    I'm a 35 year old woman, and I LOVE The Vampire Diaries. There. I said it.

    It's my guilty pleasure too and I'm 37! Loved the books and enjoy watching it with my 14 yo daughter. I have a very soft spot for Ian Somerhalder...
    Also Johnny Depp is my favourite actor ever! He could act out the ohine book this guy and he can be so versatile - with Finding Neverland and Dead Man on one side and Pirates of the Carribean and Mr Wonka on the other.

    double post. Morning everyone! My SO woke me up at 7am on a Saturday to go to work and I was really looking forward to sleeping in, but I'm awake now so I thought I would catch up with this.

    Just realised, everyone goes to bed when I wake up. That's upsetting. :disappointed:

    I'm in UK as well and have the same problem often :neutral:

    Also, I hoard food. I can't have just one pack, box, tea, etc of something I like, I have to have 10 stored away in case I never see it again in stores. But I went through liking something a lot many times and having it discontinued, so that may be why I do that. I've been scarred by the food people.

    I totally do this too. all of my cupboards and freezer are packed to the max. mine is more of, "this is on sale, plus i have coupons, so it's only 75 cents! i must buy 10!!!"

    I also do this for both those reasons each of you posted.....I have a walk in pantry with several shelving units that my friends call "The Store"

    I have been told in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse they are coming to my house as we can all be well fed and clean for about a year......

    totally! my one close friend said that she's hiking to my house because not only does she know that she'll be well fed, but also always have clean teeth and deodorant!! lol

    This is so me! My husband calls me a food hoarder, but I'm also a hygiene-item-hoarder. Just as an example, I currently have:
    • About 5 kilos (yes, KILOS) of oats
    • About 3 kilos of peanut butter
    • About 5 boxes of tea "in case we run out and the store doesn't have the one I like"
    • Around 7 large bags of bread in the fridge and freezer
    • Around 7 spare deodorants
    • Around 4 spare family-sized bars of Dettol soap
    • Around 2 (of each) extra bottles of shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, lotion...

    And there are only two of us in this house! ;)

    Editing to add... And don't even get me STARTED on canned goods and packaged soups...

    I have a minimum of 30 bottles of each, laundry soap, dish soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap and about 12 boxes of dryer sheets.

    We use three different types of deodorant and I have about 25 of each one.

    About a dozen toothpaste and brushes.

    At least a dozen boxes of tea and 10-30 of most food items we use on a regular basis.

    I actually make sure the pantry is shut when new people are in my house so they do not see it.

    You've definitely got ME beat hollow! Next time my husband teases, I'll refer him to this post. ;)

    Awww...I'm glad that you all liked my Petunia. She's a peach.

    That was when the Mists of Pandaria expansion first came out. I'm thinking it was about 2 1/2 years ago and pigs are full grown at 4 years so she's going to get a bit bigger. :)

    My mom was just writing me how she needs to lose weight and doesn't now wat to do since shes got a bad back and knees.
    I told her to use myfitnesspal and to monitor her calories and log what she eats an stick to what it tells you to loose for your height and age. I also suggested she buy a scale and to measure her food out.

    I really hope she takes my advice. shes 200 pounds has diabetes, high blood pressure, and his cholesterol, she also has sleep apnea. I also told her any kind of movement would be helpful even if it was just walking at the slowest setting on a treadmill while she watches tv.

    I'm hoping she listens. :(

    My sister in law is a total c word. She is mean and nasty and just horrible. Well anyway the other day I overheard her telling my mother in law that my weight loss won't last and the only reason I'm doing it is to compete with her. (not true)
    So i swapped the labels for her salt and sugar. And I may have accidentally switched off the freezer. No regrets at all

    That little piggy is too much for me to handle. I've been looking at minipig videos for a few months now and they are SO SO CUTE!!! I saw one little guy who was being given a bath...

    Just the cutest thing. I have a much harder time eating pork now!!!

    I got totally sucked into it 3 years ago when I got my nose surgery... binge watched it because I couldn't sleep anyway, haven't missed an episode since. I was 34.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm having an extremely hard time with losing and breastfeeding. All you hear is stories about how women lose all their weight breastfeeding.. And here I am at 8 months postpartum and exclusivly BFing and I haven't shift weight (lost) since November. I binged over the holidays, and even then I didn't gain a single pound. I guess it's a good thing but I would love to stop maintaining weight and would love to start losing! :(

    I've never been pregnant or breastfed but I *only* lose weight ever the week after my period. I skipped it a couple times and basically retained water for 2 months, then ended up losing 5 pounds in a week after I finally got it. Is your period back yet? It could be the problem.

