Monday randoms

This place has become painfully slow

What are you up to this week?
Did you watch the super bowl? Or just the commercials? Or none of the above?

What commercial was your favorite?

Re: Monday randoms

  • My MIL is in town which I have a lot of mixed emotions about. I like her and appreciate her so help is nice. But I am a private person and dealing with my own healing and her is awful. And the fact that she is here and not my mom is killing me, but that can't be change.

    We did have the super bowl on and I saw a lot of it, but have a 1 wk old changes things.
    I actually watched both, football isn't my favorite sport but I like a good game.

    The Fiat commercial might have been my favorite. Although avocado one was pretty great too.

  • I'm counting down the days until my maternity leave. I don't know if my hormones make me hate people, or if I'm just starting to see people in a different light, or what but every time someone does something stupid, I respond with the number of weeks I have left to deal with it. Ill be returning after baby, but the 'break' is so necessary right now.

    Also, LO keeps kicking me in places that feel like he's going to drop out, and/or damage my urethra. Sorry for the TMI, but I literally feel like he soccer kicks and my urethra is going to fall out. Impossible I know, but still.

    As for the Super Bowl, I only saw bits and pieces. I'm more upset about missing the commercials than the actual game (even though I like football), but nesting kicked in big time this weekend and I went grocery shopping at a few stores for the deals, did 4 loads of laundry, cleaned the bathroom and kitchen, and then worked some overtime.

    I saw the avocado draft one if that's what you're talking about @aggiebug‌ and it was pretty good. I'm more irritated with the Nationwide one with the little boy who said he'd never get to grow up, get cooties, or travel the world because he died in an accident. I can't imagine trying to explain that to a kid if watching the Super Bowl with one, or the triggers for parents who have lost a child. Sure, it made an impact, but I wish they would have taken a different angle.
  • Also, @aggiebug‌ - Sorry about your MIL. I'm a pretty private person as well, especially about health matters, but Im sure my mom and others will be all up in my business after LO comes. I've warned DH to remind me to be nice.
  • We watch the game and the commercials. It gets difficult as there is no time to fast forward, and you have to pause to go get something to eat/drink/pee/etc. 

    The Fiat commercial was pretty funny. I also really liked the Doritos plane and the Snicker's Marcia Brady commercial. And the Nationwide commercial was pretty awful for all the reasons listed above.

    @aggiebug - sorry about your MIL. I'm sure it is tough having people invading your space.

  • We watched most of the game with my IL's and then the rest at home. I love the commercials. I guess my favs would be the fiat commercial and the snickers Brady bunch commercial. The nationwide commercial was just awful.

  • I local nestie was talking about the doritos commercial. I guess she knows the guy who made the ad and won the contest. I thought the ad was pretty awesome.

    And yeah the nationwide commercial was a little inappropriate IMO. The site actually has some phenomenal information, I just wish is was more sensitive to those who have suffered a loss.

    And thanks. I can't imagine what this week would be like if I didn't like MIL. I just don't feel ready to share my home with anyone. I also not one to ask for help so letting her do stuff while I sit on the couch is really tough. I appreciate it, it's just a lot.

  • @Sewilson33‌ - what state are you in? We were supposed to get ice and 8" and barely got 2" and then the rain melted most of it. Obviously you guys got the actual storm. Haha.
