I don't know. I thought she would have a few years before she had hot dogs. Lol. Because they're gross but also delicious.

She will soon be entering the phase where she wants nothing to do with any kind of meat at all, and you'll be ECSTATIC when she eats a hot dog. DS2 is going through that now (DS1 did too around 16 months) - he won't eat chicken, ham, beef, nada. But he will eat a hot dog. Pink sludge, nitrates, I don't care, it's protein!

The only meat B will eat is processed/cured pork products. She's pretty accepting of all of them though. Doesn't matter if it's salami, proscuitto, hot dog, Virginia ham, breakfast sausage, bacon, pork floss, the mystery meat known in Asia as "luncheon meat," she is all over it. But chicken or beef in any form? Or just normal pork? No way.

I don't know left from right. On more than one occasion I got mad at DH because i told him to turn one way and he went the opposite of what I wanted. I have to make my hand into the L to know left. I need an intervention.

For the longest time I had to remember which hand I placed over my heart during the pledge of allegiance to remind myself which was right. Then I went in the Navy, and had to remember port and starboard!

I'm so sick of studying for the bar exam that I keep wasting time by watching clips of Amy Schumer's show. And I only feel a liiiittle bit guilty about it.

I used Judge Judy as a study guide and I passed!

The Conrad Murray (Michael Jackson death) trial was going on while I was studying for boards during med school. I would watch it every day for an hour during my lunch break and got sucked in. It was seriously helpful as I never forgot anything about propofol and knew my anesthesia drugs!

Over the weekend, my H gave our 9 month old a whole hot dog. We were around a whole bunch of people and he already had it all cut up so I didn't want to make a scene, but I kinda hate that it happened. I'm not sure which part of this is flameful - that it happened or that I care. I feel dumb about something though.

ETA: she fucking loved it. Gone in like 5 minutes.

What? You fed your kid? Not flameful.

I have this same struggle. Sometimes instead of saying ledt or right when giving directions in the car, I will just say the name of the person on that side of the car.....but only with dh and close friends. :-)

Another fart confession.

I had one so bad last night IT WOKE MY HUSBAND UP.

He flew out of bed, tried to find air freshener, but settled on the Downy Wrinkle Releaser.

That is a great idea. No more hurt feelings.

I came home today telling myself that I was going to be a calm, loving parent tonight. It lasted about 20 min until my kid lost her Shit when I told her she couldn't take her paci out if the house to dinner. She's three! She screamed bloody murder the entire car ride. And then I got mad at her. I can't even keep it together for one night. Ugh

3 is a tough age. Don't be so hard on yourself.

We just had to go cold turkey on the paci. He paid for a new toy with it. Even then it was a rough week.

Port = four letters = left

That I could remember, but I could never actually tell if I were on the port or starboard side. Heh.

Taking the bar during the winter admission in an Olympics year meant that by the end of the bar exam I understood BOTH the crap I needed for the exam and the sport of Curling.

Annnd I've pretty much forgotten both ever since.

By the way, I had a sex date night fail.

After 50 Shades, we were talking about the casting and how bad Jamie Dornan was, and I said it must be the writing and his awful American accent, because he was so good in The Fall (in which he plays a serial killer, FYI). So then I showed him the first episode of The Fall, and we were both completely icked out and just went to bed. After double checking that every damn door and window was really locked.

When I realized that the serial killer from The Fall was the lead of 50 Shades, I laughed and laughed.

[frkls]

i forgot to pay the garbage collector, so i waited for my single neighbor to go to work and then dropped three bags in his trash can so they'd get picked up.

Damn. Should've just stopped after 50 shades. I know my H was ready.
I was embarrassed halfway through and wanted to shut it off and H was like "NOOO!"

I buy the nitrate/preservative free versions to make myself feel better. They are easy and fast when you have a hungry melting down toddler. They are also easy to pack for daycare lunches as well and I have been able to find them in beef, pork, turkey, and chicken. Plus protein!

[killercupcake]

I guess my confession is that I initially thought RexManningDay said she fed her dog a whole hot dog and I was like "Okay? Is that bad?"

Then I re-read and saw it was a baby and was all "Oh... are you not supposed to give 9 month olds hot dogs?"

Basically, I have no idea wtf I'm doing.

Our neighbors across the street did this to us, and I was surprised at how annoyed I was.  It's not really a big deal.  I think it's because I'm already irrationally angry that they have a pug named Michael.

So you all made me start watching the Fall.  Creepy, but slow....  And I still have to figure out what all the nonsense is with the corrupt cop ring and the couple who being counseled.  But I like it so far!

I think they still pick up even if you don't pay. Public health and all that. They just put a lien on the house. lol

Gap sent me two of the same tshirt I ordered for DD1 and only charged me for the one I ordered and I have zero plans to do anything about it. It was only about $7, so that helps ease me conscious!

The people who used to live at my house never changed their address on like everything. So I got 2 pairs of Abercrombie pants the other day. They are sitting in my dining room. I have no way to get ahold of these folks, the pants won't fit anyone in my family & I don't want to deal with them.

It's been over 2 years. I don't want your PANTS anymore Scott!!

He was also The Huntsman/Sheriff in the first season of Once Upon a Time. I feel bad because although 50 Shades raised his profile, it was not the best career decision.

That's where I'm at!

I'm sure you'll do great. If you don't love downtown, get a hotel room. Crossing all the things?

OMG I NEVER PUT THIS TOGETHER BEFORE. I loved him on OUAT. Adorable.

Right? He was the best. And then perfectly sexy/creepy in The Fall. And then he ruined it with 50 Shades!*


*I haven't actually seen that movie, so perhaps I'm being overly dramatic.

We had this work summer bbq thing today with food and drinks. I drank 5 beers. at lunch. at work.

Taco Bell is closed and I'm so sad.

No, he was really, really, really bad. And there's only so much you can blame the material.

His heart wasn't in it! lol Or at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. After all, it's not like OUAT is Shakespeare or anything, and he didn't suck at that.

I never caught this! I was sad they killed him off so early. I feel like there should be a TV rule that makes this impossible.

I thought the same thing and I kept scrolling thinking maybe the dog had some food sensitivities or something. Lol!!

FWIW, my kid loves hotdogs and I am OK with it. He is now experimenting with condiments and has discovered that he loves a hot dog smothered in relish AND ketchup. As long as he is willing to "try new things" I will keep making him hotdogs.

I'd be taking them to a Plato's Closet and get myself about $12!
