Finally Friday!

@labro do you have to pay to drop stuff at the dump? I'm telling you, the South gets some things right! My parents in SC pay like $10 a year and they can bring anything they want. Up here in MA, it's the biggest ripoff ever- they charge you $30-100 PER ITEM. Like a small item (computer) would be $30 and a large item (couch/ mattress) $100! It's ridiculous and they wonder why scumbags "dump" stuff in the beautiful state forests and side of the highway. When we did our kitchen last year, I paid $500 to dispose of everything.

This state seriously charges you for any- and every-thing! You want a bonfire? That's a $10 permit from the fire department. You want to fish in the pond in your backyard? That's a $25 fishing permit.

@speakeasy14 Umm...solid foods don't really bother her that much lol. She does have a sensitive stomach towards certain things but so do I lol. It's all trial and error. If we notice she has a bad reaction to something then we lay off of it. There isn't really something we could give her to help a sensitivity per se. We give her gas drops for gas but as for food sensitivities it's all about paying attention and avoiding foods that don't sit well with her. We could always reintroduce it at a later time.

@labro due date is Wednesday so not late yet.  I think we still have another week at least.  Seriously this mechanic is the worst! My bf was trying to give him some credit since he quoted us so low, but I would rather spend twice as much and have my car back, than deal with this jackass.  

@southernpeach89 whoops reading comprehension fail haha for some reason I thought you had said since switching to solid foods her tummy has gotten really sensitive. 

labro

@jenna8984 Ummmm I am not actually sure lol! We'll have to probably pay a small fee but I don't think it will be anything ridiculous.

@beachyone15 - Same! I always find it strange when people don't like alone time away from their SO. 

@speakeasy14 - YAY! I hope Emmy makes her appearance soon!

@labro Yeah I'm not too into this house we're going to see but H wants to see it so I want to be fair. If there's something that looks great I do want to go to the open house because if we loved it and felt like it was "the one" then we'd just go ahead and put it an offer in since his credit isn't so bad that we'd be screwed or anything. The first OH we went to we naively though it was going to be the perfect house when the listing came out so we didn't want to pass it up.
I can't wait to go to actual appointments though and hopefully tour a house with just our broker! It doesn't help that I am the most impatient person in the world.

I only have a couple minutes so I'm going to be lazy and only reply to @jenna8984 who tagged me Um, that sounds like a super fun game, so we should totally do that. Who cares where our H's were!

I did Crossfit this morning and think I'm feeling a  LITTLE better, so I hope that keeps up. Tonight we are relaxing, and Saturday, too. Sunday I'm doing a 5k for a local charity. Should be a nice weekend!

What's your favorite day of the week?
Saturday

How late do you usually sleep on the weekends?
7:30a

Do you have a favorite weekend breakfast?
Ham, egg and cheese on ciabatta bread from a local cafe

If you're not going anywhere or having anyone over, do you shower?
Nope

Do you dress differently on the weekends vs at work/during the week?
Yes, I wear jeans during the week but on the weekends I wear a t-shirt or sweatshirt.

If the weekend was 3 days, would you rather have off on Friday or off on Monday?
I couldn't care less!

@speakeasy14 Lol no. She does have a lactose sensitivity but we will worry about that when she starts eating more dairy. She has actually had a good adjustment so far. There have been a couple things that caused minor issues like the peas gave her some diarrhea but her doctor thinks she just caught a bug and then we just need to be cautious with foods with high acidity because with their digestive systems...everything kind of comes straight out as it went in lol sooo...you have to think all that acid probably will cause a rash.

labro

@lavenderfields13 That makes sense. I am not trying to be such a downer on open houses...I just feel like they tend to seriously put on the pressure at them to BUY NOW! KWIM? I like seeing a house with just MY realtor there, nobody else to bother me, and think about it without being influenced by other people's thoughts and opinions.

untouchablets

Wow two pages!!

@cocobellaf glad you're GD test went well!!


Nothing going on today, I was supposed to work for my friend but after yesterday she found an excuse to tell me not to come, which is okay with me! I'm gonna go grocery shopping and hit the gym and then find some other ways to be productive because I can't just have a day of nothing, apparently lol. 

