  • I'm so fucking sick of wearing a bra!
  • I'm a starvation monster tonight. I'd ask if that meant I was in labor, but I know I'd just be disappointed.

    Hey guys, as a Kiwi, I am wondering on your take on this report?


    Its causing a bit of controversy over here cause its kinda offensive, Powhiri (welcome) ceremonies are taken very seriously and is actually very cool to take part in,  but I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she's just being tongue in cheek (insert obvious joke here). But as someone who is supposed to be a news correspondent, I am surprised she is mocking another culture.

    ETA: ok I just googled the reporter, and realise she has made her name as a "soft news" journalist and is really only after ratings. Meh.

    Checker: "Oh, I bet you are painting the baby's name for your nursery, huh?"
    Me: "Yep, I sure am". 
    Checker: "Do you know if it's a girl or a boy?"
    Me (dumbfounded): "Yeah...It's a boy"
    Checker: "Have you picked a name?"

    HAHAHAHAAHA oh some people!

    I get the impression that she was being tongue in cheek to try and make the news story more relatable to the audience, but it still kinda rubs me the wrong way. It just seems a bit insensitive for an "outsider" to be cracking jokes like that to other "outsiders." I don't think she was truly attempting to mock the culture, but it wasn't presented in an appropriate way, especially when both parties (the reporter and the audience) most likely lacked any real familiarity with the culture beforehand. Familiarity is the reason my close friends can freely poke fun at me but I would be offended if a stranger tried to do the same. ;)

    Oh my. I hate when things like that happen. Secondhand embarrassment is so much worse than being personally embarrassed IMO. Let me be awkward all day every day, but PLEASE GOD let no one else be awkward in my presence.  X_X

    DO IT. I just ate a whole bag of buttered popcorn and two glasses of milk mixed with strawberry Nesquik for no other reason than "because I was awake." 

    ETA: Eff it. I'm going for a third glass. And a couple wafer cookies.

    ETA2: Make that four wafer cookies. YOOOOLOOOO! 



    Bwahahaha! Yep, I already got up and the water is on the stove. Tonight (post-dinner) I've had a sandwich, bowl of cereal, and (my favorite weird food) a hot dog wrapped in American cheese and a tortilla. :)

    Aww cool! As I said, the whole ceremony is actually really cool - not maori myself but I live in an area where the population is 75% Maori, and have grown up with the culture and know the meanings behind the ceremony. And I am sure that William and Kate will have been briefed on the ceremony so they know the meanings as well.

    I think the controversy is more we don't like being made to look like idiots in the states. We have a very small voice so when its heard we only want the best said about us! hehe

    I looove it! Pregsomnia and eating with reckless abandon just go hand in hand so beautifully. I've been lacking an appetite for the past few days thanks to being sick so I didn't have much more today than a 6-inch sub with chips and a bottled juice from Subway, but as soon as pregsomnia hit it was like "15 minutes and 1000+ calories later..." Perfection.

  • @lia619 glad your feeling better she's beautiful!!!
  • Grabbed a greasy bar food dinner and home opener for the local minor league baseball team last night. On the way home, I had my first epic pregnancy nosebleed and then woke up at 4 this AM with contractions and major digestive issue. So I bailed on work and am going to to try to enjoy my self-imposed first day of spring break and by enjoy I mean hopefully go into labor.
  • Woke up this morning still having contractions but nothing intense. Usually my prodromal fun is over by morning sooooo maybe I'll have a baby by the end of the weekend?!

    Congrats @lia619‌ ! Sorry about the bleeding- glad youre recovering!

    @Twirple that's hilarious- thank you for sharing!!
