  I hate ordering pizza too. I Think it stems from a bad experience babysitting when I was supposed to order pizza for the kids and they wouldn't deliver because I wasn't 18. I love that you can order online now. What's funny is we were taking about this over Christmas and my brother won't order pizza either. There must be a genetic link!

  I watched Catching Fire last night. Question - is Cinna dead?? (Lenny Kravitz) Or did they just beat him up? I need to know!
  

  There will be no more Cinna.  This is a great sadness.

  I'm crying now.  In addition to crying in the shower last night because Philip Seymour Hoffman won't be in the next one, either.
  

  Well, he will.  They filmed most of his stuff prior to, I think.  The Part Two they had to do some crazy editing to make it work though.

  Michigan was so excited for spring and then they got another blizzard out of nowhere with several inches of snow, apparently.

  So I know you ladies are always posting "1st world problems" but since I am currently living in a 3rd world country I have a 3rd world problem...
  
  We are having crazy power shortages here in Southern Africa and its so frustrating!!! Thursday-6 hours, Friday-9 hours, Saturday-12 hours, Monday-6 hours, Tuesday-3 hours and today 3.5hours!
  
  I teach at an international school here and we are a technology-based school so no power leads to a lot of changing lessons on the spot and no prep (since its all online/iPads/smartboard planned)
  
  Ridiculous power cuts and 8 months pregnant really gives me a short fuse!
  

  Wow that sounds really frustrating! It's hard enough for me to focus on the simple things I know how to easily do. Thinking on your feet and changing lesson plans in the spot is tough!

  I was able to schedule ours on-line. You only had to call if you were bringing more than one person with you or you had a special situation (multiples, high risk, etc.).
  
  I registered for ours online as well. The first one I wanted was canceled, but all communication was via email. So nice!

  For a second I thought you were responding to Kendra, but misspelled "Cinna." As in "my midwife said Cinna is fine," like she was a huge Cinna fan in denial. I was tremendously confused for all of like 15 seconds before my brain restarted. Oops.

  Sometimes I don't believe people and their stories about strangers saying rude things to them.
  
  Maybe it's my chronic bitch face but I can't imagine going in public and having multiple people comment on my size. I've yet to get a rude stranger comment or belly rub.

  
  

  Word. I'm guessing it's just my resting bitch face. But really, I'm very nice and polite and friendly to people, so IDK. I have never gotten a single rude comment in either of my pregnancies.
  
  
  I'm baffled at how many comments I do get. Like, I must just look extra approachable, because I literally can't go into public without having someone make a comment, rude or otherwise. I am pretty short, too, so the extra weight and huge belly are definitely accentuated. Turds.

  Same here - I've only ever gotten one weird comment, and that amounted to "it's good you're having a boy; boys are much easier to lose the weight after." I still haven't figured out the logic behind that one...

  My kitty has been acting so weird since last night. He's slept from 5pm-6am, except to get up and stretch, then right back to sleep. He didn't even eat his wet food, which literally makes his day. 

  
  

  I'm thinking it's just a cold or allergies though, because he got up with DH and was flirting with him when he was getting ready for work. He drank out of the sink (only way he'll drink a lot of water), went pee in his litter box and now he's back to sleep on the heater vent. He usually is freaking out to get outside, and he hasn't even cried at the door.

  
  

  UGH I really hope it's not more serious than allergies or a cold. I can not afford any vet bills right now!

  
  Hmm. Any vomiting? Sneezing? Wheezing? Or coughing?
  
  Or did he get vaccines recently?
  
  And does he go outside or do you have multiple cats?
  
  Cats won't eat if they have a fever or their nose is stuffy and they can't smell their food.
  
  Sometimes they get a slight fever from vaccines, or could get a fever from a cat/wild animal bite that gets infected and forms an abscess.
  
  If his nose is a little stuffy take kitty in the bathroom and run a steamy shower ( don't put the cat in the shower) this can help loosen things up for them.
  
  Try warming the canned food up. Cats like to be able to smell their food and boy does it smell when it's been warmed up.
  
  He sounds just a little under the weather, hopefully it passes soon. Check him all over for bits, scratches, or lumps.
  
  
  Edit: saw he does go outside so definetly check for battle scars

  Is it PUPPP? Can you take baths? Baths (with epsom salts), pine tar soap and anti-itch creams all helped me somewhat. So sorry you're dealing with this, I hope you get relief soon!!

  I thought I had a pretty effective resting bitch face but I still get comments. The lady sitting next to me when I got my nails done said she could tell it was a girl because boy bumps look like basketballs and girl bumps look like watermelons. WTF does that mean?

  This weekend I had two ladies that run a store tell me they've never seen a belly stick out that far and couldn't believe I had until April before I was due. I just tell people "I just get really big when I'm pregnant" and that I was a lot bigger with my son so I feel pretty small right now.

  I wish my friend would learn that inviting him, his two twin step daughters, and his girlfriend (who would be horrified if she knew he invited himself +3) over to dinner or just to visit, 5 minutes before they show up, is NOT fun. Luckily, this time, he knew I was sleeping and at least said "if you're awake." The house is a mess and I'm really uncomfortable. Last time this happened, I was stuck watching the twins for 5 hours (girlfriend, their mother, wasn't here.) Its never fun and always just really annoying. (I didn't answer the test message so they didn't come. But still, its so weird!)

  Also, I'm really mad at this shopusa company bullshit. I ordered out 270$ stroller from Amazon. To get it here, it was another $350 in shipping and taxes. Now they are saying they calculated the taxes wrong and they want another 140$. I got the stroller yesterday and they just email me a bill?! WTF?

  Why do I keep watching wedding shows? It's like an addiction. I ran out of "My 600lb Life" episodes to watch, so this sounded better? Now I keep reliving my wedding and secretly wishing we had waited just a couple more months to start trying for a baby.... The wedding drinking looks really fun!
  
  Oh well. That's what vow renewals are for, right? DH and I definitely want to take an anniversary trip once LO is older to have a honeymoon re-do: morning sickness for me and second degree sunburns for him made for a pretty miserable week in paradise!

  Too bad for them.  You made the purchase relying on their computations.  They messed up, they eat the cost.
  

  That's what I think. Also, its a company name I've never SEEN before. And, if its something for VAT or taxes, I only want to pay the bill TO the national toll office. Not some random company. Seems really fishy. I mean, if I'm going to get in trouble with the government for not paying enough taxes, then the bill needs to come from them. I don't know what this company will do with my 140$??!
