is this thing on? intro...

violetgin · February 2014

Way, way late to the game, I know. Long time lurker, first time poster. Had my LO a week early via 12/12 unplanned CS. Love this kiddo more than I could have ever imagined. Accountant. 34. Dallas. Purple. You ladies have provided me with so much info and entertainment over the last many months, but I'm shy so I'm only just now getting brave enough to post.

Eta: pretty much all the deets bc I managed to post prematurely. On my first post. That's not at all embarrassing. Gah.

violetgin · February 2014

I know. Major fail! LO is sleeping on one arm and I'm all Oh shit! But can only recover as fast as my one available arm will allow. Which is slow bc I have tendinitis I that wrist. So much for getting to be one of the cool kids....

violetgin · February 2014

Although I'm sure this super sex wrist brace would've excluded me anyway....

violetgin · February 2014

Yeah, I didn't create an account until then. And then it took me another month to get the courage to post an intro. Is there a emoticon for am awkward smile? That Goofy gif is pretty appropro!

Okay, but you have to pass the test:

1) How many alcoholic beverages do you consume in one week, and what kind?
I'm ebf so not drinking as much as I would like, but I do my best to get in a few glasses of red a week. I love them all.

2) Name your favorite dessert.
I have to pick ONE? So, I have a major addiction to truffles. My first car trip alone with LO was to my fave chocolate shop in Ft. Worth. And when I got there, they didn't have my favorite in stock, the sea salt carmel truffle. There are very few things I would rather have in my mouth than that truffle....I was still pretty hormonal and had to be all "it's not her fault, act like it's no big deal and then you can cry in the car" in my head. But really, all the desserts are welcome in my home.

3) Name your celeb crush. Points for PIP
Joseph Gorden-fucking-Levitt. Swoooon...

Mmmmnomnom, I love the Ghirardelli dark choc with raspberry filling squares. Give me a couple of those and I will be your friend for life. Or at least until the chocolate runs out.

Did you see Don Jon? His character was a douche for like 2/3 of the film, but I could watch that whole movie on mute and be largely entertained. LARGELY.

Whoo-hoo! Native? I've lived here since forever and even though I always thought I would move away, I've grown quite fond of it. Now I can't imagine leaving, I've even learned to deal with the gawdawful heat.

DH refused to watch it with me, so I waited for a day when he took the kids out and watched it alone...in bed. Bow chicka bow wow.

leahraewku · February 2014

In all seriousness, I did like the movie.

Lol, I liked the movie bc his character goes through this pretty awesome transformation and such. And I was pleasantly surprised to see Tony Danza make an appearance (childhood crush, can I get a wut), who is still lookin mighty fine. But either way, frankly, I'd fuck JGL so much.

Sort of, moved here in 7th grade. I live east of town. I'm also quite fond of it. And though I don't love the heat, I'll take it over the 2 feet of snow the other ladies are dealing with ANY.DAY.

Hello! I love those raspberry filled chocolates too!
This pic was too awkward not to post

THAT is all sorts of perfect.

cboink · February 2014

Meh, you seem okay...

violetgin · February 2014

Time to figure out what to do with this child that has passed out on me. The great debate on whether to change his diaper before bed and risk waking him fully - we CD but use sposies at night bc he's a super duper heavy wetter - or put him down now and risk leak city. Had I known he was going to pass out hardcore I would've been more proactive. Little man had his 2 month vaccines yesterday and he's been a little unpredictable today. I look forward to playing with y'all!

O-eM-gee look at those baby cheeks!! Squish.

He is a cutie!! Welcome!! Speaking of raspberry and chocolate... I found these amazing raspberry filled chocolate covered donuts!!

Yessssss, that sounds divine. I'm planning a trip to my favorite donut shop in the AM to get my fix. They also specialize in the most wonderful fresh made chicken biscuit sandwiches, my favorite of which features pepperjack, jalapeños, and whipped cream cheese. I'll just drop this here...

I wonder if I show that to DH if that would convince him to move to Texas. Used to live there and miss it so much.

Oh hi and another pass vote here. Texas, chocolate, and good taste in celebrities.

Thanks for the love errrrbody! LO's diaper change went smoothly, he barely even cracked an eye and he went straight down in his crib. HALLELUJAPRAISEJEBUS! I'm sure I'll be paying for it with an earlier than usual feeding, but I'll take it anyway!

Admit it, it was the. "What's up becs" post that brought you out wasn't it?

Hey, gurl, hey. What's your LO's name? (If you feel like sharing.) He's a cutie!

Thank ya kindly! It's Oliver. It was one of the few names we could agree on. My DH wanted Garth, but being raised in the Wayne's World generation, I had to shut that one down.

I kind of judge me too. After awhile it def felt a little on the creepy side. I think I just thought I didn't have a whole lot to contribute, being a FTM.... which is probably not true but you know, confidence issues and such. I'm working on it.

Said post was highly entertaining though, and I was kicking myself thinking that if I'd just have joined in when I first started reading I could have been part of the fun.

Yeah, so I'm totally in therapy....
