I sometimes love public transportation because I get to people watch.
I'm an early morning person.
While riding the bus I often wish I could start an instagram compiled of people sleeping/snoring/nodding-for-cock, picking their nose, or kids doing whatever kids do on the bus.

Umm. Why can't you? that would be hilarious.

Lol first name Lazy.
Also I feel that it's a privacy thing. Yes I know it's public and I could. But really nice person deep down would want to tell them. Via appropriate business card with a web address only.

The term has been around as long as I've been on XO sites (so a little over 3 years now). Basically it refers to the fact that someone has been an ass and you're keeping track of them. A poster a long time ago once referred to keeping a post-it of names so they'd remember who was a jerk.

It can also be used in a joking fashion.

I also got Happy Holiday cards. I seal them with holiday stickers as well...but the people who I am sure celebrate Christmas get the "Christmasy" stickers that come with the pack...most others get snowmen.

New one!

I was on the phone with my mom and mentioned that H and I are finished Christmas shopping. I was telling her what I'd gotten my dad and grandmother and that H's family was done. She asked what I'd gotten my sister.

Here's the deal: My siblings and I have really never exchanged presents. Not even in the my mom or dad bought them and put them under the tree as from one of us to the other. I got both of my sibs presents last year because I found something totally perfect, but it's not a regular thing. I had no intention of buying them anything this year except maybe some fun candy. I especially had no intention of buying something for my sister's FI (that sounds bad, he's a super nice guy, but if I've never done sibling presents and start, he'd be included). Neither of my sibs has ever bought me anything. And it doesn't seem like it will start this year.

I guess the FFFC part is that I don't want to do it, but I feel petty not doing it because they aren't. We're going to an art market this weekend, maybe I'll just get something.

My brother and I have NEVER EVER exchanged presents. I seriously doubt that will change. I dont think you are being petty.

Anyone got advice on how to fix it! Just seems really dry all the time.

The third pregnancy announcement on my Facebook that's going to be a girl born next summer named Harper. I'm a bad person, because when they say 'a girl, due XX, and her name is Harper' I just want to respond 'Of course it is.'

I just don't get the name Harper or why it's so popular (I have many rants on the BNB about this).

Also, we got back from our trip 2 weeks ago and there are still suitcases with some clothes in them on the floor of our bedroom. I hate unpacking. I am going to finish it today because we have people coming over tonight.

This made me laugh. Hazel seems to be the girl name of choice amongst my friends. Strangely enough, all three claim they chose it because it such an uncommon name....yeah....

HippoTooth · December 2014

I love my digital camera, but I'm terrible at actually printing the pictures. They stay on my camera until my card is full.

FFFC: I'm lazy enough that I'm actually considering hiring someone to download all of my pictures onto a flash drive, printing them off, and then placing them in albums for me. I have no idea if this service exists or not, but if it doesn't it definitely should dammit!

Thanks for the cast iron advice! I really want a cast iron pan for Christmas for the sole purpose of making steaks.

FFFC DH decided to save money by having me cut his hair. He bought clippers and got excited and made me do it right away. His hair has officially seen better days and I hope it grows back enough that I can fix it before Christmas. Guess I'll be watching YouTube.

We also usually go out on Fridays. I think tonight will be Steak 'n Shake.

Just a heads up...be prepared to set your smoke alarms off when searing the steak on the stove...

We decided to cook our steaks in our cast iron pan, sear on stove, finish in oven... (they were amazing BTW) but we have a hidden WIRED alarm system, and could not for the life of us figure out how to turn it off....It was connected to our security system. We don't use it, and didn't know the code to shut it off. Finally we remember the previous owner scribbled the code on a piece of paper, we had hidden away almost 2 years ago..... That was a fun night!

They make vents for that...at least I have one that goes through my over-the-range microwave. I thought all ranges had to have ventilation. Just turn it on and sear that steak

I cook them inside all the time without a problem.

Guess I will open the window and turn on the oven vent. Usually bacon in the oven sets them off. We just have like 50# of steak in our deep freeze and I'm not waiting on DH to grill.

bbyskittels · December 2014

FFFC....now that I'm off bc I suddenly want it all the time. Very new for me.

So, my mind uses my boss face on my daydreams to screw the heck out of a strong, assertive male other than my husband. Even though I've never been attracted to guys that look like that before.

Why not my own husband's hot face, I will never know. I judge myself a lot for this though lol.

Eta: changed allllll to all. It annoys me when other people do that, so why the f did I do it.

EmeJay · December 2014

I woke up late this morning and didn't have time to take a shower. I'm currently wanting to go to the gym, take a shower and leave.

Is that weird? I so do not want to work out.

