Can we do an early UO?

melody921 · November 2013

Since Thanksgiving will be consumed by turkey. And, I never remember all the early in the week annoyances at the end of the week anyway...

melody921 · November 2013

I seriously hate the phrase, "I love me some ______"

Just say you love it. The poor grammar makes me inclined to say I hate whatever you're loving just to be contrary.

BeebopandBuddy · November 2013

I agree with that @melody921. I also hate when people say a "shitload" or a "buttload". Ew.

I looked through the red carpet pics from the AMA's last night. I think half of the women look like hookers between their makeup, hair and dress. Maybe I am just old.

How about "fuckton"

Metric crapton?

MarisaKathleen · November 2013

I didn't even know the AMAs were on.

I'm shopping on Thanksgiving/BF. It's a family tradition.

I hate matchy/matchy Christmas trees. I like that everyone I know IRL (except a friend in a small apartment) have trees with personality.

I think Charmin Sensitive TP is better than all other TPs out there. It's soft, but not TOO soft.

willy_gert · November 2013

Can we do early FFFC too? I am trying to remember my UO from this weekend, but I can't. All I have is confessions.

Agreed! Our tree (just like my family's growing up) is a mish-mash of colorful, fun ornaments. For me, it's about tradition and memories and stuff my kids will make through the years, not having pink and silver balls that sparkle and shine.

melody921 · November 2013

@willy_gert, of course confessions are welcome too! This can be one big ol' post.

BeebopandBuddy · November 2013

Fuckton is ok. It's something about the idea of your butt being full. I don't know why, it just grosses me out.

Fuckton is grossly underused.

I don't think I've ever used that expression. My absolute favorite word, applicable in many situations, however, is "asinine."

Our Christmas tree was like that every year growing up, but I really just like the very pretty catalog looking Christmas trees. So Luci will have one that is her tree to put whatever she wants on it and I can still have my pretty catalog Christmas tree. Its selfish, but I like it.

willy_gert · November 2013

Because melody said it was okay, my confessions are:

- I am scared to drink when I am home alone with LO because of the Baby Lisa Irwin case in KC. The mom had been drinking and the baby was kidnapped, etc. So, I just can't do it.

- DH, LO and I are probably going to go to Target and a few other places on Thanksgiving evening after his parent's go home to grab a few deals.

- My BFF is pissing me off, because she keeps suggesting that we hire someone to finish our flooring before DH's surgery but she doesn't understand that I literally DO NOT have the money to do it. She is fairly wealthy and just doesn't understand. It is making me angry.

BillyMollyEmmy · November 2013

I hate it when I see parents out shopping with their kids in tow during midnight madness or Black Friday or some other shopping event that means you're shopping in the middle of the night. Put your children to bed. Stuff is not that important.

This.

I can't think of anything important enough that I would:

A. subject Nancy to the craziness of BF.

B. subject anyone in the store to the madness that will ensue because I'm trying to keep my child wrangled.

I started going with my Mom when I was in high school. I don't see any reason to take kids before that.

Then again, there's a lot of places I don't think kids should go, so I guess this could all be very unpopular.

Our Black Friday's are pretty tame around here and we will only go before her normal bedtime. We will not stand out in the cold or anything like that. I have no desire for my child to be injured or anything like that. It will just be easier to get this one particular item with both of us as opposed to just one or me with her on Friday, because DH works. We shall see. Obviously things change a lot in my household so by Thursday evening I may not be going anywhere.

pharmer78 · November 2013

My super ridiculous FF(monday)C is that ever since our Elfster matches were sent out, I totally feel like my match is my new BFF. Even though she has no idea we are awesome pals yet! But every post/response I see from her I think, "yep, that's my buddy!"

Pokedot · November 2013

Since we can do confessions here a few:

1. We found out that DH's ex-girlfriend still lives in town. I'm surprised we haven't seen her out and about. We live in such a small town. I found out that after she saw Bennett's birth announcement she had a meltdown at work and had to have her dad come calm her down. A: You're 35 years old get over it. B: You kind of treated DH like shit, therefore he broke up with you. C: You sound batshit crazy. I have no remorse for laughing when I heard this. Girl be crazy.

2. I was at Walmart on lunch and purposely went in the self checkout so I could pay for my condoms without judgement. I hid them in my cart behind fish oil pills and then I proceeded to use a coupon for $1 off my Trojans. I am 28 years old and can't get over buying condoms. Sad but true.

