Would people be interested in a fitness/health check in for the month? Like we just have on thread going for August and you can come in daily/weekly/whatever with your accomplishments of working out or eating or whatever?

I am definitely interested. I need to run more and I think this would help me.

I was just thinking about this!  We used to also do 30 day challenges,  such as this one !

Awesome! Do you want to start it? I suppose I can do it if you don't wanna

Yes!! I used to love the 30 day challenges!  They really helped make sure I at least did SOMETHING most days.

(A general health and wellness check in for the month would be great, too!)

Totally your call, I absolutely don't want to steal your thunder, just got excited by the mind twins I'm happy to start it if you don't have time, also happy to back you up.

Edit now that I have re-read,  do you want to kick off the monthly and I can do the 30 day challenge?

Good Morning! My alarm won't go off for another 30 minutes but I really should get up and ready for work.

I love when I wake up before my alarm and can just lounge around for a few minutes...even if I get up early anyway, a few extra minutes in the comfy bed awake, but before the world knows I am awake, can be so relaxing.

This might be a dumb question, but what's the difference between the two?

Feel free to start it. I probably won't have time until this afternoon.

Was thinking (to setup 1 August healthy living thread (as you suggested)  - or do the weekly that you have previously run?( which allows people to check in at their own pace,  and then a daily challenge thread?

I love the idea of being held accountable but I'm absolutely terrible at remembering to post!

I always wait for the alarm. I love when I can just lay in bed for a little bit longer!

[TheEleventhHour]

Oh and today is Monday for sure. Can't get videos to load so I can catch up on some Bachelorette and I have to go to the dentist this afternoon to get two cavities filled

[TheEleventhHour]

Plus side - got McD's for breakfast.

Starting the week off right with a sick day. I'm still working from home so it's only a sorta sick day.

[PirateCat]

@wallflwr926, boo, I hope you feel better soon!

[shopgirl24]

@samrs22, why is it unethical?

Hiiii

I am adulting really hard this morning since I called outta work for the second day in a row, I am sick but nothing interesting. So today I am taking care of medical stuff and money stuff for 2 hours. More or less not working for the next two weeks. Then working a TON the last two weeks in august. I need a better plan next year for summer break on how to make money. A friend suggested I do a mommy and me ASL class to make money and I thought that was an amazing idea, but I looked it up and its unethical in many ways so I can't do it, bummer.

I worked at a day camp in college, and quite a few of the other head counselors were teachers. Depending on the type of camp you work at you can make a ton in tips. I think I actually made more in tips than I got paid by the camp.

Any current baby wearers that could send me in the right direction for a gift? Both of DH's groomsmen are due with baby girls in the next 3 months. There is no registry/shower for the September baby, but DH was able to get that they want a "carrier for an older baby... without the headrest". WTF does that mean? I thought that most of the head/neck supports were removable and you used the carrier until the child was too heavy? I get the idea they are wanting something more structured, not a wrap, but I'll take an information I can get! Can anyone give me any suggestions? We can spend around $200.

I have this Lilebaby that I love.

It has 6 different positions, but we mostly use the front facing position the most since DS likes to see in front of him. The back carry is probably his 2nd fav. It fits from infancy-45lbs. DS is almost 19 months and still enjoys it.

Thank you! Do you have this mesh one? The couple lives in Vegas, so I am thinking the cooler, the better.

[rooskie]

My birthday is Sunday (eeeeek) so today my phone has been blowing up with emails for free stuff.

H's is Friday and I have not bought him anything yet, but we are getting a new laptop sometime this month and he primarily uses it, so really that counts, right?

[BabyStandish]

lgraceh yes, I have the mesh one. We live in TX so it was a must lol

Okay, I think I'll do the weekly check in.

My H's birthday is Friday, too. I am counting the deck as part of his birthday present, so...

I do not dread Mondays like I used to, at least! Yesterday, instead of being in the fetal position, crying from about 4pm on...I was happily watching TV and relaxing. It was a welcome change to say the least.

This is splendid

I simply cannot ever discourage someone from getting a milkshake.

I second this.

Plus french fries to dip into it.

I keep almost clicking on the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child discussion thread, and each time I stop myself just in time when I see the spoiler warning. I just am used to clicking on all the HP items!

Same. My copy needs to get here!

teraiin , I vote milkshake. I can never turn down a milkshake.

I have my RE appointment in two and half hours. Luckily I am very busy this morning so hopefully the morning doesn't drag. I am anxious to see what she says and see if we will be going forward or postponing until the beginning of next year.

Good luck!
