Hahaha! I love it. I did that with my sweater the day I had DD baptised. We're sitting in church, just as the service is about to start, and I happened to look down and saw the care tag on my side. I started cracking up and had to run quickly to reverse it.

Madam A - I needed that laugh more than you ever know!

Madam A · March 2011

Haha glad I could entertain you ladies with my confession. I have to admit I laughed to myself in the bathroom when I discovered it.

I DO drink coffee and a decent amount of water. I just don't get up to pee enough. Normally by the time I get up and go I am dying and I'm in there peeing for like 10 minutes.

I confess I heart working from home. I have laundry in the dryer, dinner on the stove, my feet up, sweatpants on, and I'm still tapped into work stuff. SO much more productive this way... and relaxed.

RA- What do you use to moisturize with? I have these weird bumps on my arms- they feel and look like pimples, but they don't pop like them and they hurt like crazy. They have started recently, since about the time that I was put on new meds. The doctors said to exfoliate and moisturize; since I am pretty much bed boudn, it may be a result of that.

The problem is, I have really sensitve skin, and some stuff makes it worse. I love the Eucerin Calming Creme, as well as the Aveeno Skin Relief (it has menthol in it, which helps to get rid of the burning that sometimes happens). I have tried the new St. Ives Soothing lotion, and I really like that too.

I really want to find something for in the shower though- a bath oil or gel, something to put on in the shower to help. Any suggestions? My mom said to use the Johnson's bath gel, but I am not a fan of it.

Confession:
I am so excited about the house, but at the same time I am panicing about whether or not we made the right choice. This is a BIG purchase, what if we are not making the right decision?! DH has the same panic moments.

Did anyone else who has bought a house have the same thoughts? Or are we just crazy?

Confession:
Today is the first anniversary of my puppy's death. Well, she wasn't a puppy (she was 15), but we called her our puppy. She was the first pet that we really experienced the death of, and it's been really hard. I miss her so much.

MBR- definitely try the bio oil. IMO it's amazing. it can be used in the bath too.

A friend of mine is an aesthician or however the heck you spell it and gives me facials every now and then. She made me this great exfoliator- it's brown sugar, honey, a little bit of coconut milk, and a bit of lime juice. I'll have to get the exact 'recipie' from her for you. I've never had anything make my skin smoother. I put in on before I get in the shower, on dry skin, and wash it off in the shower. It's amazing.

I confess I'm a little nervous about getting b-pics. I'm very self conscious of my body.

I confess the smell and taste of these vitamins makes me wanna vomit.

I could do agree with this more. I love when I can work from home.

MBR - I had MANY breakdowns leading up to buying/building our house. Mainly just the unknowns. Few months after you moved in you'll be fine, at least that's what I'm hoping... should be done in May.

>> This is a BIG purchase, what if we are not making the right decision?!<<

Every once in a while the thought of paying that mortgage payment (which is $500 more then our rent was) freaks me out. I keep thinking to myself "WHAT DID I JUST GET MYSELF INTO??"

paprika28 · March 2011

Amy- Me too. I'm bringing wine.

I confess I haven't done much to get ready for the b-pics. If I don't look good, it's my own fault.

Ms.BriarRose · March 2011

You have no idea how big a relief it is to know that we are not the only ones with these thoughts. We seriously laid awake for hours last night, questioning each other as to whether or not we were making a mistake, etc.

We love the house, but I think you are right, Mana. It's that fear of the unknown. Amer, our payment is $300 more, and that is one of the big things that I am freaking out about...can we afford this, what happens if we can't, what happens....I think I am psyching myself out.

mana8503 · March 2011

MBR and Amer - uh I didn't sleep for a month... I'm ok now, but it'll be restless nights again when we get close to it being done. Our mortgage will be $1000 more than rent right now. *gulp* Once we marry and I can be put on the VA loan it'll be better (,25% off interest and no PMI). So yea... it's crazy stressful. FI will still get housing allowance when he's a full time student thanks to the GI bill so it's doable... and I'll be his sugar mama.

MBR--for body I use Bliss body butters. They have hyaluronic acid in them, which is super hydrating.

What you're describing sounds like keratosis pilaris. It's also called "chicken skin." And the best thing for it is using a good scrub (one that has microbeads and glycolic acid is best, but a good hot salt scrub will work too) and a very hydrating moisturizer. Eucerin is good. I used that when I was a kid. Happy Harry's also makes this GREAT cream called Formula 2, which I like better than Eucerin, honestly. It's the same idea, but it's less greasy.

Bride_to_be_2011 · March 2011

I confess I hate when she takes 1.5 hour nap, when she used to sleep 3 hours! ugh. I could sleep 3 hours! LOL why cant she?

FutureMrsTCT · March 2011

paprika - if you get that recipe, pass it on to me too! I need something good for my decolletage
