breezy8407 - I love that you appreciate it! People asked last year what I did on my birthday and they look at me like I'm nuts when I tell them I ran 10 miles outside and then just lazed around with the family. They just don't get that I love running.

My confession is that whenever I see pictures of little kids in the dryer, or some other potentially dangerous situation, I clutch my pearls. Not because I think the parents are putting them in a dangerous situation in the moment, but I worry that it sends the message to the kid that it is okay to play there, and something bad could happen if the parent doesn't happen to see it the next time the kid climbs in.
Driver's Ed taught me that people turning right have the right of way! LOL!
Mine taught FIFO and that if two arrive at the exact time, the driver on the left has the right of way. I think. It was 20 years ago, after all!
If I'm approaching a busy 4-way that's backed up, I usually just watch the pattern as I'm approaching first in line on my side. There's usually a you, now you, now you, now go pattern going on.
This is how we are taught. Person to the right. Now I know why all the college kids don't wait their turn. Well technically most people don't even stop at the 4 way stop anymore. Or red lights. I counted 7 cars that went through the red light while my side had green 7! They are lucky I wasn't the first because I may have gone through MY green light blasting my horn.

I realized last night that I don't know any cities in New Jersey. Like what is the big city across the river from New York. I feel like people just call it "Jersey" and that can't be right. That's like saying Milwaukee is all of Wisconsin and I don't even consider Milwaukee a part of Wisconsin.

Parallel parking is a talent of mine. I lived on a street that was a one way and you could only park on one side of the street (where the curb is on the drivers side, not the passenger side.)
We were out drinking one night and I was not the driver, however the girl who was driving could not parallel park her car. So, I ended up doing it for her a few sheets to the wind!
Finally a more flammable confession happens around here. Probably not the best drunken decision.

There is someone on the GF board who is desperately in search of the red velvet dress V wore for this past Christmas in the exact size I have it in. Unfortunately, I am a psycho who is keeping it for no reason at all. It will never get worn again. I could be selling it for good money. I am officially an idiot.

This is more of a UO, but despite the fact that I started that thread yesterday about things people tried to go into labor, I don't believe ANYTHING short of pitocin will put you in labor. If one of those things "worked" for you, it's because you were about to go into labor anyway.

That's because New Jersey doesn't matter.
Not cool, Campbell. We are in a fight. Im also in a fight with every single person that liked the comment.
I bought about 200 bags of candy this morning because A) I need them for E's goody bags, B) I need them for Easter baskets, C) I'm sick and miserable and D) I was depressed that E's music class was cancelled this morning.
I can't even begin to express how much candy I have eaten today. I legit feel ill from it. And I don't care - I'm going to eat more because I'm am emotional eater, goddamnit.

Does this include membrane stripping?
It does. I think maybe that membrane stripping could push you over the edge if you were already on that edge, meaning you were going to go into labor soon anyway. I had my membranes stripped twice and nada.

Last night I was thisclose to making an Etsy account to send SIL an anonymous message to point out the errors in her listing. Why am I letting this situation get under my skin??
I'm still irrationally pissed that Jack was sick on his daycare days. Wednesday and Thursday are the only days this week he was sick. Today he is pretty much back to his being himself. It was nice to have so much snuggle time with him but I really wanted some kid-free time.
Related to confession #2 ^ H and I haven't had sex since September. We moved into this house in October so late Sept/early Oct were super busy. And since we moved in Jack has been co-sleeping. H works nights and weekends so I never see him and when I do see him we can never be alone. I was so looking forward to having two days home alone with him this week. Sigh.

We found out we are getting a nice tax return. I will be disappointed if my husband does not decide that a chunk of that should go towards a fancy push present.
I'm ready for all the "my baby was the only gift I ever wanted" comments. That's right, I want a baby AND a sparkly present.

Dh causally mentioned several months ago that we should get a new washer with our tax refund and I am holding him to it! I'm excited!

I'll text him
The more pressure he feels to deliver, the better, lol.
