I've never liked mayo. I actually even mix my tuna with mustard. It looks disgusting but tastes amazing. Mustard is the condiment of the gods.

this is me 100%

I love ALL the mustards I have like 4 kinds in my fridge

Lube has an expiration date. Hmmm.

What I love most about this, is that you actually check the lube for exp dates.

I plan on ordering a bunch too! Is it bad that I'm only looking forward to the shortbread cookies? I'm one of the weirdos who isn't a huge thin mint fan.

Not intentionally... just laying sick-ish in bed and saw the bottle's bottom. But now that I know...

Really though, I'm not sure what expired lube even means.

I think it means you get crotch rot and then it falls off.

I thought it was silly for Starbucks to have a caramel flan latte. How different could it be from a caramel latte? But it is in fact, very delicious.

Good thing you mentioned Girl Scout cookies. I need to get DD's order in today. Almost forgot.

Good for you. I'd do the same but I can see where she's coming from at the same time. If we didn't wait as long as we did and money were more of an issue I would be disappointed I couldn't have a shower I was planning on.

Money is tight for us but I can't expect people to get us stuff when they can't physically come to a shower and we can't afford to fly all the way to Hawaii or Oregon to have a party.
When it comes down to it, I completely understand where that OP is coming from but I would never just post links to registries on Facebook and expect everyone else to buy us stuff.
It's disappointing but I've accepted it and have taken the responsibility and welcome anyone that offers to help.
Woah sorry for the rants! I think reading all of the baby shower threads have built up in me!

You're my fav bumpie of the morning so far. Rant on sister!

mrscrcalli · January 2014

My dr said these words after my GD test just now .. "Go have an egg mcmuffin or two they will get you some fast protein" my eyes lit up like Christmas.. Don't have to tell me twice, Drs orders!

Maybe it becomes less lubricating?

It can start to grow stuff.

jennypenny1014 · January 2014

All this shower talk reminds me of three things: 1) I stink and should probably bathe today. 2) I desperately need to do laundry so that I'm not putting stinky cloths back on after aforementioned bathing. 3) I should probably make a registry myself to remind me of all the new shit we're gonna need to get for this child (and for the discount/cash back!)

I tried to catch up! Got as far as jimmy johns... yay for you guys making my lunch decisions! #12 beach club here I come. Also I have seen those breast milk booze test strips on an episode of the league and I fully intend to buy those. Because this lady wants a drink and bad.

Glad i could be of service today. The #12 also had my eye, I always get the #9. Maybe it's time to branch out and try something new.

It's only 11, but I'm already thinking about lunch. Pretty sure it's going to be a Jimmy Johns kind of day today. #9 with extra hot peppers please. Yes.

WERE TWINS. That's all I get there, omg. No mayo on mine though... Mayo weirds me out.

Now I want Jimmy Johns, lol.
I had a super craving for JJ the other day and ugly cried at work with my door shut when I found out they don;t deliver to me at work

They dont deliver to my work OR to my house... its like, juuuuust in the middle and just out of area. It's the worst ever. I could totally eat them every day. That, sushi and mexican, and I'd be one happy pregnant lady, lol.

T&Ps please! There's a fast moving/growing brush fire in Glendora CA near my home town. My family is safe but there have already been multiple structures burned, at least one injury, and 200+ acres burned. My high school was evacuated and may be threatened by the fire as we speak. It's moving down the foothills and into the neighborhoods now and the smoke/ash is traveling all across SoCal, the plumes can be seen by satellite all the way across through Long Beach and the pacific.

YIKES! T&Ps for all the affected people.

kateleestar · January 2014

@aviola329 My uncle can see the smoke from his house... That's so crazy. Be safe!!

AW Alert:

My Endocrinologist just emailed me with my lab results from yesterday. My A1C levels have dropped down to 5.8%. They were at 13.2 (ish, can't remember the exact #) in October. This means my pancreas may have decided to stop being a lazy asshole. I'm currently taking a shit ton of insulin with meals and an even bigger dose at bedtime, but if my #'s continue to drop I more than likely won't need anything after delivery and will be able to control the diabetes with diet and exercise alone. And, I may be able to back off on the amount of insulin once I hit the 3rd trimester.

