Momma -- I can NOT wait to get home & look at your picture!! (photo is blocked at work)
Cris, if you're uploading your photos to photobucket or flickr or something, use the code with the[img ]without that space between the g and ] ). I can't wait to see your little man! He's so freaking cute! Sorry about the baby fever. I have a mega-bad case of it right now. Good thing I'm already pregnant. :laugh:[/img]

Okay so I need some help. I just realized I have about 10 people to cook dinner for on Friday night. Anybody have any suggestions of something that might be easy and fairly cheap to cook?0

Ugh, I'm so sleepy today.
I didn't have time to pack my lunch this morning so I went down to the canteen at lunch. I knew a cheeseburger was going to happen and I figured fries were going to happen with it since salty fried potatoey things are all I can think about lately. :laugh: But I won! I saw a container of strawberries & honey dew & I went for it instead. Best part is, I didn't really miss the fries.
This job situation is really a win-win. I don't even care if I'm selected. I'd LOVE all that extra money, but I will not love the incredible amount of stress the job offer will bring me now & a new job would bring me over the next several months.
I'd say I'm about 60/40 on how I feel about the new job with 60% of me not even wanting it. That part of me just wants to sit here in my little safe work bubble where it's not very stressful at all (because we're on a hiring freeze again so my workload is about 70% of what it usually is) and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy with all the freebies from my supervisor and then take my full 12 weeks of maternity leave, even being off during the busiest part of the year. AND THEN I can worry about a job that pays more. Or going back to school while I work this low-stress job & then finding a job that pays more. The other 40% of me feels like it's a really great opportunity that will look great on my resume (and my applicaiton to grad school) that also comes with an awesome amount of money.0 -

Are you trying to get fancy with it? :laugh:
Because if not, the slowcooker is your best friend.0 -

No nothing fancy! The less effort the better. I'm just going to have a bunch of people at my house on Friday before I leave so I gotta make dinner. Good ole mom wont be home. Long as it's edible I don't care. I was going to make chili or red beans and rice but my sister didn't think that was a good idea.0 -

I was totally thinking chili! Why is that not a good idea? So easy and so yummy.
Maybe a beef roast & veggies served with some yummy crusty bread?
Or you could always just go with spaghetti since it's super easy, super cheap, and pretty hard to screw up.0 -
For something delicious, I go with crockpot ribs. Pork is cheapest. Just throw them in the crockpot with about 1 cup BBQ sauce and a tbs of honey.0

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking today, but haven't had much motivation to post anything. It's been a little stressful around here the last few weeks. I think I might be starting to lose it. My brain is going haywire with jumping to ridiculous conclusions about everything. Exhausting...
Julie - SO excited about your baby girl!!! I think the name Mazie is absolutely darling
Jess - I'd go with chili, spaghetti, or even pizza? All easy things to do. Good luck! I miss cooking dinner for lots of people. When I first graduated college and lived by myself, I used to have "family" dinners and invite friends over and feed them. Loved it!
Lauren - Unfortunately... it is only Tuesday. Ick...
Can I just tell you how much I do NOT want to go to class tonight? That's sad.0 -
Jess, I think lasagna is also super easy if you are semi-homemade with it!
Get the no-cook noodles and follow the directions here. You'll want a pre-made sauce (get the ones in the can over the jar and you'll save money!), ground turkey (for healthy) or a meatloaf mix (veal, pork, beef), ricotta, an egg or two for binding, mozzerella, and parmesan cheese. One 9x13 should do it for 10, plus a salad and maybe some bread.0 -
FUTURE STEELERS PLAYER:

LOVE HIM!!! 0 -
I DID IT!! WOO LOVE MY BABY BOY!0

I'm am LOVING the ideas!! Thank y'all so much! I will put those out there as suggestions and see what everybody thinks..
Julie-I guess beans affects one of my fellow Mexico bound people quite harshly. Last thing I want is to sit next to someone on the plane with the toots...sorry...TMI...Shoulda put that before hand I guess.
tstout-I'm with you! I LOVED having people come over to my apartment and cook for them when I didn't live with my parents. Even now I love to cook them new things and have them try it. I was watching the food network on my lunc and it kinda made me want to become a chef. Crazyness I tell ya.0 -
Ah yes, the toots. :laugh:
That makes plenty of sense! I didn't realize that Friday is the 28th already! And Friday being the 28th means YOU'RE GOING TO MEXICO THIS WEEKEND! (if you mentioned it I totally missed it, sorry!)! :drinker:0 -