What's your favorite day of the week?
I don't have one at the moment. They are all pretty lackluster for me lol
How late do you usually sleep on the weekends?
Never past 7:30 because I always work on the weekends. 
Do you have a favorite weekend breakfast?
nope
If you're not going anywhere or having anyone over, do you shower?
If I haven't worked out that day or done anything really strenuous, no.
Do you dress differently on the weekends vs at work/during the week?
Not really, I wear jeans and sneakers and a tshirt to work, which is what I end up wearing during my downtime anyway lol unless I'm home all day in which case I'm wearing something from my extensive pajama collection lol
If the weekend was 3 days, would you rather have off on Friday or off on Monday?
Off on Monday

lavenderfields13

@labro No I totally get what you mean! It's overwhelming with tons of other people there and you can't say what you want until you get outside lol.

labro

@TwoDimes I think one of the ONLY things I miss about living in SD was Menard's! I love them so much more than Lowe's and HD!

Also you are ALWAYS welcome in the Bro Household!

speakeasy14

@TwoDimes whatever it was more interesting that we trekked through weather anyway hahaha

Swazzle

@TwoDimes - I'm only 27% done! This one is longer than the others. I need to read faster  

labro

@TwoDimes Here you go!!

lavenderfields13

@TwoDimes Congrats on paying off your car! I paid mine off last year too and I was SO EXCITED!! Oh and I think a new grill is definitely a top priority and needs to be at the top of the list

AlPacina

@swazzle – I’m so glad you got your sushi! Sushi is THE BEST!!!! I don’t think I get cravings for anything else with the same intensity.

@CocoBellaF – Oh man, have fun at the wedding! At least you know you’re getting fed!

@jenna8984 – That’s so great that you can work from home on Mondays! That’s going to be so nice! What was your argument for that?

@LizzyTish88 – I hope you’re at least able to have some fun tonight! You could just get one really strong drink like a martini and nurse it.

@minskat30 – You are such an awesomely good person. That was really sweet of you to share your meds.

@speakeasy14 – Omigosh, I’m so excited that your sister’s so close! Also glad you managed to have a good time with your BF’s parents last night!

@TwoDimes – Spring craft show day sounds awesome! Are the any vendors in particular you get excited about? . . . That Chicago weather is bullshit. They can have their sunshine. Haha. Congrats on paying off your car! I can’t wait to get there.

-------------------------------

I've got no plans this entire weekend! I'm hoping that means getting our front yard to a nice looking place. It looks pretty shitty right now.

What's your favorite day of the week? Sunday. BF and I normally stay in bed for a while and cuddle and talk, and if it's nice weather we'll normally go for a hike.

How late do you usually sleep on the weekends? 7-7:30. When the dog gets up.

Do you have a favorite weekend breakfast? Bagels and flavored cream cheese from my favorite local bagel shop!

If you're not going anywhere or having anyone over, do you shower? I'm with @lavenderfields13 - I almost feel MORE inclined to shower on lazy days because I have to show I've done something productive. Plus, my hair just always feels gross enough that I can't stand it.

Do you dress differently on the weekends vs at work/during the week? Nope. Although on weekends I often opt out of a bra.

If the weekend was 3 days, would you rather have off on Friday or off on Monday? Monday!

wink0erin

@swazzle I love weekends with no plans! It's great to be able to do whatever. Also, cat leggings should be acceptable work attire. 
@CocobellaF Mexican restaurant wedding ceremony??? Or is that just the reception?
@speakeasy14 I hope your coworker enjoys the baby shower cake! And YAY Emmy watch!
@labro good luck getting the bathroom contractor ready!
@twodimes Spring Craft Show sounds AWESOME

Re:bras... I took my bra off on Tuesday because it was bugging me and haven't put it back on at all. I'm busty for my size but I just don't care. I've felt so free this week. I've just been wearing camis under my work shirts to keep the girls from flopping out, although I wore a solid color work shirt yesterday and realized I needed to put paper towel in the pockets because the nips were all "HAY GUYS." Note to self... stick with patterns.

I'm wrapping up this week's audit stuff so that I can hopefully head back home early. I've hit a wall with what I'm searching for so I really need some time to regroup/refocus so I don't miss anything when I return next week. 

Last night I found some trails and hiked around. There was an easy path through a wetland area that was pretty nice, then I grabbed some pizza (WHICH WAS AMAZING) in the downtown area and then walked it off by walking around downtown and along a riverfront trail. Pretty nice way to spend an evening.

