FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

I spent over $300 on a pair of shoes and I don't regret it for a second. Of course this means that I will have to wear them in the state nursing home every day as I sit in my wheelchair in the hallway drooling and yelling at all the people who come and go.

My spin instructor called me "the one with the pretty face." It's possible they just make commission on how many students are in their class, but I'll take it. I lived off that comment for two days.

I'm posting and running because I have to get ready for a meeting and then sit through said meeting for about 2 hours.

So, about my vague "what would you buy with $100 on Amazon" response the other day . . .
Check out my new siggy ticker. I would buy either a new infant carseat, because the one I had for Tatum sucked, or a new breastpump because the one I had for Tatum died. Those are the only two big things I will need for this child - anyone care to recommend either?

I had my annual lady business appointment on Tuesday and Monday night realized "OH SHIT I haven't shaved in like 3 months!"

I didn't have any good razors and didn't feel like going to the store that late, so I used DH's electric razor.

@SusieBW

CONGRATS! We used the Graco Snug Ride 35 car seat and I loved it.
For the breast pump, I have the Ameda Purely Yours. I don't love it, but then again, I don't think I'd love any of them...

Yay! Congrats!!!!!!

As for carseats, we have a Maxi-Cosi because it goes with our stroller, and it sucks big time. Stay far away. We also have a Graco, which was like half the price, ten times easier to install and use, and is rated for a higher weight so it lasted longer. I've heard that the Chicco Keyfit is so awesome it spoils you for all carseats ever after, but I've never used one.

For BPs, I am going to get a new one too so I'll be watching for recs.

Are these the taxi shoes? If not, we need a pic of the hot shoes. @booneybear

Mrs.GinTN · January 2014

It was so cold in the shower at our house last night that I only shaved one leg because I couldn't stand the cold anymore. I should be embarrassed, but I really don't care.

julie37619 · January 2014

My current favorite pair of shoes are hand-me-downs from my sister. She bought them back when she was in high school. They're at least eight years old and perfectly worn in. No shame.

packfan20 · January 2014

Congrats @SusieBW

We had the Chicco KeyFit 30. No complaints.

For a pump I had the Medela Pump In Style Advanced. It was recommended by my SILs and best friend. It worked just fine. Even used it off of batteries in the car a few times. It's not cheap though.

MrsC7 · January 2014

My hair is really long, like halfway down my back. I want to cut it short (think chin length) but I'm afraid. I haven't been short since maybe 2009?

We have the Chicco KeyFit 30 and I loved it as well. It's SO easy to use. I hated my pump, it was the one my insurance company provided for free and it was terrible. I don't even remember what brand it was.

Congrats @SusieBW!

@MrsC7 Yes, it was the Kate Spade Taxi shoes. Back to cheap Target shoes now.

booneybear · January 2014

I have a pair of boots that are at least 25 years old and I still wear the all the time.

I have a pair of shoes that are 12 years old and I absolutely adore them. They're a comfy and broken-in pair of heels. I can't bear to give them up.

Young_Love · January 2014

I splurged on a Kate Spade purse and lied to MH about how much I spent on it.

cnthrdlywt2bwZ · January 2014

I selfishly but unhurriedly cannot wait for my baby to stop breastfeeding.

As soon as she does, I'm becoming the Wine Mom. I'm pouring a glass while I scramble to make dinner every night.

I wish I could love this post more than once.

I did not tell my husband about the Kate Spade shoes or how much they cost. They are still sitting in my office at work.

Congrats @SusieBW! How exciting! I'll second the Graco SnugRide 35. I like the Medela PISA pump but you should check with your insurance to see if they'll pay for a pump before you buy one. My insurance paid for 80% of the cost of my pump.

My confession is that I don't know how Buddy Reads work.

sfgiantsjo · January 2014

JLK (Jennifer, the little girl with the brain tumor) started hospice yesterday. It's too soon. She was supposed to have nine months. It's been three. My confession is that I am SO SO SO ANGRY, and I am beginning to doubt all sorts of things in my life now. FUCK SHITTY STUPID FUCKING CANCER.

SnShne322 · January 2014

my coirker left a sticker on her new sweater. I didn't tell her about. I'm feeling awful about it now.
