Ketchup only belongs on two things: French fries and burgers. /gavel
+ scrambled eggs
Edited to add that I used to eat ketchup sandwiches as a child. Maybe I should have used that in a confessional post.
+ mashed potatoes (plain white, not sweet potato) - really not much different than on french fries (I didn't like gravy when I was younger. Everyone in my extended family would put out ketchup anytime there were mashed potatoes because of me. I only do it now if the potatoes are dry.)
I also used to eat ketchup sandwiches!! I can't believe I finally found someone else who did!
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.
Yes. This. Months up to 2. Then stop.
I don't even go to 2. After 18 months, I get lazy. I say about 1.5, and then almost 2. Now I just let Smudge tell people how old he is. He enjoys doing it, and that way I don't have to talk to people

It feels like a pop quiz in division tables when someone tells me their child is 31 months old. 12 goes in, remainder...oh, okay, 2 1/2...that was fun and unnecessary.

I couldn't watch Silver Linings Playbook because of her. I think she is fine and I don't hate her but her character was supposed to be a widow and Bradley Cooper is 38 why in the world did they have to hire a 21 year old actress? Seriously there are enough good actresses out there in their 30s who could have done a great job. So fucking ridiculous the way Hollywood pairs it's leading men with basically young girls.
Sorry this turned into a rant I couldn't help myself.
I LOVED her in that movie. Total lady crush. At least Bradley Cooper doesn't look creepy old. I didn't find the age-gap weird at all.
I agree with you. I am not her #1 fan or anything at all. That movie is amazing though! Loved it!!
What if the eyelashes are extensions? They wont be falling off. What if she is just blessed? A cashier at my grocery store is like this.
Yeah, I'd kill to have the money to blow for extensions. I'd totally wear fakes on a normal basis if I knew how to put them on properly.
Quick side bar on falsies, I actually have long eyelashes, #humblebrag, and my makeup artist for my wedding asked if I'd like some falsies as well. I said sure, but the final product looked like I had none at all. She didn't even utilize my real lashes. I was so pissed, but it was too late to change it.
UO: Decorating for any holiday is overrated. It seems a huge waste of time and money, this includes Christmas.
My small Christmas tree is still up. I hate putting it up and taking it down. DS makes it so hard to get anything done. I need to take it down! FWIW all other Christmas decor is down.
UO: I don't like the taste of water, especially tap water.
Maybe that isn't an UO. I dunno...
I have to force myself to drink water. I'm sure it's mostly in my head or me being spoiled by too many sugary sweet drinks. I'm getting better though since cutting out soda completely. People assure me that soon I'll enjoy the taste of water.
I don't like the taste either. I drink flavored sparkling water for that reason. I also drink a lot of tea.
All these ladies local to me are bitching about low gas prices because their husbands work in the industry and are getting laid off. I don't care.
I seriously want to explain to many of these people that the low gas prices aren't why their family member is being laid off. The fact that oil companies in general are assholes is.
Let's face it - moist oil companies could afford to keep paying their staff for quite a while even if prices dipped. They just don't want to.
And what about all the other people in the country who are hurting when gas prices go back up?

Bummer!!
FFTC: I was cheap and did my own wedding makeup, which looked amazing, EXCEPT I FORGOT MASCARA. No lash fail. Mine are stubby and tiny.

