Can we do a random post thread?

ChuggingWater · December 2014

You know, random thoughts you have that don't necessarily deserve their own posts. (This used to be way popular back in the day.)
So, you add your own random thoughts.
Let's give it a try.
Come on, folks.

1. I told my husband not to spend any money until I balance the checkbook. I just ordered my sister's boyfriend's Christmas present from etsy. Oops! #doublestandard #byweImeanyou

2. I accidentally sewed BigBoyChug's cub scout patch on the wrong pocket. I need to fix that right meow.

3. I'm thinking maybe I should curb my coffee intake. I haven't had it since before my wisdom teeth extraction, and I notice my anxiety is less.

4. I hope other people actually participate because this place is DEAD.

Burrito fixings: how do I choose??? Standing in line right now. I want all the things.

@ugotstarbucked Chipotle? corn salsa and sour cream. Always and forever.

I offered a coworker a ride to her hometown for the holidays, which is where DH's family is. Problem is... I totally didn't take into consideration all of her crap she will want to put in our car - her luggage, presents, etc. We have to bring us two, our puppy (and his crate, food, bed), our suitcase, and our gifts. And, it's all got to fit in my Corolla's small-ass trunk.

So, while I feel like I'm doing a good deed, I kind of regret being so damn nice.

Hopefully no cobwebs in the vaginas. That is bad for baby making business.

I'm not active enough here yet to feel like I can post in these threads (but I am anyways :-p)

@Chad5285's avatar and siggy make me think we would get along very well, but I didn't know where else to call her out :-p

and now I want Chipotle.

ChuggingWater · December 2014

@rbtrumpet How are you not active enough? Perfect place to be more active.

besides, I recognize you from when you were here before you got your BFP!

I'm a creeper and even remember your siggy.

Realized that apparently at my workplace, staff members give small gifts to each other at Christmas. I didn't know this... I have now been given cookies, muffins, a cross-stitched custom bookmark, and several small ornaments. I have no idea what to get everyone. My only idea is some donuts and coffee...

rbtrumpet · December 2014

@ChuggingWater‌ - we're just starting to try for #2, so I haven't been super active over here in over a year. And I'm so busy, especially with work, that I don't usually get on more than once a day.

ETA: but I remember you from when I was here too

ETA2: I recognized a few of you, that's why I commented on this thread

I also hate being really slow on mobile :-p

Cythe · December 2014

I too, want Chipotle. Damn you guys.

I love random threads. My random today is my tulips are blooming!!1! H bought me a pot because he knows how much I wish to garden, but cannot.

If regulars flame enough people for diary posts or saying something in way that doesn't give everyone warm fuzzies, then people will generally shut up or go find another board...

ChuggingWater · December 2014

@trickyjedi I was worried you wouldn't pick that option!

I didn't want to be disappointed.

My sister made cupcakes in a jar from pinterest and she said they were good.

cupcakes =/= salad

Cupcakes are pretty sure to be yummy even if they are a hot mess.

Salads could get soggy.

I am in love with Ryan Dunn, and I am so sad he's dead. I've been a Jackass fan since the show first started and I binge-watched all of the movies and the first season this weekend.

I love him too! I met him a couple times, I used to work at this gokart place and they all used to come in. He was so nice!

Have I missed something? I haven't really seen any flames lately.

vh2014 · December 2014

I should be working but I have absolutely no motivation and TTC >35 is dead so decided to try and get active over here since I intro'ed a while ago.

Wondering if I can get throught he rest of the afternoon without doing any real difficult work... I'm a slacker today...

Chipotle sounds amazing.

No weiners... too many small ones at the Christmas party... in BBQ sauce.

I also do not get the concept of "overnight oats" in mason jars. Does that not just turn into a huge jar of sludge?

I tried making Ina Garten's overnight oatmeal in a jar and when it was done I thought I could hang wallpaper with it. So gross.

