Friday Randoms

It's Friday! (Woohoo!) What's running through your mind today.

Someone told me recently they think skunks smell like burned coffee...I don't get that.

  • I'm waiting outside the social security office so I can get all my name change stuff done today. They don't open for another hour and there are 50 people in front of me. Also, it's Texas and 80 already. :((
  • Loading the player...
  • I am not happy. The fire alarm battery in DD's room is dying so it beeps every minute. Somehow she is sleeping through it but it is keeping me awake and I can't change it w/o waking her up.

    This is some bullshit man.

  • I woke up numerous times during the night with the Doc McStuffins song stuck in my head...and apparently I was singing it in my sleep.

  • I have packed about 2/3 of DSs toys for our move (9 days and counting), and I'm feeling terrible because he doesn't understand whats going on and why his toys keep dissapearing. I probably should have left out more toys until next week, but I was tired of tripping over them.

    I still have to find someone to paint the nursery, but I'm too lazy to ask my friends for recommendations.  Or I forget.  Let's just go with forget.  

    Also, I just dropped our foster cat off at to be spayed, and was told there's a $5 surcharge for paying with an amex.  I know amex charges a slightly higher fee per transaction, but $5?  really?

    5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional.  5 BFPs.  My rainbow arrived 10/15/14.
    TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.

  • I spent way too much time last night online trying to figure out why it's usually the calf muscle that cramps in the middle of the night and not a different muscle, like the bicep, for example. I didn't find an answer, and now I'm obsessed. Does anyone know why?

  • I wanna throat punch my midwife today.  I had an appt. yesterday and she made me feel like an AWFUL person.  I apparently failed my glucose test.  I was told, "No news is good news" NEVER received a phone call.  So when I got into the room, she said, "How've you been feeling"  I was like, fine, she was like, "well you failed your 1 hour glucose test and your iron counts are boarderline.  So you need to come in and do the 3 hour test.  My office tried to contact you."  SO I said, well they have my cell phone, which has voicemail, so even if I missed a call, I should have received a voicemail.  So I asked her what number they had on file, and they had the wrong area code.  DH and I just moved, so we have a different area code....they put the local one down.  I'm sorry, how is this my fault?!?  THEN I asked how much I failed by and she said, just a few points, I'm sorry, but WTF does that mean?? 2 or 3 or 20??

    SO then she continued on to ask me if I had had cake or something the night before the test.  I hadn't, my DH and I eat VERY well!  I told her just that, and she said, "Well then why are your iron counts boarderline?"  SERIOUSLY! She was like, well you need to come in for the 3 hour and you need to fast before this one.  Fine.  I said, how about in 2 weeks, before my next appointment.  She said, No, how about tomorow.  I said, No, I need time to notify my boss. SERIOUSLY LADY?? I understand that this is important, but don't be rude to me because YOUR office staff failed at their task!! 

    She made me feel like a horrible person, and made me feel like it was my fault for failing the test. I'm so pissed I don't know what to do. AND THEN she scheduled me for 4 weeks from now.  Why would I move from a 2 week appointment schedule back to 4 weeks???

    Sorry for the rant. I am just beside myself right now.

  • Is it normal that if I need to use the bathroom my lower back hurts like a bitch? Especially if I have to poop? Kinda weird right? Normal?

  • Oh! I just remembered, after our ultrasound we're going to Walgreens to get DH the TDAP/Whooping Cough Vaccine, picking out nursery paint, and having dinner. Should be fun! :)

    So does that mean you and DH made up/came to some sort of understanding?
    Have fun today!

    Hey not a problem
  • H & I are joining a new church this weekend! I'm both excited and nervous. We'll have to stand in front of the congregation then stand at the doors to greet everyone on their way out. Would it be rude to hold a large purse in front of my stomach so everyone doesn't rub? Or should I just suck it up for a few minutes and let every single person touch me?

  • @Jennifer18131‌ I have never witnessed something like that for been members and I have been to many different churches! How interesting! I hope it doesn't deter shy people from joining. I can see how that would be a great, efficient way of everyone meeting the new people, though. Anyway yeah, suck it up and let them touch your belly.

  • @golfingdarwinfish‌ the Amex thing is bogus! More importantly, did you ever get to indulge in your four dessert bread cravings?! I had a slice of my zucchini bread for second breakfast and it was delish. That cinnamon thing you posted, though, looked incredible. I saw a recipe for pecan bars online and now that's what I'm craving.

    @sweetadeline31

    He actually brought up a chocolate babka (the one in the pic) because there were no cinnamon available.  He said he went to 4 bakeries (He works in NYC, so this probably took all of 5 minutes) and couldn't find zucchini bread.  I normally hate chocolate, but the babka is quite yummy! :)
    *tosses you a slice through the interwebz*
    *Intercepts said slice*
    Such a notch. A consistent notch but geez...


    Guise. I cant help it. I was an extreme softball player growing up. If something delicious is tossed in my vicinity, I'm gonna snatch it.

    I think lemon juice smells like a skunk, but I still enjoy it in my water every night.  Also, am I weird because I don't think the smell of skunk is all that bad?

    Isn't this illegal? I know it's illegal for stores to make a mandatory minimum purchase with a card. It goes against the TOS of credit card companies, and they could lose their right to offer credit cards.

    OR, at least when I looked into it here in WV, it was. I was fired up because a gas station told me I had to spend $5 to use my card, and it turned into this huge discussion with my lawyer friend.

  • I remembered to grab some quarters for the soda machine before I left for work this morning, and when I got to work the soda guy was here restocking and he put orange Crush in! I was so happy I could have cried. It was in there for a while and then a month ago they randomly replaced it with Mt. Dew Baja Blast and I was pissed.
    Orange Crush is my guilty pleasure, even pre-pregnancy, and IMO the only way to cure a hang over. The can is good, but from the fountain is soooo much better. Now I want orange soda, dammit!