3. We have 2 christmas trees in our house. One in the main living room that you can see clearly from the sidewalk and another in the basement. The basement tree will be our family tree that we put the kids ornaments on and make it a hodge podge of things. I like my beatiful silver, gold and cream tree in the window that I can decorate to the nines and show it off as people drive by. I also love my hodge podge tree because I know it'll create wonderful memories as the kids grow up. I'm glad I'm able to have both.

mrsbhk22 · November 2013

FFMC: I love playing early 2000s rap for LO on the car. Her current favorite is Ms New Booty by Bubba Sparks. She loves the bass.

Sadly, I can't play it in the car with the boys. I overheard DS2 (4yrs old) singing "booty booty booty, rockin everywhere" while playing independently.

BeebopandBuddy · November 2013

@indigovader That is a little creepy considering what's in the box in Seven.

FFMC: I've thought several times today about sexting DH since we are supposed to be trying to spice up our sex life. However, I keep chickening out because I don't want to start something that I might not feel like finishing later. #sexlifeimprovementfail

mrsbhk22 · November 2013

@pokedot I feel you on the condom purchases. I still get embarrassed buying pregnancy tests. So thankful for the Internet now!

mrsbhk22 · November 2013

Ohhhh: another FFMC/UO

I've never read / watched any twilight, hunger games, or shades of gray books / movies.

I bought a pregnancy test 2 weeks ago. For some reason I just "had a feeling" even though it would be like emaculate conception (pill and virtually no sex.) I bought it up to the pharmacy counter while picking up my BC. Nice right? Hahaha I bought the condoms for DH's stocking. He'll open that in the privacy of just us however!

I often wonder when I"m going to have to stop listening to inappropriate songs. It will be a sad day.

BeebopandBuddy · November 2013

Well I guess my UO would be I don't give a fuck what any cashier at any retail store thinks of my purchases. Condoms, pregnancy tests, lube, whatever. I don't care. I really doubt that they care either.

I don't live in a small town though, so I can see why that might make a difference.

Yeah, I know. I have issue, I don't deny that.

I think it's funny, but I'm hoping he hasn't seen the movie?

redneckmomma25 · November 2013

I want two trees so I can do a pretty themed tree and still have my mish mosh of ornaments from my childhood. One day I will.

tinyhumantoe · November 2013

I call everyone in my household (including LO) by their "stripper names". First childhood pet + childhood street.

I'm Muffin Hollister. She's Willy Papoola (changed a bit so you stalkers won't know my street name). DH is Mariah Jenny.

I crack myself up.

I must know what kind of childhood pet Mariah was.

I want to do the gift exchange

I got bombarded by work last week. Sigh.

Peewee River would be my name with that formula...I think it might limit my audience/fan base a little too much

redneckmomma25 · November 2013

My stripper name would be snoopy market....or bear market...

No joke.

FFMC:

I think the tackier the Christmas decorations = the better. I was hoping to string some popcorn to put on the tree, but it didn't happen this year.

DH and I have never used a condom and don't plan on it. The way they smell is a huge turn off to me.

THANK YOU! DH got mad that I laughed so hard at that one! It was a dog

Although, I had a cat named Henrietta Dandelion.

Someday I'll grow up to be you! ;P

tinyhumantoe · November 2013

I could laugh all day at these stripper names
:P

I prefer condoms to bc. It's cheaper and easier cleanup for me. I don't spend a lot of time sniffing them before we use them. Although....... durex do have less of an odor than trojan.

Hyaline · November 2013

There's this obnoxiously rude cashier at our Target. She's just unpleasant--like to the extent that I once was just trying to be nice and said something about how it got cold really suddenly and she rolled her eyes and said "what else is new." And aside from that, she's curt and short and impolite. It's clear she just wants to scan the shit and be done and interact as little as possible with other humans. Fine, but don't be a rude twat.

I kind of want to start loading up my cart with awkward items and then force her into conversation about them in retaliation. Like "Oh, hey, those ribbed ones--have you used them? Do they work well? I've been looking for something to spice things up--is this lube as good as they claim it is?"

We have a mega pack from Amazon right now, and there are some random scented/flavored ones in there. Everytime I open one I think "Please be fruity! Please be fruity!"

BeebopandBuddy · November 2013

Mine's not cute. Dexter Newmarket- sounds like an executive, not a stripper. Oh well.

Sorry Willy, I actually didn't even read yours before posting mine. No connection, it was just on my mind.

Mine is Chip Clover. Which is horrible. Unless you're a male stripper, in which case it's awesome.

If we went current pet and street name, I'm Sophie Biscuit Washington, which I think is pretty fabulous.
