I don't really like dogs. Except "winter" dogs.

I'm a large dog lover. I will tolerate other dogs, but they really aren't my cup 'o tea....with the exception of corgis/bullies.  They are too cute!

I miss the first day's home from the hospital, the sleeplessness/exhaustion/unknowing/excitement/awe ... I want to go back.

Every stage has been fun and exciting but I'm kind of jealous of a couple of IRL friends that just popped out babies or are about to!


Then my brains give my ovaries a swift kick and i'm like, nahh I'm good right now lol.

After having a child already, I think the compulsion to plan an elaborate 1st birthday party is ridiculous. I did the Smash Cake photos, fancy cake, decorations with a theme, invitations, food planning, etc. all for DSs 1st birthday. Such a waste of time, money and energy. I plan on just doing a simple, family only, birthday for DD. She will get her 1st birthday pictures done though (no cake smash).

[liziz]

bullybutt, I'm totally with you! It's more about celebrating with family/close friends, and doesn't have to be an all out baby fest! We're keeping it simple, too!

[missilini]

DD is my first and most likely unless a crazy miracle happens my only kid and I want to do a huge over the top birthday celebration, pictures, smash cake, Hawaiian Luau, I want to do it all. My friends think I'm crazy and are constantly making comments about it. Why the hell does it matter what I do for my kid? Don't come to the party if you think it's dumb. Maybe if I could pop out a kid every other year I wouldn't be so into it, but I can't, so let me do what I want. My UO is I see nothing wrong with big over the top parties for babies.

@zerozeroone, I'm so glad I'm not alone in that feeling! I'm not a big party planner, and the more I think about doing something big for LO's first birthday, the more I dread it. I wish I could be that big over the top party planner, but I'm so not!

[dawnfire]

UO: If you're an adult, do not freaking run in the library. If you're a little kid, you shouldn't run but at least the reason is because you're a little kid.

We're not doing anything super fancy, but it will be big because DH's immediately family alone is 25+ people.

My UO: I don't like when the temperature get above 28 degrees...then it's too hot.

You're talking Celsius right?

[liziz]

My UO for the day is that I'm planning on getting DD a tool bench instead of a kitchen or playhouse when she's big enough. I'm so sick of gender stereotypes already!

[dawnfire]

@sharmon13, uhoh, I sense more UOs could come of this!

DS has a kitchen and loves it.

I am with you sistaaaa...


DD's first birthday is going to be over the fucking top. I enjoy party planning, making decorations, baking.. the whole shebang. I don't feel bad for going over the top and I don't expect anyone to feel bad for keeping things simple.


I've already started making giant light up circus marquee letters for Zoey's name. Give me all the party stuffs, balloon arches, smash cakes... give it to me!!!!!

DD's favorite toy is a hand me down Fisher Price light up tool bench, girls can build shit too!!!!

[Liv]

On the "gender stereotype thing", I hate that when Junie isn't wearing a bow or an expressly pink thing, people will call her "him".... even after I mention "her" or her name. I understand I'm asking for a little bit because I like mostly neutral colors on her, but come on people.

I'm really looking forward to getting her some play tools as well!

Yeah, we've had a kitchen forever. It's in DD's room now but it was originally a gift for DS1.

[bullybutt]

I dress DD in DSs handmedown clothes all the time. IDGAF

@iheartmyshiba, and @sharmon13, yes, I did mean Celsius, sorry, lol I don't know any of the US measurements

Lol I figured

[missilini]

I think 28F sounds pretty great. I love cold weather. Maybe it's because I grew up in Phoenix and now I'm stuck in Houston. Give me all the snow. ❄️

[bigrock74]

I am 150% on board for the legalization of marijuana.

[mamanorris]

Liv, people constantly call Lennon a girl. A lady at the park kept saying how cute "she" was, he was wearing a blue shirt with a tie. I always feel bad for their stupidity so I just go along with it. Lol
bigrock74, I'm with you on that! Give me weed over wine any night!

Amen! Just legalize it already. It's legal here medicinally but dispensaries are closed down all the time. It's really inconvenient for patients. I have a feeling if it was completely legal here that wouldn't happen as often.

Im dreading it getting legalized for medical use in my state.  I work in a field where I get asked daily about it, and I know it will be an argument when I tell someone no, I dont think it would be good for them. 

However, for personal use is totally fine. I just dont want to have to write a rx for it.

I don't know of any regular doctors that write prescriptions for medical marijuana. Everyone I know that has a prescription goes to a special doctor to get the prescription. The authorization is only good for so long depending on the condition (3 months, a year). Not saying regular offices don't do it but I don't actually know of any.

I work in a specialist office. In other states, my type of practice are the ones that write the med marijuana scripts. (Besides treatment for glaucoma, I dont do that). 

Everytime something is in the news about it, I'll get tons of questions. Currently my response is "it is illegal in the state of Maryland, except for research use. We are not a research facility, so I can't prescribe it". Then people argue about how it would be benefit them, or how they have tried and it is effective. I don't deny its effectiveness, but its not worth loosing my licence over. Its a never ending cycle. I actually got in an argument this week with a patient about it who said I was negligent for not helping her, when she knows it works.

Yikes. That would be annoying. 

I wouldn't have the patience for that kind of crap. I would probably have to smoke some so I was mellow enough not to freak out on anyone
