They're kinda frumpy, but I don't care because they were $23, they're comfortable, and frumpy is fine by me for work.
I am wearing one today and got a compliment on it from my grandmotherly CW.
I got mine, too, and don't find them frumpy at all! I actually meant to snap a picture when I wore one Monday, but forgot. Love that they're so easy to pump in.
Agree re: pumping.
I think mine might be a little too big on me on top and that's why it looks frumpy. But I was too lazy to exchange it.
I really need to take advantage of the fact that both kids are sleeping at the same time right now and take down all the Christmas shit.
We wait till mid Dec to put it up because we keep it up till Epiphany, which was last Sunday. DH left for a work trip Monday and we had 8 million other things going on this weekend, so it's all still up. It's driving me crazy, but I also like sitting on my couch doing nothing.
That sucks.... Is her sister spoiled too? Does your older daughter know about your pregnancy? ( Feel free not to answer that if you don't want to I am just curious)
Yes, they are both spoiled. I don't think that their parents mean to spoil them. I think that it is more along the lines of they wanted children for so long that they just want to give them everything. However, the younger sister doesn't act spoiled at all. She is so sweet.
I haven't told them yet. I haven't really told anyone but you guys!
The State Farm show is going on in Harrisburg this week. There was sooo much hick and so many trashy unruly unsupervised kids (I know there were some school groups there but can't imagine how they're letting these 12-16 year olds wander around this huge complex by themselves. Anyway, I was getting annoyed by it all so we didn't end up staying long. DS saw a bunch of animals and I got my milkshake so that's all I cared about.
I will admit that my post isn't just about Peggy. There seems to be an influx of people lately who don't really understand how money works. You have to spend less than you make if you ever want to buy a house or have savings. MM 000.

My crap is still up, too. H and I need to be motivated this weekend to take it down.
I have finally had an epiphany. I am ready to end 3.5 year relationship with SO.
Gettingfitt, I don't really know you, but I think you're around my age? You seem at peace (?) with your decision, and I'm sure much better things are ahead of you. (*)
I want to start trying for a baby in 2 years but I haven't started a "Baby Fund" and I might not have enough leave saved for more than 3 months of maternity leave. I also have no idea where the thing would sleep in our tiny-ass condo.
I have stopped washing my apples. I'm too lazy to walk to the cafeteria to clean them, and I've decided I just don't care that much.
Will try to think of something better!
That's not flameworthy. That just skeeves me out. I am more disgusted by the thought of how many people might have touched the apple before I bought it than worrying about whether it was sprayed with pesticides.
I have been going to Starbucks almost daily lately mainly because... I love watching a new star drop into my cup on the app.
Granted, I'm not even spending "real" money (my boss's boss gave me a large Starbucks card for Christmas), but yeah. I mean, I love me a chai latte, but really I am hoarding stars. This got even worse when H pointed out that if I tip my phone, the stars tumble around. So basically, I'm a five-year-old.

I like watching the (*) drop into the cup too. Recently, I went down from Gold to Green because I wasn't buying enough. BOO
To be fair, Peggy did write that she couldn't afford $$$ photos and was thinking of the mall studio which is pretty inexpensive. There are worse ways to spend money you don't have imo.
There is an influx of people who are bad with money because this is the MM board and they want advice. Since the year is starting, they are probably making financial resolutions and trying to get their shit together. Where else would they go? lol

I'm looking at bridal and baby shower stuff just because I want to throw a girly party for someone. I'm mopey because I will probably never get to do either. *self-loathing*
ha, I was like this too. I was so excited to throw a shower for my brother's fiance. It was beautfiful and I put so much thought/effort into everything.
Showever was awkward and the fiance never thanked me.
But, she called off the wedding 2 days (2 days!) after the shower because she was sleeping with another guy. She kept all the gifts. no joke.
I will take it further. I have two HS friends on FB who both have recently posted about going to the shooting range. I judge them. Why would you want a hobby like that??
Clearly I have no room to talk since my hobby is sitting on my arse watching tv on my kindle.
BIL is broke and has to work 2 jobs just to pay bills. Meaning, his FT job, plus SIL's FT job doesn't cover their basic bills.
I'm pretty sure they're using the christmas gift from FIL for a spring break trip. I know they can do what they want with the money, but I'm also pretty sure FIL gave it to them to pay bills. The whole family knows they're broke.
I'm slightly jealous my brother/SIL are having a boy (2nd kid, first was a girl who is 15mo).
I also really do not want them to move here. They live in GA now & recently told me they decided on moving here after my little bro finishes grad school. I love my SIL & neice but my brother drives me bonkers. He's such a know it all, arrogant & talks down to my SIL. Plus I don't want to babysit any one's kid. This makes me a huge hypocrit because my sister, mil, BILs babysit my kids all the time.
I've been loving the "hi, I make an average salary, live in a HCOL with no savings, a fuck ton of consumer debt and want to know how to buy a house in 2 years."
You can't. The end.
Also probably not that flameworthy, but I'm struggling today (maybe I'm in a good mood? not sure), but when people bitch and moan about their high cost of living, my first thought is that if they think the grass is so much greener elsewhere, they should move to those greener pastures rather than doing the "My area is SOOOOO expensive. I wish I lived in a cheap area like yooooou do" thing. If they insist on staying where they are, it must be attractive to them for some reasons and they shouldn't complain all that much.
My second thought is that the point is usually really to brag rather than complain, so they'll bragplain either way.
