My bloat is crazy today. I'm sitting in my office with my button un-done on my pants.
MH just called me because one of our friends was crying because I want our dinner to be at 6 next Thursday. Apparently he has to work early the next morning. Unfortunately buddy, that's the only day you had available. Also unfortunately, even though you aren't working, I am. I don't get out until 4:30. There is no way I can be home, showered, with dinner ready any earlier than 6. It seems pretty logical to me. But even MH was wondering if I could bump it to 5:30. ((shrug))
Tell DH - OF COURSE you can do it at 5:30. DH will be responsible for all the cooking, cleaning, set up, etc, and you will just stroll in the door at 5:15, freshen up, and be ready to eat. Simple, right?

That's annoying. No way I'd be ready for company in 1 hr.

LOL I just texted that to MH, let's see what he says.
teraiin, that skill is the best take away from a 3-day negotiating class my prior company paid $5k for me to attend... the section was called "The Art of The Japanese No."
Apparently in Japanese culture, it's frowned upon to tell someone "no", so you give them alternatives that would work for you, but that they would (likely) never agree to. So either the other person arrives at the concept of "that's not going to work" on their own, or you get an outcome that you're okay with.

Best marriage advice ever.
My Japanese coworker does this all the time! It drives me crazy sometimes. But it really does work.

Today I am thankful for vacation! We leave in less than 2 weeks for our cruise (lol should be interesting with nausea...) and I can't wait to get some new stamps in my passport.
I just realized it was 12:30 not 2:30. I left 2 hours early for my appointment. Ugh. Guess I'm wandering around for a while. It's not worth waiting to go back home. I'd only be there for 20 minutes before having to leave again anyways.

Boo. Always always double check times.
Aww that stinks! I guess the bright side is at least you're early rather than late?

Is there shopping you can do nearby? Or a Barnes & Nobles you can hole up and read at? (Are there even any B&N left in the world?)

There's a B&N at the mall near me, but I'm not close to it today. Luckily I pass a Walmart and dollar store on my way. I'll probably waste some time there.
@led, you can loose quite a bit of time in a Dollar Tree. I'm always amazed. I go in looking for ONE specific thing, and end up having to go up every aisle to see what I could be buying for cheaper..
Just made an appointment at the obgyn clinic. Is it weird that I'll be 8 weeks and they still set me up for a "confirmation" appointment where I pee in a cup?
Your first appointment, regardless of how far along you are, will always be labeled a confirmation appointment.
Okay - she really made it sound on the phone like it was just an appointment to come in and take a pregnancy test to prove pregnancy before they did anything else. I guess I am just freaked because this was the appointment in April where my pregnancy test was barely visible and the overworked nurse rudely told me she didn't think I was pregnant. I truly think I have ptsd from this experience and was trying to prevent a do-over (hoping for ultrasound confirmation).

My doctor confirmed with an ultrasound, so maybe you'll get that?

Well, I made it to 7w0d and finally had my first bout of m/s. I thought I was going to be one of the lucky ones who never get sick this time around, but I still consider myself pretty lucky I made it this far!
Random: quick! I am going to buy a body pillow on my way home from work. I am hoping for something to wrap around for sleeping. Suggest! You have the amount of time it takes me to eat an enormous salad. Ready? Go!

Are you thinking like standard body pillow or a snoogle type pillow?

Not a clue. Do you have a preference?
I use an awesome huge stuffed dog thing with weighted legs and head. It's the best thing ever for cuddling. No idea about pillows. I think this early a cheap body pillow would work.
