Re: Randomly Tuesday
Also, the Money Matters board can be really helpful for improving your financial situation. I found that being part of that community just helped us to be more on top of things. I know D&MJ hangs out there a bit.
Going dark is so in right now.
Wendy, I never know what I want done with my hair. I sit in the chair and usually blurt out, "just a trim" or "chop it short" w/out thinking.
Right now, I'm growing mine out to donate. I should be close to donating length soon. And then, I don't know what I'm going to do.
We had a force clean and purge of the fridge last night. Yesterday afternoon, I noticed a big puddle in front of our fridge. We found that the freezer was iced where the water comes in to make the ice. Jim took everything out, and we unplugged for a thaw. Luckily things could sit on our side porch because it's winter and cold... wait, never mind.
So, it's thawed, and cleaned, and the food is back in the fridge. I'm so glad we have the freezer downstairs. Things can stay in there while I monitor the freezers workings today.
I chopped mine when I was about 8 months along last time. Probably end up doing the same this time.
lol.
50's today! Yeah, baby.
Remember a week ago when I said that I felt uneasy because my boss was acting weird and I felt like there was somethin big going on? I was right. She just looped me in. There were some major issues that she was dealing with, but most of it has blown over, I guess -- for better or worse. I wasn't just being paranoid, though. Something was definitely going on.
I've totally been struggling lately with what to do with my hair! I had it short for a couple of years. Then I got bored and decided to grow it out. It's been in the in between stages for the past few months and I've been really disliking it and wanting to cut it short again. But then the other part of me wants to stick it out and continue to grow it. I go back and forth.
And then, color. I don't love the color it's been lately. I tried to go darker/reddish last year, but the red didn't stick and it just didn't work. B always wants me to go blonder, but I don't know.
Hmmmm.... you got some news, lady?
That is totally me! I usually get there and ask Brittany (my stylist) "have any ideas?" LOL.
Maybe I will keep the length and go dark. I've been reading more and more about henna so if I go dark now I could experiment later. And, ironically, DH prefers me with dark hair. He's always liked girls with dark hair (which is weird, because I have always highlighted and was pretty platinum when we met).
Kasa, you are very perceptive to the moods of others (was that in your myers briggs profile?). I'm glad it's blown over.
No, just the opposite actually. The survey said one of my faults was not always recognizing emotion in others.
My boss and I have just worked really closely together for almost 7 years now. We literally finish each others sentences. So, it's easy for me to recognize when something is off with her. Plus, she's terrible at hiding it. I don't know where she falls in Myers Briggs, but she cannot hide her emotions at all.
Nooooo ma'am! maybe early next year though. Job and house first...
Does this sound like a panic attack:
Me, too. Word for word.
I thought that was the plan, but "not that far away" had my eyebrow lifted.
Sooo...still no baby.
I am flabbergasted by this entire situation. I'm measuring about 5 and a half weeks. Today's u/s was an improvement over last week, I'm progressing. But how in the world did I discover I was pregnant at 3.5 weeks when 1) we weren't trying 2) I swear my period was a week late? It makes no sense. I must have ovulated really, really, really late last cycle.
This is going to be the longest 9 months ever. 3.5 weeks? Who does that?
Are they going to do another blood test? What's the plan? I'm sorry for the weirdness of this for you.
The Nest is being so annoying. This was a dup, sorry.
Yes, it is. I just typed out a response and it disappeared.
Anyway, I said something like:
It's my fault. I feel like an idiot.
The u/s tech said the OB will probably order another u/s. I meet with her tomorrow afternoon.
I used to be jealous of girls that got a bunch of u/s...
I see my med doc tomorrow so I will mention this to her.
Mol, you're not an idiot! Are you saying it's your fault because you found out so early?
Did the tech mention checking your tube area?
Yes, that and I should keep better track of my periods.
She didn't mention it, but she probably checked the tube area. She checked everything else it seems.
She printed me off a picture. The amniotic fluid sac is "huge" compared to last week. It's measuring about 5.5 weeks. The baby should start developing in the yolk sac in the next 3-5 days.
I'm sure everything is fine, I'm just 2-3 weeks behind where I thought I was.
Molly- i call that being diligent. You thought so, and you checked it. No idiots on my radar. You're in tune with your body. Good for you!
Reading this has taught me that I have a lot to learn about babies and such.
