I always laugh a little when things are written phonetically and it's obvious the writer has no idea how to actually spell what they are trying to write, or they think it's correct. I had a friend who always used to write sufficive to say instead of suffice it to say. Drove me crazy
Or "would of"/"could of"/"should of" instead of "would've"/"could've"/"should've."
Or "for all intensive purposes" #-o Uh...no.
April 2014 May Siggy Challenge: Funny Animals- Kangaroo Mating Ritual
Yes! Scored a new Kate Spade bed set for $100! Thanks to a clearance at Bed Bath and Beyond, their coupons, and a birthday gift card from MIL!
Our old bed is the new guest bed, and we've been without a duvet since the dog ripped the last one. But now that it's the guest bed it's time for something new!
The best part is the new guest room (turning the old one into the nursery) is already painted in a gradient orange stripe with a Caribbean blue accent wall. The bedding couldn't be more perfect!
Yes, I'm in total nesting mode, but very little of it has to do with the baby at this point. Bad mother, party of one.

Holy catalogue room, @biggerinreallife .. Way to make me wanna start decorating my house!
Ha ha @JessieAlbin, that is from a catalog. I copied the picture from the website to show the bedding off. Our comforter insert just went to the cleaners, and I need to refinish the headboard and baseboard and reattach it to the bed. But the wall color is the same! Watch, instead of a nursery reveal I'm going to end up doing a guest room reveal.

I don't really understand Justin Timberlake's "TKO" song. He keeps saying it's a TKO, but then he says he's down for the count or out for the count or something like that.
Dude, if you're down for the count, that is SO NOT a TKO.
I was without the weird pregnancy dreams for awhile, but, then they came back with a force the past two nights! I kind of love them (except in the first tri when all of them seemed to be about me getting murdered.)
This is going to sound really dumb...Does baby movement feel like a weird wriggling fish in your belly? It's either baby or I'm dying, right? Damn anterior placenta making me behind the curve in feeling anything!
Totally feels exactly like this, I think. At first, I wanted to move like it was too weird and I wanted to make it stop. Now that I know what it is, I want it to constantly go! So, I think you felt some baby!! :-)
Thanks preg-somnia. I woke up at 3:30 and finally admitted defeat just before 5. DH couldn't sleep either, so we are both wide awake at this ridiculous hour. I'm seriously considering taking a half day. I have a meeting at 7:30, and I'm supposed to drop in on one of my sites at like 4, but I can hardly function on 8 hours of sleep right now, let alone 5!

April 14 August Siggy Challenge- "This time last year.."
This. I guess it's my fault though. I had the grand idea to go to Starbucks at 8am this morning after my final at 7:00am (WTF). Feel like I did pretty good and thought I would reward myself. When is the last time you went to Starbucks at 8am? It's god awful. I hated everyone. Since it's deathly cold this morning, I decided to do the drive thru but got cut off twice so decided I would just go in. Line was up until the door.
I actually waited it out.
Almost slipped on ice walking back. My irrational anger made me wish I could tell the assholes who cut me off "SEE, YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A PREGNANT WOMAN FALL DOWN FOR SOME DAMN COFFEE."
Then spilled half of my latte down the side of my car. How? Not quite sure.
And now my dog just ripped open one of DH's presents under the tree.
The new baby! I love it so so so so so much! Downside? My "bestfriend" is pretty much pissed that we got this car. Hubby LOVES cars. He's gone through like 5 in the last four months (just from trading back and fourth on craigslist, seeing what he can get. NEVER any money spent). My Cobalt is the only reliable car we had and I've been stuck home without a car for a long while. We had to have two reliable cars. Not that I owe him (bestfriend) an explanation. I don't even feel like we're friends anymore. I'm married with a baby on the way and he's pretty much in college party mode.
You know you had a good night's sleep when you wake up and you have no idea what day it is or why your alarm is going off.
Also, Santa needs to get his ass in gear, how is it less than 2 weeks until Christmas? I have to go out and buy some gifts this morning, but really I just want to snuggle on the couch and catch up on the DVR.
Trying to prep for a crazy busy day of work by coming in a little late (aka 9am) and getting doughnuts. We'll see if this works. My boss has been on a short fuse lately and is dumping way too much work on me this month. Just need to make it two more days dealing with him, so keep your fingers crossed please!
My Cobalt is the only reliable car we had and I've been stuck home without a car for a long while.
I... I don't even know how to respond to that, LOL. What year was it? DH had a '06 Cobalt when I met him (I'm the car person in our family, fyi) and ... it was the second worst car I've ever personally had to deal with (First was my '99 Sunfire, OMG.). Horrible awful car. We had to take it to the shop ELEVEN TIMES for the same thing under warranty, thank God... Once that warranty was up, we traded it in and were done with it. Had we been together in 2006, he wouldn't have gotten the first model year of a 'new' model, but... man. I don't think I'll ever own a GM again. I had thoughts of burning that car to the grouond in a parking lot..

