Randoms/vents/confessions - put 'em here!

Off season at work is SO drastically different than anything I've ever experienced...I'm kind of freaking out about it. I mean, I have stuff to do - but I'm not running around like crazy for 12 hours a day. Instead of feeling good about it, I feel GUILTY! WTF???

I've been actually remembering to take my prenatal vitamins and my hair has never looked better! I don't think I'll ever stop taking them!!

TTC related, we're not going to officially start trying until H gets a job. And even then, we might just NNT for a few months. I feel really good about this, especially NNT-ing because I think I'll react better if it's a surprise (that may not make sense to anyone but me, but I think it's true!).

My mom tried to buy me an expensive (to me) Easter gift that I really wouldn't use, and I told her thanks but to save her money because it was too pricey and I didn't feel I would use it enough. I feel like a total brat! Am I? :( I can't stop feeling bad about it.

I have to go to Easter breakfast at H's parents' house alone on Sunday since he's working. I like his family, but it still sucks that I get to go and he doesn't. Plus they eat this...thing called Creamed Eggs (have I talked about that here yet?) and it is just as repulsive as it sounds. But H loves them! I bring him leftovers but as someone that has worked plenty of holidays (especially Easter), I know it's not the same.

  • I confess that I'm having second thoughts about waiting to find out the sex of the baby until Friday. We can know in like, 1 hour. That's just too temping right now!

    not a brat at all! Sometimes, my mom will ask me things like, "ohh what do you think about those..." about things that are popular, and I'll always tell her sternly not to get it for me.

  • I confess that my birthday is on Sunday, and I'm planning on doing the following for the next few weeks:

    getting a mani/pedi and eyebrow wax, buy some new capri pants, dye my hair, get a massage, buy some cloth diapers...

    ...and blame it all on "birthday presents for myself."

     

    I also confess that the other night, DH said, "I really can't wait to give you your birthday present." ....and I really hope it's a vacation. Seriously, I sound spoiled.

  • I got my Mirena removed Monday and am completely shocked by how ridiculous my sex drive is now! I didn't realize that bc affected it that much, but welcome back!!!

    I defend my thesis on Friday and am petrified that someone is going to point out a huge gaping hole or error

    H just got a huge bonus from work and I want to blow it all on decorating the new house

    You're definitely not a brat! You're smart enough to know that you wouldn't use something and you are saving her money - don't feel guilty.
