The chick that commented on the working nesties was JennHawk. I have beef with her comment. Thats all Im gonna say about it.
I hate dogs. Im not uptight. I just dont like them. No different than if someone didnt like snakes or rats--they are pets also and people dont usually say snake-haters are uptight.
I hate hate hate "vote for my baby" posts. I will never vote. Never.
I never understand people who dont tell the truth. This applies to ppl IRL, not here, so no names needed. You cant change the truth, but the truth can change you. Amen.
I plan on eating so much food tommorrow that I gain 100 lbs. I have worked damn hard to lose the 8 lbs that I have over the last 4 wks, but I really dont care. Friday is a new day, and the diet will resume then.
Flame free/flameable....who cares. Dont confess anything you dont want to be flamed for or cant defend. No one FORCES you to confess anything.
I am going to have a second cup of coffee today. I didn't bring my lunch to work today because I was running late...so I am thinking of going for subway....or maybe even McDonalds (we'll see how the day goes!)
I don't want to spend the night at IL's on Friday. I don't mind going up to visit but don't want to stay the night.
I hate hate hate "vote for my baby" posts. I will never vote. Never.
Why does everyone hate these? This is a baby board, right so why won't other Mom's vote for a baby in a contest?
Honestly, I dont think that some of the babies are THAT cute. They arent ugly, but maybe not worthy of "cutest baby." Not to mention that it seems alittle strange to me to have a bunch of strangers voting just to tell the mother that they think that her baby is cute. I know my baby is cute, I dont need a contest to tell me that. Its like a baby popularity contest.
I don't understand why people come on a message board and post all of their personal business on it? I don't give a flying flip if you are/aren't having sex or if you did/didn't have a fight with your husband or if said husband blew his load in his sleep! Dial it back people, seriously.
I have to agree with this one. I will never understand posting all your dirty laundry on the internet. I guess it makes some people feel better, but I do think there is such a thing as too much info.
Although, I do answer the sex polls. The ones that are generic enough (how many times, etc.), that is. Maybe that's being a hypocrite. However, I feel like we're all adults and most of us are having sex. But I'm not going to get into nitty gritty details about the deed itself. Nobody needs/wants to hear that...and it's just NMS.
DH and I both picked up some extra hours working this weekend since we really need the money. I thought that he was working during the day so I picked up the night shift. Well we are both working at night so DS will be gone on a sleepover Friday and Saturday night. I feel horrible that he is going to be gone. Even though he loves going to see my parents.
I am so excited to eat a ton tomorrow and I don't even care if I gain 10 pounds.

There are some thank you cards that were never sent. I feel bad but it's not like I can send them now. Six months later- Thanks for the gift six months ago! "preciate it!!
I think some of the women on the nest/bump are married to complete a**holes and I do not know why they put up with so much crap. If DH told me that he expected me to be a working mom and take care of all of the household chores and DS, I would tear him a new one.
Fortunately, DH rocks - he's at home right now making mashed potatoes and pies for tomorrow. He's going to take care of the laundry and make up the guest beds while he's at it.
I agree!! DH and I both work and he doesn't expect me to do everything. If he did, my foot would be so far up his ass, he wouldn't be able to walk straight. :-)
I am sitting here still in my PJ's and not in any hurry to get ready. We are going to the in-laws for thanksgiving and they don't care much for me right now. I have to shower and pack and have not even started. I am going to make DH pack up DD and he has another think coming if he thinks it is an easy thing to do. Everytime we have ever made a trip I had to pack everything so he is in for it on how much there is to pack. (so this so take him a good long while) YEA!!! I think it will take us a while before we head out and then we are off for a 4 hr road trip for till Saturday.
I think that
most of the pictures done at babies r us/picture people etc are
absolutely terrible and don't do justice to adorable babies. Your
babies might have a cute smile/outfit, but with the equipment they have
can they at least do something more than flat lighting and out of focus
pictures with tacky background? Some of this can be easily
amended with photoshop.
I think that a lot of the "done at home" christmas pictures are so much better, even ones with crappy point and shoot cameras.
I
kind of want to start a blog letting people know how to do cheap
lighting tricks to do this stuff at home and get creative.
IckyThump is my new favorite nestie b/c she nominated Caroline for cutest baby girl. (Aidan is pretty darn cute too!)
I feel guilty that I have a freezer full of pumped milk that probably won't get used b/c DD won't take a bottle and makes a huge mess with the sippy cup. I wish I could just give it away before it goes bad especially since the latest formula issue.
I'm annoyed that every single time we go up north to visit the inlaws (BIL, SIL, and FIL/MIL) we have to move around, stay at least two different houses over 2-3 nights, because DH's sis is so needy that she gets all upset if we don't always spend a lot of time with her family.
Also annoyed that every time we go to visit HIS family, he *has* to go on a 3 hour bike ride with his brother (he did this even the time he took me up there to meet his family for the first time... boy that was fun). I'm past the point of it being a "I don't know these people why are you taking off to go enjoy yourself and leaving me here w/ them" thing, and more a "hellooo we drove 4 fricking hours to visit YOUR family, why am I doing all the work?" thing. He really doesn't get what the big deal is, and despite 100's of times trying to explain he still doesn't get it. I think on Christmas this year when we have to spend just ONE day with my family (as opposed to 4 since they're close to us), I'll take off for 3 hours with my mom and let him hang out w/ everyone on his own.

