Re: So um, what happened to the Thursday Randoms?

  • I just want to sleep through the next few weeks. 
    Also, I want snickerdoodles so badly so I need to come up with a gluten free recipe, but I'm too tired to make them.  Boo.

  • @shepherdjel, around 25 weeks I switched to a nursing bra and loved it! It was a little bigger and had no underwire. Plus I'm still wearing them now! And if you get a nursing bra I highly recommend one w/out an underwire because it can cause issues with bf-ing.

  • Ended up having a 5 day weekend. I had to go to the hospital yesterday for a small, scheduled procedure and I was told to take it easy afterwards and today. Apparently taking it easy included not going to work today so I am working from home (and currently still in pjs with the tv on). I think my co-worker is a little pissed I'm not in the office but really, if my dr says stay home-I'm going to listen. Plus it got DH to empty and refill the dishwasher last night without me asking-win!

    Also, this means I can bake cookies this afternoon for my trip tomorrow.

    Hope you're feeling better! Definitely milk it and have DH do lots of chores for you!! :)

  • I'm irrationally POed that I can't log in under my username that I had forever, lizabethann06. I had thousands of comments on there. Not cool.

    My book club hasn't been discussing the books we have read the last few times we have met and it bums me out. Call me a nerd but I love actually discussing the books. Lately the conversations have revolved around drinking, pole dancing lessons, complaining about stuff, etc. Which is fine sometimes but at least spend two min talking about the book! I know I know, I'm a party pooper.
  • I am bloated today and feel icky.

    90 books in 2015?

  • 2.) I am going to potty-train my son over the long weekend. He's been going occasionally, like before & after his bath and random times throughout the day, but is still in diapers. I think we are going to go straight to underwear this weekend. Accidents be damned. I've been getting him all excited about it all week.
    I think we're doing it this weekend, too!  I'm so sick of diapers.

    Good luck! We'll have to compare notes.

    Also... I adore Salt-N-Pepa. I still rock out like a big dork to Whatta Man & Shoop! So jealous!

  • I'm seriously contemplating getting certified to be a pilates instructor. I almost called my friend who is one yesterday after a particularly furstrating day at the office to see how I get started. I mentioned it to DH and he gave me a big hug and very sweetly said "whatever you want, babe." I know that in his head he was actually thinking "please just be PMS..."

  • My male cat is staring me down even though it's still an hour until his supper (they get dry food all day but they get a little canned food at 6).  He's so funny.  He acts like he's starving and wasting away even though the dry is there.  The girls participate, too, but they're not as proprietary as he is.

    Are you in my book club? Our meeting was last week, and we talked about the same things. Including pole dancing lessons. It actually was a great chat, but we really didn't discuss the book much.

  • Began potty training today and it's been pretty successful! I'm not normally oversharer about that stuff but my kid is being the cutest about it. I'm psyched that we're going to be a diapers for one kid family again instead of diapers for two!

  • All of you with your bad book club experiences are making me sad lol. I miss being in an IRL book club and offered to start one at my work. Everyone was like "Let's do it! We can drink wine and talk about men and food!"

    =((

    NO. Well yes, but let's talk about books too!

  • Random? Well, I was looking for exercise ball videos last night and came across this video. I was riveted! First it was sexy guy rotating his crotch, then it was "hey, he's got cats!" and then I was just so impressed with all the things he could do with his body -- like an acrobat. Seriously, I watched the whole thing all the way through. You should check it out.

    You are sweet to ask @nocturnalintimacy! I leave for Boston for a work trip next week and I'm feeling overwhelmed with work things. I really like my job, but the mood of this meeting is off and I feel a little out of control emotionally and like my co-workers aren't supporting me. So, a meltdown ensued at my desk.
