Oh, yes--in person, at Uwajimaya! The thing with the Ghibli licensed plushes and other toys is they're generally very expensive, but it looks like those prices are softening a bit. There are also Catbus slippers.

It's my DD's b-day today DH is OOT until Wednesday I'm taking a break from social media.... can't you tell? Ha. This is the first time i've been on GBCN since Saturday - so, that's pretty impressive. DD is sleeping, and I'm off work for the week, so it's not like I'm neglecting anything.
Stingyshark Happy birthday to your DD! Cute pictures. I remember when you said she "her little ass has burned a hole in the Boppy lounger because she's in there so much."
My DH is like the worst gift giver of all time. I told him I wanted some boots from Target and he asked me to order them. Strike #1. I also want a new black fleece. I found two on Amazon and put them on my wish list. He complained because he bought me a North Face (like 4 years ago!) that's brown wool. It's a nice jacket, but what I'm asking for is completely different. Once he understood that (after asking me 6549807 questions about it, and complaining about how fleece pils up, and I should just get a weatherproof whatever like the one he has) he told me he was going to get me another North Face. I told him he could just order the Columbia fleece from Amazon, because I know he's going to go drop a ton of money at NF, and all I want is a $40 fleece that I don't care if it gets trashed in a year or so. He said if that's the case, I should just order it myself.

OMG. My almost 16 month old DS was supposed to have his 15M appointment this morning but we plum forgot. UGH now I have to reschedule and I don't wanna. I am sure we are going to get hit with a missed appointment fee too. waa.
I have pregnancy rage towards Carter's. All their Valentine's Day clothes are up now and I want to get a cute NB sleeper for the baby.
The girl stuff is all red and pink hearts, totally appropriate for the holiday. The boy stuff is covered in fucking mustaches. Since when do mustaches represent Valentine's Day? In fact, I feel like they represent the OPPOSITE of the holiday, as I would not be feeling loving and romantic towards my husband if he grew a damn handlebar mustache.
Also the "mommy's heart breaker" and "daddy's sweetheart" shit just compounds my rage.
I want a damn non-gender-specific sleeper with red fucking hearts on it. Is that too much to ask?
God fucking damnit. I am so angry. Our purchase agreement says "closing on January 2 or before if both parties agree" and it was signed by us and the seller. However, now the seller is saying they can't close before 2015 due to tax purposes and that they never agreed to before the 2nd. I am claiming that signing the paper agrees to before the 2nd if the paperwork is done. I know there isn't anything I can do about it but I am so fucking angry I am seeing red. We could have closed today.
This reminds me, catbus I bought " My Neighbor Totoro" for DS for Christmas! He has several books about a semi-imaginary panda, so I think he'll really like Totoro. I haven't seen it in years, I'm excited to own it!
OMG this is fabulous! My mom just texted me, "Can DS come and play with Grammie and PopPop tomorrow? We would like to take him shopping for his gift to you and Daddy and Baby Sister this year and every year just before Christmas. He can stay from 10am through dinner."
WOOHOO! I get a day to myself, go on a date with DH after he gets home from work, AND they'll be presents!?! FANTASTIC.
Daycare just called again, DD's eyes are not only red but kind of goopy now. They can't tell whether it's allergies or pinkeye, so they're not making me pick her up, but I've scheduled a pedi visit for tomorrow morning to find out.

Both parties agree doesn't have anything to do with paperwork does it?
I feel your pain. We could have closed a week early on our house. The seller had moved out but refused saying the cleaning serivce wasn't scheduled to come yet.
I'm being very bah-humbug about this Christmas. DD does not need anymore crap and our tree is so full that you can't get near it. We haven't even added our presents yet and it does not include the family we will see in person.
Please tell me that gift giving will slow down as she ages, yes?

Sorry. It gets worse. And the stuff gets bigger and more obnoxious.
But, the trade-off is that it'll be semi-worth it when she's older because she'll actually be able to unwrap gifts and be thrilled about them and then you at least have the joy of seeing your kid totally happy for awhile.
When they're infants, they DGAF and it's just more stuff to collect dust.
I have a name/nickname question but I can't really ask it without giving up the baby's name and I feel like I'll probably get negative responses to the nickname I want to use and then be butthurt. So I probably shouldn't ask it.
Uhm didn't read lol!
Anyways...@brie I am from a super Irish Catholic suburb of Boston where 1 in 3 Grandpa's are called Paddy. Therefore I say it's adorable & you should totally go with it!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
Just get the girl's stuff that looks gender-neutral-ish. Nordstrom's had this sleeper "girl's" section; it's 6-9m but I'm pretty sure they had it in newborn or at least 0-3.
Also, I haven't chimed in but I like your nickname choice.
I took the kids to Panera this morning after their dentist appt. I'm kind of ambivalent about how they list their calories everywhere. On the one hand, I like it for myself because it makes ordering easier but I don't really need to know that the kids just consumed about 440 calories each from a sugar cookie. Damn. I don't want to pass my food issues on to them but that is a lot of calories to eat in one cookie!
I know I'm hours behind, but the Panera by me recently took the calories off the menu. I just noticed it last week. I was wondering if it was just in my town or everywhere, I guess not everywhere (yet?).

kermit I'm so sorry. My cat was 16 when she passed as well, and I'd had her from a kitten. You're doing her a wonderful act of kindness, both by having a vet come to her and by sacrificing those few extra months you could have with her for her comfort. Big hugs.
I now think of you every time I watch Grimm! Seriously, it seems like everyone owns a gorgeous house there. I also am insane jealous of California posters but I might end up joining them some time in 2015.