I hate hate hate "vote for my baby" posts. I will never vote. Never.
..
Those drive me nuts too. Who cares! There are a million and one of those photo contests and posting for a few votes on here isn't going to help you win. And if it does, you kinda cheated anyway or didn't play fair. Whatever.
It really irritates me when I see those posts and then the poster has like 4 posts total (saw this over the weekend or last week maybe). Seriously, you have time to enter your kid in a "contest" and then create an account just to try and get more votes?! Come on!
I'm canceling my gym membership because each time I take DD to the daycare I get paged w/in 10 minutes because she freaks out when she doesn't see me. I keep getting comments about how I shouldn't cancel and I should keep taking her to get her used to it because she's too attached to me and blah blah blah and I want to b!tch slap the person commenting! My baby, my way! She's not going to be damaged because I don't force her into an hour daycare a few times a week when I don't NEED to, like you're insinuating!

I think that the people who biitch about the flaming that happens are way too sensitive and need some big girl panties.
The passive aggressive comments on here make me want to biitch slap people.
I think it's funny that the same group that gave such a piss poor welcome to me (ie. "we don't want your kind here") are now preaching puppy dogs and rainbows. Well...I'm here to stay and your dog can kiss my ass because I bite back!

I hate snakes. Like, you have to turn the tv channel if a snake appears, won't open a copy of national geographic serious phobia fvcking hate snakes. i can't imagine someone feeling that way about a dog (fuzzy! lovey!). but my grandma (RIP Grandma, i love you!) was crazy scared of cats, so to each their own.
RE: buttmunch DH's on here. I gave up on trying to understand other's relationship dynamics a LONG time ago. Some people thrive on drama, some people thrive on harmony and respect.
I also agree some of the babies on the bump are kinda goofy looking.
DD has no official birth cert. yet. but I am not too worried.
Hmmmm..... I am strategically having DS sleeping in the bedroom next to the IL's so when he wakes up at 6 am- he can go crawl in with them and let DH, DD, and I sleep in.
Every time I see Destea1's posts, I get a little wistful. *I* want to live in Santa Cruz! Even Highway 17. Sometimes I think leaving the Bay Area was a big mistake, even though coming to Chicago brought me to DH and DD, and I wouldn't change that.
The female side of our best "couple" friends is bugging me. She wants us to move to her expensive suburb, and keeps sending me house listings there that are in our price range. They are total, complete "as is" dumps! I know she just wants us to be near them and she's trying to be helpful, but seriously, would she ever live in these places? No. Why would I want to with my baby daughter?

directed at me? interested in teaching some photoshop
lessons? honestly up until a year ago i've been shooting 4x5
slide film almost exclusivley, so yeah, not perfect. interested
in critiquing? I'd love to hear it.
all i was saying is that there are some really creative
photographers on these boards, but i think their photos could be really
great if they learned some simple natural lighting and reflecting
techniques. just trying to help.
- I'm jumping the gun by being here but I want to confess!
- I think siggies have gotten out of control. What is this, babygaga!?! I partially blame the nest with their fancy-pants badges.
- I scroll through posts looking for my favorite posters and only read their responses. This is especially true when a post involves flaming. I just HAVE to read what Brahim, Lanie, Hippy and LOTR think about things. And I generally agree with them.
I like flame free confessions (the non-dc-endangering kinds). It's one post. And how do you know if your on the rainbows or b*tches team? What if you're an inbetween? Would you be on the "bowtches"?
I hate that all the "Bump" badges have a pg lady in every one. Wtf? I started on the Knot and got kicked to the Nest. Then the Nest went all Bump....am I suppose to go back to the Nest now because I don't have a bump?
I'm not a fan of dogs. Sorry, but I hate drool and hair everywhere. Being licked doesn't thrill me either. Of course, DD#2 drools, I'm still shedding (ugh) and we're just going to leave that last one alone!

lol I have at least four that I know I didn't send thank you cards for and one because my mil opened it before we got it and lost the card. urrrgh... that one is on her. i agree too late now.
My brother pissses me off right now. It's like since he moved 20m away with SIL everything his about her, her friends and her family, and none of his family matters. I like SIL but he's just got no f-ing backbone where she's concerned. And he makes me feel like he's ashamed of us for some reason.
And I like the idea of dogs. It's generally the owners I have a problem with. I'd never let my son stick his face in someone's crotch and then jump on them and drool on them. And if I did, someone would be perfectly within their rights to be pissed at me and not like my son. My brother and my sister each have Great Danes. They are big, dumb, gentle things that wouldn't hurt a fly, but that doesn't mean I want dog snout up my a$$ the minute I walk in the door at Thanksgiving tomorrow, especially since they both know that my mom and I are both incredibly allergic.

- I sometimes hate dogs, and I have two. One of my dogs eats her own poopsicles when the weather is cold.
Since last Friday this is my menu
Fri lunch-Jerry's foot long sub, fries - ate the whole thing, dinner - Pizza
Sat left over pizza and Ruby Tuesdays shrimp & pasta dish (although I also got the salad bar)
Sun Ledo's pizza and wings
Mon lunch Chinese carry out, dinner leftover Ledo's

I really don't have anything good today... ate my DH's cornbread that came with his take-out dinner, even though I knew he'd want some. Evil, I know.
We're watching Reno 911 right now. That's one that requires a confession, for sure.
DH stopped BFing 3 days ago, then re-started on her own yesterday. I was relieved to stop BFing, but am even more relieved that she started again.
