Good Morning
How's everybody? I've scrolled through some posts, but don't have a strong opinion about anything. Except that the babies continue to get cuter on here, which is marvellous.
Anyone care to post something flammable or controversial?
Re: Good Morning
I spilled milk on my leg in the car this morning, and had the bright idea to try to wash my pants in a gas station sink and dry them with the hand dryer.
Yeah.
So now I have a very wet leg, but maybe it's better than smelling like milk all day?
Edit: Obviously not controversial ,just biitching.
The nerve!

I second Buddha with the coffee before controversy. How was your vacation, Sam?

I saw a man carrying what was clearly a purse this morning. I took a picture but then felt guilty because I thought "What if he doesn't know? What if he's all proud of his briefcase/satchel/lunchbox/whatever he might think it is and I'm making fun of him and he's not even hurting anyone. Just carrying a lady's purse."
Then I realized I am PMSing.
Note: He was clearly alone and it was a shoulder bag that he was wearing cross-body.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.

Controversial: I hate buddha.
...for putting Let's Get Together in my head. IT HAS BEEN NON-STOP SINCE LAST NIGHT AND I FORGOT MY FOFFING HEADPHONES GAAAAAHHH MAKE IT STOP.

Congrats on being an Aunt! My SIL was due last tuesday, and she still has no outside baby. I can't even imagine the discomfort levels.
I'm working from home this morning, which is lovely, but my stupid wireless connection keeps dropping every five minutes which makes getting anything done challenging. So it's good that I'm using this precious connected time to post on here.

vacation was...well...i'm glad to be back at work. the memorial was heart wrenching. lila was way out of sorts due to lack of sleep, too many people etc. MIL is not coping well. When we got to halifax for the second leg of our trip (the fun part) my husband went through some sort of post-traumatic-superasshole moments that created a humongous fight that we have not yet gotten past.
When we returned, though, the landscaping was finished and I LOVE IT!
Sorry to hear about the sucky stuff on vacation but I'm glad you like your yard. Pictures?

Good Morning! On my way to work today I saw a woman entering her office. Her hair was styled and makeup was on, but she was wearing some sort of housecoat and slippers. It was really strange.
There's a guy in my office who over shapes his eyebrows. I'm all for cleaning up a unibrow, but men's eyebrows should not be shaped. It also just doesn't fit his persona. He looks like he's from Staten Island and summers at the Jersey shore.
Congrats, Bethie!
I got the H1N1 vaccine this morning. Who wants to make out?
I hate myself since it's been stuck in my head as well. It's giving me an urge to watch The Parent Trap.

I KNOW THAT LOOK!!!! freakin awful, men should only be permitted to pluck between the brows and 3-4 random stragglers. no waxing
Yay for a niece, Aunt Bethie!
The nerve!

Congratulations Aunt Bethie!
Sam - I'm sorry to hear about the vacation and the fight. Did you guys end up deciding to take the trip out to BC for the wedding?
I've been doing some googling. Apparently, I have De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Did anybody else wind up with wrist pain when they had a new baby?
I was probably predisposed since I've had tendonitis issues since high school.
congrats bethie.
sam, that sucks to fight on vacation.
i am a little sad everyone left so early Saturday. do i smell?
Yeah, I've been doing Tylenol and keeping it wrapped. I don't think there's really much else to do.
I wanted to stay longer, but I could tell Zane was ready to get home, and Ethan was going to start melting down. We just had a long weekend. If we hadn't been surrounded by family for the two days prior, we would have stayed longer.
Next time, we'll give you a whole day.
Stop picking up that baby. You're just spoiling him.
You did smell a little, to be honest.
No, I wanted to stay longer too! It turned out Brett wanted me to have a birth-week celebration and he made me dinner and rented my favorite movie.
The nerve!

Brilliant! Maybe wrist pain avoidance is the whole point of AP.
As you know, I had to go watch my husband and his sister eat obscene amounts of ice cream. I would've preferred to stay. BTW, SIL didn't eat anything else before going to the wedding we went to that night and fainted during the ceremony. I think her dreams of competitive eating championships may be over.
We haven't decided about the trip. i think we need it as a couple, he thinks we need to save it since we just spent thousands on this trip.
