    Let's stir the pot today with my ever present, always UO....

    I love decaf coffee. It's just fine, it's not pointless. Yes, it doesn't taste quite the same, but really, if you have a good grind/bean, it's still very tasty, without all the nasty side effects. Just don't drink decaf drip coffee. Drip coffee is nasty anyways, and decaf doesn't help. Go for an espresso based drink.

    I only drink coffee every few days or so now, and it's decaf. I don't taste the difference.

    I usually do a regular latte in the morning, and a decaf latte in the afternoon. I love coffee, so yeah - I don't care if it's decaf in the afternoon, it tastes awesome! I can thankfully still stomach my morning coffee, but unfortunately, I've had to ditch my afternoon one because I don't feel up to it. 

    My UO: summer kinda sucks. I hate the heat, it's just insufferable to live in it. If we could just max out at 75 degrees, that would be perfect. The only good thing about hot weather is the evening, where at least here, it falls to a lovely... you guessed it! 75 degrees.

    @fifilala516 I've never been a big coffee drinker myself. I honestly don't care or notice if it's caffeinated or decaf. 

    @Lisa3379 I love summer break, but I'm with you on the heat.  I'm such a baby in hot weather, and I have a feeling being pregnant is only going to make it worse.  I plan to park my booty by the pool as much as I can. 

    I'll come back with an UO. Don't have one right now that I can think of.

    @Lisa3379 I am with you - the summer is my LEAST favorite season. Heat and humidity? No thank you. Air-conditioning? Yes.

    @lisa3379 I hate summer so much. I live in the south and it's the freaking worst. It was 90F already earlier this week, I'm not ready 🥵 at least I'll be less pregnant this summer, compared to an October due date? 😂

    @magalina_h The best part about having winter babies is that yeah, we'll be pregnant during summer, but we'll be way more comfortable than if we were having summer babies! 

    @MrsJessS So jealous! I would move to Vancouver tomorrow if my husband could still do his current job. Perfect weather. And LOL about The Office. I love that show, but it's kinda like Seinfeld - people either love it or they hate it. I knocked out the entire series of The Office in about a month right after my first was born.

    @Lisa3379 it’s so nice! I grew up in WA then spent a long time all over the south. So this was a very welcome change!! The cost of living is so much higher. But I love the area

    @MrsJessS I know people have different tastes in shows but whaaa? It’s so good. Rewatching it got us through the first couple weeks of newborn days. DS heard the theme song so much in those early days that anytime he heard it after that he would stop and dance. 

    @Lisa3379 @magalina_h I’m actually excited to be postpartum Jan-April while it’ll still be cold here. Hello large shirts and leggings!

    @MrsJessS @appleblossom8317 I don't find "The Office" funny. Or "Friends." Never did.

    @appleblossom8317 oooh that's such a good point about post partum. With a early Jan due date, I don't have the debate on what "type of clothes do I need for a going home outfit"! It's either cold or cold-ish, so long sleeves always work. None of this "well it could be 50F but it could also be 90F" 😂

    @fifilala516 I could never get into Friends, either. I just don't get the appeal of that one.

    @fifilala516 @Lisa3379 my UO was going to be Friends sucks!!  haha
     
    The Office is great though I didn’t watch it till recently because I usually hate things like that.

    My other UO is coffee sucks. It tastes horrible. Can’t stand the smell. I don’t get the appeal.

    @laurabridget same with the coffee! I like sugary specialty drinks from Starbucks and a local place, but I don’t actually like coffee. My MIL always throws a fit when she visits bc we don’t have a coffee maker so we bought here some instant coffee and were like “here ya go!”

    All of you Friends haters, I can't understand you! I LOVE me some Friends! I'll admit though that the first 2 seasons - watching them back now, are not as great. But the show as a whole is amazing!


     @Lisa3379 with my first, I was only pregnant Aug-March, so I got to skip summer entirely!

    @laurabridget @appleblossom8317 what with the coffee hate?! It's basically my lifeblood.

    Mine might be that I have never, and don't intend to, seen an episode of Grey's Anatomy. It just doesn't look good enough to spend my time watching....

    And this may not be an UO here, but I love Justin Bieber.

    Didnt keep up the the tags. Sorry guys. But let me comment. So here goes. Spring is my favorote season. Not too hot. Not too cold. Just a rainy mess. Friends was ok. Amd I'll watch it but I'm not CRAZY about it. I've never watched the office. It never really interested me. And i love Grey's Anatomy. DH and I binge watched from season 1. We domt have cable so I always catch it a few days late. This last season isnt as good but I still watch it. And of all things I'm gomna struggle.with this Pregnancy is my coffee intake. I can ams sometimes do drink coffee all day. 
     My UO is Starbucks is overpriced and their coffee is not worth the price. I occasionally will indulge. But I think its mostly just coffee snobs that rave about Starbucks.

    @dani_0921 I also have never seen an episode of "Grey's Anatomy." The lead actress annoys me.

    @AshleyGemini24 I’m a bit of a coffee snob and Starbucks, unless it’s chock full of caramel, is not good at all.

    I occasionally do Starbucks' doctored up coffee drinks, but prefer Caribou. There's just not as many in my area. I'm not a big coffee drinker anyway, so I'm as far from a coffee snob as you can get. 
    I much prefer Chai.

    My unpopular opinion is that I LOVE heat and humidity. I have had 2 summer babies loved being pregnant in summer. I desperately want to move somewhere south so I can have year-round summer (It is actually my life goal and I think about it every day) I cannot recall a single time where I have ever felt uncomfortably warm. However I cannot stand the sensation of being cool/cold. I do really despise air conditioning. My husband, MIL and pretty much everyone in my life disagrees with my preference on this point. If anyone living down south wants to switch me places-  hit me up, I am in Ontario Canada :)
