Me: I went to a networking event at a massive hotel last night. Met a few nice people there. Maybe had a few drinks. After our event ended, new friend and I decided to crash the big 4 accounting firm holiday party downstairs :/
And I may have stolen some of the (lame) party booth props when the accounting party ended.
According to my DH, a 6th grade teacher whose students throw this word around a lot, ratchet is an insult for someone who is trying hard but missing the mark/is a hot mess. Like "Look at her haircut, what was she thinking? That's ratchet"
That makes no sense as a photo booth prop! Which I suppose is not unexpected, but...
My BF sold his car last night and I have the $2600 in cash in my purse right now (we figured that was safer than his pocket, less likely to fall out). I am thinking I'm going to deposit it in my bank account today. He owes me rent anyway and I'll just write him a check for the rest. I am not too comfortable walking around with 26 $100 bills. I'm less concerned about being robbed than I am about somehow losing it.
That's probably not flameful at all lol, but I feel weird depositing it without asking first since we don't share a bank account. I tried calling him to give him a heads up/ask and his phone is dead.
Another totally stupid one. I'm planning to send out Christmas cards to my closest family and friends. But I'm just using leftover cards from 2 years ago. The same people would have gotten the same card 2 years ago. Nobody will remember, right? They are cute golden retriever puppies that I bought from Costco, not personalized ones.
It's that or no cards, but I realized it would cost me nothing and make me less of a grinch to send them out, so I figure why not.
Confession: I think I might talk to my doctor about antidepressants. My mood and energy levels have been so low for months now and my efforts to exercise regularly, sleep adequately, and think positively are just not helping. Ugh.

I do this - I can't remember who I sent what to. It doesn't matter. If they ask I will just tell the truth - they are leftover. If people get upset over a repeat card, they need to get a life.

I have a cousin who sends out the exact same card EVERY YEAR. It looks like this:
It is now a running joke between my mom and I, but it definitely took more than 2 years of the same card for us to notice. We have to be > 5 years in a row by now I think, possibly as many as 10. They recently moved halfway across the country, and we joked about whether they took the Costco sized box of angel cards with them.
I also think we would notice less if it were not glittery. Glitter cards that shed are annoying and therefore memorable (in a bad way).
Oh Jesus. People are confessing to eating fruits and vegetables now?
I hope I never get to this point!
H and I are getting so bad with our dog in bed. She looks so cute when she cuddles between us. He wanted to have sex the other night but she looked too cute to kick out so we moved to the edge of the bed and let her stay where she was. That's the best I've got.

I had like $4k in cash on me after H sold his car. I drove straight to the bank to deposit it. That was very nervewracking LOL. I thought I was going to get carjacked or something.
Hugs, les. I wish I were there to take you out for a meal/drink. Talking to your doctor can't hurt and it's good that you're taking care of yourself. I hope things look up soon.
Thank you. I really appreciate that. I'm just tired of feeling this way, especially when I know I have an objectively good life (and many good friends like you!). Hopefully I can make a London trip happen next year and have a meal with you there.

And you're normally such a happy, smiley person so I can only imagine how strange it must feel to be down for so long. Go have that drink with scm1011 and I hope the doc can help once you get an appointment.
I would love to see you in London, you know you're welcome any time!
Thanks. I'm still outwardly happy and smiley, but I'm completely drained inside. It is really strange. Hopefully this is temporary.
I will let you know as soon as I can make travel plans!
Oh Jesus. People are confessing to eating fruits and vegetables now?
in my defense, I thought this was the randoms thread, lol
but I'm slightly embarrassed to have eaten the entire thing.
I once ate an entire pound of asparagus and felt the same way. Like, fruits and veggies are healthy, but excessive eating is always a little cringeworthy*
*** I eat excessively pretty regularly,and often NOT something healthy, so I should probably get over that, lol.
DH and I have decided that unless the IL's ask about our Christmas plans, we're not sharing what we have planned. We're hosted out after Thanksgiving and their antics.

I had no idea! Look at MM, teaching us new things.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
My sister is finally thinking about dumping her loser boyfriend that she moved all the way across the country for. She called me on Thanksgiving crying. After we got off the phone I was literally jumping with joy. Not that I ever want to see her hurt, but I felt a bit guilty for just how excited I was

I joined a meetup moms group several months ago. I am an introvert and not in a great place in my personal life, so this was way out of my comfort zone. I try to participate weekly and went to a breakfast this morning. But I still feel awkward being there and haven't really clicked with anyone. All of the moms have been perfectly nice and I do sit and make polite conversation about our kids, but part of me wants to quit. I won't because I know that I need some adult interaction being a SAHM and I think my DS2 needs the socialization. Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult?
I have a lot... I've worked roughly a month & have never gotten paid. In fact no mention of paying me/hours since my interview. I think she thinks we are bardering but I'm way on the loosing end of that. If we are bardering then I should be working 3-4hours a week, not 20.
My DD4 is almost 2 & still largely unpleasant to be around. I love her but she's sealed the deal on having any more children. She is a level 5 clinger & tyrant and I'm loosing my mind.
I bought a gym membership so I could drop DD4 off & train enough to run a stupid 5k with my 10yr old this Spring. DD4 unsurprisingly freaks out & won't stop crying at the gym daycare. So I'm going to give up because I've tried many times with same result.
Last one on DD4 but she "asks" to BF every 10min it seems & cries when I won't let her. It's damaging our relationship but she's so stubborn & relentless & won't just give it up. I don't want to BF anymore.
Confession: I think I might talk to my doctor about antidepressants. My mood and energy levels have been so low for months now and my efforts to exercise regularly, sleep adequately, and think positively are just not helping. Ugh.
Make sure they run tests first for vitamin deficiency and thyroid issues first. Just in case.

I feel like to make friends you just have to pick someone and decide she is going to be your friend. Then back off and try again with someone else if it doesn't work.

I had a comprehensive metabolic and hematologic panel a couple weeks ago. All of my results were within the normal ranges, although TSH was on the lower end of that range. I will ask her about it, though.
I bought a gym membership so I could drop DD4 off & train enough to run a stupid 5k with my 10yr old this Spring. DD4 unsurprisingly freaks out & won't stop crying at the gym daycare. So I'm going to give up because I've tried many times with same result.
I was so close to joining a gym a few months ago. I had a 4 day trail membership and everything. I was highly motivated to get in shape. But my DS2, who just turned 2, is the same way. He is super clingy and loses his mind if I try to leave him. So I gave up on the idea of gym daycare before I even got started. Is it just the age? Am I destined to be fat for another year? Does anyone have a solution?
