What's up?

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

What comes to mind when you see a woman just wearing a wedding band? I'm thinking of putting my e-ring in the drawer.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

I wish I would go to the mall every time I want to eat. There's so much spring/summer stuff there I'm drooling over but would never pull off with my muffin top.

Speaking of which, I am in jeans hell. All are too small or too big. I've been plumbers-crackin it for several weeks.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

My feet are really calloused. Should I be embarrassed to get a pedi?

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

Does anyone plan to do a lot of camping with LO this summer?

What are your favorite camping meals (including over the fire ones)

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

WAKE UP SNATChES! :-p

Honestly, I don't think about anything really. I just think her engagement ring is probably ginormus and she doesn't want to get it lost/broken during the day.

Due to a variety of factors (working in a lab, and it gives me a weird rash), I am not even wearing my wedding ring a lot. DH doesn't care. For me, the ring never had the significant meaning it has for other people.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

@BobKat22‌ duh I forgot about medical professionals and their rings.

I hate camping. We will not be "camping" unless it involves a lake house or an RV. We have neither of those so I bet we don't camp this summer.

I LOVE tent camping, but DH won't do it. We are buying a camper. We have a little state park 10 min from our house that has a water park. I hope we go almost every Friday.

Only if your hands look as bad as your feet, shoud you be embarrassed. I won my bracket challenge against DH and the prize is a pedi. I'm going to squeeze it for a mani too after seeing cheese' nails yesterday.

If my boss (friend prior to work) left me some bullshit note again with her micro managing ways I may just quit my job. I figure I'll find a new one faster without the work obligation. The truely horrifying part, I leave for vacation with this woman in 17 days,

I am built like a weirdo where my waist is bigger than my ass, So I have plumber's on the reg because my ass doesn't hold my pants up.

AlinnJo · April 2014

THT don't be embarrassed go get a pedicure. I'm sure they've seen worse.

I hate camping and have no desire to go. I'm with @BobKat22 give me a lake house or RV.

I think a wedding band is fine. I love my ring so I will always wear it. But it doesn't interfere with my daily routine.

We are thinking about getting a pool. I really want one but am kinda worried about upkeep and just the expense if having one. We will see.

I really like the look of it actually. I love my e-ring and wear it daily, but lately when I run out for a quick errand on the weekends, I'll just wear one of my wedding bands and a couple other deco style bands.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

....so the pedi is like the Gyno. They've seen worse. :-p

Got it!

miss50 · April 2014

DH hates camping. It makes me sad. We live very close to a small camp ground, so I hope Saygee will want her birthday parties there. Nothing better than going to bed by a fire, possibly falling asleep in the chair, and waking up to morning dew.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

If I lived in the country, I would 100% have an above ground pool. Enjoy the hell out of it and when you decide it's too much work, there's no $20k hole in your yard.

Eta:posted too soon

thebanich · April 2014

DH would love to take the kids camping this summer.

I can't imagine anyone would sleep at all and I don't want to deal with the bears. :-SS

miss50 · April 2014

@tinyhumantoe you must be feeling better!

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

We love to make foil dinners - beef, potatoes, carrots, onion, BBQ or ketchup - everyone bundles their own in foil and makes it a special shape to tell it apart. That's half the fun.

Also stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon cooked over the fire. YUM.

Still shitty, but the fevers seem to be done, so yes! So, so much better.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

My ring isn't modest enough. That's my issue with it. It also slides from side to side. It can't sit up straight.

Now I'm hungry. Thanks THT.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

Me too @Banich4eva‌ ... Always...

BeebopandBuddy · April 2014

Even an RV is a little too "roughing it" for me. I require indoor plumbing to be comfortable.

I would give anything for a pedicure right now. And an eyebrow wax...my eyebrows look like angry catepillars.

MarisaKathleen · April 2014

I love camping. Which is why I wouldn't go camping with kids. At least until they're like 10. I certainly wouldn't take Nancy. Friends of mine go almost every weekend out of the summer to a local campground and have since their kids were babies. Since they started both their kids out really young (like 2mo and 5mo) they're both little camping pros.

Go get a pedicure. People like my FIL who have hobbit feet get pedis. They won't judge you. :-)

I like how a band looks. If mine weren't soldered together I'd wear just a band more often.

Being pregnant is the only diet I can stick to. I've lost almost 30lbs this pregnancy. Apparently I need to pretend to be pregnant all the time so I continue "clean eating." Well, clean eating with candy.

MarisaKathleen · April 2014

I had some feelings about the How I Met Your Mother finale. I haven't watched the show in 2 seasons now but wanted to still watch it. Then I cried because I was so pissed about it.

Yesterday I bought Wild Berry jelly beans by Jolly Rancher. There's lemonade flavored beans in there. WTF is that? Lemonade isn't a berry! And it's like they took Country Time Lemonade powder and jellied it. They're horrible. I picked out all the yellow ones.

