UO/II/Confessions

eilis1228 · June 2016

We haven't done one of these in a while, and I feel like @cu97tiger was jonesing for one in the TPBM thread.

UO: Like @southernpeach89, I do not see the point of Snapchat. I have one, but I never use it. I'd rather post pics to Insta or FB, or text the pics to the person I intend to show them to. Why do we need Snapchat? Why do pics need to disappear in 30 seconds? WHAT ARE YOU GUYS SENDING THAT MUST BE DESTROYED? lol

II: I get irrationally irritated when a TV show has no continuity between seasons. I'm looking at you, Parenthood.

Confession: I have most definitely blown my monthly budget on personal purchases, and I don't care.

UO: I'm not a cat person.

II: The neighbors keep mowing into our yard and they cut the grass lower than we like.

Confession: I have literally done zero work all morning. Instead I am organizing my recipe book.

UO: I'm not a @beachyone15 person.

JUST KIDDING!

Confession - My dragon roll is disappointing. Good thing I got a fatty lunch with veggie dumplings so there's still something I enjoy.

Not a UO - I don't get Snapchat and have zero interest in downloading it.

UO/Confession - I got really sick and tired of the holier than thou memes all over Facebook on Monday regarding Memorial Day. Maybe it's just not a "thing" where I live but people in general seem to be pretty respectful and understanding of the reason for the day while also enjoying time with family and friends. They definitely aren't as clueless as the memes implied.

II - People have been parking in "my" parking spot. I park there because it's far away from the building and no-one parks there, therefore, nobody can bang their car door into my new car. Now everyone parks there because there's a tiny amount of shade and it drives me nuts.

FWP: I should have gotten a large quesadilla instead of a small.

Confession: I could have eaten sour cream with a spoon.

(Apparently not an) UO: I also don't get SnapChat.

[Deleted User] · June 2016

UO: I share the same snapchat UO as @eilis1228 for the same reasons.

Confession: Callie fell twice this weekend while trying to pull herself up on things and hit her head. Granted it was not a hard hit but both times I was looking the other way and could have caught her. AND she also sliced open her finger. I feel horrible that I probably could have prevented both of these things from happening. It was a first for me for bandaging up someone besides myself. I felt like a bad mom and really guilty even though I know more of these things are to come in the future.

Confession: DH is a better gardener than I'll ever be and I've always wanted to have a green thumb but I'm about to give up and let him take the reigns on that.

II: People. Lol. It's like when did everything become a freaking argument and why are there so many concerns about all the things that have been around FOREVER. I know some things generally have bad affects but it's like, can I just put sunscreen on my child without being judged what type of sunscreen I'm using or can I just let my child run around barefoot, crawl in the grass, and be licked by her dog without being judged that she will get dirt or germs on her?

minskat30 · June 2016

II: I'm irritated at my child for being stubborn even though I love her and it isn't her fault that my body doesn't know what the fuck it is doing. And H keeps patting my belly and saying "don't blame my little princess" when I talk about my irritation, which makes me want to stab him in the eye...true love!

UO: As frustrated as I am, I really don't get people who induce early into labor unless it is truly necessary. A number of women I know in a birth group with me are getting induced, scheduling c-sections, etc. and about half of them don't have a real legitimate reason. It frustrates me to no end that I'm sitting around waiting like a patient person and their doctors are all "Want the baby? Have it NOW!" It is that feeling you get when someone cuts in line in front of you and you think "what the hell?!?" I feel like we live in a world full of immediate gratification and its hard not to cave into that.

Confession: I'm irritated at myself for posting about baby crap and work crap and nothing else of late. Oh and Raj. But he's cute so I can't be too irritated at that. I'll get better, promise.

labro · June 2016

Confession - I threw away the remainder of my sushi roll because it was THAT bad.

Popular Opinion - PB and mayo is one of the most disgusting combos I think I've ever heard of.

UO - I don't understand PB2. What's wrong with real peanut butter?

