U to the O

Re: U to the O
@sooner1981
And agreed about the word "hate"...I don't hate many people or things.
----
I dont know if that makes me feel better. So, me and my family are in a small group with carbs and ikea?
Actually, that sounds like my personal idea of heaven....

Actually, I was trying to joke. But I have been up since 4am and have had a tough day, so my internets skills are not so good today...
Although I stick with my statement about wanting to live in your "hate" zone!
#2 due 12.23.17
:-??
Oh and @baconface reminded me why I go to IKEA even though I don't like it- the food. Their chocolate moose is the balls!
Can't bold on mobile, but I just keep picturing a chocolate moose standing in Ikea haha
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing!
I do not get at all why people refuse or ignoring talking to their 10 year olds about sex. I have a couple co-workers and friends with kids that age and NONE of them have had sex talks. Despite all of them having 'boyfriend/girlfriends'. I realize they are still young, but people are having sex at like 12 these days and I just don't get why you would bury your head in the sand about something like that.
Anyway, feel free to take an extra point, if @Weljadraak approves.
Dh takes the T (subway for non-Massholes). I wonder how girly that makes him
:-??

Another T taking hubby here. I think my DH and @wedding06's DH could very well take the exact same train. We live at opposite ends of the same T line.
I love the ice cream cones at Ikea.
BOOM.

We will be easy to find. For the first hour, my husband will have the largest plate of meatballs that he can order. I will be smiling from ear to ear as I eat Swedish food and subject him to a million stories (all of which he has heard before) of when I lived in Sweden. He will nod and laugh at the appropriate points, his boredom assuaged by his large pile of meat, gravy and potatoes.
Then, we will diligently walk through the aisles, me translating every Swedish word/phrase possible (not many chances to speak a language only spoken by 9 million people worldwide--8.5 million of those people living in Sweden.). We will try to imagine our house with various pieces of furniture, only to eventually realize that what we really love about the display rooms is their beautiful lack of any clutter--so our rooms with two small children will never compare. Ever.
After that, we will go to central market and buy. All. The. Things. We have shopping lists from various famy members and friends for CM goodies and have nothing like that place in our store.
Then, we will visit penzey's spices, eat Mexican at Mi Cocina, and then head back home. It will be a beautiful 24 hours! Yay for tomorrow!

@sooner1981 , that sounds like a great day! We also have to make Ikea an all day trip. And I love CM! But I am sad for you that it appears that you have to make a special trip for that, too. My mom and I like to go and get lunch there and sit outside just for funsies. Their food is the best! I plan to take a trip today, actually

Sounds like a wonderful day except the Mi Cocina part. I know it's right there, BUT you should try Chuy's.
Yes I do remember that! Just didn't know if she f/u with her OB and let us know. I too am a little surprised more people aren't pg yet. Maybe more will roll in this summer.

I am ALWAYS looking for Mexican food recommendations! We are actually visiting my family in Oklahoma and heading down to Dallas while my parents watch our kids, so I don't know many new places in Dallas, just the old standbys.
So, tell me more about Chuy's!
I think they have 7 different dipping sauces (all free except Queso), but I recommended the Queso compuesto (it has beef, guacamole, pico de gallo in it). The tortillas are made onsite. Fairly inexpensive and very casual. I love the green chile rice and the green chile chicken enchiladas. You'll be 6 miles from one when you're at IKEA. It originated in Austin, but now they are all over the US--even Soonerville in Norman.

There are a few other places around there that are good, too.
La Hacienda Ranch - Mexican meets steakhouse. More upscale.
Cantina Laredo- more upscale, Tex-Mex
Blue Goose Cantina - I've heard they have good margaritas. I don't drink tequila, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Off topic a bit, is the adoption open or closed? Just wondering how it varies from state to state.
@edaire I understand your frustration. I've raised my stepson since he was 5, went to every school function, every doctor appointment, etc, and his "bio mom" didn't. The minute we told people I was pregnant, some said it would be different now that I had my own child. Nope it won't be. And it isn't different. It irritates me. And it came from dh's stepmom the most. Now I know how she really feels about DH. People don't know when to keep their mouth shut.
Well there's this (re:biological similarities)
I'm totally kidding.
@edaire People who have never dealt with IF have no idea. Sorry for their insensitive comments.