I tried a bunch of recipes for steel cut oats recently, including a few overnight ones. IDK, none of them came out right, they were all completely inedible. I'll stick to old fashioned.

lvlyldybmp · December 2014

I really really need to clean my house and go to the gym, there's a 90% chance that all I'll do is eat peppermint cookie ice cream and watch tv

Eh?

These aren't exactly the people I want sticking around anyway.

Yes, I know. I believe that's a pretty popular opinion around here. I'm just saying that things can get a little slow/boring when the same people are discussing the same things in the same ways.

But that is usually what newbies get flamed for. Discussing the same things that have already been discussed.

I lost my shit the other day.

My grandmother passed away in September. We were super close and she loved christmas. Over the weekend we were watching that old claymation "The Year Without a Santa Claus" and the song Blue Christmas came on.

I have a picture of her sitting on the bookshelf and Kieran came over with a toy and said "here grandma" and put it next to the frame.

Cue ugly cry.

The crazies seem to be migrating to BOTB. The board has been overrun with "Am I Pregnant?" and "Should we TTC right now?" posts. They've nearly driven off the regs. So sad.

Exactly. I don't recognize 70% of the posters here.

But I guess I should accept that TTGP will always be a revolving door.

Hi!

Don't fret, I won't ask those things. I'm here for the snark and camaraderie.

@vh2014‌ there are a few of us >35 here. I just stay here.

I think I'm going to spend some more time here. There were just a lot of trolls shortly after I intro'ed and we didnt' have them on >35... but lots more going on here so I'm going to try to do both. I have lurked quite a bit and LOVE the "personality".

I think this is why I don't post much yet - I'm still learning who is a regular, and who isn't. I was nice to a troll the other day...

I don't bother posting on those because I have nothing to offer. Other than those it has been dead lately. I've been happy to see some BFPs recently - some of them have made me cry

Hope the posts turn for the better soon!

my random is to AW the awesome sandwich I just made. It was Colby jack and honey bbq chicken on Sourdough. I totes want another one.

Also, I had so much to do outside the house today but DD is cranky so I felt a nap was more important (we got in at 10 last night from my parent's house). Now she's refusing to sleep and I still have all this stuff to do!

I haven't run since my half marathon almost 2 months ago...I have passing thoughts of "maybe I'll go for a run tomorrow"...but I have yet to act on it. Ditto, but worse. I ran a half marathon three years ago and haven't done anything aside from a Tough Mudder and a Triathlon since... and both of those were over one year ago.

I think my running days are over.

I think it goes something like "I think the person below me drives a purple PT Cruiser", and the person responding below responds true or false, and then states something that the next person under has to respond to.

start it!

estakis · December 2014

Realizing perhaps I should have gotten my co-workers a small gift. I did last year, and feel that once you do it, you can't go back. Will they expect something? IDK.

Really need my hair trimmed, it's been almost a year. I think DH got me a gift card to the salon, so I'm trying to hold out.

Wanting Chipotle for lunch now. Must resist temptation. I told myself I'd get back on track with the diet today. Boo.

ETA: Gah, I mucked up the true/false game.

The person under me ate Oreo's and vodka for lunch. True or false?

I fucking love Wade Goodwin from NPR. His voice is amazing and I just love him and every story he does. I'm always so thrilled riding to work when I get to hear his voice. I wish more stuff would happen in Texas so he would be on more.

I finished my Christmas shopping early this year and it was all done on Amazon using Prime trial membership. I applied for their credit card and $30 was taken off my total in addition. So I charged everything. So I got free 2 day shipping, $30 off. So this was the easiest Christmas ever.

Amazon Prime has saved my sanity so many times. It's a godsend.

I heart Amazon Prime hardcore.

Holy shit, yes. Love love love.

2BeMrs.GB · December 2014

Christmas is in 10 days.... I should probably start shopping soon...

JuneBugMommy627 · December 2014

After sex last night my SO told me...

"I want a blue dot"
ummmm, what?
"a blue dot, I want my blue dot....in your fertility app thing"

Oh, apparently he wants to see how many "blue dots" he can get in a month....aka how many times we have sex on FF

lmfao apparently he just isn't happy with November's calendar
