I use the shot glass favor from our friends wedding to pee in. I almost feel bad seeing yellow liquid fill up behind their name and wedding date. They probably didn't intend them for this use. But they would've gone in trash otherwise so whatever.

I had a dream climax this morning right before my alarm went off.

When you dream climax do you climax in real life? I'm constantly wondering this. I'm scared my husband is like "Wtf? Who's in that dream??"

I don't know, but it certainly feels real to me.

I think I have. DH has caught me moaning and smiling while coming out of my sleep. It's a great feeling.

Sorry @macylynn27 about your crappy friends. I do hope it blows over and they stop talking shit about you, but I definitely don't blame you from wanting to distance yourself from them.

We cashed in some stock and were able to check a few big items off our wish/need list, like a real life adult dining room table and a comfy couch. We also decided to do an energy audit of our house, because heating it last winter was $500 a month and our state offers a pretty good energy incentive. Turns out, there's pretty much nothing in the walls and I'm so pissed. After the 4.5 hour audit, I'm pretty sure the chunk of money that we budgeted is waaaay off. My FFFC is.... we can afford the repairs, and should do it, but it means that most of my items on the 'want' list get scrapped. I feel like a brat for being so upset about that.

I blamed the candy wrappers left in the bathroom on DD because I didn't want DH to know that I was eating all the Halloween candy while sitting on the toilet.

mmb248 · November 2013

I've had an "appointment" on my work calendar going all week with a list of FFFC. Here they are, like Miss America contestants, in no particular order:

After @slappalicious told me that the Coach bag I want is actually much bigger than it looks online, I started searching for a new handbag for my wish list. I found a Michael Kors bag that is $895. Now, it's the only thing I want and all other handbags can't compare.

I've been DVR-ing and watching Hallmark Christmas movies for the last 2 weeks. I judge people who decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving. When DH pointed out my hypocrisy, my rationalization was that I do it in shame from the privacy of my own home. I don't put my crazy on display.

I have a pinterest board entitled, "Gift Me." So does my sister. We both think it's the best way to let people know what we want without having to give them a list. I'm irritated with my MIL because she keeps asking me what I want even after I sent her a link to the pinterest board. CLICK THE LINK LADY!

I'm afraid to cross the street. I often don't go to lunch with co-workers because most restaurants are across the street from our office and it's the busiest street in town. 6 lanes of cars going 50mph? No thank you.

All of you broads who are all, "LOOK AT ME, I haven't shaved in a month!" Well, I didn't shave the baby hatch area for over a year after my youngest was born.

Did you french braid it?

FFFC: My best friend asked me to be the godmother of her son. She wants to have a catholic baptism. I don't believe in God. I don't know what to do and feel like an asshole both ways.

Just so you know, and your friend will, to be the actual godmother you have to have a note from your parish priest that you are an active Catholic in good standing and participate/are a member of a parish. That also means you're a Confirmed Catholic, and if you're married you're married in the Church. Now, you can be a 'Christian witness' if you were baptized in any Christian denomination, you don't have to have a note or anything. I say this because I'm a godmother this weekend and had to contact my parish here, but my H, who was baptized Episcopal, in the Christian witness.

divinemsbee · November 2013

Of course, this is in the States at our churches, so, maybe not, but it's kind of a get out of jail free card for you because you actually can't do it.

Oh I have another one!

I am ridiculously overexcited for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire to be released next week. I loved the book and the movie looks fantastic. I've been reading everything I can find on it and watching every clip that's been posted anywhere. The last time I was like this was for the Lord of the Rings movies.

I donated blood before each of them just so that I can free movie tickets. I bleed for the Hunger Games.

Lottie&Paul · November 2013

I really want to get KU asap, but if I get a BFP this cycle, then I can't drink during the holidays and the EDD will be Aug, which has a horrible birthstone. So if I ever get piece of mother's jewelry, like 20 years from now, it will have a crappy peridot. But if I don't get a BFP until my next cycle, then I can drink over the holidays, and the EDD would be September, which has a lovely sapphire for its birthstone. I can't help but worry that this lousy attitude will result in my not getting pregnant, as punishment from the gods for being petty.

Re Movies: My H and I go to MAYBE one movie a year and it's usually not a blockbuster or a "must see" movie. The last movie we saw in theaters was Scream 4 and I was so ridiculously excited to see it.

We don't go to the movies often (1-2x a year) either. But, I got free tickets from work (good for any movie) a few months ago and have been saving them for this.

joshua+rebecca11 · November 2013

@Ladybug622 a child's safety is always above adult relationships, if they are worried about ruining the "adult relationship" with someone who is improperly treating a kid then they have their priorities wrong.

wishiwaspreggo · November 2013

@EmeJay - My problem is the inverse of yours! My very religious Christian friend really, really wants to be the godmother of C and I's future child. She's C's best friend from childhood and she's brought it up with us many times. C is really uncomfortable with it because we aren't religious. And while I love our friend, I kind of worry that she'll tell things to our child that I'm not comfortable with. We have a lot in common, but we strongly disagree when it comes to religion and politics. We avoid talking about it because neither of us will see eye-to-eye.

It's really hard because we're gay and she's an Evangelical Christian.

It's not a problem we have to face now but I admit it's in the back of my mind and I don't know what to do.

That probably didn't help. But I at least kinda know how you feel. It's hard.

