today marks another sober st. patrick's day. i have made a tally in my notebook of drinks i need to make up for in October.
Yup. It's a good thing I'll only be pregnant for half of football season. But my tally includes missing all of baseball season and the BBQ holidays!
As far as drinking seasons go, nothing could be worse than a February baby. With DS I was pregnant for the whole summer, all of football season including the super bowl, and the holidays. This time around I'm missing out on St Patrick's day and March Madness but I'll take it in exchange for the holidays and most of football season. And I'll be far enough along during the summer to have the occasional sip of a drink without feeling guilty.
The new girl at work offered to bring us Starbucks. She was going to pay for it... but I have several gift cards with some petty balances on them...
So I unloaded my gift cards upon her! Poor girl. But hey, at least I'm paying for em?
who in their right mind offers to buy SB for people?! i will buy you as many DD coffees as you want. but i would have to take out a second mortgage to cover all the SB coffees. i have a lot of rage about this.
October pregnancies are the best. you find out after the holidays. summers fly by because you are so busy. then BOOM it is baby time...just in time to down some pumpkin beers and get crunk for the holidays.
@carries2018 I worked at a school once where we would take turns running to a local coffee shop to pick up coffee for our grade level (there were 8 or 9 of us). No big deal. The coffee there was, like, $1.50. Anyway, one day my teaching partner says he's going on a coffee run and wants to try Starbucks cause he never has. He offers to pick up for the rest of us. We all say yes and start reaching for our wallets, but he turns us down. We asked if he was sure and he was adamant that he was paying and off he went with a smile.
@Sparklelily TBH I've always kind of felt this way about destination weddings. They put a huge financial burden on guests and make some feel bad/left out when they can't participate. My sister is going through this right now. I agree with doing it your way when doing a destination wedding.

weddings in general annoy me. it is just a big shabang of one upping the last one. i think i have been to 1 wedding in the past 5 years where i felt like it was about the love/relationship, and not about the things. i dont care about your clever favors, or signage, hashtag, or over the top dresses and lights. i want a dance floor, steak, and (free) alcohol...oh and feel like you you two actually like each other.
I am so sick right now. I lost one of my diamond earrings DH got me for our first wedding anniversary. Jewelry like that isn't exactly an everyday thing in our house, in fact these earrings are the only fine jewelry I own besides my wedding set. I treasure them. I should not have taken them traveling and I can't stop crying. In the airport.
Not to mention, I'm on a two hour layover in Kansas City, and I'm sure it's a wonderful city, and no offense meant to any Kansas or Missouri folks but the airport is the absolute worst.
Yeah, so I originally I was a bit biased towards people being meanies and Nazis. Seriously can't get enough now, and I'm feeling a bit let down that there just isn't enough snark. 3 pages of FFFC and no drama. WTF! @jessafishy thank you for taking one for the team with your warning

ugh the whining "mom...mommy...mama...mommmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" why...WHY...are they never whining for daddy!?
All of this ^^^ DH thinks it's hilarious to have DD scream this all the time! I think it's hysterical though when she gets to Mother and it sounds more like Mudder.
Oh I'm so late with mine but I better say it here and now before I forget this Friday !
I've already noted who I'm cool with friending on FB already and those I'm like NO flipping way.

Some of us need to do some list sharing further down the road. There's a couple ladies I do not want to end up on FB with. But I second @canonmom413 that there are some women I would happily friend now
eta: def too early for a fb group though, I'm completely in agreement there!
My post it is on a spreadsheet. Good idea on adding my "FB friend potential list" to that @canonmom413.

No real talks. Just I have a list in my head of " you're cool . I trust ya. " and lists of " you're a whackadoodle . No way!" @jessafishy@bluejeanbabi05. And I totally agree not ready for a rea FB group for the BMB. I meant more so personal page.

Do you have columns like "Link to profile" and "Quote that triggered the side eye"? And are they colour coded on degree of dislike? Poopy brown colour for the worst offenders of course.
@buttercream_frosting yes to the links but no to the color coding. That's brilliant!
