My midwives told me that I have two options for the glucose test, should I choose to take it. They can either make me a strawberry smoothie or we can go to brunch. Brunch is the test. I think I love them.

FFMC: I'm one of those "book" people mynameiscarrie hates. I try not to rub it in anyone's face, but I certainly enjoy clarifying things for my friends and family who watch the show but haven't read the books, like H.
I posted on my BIL's GF's Facebook last night because she posted something, and I included a fan theory that might make her feel better. Then people started bitching her out because spoilers. I told them hey, this is a highly talked-about show, why would you go on the internet right after it aired? Of course people are going to spoil it, either on purpose or in this girl's case, by accident. She wasn't trying to ruin anything for anyone and they jumped all over her.
Another FFMC: I don't care if people "spoil" movies or books for me. I'm probably still going to watch or read it, anyway.

I just stepped on a scale. Why did I do that? At least it was a scale at the gym? I wish I could say that this makes the 15 pounds I've gained in 18 weeks better, but no. Last 2 I only gained 25 total, but this seems unlikely at this rate. GDI old body.

I want your test. I hate super sugary things. I don't even like sno-cone syrup. I just get ice. I will definitely ask about my options, but I doubt I'll have any other than orange or grape. Shudder. I hate both.

I agree with this part. Maybe not RIGHT after the show, but if it's been a couple of days, come on now. I had one friend post RIGHT at the end "OMG, I can't believe [insert what happened here]." That's a dick move for people who maybe hadn't gotten there yet or were recording it or something. BUT I do agree not to go on Buzzfeed or whatever. It's gonna be talked about. And if it's been 48 hours, GTF over it. You had time.
I'm good with clarification. If I don't remember something and someone were to say "In the books it's XYZ but in the show it was ABC," I think I'd be fine. Maybe the people on my newsfeed are just twats though, because it's a whole lot of "I read the books so I'm allowed to like it better than you and any opinion you have about the show is wrong because the show and the book are different."

That's just dumb. I like to hear theories of the people who didn't read the books. But in some cases, I do feel like they are missing vital information. Doesn't mean I don't like to discuss it or think their opinions don't matter though.

It's a TV show. People get way too up in arms about these things imo. I love GoT, possibly more than any other show I've ever watched. But hell, it's just a show. People are allowed to have opinions on the show, the book, the book and the show, whatever. No one at this point knows what's going to happen.

I will literally die if my only option is grape flavor. Even pre-pregnancy, I couldn't even stand the smell of grape-flavored things. I'm having anxiety thinking about this possibility.

I forgot my phone charger. I'm at work. My phone is down to 65%. I have 6 hours of work left. I'm panicking.
Go to Cellular and turn on all apps you don't use all the time. It helps keep my phone battery lasting longer during the day. Also, some social media apps suck battery life. I uninstalled them and use browser instead to access them. Same shit and it doesn't kill battery.
Do you get connect to the wifi at work? If not, having the wifi on while not connected can deplete your battery too.
Ok, tried all of that. Mostly I just want to listen to my audiobook. I'm on desktop for TCF, so that's not sucking it out. I'm also texting. It's at 57% now. Hopefully I'll be able to borrow a charger for a bit later.

Brunch is an option? In what kind of fairytale world do you live
