Story of my life: forgotten enough to be ignored in BEC threads, but also forgotten enough to be ignored in lovey-dovey threads.
You mention this frequently. I like you. You are not crazy. I recognize that you've put an effort into being more visible. You add value to many posts.
However. There is nothing about you that is memorable. You don't have an annoying/memorable "thing" (examples: tamb and cats, wambam and CF/paleo-ish, scotty and ailments, stpete and one night stands (just kidding petey!), que? and the weed, frkls and boobs, Lucy and massive sweaters, etc).
Nor have you posted any memorable drama. You know?
Noodle - you can't be as tame as you're selling yourself to be. "
Scotty was upset that booby was poking fun at her medical issues and it was the day after she found out more bad news about herself medically. They both then gbgbcn'ed and Scotty just came back so booby was apologizing.
MIL came over today and scrubbed my toilets and mopped my bathroom floors. It's so nice to see them so shiny and clean! I love the smell of a clean bathroom.
I *almost* have all of our clothes sorted/put away. I just have a little left to do tonight. We have way too many clothes.
Oh and I haven't been on as much because I am on limited internet. Right now I am borrowing a hot spot from my cousin or on my phone.
I also have been feeling very disconnected from the board. I am in baby mode 100% of the time. I have spent the last 2+ years working on our house between offers/buying/renovations and everything. I finally feel like I can think about my baby. I totally get that needs to not be part of *this* board, but it will limit my posting more just because that is what my life is about atm.
So I'm not completely gone, and I still read and check in, just don't always post responses.
Guy at the car dealership SWEARS my car wont be done today and sends someone to pick me up to arrange a rental car for me to have tonight and tomorrow. I don't even make it back to the office before he calls to tell me he was wrong and my car was ready. If I turn the car in by 6 at the dealership, I can hopefully avoid fees. That makes SENSE considering that I only had the car for 30 minutes.
That's all fine and dandy.
I do as such and pick up my car.He then shuts my door after I get in. As I get ready to drive off, He taps on the window, opens the door, then tells me, "Let me know if anything else happens in advance so we can plan better." Nods at me like I'm 5 then shuts the door.
Yes, I'll let you know in ADVANCE when I plan on having my car break down. Obviously, I'm psychic and I know that stuff. I seriously wanted to punch this ass-clown in the face.
HoneySpider I know what you mean about pregnancy/baby overload. This is not at all directed to anyone in particular, but I just wish sometimes there would be more discussions about other things. I know some people have said they don't have anything else going On and I totally understand that! I don't have a lot going on right now other than work and difficulty TTC is the main thing I am focusing on mentally, but there is always room to talk about other things, like tv shows, current events, anything!
I think travelbug explained well how I have been feeling. IRL, at work, so the friends I interact with most frequently on a daily basis, all have kids, and that is literally all they talk about ever. It would be nice to have a break from that!
I Hope this doesn't offend anyone, because I don't mean it that way! And I do definitely want to hear big updates, and am also happy to hear vents/frustrations about TTC.

What happened with the internet situation? Did you get what you needed from going door to door?
bk1 I get where you're coming from. I feel like a one trick pony sometimes but it's been consuming my life for 10+ months. W rolled over on Saturday and I wanted to come share with everyone here because this board is close but then I didn't want to keep AWing W, especially the day after his 1 month post. I'm not connected enough with MMM yet to want to AW there.
Also I've been feeling guilty on social media because one of my good friends, who I posted about getting pregnant at 40 after 4 years of trying, lost her baby. I'm also probably a total asshole because I had a birth announcement addressed out to her and was torn between hurting her by sending it and hurting her by not including her and not sending one. So I sent it. Now I regret that decision. Ugh. Such an asshole.
I'm digging having my own office, but my phone doesn't work in it, which is severely cutting down on my GBCN time! Especially because my boss is on a cruise this week and this would be a great week to slack off
So instead I spent my day at work reading the Wikipedia page for "wrongful convictions in the United States". On a related note, I'm now firmly anti death penalty.
Also after my car died for the 5th time in eight months, we're finally buying me a new car! We're scheduled to pick it up on Thursday
We submitted all the info to the suddenlink city engineer. He sent it to his boss and told us to contact the boss. The boss was the regional manager. He surveyed and ran analysis and came up as it being too expensive but he didn't know about the petition. So we sent him that and he passed all his info to the state engineering manager guy with a recommendation of running the line. We are now waiting to hear back from the state guy. He was on vacation through holidays/new years so we emailed the regional guy last night to see of he had heard anything.
megkat Sorry about your old car but congrats on the new one! What kind are you getting? I'm iff to read that wiki page because I'm intrigued.
Thanks! It's an 08 Chevy Impala. Nothing exciting, but by far the nicest car I've ever driven. And it has heated seats, which I'm beyond excited about in this cold
And that page was super eye opening. I spent probably two hours this afternoon reading all of the stores, some of them are just totally unbelievable.

MrsAggie and bk1 I kinda feel similar. I want to be able to share things here because I consider you all friends, but I know I also have to be sensitive about it. And I completely understand, it's not at all like I want anyone to be "less sensitive" or something. I wish there was an easy middle ground for everyone but everyone is different! I admit I've gotten pretty lax about what I post here and need to be a little more aware that I've gone into complete baby mode, haha. I would love to talk about other things though! I'm just horrible at starting topics! I am looking for recommendations on something so maybe I will finally start that thread to show I can talk about other things
I know it's been said before, but I do like that we're all close enough and laid back enough to be able to bring it up when someone feels uncomfortable/upset/etc without really any hurt feelings. It's nice!
We had a great visit with my mom today. Good news is that her referral to the better treatment center came in finally. Bad news is that she can't get in until feb 17th. She is also in a ton of pain and discomfort from the fluid buildup again so will be calling tomorrow to speed up that process. This has been so hard on her...she's frustrated and angry (she never drank or did anything to cause this). Now that C is here it's that much harder for her because she just wants to be around to see him grow up but knows that's not possible.
So many hugs luv2rn4fun. I hope your mom is able to get in sooner. It's so good that you have been able to speed so much time with her lately. I'm sure she cherishes every minute with you and C.

Thank you ladies! I'm so thankful for the time I've had with my mom recently. It's been great enjoying my pregnancy with her and now seeing all the love and joy she has for C. It's just really hard seeing her in so much pain and being frustrated with the process. Also, she might decide to not do further treatment if the risk/reward isn't worthwhile. She has said that she doesn't want to have the fluid drained every two weeks...if she doesn't keep having it drained it will only decrease her time here. I support whatever she decides to do though...nothing she does, outside of a transplant, will cure this.
