FFF

Jay&Marissa · August 2010

I'll start this now because I'll be too damn busy at work to post tomorrow.

I mostly majored in MIS for the money (though with Jay in med school, I had legitimate concerns) and I might be starting to hate my job already.

Maybe it's the stress talking, but all I want to do right now is get pregnant and be a stay-at-home mom. Maybe turn my hobby into a small business. That's all.

So much for ambition.

bsn1752 · August 2010

Awww, I'm sorry!!!

But I love that you started the FFF post a day early!

TexanTreasure08 · August 2010

This might be totally normal for moms, but the signature on that lady that asked for florist advice for her party creeped me out. I don't want to know that you had a vag delivery. But again, that just might be me since I'm not a mom yet.

mandasue178 · August 2010

Eeek. I just saw that. Most of those don't bother me, because I have ridiculous baby fever, but I'm much more used to the "I went natural" or "cloth diaper momma" that are cute. That one's a little blunt for me.

Marissa, I don't blame you at all. I'd like nothing more than to be barefoot and pregnant right now.

I second the early FFF post. :-P

Gonna bring up my SA Wednesday gripe of some of the girls on my month board complaining about the invites. One girl even complained about bar markings on the RSVPs she recieved. />.< (She had Zazzle stamps which makes a little difference but no one is gonna see them but her.) I really try to not read the threads but some of the thread names are decieving. :-(

bethlovesjim · August 2010

Early! and I just happen to be on here...

My FFF:
TRAVEL AGENT! more specifically, the one from Tiki Trips... Ummm, dont expect my business, and talk to me all day just to try to talk me out of what WE want to do!!! No, I dont want to Island hop in Hawaii, yes I want to be lazy and do nothing. No I dont want to get married in September cause its cheaper. Yes I want July, even though its hot, and may be a little bit more expensive. I want to book now, not in December.

And most of all..... NO I WILL NOT BOOK MY WEDDING DATE (Venue etc.) BEFORE I BOOK THE HONEYMOON...... Why cant these people just work with me? I have a simple goal, I have conveyed my goal, now please allow me to pay you to help me reach that goal!

P.S. Vag birth... yeah, that caught me off guard too. I had to read it a few times to make sure I was understanding what she was telling the world. LOL

meghanttu08 · August 2010

I started a bio but I've been working on it for the past 2 hours and things are not going the way I want them to go!! Sometimes I really dislike computers!!!!!

AmberMarieTX · August 2010

Megan, happy 1 year Pre-Anniversary lol... and sorry this isn't a FFF comment.

annielouise · August 2010

Vag Birth? Really? Wow..

I am going to have a semi-long and possibly confusing rant..

My FSIL calls FI the other night and said she just got off the phone with her mom—FMIL called FSIL and said that FSIL ex-husband was over and they were just having a few drinks and hanging out. FSIL got upset with FMIL because they are still continuing a relationship with the man who tried relinquish FSIL parental rights-literally just to get a rise out of her. FSIL then says, “Even Andrea thinks it isn’t appropriate.” FMIL shoots back, “Oh and you’re going to believe Andrea after she called you a who*e no more than two weeks ago?” WWWHHAT?! Like my integrity is the one that should be in question here…coming from a woman who has cheated on her husband and obviously doesn’t hold much truth to her words.

How the heck did I get brought into this? FMIL hasn’t even talked to me in weeks, she’s acting like a cry-baby since we are moving. On top of that, if I was going to call her a who*e, why the heck would I say it to her mom-of all people? Last night FI called his mom and asked her about it and she said, “I shouldn’t have said that considering she never said anything of the sorts. You don’t have to tell Andrea.” When FI told her I already knew and was very upset about it, she said, “Sorry.”

This woman is freaking insane. I cannot wait to get away from here.

llc2011 · August 2010

I'm flaming Chris' sister for calling me to see if I would give their brother my account number to transfer money so he could pay his TX bills (10 days late) from New Orleans. Are you crazy? H3LL to the NO am I giving you my bank account number! And why would she call me (first time to call me in 3+ years of me and Chris dating) instead of Chris?

Glad I told Chris and he told her absolutely not! I'm sorry if she might see this as b*tchy, but money is not something I mess around with. Sorry if that became more of a rant, I was just so shocked by that this week.

BanannaP · August 2010

Annie and Lauren - Whoa crazy in-laws! Sorry you're having to deal with that!

Yesterday FI told me the amount FMIL wants to give us for our honeymoon. And since my dad is letting us use his miles for the tickets, we should be able to have a very nice honeymoon. I hope (and this is the potentially flammable part) that when she finds out my dad is providing the plane tickets, she doesn't cut the amount! I know that sounds terrible, but it would be awesome to have the trip of our dreams!

Tiffany618 · August 2010

Ooh I got the heebie jeebies just reading the words "vag birth" and "barefoot and pregnant" ... I admire you ladies, because the very thought of either of those situations creeps me out right now. A lot.

Don't get me wrong, I want to have kids some day.... but I'd prefer to skip both of those parts and go straight to the baby.

DFWIndian · August 2010

Andrea sorry to hear about your FMIL insane-ness... Does your FSIL realize it was a lie?
Lauren - Smart girl!

