confession session
Even though it's a corny kid movie and will probably disappoint me, I want to see Ramona and Beezus (though come on, it's Beezus and Ramona). I LOVED Beverly Cleary as a kid. We would get the Ramona books on tape and listen to them on road trips and cry our eyes out laughing. Even my dad liked them.
Ready to rumble.

I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Although now I realize what he meant, I initially thought he was saying he had a rash.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
i want to know where Angiepoo's siggy went.
i loved Ramona books, too, although i blame her to this day for my french fry addiction. They were at a diner and she wrote a description about delicious crispy outsides and soft mealy insides that has never left my head.
For the past few weeks, I've been having sex dreams nearly every night. I know it's the pregnancy hormones. Whatever, it's fine, even if the person in the dream is not someone I'm usually drawn to while awake.
2 nights ago, it was Dana Carvey. NO. NONONONONONO. My mind has turned against me.
Was he choppin' broccoli?

I wasn't into the Ramona books as a kid. Don't know why.
Miles seems like he's a minute away from crawling - he gets himself into the crawl position and then just rocks back and forth, whimpering to himself. His frustration is kind of funny and sad at the same time.
I am kind of in love with a house and am trying to stay rational about it. I'm sort of surprised with my reaction because we've seen nice houses before and I've always been pretty level-headed about this stuff, a la, "I could fall in love with this house for the right price". This one, I just love.
He was a waiter at a restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom and was using an alias, but I recognized him. I think my recognition of his fame is what drew him to me.
I'm squirming in my chair just typing this.
DUDE. I think of this exact same description every time I have fries.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
HT just got wet. Zing!
November, with a friend like Deewee you didn't need Ramona.
My best friend had a sex dream about Snoop Dogg where the two of them were taking a bubble bath with John Leguizamo. Or something like that. Dana Carvey still beats them out though.
I only am having dirty dreams about H. I feel like I've been robbed.For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
SCHWING!
"As of page 2 this might be the most boring argument ever. It's making me long for Rape Day." - Mouse
Hezz dreamed of Danny Devito and Expee dreamed of Danny Bonaduce, so I think Dana Carvey isn't bad at all.
I see all these comments about Angie's siggy, but I see nothing and I am sad I missed it. SHOW ME THE POOS.

I didn't have a single sex dream while pregnant. I feel like I got robbed.
My kitchen is currently taunting me with the smell of the espresso pot roast in the crock pot.
I just brewed myself a cup of cranberry orange tea, and I'm having a severe craving for a cinnamon roll or something to go with it. It is only the sleeping baby keeping me from hopping in the car to go to the bakery up the street.
Edit: These are more random than confessions
This sort of situation would make me seriously consider calling the baker to see if they, perchance, deliver.
I do? But this doesn't satisfy my needs right now at this very moment. *whine*
Also, the ads for the Ramona and Beezus movie pique my interest a bit, but I don't like obnoxious Disney girls so the girl who plays Beezus bugs me. I read the books as a kid but don't remember much of anything about them, so I'd rather just re-read the books.

Not really a confession, but I don't want to start a whole new post to be a negative AW. And I try really hard to stay optimistic with this whole adoption thing, but I'm not having the easiest time right now.
We got an invitation from our adoption agency to attend a 'waiting parents meeting.' I know it will probably be good for us and we're going, but it just makes me feel worse about the whole thing. I know it's entirely irrational but I almost feel like this is our social worker saying 'it's not happening any time soon, so here's a support group to help you cope with that reality.' And I know that I'm totally making that up and stuff, but I have been fairly happy ignoring the whole thing for the most part and figuring I could just go on avoiding and making jokes about the whole thing until we finally get placed, and then I won't have to deal with any messy emotions and stuff.
I know, super healthy. But stupid social workers are going to try to make me deal with my feelings. Buttface.
3 out of 4 dead babies agree! pepsi is better than coke! - EdithBouvierBeale
Lordy. Grow some balls and stop lurking. It's like stealing from the internet. Jesuschrist. -- AudreyHorne
I hate love and marriage. I got married so I could destroy these things from the inside. - NoisyPenguin
It's a good thing my circle of trust is as giant as my vagina. That only leaves a couple people out. - Cali
i don't like to feel feelings, either, so I am in your dark humor to cope coffin. I would likely be doing the same thing and I wouldn't want to attend any stupid meeting because I am FINE and I don't NEED YOU PEOPLE to make me FEEL BAD.

Groomz - your emotions are entirely justified. Just look at Noisy. (sorry if that is too jokey/out of place).
I would think the meeting would be a good thing. It keeps you in touch with the agency and other hopeful parents. Without something like this, I would think that it would be pretty easy to feel as if you have been forgotten.

I am often this way, too. I resist dealing with the feelings as much as possible, but once I do, I usually feel better afterward. Hopefully the agency knows how to set the right tone at the meeting.
