Who's around?

Brie2010

FI's in Vegas for his bachelor party, so I'm home alone with the animals and bored out of my mind.  What's everyone else doing?

RachNRich

I'm here. Rich just brought home pizza. So, I'm stuffing my face. Yum.

RachNRich

When's your b-party, Brie?

topchef33

We need to go grocery shopping still. The later it gets the more I really don't feel like getting out.

I don't want to go tomorrow b/c it's always crazy on Sundays and the last time we went on a Sunday it seemed like half of what we needed was out of stock.

I'm here!  Watching America's Next Top Model on the CW website, eating some homemade chicken nuggets.

Brie2010

My first one is March 27th, the one in Napa is April 16-19.   I actually found stuff to wear to them today, so I'm happy about that.

Mmm, pizza.  I made homemade pizza for dinner but the crust didn't rise very well so it wasn't great.  Sad.

aMrsin09

I was here, but it's 2:11 AM for me and we have to be out of the house by 8:30 AM, so i need to get some sleep.

ETA: Have a good night!

Brie2010

And now I want chicken nuggets.  Mmmm.

Is my signature breaking the boards?  It looks like it is and I can't figure out why.

It seems fine to me.

Brie2010

Sig looks fine to me, Pink.

I'm here! Bored, several of my friend went out last night when I had other plans, and now no one wants to go out tonight and that makes me sad.

ThePinkSuperhero

Good to hear!  To me, it looks like the post under mine gets pushed over to the right a little.  Not sure why, but if I'm the only one who sees it, not a problem!

salt78

I'm here. I'm cooking. Hopefully it won't taste like crap when it's done. 

jasmineh7777

I'm here, waiting for FI to bring home chinese food. Yum.

tidetravel

I'm here.  I just put Taryn down, hopefully she'll sleep for a while.  I'm using the "she's sleeping and I don't want to wake her" excuse to avoid doing dishes or cleaning the bedroom

ETA:  I'm also eating chips and guac

I'm not gonna lie, that phrase freaked me out at first.

tidetravel

Sorry TLV - I guess I picked it up from the bump.  I don't think about it, but, yeah...  probably sounds wrong to people who aren't speaking baby (whenever I see BM now, I think breastmilk or bowel movement before bridesmaid)

tlv204

haha, and i've been spending more time on Pets on the nest, different mind frames I guess!

How is Taryn doing? And you?

Brie2010

Tide, I love that picture.  She's so cute.

Salt, what are you making?

thesuninherhead

I'm here, H and I just got home. 

 

How is everyone?

We're going ok.  It was nice to get to spend the day with her today.  She's been giving DH a fit during the day when I'm at work - won't nap and screaming and crying for hours at a time.  I'm not sure if it's seperation anxiety or if DH doesn't pick up on her tired cues early enough, thereby missing the 10 minute window to get her to go down for a nap.  He called me when I was on the way home from work yesterday, (stuck in the Fri rush hour traffic and the rain) and she was crying in the background, he was crying because he couldn't get her to stop, and I was crying because I couldn't get home quick enough.  It was not the best day.

I never dreamed that I would like to be a SAHM, but I really wish I didn't have to work right now.  But, even with the tantrums, DH loves being a SAHD, and  I think it's really good for the two of them to be home together and build that bond.

Laine's husband is going to stay home with X ray at least for a while after her maternity leave is over, and I think they're pretty excited about it too. I kind of have a feeling H and I will argue over who gets to stay home with kids I think we'll both want to, and neither of us are totally in love with our careers at the moment.

tidetravel

Thanks Brie - she's so smiley and giggley right now.  It's awesome

baystateapple

I'm here...just finished moving and settling in.  Only things left to unpack are my clothes and finish organizing the bedroom closet.  But the rest of the apartment is done.  Thank God.

tidetravel

I figure that we just need to find a way to become independently wealthy.  I don't play the lottery, so that's out.  Maybe some long lost relative will die and leave us a couple million.  That would be plenty enough for me.

It seems like after you (meaning all of us) post, adding in the 'edit' button pushed the heading of the next post off, but only to you.

I'm here, I'm kinda a random though.  I am happy I just successfully talked FI out of letting his brother drop off his dog for the night.  We have 6 pets, that's enough.  And I have a feeling his brothers dog would eat one of the cats.  

So now we are sitting on the couch, being lazy.  Typical Saturday night.  I am trying to figure out ways to convince my association to let us do a community garden.

You've never heard that?  People say it all the time and my dad HATES it because of what you thought of.  It's pretty common, though.

He's better.  He's been at work most of the day, so he got a little break.  She's normally a smiley, happy baby, so the last couple of crying days have been somewhat out of character for her.  I was off last weekend, and two days last week for various things, so I don't know if she was used to mommy being home or what.  She's been an absolute dream today, though.  I guess the two of them just need to get their groove back.