I want to flame Twigs! I know a lot of girls use them, but I'm not going to. I waited a month for an appointment with them. Then, I get there on Saturday and he doesn't show me anything but two little books, others were taken to update the website apparently. He just takes my colors, what kind of flowers I like and what I want. 15min appointment could have been done over email. Either way he says he will send pics Saturday afternoon. I call Tuesday because I recieved nothing! Lady there says I'll get a call back he's on the phone. Saturday after work no call so I call again he's out for the day will be back Thursday! Thrusday evening. Get 6 pics of flowers, all white except one blue one! I told him I want mostly color in the bouquets and I need purple... there was no message included!!! Really? No, I"m sorry, NOTHING! I'm annoyed and will not recommend or speak highly of them to anyone! Thanks I need to vent. I was pissed when I got the email last night.

OH MY GOD. That was going to be my FFF too!!!!! I saw that and I was like "uhh whoa."

And I'm a mom!!!!

lacy1603 · August 2010

I flame people that have not RSVP'd to our wedding! Have some manners...the reply date is sunday!

P.S. I can't find this signature yall are talking about and I want to see it...dang it!

angieandjames · August 2010

I'm flaming my two best friends today. It's a long and dramatic story, but involved pregnancies, engagements, and unsupportiveness, and I'm stuck in the middle, and I don't like drama! That is all.

serlace · August 2010

I ditto the lady who asked about the florist. Her signature was a bit TMI for me as well. I honestly don't think that's anyones business, so no need to broadcast it. But, I'm not a bumpie, so what do I know.

My FFF - my MOH has yet to send out invites to my shower (it's less than a month away now) - b/c she is too busy trying to put together her wedding that's in October that she decided to have last month. Don't get me wrong, i realize how hard that is and how busy she is right now (I've even done lots of research for her - as her MOH). However, please don't just push me to the side. I have even offered to help with the shower - to no avail. I'm at a loss. At least my mom will be there - ha.

-- I was wondering too and found it! Honestly her kid is over a year old and she's expecting another one.. Why would you put that on your sig?

appletango85 · August 2010

some women actually believe they are superior because they delivered vaginally, drug free and/or no c-section. I have learned a lot being on a pregnant board lol. They get flamed there too though as it is a pretty elitist way of thinking much like racism or sexism. They like to wave their vag badge all high and might and looking down on others who didn't do it "naturally". Pretty stinky. All that should matter is that you got a healthy baby and mom in the end.

fallbride1109 · August 2010

"vag badge?" How quaint.

I had a baby vaginally with no drugs. I don't recommend it.

Apple, are you pregnant??!!

Posted by appletango85[/QUOTE]

Well, I had a baby, uhh, "non-c-section style" (let's just call it that)... and LOVED <strong>every second of the drugs</strong> that they gave me. And my child is healthy, vivacious and doesn't really care whether or not I had an epidural!

Personally, I think the women that preach about having them "au natural" are off their rockers. Or some kind of masochist for wanting to experience the pain! But, uh, no offense to them?

lol yeah that was a term someone else coined. I thought it was pretty funny! They also have etsy sellers that actually sell "vag badges". It's crazy some of the stuff people make about not only vaginal deliveries but doing them after a c-section to. AND display!! Creepy!

yeah and barefoot at the moment actually LOL but only til I have to get up from my desk at work to do something or get something lol I plan on getting all the drugs I can get too LOL

appletango85 · August 2010

For some reason my mom did all 4 of her kids drug free and I was like bravo mom but there is no way in heck I could do that! I could see trying one time(not myself though LOL)...and I get some people want that for their own personal reasons/beliefs...but why should it matter HOW someone is delivering when the important part is a healthy baby at the end of it. And bragging about how you had your baby is a pretty judgemental statement to other mom's. There are some women out there who are made to feel as FAILURES as women because someone ripped them apart for having a c-section..medically necessary or not! It's sad that some women do that to other women.

llc2011 · August 2010

Apple - Congrats!!!!!

annielouise · August 2010

Yes FSIL did realize that it was a lie. Thank God.

I have no desire to push anything out of my hooha, the mere thought of it makes me nauseous. I dred the day I have to give birth. I cant stand hearing people talk about it, the pain, the tearing, the feces. OMG I think I just puked in my mouth.

If you don't find it normal to tell people about the crap you took last night, why is that you feel it is appopriate to tell me about the crap you endured while giving birth, 10 minutes after meeting me?? If I dont ask, DONT TELL.

I agree, that is very sad. And you're absolutely right... as long as the end result means a sucessful birth and a happy, healthy baby... who cares?? Not me!

And to add - I actually had a lady tell me that I "don't really know what it's like to be a mother" since I had an epidural. Really?!?

fallbride1109 · August 2010

Apple, I am sooooo happy for you! Make me your friend on FB or something so I can keep up.

*annielouise please stop reading--you've been warned*

Hee, BSN, I actually did have an epidural but I was having such a hard time getting her out they turned it off so I could feel the contractions.

I will say--childbirth is something that stays with a woman forever. You can't explain it to someone that has never experienced it so I won't even try. But you can talk about it forever if someone wants you to. The trick is to realize that most people don't.