2. Porn

Tumblr gets a lot of use during my FW.

Today is the first time I hear about Tumblr being used for this. My interest is piqued.

I agree so hard! I do not get it, @divinemsbee!

@Ilovegrilledcheese, I am so glad you enjoyed your long-awaited pizza! You deserved it! Hope today goes better for you.

FFFC: I really feel like avoiding my family this holiday season. I have 2 pregnant cousins, one of whom is not really in the best spot to be having another baby, and her mom is insane with the bragging and competitions. She also thinks I am not a winner because I am not married, despite my fabulous education and career and owning my own house all by myself. I tried to get out of Thanksgiving, but got a guilt trip about my grandma not being around forever. It's exhausting.

@grandiosequestion‌ we do the white elephant gift exchange too. We used to do gifts and the exchange, but we decided against gifts for the adults this year.

Gift exchange game + wine = hilariousness! I'm so looking forward to this year

I usually get gifts for all siblings, including my husband's. But I am DONE. Last year we got his little sister, husband and new baby a Christmas gift, this year we got her a gift card for her birthday, and I helped make the cake for her daughter's birthday in August PLUS we got her a gift and never once did we get a thank you card for any of it. May be petty but no thank you card, no more gifts.

I need more information. Do you want people to think you're a big drinker and you're not? Or do you change your mind?

Please to explain.

Debbie downer alert: I burst into tears before one morning this week. They did a story on NPR about Charlie Brown's Christmas has been around for 50 years and said how they think it will be around for 50 more, with parents sharing it with their kids. I was having a fine morning listening to the Charlie Brown music and smiling and then it just hit me all of the sudden as one of those things that I might never get to do with my own kid(s) and I just started crying. That sucked.

When I watch porn, it is always lesbian porn. I don't consider myself to be bi, and have no real interest in pursuing an IRL recreation of what I am seeing, but it turns me on and frankly, if I wanted to get off to looking at penis I'd have sex with my husband.

You aren't alone @iPutKetchupOnKetchup‌ , though for whatever reason the thoughts are in my mind or some show (that time I watched the first five seconds if Orange is the new black) and not screen porn. However, previous comment about tumblr may have changed my mind.

icaughtfire · December 2014

My H & I got into a petty argument last night. I'm letting it linger on probably more than it should so when I get home tonight we can have hot, angry make up sex.

pugsandwine · December 2014

I stalk the birth month boards daily.

My favorites are January 15 (so ready to pop), June 15 (starting to showwwwww), and November 14 (birth storiieezzzzz).

My MIL is pissed that I sent out Christmas cards (DH is Jewish) instead of "Happy Holiday" cards. My FFFC: My first reaction to hearing this was, "Ok, then I won't send her one next year."

This hits close to home for me because we have the same situation in my household, except for reversed religions. I am Jewish. When we first started sending cards H wanted to get one that said Merry Christmas and not happy holidays. I honestly, felt like it was very disrespectful to my family. Why couldn't we send a card that was all inclusive to both of our families? After giving my point of view, H saw my point of view and we got cards that said happy holidays.

Yeah, my reaction was totally snotty. DH backed me up to her (this is why I love him) but he said to me that he feels the same way you do. I was just so pissed off that it took me so much time, stress, and money to do those cards, and I made sure to include all her family and friends, and all she could do is bitch that it said Christmas. It's none of her damn business what I choose to put on my cards.

But since DH has feelings about it, and it IS his business, we'll talk about what I'm going to do next year. I'll send out two sets of cards or something.

ETA: I forgot to add...the cards had 3 pictures of DS (6 mo old), who I took to the mall the day after black friday to get professional pics taken. That's what I meant by time, money and stress.

divinemsbee · December 2014

((HUGS)) @sister13 The blindsides are the worst. I'm spending the holiday season trying not to think too deeply. I just can't handle it.

H's office holiday party is tonight and if that smarmy jackass (one of his co-workers that seems to have issues with what questions are appropriate) starts asking us when we're going to have kids, I'm going to lose it.

EmeJay · December 2014

@sister13

hugs honey ... It sucks. It's up there with the "I'll be pregnant by X" and then you're not.

sister13 · December 2014

Thanks guys, I'm better now after some retail therapy! I will probably look into some more testing at the beginning of the year but I don't imagine that anything has improved over he last two years, but maybe I can find an RE who is a little more receptive to DOR ladies.

nandaboob06 · December 2014

@iPutKetchupOnKetchup‌ there was an article I read about the top 5 or 10 types of porn women watch. Lesbian porn was #1, group sex was #5, gay (male/male) was #3 I believe. But i agree with you and obviously a lot of others do too.

@sister13‌ *hugs* that's all I have right now. Lots of hugs.
