Um, Intro???

lauralew · April 2014

Sooo, I've been lurking for several days. And I keep wanting to comment, but feel weird because I can tell there are a lot of regulars. I think I have commented once or twice. Anyway, I didn't notice any guidelines about introducing myself or whatever...but thought I would. I have two year old b/g twins and another one on the way. I've noticed my thoughts on life and parenting seem pretty congruent with the rest of the board. So I'm going to start jumping in now that I've awkwardly introduced myself.

Also, I use mobile bump a lot, so sorry about typos/autocorrects. I use ellipses a lot, too. Sorry if those are annoying to you. Finally, I guess I apologize a lot. SO SORRY.

Are you Canadian? Our resident Canadians love to apologize.

HAHA, no. I'm an Irish Catholic who has a mother and grandmother who are/were the best guilt trippers I've ever met. Maybe that's it? Sorry, I'm just not sure.

What are your feelings on Benny, soft pants, beets, and cilantro?

Also, do you return the shopping cart?

You did not bring cookies or alcohol to share with the class. Rejected.

I'm the worst. I've been away from the bump for the last couple years...so I suck at doing pictures. Hopefully this works...

I was just going to say...

But we can make you an honorary Canadian, OP, just like @ThisIsBrea‌
We send back bacon and maple syrup in the Welcome Package.

Umm, Benny?? Are you talking about Benjamin Cumberbatch? No real opinion. Which I hope doesn't get me shunned more.

Soft pants...like yoga/pj/sweat pants? All I wear. I'm in maternity clothes, which are like fancy pajamas. My life is complete.

I'll eat beets, but haven't in years.

MMM CILANTRO. I could possibly eat it by itself.

When you feel so mad

That you wanna roar

Take a deep breath.

And count to four.

::deep breath::

It's Benedict.

Oh...97% of the time. I worked at my family's grocery store growing up, so I try really hard to follow the rules there. I also prefer to sack my own groceries.

Close your eyes and think of something happy @cinemagoddess.

If something seems bad, turn it around and find something good.

Hi Lew! Glad I tempted you to the dark side even if you did just say Benjamin.

Well, hopefully you can help me redeem myself...or at least convince everyone that I am cool despite the worst mistake evarrr.

Okay, but what happens to your cart the other 3% of the time?!?!?

If I have my kids with me, I try to park by a corral. If there's no spot by a corral I try to park by a sidewalk or median. While it's still super annoying, I'll put it on the sidewalk or median. This way it's at least not roaming around the parking lot. Thankfully, my husband runs most of the errands because I'm soooo lazy.
