Ooh here’s my FFFC: I finally got my shit together and mailed my (late) registration renewal. It was a pain that involved 20 minutes on hold and a notary public but at the same time wouldn’t have been that difficult if I’d just written down everything to send when I did it last year. Now I am treating myself to a Sonic milkshake to reward my adulting.

I'm not tagging because it's hard to keep track of who likes and dislikes which drinks, but I will weigh in.
beer is disgusting swill
mojitos are phenomenal
I am so glad to hear that I can drink and breastfeed! I definitely plan on doing that. I don't normally have more than a drink or two at a time so it should be fine.
Also, @countrygirl624 I definitely don't think being laid back about baby stuff makes you a bad mom. I have been spending a lot of time on it, but I'm pretty sure it's motivated by my anxiety. I wish I was chill like you.
@PensiveCrayon Adulting is hard...you you some of that milkshake! Also, when I start typing out your name, my mind wants to type penis. My brain be fried, yo.
@katy0990 You're welcome...I hope it helps with the road trip!
@offtoneverland Fear not, I'm pretty sure lurkers would consider us pretty snoozy, too. We're active, but for the most part undramatic. Which I will take over llama dramas any day of the week.
@AGK2015 Totally! A little drama is fun every once in a while, but the huge dramatic fights are irritating. That's the good thing about November--since it's a small group, we're pretty close-knit and everyone has gotten to know each other pretty well.
Re: Drama / lurking I'm a big fan of zero percent drama, so I'm happy here! No need to peek on other boards, but maybe one day I will. *shrugs shoulders*
Re: booze I love pretty much all alcoholic options, but I'm sticking to just wine and beer - no liquor...despite my intense love of vodka mixed in anything. I could totally down a yard of mojito though, I love the super powered minty coolness. I have decided though that if I do end up in a restaurant that offers yummy frozen drinks, I'll ask for a virgin something, with a shot on the side - just so I can be in control of any liquor intake.
I don't think that my lunch wine or late nap are FFFC-worthy...so uh...NKOTB! I was super into them as Little Echo. I had all of their Barbies and collected the dorky fangirl books. I was super into Danny because I'm a creep.

It makes me happy after a long day to come here and read the non dramatic posts! I don’t always comment but I like to like the posts!
I was a bartender for years so I like all the drinks if made properly and agree with whoever said they like the drink the fits the occasion, beer = ballpark, wine = girls night gossip, vodka = getting down #mymovesarelit
I also haven’t bought anything for this baby nor did I buy anything for my first until I was well past 20 weeks.
@LLynde5 I feel like we're going to be good friends lol. I was the one who mentioned the drink fitting the occasion, and I bartender for a few months in college! Would have been longer if I stayed in school, but it just wasn't for me. The bar was a 70's nightclub and my favorite thing to make was rainbow shots because people were always amazed lol. One shaker, 6 glasses, only one pour, 6 colors come out. Drunk college kids are entertaining when you're sober lol
@hkom, conversely, I am chilling in pants commando because only some of my undies are comfy now and they are all dirty. Bedrooms are 3rd floor, laundry is 1st floor & I just don't wanna adult. lol
Alcohol- I have never drank much. Like one or two every few months. I will drink a beer if it's my only option, but it has to be a pale ale or hard cider- I'm also actually allergic to hops and yeast. Maybe barley too (I'm allergic to like 55 food things, but my stance is I'll stop when I need an epi pen- chocolate and coffee are on the list!!!). I mostly only like sweet & creamy drinks. Wines I like moscato, ice wine & white zinfandel. I prefer bourbon cream, baileys, and amarula. Also margaritas!
@mommythlegend mmmmmmm bailey's! I've never tried bourbon cream, but LOVE bourbon. Also, what is amarula??? I'm so curious and want to try these yummy sounding drinks!
@scaredunprepared I recommend Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream. Way better than Baileys! Never tried it til I lived in KY, so good! Amarula is a fruit from south Africa & they make a creamy liquor with the name. It's yum
I feel like I push it sometimes on doing things I probably shouldn't be doing. For one, I still clean the litter boxes (my husband and I take turns though, so he does it one night and I do it the next. I were long gloves though, which my doctor was ok with). Second, I volunteer at a wildlife nature center and still handle some of the animals and clean their cages. Recently, it's been mostly baby bunnies, squirrels, and birds. They know I'm pregnant though, so I don't think they would have me doing anything I shouldn't.
@CecilB93 Where did you bartend? Sounds like Funkytown to me! ETA: I may have mentioned before, but I bartended at Houlihans Leawood (along with a bar in Emporia during college and one in Montrose CO...I retired after that. ).

Lol, no, we have not moved to an FB group. It's just really really quiet. I have no idea why! I guess we only have a few people who post regularly.
And I totally take offense to us being called a snooze fest! Haha, just kidding.
