Thursday UO/Randoms

[gingerspice2]

Let's get after it.

[gingerspice2]

I have a UO... I like commuting to work and I don't mind traffic. I love me some alone time with either the radio or an audio book. I especially like it in the afternoon after a shitty day at work-- I don't have to immediately pick up my kid and it gives me time to separate work and home.

I should note that I only go in to the office 3 days a week (work from home the other two) and I work atypical office hours of 6-2:30 so I usually miss rush hour on both ends. Our office also just moved and cut my commute down by 20 min in the AM and 30 min in the PM, so that is a major plus.

UO - I don't really care for Fall or look forward to it. It's cold, muddy and gross 90% of the time and pretty only about 10% of the time. I seem to get sick *every* single fall. I also hate being cold and the pretty leaves changing doesn't last as long as it should to be enjoyed. Fall basically sucks.

gingerspice2, that sounds heavenly.

I normally like my commute. It involves a lot of walking and then taking the metro. But while pregnant and in 90 degree heat, it's been the worst part of my days lately. I'm so excited for fall.

Posted mine before I saw yours, mosdub. Fall in my city is still quite warm, otherwise I'd join you in your UO. I hate being cold.

Good Morning Ladies. I've been up since 5am. I have about 45 minutes left in my commute to NJ.

[onesweetworld]

Also, I'm not texting and driving. I'm at a rest area because I thought I'd make it all the way down without having to get gas. Totally wrong.

gingerspice2 I have a super short commute but occasionally I have to drive 3 hrs each way for work and I really enjoy it. It's usually a pretty scenic drive and I blast music or listen to podcasts and get paid for the time. I hate driving in traffic though.

[PirateCat]

I love fall so much.

[mustloveerica]

I only drive about 10 minutes to work. Sometimes I ride my bike. I used to drive an hour and a half and it was killing me and making me miserable so we moved. No DH drives 45 minutes. Happy wife.....

20 minutes of my commute both coming and going are spent going 3 miles. The other 20 minutes are spent going the other 20 miles it takes to get into work. If I didn't have 20 minutes of stop and go, I'd love my commute too.

I love fall and pumpkin spice everything!!

+1. Last year for Christmas, MH got someone at DD to sell him the pumpkin syrup. I love him sometimes.

[mustloveerica]

UO: I hate pumpkin everything....pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin scented candles. Gross.

Fall is everything. Especially in New England.

I can't believe there's a May BMB now. We won't be the new kids for much longer :-)

[onesweetworld]

Well I'm in the right place for training. 40 minutes early. I really think a nap in my car is the best idea.

I feel like this BMB is so small. We need moar BFPs!

I'm waiting for at least one more IF lady to join us. I think she's waiting for betas before she comes over...

gingerspice2, fall in New England is the best!

I don't like showers or registries and don't intend to have either for the baby.

I only like pumpkin coffee. I'll pass on the rest.

[jellykat2]

I don't mind a commute, but sitting in traffic makes me want to pull my hair out.

I love fall. It's supposed to be in the low 70's this weekend and I can't wait. I'm also excited not to be huge pregnant in the summer again. I was way too hot and swollen with dd.

I love most things pumpkin. But it's gone too far when little Debbie's and Oreos start taking on pumpkin flavored.

I felt the same way with dd, but still ended up having one and was glad I did. I'm also very glad that traditionally there aren't showers for second babies.

You need to have one so I can come!

I think you should tell me who. Maybe I should just go lurk...

You can't make me! 

I threw a baby shower for my sister but made it clear she will not throw me one.

I like fall but don't look forward to it. Only cause winter follows it. I'd love it if winter wasn't a thing and we went right from fall to spring. I hate the cold, snow, ice, stomach virus season (big huge phobia of mine)... HATE winter and sad it ruins my excitement for fall lol

It's laurensc I don't want to tag her in case she's not ready.

I like baby showers and plan on having one or two. But I HATE baby shower/bridal shower games. There were no games at my bridal shower.