It's an 07. It's the only car I've ever had that has no problems. I absolutely love it. When I had an Audi, I wanted to trade for a cobalt and almost did, but the stupid ass girl ran out of gas like 10 minutes after we parted ways, freaked out, and wanted the cobalt back. I was pissed. After I finally got rid of the Audi, I got a ford focus which was shit. Hubby surprised me with the cobalt after the focus crapped out. So now we have the cobalt and the fusion. My two favorite cars so far.
It drives me absolutely bonkers when people say they're eating cuties. They're clementines, people. Clementines. Cuties is the brand. How many times do you hear someone say they're going to have a chiquita? Or green giant? Or a handful of emeralds? I just don't get it... And now there's another brand of clementines out there just to confuse people even more.
I was just in the grocery store, and some lady was lamenting the fact that there were no more boxes of cuties. I told her to go over one aisle, and there were plenty of clementines in the bag yourself citrus. She looked at me like I had two heads. "Those aren't cuties." "No, they're not. They're clementines, which is what cuties actually are. And they're cheaper."
@tidymonster I say that I'm eating Oreos instead of cookies because Oreos are far superior than just cookies. likewise I say I'm eating Cuties because they are far superior clementines they are sweeter, easier to peel and have a slightly different taste.

Must. Be. Productive... Two weeks till Christmas and I haven't finished my crafty presents (or anything artistic for that matter). Eek! I can't waste another day off! But first, a snack..
I asked my friend if she and her boyfriend spank (yes I'm going there, deal with it!) their oldest daughter. I don't have a problem with parents who do, but I personally believe it better be for a serious reason - for example, I only got spanked when I put my life in danger. She told me "yes, we spank. I spanked her the other day for not letting me brush her hair." I can't even... it's just incredibly sad to me. Especially after learning a few days ago that her daughter is four and has never had a haircut - I'm assuming having her hair brushed hurts like hell! Go fucking cut your daughter's split ends off and maybe hair brushing won't be such an event that constitutes spanking. Hillbilly.
While I don't agree with spanking for that reason...my DD hasn't had her hair cut and she is 4, and she has curls. Brushing her doesn't hurt her any more than any other kid getting their hair brushed.
~Missed MC at 8 weeks. D&C at 12 weeks on 4/17/13~
Took 3 stores, but santa gifts are all purchased. Now I just need 3 more exchange gifts and stocking stuffers and I'm all done. Holy crap, I'm exhausted from walking through those stores.

I gave up and called in. I actually had a lot to do to day, but eff it. I have been awake since midnight with about 1.5 hours of sleep from 3:30-5 (when SO woke up for work and wondered what the hell I was doing on the couch.) I am useless today!

Ugh. Apparently it's a stupid people day.
do you use a square pan or round? I usually do round and am able to get two layers from one box. that way you have cake for later..
actually either way just do one box so you have more cake for you late :-P
