  • @imimms87 I think it's way awesome you work in AIDS research you don't hear that very often ... I've thought of research nursing (probably much different from what you do) for a very brief moment but seems like it'd be a very difficult job

    I have two dogs (a husky and a gsd), two cats, and some fish.

    I didn't list them as my children...
    I am pretty sure that is directed to me.  I wasn't paying close attention when filling it out and now I feel silly.

    I do love my cat very much but he is not my child.  My old neighbor refers to her cat her son and I never thought anything of it until I actually had a child.  Now it does rub me the wrong way.

    It's directed at a couple ladies in this thread that listed their pets as LOS. Not just you.

    I work with animals and love my pets very very much, but I can't leave food out for my kids if H and I want to go out of town for the weekend. There's just no comparison at all.

    I am doing so awesome at this. I should have looked back. I am really not normally this dumb. I've had a rough weekend and DH has been away for work. But enough of my sob story.

    Thst is awesome that you work at PetSmart. We adopted my cat through our local PetSmart. I appreciate that the cats and dogs available for adoption are from local rescues. It's the responsible thing to do.

    No problem. We all have rough patches. I love that about our store too. I got both of my dogs through the shelter affiliated with my store. :)

    Pedicures, wine, West Wing reruns, and playing old Nintendo games on the Wii.

    I love West Wing!! Quite possibly my all time favorite show... Or at least in the top 3.
    DH loves West Wing. He has been watching the clip on YouTube when President Bartlett calls the butterball turkey helpline. He watches it over and over and laughs each time.

  • I've been a lurker and occasional poster since wayyy back in January after I saw my BFP on New Years Eve.

    How many LOs do you have and how old are they?
    I only have DS who is 10 weeks old.

    What do you do?
    I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, though I feel most lucky to currently be a SAHM for DS.

    How long have you been with your partner and how did you meet?
    My husband and I went to the same school growing up so I knew him as a kid.  We've been together 10 years and married for 3.

    What does your username mean?
    My name and birth year.

    Favorite guilty pleasures?
    Sooo many things now that I'm SAH and sometimes try to fill the time with something entertaining.  Addicted to many TV shows:  The Good Wife, Walking Dead, Parenthood, Modern Family, Project Runway, The Office, The Newsroom, Homeland.  I also can't pass up a flavored latte (I'm a Pumpkin Spice-aholic), though I've officially switched to decaf for the sake of mine and DS's sleep.

    ....But seriously, if you haven't binge watched The Good Wife, you're missing out.  (The Walking Dead is a good binger also).