I have never had Jimmy Johns...I might try something new today!!

irisheyez7 · January 2014

I pretty much want to write "I just don't get it" on like everyother thread on here today. Bitchiness in the shower thread? =;
Facebook is NICER? :-@
I just don't get it...

No one has offered to throw me a shower so until/unless someone does I expect to have to buy stuff for my kid myself. I'm not sure why people get so stuck on the idea that other people should be financially supporting thier choice to have a baby. Sure its nice to have a shower and we are poor too but if I don't get one then we will shop Craig'slist rather then boutiques...life goes on.
I don't think people who are on the receiving end of a shower are looking to have others 'financially support their choice to have a baby'. I agree that no one should expect one, but just because you GET one doesn't mean you're automatically looking to score free shit you wouldn't have otherwise just bought for yourself.

I totally agree with this. My sisters are throwing me a shower and I'm still buying a lot of my own stuff. They keep yelling at me to wait until after the shower but I'm like "WTF you plan on having a shower when I'm 37 weeks pregnant. Do you really think I wanna spend the last three weeks oft pregnancy shopping for baby stuff?" Of course I'm incredibly grateful that they are throwing one but i did not register and don't plan to (because I'm sure none of the cash back perks apply in the VI) and even if I did, the guests are gonna get what they want so yea.

Dh would eat at Potbellys 3 times a day if I let him! After his college graduation his family wanted to go to dinner and told him to pick any place he wanted. He picked Potbellies :-/

Can I vent for a second? So I'm try not to get down about the job situation, but I feel like such a bad person today. Either I'm putting in applications for jobs that deserve a full-time employee who WON'T be leaving in 3 (or less) months or collecting unemployment for not working. I didn't get severance, so I need the money to pay for health insurance and groceries for our family.

I have been babysitting since I was 12, got my first real job at 14 at Culver's, worked retail while putting myself through college, and had a job within a month of graduation. I KNOW deep down I shouldn't feel guilty about my situation, but I can't help it. I've been overcompensating with housework to prove to myself that I'm not just sitting around all day, but then my sciatica kicks in and I'm sidelined for the rest of the day/night.

Any encouragement would be appreciated :-S I just feel like such a loser today.

natpirt · January 2014

Had my 3 hr test today, and fruit punch was not my flavor. 3 hours of feeling queasy and ready to eat and drink, after it was all said and done I just wanted to sleep. 14 hours of no eating all I can manage is a damn turkey sandwich and cheddar cheese pretzel combos.

Vent away, girl, vent away! I felt the same way when I first became a SAHM. I felt like a total loser for not working and even though I knew that financially it made (makes) better sense for me to stay home, it was still SO hard. I know your situation is different, but just know I'm thinking about you and wish you the best of luck!! *Hugs*

kseccomb17 · January 2014

Ahhh! My dad's girlfriend, who drives me bat shit crazy, just asked if my kids can call her grandma via text. I don't want them to call her grandma, and DD doesn't think of her as grandma. I don't know what to say back. Help!

fireflygirl12 · January 2014

I put a Kohl's PSA on the main board, but thought I would here too. Save 30% if you have a charge card with SAVEBIG30, 20% off $100+ with SNOW (without charge card) + $10 Kohl's cash for every $10 spent. Plus an extra 6% back through ebates.

I think I'm finally going to get my crib. They have pretty much everything BRU has.

Oh Stace, I am so sorry you're feeling like a loser! You are much more proactive than you are giving yourself credit for. You are not a loser. You are a pregnant goddess/rockstar! Try to enjoy this time off without putting too much pressure on yourself. Good job getting yourself right back out there and applying for jobs, but when your body tells you to rest, do not feel bad for doing so!!

I'm sorry you feel like this today. You totally shouldn't feel guilty. If it makes you feel any better I'm unemployed by choice. This isy first time since I was a teenager being unemployed. I resigned from my job because I was unhappy and there were a lot of other factors but I do have days where I feel useless and like a loser. I have to reminds self that I am still going to school and will soon have a baby to devote my time to. Chin up Stace, you didn't choose this.

I completely get what you're saying but like @dani+california said, I don't think people receiving showers feel that way. I'm fortunate to have one being thrown for me by my MIL but I still think it's my responsibility to purchase most items and, more importantly, the bigger ones. My MIL has a different view, she expects people at the shower to buy most of everything and gets an attitude when I purchase things. I've had to resort to hiding my purchases, which is becoming a pain in the ass.
