My one and only coworker isn't coming in until this afternoon, and I don't have anything pressing that needs to get done. Sooooo I'll probably catch up on Below Deck at my desk.
I've been taking care of my parents' house while they are out of town. My MIL is at ours. Needless to say, I've had to "go take care of the cats" for about 45-90 minutes each night even though it REALLY takes 5 minutes...
@EmilyLove25 Damn, can I come take care of your parents’ cats? I need some cats to attend to until my ILs leave. Ha!
I just got home from work and I have lots to do around the house for DS’s birthday party tomorrow, but I’m going to nap now and wait to start on the house when DH and my parents are here to help me later. Naps are precious and I’m not doing all the work myself. 🤷🏻♀️
@varimama the only reason I've been able to keep my Taco Bell consumption in check is because the nearest one is 45 minutes away. Also, I let my overtired DS have a sip of my Sprite when we were in the insanely long check-out line at Target a couple weeks ago. His face was PRICELESS (think bitter-beer-face), but then he wanted more LOL.
@chichiphin yyyaaaaasssss! I think both Hannah and Kate are my spirit animals. Not that Kate is in this season, but you get what I mean lol.
I loooove Below Deck! I need to catch up! My watching has been slacking due to binging The Office (again!) and Mindhunter recently.
My FFFC is that 1) I just had two bowls of lucky charms for lunch and 2) even though I’m supposed to be on a budget I bought DD some second hand Janie & Jack clothes that I do not intend on telling DH about. I can’t resist their clothes!
@laurenm2123 I had pancakes for dinner last night. And Mindhunter is so good! Although the current plot line is a little tough to watch. Motherhood has made me soft
We started season 2 of Mindhunter last weekend, and I’m excited to watch more. Also, the Righteous Gemstones on HBO is going to be my new favorite show. 🤣
YES YES YES to Mexican food! I honestly haven't ever eaten at Taco Bell (except one time when I was 15, and that was 18 years ago, holy crap)... but I have been dragging my SO to every Mexican restaurant in town, most often this one that's close to home called AC-T-CA. I could survive on chips and queso, I swear!
My fast food craving has been giant roast beef sandwiches from Arby's. For whatever reason, I think about them every day.
@Malidocious we’re like the opposite I haven’t been to an Arby’s since I was a teen lol. Idk if there is even one near us, I will have to investigate.
@MrsVP614 yikes I’d probably have it every day if it were that close! Ours is right where I do most of our shopping though so I pass it at least once a week but usually more!
@laurenm2123@stassischroeder I was so excited to hear about mindhunters season 2 then saw what they are focusing on this season and I don’t think I can do it. Since getting pregnant the first time I’m really affected by that stuff 😢 I struggled a bit with season 3 of true detective but am glad I made it through to the end.

@varimama not gonna lie, its tough to watch. There's even a second story line that's harder to watch than the one in the previews. Motherhood has made me soft, too. Watching Handmaid's Tale is nearly impossible.
@Malidocious OMG now I want a roast beef sandwich from Arby's.
@miss.sally Mmmm chicken fajitas sound delicious! I have been eating a ton of chicken quesadillas lately, too. It's one of the only ways I can find meat enjoyable lately -- covered in cheese of some sort, lol. I usually fill up on chips and queso first (my SO can make amaaaazing homemade queso dip, too!) and then eat the quesadillas later the same night when I'm hungry again.
@varimama I definitely encourage you to go scout the area for an Arby's! Just the idea of a roast beef sandwich from there makes me ravenous, haha! The beef and cheddars are amazing, too. Ugh, I am so hungry!
@stassischroeder Go get a roast beef!! I highly recommend!! Also, I need to catch up on Handmaid's Tale episodes. They've been hitting me in the feels lately so I've been avoiding them. Hormones, man.
@laurenm2123 I completely understand on the aversion to meats. I'm basically the same way. I find myself picking the meat out of my dinners or just filling up on whatever carb-y, gloriously cheesy side dish is there. It's a curse, cuz I usually LOVE meat. The only meat I really find myself interested in is roast beef (from Arby's only) or chicken wings. Everything else, I can easily disregard.
FFFC: I’ve been hiding in the bathroom every night to avoid getting DD dressed for bed. It’s my first week back to work and I’m just too tired for the wrestling match.
Another one: I’m not washing my face tonight. Just too lazy. I’ve been really into skincare and this might be the first time I over a year I’ve skipped washing my face. I just don’t feel like it.
FFFC: Doctor told me to watch my carb intake today....immediately after appt. the husband suggests we go to Olive Garden and I ate a salad and a basket of bread sticks!!! 🤷♀️ It’s all about a healthy balance right? Lol
@silverhope that was me until 2017! Haha. I never washed my face, and somehow I got really into skincare and now I’m pretty religious with it, at least at night time. But yesterday I just did not care.
its kind of funny bc I don’t actually think developing a skincare routine really changed my skin that much. I’ve always had combo skin with occasional hormonal acne and I pretty much still do. It’s a little more hydrated now and I get fewer pimples but it took a loooong time of experimenting to get to this point, and for months my skin actually looked worse than when I wasn’t washing it.
@kantobean I hope to someday do something to get these wrinkles at bay, but I’m scared to use more heavy duty products until I’m not pregnant or nursing. But def could wash my face while pregnant—that’s pure laziness ha .

Oh and +1 on being able to survive on chips and quest. Yum. I make it at home and it’s BOMB.
