    I don't understand why DG keeps referring to her new book as MOBY.  Did I miss something? *hangs head in shame*
    :-q
    Supposedly when you say the letters WIMOHB as one word, it sounds similar to MOBY.  So that's what she calls it.
    And I think it's the dumbest thing ever and I hate it.

    ::crosses arms::
    MOBY.
    Thanks, ladies.  I agree, dumb. I don't much care for the full title, either--it has no flow to it.  But I will read it, and I cannot wait to do so.

  • This was me as soon as we started talking about an HP NBC GTG :

    I'M NOT WORTHY! I have this idea that you are all so beautiful and intelligent and sophisticated, and I am dumb and dumpy and not nearly witty enough to be in your collective presence. 

    I'm not fancy, y'all.
    You're just being ridiculous here.

  • My confession is pregnancy related:



    I bought a Snoogle a couple weeks ago, not because I'm big enough to need the extra support but because I fucking love body pillows and DH does not allow my regular one on the bed but he can't deny me this one because "it's for the baby". I love it so much.

    J gave me a hard deadline of getting rid of my body pillow after Wes was born.  He had to pry it from my hands, but it was taking up SO much of the bed.

  • We got back from our weekly bike ride to the store a little bit ago.  I was looking at my legs and noticed a spot near my knee looked weird.  I thought I had a growth or something.  My husband asked me to relax my leg and when I did it went away.
    It was muscle.
    Muscle I have never before seen on myself.

  • I'm feeling woefully inadequate at my job today.  I'm relatively new to processing payroll along with it being a entirely new payroll system and my boss isn't here today.  The new HR director has had 1000 questions today, and I haven't really been able to confidently answer them.  I hate, hate, HATE feeling incompetent.

    Many nesties on this board have seen me in pjs and no makeup first thing in the morning.  In fact, there are pictures out there of exactly this.  Nobody cares.  It's all about having fun.

    I bought a Snoogle when I was pretty early in my pregnancy too ("It's for the baby" always seems to work!). It was definitely a wise purchase and I love it even more now that I'm in my 3rd trimester and starting to really get uncomfortable as my baby belly grows! It does take up a ton of space, but my husband works nights and it's just me and the dog in the bed. Our dog LOVES the Snoogle too and I've caught him curled up with it when I'm not using it.

    For realz.  And if you don't have the confidence, faking it actually does boost your own confidence.

    (I "liked" your post because I felt the same... not because I think you are unworthy! :) )

  • I wasn't nervous about meeting any of you for the first time. I must be oblivious but you guys - we all talk to each other every single freaking day. Unless you're catfishing us, I'm pretty sure we've all decided to like each other by now.

    I've had so much fun with everyone I have met.  The majority of them know the deep down to the core me and still like me.  I ain't got no worries.

  • I just doubt myself before meeting someone, once I'm actually with them in person, everything is great! Which you would think would teach me that freaking out is unnecessary.

    That would be sane, though. :) 

    I know that the minute we are all together it will seem like we've always know each other IRL.