This is from the website:
PB2 is peanut butter reimagined. Freshly roasted peanuts are pressed to remove 85% of the fat and calories. The result is a delicious and all natural alternative to traditional peanut butter with twice the healthy proteins per gram than its traditional counterpart. PB2 can be mixed with any liquid to make a spread, eaten straight from the jar or added to recipes for a rich nutty flavor.

People literally eat powdered peanut butter straight from the jar? WTF?

ETA:

Also you can literally buy "natural" peanut butter...it's not like the only thing on the market is Jif or PB2.

labro · June 2016

@minskat30 As long as you don't 100% disappear on us after Ani is born all with be forgiven!

eilis1228 · June 2016

@labro I think you can buy it in non-powdered form. I dunno. I use the chocolate one as a dip for fruit, not as a peanut butter replacement.

Confession: I don't like working from home two days in a row. My productivity goes down significantly by the second day, and I actually miss being in the office.

[Deleted User] · June 2016

@labro I agree with all the things you post.

@minskat30 I totally felt the same way when I was pregnant. The end is near! Also I totally would stab your H in the eye for saying that too.

labro · June 2016

Confession - I don't like dipping my fruit in anything. It's fruit. It's fucking delicious all by itself. (@eilis1228

)

Confession - Apparently I feel salty today.

Confession - There are people that I literally judge every day and look for reasons to judge them (not that it's hard).

UO - I can't stand Facebook. I want to delete it from my life and yet I can't bring myself to do it because of friends.

eilis1228 · June 2016

@labro Mmmmm fruit is amazing. I will eat it all types of ways. Grilled, dipped in stuff, frozen, blended, au natural... so good! I'm jealous that you live in Georgia with all the best peaches.

labro · June 2016

U/O? Poodles are ugly.

eilis1228 · June 2016

II: My emails always go nuts on the days I work from home. When I'm in the office, everything is super quiet. When I'm working at home, I have to put out a million fires remotely.

jenna8984 · June 2016

@minskat30 I feel the same way. Girl on my FB was just saying on Sunday that she is 1 day past her due date and wants to ask to be induced. And people were commenting "Yea! Why not?! Worth a shot!" I did not comment but in my head I was like you're stupid. Inducing has like a 50% increased risk of C-section. Yes, I understand if you're 10 days late and that's the doctor's call that it needs to happen, but don't bring that on yourself just because you're impatient.

@labro have never heard of this PB2 in my life- sounds fucking nasty.

@southernpeach89 @eilis1228 I don't think anyone/know anyone over 25 years old that uses snapchat. It's totally just a thing for high school and college kid to send naked pics. Don't know anyone else who uses it for any other reason lol

II- I hate that 2 months later I'm still typing up instruction manuals for when I go on leave. I mean it's irrational because who else would do it- it's my job and I created everything I do here so I'm the only one that could document it. But it's still annoying and I hate doing it.

Confession: I've been stalking my registry since my shower is this weekend. I don't allow myself to look at the sender's name so I don't know who bought what but it's still exciting every time I see a new purchase.

Confession: I didn't have a graduation party, an engagement party, bridal shower, or bachelorette party, and my wedding was only immediate family. So having gone to everyone else's 3-5 events over the years, I'm really excited about the baby shower and having at least one event that's like all about me (and the baby).

labro · June 2016

Confession - I don't understand the purpose of running skirts...at ALL.

Also, whatever happened to wearing your shittiest clothes to exercise in? I feel like such a slob when I go running because I don't have fancy patterned outfits and bright neon dry-fit tanks and junk but I can't justify spending all that money on something I don't even wear an entire day. And I'm not a cheapskate...but I feel like I walk out of Target spending $100 on just a single outfit and that's not right!

LizzyTish88 · June 2016

UO: I don't mind SnapChat. Don't use it all the time but like to every once and awhile. I mostly have family on there, and we use it to send funny shit to each other. I also check the filters all the time because some of them can be funny as hell (see the collage from yesterday with BF and my face swap)

Confession: I'm feeling nostalgic today. I graduated 10 years ago today and it's making me feel all sorts of things. There was so much I thought I would have done by now, and I think I only have done maybe 2 out of 10 things on that list.

