One more day until Friday! (Randoms)

serendipity731, yes, my left rib cage is tatted. I was worried the dress wouldn't cover it very much and I'd have to wear a nude dress underneath, but I think enough is covered that many won't notice. And thanks! I also hope you get to keep your job and that you and your mom can work things out.

You can barely see it, I'm just weird and super observant lol but, ouch! I hear that's one of the more tender spots, you're a stud!

Thanks, me too (to both). I'm sure it'll all blow over w/ her.

Well, the entire HOA board now knows I'm pregnant. I really hadn't planned to say anything, but one of my fellow directors is also my FB friend and since H announced our pregnancy last week she knew. One of the other directors overheard her say I looked like I was glowing (to which I responded "yea, glowing green...") and asked me. Figured there was no point in hiding it.

Now god help the first one of them who tries to fob off an argument I'm making on hormones.

pismoduo - I hope no one does that to you! I'll be pissed if anyone pushes off an argument as being hormonal!

The only one I'm really concerned about is the douchey general manager. But I'm 90% certain that no one else will let it fly, so it'll probably be fine. He and I have had a few go rounds about him being a douche and one time he started yelling at me and jumped out of his chair, but ultimately he's just a harmless douche.

Unrelated - how true is the whole "no sushi during pregnancy" thing? And how soon do I have to adhere to that? And like, does it only apply to the raw fish type?

I was so busy at work and then at home and now I am so tired
Just want to sleep all the time.

(I am so going to get a rep about my whining!) I swear I am fun.

It is all about bacteria exposure and inability to cook. Vegetarian sushi, or sushi with cooked fish poses zero risk unless the restaurant practices non-food safe practices like preparing fish and vegetables on the same cutting surface.

It's ok to go to bed at 8 right?

If it's wrong I don't want to be right.

cbrandt1 that dress looks amazing on you!!

It's 7:40 and it feels like it's 10. We're up in the mountains with MIL for the weekend and it's so quiet here that all you want to do is just sleep.

Thanks! I decided to play it safe and just eat the stuff with cooked shellfish.

Oh you look amazeballs! Flaunt it girl! Its all in how you carry yourself. You got it..conservative hair, makeup and jewerly will off set the look of the dress.

[cbrandt1]

WineNChocolate I was thinking neutral makeup with a nude, glossy lip. Diamond stud earrings. And a high sock bun. Oh and nude heels
