Oh and I've decided his new nickname is Captain Tightpants since he was a captain in the fire department in Houston.
I'm also a HUGE Firefly fan so yeah...
If he didn't like sergeant sexy pants I doubt he is going to like captain tight pants. Just sayin'0 -

Well, that's not the way I'd handle it because I'd worry about my hair getting messed up. I have curly hair, but I'd totally use my Tide pen! Weird story: I'm trying to get all my stuff together to go on my Girl's Weekend and kids are gong to my mom's Wednesday through Saturday, so there's lots of packing to do. The hubby always makes fun of my list making and packing OCD, although is glad that I am that way when we get where we're going. He tells me that the ultimate marriage test should be this: Tell a couple they have to go to a predetermined location for a week and see how they handle the packing and preparation. He jokingly said he'd never have married me if he'd known ahead of time. To clarify we went on several vacations and had a four year old when we got married so he already knew what he was dealing with when he married me!
I realized reading backwards I never saw your original post to reply to I just want to say have a great weekend with the girls....those are the BEST weekends and best wishes for your dad. I am hoping all will be ok. It's so hard to be away from your parents when they are older. That is one of the reasons I won't even consider a job outside of this area. My mom is doing great but I am the only child in driving distance so what to be close just in case. But my life is flexible...single/no kids. So it's easier for me all around.

I'm somehow 4 days behind on this thread!
Confession: Every so often I like to do a sweetcorn test. It's a way of seeing how long food takes to pass through your gut. I'll spare you the details.
It used to take 24-48 hours. I was efficient. This last one took 6 days! No wonder I feel sluggish!0 -

I have been having a similar issue this past week...without a test. I am sure this is partly why my weight is up and why my tummy has been off. And I am not pregnant! I might have to try those Haribo candies or whatever everyone talks about!

My husband was telling me that he LOVED this game! I've never played it, but now I'm curious. I was lamenting selling my old school Nintendo years ago and wishing I had it to play some Zelda or Super Mario on again. I worked hard at my grandma's farm to earn the money to buy the NES for myself when I was about 10 years old. It was the first thing I ever really WORKED for and it taught me a lot about the value of money/time/effort. I'll be 39 next month and have to adult most days.... but MAN, I'd love to just spend a day playing the old games I loved!
My husband plays all those old-school games without a NES or SNES. He does it via a standard PC plugged into a TV, with one of the old controllers plugged in. You can get all kinds of retro games downloaded, exactly as they were. He is currently swearing his way through original Mario. No idea how one goes about setting this up, but is a possibility!0 -

Oh well. He likes it when I call him Sunshine.

Good plan but I'm not sure those Haribos are pregnancy-sanctioned. I think I'll just accept my fate for a while. At least I can pretend my bloat is actually baby (it really isn't, after this weekend it's mostly barbecue meat and ice-cream!).0 -
AVOID THE HARIBOS! :laugh:
Those things are HORRIBLE. Ugh!
ETA: If I had more practice with my creative writing skills, I would have written my own hilarious Amazon review of those demon bears!0 -
@spamarie, how did it go telling your mom about the baby? Was that this past weekend? Sorry if I'm confusing posts...but I thought I remembered you saying you were going to tell her...
@spacequiztime, how have your allergies been? Did you get in to see the specialist yet?
@orangesmartie, thinking of you.
@Susieq_1994, all the talk about your peanut butter pie isn't helping my cravings.... but I am excited to see the pictures of this masterpiece!