Oh I'm sure it's been in a few of my posts..I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself. So yes something to make with the least effort on Friday night would be great! A house full of people the night before I leave! Love it!0 -
Oh, I just remembered that the ultrasound tech told us baby weighed 4 ounces yesterday. All I could think about is how small a 4oz portion of raw chicken is. Then I tried to imagine a little human shaped 4oz portion of raw chicken. :laugh: So very tiny!
Anyway, now at least I totally get to blame 1/4 pound of my 12 pound weight gain on the little one.0 -
Juliie, don't forget the amnio fluid and extra blood also weigh something. Then there is the placenta. I think I got 4 of your 12 pounds covered.:laugh:
Cris, he is darling!!!!!!!0 -
like Momma said the weight of the fluids and placenta etc weigh way more than the baby!
OMG I just got a flashback to the placenta sitting on the table so gross! looks like liver!0 -
Cris, he is darling!!!!!!!
Thanks Momma! 0 -
Cris, when I gave birth to the second baby she was very big and I pushed really hard to have her. So the dumb doctor tells me "Okay push we are going to deliver the placenta now" I pushed like a pushed with the 9.4 pound baby and the placenta flew out and hit him in the chest and splatted blood all over his shirt and glasses. I know gross but I laughed so hard. My husband about fell out of his chair. Needless to say doctor did not find it as funny as we did,0
-
EWWWWWW, Momma! :laugh:
I also can't forget each boob weighs about 4 pounds more than they used to. :noway: Hey, maybe all 12 pounds are covered afterall.

I'm never having kids! :sick:0

Talking of placentas when i had abby, remember she was 10lbs 6 oz...2 weeks early estimated to be 13 lbs ...had c-section, so the doctor got her out and then the placenta she said "wow you had a really healthy placenta" , her cord was soo thick..apparently that is why she was soo big my placenta was nurishing her very good 0

EWWWWWW, Momma! :laugh:

Honestly Julie that was so dumb of the doctor. Usually the doctor just kinda presses gently on your tummy and the placenta comes out with great ease. It does not hurt or anything. He is the only doctor out of 4 different ones who actually was dumb enough to tell me to push it out.0 -

And I think he learned his lesson! :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Jess: I'm a bit jealous you get to go on vacation this weekend! I can't wait to hear all about it. Have a margarita on the beach for me!
Momma: Thanks for sharing...I love funny stories.
Julie: It sounds to me like all 12 lbs are covered! Awesome!
Cris: Your son is so adorable! You'll have to beat the girls off with a stick, especially when he's a rich Steelers player!!
About 30 minutes until my WW weigh-in and I'm actually nervous about this one. I'm SO bummed the eating got out of control on Sunday. I was looking forward to another loss. At this point, I'll be happy if I maintained last week's weight. Sad. I might go to Boot Camp or Zumba tonight, though, to change things up. Hmm...decisions, decisions.0 -

:laugh: I agree with Lauren, sounds like he deserved it! But my mind came up with a terrible mental image when reading your story, especially after Cris mentioned seeing it lying on the table looking like liver! :sick: :laugh:0 -
Heather-I most definitely will!! I'm bringing my Bubba Keg with me...less trips to the bar for me that way!! haha...good luck tonight at your meeting. Just make this next week that much better! Don't let a bad day or a bad week discourage you. And there will definitely be tons of pictures and stories after the trip I'm sure. I'm going to miss not posting and everything while I'm gone...I think wifi is available to purchase there but I don't know if I'm going to go that far or not. We will see what kinda withdraws I go through. It's going to be hard enough giving up my phone.0

Lots of baby (and placenta) talk today! I loved having a girl first and then a boy second, I don't know why - it just seemed to work well that way. Boys are more foreign to me I guess! (although having a 16-yr old girl right now isn't exactly all joy and flowers ... mostly snarls and grunts - I try to keep reminding myself of how bad I was at that age (I was worse) ... but it doesn't make it easier to put up with her teenage angst!). That's when I love my cuddly little boy! Who I also dressed in a Vikings outfit the day he was born - I'll have to try and post it. I think I dressed my daughter in sports clothes pretty quickly too though - I was never a girly-girl and neither is she. But she had her share of pinks and fluffs too as a baby!
Anyhow, enough fun talk ... now to the bad stuff. I am almost out of calories and I thought I was having a good day! Aargh! I have my nutrition meeting tonight, hopefully it will re-motivate me.0 -
I love California and I usually love the weather here. But I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE the fog. All week it has been foggy but it burns off by 10 am then gets sunny and into the 60's. Not today here it is 3pm and still foggy and only in the high 50's. My feet will not get warm and I HATE it. Did I mention how much I HATE the fog? I am so glad we are going south into the sun.0
-
I just went outside and the fog finally burned off great just an hour before the sun sets0
