WTF Wednesday/ GTKY COMBO!

[alioop1028]

Hi guys!

Sorry to take the WTF Wednesday this week @giamia923, but it seems like there are some new members on the board and it's been a bit slow on here. I was a noob when we all made the crossover and I would love to get to know everyone. Regulars, lurkers, fellow noobs, and everyone in between! I was a bit late into the game, so I'm not familiar with everyone but better late than never?

What is your WTF this fine Wednesday? And if you won the lottery what ridiculous thing/experience would you buy that you have always wanted?

[alioop1028]

WTF AF, stop making me eat pizza. That's all I want everyday is pizza. I have a problem.

And if I won the lottery I would go nuts on spa treatments and massages for like MONTHS. I feel like the world is a better place after a massage. It's too expensive for a penny pincher like me but if I had ALL the pennies I would totally do it.

[spacedcadet]

WTF daylight savings! I keep oversleeping (hitting the snooze button) and then I am running late every morning.

If I won the lottery I would probably do a lot of traveling. There are a lot of places that I would like to visit.

[alioop1028]

spacedcadet, @giamia923, +1 to daylight savings time. I really wish we didn't have to do it. I keep mentally noting what the "real" time is and it's making me a lil' angry. Lol

[cbear]

Wtf body! I must have slept all wrong last night my neck and back is killing me today. I'm getting old lol!

I would probably do an extravagant trip probably to stay in one of those huts over the water in Bora Bora!

[doglover31]

I'm happy to see this! The board has been sooo slow!

What is your WTF this fine Wednesday? I give WTF to the cold I woke up with this morning...sore throat and stuffy nose. We are set to leave tomorrow on vacation. I don't want to be sick while flying with a 6 month old!


And if you won the lottery what ridiculous thing/experience would you buy that you have always wanted? If I won the lottow I would spend a crazy amount of money on the most amazing vacation. And get a lot of pampering done-massages all the time etc.

OMG I hate it when that happens to me. It makes me feel old too. Lol

DST can fuck right off.

Hi ladies!

I am so fucking tired and I can't blame LO. He's been sleeping fine. Only waking up once or twice and falling right back asleep.

Wtf office? They moved around the office where we pump and took out the table so it's filles with filing cabinets and it is so uncomfortable. The pump is on a chair the bottles on top of a cabinet and ugh. I feel all over the place.

And wtf? How am i gaining weight if I am eating better! Stop this, body. Stahp!

But for winning wednesday, I got a sewing machine and can't wait to learn and do all sorts of cute stuff. Pinterest is like crack.

Gtky: I would definitely use it to travel. I hate being stuck in one place. I would move to a bunch of different countries every year or so. *SIGH*

Ooo! Jelly of your sewing machine! And Lol @ Pinterest crack. Hahaha
Post in randoms when you have a project done. I LOVE seeing other people's project so I can live vicariously through them. Haha

I have not changed the time in my car yet because I like to think that I am getting off of work an hour early every day.   It kind of backfires in the morning though.

Ditto about the DST, waking up in the mornings is hard right now.

WTF DH! We are remodeling our bathroom, so it is completely gutted right now. He just finished replacing the sub-flooring and as we were talking about lighting, I noticed that the hole for toilet (also will be replaced) is not plugged/covered with anything so of course I comment about it... but he does nothing. At 11:30 last night as I'm feeding E, I see a waterbug crawling around his PnP. WTF! Queue freakout. So LO actually had good timing and saved us both from snuggling with the nasty ass bug; however, what would have been a 15-20 minute feed took almost an hour. I made sure DH caught the dang thing otherwise I wouldn't have been able to go back to sleep. Ugh, why don't men just listen to us every now and then?

If I won the lottery, I would pay off our house and travel.

Ewwww to the bug!!! I would have have been flipping the eff out with you! I wish I was more logical when it came to bugs but I'm am such a wuss when something is crawling or buzzing. *shudder*

I wish that I was crafty.    I have tried a few pinterest things, but never with any success.  I second alioop1028, post any cute things that you come up with.

Booo. Ugh sorry about you being sick AND going on vacation. That really sucks.

When you get back from your vacay though, do you mind starting a thread on how traveling with LO went? I'm really curious about your experience because I'm about to go on vacation with LO too when she's 6 months. Would love to see what you did, what you loved and wish you did?

I will definitely let you know how it goes. We are flying from Florida to Seattle...so we have a long flight ahead of us!

alioop1028 lol well, last night I was about to kick the damn thing because I couldn't thread it... now I need to master the straight stitch
I'm really excited but at the same time i am so scared that i am going to be awful at it.

Lol!!! If I don't sew for a bit I get all turned around on the threading thing too. It's weird.
I'm sure you'll be awesome at it! For me, as long as I cut out my pattern right it's not too bad. But yeah I've had to start over a couple times here and there. haha

Woah! How long is that flight? 
Sending positive vibes that it's an easy flight! And you experience 0 jerks!

[alioop1028]

LOL anniebn! What was the look on your LO's face? hahaha
It's the worst when you see it in the corner of your eye and then spot it. I freeze up and then freak the eff out.