I have been sleeping terribly for the past two nights. Getting out of bed thinking that I have to do something or save someone (the yoga woman from Orange is the New Black for some reason), sitting up straight staring at the wall while still half dreaming, moving around and waking up every thirty minutes. I feel so tired. To top it off, my feet and legs are acting up (I have restless leg syndrome like almost every woman on my mom's side...). It's not too bad right now, but it's enough to make it difficult for me to fall back asleep. Hoping I can get a nap in today.0

How long is it supposed to take? Just that I've noticed corn kernels exiting about 12 - 14 hours later...0 -

It's my mother's birthday in August but she will be away the entire month visiting her sisters in France. So I said, here's an early birthday present for you, open it now. It was a teeny tiny pair of baby socks with frogs on them (my mum collects frogs - it's a longstanding joke about her being French). She looked confused, then the penny eventually dropped. I said, they're a bit small for you, but they'll fit someone you know soon. She was thrilled.
My dad's first reaction was 'OH NO!' but not because he was in any way upset over becoming a grandad (he's also thrilled). It was because he realised now he has to put up with my mum's baby-obsessed craziness for the next few months and I bet it'll get WORSE once the kid is born. Poor Papa, I do feel sorry for him!
Then we went out and I had a cheeseburger, fries and ice-cream, because you only reveal to your parents they're becoming grandparents for the first time ONCE.
Good weekend!0 -

May I join you in the freaky dreamers' club?
Last night I dreamt that people kept falling off the edges of things and just landing head first below. I kept warning them this was likely to happen if they went up there, but they ignored me. Horrific! It does show I'm a know-all, even in my dreams.0 -
Oh yes those are on the list! I also got bananas and dark chocolate chips so I can make banana canoes!kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »
Sounds like you had a fun weekend.
Of course when you go camping you at least have to make some S'mores.
Yesterday's shopping was super productive and I found out who will be on our camp site (two bro's who I absolutely adore, huge into fitness and giant nerds), I'm sooo stoked!
Tonight I'm seeing a friend for dinner and then hitting a concert (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, it's my second time seeing them. WEEEEEE)
...... I need a dance Icon dammit!

My 9-almost 10 year old daughter is near the same way. Hates showers, tries to shirk brushing her teeth, wipes her mouth on her hand or wipes her fingers on her pants. Like literally, 2 days ago I made her a bean & cheese burrito, well afterwards I am looking at her and see all of this crud on her pants and I am like WTF is that??? Apparently that was from the filling would come out a bit and get on her fingers so instead of grabbing one of the many napkins right in front of her face, she elected to wipe them on her black pants. And her tablet is always grimy with gunk all over the screen (meaning everything else she touches also has the grime!) Uuugh!
Not to crush your dreams she'll grow out of this, Rachael is 13 and is STILL the same way. Her tablet and phone are GROSS!

Fried pickles and ranch...yum...
I love anything fried with ranch. I had a sad realization while in Siesta Key. Most of the restaurants DON'T SERVE RANCH, only that blue cheese nastiness. I was VERY disappointed.

That's a good reveal. Congrats to you on the baby0 -

Not sure if you have a CVS store near you...but they have these pills called "Leg Cramps" in their store brand as well as the name brand..which I'm drawing a blank on. Anyhow, they are AWESOME for leg cramps and restless legs! I used to have really bad cramping and restlessness and I started taking 2 pills before bed...and never had a problem! Just a thought...because I know how irritating restless legs are!0 -

Yay for being caught up! In triathlon people go to the bathroom in their wetsuit and on the bike. While under extreme duress I can go in my wetsuit now (but not while swimming) I refuse to go on the bike (I think that is beyond disgusting and since I am not fast I see no reason not to stop at a portapotty on course). They even go while running...no way could I do that.
Oh wait... I think there were posts way, way back on this but: my bladder will not allow me to pee in water, but it will occasionally decide to 'let go' a bit while running
I don't think I could pee while on a bike. Would people around you get hit with it? 0 -

I had a horrible dream last night too!! I dreamnt that my gums were coming loose from my teeth and peeling and I could pull on some gums and they'd break away from my teeth and leave these huge gaping holes. I have no idea why and it was awful!0 -

*shudder* I've had dreams similar to that and they're just awful. You should look up the meaning. I believe that (some) dreams have meanings - I can't remember exactly what teeth dreams mean, but I do remember it fit for what was going on in my life at the time.0 -

Oh yeah. I have this problem too. Plyometrics is tough not because of the workout,but because I can't jump around for long without leaking... Ugh.0
What was the prescription for? The anxiety?
