Re: SA Wednesday
About pregnancy and babies, YES! [I know I am a big culprit so I blame myself]
I don't mind talking about the above but I think I have been having them weekly since we moved over here.
Welcome to the South! I have lived here my whole life, and just love it. Couldn't imagine being anywhere else!
Yeah, sorry about that. I kind of feel like I started something with the baby talk and now we talk about it at least weekly.
No need to apologize Leslie. I enjoy reading and talking about it but the dreams need to stop. At least this one wasn't about me!!
And, this is the one morning that I sort of have off this week of testing and two friends and I are going to lunch. How bad is it that I'd rather watch TV from last night on my iPad than go to lunch? Terrible, because we never get to do it during the year and it's such a beautiful day.
I know many of you don't like "Glee" but last night's episode was really good.
I dont mind the baby talk at all I just have nothing to add to it most of the time. I will say this though, apparently being married means everytime you have a tummy ache you are preggers because I have been asked that numerous times at work.
Julie, I got about half way through Glee but I could hardly hold my eyes open so I will finish it tonight. Sadly One Tree Hill tops Glee so it got priority. Oh and I watched The Voice which I thought was great.
Hey Lacey - What do you think of this new image for my sig?
Haha Leslie - Love it! I think it should be your new siggy. Having a baby has crossed my mind. Not any time soon, of course. But, the thought is there.
Re: The Voice: I completely forgot about it and I really wanted to see it and had the house all to myself last night. Instead, I started The Glass Castle. My nerdy reading addiction is back!! I even brought it to work with me today - you know, just in case our computers crash or something...
Brianna - did you know they opened a Twisted Root on your side of The Shops? And if you did know - how dare you not tell me!!
There is a certain task at work that the not so nice coworker has been riding my butt about for months (so much that she has pretty much been up it). Well it is not my job and when she was officially told it was actually hers 2 weeks ago she has laid off me but yet isn't doing it herself. Funny how it was such a HUGE thing and the world was going to end if I didn't do it but there is no problem now that it's not done. Somewhat on topic everyone in the office has been invited to a party but her. Part of me thinks this is hilarious.
BIL is dating a cougar. I have no issue with age gaps as DH and I have one but it kind of makes me wonder if she has a better chance with MIL because they are closer in age (she has teens as well so she's a mom). Then I kick myself for even wondering this in the first place plus why I am even the slightest bit jealous about the chance that they could get along. Even if they did get along, it would not last long. Mother Teresa didn't stand a chance with her.
Haha! Glad you like it. Mad paint skillz.
I read the Glass Castle in less than 24 hours. While I was sitting in class I was plotting how quickly I could work out and clean in order to maximize reading time. I brought Half Broke Horses with me today, hoping I can at least read for half an hour or so while eating lunch.
LOL. I wanted to yell "Support the head!" at the TV last night for whatever I happened to be watching.
I believe it comes on again tonight on NBC.
...and Leslie wins the laughter award for today!! It's a good thing I wasn't drinking anything this time because I would have choked.
ETA: Re: One Tree Hill. I know it's just a show but I want to punch that baseball kid in the face. I feel so sorry for his Dad.
Courts and I went to the gym last night for the first time in over a month, I was pretty dang proud of us!
I saw parts of The Voice and loved it. The interaction between the coaches is great. My favorite of the ones I saw was the guy who played guitar and sang "Time after time." He's awesome.
I want some mango.
When I go to NJ for my interview next month I'm going to try to make a trip to Trader Joe's. There was one in Nashville, and they have a few things I love that only they carry.
ETA: Angie, I hope your puppy's ok, that sounds super scary!
I haven't watched in a very long time but I did catch some last night and the kid seemed like such a DB.
For OTH watchers: what is the deal with Victoria (Brooke's mom)? She used to be so crappy and such a witch back in the day and then yesterday Brooke is meeting with her to get her advice. What changed their relationship?
Angie - I'm so glad your dog is okay. I would've been so scared!
Summer - I bought the little "Mia" version of the Clarasonic and so far...I really like it! They should be so proud that their "spokesperson" is doing a great job!
I should just set it up to DVR automatically. Then I don't have to worry when it comes on. Thanks!
Also, another random tidbit. I was just sent an invitation to a baby shower through the events thing on FB. It's out of state, so I obviously will not be attending. Am I supposed to send a gift, even though I didn't even really get an invitation?
This season of OTH has been really kind of dumb. I'm trying to think when things exactly changed between them but it was a while ago when Brooke and Julian started dating I think. She even went to jail for a little bit so Brooke wouldn't have to.
EDIT: It has been dumb up until last night when they are finally getting into a good story line and not pretending to be superheroes that stop people from bullying other people.
I SO did not see that coming and my heart just sank at the end! I know its just a show but I have been watching it for so long that I swear I feel real emotions over that show. Pathetic, I know.
Yay Lacy!! I'm so glad you like it!! One of my other friends bought one yesterday and used it last night and loved the way her skin felt this morning!
RE: dreams: So when I was with my ex-FI, I used to have recurring dreams, about every 6 months, with me and current DH and he would always be the father of my children. SIgns, ya think?!?!?
Fate is a crazy thing.
OTH - I'm not 100% sure. She went to jail because she did some fraudulent BS and made Brooke lose her company. She hated her Mom after that.... I'm not sure what has changed...but I thought last night was weird too.
Lacey - I'd say only if it is someone close to you and you want to. A FB invite doesn't really make me feel like an "obligated and honored guest"...know what I mean?
In other random news, I want to go to Vegas the day after Thanksgiving. It's the cheapest time of year... even the some of the best hotels are $100 per night or less.
ETA: Bobbileigh - Me too! I swear I've literally full-on cried not last night, but the last several episodes. It's so cheesy, but so "real-ish".
It's a sign.
ETA: Dana - I can not tell if you are joking on FB or not. If not, a cycle buddy is someone you join up with to TTC together and you support each other if it does/doesn't work out. You do not need one for TB. We are just teasing Lacey about it because of the dreams.
Definitely a sign. They probably didn't even mean to invite you. It was an accident. F.A.T.E.
Ahahaha. I made that too easy.
What if one of you gets knocked up, and the other doesn't? Can you still be buddies?!?!?! *gasp*
Thanks BL and Tiffany for clarifying things for me!
I wondered about this too because COB offered her a position and I was like 'Hello, she IS COB. What is going on?"
Eww, no. Who wants a broken buddy?