Hi ladies!

I'm with everyone else and wish I had a sewing machine too @adulruna! Last Christmas I sewed some fabric ornaments for my friends daughter and it took me an obscene amount of time by hand.

Wtf to myself for dragging today when it is a gorgeous 60 outside. Lo decided to take a nap midday and I lost my motivation.

Winning, I called work to tell them we were going to be late and my Mom told me not to bother coming in. That might have something to do with lo being a grumpy mess the last couple of days.

If I won the lottery I'd pay off my student loans and then design and build my dream home.

Woot to an unexpected day off! 

[doglover31]

alioop1028 we have two flights. The first one is an hour. The second one is almost 6 hours. Our flight leaves at 5 am so we are hoping DS will sleep a lot of the trip (wishful thinking).

That is a long flight. I hope he sleeps most of the flight for you too! And hopefully the break in between will help. Best of luck! Can't wait to hear about it when your back. Happy vacationing!

WTF MIL- you come over to spend time with your grandson, not take pictures of him, then admire the pictures you just took. You're missing all the cute when you spend the afternoon staring at your camera. LO was obviously trying to engage you and get your attention, and you just kept snapping photos.

GTKY-If I won the lottery, I would hire an interior designer to interiorly design my house. I love cute, well-decorated homes, but I absolutely have no talent to do it myself. Also the price of everything hurts my thrifty little heart.

[paddyb]

Hi, this seemed like as good a place as any to dive in and try to get involved with DD's BMB.

WTF self, why are you dragging lately? I need to figure out a way to get my concentration back at work...my morning coffee isn't cutting it lately.

If I won the lottery I would probably buy or build a new house. We have been talking about what we want to do with respect to kindergarten for my oldest (move or not) and I am torn, but I would be less so if I got to build the perfect house, or had the money to buy the perfect house in the perfect location.

That's so funny! I rarely ever hear about Grandma's getting all tech happy. Haha Sounded totally annoying though. My boss's kid was annoyed at his dad for being on the phone all the time so he flushed the phone down the toilet. Lol 

I love interior design things too and the shows! I always want to sign up for a house make over. Lol

Yay for jumping in! Are those pictures of your kiddos in your signature? If they are, they're so cute! If not, whose kids are those? Lol

I would love to build my own house! And boo to moving but sometimes you gotta. Hope it works out.

yep. those are mine.  We have a few years (DS is 2.5) but we have just started the talk about if we think the schools are ok, and if not, where we would move to.  

[alioop1028]

paddyb, aww cute kids!

Glad you're ahead of the game so you can plan where you want to be. And look for a place you'd be happy with instead of rushing to figure it out.

I'm such a type A planner and if I have to do something on the fly I think I would hyperventilate. I'm working on chilling out. Lol

[bonnesetter27]

Hi ladies can I jump in?
WTF state? How can a mom who hit her kid, and left two gouges on his face, be allowed back in the house? It frustrates me that we can't do more to help this family! And it breaks my heart everyday when I try to bring this kid out of his shell and every morning he is terrified of adults again.

If I won the lottery I'd probably do something boring like pay off student loans. Maybe I would splurge on a new car.

[alioop1028]

@lildiamondeyes, Good luck to your DH! I hope he gets it!
OMG bonnesetter27, WTH that's awful! I wish I could adopt all the babies.
@kait20122014, Are you me? Lol I would probably do all those things too but man a $150 spa when I have million sounds pretty amazing!

[judyblume14]

Winning - I accepted a new job! More money, less stress, better work/life balance, minimal disruption since it's a semi-internal move. Yay.
WTF - My current boss wants a 90 day transition. New manager will not accept this. Now HR has to step in and help them come to an agreement. This is incredibly awkward for me.
WTF - To our little family being sick since I went back to work / babe started daycare on December 1. What. the. F. we haven't had a full week where all 3 of us were healthy.

Lottery - Pay off my condo. Upgrade and furnish it beautifully. Rent it out cheap to a young family. Buy a baller house in a baller neighborhood with a baller pool (and pool boy), and a baller back yard (and landscape crew). Drop to part time. And like alioop1028, get ALL of the massages and spa treatments.


melw629, about the MIL and pictures.  My MIL does not do this, but i have a cute story. Hubs and I went to an alumni event at our college on Saturday and MIL was babysitting for us. I was showing a friend something on facebook and saw that my MIL had just posted her first "selfie" on FB... of her holding her sleeping grandbaby. Adorbs.

Welcome new peeps... and peeps that seem familiar to me from TB?

[alioop1028]

Congrats on the new position judyblume14! Yay! I know you were aiming for it for a little bit.
And LOL @ people fighting over you. You're just too awesome.

[designaddiction]

I'm horrible at getting on here during the week, better late than never, right?!

WTF - house, why can't you clean yourself? Not sure that really counts, but I still feel it!

Lottery - I would buy a personal shopper to totally revamp my wardrobe. I have no creativity when it comes to clothes. I just need someone to dress me.
