This was me as soon as we started talking about an HP NBC GTG :
I'M NOT WORTHY! I have this idea that you are all so beautiful and intelligent and sophisticated, and I am dumb and dumpy and not nearly witty enough to be in your collective presence.
I'm not fancy, y'all.
You're just being ridiculous here.

I
bought a Snoogle a couple weeks ago, not because I'm big enough to need
the extra support but because I fucking love body pillows and DH does
not allow my regular one on the bed but he can't deny me this one
because "it's for the baby". I love it so much.

Enough! All of you! Seriously! Stop it with the self-doubt.
Geez. I'm going to require a "frumpy day" post where we all post a picture of ourselves not at our bests. Nobody is at 100% ALL THE TIME.
My confession is that I am not going to see TFIOS because Shailene Woodley drives me literally insane every time she opens her mouth. I love the book so much, I don't want her to ruin that for me. Also, Ansel DivergentBrother is not my type at all.
@sfgiantsjo - I had an actual nervous breakdown about a week before NYC because I was sure that everyone would hate me and I would be the worst. I ended up having the literal time of my life. So in short, you'll be fine!

J gave me a hard deadline of getting rid of my body pillow after Wes was born. He had to pry it from my hands, but it was taking up SO much of the bed.

I vote for Monday. I am a HOT MESS on Mondays.
This seems like the start of a new regular post. Hot Mess Mondays.
We got back from our weekly bike ride to the store a little bit ago. I was looking at my legs and noticed a spot near my knee looked weird. I thought I had a growth or something. My husband asked me to relax my leg and when I did it went away. It was muscle. Muscle I have never before seen on myself.

I'm feeling woefully inadequate at my job today. I'm relatively new to processing payroll along with it being a entirely new payroll system and my boss isn't here today. The new HR director has had 1000 questions today, and I haven't really been able to confidently answer them. I hate, hate, HATE feeling incompetent.
@sfgiantsjo - I had an actual nervous breakdown about a week before NYC because I was sure that everyone would hate me and I would be the worst. I ended up having the literal time of my life. So in short, you'll be fine!
I had major anxiety before meeting Lauren, Eli and Hoycie, but then when I met them it was just like hanging out with a friend at home. It's really no biggie, and these girls are SO MUCH FUN!

Many nesties on this board have seen me in pjs and no makeup first thing in the morning. In fact, there are pictures out there of exactly this. Nobody cares. It's all about having fun.

If someone is focused more on how you look than what kind of person you are, they aren't worth hanging out with anyway.

True story, my pajama pants split in the butt when Lauren and I went to Miami. I had no backup, so my ass was hanging out for a large chunk of the trip. My ass, FTW!

I bought a Snoogle when I was pretty early in my pregnancy too ("It's for the baby" always seems to work!). It was definitely a wise purchase and I love it even more now that I'm in my 3rd trimester and starting to really get uncomfortable as my baby belly grows! It does take up a ton of space, but my husband works nights and it's just me and the dog in the bed. Our dog LOVES the Snoogle too and I've caught him curled up with it when I'm not using it.
@caseyandlizzie I'm crushing on you hard for that confession.
See, and I never thought I'd have a good confession.

For realz. And if you don't have the confidence, faking it actually does boost your own confidence.

I wasn't nervous about meeting any of you for the first time. I must be oblivious but you guys - we all talk to each other every single freaking day. Unless you're catfishing us, I'm pretty sure we've all decided to like each other by now.

You have the fortune of not being completely insane. I envy that.
I just doubt myself before meeting someone, once I'm actually with them in person, everything is great! Which you would think would teach me that freaking out is unnecessary.
That would be sane, though.
I know that the minute we are all together it will seem like we've always know each other IRL.

We are all totally insane together and it's FABULOUS!
I wish the all NBC GTG would have happened before I had a kid.
