This isn't started yet?
I can't really understand the Elf on the Shelf. I think he is creepy and makes messes. Obviously, I'm a fun hater.

Re: UO
If I want to give my baby puréed food who cares?
I guess I hope this isn't an UO, but it's what is bugging me today.
DH and I are trying to buy a new house. The current owners overpaid by at least $15,000, plus they had an insurance check given to them following a hail storm and they didn't use it to fix the damage. So we low-balled them on our first offer.
So my UO (or hopefully not so UO) is that it's too damn bad for them. It's not our problem that they overpaid and then didn't fix the damage to the roof. I'm not paying what they expect!
Eta to add that there is never anything I need or want so it makes it that much more awkward.

I am the same exact way. I also get flustered when I give gifts bc I worry too much whether they will like the gift or not.

I'm not a fan either. I am also a teacher, and there are teachers in my building who do Elf on the Shelf in their classrooms. This REALLY bothers me. I feel Elf on the Shelf should be a home thing. Maybe this an UO.
Lion King FOREVER!
Another UO: if you had to put your wedding on a credit card you should have waited to get married or should have went the budget route. Or to the courthouse.
I agree with this. But can someone please explain this to my 3 yr old!?! Cause she thinks Frozen is the greatest movie ever made.
I agree! I was expecting something much better. It's just eh. The snowman song is catchy though.
I LOVE buying gifts for my friends' kids and they love buying gifts for mine. But then, I love buying gifts for other people in general. Few things in life give me more pleasure than seeing the joy on a person's face when I've picked out something special for them/their child.
Also an UO, I don't think there's anything wrong with spending a lot of money on a wedding. I totally understand when people choose to direct their resources towards things that are longer lasting, but I thought my 80K wedding turned out beautifully and it was the night of my dreams. Of course, it would have been the night of my dreams if I got married in a shack, since it was the night I got to marry my husband, but I can't say I hate looking at the pics.
And here goes a total AW moment. The pic with the confetti was our gender reveal (no one there knew what we were having until we released a burst of pink confetti to "Girls" by the Beastie Boys). And the pic with the fathead is my friend who had died a year to the day prior to our wedding.
Baby Boy due October 2017
For me, I wouldn't like a big wedding, I get uncomfortable being the center of attention. But if someone else wants go big, I say have at it!
And just for the record, I don't have a lot of money to "throw around." My husband does okay, but certainly isn't rolling in money, and I've been unemployed ever since my hyperemesis forced me to quit in the first trimester. The only reason that I was able to have the wedding I did was because my dad died and he left behind money for my mom so that I could have the wedding of my dreams even in his absence. So I'm sorry if people took it as me showing off how rich I am. I promise I'm not.
I'm weird, and I let weird things annoy me....hence the silly UO this week
