UO: Decorating for any holiday is overrated. It seems a huge waste of time and money, this includes Christmas.
So much this. My MIL keeps giving me decorations, because she thinks I don't decorate because I don't have any decorations. I just don't like to decorate.
Well he can and he does, I just like to do things that benefit the both of us (or just him, because I also very much enjoy doing things for my husband) while he would be perfectly happy to do things for me all of the time. So Valentine's day gives him an "excuse" to do something for me. I was making this comment exclusively regarding our relationship, not trying to comment on or judge anyone else's. I was also being very lighthearted in the whole statement.
Maybe the fact that is was juxtaposed with the comment akraus2015 made is what is confusing... I was agreeing with her original statement as my own stance and then adding that my husband would not like that. That confusion might be my own doing then because I was not as clear as I should have been in my original comment.
I also might be a little confused about what it is exactly you are upset about, sorry.
I'm not upset! Your post just sounded super braggy & I was poking fun at it. I'm not sure what you're getting so defensive about?
I'm sorry! Like I said, confused... it seemed like you were put off by what I said and I felt bad. I really wasn't trying to be braggy and I did sort of think I came across that way which wasn't what I was meaning to do. I think I am a little extra sensitive too at the moment and I was just trying to explain myself further. Which maybe wasn't necessary. I am batting zero here lately guys. So sorry.
Going on the holiday theme, I too hate Valentine's Day. My UO is that I hate Halloween too. Least favorite holiday, by far.
How can you hate Halloween?! You get to dress up and be creative, eat tons of candy, and you can find the coolest decorations for your house. It is by far my favorite holiday.
I'm gonna really outcast myself here: I don't celebrate Halloween either. MH convinced me to hand out candy, but as a kid I stopped trick or treating at like 6 or 7, and my family would go out to eat to avoid trick or treaters. I just don't see the appeal in celebrating it as an adult. I know I'm definitely in the minority here. My whole office goes CRAZY for Halloween.
Random UO: I hate leather car seats. They are either freezing or 1000 degrees and when you wear shorts your legs stick to them.
Really? I have never had this problem with my leather. But it is beige not black, maybe that helps. Also different car manufacturers have different leather. I hate the BMW leather, but the Infinity and VW leather is good. Lexus leather is the best though.
This whole post made me LOL. I didn't realize there were so many different types of leathers.
We can do the same thing to our dog, he'd be sitting in our lap and the other one say "Mommy/Daddy's home" and he'll jump out of our lap and run to the door. He's a little special lol.
Aw, poor guy, lol.
I know lol. He's a Jack Russell so he's spastic as it is already, and when MH gets to playing with him he becomes my little crack baby lol.

UO: I really don't like summer time. Yes, I am FREEZING right now in the winter. But I just don't like wearing shorts and sandals, and I don't like "summer colors" for clothes and such. Almost my whole closet is sweaters in neutral colors. #boring

I also hate being called my dog's mom. Some people like that, and I don't care how they refer to themselves, but it makes me ragey when they do it to me. It's irrational.
I also feel ragey when the doctors on TV don't bother with their pregnant patient's name and just call her "mom". First doctor that does that to me will probably get a lecture.

I wear mostly dark clothing year 'round. I don't care if the colors are seasonally "appropriate". I like wearing dark clothes so that's what I wear!! Dark blue, black, and dark grey are my preferred options.

Wow I'm with you Rissca, I didn't either. But samanthasays nope color is not it. I've had beige leather that my legs would stick to all the time.

From a convo the other day, I don't really get the Kanye hate. I think he is misunderstood at best. Sure, he can be a douchbag, but he does have the talent to back it up. I also don't think he should assume that Beyonce should win all the awards, because no, but I can't bring myself to hate him. He's entertaining.
This partly has to do with how adorable I thought he was on Ellen a couple weeks ago. He seems like a big softy deep down. LOL, I didn't know I had so many feels about this man.

This makes me sad.
We go all out with decorating and have had people stop their car as they are driving by to let their kids trick or treat at our house.
damn that sounds good waffles ! My dh doesn't like tomato sauce often so I order him pizza with no sauce/regular toppings; he's semi-broken I guess because he also doesn't care for white sauce pizzas. Good thing we order 2 or 3 pies!
I don't care for Valentine's Day. I don't have a problem with others celebrating it, I just typically do not.
My mom decorates crazily for every holiday and I have been given many items now housed/crammed in closets bc I just don't care to put out stuff every month but I love going to her house and seeing all the "stuff".
yikes to ketchup on macncheese or a grilled cheese
my UO I prefer mayo/horseradish sauce or mustard or hotsauce on fries than ketchup
My UO is Facebook related, but I am over the monthly baby shots. The first 12 months can be cute, but seriously, 16 months? I can't wait until they have 35 month pictures. Which reminds me that my cousin tells people her daughters age in months still. She's almost 4.
I agree with you there. Why can't you just say your kid is about a year and a half?
Seems much easier than trying to figure out the months.
FYI, I have been alive for 363 months. I might have to say that from now on:)

Being talented does not make it acceptable for you to be a massive douchebag. Do you not get how far reaching his insult was to other artists?

And B is not an artist. She's the talent.
I know he is a douchebag, for sure. I am curious why he thinks that Beyonce is the greatest artist. Does it have to do with Jay-Z? I haven't heard Becks new album, but I love his older stuff.

The reason a lot of people use months when referring to their kid's age is because clothing sizes are based on months until you hit 2T. Plus, a 14 month old is quite different, developmentally, than a 20 month old. Using months before 2 is okay for me. After that, you're weird.

Oh I agree, it's when you are still using them while your little one is in preschool that it gets excessive. Like my cousin.
July 2013 started TTC 7/20/2014=BFP; CP confirmed 8/1/2014 Dec 2014: Diagnosis = Unexplained IF 12/24/2014 Medicated TI (clomid)=BFN 1/22/2015: IUI #1 cancelled due to cyst 02/17/2015: IUI #2 cancelled due to another cyst 3/31/2015: IUI with Femera, 1 good follie, great sperm count = CP, my December Rainbow became an Angel
My UO is why the fake eyelashes everyday???..especially when working in the food industry! SMH
Pretty sure this is not allowed. I could not even wear stud earrings in my kitchen because of the loss risk. I can't imagine false eyelashes would be an exception.
My local jamba juice..young lady with big fat falsies!!

On this topic, I can't get fake eyelashes on myself that don't look freakish. I am jealous of women who can do this at home and make it look nice. I wish I could do this for special occasions. I got them done for my wedding and I loved them!
I wear them only when I'm going somewhere special. I buy them at the drugstore for about $6 and they actually work!