Mascara is number 1 for me. In hindsight I should have done my own hair and makeup, but you never know, especially since I couldn't get a trial done first.
moutonrouge & Lollipop I LOVE that my parents and ILs refer to my dog as the grand-something. She is my family and MH and I consider her our child. I love when people consider animals part of their family in this way. They are living beings with thoughts and feelings, capable of infinite love. I also don't see why the way anyone treats their pets/family members (as long as it's positive, not abusive) should matter at all to anyone else.
I get pissed when people feel the need to tell me dogs aren't people and it's not the same as having a kid. Yeah, I get it and I didn't give up on TTC a child in lieu of having a furbaby.
]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.
They will. Not your personal OB, but in any sort of hospital setting. You won't change it.
And if you're the parent of a child in a pediatric hospital, you might as well forget your name, because everyone from the 23-year-old med student to the 60-year-old senior attending will be addressing you as 'mom' 100% of the time.
Lollipop I will join you with the pets thing - I don't like it when people call me my dog's mom. I am not his mom. I am his owner. I do shower him with lots of attention because he's my buddy - he's very spoiled and lives a good life. But we're not in a mom-son relationship here.
I also dislike when people put the "I'm going to be a big brother/sister" sign on their dog for baby announcements.
You will probably dislike me one day then. Buffy is our baby. She knows what mommy and daddy means and runs to the appropriate person when the word is said. Do I think she is a human child? Of course not. But she is my baby girl and I love her dearly.
+1
I know they're not humans, but they're part of the family and for whatever reason it feels less weird to refer to my husband as "dad" when I'm telling the dogs to go find him or go bring something to him. They totally know which one of us is which.
And I'm not going to lie (although maybe this should be saved for tomorrow) - I would totally do the whole "big brother/sister" sign on my dogs for a pregnancy announcement.
You have obviously never had New England's Best Coffee. Their coffees are the shit and actually taste like the flavor. I usually have their Almond Joy or Kahlua flavor. I just wish they had a bigger K cup selection in the store.
I actually HAVE had New England's Best. That's what I used to (very occasionally) buy when I "liked" flavored coffee. I only ever liked Hazelnut...maybe French Vanilla on occasion. This was like, oh it's the weekend, let's have some yummy flavored coffee. Now I just can't even.
I do put flavors IN my coffee sometimes... like flavored coffee drinks, when that's what I want. Actual flavored beans, nope. Yuck. I think it's largely because I strongly prefer dark roasts and all flavors are light roast.
This I agree with. I like flavored coffee drinks (like a mocha, or caramel latte or whatever). And I think for me it's also because I like a strong dark roast in my coffee (as long as it's not bitter).
Hank too. If he's looking for dinner MH will tell him to "go ask mom" and he runs to me and gives me a FEED ME NOW! look. It's awesome.
And I fully intend on having Hank involved in any future pregnancy announcements. I think they're adorable when family pets are involved. They may not be human, but they're definitely family.
Jumping on this train of thought... When the boys hear my car pull into the garage, DH says mommy's home!! And they know to run to the garage door. He will sometimes even say this to them when I am not home because he thinks it's funny to watch them run to the door. He's mean.
That's so sweet! My pup will watch for my car coming down the street from between the blinds of our sliding glass doors and then meet me at the garage door after work

Possible follow-up UO: Ketchup is only good on burgers and fries.
It's sometimes the only way DS will eat food. Good old familiar Heinz ketchup on it. #pickyeaterproblems
My brother went through a phase like that as a kid. My parents figured as long as he was eating stuff, they didn't really care if he put ketchup on it. Green beans? Ketchup. Mashed potatoes? Ketchup.

We went through a lot of ketchup that year.
My nephew is still in that phase. He'll be 29 next month.

Am I the only one who just saw your SN and realized that it says Anus Tart? Have we discussed this in any fashion anywhere?

Ha! My H won't let me "dress" the dogs, so no shirts. But we'd totally do the sign thing, I think. And H keeps asking our JRT if she wants a tiny human to be her friend.
My UO is why the fake eyelashes everyday???..especially when working in the food industry! SMH
I know this has been touched, but... they could be real.
Anecdote: I have really long lashes and people have always assumed they were fake.
I also have very long lashes which lots of people assume are fake. When I was an aide at a nursing home I had one little old lady who always (and by always I mean every single time we came into contact, lol) asked me if they were real. Sometimes she would talk about me to the other little old ladies. She was so sweet and I really enjoyed her, her obsession with my eyelashes tho was pretty funny.
My SIL has really long eyelashes but she really over does them most days and wears super clumpy mascara. My mom always thought they were fake and I had to tell her they were real.

This really made me laugh. My brother had terrible allergies as a kid, and apparently ketchup exacerbated things and dried out his skin. He was hardly ever allowed to have it when we were younger.
He greatly overcompensates for that lost time now that he is an adult.