No plans tonight, but tomorrow afternoon I'm going to a baseball game/beerfest with BF and some friends will probably be there too. Tomorrow evening BF and I are going to the symphony. Where he and I had bought each other tickets to the same event for V-day I had exchanged mine for tomorrow's performance.

No other plans for the weekend other than sleeping in, which is my favorite thing to do every weekend! I love sleep.

What's your favorite day of the week? Saturday!
How late do you usually sleep on the weekends? 11. Sometimes I'll wake up at 10, but I never get out of bed until after 11. The joy of not having pets or kids, I guess.  
Do you have a favorite weekend breakfast? Just my standard coffee. I do enjoy brunch though, mmm.
If you're not going anywhere or having anyone over, do you shower? Hell no. Unless I feel gross or need to go somewhere I don't bathe until Sunday. 
Do you dress differently on the weekends vs at work/during the week? Yes, work week is business casual (more business than casual). On the weekends I don't change out of sweats unless I need to do yardwork or go somewhere, and then I just wear jeans. 
If the weekend was 3 days, would you rather have off on Friday or off on Monday? Friday. Mondays suck but at least everyone else is miserable too. 

minskat30

Blech, I think I'm going to go home early and work from bed.  My back is KILLING me sitting or standing at this point.  Called the doctor's office to make sure I don't have to go in and they were very reassuring that this pain is unfortunate as the baby nestles lower into my hips but not abnormal.  

I hope you all have a great weekend!   

labro

I mean can I just say I am insanely jealous of you people who just like...don't wear a bra and it doesn't matter?

This is me without a bra:


Talk about making work just a tiny bit awkward.

[Deleted User]

Feeling for you @minskat30!  I hope you get some relief soon.

@wink0erin - The actual wedding is at a restaurant.

AlPacina

@labro - If I go in public sans bra it's because I'm wearing multiple shirts under a hoodie. I am also jealous of those who can do it regularly! It sounds so comfortable!

@minskat30 - Feel better, lady! I hope your back gets some relief this afternoon!

Swazzle

This photo seems appropriate on so many levels right now. 

1) Cat leggings from @GoldenPenguin . If you've considered but haven't pulled the trigger on Lularoe leggings, DO IT NOW. They're fucking incredible. 

2) My arms are crossed like that because I'd just gotten out of the shower on Monday, I asked H to take a pic to send to GP and so he took my phone, I stepped back, and he goes "nice boobs". 

3) PIZZA CLOCK! 

labro

@Swazzle That pizza clock is incredible!!

Swazzle

@labro - That was an anniversary or birthday gift from H!

AlPacina

@swazzle - Those leggings are not what I was expecting. They are so cute!! I've been on modcloth this morning and keep finding cat things I wants to send you, but they're expeeeeeensive.

-----------------------------------

Speaking of Modcloth:

I've got BF's brother's wedding in July, ceremony indoors but reception is outdoors...... Does one of these look like a clearer winner? Should I just order both?

This dress looks way short, so I'd probably have to wear some just below the knee leggings or something.

I think this is the dress that got posted a few weeks ago? I really love it, I just don't know if I'll look fancy enough next to BF in his groomsman suit. Although I think his tie is peach, so this one might work well.

labro

@AlPacina I think the second dress works better for an outdoor reception. Both dresses are super pretty but I would wear the second dress again and again!

ETA: I think both would look very pretty even with your BF in a suit. Do your hair nicely, wear some pretty jewelry and nice shoes and you're set!

ETA No 2. If I were Kate Middleton I would wear that second dress.

speakeasy14

re boobie jail: I'm by no means large chested, but the only time I'm not in boobie jail is when I'm home with no plans.  Reason being, I don't want people seeing my high beams.

@wink0erin omg that is my biggest fear, good to know paper towels help!

@labro and now I'm crying

@swazzle pizza clock!!!

wink0erin

@labro That is me this week. I miss having smaller boobs. Sometimes even on the weekends I have to like tuck my shirt under them just because of the sweat. Boobs are kind of gross and annoying. 
@Alpacina I've had a few times where I took a bra off for lounging at home between work and going out and totally forgot to put it back on before heading back out. Not too bad if I'm layering, but totally awkward if I'm not.

Swazzle

@AlPacina - I absolutely LOVE the second one and you need to buy it right now.
