It didn't look like we had a new randoms thread for a couple weeks... Correct me if I'm wrong!
Re: Weekly Randoms (Nov 17)
DH doesn't push anymore.
@wnn1992 I hope you love your new phone! Loyal iPhone user here and I think you will
DH is playing a show tonight, so the pup and I are lying on the couch with a fire going and cheesy Christmas movies playing. All I want for dinner is eggnog and pumpkin pie. Totally healthy.
@wnn1992 you’ll love the iPhone! I’ve found them to be very user friendly over the years.
@alexandraseattle I feel you on the eggnog and pumpkin pie! Yum!

We decorated a couple weeks ago for one big reason. Most of my decorations were my parents and since they're no longer with us, I like having their stuff out for longer than just the month of December. The nostalgia is comforting and Christmas is my favorite season anyway. So, today, DH helped me clean the house (he scrubbed the shower with bleach. Bless him!), DS vacuumed his room (he's 4 so....he did an ok job haha), we took the dogs to the groomer to be bathed, and I got a few errands done that we needed to do before Thanksgiving. DH works Monday this week, and took off Tuesday for DS's thanksgiving feast at preschool. I am super excited about it because the preschool parents are all super involved, in like, when there's an event EVERYBODY plus grandparents comes. Nobody shared that with us, and DH is the only one working and he's saving his days for when baby comes, so he isn't able to take off much. SO, having him at the preschool feast will be an exciting treat

DH and I went to a farmers market today that a coworker of mine runs and we found the best macaroni and cheese known to man. I literally teared up it was so delicious. It was the perfect blend of creamy, Smokey, cheesiness. My new mission in life is to figure out how to recreate it.

I am totally checked out at work given it’s Thanksgiving week. My entire fam is coming from Illinois on Wednesday & DD is super excited to see her cousins and grandma.
Baby’s nursery is freshly painted and so is DD’s big girl room. I just keep watching for some black Friday deals on rugs for their rooms.
Also, I have changed my due date to early Jan so I can match completion discounts w black Friday deals. I wonder if I could add on completion discounts w what’s already on sale for black Friday/cyber Monday?! I registered everywhere - Target, BBB, Amazon, etc.
We hosted Friendsgiving last night and fried our turkey for the first time ever. DH is still alive and well thankfully and we’ll never go back as this fried turkey was one of the juiciest bird we’ve ever had (crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, lol).
@AliKay20 oh lawd yes I should get the nursery rug on black Friday/cyber Monday! Thank you for the idea! Rugs are so expensive but whatchya gonna do?
I am SO PROUD of myself. I prepped everything needed to make slow cooker beef stew last night & turned it on low before heading out the door this morning. So excited to come home to a house that smells like beefy heaven & zero cooking/mess making tonight. Oh and obviously French bread slathered in butter to dip. Is it 4 o'clock yet? Any weight-gaining fucks I had previously (already minimal) have flown out the window between my GTT coming back in the clear, holidays & just general third tri apathy. Yolo.
Going to try to keep the house extra clean this week because baby shower is on Saturday and I have some pretty crazy anxiety about all the shit we're about to get/bring home. I mean, I'm obviously super excited for it all but it's going to be a TON of stuff. Cleaned out LG's closet (of all my stuff) & gave two huge boxes of stuff we almost never use to Goodwill this weekend in anticipation of the onslaught of baby things. Bring it onnnnnnnn.
@AliKay20 omg fried turkey is the BEST!!! DH makes one every year since I’ve known him and it’s the best part of thanksgiving. Glad nobody was maimed while trying to cook it too. There can be a steep learning curve lol.

One of our fave bbq restaurants does smoked turkeys and they're sooo good! And they usually have smoked Turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving with this mouthwatering cranberry sauce.
I also got all the xmas presents, stocking stuffers, and DD's birthday presents (Feb birthday) lined up.

@jgil85 I’m waiting for that nesting energy boost! I need it!
I told my mom I’d bring a salad and dinner rolls for Thanksgiving and now starting to freak out! Today ended up much busier at work than I anticipated so wasn’t able to sneak away to the grocery store- I’ll have to squeeze that in now tomorrow after getting my oil change and then to pack to go to my parents for Thanksgiving- ugh!!!
Bed Bath & Beyond and Buy Buy Baby have 15% off on select Baby Jogger strollers and car seats until 12/2! And you can stack that with a 20% off a single item coupon! So my mom just got us the City Mini GT double for a little under $400 (pre-tax)! It’s normally $579.99!
