  This may be selfish but I really hate coming on time to my hair appointment and having to wait for them to finish up a customer they squeezed in before me. Ugh -_-

  This morning I needed to mail out an order. I put the box on the front swing and put my usual note in the mailbox about the box being on the swing (because it wouldn't fit in the mailbox).
  
  A few minutes later, I realized I never printed a shipping label. So I made a shipping label.
  
  A couple hours later I realized I never put the label on the box. So I put the label on the box.
  
  A few minutes later I realized I never put the flag up.
  
  Stupid pregnancy brain! I hope this order actually gets mailed out today.…

  I don't know if I want a cup of tea or bowl of ice cream. Since I'm too lazy to get up, I'm not sure it matters.

  Ah yes, leg warmers on babies or adults are stupid. Totally agree. 

  I sneak leg warmers under my work pants sometimes because they keep our office freezing.  No one can see and I stay warm, so it's a win.  Now, if I wore them outside my work pants, that would be a different story

  Thank you. I did. And then chugged a bottle in the shower. Now I'm chugging another. WORTH IT!

  DH is simultaneously going to love me & be mad at me because I just spent $60 on a bottle of scotch for him. I tried to spend less but my usual liquor store guy wasn't there to offer suggestions (he's the store expert on scotch). He deserves it though and it's not something he buys for himself.

  I received a package from my German exchange partner. I know there will be chocolate in the package. I am debating whether or not to open it now, even though DH just bought me a bunch of chocolate for valentine's day, or wait until DH gets home Sunday from his ice fishing trip. I guess we will see how fast I go through the rest of my chocolate.

  The water at work sucks.  It tastes like plastic.  How am I supposed to drink 3L of water per day if the water here tastes like plastic??  I bring 1L in from home but now am I going to have to bring a full 3L?  I'm going to need a pack mule to carry just my water.
  

  
  I feel your pain!  Ours is gross, too.  I need one of those little wire carts like my Granny has.

  Get a brita water bottle. The water here tastes like butt, so I bought a brita bottle at Target. It's got a filter built in.

  I have an alternate suggestion. I will send you my mailing address and you can just send all that German chocolate to me If there are Lebkuchen in there or Kinder Eier you don't need to send it to me... I'll come get it from you directly.

  I still have liebkuchen my mom made for meeee!!  I would love some kinder chocolate though!!  I was so excited when my wegmans started carrying Ritter Sport (of course, it's like, double what it is in DE but whatever).  I should start asking my friends to send big boxes of lindt (they live near the outlet and the company store actually sells them in 10# bags sometimes).  I miss Printen... and when I try to make it at home, it never turns out the same.

  I keep having to stop myself from using the abbreviation DH for my husband in regular conversations! And in a fee texts and emails with people who are not at all familiar with this stuff I've used abbreviations from here and they're like "...what?!"

  I just found out that 'Mony' from the song 'Mony Mony' comes from Mutual of New York. The songwriter was looking for a silly name like Sloppy or something and couldn't think of anything. He was frustrated and went out on his terrace for a smoke break. He saw the light up sign on top of the Mutual of New York sign and went with it.
  
  That just blew my mind...I love random trivia like that.

  I was very pleasantly surprised to find that Motherhood Maternity stocked plus size clothes in their store and not just online. I bought a few things today including a pair of jeans that fit perfectly.

  I'm so over this pregnancy insomnia! The upside is I just read this entire thread! Oh and I'm getting very impatient waiting for my a/a since we're at the point where so many are starting and I feel like I'm at the end of the line since my dr is waiting till I'm 20weeks.

  Rude or not? I think im just being a cranky pregnant lady. DHs aunt and uncle (who are very rich, building a 500,000 house in flordia with cash this fall) are 'throwing a party' for their sons - both live out of state and are coming back the same weekend. So they asked to use the back room at a bar and grill, and invited us to come and had us RSVP, and then said wed be responsible to buy our own dinner. Shes providing dessert. I said to my MIL - so theyre inviting us out to dinner then. And she got really huffy and said no theyre throwing a party thats the way its done now. Really. Not that i am saying they have money so they should buy me food, but id rather have a potluck or something or even pitch in for a buffet if were going to mingle with these cousins we never see, rather than a sit down meal where we just talk to his brother anyway. And dont pretend youre throwing us a big party bc you brought cake. Just is weird to me. (But im stressed out cranky and pregnany so it might be that)

  The past few weeks, I've started to choke on my own saliva at least once a day.... I have NO idea why it's happening! But it usually leads to coughing and then gagging and then trying not to puke everywhere.

  I've done this! I hate the whole increased saliva thing, it totally grosses me out. It's so bad I try to avoid kissing DH cause I'm so grossed out by the extra saliva in my mouth.

  That's the way it's done if you're super young and throwing a party in college. If you're a responsible adult, that's tacky. I believe if you throw a party, you should pay for everything. I'd be annoyed too.

  Agreed. If you invite someone to a party, you are the host and you pay. It's very tacky and I would decline.

  Anyway, I saw on March 2014 that they do something called "Secret Bumpie". I tried searching their board but couldn't find what it is... Anybody know what Secret Bumpie is? I am thinking it's like Secret Santa but not sure.

  I've seen some do a gift exchange using Elfster that is like secret Santa...maybe that's it? It matches people up and you mail a gift to your secret Bumpie person.
