@tallab - Mussels are worse. People order them three tables over at a restaurant and it pisses me off all night. I cannot understand how that stench is appetizing!
Have a monkey face. |)
You will never see me in a seafood restaurant - so I will take your word that mussels are worse!!
Can I add a waffle maker to my baby registry for the shower i'm throwing myself?? I really want cinnamon roll waffles.

I would be sad if DH hated salmon like that. He's never been a big seafood fan but since he met me he has been learning. We eat salmon pretty often. It's just so easy to make and so good!

Oww I burned my hand because I grabbed a pot handle, right outta the 400 degree oven. Ouch. I now have blisters, and doubt I'll be able to function at work tomorrow without some serious pain Maybe DH will get me cinnamon rolls to make me feel better...? Lol

I actually REALLY wish I liked fish. But, I hate it. Especially livingq so close to the ocean with such good fish. But no. That and eggs. I wish I loved eggs. :-/
When aren't baby shower threads a clusterfuck? Don't ask for people's opinions if you want to go for it. Just do it, why give a shit what anyone else has to say? What does my opinion mean to someone 5000 kms away, really.
On that note-happy V-Day @BIRL! Woot woot
Thanks! And I totally agree with your opinion, dani. I'm big on opinions today.

Getting annoyed with the school closings posts on FB. Seriously, if you live in MI/WI/MN, you should have assumed Friday that you'd have to figure out arrangements for your kids Monday since ALL anyone has been talking about is how its going to be -40.
I'm seriously excited they cancelled school tomorrow, I have no desire to wake up early and am happy to have one more day to sleep in. I just went outside to get something out of my van, the snow is up to my knees and still coming down hard. DH took a ruler to our front yard and it's currently at 15".
Just spent forever making peanut butter blossom cookies and I don't even like them! I think I deserve an amazing wife prize...my back is killing me now
Alright cat people. As previously mentioned I have my best friends cat while she's in Florida for a few months. She said if it became a problem her mom would take the cat, but the cat that her mom has isn't exactly fond of this one. I'm giving the cat another chance before I send her over there though. I've had her here for 3 weeks and she will not stop scratching my couches. I've covered them in sheets and blankets and she still climbs underneath them just to scratch the couch. I have a scratching post. I've sprayed her with a water bottle. Basically all that's done is made her nocturnal. She sleeps in my room all day and then comes out at night when no one is awake to scratch the shit out of my couches and wakes me up. Any advice??
Did your friend not leave you a scratching post for kitty? Walmart/Target/KMart-type places usually have fairly cheap ones for about $20. If the cat doesn't seem interested in it, try rubbing a bit of catnip over it to attract kitty. That's how we stopped our cat from tearing up stuff.
A14 Siggy Challenge (November): Favorite Fall Smell
We have like a million inches of snow here. I've been drinking snow drinks alllll day. Pouring juice or pop over snow makes it just like a slurpee yum!
And I can't forget snow ice cream!
I'm jealous - we didn't get any snow, just rain. We'll still get the frigid temps though... Boo.
I'm watching Dateline, and the first story about housing in big cities made me angry for all the parents that are fighting their landlords just to provide a safe and healthy place for their kids who have asthma because of said housing.
Now the second story is about kids who feel like plastic surgery is the only way to end bullying when it comes to their looks. Why are kids so mean? I know I was bullied some in middle school, but I never thought anyone had it that bad...
My momma bear is starting to show - all of this makes me so angry and sad!
I'm debating going in or not... I have SOOOO much to do, and am already using 4hrs of PTO on Thursday for my first appt with the new perinatal specialist and follow-up ultrasound. It's so tempting to call in though.
Maybe I'll just have some ice cream and call it a night. LOL!
Huge seafood fan here. Also very good cook. And I live next to the ocean and get the good stuff. But I almost never cook seafood in the house because the smell. Yuck.
It doesn't smell if you take the trash out immediately and do the dishes right after dinner. Both of which we do, and never bother with the smell.
DH does the dishes BEFORE dinner (major eyeroll and pet peeve). I just feel like the fish smell gets stuck in the oven and in the air. We cook seafood on the BBQ a lot though. And I'll do an occasional good quality white fish like Chilean sea bass as it has a less fishy smell. Maybe I am just sensitive.

We live in MI, and we're used to shitty roads... Even worse than what we have today. DH has to work tonight and goes in at midnight... I hate hate hate the thought of him driving in this crap. I'm starting to have a panic attack
All this talk of breakfast foods is making me want a box of Toaster Strudels. I haven't allowed myself to eat one in YEARS, but hot damn do I love them.
Update: just ate cookie butter for the first time. Why did I not know about this heavenly food sooner?!! What should I put it on? I would feel way too guilty eating it with a spoon from the jar.
Does anyone watch Ultimate Survivor Alaska on National Geographic? No joke, one guy fell and I almost peed myself I was so scared for him. I'm obsessed with this show, how did I just find out about it?!
I made raspberry swirl rolls for the shower I hosted yesterday. Like cinnamon rolls, but with raspberries instead of cinnamon. They were yummy!
I don't love fish smells, but I can handle it. What I cannot handle right now is this overwhelming paint smell I'm going to die! My husband and his friend out another coat of primer on the walls of he baby room tonight, and the smell is suffocating me! I'm sitting in the living room (opposite end of he house) with the front door and the window open.
I don't know why I keep torturing myself by drinking real milk. I love it and am really wanting it a lot this pregnancy, but it messes me up so bad. I just ate a bowl of cereal and I am already paying for it.
Just ugly cried for a few minutes because my favorite pajama pants have been placed in the "maybe after baby pile." That pile gets bigger by the day. Sort of like my ass.
Preschool starts back for DD tomorrow....I'm happy about it and looking forward to a quiet 4 hours tomorrow morning. I think getting back into our normal routine will help with some of the behavior issues we had the past 2 weeks.

BIRL, I actually found them on Pinterest, but I didn't make her exact recipe because I made a deferent dough, but basically make whatever dough recipe you choose, and then after you roll it out, mix a bag of frozen raspberries with 1/4 plus 2 Tbs sugar and a tsp of cornstarch for the filling. Spread it over the dough, roll it up and slice. I cooked it at 375 for about 20 min, but the recipe says 425, and then top with glaze. Yum! https://shopgirlmaria.blogspot.ca/2012/09/raspberry-swirl-rolls.html?m=1
