Have you never seen Rapture Palooza?!?!?!  This needs to be remedied.

I just had to google it, it has a kind of amazing cast

It's amazing. I don't know why it didn't get more publicity. It's on Netflix. Go watch it.

I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I probably watch too much Netflix. But at least the things I watch are awesome.

I feel like I should be staying up late tonight since I don't have to wake up early for work tomorrow. But I am fading fast. Might have to wait until tomorrow to hit 2000 posts.

I never got banana medicine. We used to get pink "bubble gum" medicine as an antibiotic. It was delicious. My mom let me get the bubble gum liquid medicine well into my teen years (when I was definitely capable of swallowing pills) because it tasted so good.

I was all about the orange medicine, I would always ask for it whenever I didn't feel well. Headache, I wanted the Orange stuff. Paper cut? Give me the Orange medicine. I obviously didn't understand how medicine works 

Are you talking about the orange triaminic because that was my favorite! I never had any other meds growing up.

so now i did more maths and calculated how much my income would change if i were to go on mat leave for x long and y long, and the costs of a bebe and figured out how much spending $$ we'd have a month after everything is paid for. it was not a lot. so I am realizing that we either A) really do need to sell our house before we start actively TTC again or B) I can only take 6 weeks mat leave vs. a yea because thats how long my employer tops up for. or/and C) REEALLLLLYYYY need to buckle down on our mystery miscellaneous spending.


such fun drinking thread talk.

lol sorry

lol sorry

When we first got married my husband and I used an app tgat essentially worked as a check book but would sort everything into categories so you could see charts of your spending. It was super helpful and we could clearly see where we were over spending

I'm pretty sure ours is currently eating out, snacks and Timmy's, and baseball. But i should start keep track more explicitly. I think having cash would help too. if we just took out xDollars at the start of each week and said "this is out random shit money for the week. when it's gone, it's gone" type deal. its easy to loose track when everything is debit and all the bills are still getting paid. 

ok lol no more hijacking the drinking thread lol

Alright ladies, bedtime for me. It's been fun! Goodnight!

[lovetruly2015]

Well that was fun. Having a good time out at my moms when all of a sudden a firework goes off and explodes in all the wrong ways. My stepdad who was drunk decided to light one off by himself and put it down the wrong kind of tube...and then does it again not even 5 minutes later. My mom was pissed! !!! Seriously didn't even jnow he went off in the direction of the fireworks until they went off. And then capped the night off with a phone call from a friend saying that my 80+ year old grandmother was locked out of her house at 10:39 at night, and my father the only other person with a fucking key is in Canada with his new girlfriend and unreachable. She was able to break in before we could drive over there so she wasn't out side for long thankfully. Seriously it was a great day the last two hours though, fuck.
