  • Posting this here because I don't want to be an AW, and start a new thread for this one painting.  Also, not fishing for compliments by posting this picture - just happy that something is FINALLY finished for LO's nursery!  We can't get started on the nursery for 2 weeks, and the unopened furniture boxes and unfinished projects are driving me crazy!

    So, yesterday on my day off I finished a little painting for my little guy's room. :)  I'm going for a safari theme, with fun colors.  I can't wait to start working on the room!

    Anyway, just counting down til the end of the workday and thought I would share.
    The painting looks great!  And the post is especially awesome with the cat giving a thumbs up below! ;-)

    Thanks!  And I know... I wish my cat in real life was as emotionally supportive as my siggy gif. ;)

  • Somebody tell me it's okay to use three dollars worth of quarters in the McDonald's drive-thru. I really want some dollar menu action, but don't want to use my card.

    TELL ME NO ONE WILL LAUGH AT ME.

    When my best friend and I were 17, we once paid the pizza man $21 (including a tip) in quarters. We put them all in a freezer bag and I hid in the closet while she paid him because I was so embarrassed. $3 in quarters isn't terrible, right? RIGHT?
    I think a few dollars in quarters isn't too bad. If you are prepared to pay ahead of time and don't have to count out each coin to complete your transaction, then I don't think it's a big deal. 

      I'm not a fan of tipping in coins, though. 

    I paid for Subway in quarters because the stupid carwash machine broke a $20 bill down into all quarters.  They understood and were grateful for them...supposedly.

    This was me when I worked in retail and someone paid like eighteen dollars in quarters. "No, it's okay, I was almost out anyway!" *SCOWL*

    I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. And all along I believed I would find you, time has brought your heart to me. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you a thousand more.
  • DH did a once over glace at me in my cute maternity dress, and said at least my ankles are still normal compared to my last pregnancy. So, I got that going for me, still got cute ankles and 3 months to go!

    I'm glad I'm not the only person craving milk! But I really am craving it mixed with carnation instant breakfast. It's really odd - maybe baby wants more protein.
    I've been craving carnation instant breakfast too. I've had a glass every morning for three weeks now. I can only find chocolate and vanilla. Didn't they used to make a variety pack with strawberry?

  • Another milk craver here. I actually didn't realize how badly I was craving it until I was making mashed potatoes, saw the ice cold jug of milk sitting next to the pot and straight up chugged about a 1/4 of it from the jug.

    I kind of hated myself a little.

  • MIL started talking about buying a shower cake from Walmart (just.... ew) so a coworker that's been helping her volunteered to call some other places and get prices, which is obviously super nice of her. One of the places she called the really fancy bakery in town with cakes that everyone just raves over, and it's 35 dollars more from there so MIL shot it down, but I can't stop thinking about it. I'm seriously considering ordering a small one and bringing it to Easter dinner just so I can have one. Nom nom nom. I'm thinking yellow or white cake with chocolate chip filling. My family wll never know it's not just because I love them. ;-)
  • It's so awkward when someone who posts regularly enough to know better posts something that would normally result in all kinds of flaming.

    hi

  • Milk... It does a body good :)
  • Aww man... now I feel like a jerk.  But I seriously don't know how to respond in situations like that!  I feel like a deer in headlights and then I back away slowly.  There was also a "I thought this was a supportive community" type comment from a regular the other day.  
        



  • I don't know, it all seemed pretty harmless to me :)

    don't feel bad. She went off in chat one day and started calling someone a bitch in there. She can handle herself.

  • I can't feel bad for people who only show up to AW themselves.

    Also, I have been having milk cravings, but get sick every time I drink it.

    :( bummer lady. Were you lactose intolerant before? What about ice cream?

    I typically hate milk... so honestly haven't tried to have a glass of it in years... I only eat really small portions of ice cream, so I dunno.  Whatever, if that's the most I have to "suffer", I feel like I have it pretty easy.  ;)
  • DH is hosting a condo board meeting tonight at our place.  I told him I was going to BabiesRUs on the way home from work to look at car seats.  While it is true that yes, I will look at a car seat, the real reason I'm doing it has nothing to do with our child.  I really just don't want to be at home when our neighbors walk in and see how messy our house is.

    omfg, that thing is horrifying.  Who eats the baby when it gets cut?!?
  • I had a doctors appointment and work to do today and missed a lot I see.

    70+ on this thread. 160+ on the UO. Pages of labor buddies. And some shit went down.

    Did I miss anything else?

    Those ones I like way better than ones like this. 

    The use of sprinkles and strawberries is brilliant. The butt hole cracks me up every time.

    This is so gross but I also kind of want a piece of it.

    UO is super borning. You can skip.
