Re: FFFC- whos in?!?
This guy at work that I loathe was talking about how you can buy land on Mars to potentially live there in the future.
I was feeling spunky so I suggested that we get a "Send Oly To Mars" fundraiser started so he could check it out & report back. But we can only afford a one way ticket on the shuttle, so if he wants to get back he's on his own.
Everyone found it hilarious except him and I really don't care.
Michelle = that is hilarious.
I havent felt much like working this week- pinning and shopping are much better but now the bank account is suffering.
My FFFC- I am getting really tired of paying for all the baby stuff on my own. I know its "our" money, however I feel like every diaper, wipe, formula, clothing, babysitter is coming out of my account and I hate taking money from our joint account to live on. I know my shopping has been a little out of control, but seriously she needs a coat and shoes. (atleast I got them on sale)
I am usually so tired from Mark traveling that I dont even want to think about sex. Last week I really just wanted to tell him to leave me alone. I feel terrible because its not that I dont want to- just too tired.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Join the club.
We haven't had sex since Jamie felt the baby kick from the outside in the middle of sex. He said it was "weird".
I wonder if they have a support group for me who are "weirded out" by pregnancy sex....
It wouldn't be so bad if we had any sort of intimacy otherwise (we don't even cuddle on the couch to watch TV, or kiss more than a quick peck) but i'm starting to feel like we're roommates. Shiiiiity.
Wait until they tell you its "weird" to want to have sex with you after your have the baby. Ya, thats a pretty awesome feeling. Sometimes I feel like my H is one of the only guys who planned on having a baby and then lost respect for his wife afterwards instead of gaining respect for her.
The thing is - we do have a joint account... I just havent been good about using it yet. Shame on me. I need to show him how much this shi*t costs.
... and a waste of money.

This.
I also confess that when people show me their ultrasounds, I never know how to respond. I usually have no f-ing clue what I'm even looking at.

I made these cookies the other day and have eaten an embarrassingly large amount of them. Like double digits.... they may not be fancy-pants or anything, but holy fvck are they chewy, enormous, and delicious. I can't stop.
I now have blocked more people on my friends list than I have unblocked. One may ask why I continue to keep them as "friends" - my response is that b/c I have too many mutual friends and I don't want to deal w/ the bother of them re-asking. Common reasons for blockage - oversharing (particularly relating to bodily fluids and DEF when involving the bodily fluids of children), annoying games/apps, non-stop posts/links of stupid shiit I don't care about, excessive usage of those "chain" statuses, and constant dumbfvckery.
The boss is away today, so my coworker and I had mismosas this morning. And will be going to the bar next door for drinks soon. Shh!
I'm whiny because I didn't win the Salesperson of the Month award this month and I thought I was going to. Whine whine whine.
SIL is coming in tonight to go shopping and wants us to go with her. Guy told her we would. I really just want to blow her off, go home, order a pizza, and watch Fringe.
I'm resentful that we have to drive two hours just to get someone to watch our child because none of our family/friends here are willing to. Who wouldn't want to spend time with the Elster?
My CW is out for 6 more weeks after another surgery and I kinda hope she never comes back.
Ditto. I also think that most newborns look like aliens. They are discolored, slimey and have mis-shaped heads (from the birthing process). A day or 1 after they are born, they start to look better, but all the "just out of the womb" pictures I see really gross/freak me out.

I agree about the 3D ultrasounds. I don't think I want to have one if I ever get there.
I also confess that the new FB chain status about "I'm 6 weeks and craving skittles" pisses me the hell off, and I applaud Meagan for her post on it earlier. I'm really tempted to "come out" on FB about my losses and rant about how hurtful that type of stuff is.
I also confess that while it's been nice seeing my dad this week, I'm ready for my judgmental and picky stepmom to get out of my house.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
haha, I got your back girl!
I confess that I have no idea how I lost 2 lbs this week. I ate Velveeta shells and cheese this weekend, Jimmy Johns for lunch one day, a huge peach muffins and a chai for breakfast one morning, and at least double a normal portion of Pad Thai for dinner earlier this week. My period was absolutely ferocious. And I still somehow lost weight. No clue how.
1. You WILL get to a point where you can see a 3D ultrasound. I know it.
2. I actually lost a "friend" over my status, and got in a "fight" with someone on my month board about those posts.
3. I am sorry you have to see crap like that. It's amazing what adults consider "fun" on Facebook.
