confessions.
i bought jwoww's indoor tanning lotion.
the Easter bunny came early and brought me $30 worth of Dove chocolate. I have two truffles left. 
andys office has been closed all week for a water main break, and his scheduled bi-weekly day off is tomorrow, and he has off on Monday for the holiday. he did have to work today, but im still bitter. he gets paid and it doesnt count against any of his leave time.
my mom complains that i never see her (lie) and that i never stay over (why would i? they live ten minutes away from where i live in a house that i pay a mortgage on). so last weekend i was going to stay over and do the tie eggs. we had lunch on saturday and she said, "well since i had lunch with you, youre not coming up tonight then are you?" so i felt like she didnt want to see me and i was kind of bummed but i went home and got take out sushi and watched SATC2. then the next day she said, "even with Andy away you still didnt spend any time with me!!" *facepalm* i cant win. i give up.
Re: confessions.
I have her book... ?_?
Today is my birthday, and I love using it to my advantage. For example, I told Starbucks it was my birthday today, and they comped my drink. YAY!
This weekend is our first overnight away from Samma, and as much as it's going to sadden me, a part of me is looking forward to a night of uninterrupted sleep, or NOT having to get up at 5am for a feeding...
Sometimes, especially on slow days, I miss SW2B's antics.... it's been 2 weeks since her last post and I'm starting to get concerned for her well-being.

I read Snooki's book.
The other night, I changed my toe polish and smudged my big toe. I just wiped it all off and decided to fix it in the morning since I was about to go to bed. This was Sat night and it's Thursday and still no fix. I'm getting a pedicure tom w/ Mom and am thinking I should fix it so they don't shame me... but I prob won't.
A friend of my Brother lost their 4 month old daughter early last week. I haven't seen or talked to him in about 4 yrs, but for some reason, I have been sobbing my eyes out over it. Especially after Brother told me about her service last Fri. And every time the friend posts on fb and I see her little face as his picture, I'm a hysterical mess. I don't know why this is bothering me so much...
Earlier this week I sent Guy a list of emerald jewelry. I would like for him to choose one to give me as a b-day present because I want an Ellie's Birthstone heirloom. Yesterday, he sent me back a list of random ass stuff to get him for his birthday (a pet penguin, a giant gummi bear on a stick, a flux capacitor...) I think he missed the point. I want bling. Dammit.
last week's planned sex didn't happen due to Ellie waking up in the middle of it. So I was really geared up for it this weekend....aaaaand I got my period today. Stupid stupid stupid.
I have failed miserably at my attempt to keep my nails painted so I wouldn't chew them. But, I refuse to pay for acrylics or anything of the like. I'm cheap like that.
I can't wait to go to PA in October just so I can load up on Tastykakes.
I don't get the appeal of Vera Bradley bags. I think they look like the sewing bags all the old ladies in my town carry. Then again, I've never claimed to be fashion savvy.
Alex and I went shopping with my younger sister yesterday. She's on break and I wanted to get Easter things for Alex. It's the first time I've fibbed to Joel about how much I spent. Total I think I spent $100, I told him I spent $80. I know we are only talking about $20 but I know he would have been more annoyed with me if I said $100.
I need to go see a dr in st. louis in may and I'm not putting off scheduling because I don't want to see my mom. This is a terrible call, and I can't help it.
I'm asking for all frivolous gifts this year because next year at this time we'll either be pg or spending all our money on if treatments.
I don't know what to buy my husband for his birthday. This is bugging me more than necessary.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Aww! I hope you get some, that's a sweet idea! I loveeee emerald jewelry!

ME NEITHER! I think they are fugly fug FUG!
I don't get it either.
I wanted to unfriend a photographer that I know because she liked Glen Beck on Facebook. I didn't, but I hate that I think of it when I see her pictures.
I've really admired my fingerprints today.

Sorry MB...you know I love you.
I'm getting really sick of my friends calling me only when they need my help with something. I call them all the time, leave messages and they never bother to return the call. It's just really frustrating and disappointing that they don't seem to be interested in actually hanging out with me.
TBH I thought the same thing at first, especially since it's all my grandmother owns, but the more I started looking into them, and collecting them myself, the more they grew on me. That and some of the patterns and styles are just so beyond what my grandmother would carry... Love. ?

Thank goodness I'm not alone! I was beginning to think that I'm the only girl that doesn't think they're fabulous.
Ditto Ames, MB I lurve you and you know it
You're forgiven. ?

We watched Parenthood last night. I was crying before they even finished rolling the opening credits. Robin was giving me the side eye. That stinking show gets me every time!
Also, we skipped school yesterday. Not really sick, just lazy. We just had Spring Break last week too.
despite having GD- I have eaten three donuts this week and a cookie- bad move but I wanted one. I know I wont get them for a LONG time when I am home, however, I just felt the need. I should have been eating a decent breakfast and instead I pull that. I feel like I need a workout but the baby is just pulling too much out of me. I am hoping for a walk tonight to make up for it!
I havent done sh!t at work today and dont plan on it. This is really bad I know but I just dont feel like it.
I'm really scared to tell my boss that I'm PG.
I know she'll be ok with it, but I feel like she's going to mad that I'm taking time off right after she sends me back to school. I know there's nothing legally she can do, but I feel like I'm going to disappoint her.
And honestly, she scares the crap out of me. She's really intimidating!
Ditto.
Ever since I had Nate I'd rather sleep than have sex. If I have sex it's mostly because I don't want K to look for it elsewhere.
I drink more now that I'm a Mom (No flaming; I'm talking about a glass of wine every other night
I sometimes wish I was still breastfeeding and cry that it didn't work out.
Speaking of working out... I worked out 5 times a week when I was pregnant but now it's down to 1 day a week.
I'm insanely jealous of women that were able to easily adjust to their new post baby life; it has been really challenging for me.
Oh definitely.

No flames here. I appreciate unwinding with a glass of wine much more these days.
Nice! I had a small glass of wine once a week 2nd and 3rd tri.. Cheers!
