Friday confessions and randoms

[icedtea]

I'll work on a confession. In the meantime...

H got the dogs and cats new water bowls—these cycle through and are like fountains. I just caught my boy dog mesmerized by his bowl for way too long. He is not our brightest animal.

[icedtea]

I just had a terrible fear I was wrong about it being Friday, since I've felt tricked all week. But technology assures me it is. Thank the gods.

[BabyStandish]

Yay Friday!!!

How is vanilla greek yogurt so delicious, and plain greek yogurt so gross? Mysteries of the universe.

[sleepymonkey]

icedtea, I have heard that putting fruit in plain Greek yogurt makes it taste good. People lie. It's still gross.

[icedtea]

sleepymonkey, YES! I tried raspberries. I could eat the yogurt that coated the fruit, barely, but not the rest. #frenchvanillaforlyfe

[sleepymonkey]

It's my off Friday and I need to go grocery shopping but I also should try to take DD to the park to burn off some energy so she'll nap this afternoon. Of course all I really want to do today is lay on the couch.

[jennyelf]

I put jam in my plain greek yogurt. Then it's yummy! Honey and granola are also good additions.

I don't have a confession yet, I'll work on one.

[icedtea]

Ooh honey would have been a good idea. I'll remember that for tomorrow. I still have a big tub of the stupid stuff left.

Haha. I buy plain yogurt and add a bit of honey or maple syrup to sweeten. Vanilla yogurt is a bit too sweet for me and plus my cat likes to lick my yogurt spoon and I don't let him have sugar.

FFFC: Co-sleeping is off the table for us only because the cats sleep between us under the covers and #seniority.

I'm aware that this will sound creepy, but I feel that we are cat soulmates.

Creepy cat soulmates, indeed.

icedtea I want those fountain water bowls for the dog/cats but I'm 90% sure it would scare my dog and he'd die of a heart attack and my asshole tabby would knock hers over. Why can't I have normal pets??

We're doing some errands today, I fully plan on telling H we're going out for lunch. I want Firehouse Subs but we also just got the first Jersey Mike's in the area so he wants to go there. These are serious adult decisions guise.

[chknma]

confession.....hmmm

+1 team honey for plain greek yogurt...I like to add in some blueberries or granola.

[icedtea]

Haha lupincat, you are not alone! I honestly don't know why we didn't realize it might scare them. Turning the fountain off for a day helped, though. They still get freaked when it makes a "glug" sound, and they jump back. I think of it as free entertainment.

I don't know if the cats have used theirs yet. H was nicer to them and moved their old bowl near the fountain to ease them in.

[lupincat]

Also, my mom has been on me about starting to save money to send the boys to a private school after the Devos nomination. I'm getting so aggravated.

Mom, I'm telling you now that H and I cannot afford to send at least 2 kids through private school. I'm concerned about the state of education too but I also like to think there are ways I can optimize my children's education while they're at home on weekends, evening, etc.

[BabyStandish]

+1 on not liking plain greek yogurt. Once in awhile I'll accidentally buy some. It's at least good for recipes.

I tried out some coconut milk "yogurt" recently and really liked it. I think Sprouts sells it in a big tub so I'll need to grab some.

[icedtea]

BabyStandish, there are some good non-dairy yogurts out there. I like Silk's soy ones too.

[txcatlady]

Vanilla yogurt is way better than plain!

I'm glad it's Friday, it's been a long week.

Good to hear since I have one of those in the fridge waiting for me to try.  

[BabyStandish]

It's a high 76 today so I guess I'll take DS to the park to burn off some energy.

[hpnegirl]

All the toddlers at daycare were like "ugh, I can't believe we're back here" Welcome to the real world, kids, where you get a day off due to X/Y/Z and then have to go back 😂

[PirateCat]

Ugh, so don't want to do any work today.

[icedtea]

Confession: I am super late getting out a Christmas present, and will be seeing that friend tonight. H apparently put the wrapping paper in the attic. I mentioned I could just go up in the attic to get it, the ladder would probably be fine. He is now coming home in time to get down for me. I never had any intention of getting on a ladder.

[PirateCat]

I realized that I make a lot of noise moving about at home, but I never make any noise at work. I probably don't make any noise if I'm home alone either.

[lastkiss]

DH slept on the couch last night because of my crappy sleep the night before. I hate kicking him out of bed but I sleep so much better when I'm alone.

[PirateCat]

FFFC: I only volunteered to drop something off for a client because 1) he's at a brewery and I want to buy beer for H and 2) they are across the street from the kid's consignment shop I want to check out.

Kid 2 (almost 16 months) woke up at 12:30 and was a BEAR. We brought him in bed with us about 1 a.m. and he tossed and freaking turned for 3 freaking hours. So I got basically no sleep. Luckily I only work a half day today so only an hour left, but then I have to go get my haircut....I have a love/hate relationship with haircuts. I only get one every 4 months or so because well, I just don't have any time, they're expensive and boring. Ha.
