:

    I'm so glad I skipped the second baby shower I was invited to a few weeks ago. I just learned that the baby daddy got physical (no details there), his mom hit the grandmother of the pregnant girl in the head, and the cops were called.

    All because the pregnant girl's family wouldn't allow her bf to take all the baby stuff to his house when the baby is not living with them.

    The flameful part of this? I sent a gift, know it got to their house, and I expect a thank you note before the end of next week or so (three weeks to a month after the shower). I'll be pissed if I don't get one, especially since the pregnant girl's mom told me what to buy her daughter.

    OH my gosh! It was that girl?! Crazy!

    I have another one - I HATE major league baseball and also college basketball.

     I was secretly glad OSU lost last Friday so that everyone would stop talking about it around here and I could stop pretending to care :)

    So that makes 2 of us in the entire state of Ohio who were glad ;)  Wait, 3.  DH hates OSU.

    I work at OSU so it's who I am... but as much as I've obsessed over OSU football in the past, the recent events are making me "meh" over this entire place.  It's all about $$$ everywhere on this campus, sports or academics.  Just disappointing.

    My FFFC: I think 99% of all maternity photography is terribly cheesy and/or creepy. I don't need to see your husband making out with your stomach, or the hands in the shape of a heart over your belly (gag), or some random crap finger-painted on your stomach. It just all seems ridiculous to me and black & white earns you no "artsy" points.

    Yep, it was that girl. And while it may have been entertaining to see, I agree that it's good I wasn't there. That family is klassy.

    Thankfully the girl had the sense to finally break up with her boyfriend. Hopefully they stay that way.
