UO 9/23

Sigh. I loved Kevin Spacey. 

Anyhoo, let's hear 'em. Here are some of mine, feel free to flame away: 

Afternoon naps are FAR superior to sleeping in. 
Salmon is disgusting. 
Blueberries are a deeply unsatisfying fruit. 
Tea tastes like nothing. 
4pm is the worst hour of the day. I know, that's super random, but it's been true for me for probably my whole adult life, haha.

    I also loved Kevin Spacey and "American Beauty" is my favorite movie of all time. 

    I don't like naps. I always feel weird/worse after I wake up from them. I am very excited I get to sleep in until 7am tomorrow, as I've been getting up at 5:30am to go to the office...so 7am feels like a luxury.

    I never liked blueberries until I got pregnant.

    I also don't like tea - I only drink it when I'm sick, so I associate it with that.

    @fifilala516 I used to feel that way after naps! I think kids ruined me for sleeping in, and when I worked, I was up at 5:15 every morning, so now early mornings are just normal.

    4pm is the best for me, because that's when I can leave work. 

    I used to hate herbal tea, but like/will drink chai now. 

    I will take sleeping in AND a nap. But if I had to choose one or the other, I think is take nap.

    Afternoon naps are FAR superior to sleeping in: before I was pregnant I never took naps unless I was sick, and always loved getting to sleep in, like @fifilala516 I would feel worse after (groggy and still tired) but since being pregnant I don’t like sleeping in, it’s too long to go without eating and naps have been my best friend.

    Salmon is disgusting: I love salmon when it’s prepared well but don’t eat it that often because I don’t want to support the commercial fishing industry.

    Blueberries are a deeply unsatisfying fruit: while they aren’t my favorite fruit I definitely like them. Greek yogurt, blueberries, slivered almonds, a drizzle of honey makes a great snack!

    Tea tastes like nothing: while I much prefer coffee, I like herbal teas on a hot day and hot tea when it’s cold out and I don’t want caffeine. 

    4pm is the worst hour of the day: I don’t think I have a worst hour of the day. That said, I’m much more of a night owl than a morning person.

    My kids love blueberries, and while I’m down with them in yogurt and other things, I don’t like to eat them plain. I blame this on my kids’ diapers after they eat a ton of them. Sorry for that. 😄 

    I think this is why I hate 4pm: when I worked a regular 9-5 job, the 4 o’clock hour just draaaaagged. And then I usually got really tired around then waiting for 5. When I was teaching, I’d usually be at home by then grading papers. Grading papers is the worst. And now as a SAHM, I pick my kids up at 4:3 from school, and when 4:00 rolls around, I usually bum out - not because I’m getting the kids soon, because I love seeing them, but because I take inventory of all the things I didn’t get done with a full day at home, and then get depressed that I wasn’t productive. /negativity 😜

    I can’t nap, love salmon, blueberries are usually mushy and gross, a hot tea with cream and sugar from Dunkin cures all and I’m obsessed, 4pm is usually when I feel like the day is dragging on forever. 

    Apple is superior to pumpkin and PSLs are highly overrated.

    @MrsJessS Have you tried the Apple Crisp Macchiato from Starbucks? My boss is obsessed with it and I tried it and found it to be meh - although I did have iced as opposed to hot. It's still better than a PSL though.

    I think the pumpkin cream cold brew or whatever it’s called is better than the PSL, but I make my own PSL’s at home every morning anyway. It’s like as soon as fall hits, I have to drink them. I’ve heard only horrible things about the Apple crisp macchiato, so I’m afraid to try it 🙈

    @fifilala516 I haven’t. I’ve heard it tastes similar to the chestnut praline latte which is my all time favorite so I may need to. I mostly make coffee at home lol

    Im definitely one of those sleepy girls. Sleeping is one of my favorote past times. I like my naps though. Lately I've gotten in a bad habit.of takimg a short nap every day. 

    Flame away here: I don't like pumpkin anything. 

    Also unlike most women I hate shopping and I hate shoes. I would.much rather have my flip flops year round. And I'd rather be barefoot over my flip flops.

    @AshleyGemini24 I also don’t like shopping! It’s so stressful, especially when I need a particular thing. Wasting a whole day going store to store sucks. But I have to wear socks, like, always… unless it’s super hot outside, and then it’s flip flops. But right when I get home, it’s on with the socks again.

    I can't seem to nap and when I do, it just makes me feel worse. Sleeping in makes me feel like I've wasted the day (and reminds me of major depressive episodes). I actually think I enjoy going to bed early more than anything 😆

    Love salmon. Especially if it is sushi grade and raw. I miss sushi the most!!!

    Blueberries can be so good if they aren't too mealy and/or tasteless. I like them best when they are tart. Also blueberry pie is delicious.

    I am completely indifferent about pumpkin spice. It's OK but I dont seek it out. 

    My UO - I hate the whole team pink/team blue thing (which is why I havent commented on that thread). I have strong feelings about "gendered" colors and get really annoyed with the clothing sections of most major baby stores. Anyone know of any great non-gendered baby clothes brands?
