@poru - You should make them hire you a makeup artist for free

KatieGummow · February 2014

@poru, You're absolutely not being ridiculous. You will know you were pregnant in the picture. You really are beautiful and I don't know what you're talking about with the mask, but it doesn't matter what I think. I would allow them to put that photo temporarily up but that you would want it changed when you come back (if they desperately want to change all the photos).

KatieGummow · February 2014

MegJ17, Yay! I am glad it is making you excited. I am super apprehensive about this whole thing, too. It is what it is, I suppose, and we will rock it.

I should have just tested shoveling before I geared up and worried about it. There is no way in hell my pregnant butt is shoveling inches of heavy snow. Now to finish off that bag of Doritos....

Hahaha, good for you

Here is my fav pic of the girls.

My next door neighbors has about 3 outdoor cats and I always feel so bad for them. I'm tempted to leave my garage door cracked with a space heater running at night so they can have some warmth during the really cold nights. I secretly want a cat so I wonder if I put food out there, they might hangout here more

I'm a twin. I have a twin brother. We got along great for a long time. He was pretty shy and I was out going. I was also a goodie and he really liked to test his limits. Our first class together was in high school.

I almost missed this. Thanks for sharing! Did you two do sports together or anything?

Cecilbear · February 2014

Ooh! I ordered lunch (taco salad!) an hour ago and I think the snow is holding the delivery guy up. I am about to pass out from hunger.

snowbound · February 2014

Ugh! I love winter but I am ready for it to be over! This whole "ice storm" and not having any electricity is really annoying. I've been without power for for hours!

I am on the caboose end of April-- so I am JUST now starting to get out of breath- doing nothing. Last night, I couldn't catch my breath for over 20 minutes, tried standing, stretching to move baby and literally started the verge of a panic attack... I got so upset knowing this will be a more regular occurrence. Kept reminding myself "people do this all the time, this is normal, etc" but was just upsetting to me. So, I took a bath and calmed down.

Thanks all! Good to know I am not being an irrational pregnant woman. I do think I look pretty right now. I just think I look very "mom" like. Not really a characteristic people look for when they hire an attorney

I know what you mean! Not on a professional level, but every time we go out, I feel like I just look so MATERNAL. And these random breakouts aren't helping. I think I may really try making an effort this weekend--hair, makeup, the whole shebang.

Miss504NOLA · February 2014

T&Ps for everyone dealing with loss or a sick child. That always makes me sad.

Congratulations for everyone with new jobs that are better than their old ones! Prayers for everyone who are still waiting to hear back on potential jobs.

For everyone with upcoming birthdays cake and fondue are good options. For my birthday in December, I had turtle fondue with my SO and a variety of Gigi's cupcakes for myself. It was the best.

Cake for A14!

I'm here!!! No work today so snuggling my dog on the couch watching extreme couponing. Also he has fish breath.
The other day I mentioned to my husband that our dog's breath smelled like shit. Literal shit, not just bad. Last night I let him out to pee and stood by the window and watched him for fun. Little fucker was following little rabbit prints in the snow and eating every rabbit turd he could find, one little ball at a time. Mystery solved!

Our dog is a frozen poop eater and it makes me so mad! Sooooo disgusting.

JoelleOK · February 2014

If I had some depends in the house, I'd put a pair on right now. Coughing + sneezing + LO kicks = changing my pants all the time.
I miss breathing through my nose. I miss NyQuil.

Mamamonzo · February 2014

I'm sorry the nobody like my donuts thread is obnoxious.

kseccomb17 · February 2014

Some of the threads today.. 8-}

eireyes · February 2014

@dani+california and @LoriMc12 My parent's first dog was a rabbit poop eater too! The vet suggested that we put hot sauce on the poop so the dog would get a nasty surprise when he ate it. Too bad the dog actually liked the hot sauce - the vet just laughed and said the dog must be thinking thanks for the extra seasoning!

Mamamonzo · February 2014

I would be so happy if no one ate them. More for me!