I think the press is making too big a deal about the chick that spent $25K on plastic surgery to look like Jennifer Lawrence.

I'm starving. Those are all of my random thoughts for right now.

redneckmomma25 · April 2014

I haven't had a pedi since being pregnant.

DH is home today. He can't put weight on his right foot. Last week his left knee was hurt. Couldn't bend. Really swollen. He went to work, said he'd go to a Dr Saturday. We'll he was feeling fine Saturday so he didn't. He was told a year ago to do physical therapy. Never looked into it. From his knee hurting his other ankle started hurting then moved to his foot. I have a hard time feeling sympathetic. I feel like a bad wife haha. I'm sure there are late hour locations and weekend hours somewhere.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

@loislayn23 you make all of that camping???! I am so inspired! I want to do it all!

redneckmomma25 · April 2014

I really want to poop without a child sticking their head or hand in my crotch. Seriously? GTFO.

redneckmomma25 · April 2014

We went camping last year. Kinda sucked. Not sure I am looking forward to it this year.

Pokedot · April 2014

Bah, who cares if you don't wear your e-ring. I didn't when I worked in a home improvement store. I didn't want to ruin the stone. Now working behind a desk I wear it all the time except at home.

We plan on taking DS this summer. We haven't been out in a couple of years and I miss it. We'll go for a weekend or two hopefully.

Our travel agent just sent over a price list/dates for vacation. Is traveling the week before Christmas crazy? We'd be gone for 8 nights! I'm both crawling out of my skin excited and sad to be gone from DS that long.

PenelopePond · April 2014

My fat fingers still can't wear my rings

. I may have to cave and get them sized. I think just wearing the band is probably better than wearing none.

We don't do camping. We are driving to Wisconsin in a couple months, so I think that's some equal form of torture.

I need to figure out a good eating plan. I'm doing okay on The 17 Day Diet, but I hate feeling guilty if I eat fruit past 2 or want a cookie.

willy_gert · April 2014

The Duggars were brought up in the other thread and it made me think how I saw a news story about another Duggar gril courting.

I wonder how long their "fame" will last, because it would suck to be one of the younger girls and see how it was for your older sister's when they started courting and not have anyone care that you did. YKWIM?

Anyway, random.

Oh yeah, we're big campers. Campfire pizzas are the most amazing thing in the world.

So tell me how this works. We usually have a fire in a pit. Do you put it on a grate? What toppings? What do you use as crust? I'm so freaking excited.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

@bunkinmama so does everything in the pie iron go on bread? What kind of dough for the pizza, or for pies?

OceanLover26 · April 2014

When I see people without their e-ring I think "gosh I wonder if they accidentally scratched their kid a few times like I did." I don't wear my e-ring because I just have the worst luck with snagging my kids with it. I save it for dates and stuff. My second thought when I see people with only the band is "I wonder if they are military" because my sister wears only a gold band because she's so hands on at her job. Some military ladies can rock the jewels at work but her job was too risky to wear it. My Army job actually was, too. I remember scratching another soldier during training with it during a combat exercise and trying to get his IV set up in a hurry.

bosha711 · April 2014

I haven't worn my e-ring on a daily basis since having DS. I would always scratch him with it, so I just kept it off. I don't pay much attention to other people's ring situation.

I cringe at the thought of camping. The last time we went was about 4-5 yrs ago. It down poured overnight & our tent got wet inside. The water supply on the camp grounds had sulfur in it, so it stunk like rotten eggs. It was so fucking gross. Then apparently I was the only one who knew how to build & maintain a fire, so that was my job (we were with a large group). I guess I breathed in too much smoke or something & woke up on the last day puking all over the place. NO BUENO.

We use this. We mostly use bread but we have also used tortillas.

We call these pudgy pies! Delish! Use pie filling in the can, peanut butter and ba/ana or jelly, ham and cheese etc. You can even do chocolate chips, banana and marshmellows!

OceanLover26 · April 2014

@tinyhumantoe I'm nervous about getting a pedi too but I found this Neutrogena Norwegian foot cream that I put on before bed and all the callouses and stuff were for the most part gone the next morning! Now I feel a bit better about going to the pedi and showing my feet. Seems like winter was a bitch to everyone's skin!

PenelopePond · April 2014

I don't understand Chick Fil A taking over as the #1 fried chicken place (over KFC). Yes, CFA has great chicken, but it's not the same as going to KFC. That is weird to me.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

I casually asked my marketing agency if they represented a company that made a certain product. He said yes. I asked who it was.

Now I've gotten 8 emails from my marketing agency - asking me if I've contacted them. Dude, I casually asked you about this 2 weeks ago. Eight follow up emails is freaking excessive.
