- My teeth hurt. Again. I'm putting off going to the dentist. Again. I went six times in October and I want to be done. It never turns out to be as bad as I think it's going to be, but it still just fills me with anxiety whenever I think about it.
- When I went to the doctor yesterday, I stepped on the scale and learned that I've gained back 15 or the 27lbs I lost over the past 8 months. Fuckinghell. I blame Stees and her delicious pumpkin cream cheese muffins with pecan streusel topping.
- I'm trying to get off cheap with Christmas this year, so I told my side of the family that we won't be buying gifts for the adults this year, only the kids. I thought they were going to get mad, but it actually worked out in my favor though because everyone agreed with me that it would be better to just spend our money on the children.
- I could have easily slept all morning.
I've already made plans to go see it with Minion so we can both spare our husbands the misery.
On a related note, I cannot freaking wait for HP 7.2 to come out on DVD, because I still haven't seen it. Shutty. No spoilers!
Agreed- I also haven't seen HP so no spoilers....
I ate an omelet and a cookie for breakfast.... I want more cookies now.
I've had my ticket since October 1st...
Fun, eh?
Haha I'm not that bad -- my sister and I both agreed we'd wait a week for the 'tweens to get it out of their system before we go ;p

lol I'm going on the 18th with a coworker. She even took a 1/2 day from work so she can get in line and save decent seats for us. We're so lame..
*Note: This is long*
We are planning a baby shower for a girl here at work (A). Her friend is planning one too. Well worker (B) has offered to have the work shower for her at her house and plan it. So she asked A if Nov 6th worked. She said no that is the date her friend picked. Fine B then said how about the 13th. Well thats the alternate date if they couldnt get the room for the 6th. Ok. So she finally picked the 20th. Perfect. This was back in October.
So B started ordering things for the 20th (Cake, food, invites, some cute little things with the date on them, etc.) So now on Tuesday A tells B that her friend changed the venue (friend's choice. Not because she couldn't get the room for either date) for her shower to somewhere different and the only date available is the 20th, so now B was told to change her date to the 13th.
After everything has been ordered with dates on them and invites were passed out I think this is quite shiity on A's part seeing as she knew about the date change for over 2 weeks but forgot to tell B. Plus we feel as though this shower is no big deal to her and expects us to just change all our plans because her friend is a flake and keeps changing things up last minute. I think she should have told her friend, sorry but I already have a shower planned for that day, could you make it for a later date.
That's lame. Know what y'all should do? Cancel her work shower altogether and just bring her damn presents to work. Have cake at lunch. Done and done.
oh hell no. I can't walk without waddling or sit without wincing. OB confirmed at my 34week appt that his head is like, RIGHT THERE. Ouchie.
My mother is pushing me to have a baby, and I admit, I've actually thought about it.
ETA: Not because of her pushing
That's how El was too, and i remember it sucking. Not too much longer, friend!
Because you want a push present?
$4k, baby!

No because Jill told me that if Andy dies first I'll be alone for the rest of my life if I don't have kids.
Ok I know thats not a reason to have a kid, but shes right. But thats also not why I thought about it.
You won't be alone. You'll come live with me and we'll sit in our rocking chairs on the front porch, drinking tea and talking sh!t.
:: baseball slides into this thread::
What the what?!?!?!? If one of my last BNOTB strongholds gives out, I'll need a straight IV of wine, stat!!!! I can't make it through babypalooza without you!!
My confession - I went into a resident's room today to talk to her and she was sleeping. The nurse forgot to put a do not disturbe sign on her door. It was so cozy warm in there and she had this ginormous recliner, I seriously considered putting the do not disturb sign up and napping with her. What stopped me from doing it was not the fear of being fired if I was caught, rather, I didn't want to be some creeper napping in the corner when this lady woke up.
Ah, but now you know, next time she's out playing Bingo....that's the place to hide out and catch some zzz's.
I seriously just pictured this scenerio in my head, and I laughed. Out loud.

I WISH this kid would fall out all ready. I'm just sitting at home... awaiting my contractions... I think I'm going to make Labor Cookies and see if that does anything... I really don't want to wait till the 14th and then be induced... I hope this low pressure system rolling in (or the full moon on the 10th) will do it.
I have been spending way too much money lately simply because it's there. I have no problem buying Adrian a bunch of toys or clothes, but then when it comes time to buy X-Mas presents for other people, or doing things for our house I get cheap. I need to just save more money or spend it on the things we actually need.
I eat like a hefer. And I feel like I look like one too. I haven't weighed myself since I went back to work after ML because I know I have gained weight from sitting behind a desk all day. When I try to diet, my milk supply goes down and I don't have time to exercise when I'm at home. At least my boobs are nice!
I can't stand when people/family complain to me about not having money. It makes me feel like they are asking me to give them some. Maybe once we pay off student loans in eleventy billion years I'll feel more charitable. But for now, I am keeping it (or spending too much of it on Adrian).
Aside from the obvious suckiness of the situation in my post below I think what I'm most freaking out about is that if my uncle dies my cousin will have to go live with her biological mother. This woman is addicted to drugs, has 5 kids with 3 different dads and during my cousin's two summer visit with her last year she told her a) she doesn't have to listen to her stepmom who she lives because she's a *** and not her mother, b) that she should start thinking about experimenting with drugs(!!!!!!!) and c) that she should just runaway from her dad and come live with her and she'd not make her go to school, let her stay out late when she wants, etc... She came back from the visit totally brainwashed by this woman and if she has to go live with her it will ruin her life. I know this is a huge what if and I'm really focusing on the "he's going to be ok" mentality, but it keeps creeping in.
On a related note, I'm completely non-functional at work today and I don't even care.

No worries. I've decided against it. I think I could be a good parent, but the fact is that I don't have the desire to actually parent. I just worry that I'm going to miss out on something with Andy. You know, cut short the marriage experience that everyone else has.
And it wasnt like... hmm maybe I'll have a baby NOW. It was like maybe I shouldnt totally count it out?
But really when it comes down to it, the thought of being a parent still makes me cringe.
