Also. I had a TB skin test yesterday, and for the first time in having a million of these done, I appear to be having a pretty nasty reaction to it. Will have it read tomorrow.
The hotel we are staying at has feather pillows, and no other options. I asked. I'm allergic to down.
Here's hoping the TB test is negative! Chest x-ray bad, as would having to admit to having had a positive TB test in the past. From what I've heard, it has to be a very obvious reaction for it to be considered positive. I worried about getting a false positive back when we were in NC, and my clinic wanted me to get a TB test before and after every trip I took outside the US (averaged about 6-8 trips out of the US each year at the time).

Thanks! Usually any sign that I've had it done disappears within an hour or two. This time it's still raised and red, and the redness is only spreading (about 4 times it's original size right now). I'm also having a ton of pain in that arm.
Someone on Facebook just shared a disgusting video of some kid abusing babies at his daycare. The poster said she's so glad she doesn't have to send her kid to daycare and gets to stay home (DUDE, you stay home because you didn't graduate high school and you would make less than the child care providers you'd have to pay). I don't want to get in a mommy war on Facebook (particularly because I don't have a kid), but why the fuck post that and then take a dig at every mom who works outside of the house?

Saturday we had a major drunken night out and went to a strip club near the end. Somehow I ended up talking to a stripper about how we both had young kids (?), then when she was giving me a lap dance she just kept talking about her children (?!). This was decidedly not hot so about halfway through I hopped up and nicely told her my DH was going to tag in. To make this MM, she then raised the price of the dance from $25 to $40.

Ugh, someone commented on a friend's Facebook status about how staying at home with your child was "the unselfish choice." Guess we know which the "selfish choice" is, huh?

:@
Kids are far more likely to be abused in their own homes.
My random is that I'm going commando today. I did laundry yesterday, but never got around to doing a load of "delicates." After I threw out all of my old underwear & replaced with hanky panky thongs, I only have, like, a 2 week supply.
We live in a 4-plex and just found out Tuesday that the entire neighborhood is coming to our pool for a Christmas party tonight. I've been puking all day and really don't feel up to going but I need to just suck it up and show my face.
Also, we have about 2.5 more weeks here and I haven't started packing or organizing things for the move at all. It's overwhelming!
Word. Also even infants are shown to benefit from the regular peer interactions they get at daycare. I don't feel like searching for the article now, but in my child psych class we learned that infants developed quicker cognitively, physically, and social-emotionally (at licensed, high-quality facilities) compared to at-home infants who didn't have those peer interactions.
Ultimately do what works for your family, but DON'T POST TWISTED VIDEOS ON FACEBOOK AND PLANT THOSE SEEDS IN OTHER PARENTS' MINDS!

I am wearing a sweater dress today. It is against dress code for a Thursday (but I decided to say fuck it to the dress code because our holiday party was last night).
On the subway, I realized that it is definitely way too short for work.
At 11:15, I realized it was on backwards.
About 15 minutes ago I realized it has a huge, obvious hole.

Do all of your underwear now have rhinestones on them? :-(

LOL v! Are you at least wearing tights with it? I totally wore a too-short-for-work sweater dress last week, but I thought it was ok because I was wearing opaque tights.

I am going on a work trip to Hawaii in 2 weeks and I am so embarrassed to wear my bathing suit in front of co-workers, even the ones I consider friends. I need to get some kind of good cover up.

That shit pisses me off, the posting of horrific videos. Those are people's children that are being exploited so you can be a scantimonious twat. Fuck off.
Sanctimony in general pisses me off. Glad you stay at home and thinks it's the ONLY way to raise a child. Whoopdedoo, do you want the cookie or the sticker?

haha. Only 3 pairs They all say "bride" in rhinestones. My H was like "WTF...lol" when he saw them.
I'm starting to get seriously pissed about this fiscal cliff business. I just read that the House will be voting on the GOP's Plan B tonight which has no hope of passing in the Senate. What is wrong with these people?? Why are they so stubborn? It's starting to verge on stupidity.
DD1's school was on lock down this morning due to someone reporting a suspicious person with a rifle in the area. H was with her at the time and said it was handled perfectly and the kids didn't know that anything was wrong, but I'm freaking out. I didn't even know about it until after the fact, but my anxiety is through the roof and I'm freaking out and just can't shake it.
I'm working on our wills today and it seems so weird to look at my possessions and make a decision on what would go to whom.
I also want my body donated to a medical school or any other type of research facility, if none of my organs or tissue can be used. I'm ok with being a crash test dummy.
BUT - I want my ashes scattered on a rose bush. And, it must be a red rose bush, god dammit. I can't bring myself to add this to my list because it sounds cray-cray. But, it's what I want.

I rolled in to work with these two babies on my desk. This CW gives me the best holiday gifts every year! Alcohol goes a long way in the Onda household.
I had a grueling 2+ hours meeting just now. On top of which I was late for work because I did not sleep until 2am. I now got a headache.
I took 4 Advil from my other CW, and I only see 2 left on my desk, a minute later. I don't remember taking the other 2. And my headache is still here :-(
Except for the wine bottles, it's been a harsh day.
Oh, I have one for you, RBP! I want to see the Star Trek dress!
Ha! I didn't get a picture of myself wearing it at work last week. I've had the dress for years, but this is the best full-length picture I could find. (This is from my friend's rehearsal dinner; I wore opaque black tights to work.)
Uh, DH and I are still feeling pretty sick, trying to figure out when would be the time to call off any family visits and festivities. Sunday is suppose to be a party for DH's side, but with his grandmother going through chemo, thinking we probably should stay home. I can already hear his mother complaining, but I dont see it as a good thing to risk for his grandmother.
