Re: UO/Vent/Confession Thursday!
Vent: My cramps and headaches have been so bad from AF this week, it sucks!
UO: These nail color blogs I see all over The Nest nowadays are retarded.
People change their nail color daily? And blog about it?
Well, clearly the daily nail polish remover fumes have affected their brain and made them BSC.
Vent: I'm ready to be off today. I know I need the money since I'm only working three days this week, but Im tired and I want to go shopping.
Confessions: I've been shopping entirely too much lately. I justify it by paying off all my bills first, but I really could be saving more. Also, regarding my blog. I don't really want to update it anymore. I just feel like things are too much to blog about now and all I really want to blog about are my new clothes and nail polish (lol) and that makes me look vapid and shallow. I sometimes am vapid and shallow, but I don't want people thinking that. I feel like I should just shut up shop so to speak, but I don't want to be an AW (even though that's basically what a blog is) and do a good bye post.
UO: Last week was my best UO, I'm not good at these.
Vent: I have so much painting to do and I don't wanna!!! Seriously though, I'm so over painting and I'm not even close to being done. Hopefully I'll knock out most of it by Monday.
Confession: I suck at nail polish. I can't paint my own nails, or my own toenails. I always get pedicures or would get my sister to do it. Now that we don't live in the same house anymore, my toes are looking rough.
UO: I hate smores.
confession - I am full term today, yay! However, as I get closer to labor and delivery, I'm terrified of the actual process and recovery, and it makes me hope she stays put for a couple weeks...
vent - Juror #3 coming forward saying they were all sick and crying over deciding CA is not guilty makes me think that there was NOT enough reasonable doubt to declare her not guilty. After hearing all the facts, the 'reasonability' is a gut reaction, clearly you all think she's guilty.
uo - I freaking love Big Brother, and I'm so happy it starts tonight! Yes, it's a simpleton show, but I don't care! Also, I hate kid, teen, college, etc. Jeopardy. I'm boycotting this week because the stupid kids are annoying.
Her interview annoyed me too. I think she was saying that they were all sick over having to decide that either way and although some argued that in their guts they felt she was guilty of something...they all still had too many questions in their mind. Whatever. I'm not going to speculate what was going on in their minds. What did really annoy me is that this is the 3rd juror/alternate I believe that has said once the case ended and the judge explained what each charge meant and what reasonable doubt meant, they all agreed that what they had was reasonable doubt. Is that where the case was lost? Were they confused by it? Are we all unclear about what it means? I found it interesting that they all said that & that none of the alternates have come forward and said that they think the jury got it wrong.
I also find it a bit shocking that there were people who went straight into it and said, "No. She absolutely didn't do what they were accusing her of." You'd think they all would have been on the fence at least a little bit.
Haha! I thought the same thing. DH and I have been feeling pretty smart this week!
Vent: I am hating my job right now and feel they are screwing me out of part of my maternity leave. I go back to work on Monday (I do get to work from home for a month) and I feel that I didn't get my full 6 weeks through STD. I had to use 7 personal days before STD payment kicked in and now my HR dept is saying that those 7 days are included in the 6 weeks and me and the lady at my office were under the impression they were excluded.
Confession: Before I had Wyatt I ALWAYS said I would be one of the moms that would go back to work and now I have been crying over the fact that in a month I will have to leave him and someone else will care for him. I totally wish I could just quit my job and stay at home, but that is not even possible since I carry the health insurance and DH just started a new business so if I don't work we have no income coming in.
UO: Like Ashlee, I love Big Brother and cannot wait for it to start tonight! I wait all summer for this show!
Vent: It's Thursday, so where's the freakin chicken wing bar? Why is there a baked potato bar there instead? I dutifully pack my lunch every other day of the week and all I ask is for wings on Thursday. Is that so hard?
Confession: I had a headache this morning so I sat on the couch and watched an episode of SVU before coming into work. on one of the most busy days of the year.
UO: I am a low-carb convert (which by default means high protein, high fat). I have been eating this way for several months now and I think it is the healthiest thing I have ever done. I feel so much better and I don't feel hungry all the time like I used to. The more research I do, the more I'm convinced that this is the way to go. I don't think fat is the problem in American diets today, I think it's too much sugar and starch. It's unfortunate, but when I tell people that they say "are you doing atkins" and act like low carb is a dirty word. I guess the picture is of people pigging out on cheeseburger patties all day. Well for lunch, I had several slices of ham, a slice of cheese, strawberries, and a salad with ranch dressing. Looks pretty good to me!
My Ovulation Chart
How can you not like Smores??
Your work as a wing bar? I am jealous and would be super pissed if they changed wing day and didn't give some advance notice...not cool!
vent - I'm so sick of people telling me when I should have this baby. She will come when she's ready, and your random opinion on which day would be a good birthday really means nothing to me, so just hush.
confession - I kind of hope she comes before her due date. I am done. Exhausted, cranky, uncomfortable. Just done!
First of all in response to PPs,
-I LOVE Big Brother! Ashlee, we will have to discuss on Saturday who they end up bringing back.
-I also enjoy kids Jeopardy cuz it makes me feel smart, but damn it those kids are too slow. They left 5 clues on the board yesterday. Speed it up, children. Also, did anyone else LOL when the girl said Al Gore was George W Bush's Vice President?
My vent/confession:
I am annoyed at my mom. She is so blunt and honest with me and will straight out say " I don't like this" but when I tell her I don't like something she's doing, she gets offended and says "Well I'll try not to do that" Ex: She calls my sister's kid Grandson instead of his name and she's started to do that with this baby too. Um, hello, they both have names. How would I have felt if she just called me "Daughter" my whole life. She also doesn't think before she opens her mouth. I love my mom, I really really do, but some of the things she does justs irks me. She raised me to be indepenent and think for myself but hates it when thinking for myself means I'm coming to a different conclusion than she is.
You'll do great!!
Vent: I changed positions at my current job. It is making more money, but without the benefits. I haven't actually started because I am waiting for someone to train me. In the meantime, I am doing my previous job with the new pay. I am so sick and tired of other coworkers questioning about the position or sharing their opinion.
UO or confession: Could be both, I guess. If Trevor wakes up in the middle of night/morning, we just put him in the bed with us so that everyone can get a good nights rest.
You are almost there Mama!!! I hated when people told me I should just have her at the end when I hit 40 weeks. My practice consists of midwives and 2 OBs. You are assigned an OB to oversee your pregnancy even though I saw the MWs and planned to have them deliver me. It really pissed me off when I HAD to see the OB once I hit 40 weeks and he walked into the exam room and the first thing out of his mouth was "So, do you want to induce?" DH and I both looked at him and said no way! Maybe it bothered me more since I was huge and really uncomfortable but I agree with you, they come when they want to! I went 11 day past my due date and people still think I am crazy for waiting that long.
MIL is not allowed to be alone with B, I guess I'm a bad mom too
I hate that. My aunts were bugging me about inducing on my due date because they're going out of town the next week and they want to come visit.. ummm no, not happening.
B was 6 days after his due date, my doula told me that in her experience, most 2nd babies come within a day or two of your due date if you were about a week overdue with your first.. so hopefully in the next week and a half or so I'm snuggling my baby girl
UO: I'm tired of Taylor Swift. I'm sorry no one wants to date you. Stop whining about it.
Confession: We have to start moving into our new apartment next week. I've packed 3 boxes. DH and my BIL are going to move our big stuff on the 20th and i'm hoping that they're just take the day to move everything so I don't have to do much. I'm lazy.