I should have bought a couch or some other 'need' with my extra check in September, but instead we went to San Jose to visit my BFF. No regrets.

I'm a September baby, so I'm partial to a sapphire, but I have seen some very pretty peridots. Just like all other colored stones, they come in a variety of shades. You just need to find the right one for you.

H gave me a diamond and sapphire ring and matching pendant last year for Christmas. I ovulated on Christmas Eve, and if we had conceived the EDD would have been September. I felt like the world was aligning to give me a September baby and a lifetime of sapphire mother's day gifts. H thought I was nuts.

Since then, I've picked up a couple of new hobbies so my mind doesn't start drifting in the land of future baby birthstones.

Lottie&Paul · November 2013

Dude, peridot is NOT crappy. I think it's a beautiful shade of green.
Hmm... maybe. My taste in jewelry is probably different than most people's. Before he proposed my husband asked me for ideas about what I might like in an engagement ring, and I said I wanted yellow gold. He told me after he proposed that all the jewelers kept telling him, "oh no, yellow gold is really dated. Surely that's not what she wants."

As someone with an August birthday, this makes me insanely sad. I love my birthstone and the month of August. So there.

Well, please don't be sad! Just different tastes! Although I can see where "horrible" and "crappy" can offend. Sorry!

Peridot is my birthstone and I think it's crappy. That shade of green in general? Pretty awesome. As a gem stone? HORRIBLE!

msteacher83 · November 2013

August birthday and I also hate peridot. I always get sapphire or ruby stuff because the colors are more pleasing to me. I had a spicy dream about a coworker two days ago and it's all I can think about. Also, I'm supposed to be grading papers right now but I'm going to go get a coffee instead.

In my 40 years on this earth I have yet to find a nice shade of peridot.

Yes I have strong feelings about my birthstone. It sucks.

BlckRoses · November 2013

My birthday is in November and my birthstone is citrine or orange topaz (according to Wikipedia) and I hate it. I would always buy the September birthstone stuff since I love sapphires. My wedding band is actually diamonds and sapphires.

Lottie&Paul · November 2013

The only month I don't care for is February. Tell me good things about February birthdays.

After the holidays there is a lull in excitement, and winter can seem long and dreary. A birthday might be just the the thing to improve everyone's mood!

Probably just looking at my husband next month with no birth control will make me pregnant given my family's track record. I don't want to contribute to that birthday crazy mess, but whatever!

I have a December birthday, and I'm not a huge fan of blue topaz. My dad gave me blue topaz earrings and a blue topaz bracelet, and I love them for sentimental reasons, but otherwise, I don't want to add to the collection.

You could always go by the stone of the sign instead of the month! Like for example, Leo is the first half of August and that would be peridot. But if it were the second half of August it would be Virgo which is sapphire.

I was confused about if you were stalking birth month boards or birth mothers. I now see clarification. DD's bio mom is a vegetable now and bio dad is incarcerated, so I can't stalk them, but her grandmother has a Facebook and is full of the crazy. I'm so glad DD is with us instead!!

I'm sad that you call a baby ugly. I know they aren't the best looking creatures when they are first born, but it just seems really mean to take out your frustrations with an adult on a baby that just got here.
Eta: I would be hurt and angry beyond belief if someone said that about my kid just because they didn't like me. Call me ugly, call me fat, call me a dumb bitch...but don't say a word about my child who has nothing to do with it.

This exactly. What a shitty thing to say about a newborn. You really worked hard to be able to stalk her on fb, too.

I totally read it as ugly drama- we're talking about ugly babies??? ;(

@Joy2611 other then the amethyst birth stone I got nothing good for February...sorry. I have a February birthday and I hated it! DD was born in August and I love that! When I got pregnant with DS and I realized his EDD was my birthday I felt so bad for him. But after having him I know I'll enjoy February birthdays so much more. Actually I do know another good thing about a February birthday, not having to be 9 months pregnant in the summer! My summer pregnancy with DD was so much harder then having DS in winter.

@shimmer475 - My bd is in July and I always wished I had a birthday that during the school year because I never got to have a birthday party with all of my classmates.

My engagement ring is my grandmother's from the 1940s and is yellow gold. It's the prettiest damn thing I've ever seen. My wedding band is also yellow gold. My earrings and necklace today are also yellow gold. The people who say yellow gold sucks just don't have a clue.

I still love peridots.

EDIT: Oh, I'm not offended. It's just a gemstone. I just wanted you to hear that some people really do think they're lovely! Maybe change your mind? Heh - maybe not. :-)

With the price of gold now any color gold is amazing and beautiful.

Yesterday I called child protective services on my cousin. My mom told me not to because if anybody finds out it was me it will ruin her relationship with her brother, who is my cousins dad. I don't give a shit. What she is doing to her son is not right, family or not.

Unless the case were to go to court and you testified against your cousin, no one will know it was you. A child's safety always trumps "ruining" an adult friendship. Sorry you have to deal with this!

Except the fact that she posted on a public forum that she did it, and has pictures of her kids in her siggy.

I've never understood posting extremely personal information on a public message board when you have identifying pictures/other info of yourself in your siggy. Who knows who's on this board that you know IRL. I don't know the situation, so I have no clue if you are justified in your decision, but either way, whether she deserves it or not, this is horribly personal family information and it makes me uncomfortable that it's posted here.