Confession II: BF asked me to make a wreath for our front door. I looked some up for inspiration and he told me to do one with his last initial. I told him I can't because it's not mine and he responded that it's his last name and he doesn't think it's weird. The BSC in me is dying to do it but I know it's not time yet.

Confession III: I am trying to keep busy so I don't get BSC before our trip.. but I have too many things that I want to do so it's not helping. I need to stop and find one distraction.

II: Our basic channels still aren't working and SYTYCD skipped through the whole thing. All I want to do is watch the kids dance! I could call Comcast but.. I don't want to wait forever and be given the runaround.

Blue & White · June 2016

@labro I know I've been living under a rock lately but I haven't even heard of PB2. Don't mess with a good thing is my vote

II: I want H to go to outpatient therapy (he's currently doing home therapy) just so his appts are at more regular times. Like ok PT is Tues/thurs at 2 or something would be great. This may be rational

II: I don't get why I'm supposed to tip the shipt delivery folks. I mean I love that you brought me my groceries but ya know (ps if anyone wants a referral code, let me know!)

confession: I tricked H into watching the bachelorette with me yesterday lol. He would never have done this pre-accident. He said he wouldn't date JoJo cause she's immature and annoying lol.

MissKittyDanger · June 2016

UO - pb and mayo - it sounds gross but you have to be super picky about mayo you use AND can't use too much. Best part? Keeps pb super creamy and prevents it from sticking to roof of your mouth. Maybe it's just my family who does this lmao

II - rant: had to talk to lawyer's office to see about a status certificate from condo corp ... they've sent letter and cheque, but condo corp hasn't gotten off their ass about the certificate.

Confession: I have such a headache today making me want to do jack shit, but my desk is a mess ....

Confession: I use snapchat. A few of my friends use it also, but mostly I use it to watch about upcoming things that people I watch on youtube have.

PamBeesly524 · June 2016

UO - I hate dipping my cookies in milk. I think it's disgusting and soggy and gross.

@Blue & White Where is your avatar?!? I keep on thinking you're a noob and then I realize you're not!

GoldenPenguin · June 2016

Confession: I have Snapchat and I've never used it to send a naked picture.

Confession: I miss posting here sometimes, but I usually only want to respond to certain people, so I just do that privately on one of the other 8439027 forms of communication I have with them.

Confession: I don't miss some of the posters who have ghosted.

II: I drank two iced coffees this morning which means I've had to pee approximately 35 times, and I'm annoyed by it because the bathroom is SO far away.

II: People on my FB who I know from high school who only communicate with me to shill whatever MLM they're all hyped up on. Here's a hint, if you're working for a company that needs to name itself "It WORKS!" it probably doesn't work. Second hint, if you've messaged me 50 times about joining your party, and I haven't responded to any one of those messages, I probably don't want to join your god damn party.

UO: I fucking LOVE LuLaRoe and I'm not ashamed at all. (I don't know if this has even been discussed here, but on some of the other forums I lurk on, people are REAL snarky about LLR and their "ugly patterned leggings." Bitch, please.)

SO MUCH THIS!!! OMG Had this happen three times last week. I see you daily posts I will reach out if interested.. which I am not.

minskat30 · June 2016

Confession @goldenpenguin - I miss you around these parts.

It makes me very happy when you post.

eilis1228 · June 2016

@GoldenPenguin OMG I need those leggings in my life. But I hate having to get stuff through a consultant.

FWP: I would like to get a pair of LuLaRoe leggings, but I really don't want to buy them through a consultant. I like to shop online from the comfort of my home where I don't have to do deal with people.

jenna8984 · June 2016

@goldenpenguin I don't know anyone who sells LLR so I really didn't know anything about it, except I'd heard they were overpriced leggings. Went over my SIL's last week and she was wearing some so I started asking her about it. Once I got one touch of their softness I was like whoa baby- I want that!!!!! She said hers were like $30 or something and I said that's it?! I mean the way I'd heard people talk about them, I thought they were like $100! lol
