Gettin' down on Friday!

[Deleted]

It's Friday, ladies! What's happening in your area? Any fun weekend plans?



GTKY: What's your favorite brunch food?

[danitaec]

Googled "get down gif" and got this:

Poor Pete...

Anyway, leaving the moment the bell rings today to get my bebe so mom can get a haircut. Also having to drive my husband's big diesel truck because he took my car for an oil change; I feel like I'm driving a bus/18-wheeler.

Random question: I drive a Durango. On my insurance card it calls it a truck. I usually call it a car, but it's not really that either. What would you call it? SUV? It's not really made for off-road... I'm clearly thinking too hard about this.

[danitaec]

"Friday gif" is much better:

[dreemkin]

Hey I just refreshed bc I couldn't believe there wasn't a randoms post yet lol. My spam: $500 later the fireplace works and I love it! I still need to diddle around with the logs bc I'm not liking how the arrangement looks. But I'm definitely going to put it on again this morning.

Annie's appointment went well yesterday. She's so little compared to Norah at her age. I told my mom she was only in the 60 percentile for height and she said it's still above average. I said not for us (Norah was always off the charts; about the 99th percentile). But I could tell because Anna's behind in clothing sizes from where Nor was at this age. Poor Anna has mostly summer clothes to work with. Yay for layering though. Oh Annie and Norah's birthdays are only a month apart btw.

[danitaec]

I have two free periods on Friday mornings; can you tell?

[seamonster]

Applying for internal jobs here. I can write a cover letter for each one and probably should. Or maybe just for the ones I think I might actually want.

[johanna]

danitaec - I think SUVs are often classified as trucks because they are on a truck chassis. Don't quote me on that.

[danitaec]

My husband packed my "pump bag" today. I have 2 bottles, all the pumpy parts, and then also one lid and one bottle/nipple ring... Oops. Hoping it'll all fit in one bottle when I'm done.

LO's fighting her nap like a boss. I'm debating between taking a nap or hmm not sure. I'll probably just lie here in bed until I figure it out. It won't be something productive that much I know.

DD1 is off to grandmas house this weekend! That will be a nice little break from the crazy but DH and I have a lot of stuff to get done around the house with LO in tow.

I went into work for a visit this week with LO. The new office space is fully renovated so I wanted to see it. So basically they combined three separate work spaces into one giant cubicle farm...yeaaa. Just great.

[lilyelayne]

My friend who was supposed to come visit this weekend cancelled cause her husband has to work. Oh well. Maybe I'll get to catch up on my NaNovel instead.

danitaec I hate driving DH's truck, and it's not even a diesel. I would call a Durango an SUV.
dreemkin glad the appointment went well! I should probably sticky the 9 months stats thread, huh?
seamonster cover letters are a pain. At least you shouldn't have to tweak your resume too much for the different jobs?

Little Man slept HORRIBLY last night. He woke up at 2:30 screaming. I nursed him back to sleep. The moment I try to pull my boob out, he starts screaming again. We did this on repeat for a bit. Tried giving him three different pacis before he finally took one. But then he was restless for the rest of the night and kept waking up whimpering and crying. Then this morning, he only calmed down when I gave him his giraffe toy to chew on. And at daycare, he cried until I gave him his teething ring. Maybe my toothless wonder is finally getting teeth. Fingers crossed!

[kaydee0402]

Splitting posts to up my post count.

We have swim lessons tomorrow morning and then we're going to the big mall in the city to do some Christmas shopping with another couple. My husband and my friend's husband have decided to go see the new James Bond movie while we shop, which is just as well because they normally nag us the whole time anyways. I can't believe it's that time of year to start Christmas shopping already!

GTKY: My favorite brunch food is Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. Yum!

Sounds like teething to me! Good luck!

Same resume for them all as the system only allows one. I think each job allows additional uploads e.g. cover letter. But I hate cover letters.

FFC I'm bad about bragging about myself and my accomplishments. Review time is legitimately hard for me because I do a lot but can't word how great I am.

Teeth time! Hopefully those buggers come in fast.

[lilyelayne]

Oh I forgot the gtky! I'll say pancakes in general. Though my favorite breakfast food of all time is a boudin omelet from the Chimes in Baton Rouge. Followed by a boudin biscuit with mushroom gravy from Surrey's in NoLa.

Tried making a boudin biscuit at home once. It was fine but nothing special

[seamonster]

Fancy french toast for me. I do love a good breakfast burrito, but those are best for when you're regretting some of last night's decisions.

[kaydee0402]

Thanks lilyelayne and seamonster!

mishka29 Cubicle farm? Sounds horrible! Around here the trend is to turn every office into "activity offices" where noone has an assigned desk, so you get into work and just grab one that suits you. It sounds dreadful to me. Luckily my office only consists of 6 people so it would be daft to do something like that.

lilyelayne Sorry your friend cancelled! Did you schedule a new date?

kaydee0402 Sounds like teeth coming in! GL

I met my neighbour out in the yard last night, crying. She has a F15 baby too, and she was on her last nerve. LO had been screaming all day and was still at it at 8 pm. Plus, her cats were being assholes and had spread litter all over the appartment. So she just had to get out for some air and let her H deal with the baby for a while. I felt so sorry for her, and so helpless. I just listened and assured her that "it's just a phase" (my motto for everything these days...), but that doesn't help when you're right in the middle of it. I hope she got some sleep at least.

GTKY: I was gonna say waffles, but I'm gonna echo seamonster instead and say french toast.

[kaydee0402]

Thanks @alyllyra!

That's awful.  Is she someone you know well enough for a play date?  Possibly one with wine? 

[kartish]

I'm on a roll of ridiculous mornings. I'm done.

But it is snowing, the snow guns are blasting and I can't help but smile at that. Winter is here. I just hhpe I remember how to snowboard after taking a year off. Oh, and that my boots still fit.

My favorite is eggs Benedict, yum!

I've only known her since May, but I'd like to get to know her better. That's actually a great idea, I'm gonna talk to her and see if she's up for it. Thanks

kartish Snow!!! How wonderful! I'm totally jealous!

[dreemkin]

GTKY: My favorite brunch food would be lunch food. Not a big fan of breakfast. I'll take a burger or ribs with a diet pepsi at 10am.

ETA: I had a leftover rib and a La Croix for breakfast

[kartish]

@alyllyra it has been lightly snowing on and off since yesterday. Just enough to be pretty and stick to the trees and grass but not the roads. I'm loving it, even though my house is not ready for winter yet!

[dreemkin]

And one more thing, @alyllyra I have to say that regarding your opening gif: her cleavage scares me; it's so fake looking!

[Deleted]

dreemkin Now that you mention it... it scares me too!