ETA: it's taking everything in me not to reply with something snarky. Must. Bite. Tongue.

deidremaria, hearing this makes me so so excited, thank you for sharing It sounds like being a twin is so much fun! If you think of any more tips don't be afraid to let me know, I am willing to take all the advice I can get.

This makes me feel much better! I think I'm finally getting excited about the twins. I was excited before but I think I was freaking out too much to let me get really excited.

Oh and they'll always be entertained because they'll always have each other. I meant to add; when they fight, stay out of it unless it's super serious. My mom had to learn the hard way to just let my sister and I work stuff out on our own. We didn't fight much but if we did our mom would go crazy and try to get us to work it out on her time but twins ALWAYS work it out, sooner than you expect too.

Cecilbear · February 2014

Now I just really want a donut

Miss504NOLA · February 2014

For everyone choosing to use cloth diapers, if you buy two diapers on lotusbumz.com, you get one free using keekoo as a coupon code. I don't know much about CD, but just thought I'd share. It expires 2/11/14.

sking72 · February 2014

I read the donuts thread and thought it was funny, but then realized she was actually upset about it...
SO and I were awake super early today and had to wait til 7 for the bakery to open. And then we got seven donuts. Two are left. They won't last more than a couple hours.

KatieGummow · February 2014

@poru, it's your birthday?! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, pretty lady!

(Let's be honest here....)

deidremaria · February 2014

Fuck! Now I want donuts and donuts are hard to come by around here.

sking72 · February 2014

Also surprised the push present thread didnt get any snark the last time I read it

Miss504NOLA · February 2014

I think I'll be making a drive to DD instead of Krispy Kreme, since it's closer. I can't resist.

Stace0616 · February 2014

I eat a doughnut off the fucking GROUND if it was unclaimed!!!

Its tomorrow Best birthday pic ever.

Damn, I really fudged up this time. Well, happy early birthday! Plans? Dinner? Cake?

pineconey · February 2014

This morning I walked out with no coat. I thought to myself "it's a little chilly, but not bad" started driving, glanced at the temp gauge and saw 14F. Well...

I thought it was just me getting irritated by it. I should have known better than to even click on the thread

is it really about someone not eating donuts she brought in? if so I'm glad I haven't opened it.

@poru you're not being silly. Yes, it shouldn't matter. But does it? Yes! People judge books by their cover, and use photos on websites to make knee-jerk gut reactions as to whether or not they want to give you their business. I know you look gorgeous, and it's probably only a difference you're seeing (meaning if I saw a portrait of I you I wouldn't think pregnant) but you don't want to take a picture where you feel you aren't looking your best that could be on your website for years.

deidremaria · February 2014

There's no pleasing me. When my bf was here everyday I wanted him at work. Now that he's back at work I miss him so much. I feel so lonely when he goes to work.

HAHA to stop my dogs digging along the fence line I read cayenne pepper is a good deterrent and my dog F'ing loved it!!!!! Started licking the ground. Also the bitter apple spray that's supposed to deter chewing he would lick off the sides of the tables and legs where we sprayed it. Some dogs are just ridiculous. I look at other peoples dogs and see how awesome and well behaved they are and I wonder is it me? Do I cause crazy dogs? I'm pretty sure it's a yes.

I often think the same thing - I cause crazy dogs. All the dogs my parents have owned have always been a little extra goofy around me. DH's and my dog is the same way, although I think he's even nuttier around DH

JessieAlbin · February 2014

I don't want to do adult things now that I am home from the doctor. I want to celebrate an uneventful appointment by eating marshmallow crispy Oreos and watching Netflix on the couch. The grocery store and calling customer service are calling my name and I have zero motivation.. Get movin', self!!

snmetz7 · February 2014

@kendracoleslaw I aim to please:)

pineconey · February 2014

Boss said to "drop everything" to work on this project that is pushing a deadline because if his lack of preparation.... So I set my phone on my desk to check Facebook rather than holding it. That's what "drop everything" means... Right?

In actuality, I'm finishing a project that I had already vowed to finish today. Minimal screwing around.