    As promised, here are pictures of my pet pig. Hopefully these are not super huge, I consider it a success if I get them posted without screwing it all up.

    Shortly after I got her. (Notice the WoW on my laptop...I used to be a huge WoW player...part of how I got huge lol) She still smiles just like this when she's happy.

    Some mini pig, huh? lol

    Those bacon oreos look super gross. :neutral:

    Awww she's so cute. I want one, lol.

    Confession - I ate 4500 calories yesterday. I don't regret anything. The only shocking thing is that I was so stuffed last time it happened... but not this time. Just comfortably full. Although I admit I'm bloated and definitely not hungry this morning and it made for a pretty crappy workout (although I also somehow hurt my elbow and it doesn't work so well when you're trying to punch things, even pretend).

    I've never seen Princess Bride. Should check if it's on Netflix or Amazon Prime to remedy that though.

    I LOVE the smile on that little pig!

    So glad I gave up eating pork long ago, like around age 7... shortly after reading Charlotte's Web.

    I've stopped working out for the past 4 months because of college exams stressing me out and tonight i ate 5 pieces of pizza :((( uugghh i just feel really unmotivated and constantly exhausted because of work and school, any advice?

    The only advice I have is probably the last thing you want to hear: get back to working out! Honestly, it helps with the stress and actually gives you energy. My oldest son just finished his doctorate program last fall and if he didn't continue his crazy workouts during that time (grew up as a wrestler) he wouldn't have survived, from his own admission. Doesn't need to be an hour at a time, either. Just whatever you can do here and there helps.

    I drank a lot of delicious cocktails last night and I'm not sorry.

    Then I went to one of the sweatiest gigs I've been to in a long time so I reckon I sweated most of the alcohol out! :#

    I binge ate, I would have tomato ketchup sandwiches, sounds gross, but my grandfather did this in the war, and its one of the things he did when he was around me when I was a bain (child) 20 years on from his passing, I still do this once in a blue moon.

    That is a tradition!

    Not a big fan of ketchup, but when I was little I loved making pepperoni and mustard sandwiches! I think it was my dad's fault.

    Now for a rather disgusting confession. I am one of those people who likes watching pimples/cysts/blackheads being popped on youtube. It happens to me about once every six months where I go on one of these watching marathons. Apparently my mom, my sister, and my stepdad are the same way (we all confessed to this when I went to visit them over Christmas). There's something so satisfying about it.

    It's 60 degrees in NJ today and beautiful. I decided to go for a run in the park. It was nice but there were all these dads with their 3 year olds practicing baseball. So freaking cute. Sometimes when I see that I really regret I never had kids. I always wanted to and think I would have been a great mom. But who knows. My parents weren't great so maybe I wouldn't have been at all good. I do think you end up in life where you were meant to be so I guess I was never meant to have kids. But these dads did awaken the longing.

    Strangely seeing moms with their kids does not illicit the same response. :

    So.... *secretive whisper*.... do you guys think I should go for the $35 box of 12? :o

    Yikes. I scout sales on Amazon and don't pay more than $25 American per box. Is that equivalent?

    Apparently right now the Canadian dollar = .80 American. I'm an American living in Canada though, and to me $35 just translates to $35! :weary: But it is about $27 USD.

    My husband stays home with the kids during the day while I work, then when I get home he goes to work 4-midnight. He gets very little sleep and is super dad all day long. He's pretty spectacular. He does the majority of the dishes in our house, washes the laundry while I fold and put away. Takes the kids to the park, on playdates, does all the grocery shopping.
    Men like you guys are hard to find and worth the wait <3
    edited to add, he's also an amazing cook.
    I need to go buy him fancy craft beer and steak today. Let him know he's appreciated

    My husband eats ketchup on his bologna sandwiches, but not because of any sweet traditions like that. Makes me wanna gag. XD I confess that I have a terrible strange phobia of condiments...

    Bacon wrapped Oreos appeal to me in the same way chocolate covered chips do.
