@elsa1688 Yup that's how I got engaged! We knew we liked each other before he asked (he has such beautiful baby blue eyes, to my brown, made my heart do flip flops:) )and there are boyfriends and girlfriends sometimes, but it's not really encouraged because feelings can cloud judgement and the Spirit's leading. What I miss... Hmm I'll have to think about it. I am a total nerd! We grew up with the Star Wars trilogy and I still will totally freak out about Star Wars stuff and other nerdy like things. My DH was born and raised Mennonite, so he's never seen them (except I think I have showed him some like on the computer and such) and just rolls his eyes at my obsession. he's learned a lot from me lol! Hobbies for me right now are pretty much taking care of my family, but I love going swimming (not in dresses, just normal swim suits) riding bike, hiking, I LOVE working at my in-laws green house when it's the season. My SIL goes snowmobiling and snowboarding when she goes home to where she grew up (she was from Canada before she married DHs brother). Lucky duck...
Also, I can't wait to watch the Lifetime remake of Flowers in the Attic tomorrow night. I remember watching the Kristie Swanson version with my mom and my sister when I was little and thinking it was so scary (there wasn't much in the sister/brother incest in that version, either)... I'm totally going to watch while DH is at work.
That book caused so much controversy at my high school. The school board ended up banning it because so many parents were freaking out about us reading it.
Ha! I have never read it, but I could see why!
My mother didn't read it, either, so didn't know about all the incest when she watched the movie with us. She was shocked a few weeks ago when I told her, and kind of mortified that she sat us down to watch it.
I thought it was worse that she had us watch a movie about a mom slowly poisoning her kids with arsenic, but you know, whatever. No big deal, lol.
@emilyh107 dang it i want a white cherry icee so bad now
Me, too. Like I am contemplating getting out of bed to go get one. I just called 7-11 right now and they only have mango flavor in sugar-free. Guess I will go to sleep now.
@LizMO5 Ohmigawsh I want to come spend a week with you. I tell my husband allllll the time that I want to be totally old school and forego everything technological and convenient and go convert so we can lead simpler, more spiritually pleasing lives. He might be down if he knew he could still use the internet. LOL!
Nope, I'm from the middle of nowhere in Nebraska. But there are some of our group of Mennonites there, but also a lot of different branches or denominations.
My DH's sister married a guy that was raised old order Amish. Like the no electricity, horse and buggy, no phones type. He joined this Church when he was older, I can't remember exactly how old, without any of his family.
@joules235 this no poo thing is fascinating to me. I have greasy roots dry ends issues and it drives me insane, plus my hair is pretty long and wavy and gets frizzy, I wear it up a lot because it is unmanageable. I am going to try this but I think I will wait until I am off on Maternity leave for work reasons. I hate shampoo and I hate having to wash my hair all the time. Thanks a bunch for the info
@Lindsleigh77 Since you mention having wavy, unmanageable hair I would also look into the Curly Girl Method. It is also no-poo, but with a focus on cultivating natural waves and curls.
also unrelated to the no poo thing... I thought I was over this morning sickness crap but last night after dinner I got so nauseas and puked so hard I have little red dots all over my face and around my eyes. I feel gross anyone else have this happen to them.
@Lindsleigh77 Ugh! Sorry you aren't feeling good! Yes, the red dots are broken capillaries from the forcefulness of the vomiting - totally normal. They should go away in a day or two. Feel better soon!
I'm at Walmart buying cheese, salsa, and taco shells so I can have cheese quesadillas. I'm also buying banana pudding because I've been craving it for days.
When I read posts about food I have to have them!! I've been eating turkey sandwiches all week!!! I guess I'll be also having banana pudding !
I went to Motherhood Maternity yesterday and got three things that I thought would be fabulous with some clothes I already had. Turns out to be a major fail and I need to return them. The store is an hour away.
Apparently being super excited to go pick out nursery paint colors = being in a hurry....shut up BF and BUY MY PAINT! And apparently my vaj looks like a mom vaj....I shaved it for the first time in like a month...probably two months....you're welcome BF.
Your vagina is on the inside. Just throwing that out there!
I HATE dh's name suggestions, HATE... with a passion. There is no way we're going to compromise anytime soon. The last two were so easy, I don't know where these ideas are coming from. Last time he told me to give him my top two (of each, since we were team green) and he chose one of each, so easy. This time he read my list (pretty, classic) wanted to give me a list of his own, ugh....

Every time I puke I get the broken capillaries under my eyes

Picture of DH and I on top of Mayan ruins, Altun Ha, in Belize
I keep stalking Jan and Feb birth months for birth stories, baby pictures and HDBD photos. I want to know what our bumps will look like by then and I can't wait for baby pictures.
Also I'm watching Pirates of the Caribbean right now. I forgot how much I love these movies.

Dislike! I have them all over, boooo! Either way not fun times. Sorry lady
DH and I are supposed to be doing a clean up day today.. The place is a mess. One of the guys from his unit calls and asks if he wants to go mudding.. And this ass says yes then proceeds to get dressed. Are you kidding me?! So I made him call right back and tell him he can't go because he has to clean up. He said I'm being a bitch.. I don't care what he says cause he's staying his ass here and cleaning the apartment.
I bought some sour patch kids at the grocery store yesterday because you ladies reminded me how delicious these candies are. You make my life so much better.
H just went mountain biking and will be gone for a good 3 hours. I think I am going to change the sheets, do some laundry, and empty the dishwasher. He is going to flip his shit when he gets back and wonder who I am and where his wife went!
MIL is trying to steal my date night, AGAIN. She wants H to take her to a movie at the discount theater. I told her I wanted H to take me since we didnt do ANYTHING for our 10 yr anniversary last week. She argued with me for 10 minutes about American Hustle not playing in theaters. She says it wasn't playing because the paper didn't show it playing. I got on my phone and showed her Fandango says it was and she STILL didn't believe me. She just doesn't want H taking me out. Bitch.
I have a migrane anyway, so whatever. :P
You have such an odd duck for a MIL. Has she always been that clingy with your DH?

No!! She didn't even raise him. Didn't want anything to do with him growing up. But now that she's alone (her H died) she seeks attention from him!!
Thats so weird. Do you think she'll get worse after your baby comes? Or that she'll focus more of her energy on the baby rather than your DH?
Re: Randoms Go Here
Yup that's how I got engaged! We knew we liked each other before he asked (he has such beautiful baby blue eyes, to my brown, made my heart do flip flops:) )and there are boyfriends and girlfriends sometimes, but it's not really encouraged because feelings can cloud judgement and the Spirit's leading.
What I miss... Hmm I'll have to think about it. I am a total nerd! We grew up with the Star Wars trilogy and I still will totally freak out about Star Wars stuff and other nerdy like things. My DH was born and raised Mennonite, so he's never seen them (except I think I have showed him some like on the computer and such) and just rolls his eyes at my obsession.
Hobbies for me right now are pretty much taking care of my family, but I love going swimming (not in dresses, just normal swim suits) riding bike, hiking, I LOVE working at my in-laws green house when it's the season. My SIL goes snowmobiling and snowboarding when she goes home to where she grew up (she was from Canada before she married DHs brother). Lucky duck...

I've noticed they (thongs) were backwards a few times, and once, sideways. How did I not know for half the morning? ??

H came down from bed and my first question was, "If our baby has a tail, we'll get it removed, right?"
Also I'm watching Pirates of the Caribbean right now. I forgot how much I love these movies.
