1. Happy birthday, hopemcg!! I hope you have a fantabulous day!

2. We went to one of those membership wholesale stores that scare the crap out of me yesterday. We had a temporary three month free membership that we activated to buy BBQ food last month. We decided to stock the house up with "pre-baby" stuff you don't want to run out of when you're feeling exhausted, like toilet paper and shampoo and beverages. We also now own the /largest/ bottle of laundry detergent I have ever seen. Dude, it's huge. I am so scared of those places.

3. Yesterday, Eryn and Amy invited us to their house for dinner. But they called at noon and I didn't check my phone until 6pm (oops), right after Jen had dumped charcoal into the grill. So instead they came to our place, but we have to make it to their place again soon. Whoops! We also played lots of 10 Days in Africa until I couldn't sit at the table anymore. Ow.

4. Remember that Van Halen song, "Right Now"? And the video that had lots of weird statements like, "Right now, you could be sleeping," or whatever? Well, if that video was my life at present, it would say, "Right now, you should be drinking a tasty beverage." Because I am so thirsty yet too lazy to go to the kitchen. Which I guess means my video should say, "Right now you are a really lazy bastard."

5. I missed lots of the last season of L&O:SVU because I kept falling asleep before 10. Last night I managed to catch two of last season's episodes that I missed. That was fun, because I'm tired of watching the same episodes 387983241134678 times. When Jodie and Pedro were here, we kept trying to see who could be the first person to guess the episode by the opening segment. That was when I realized I watch too much cable.

6. I have Bravo's "Gay Weddings" on DVD right now from Netflix. I hope it's good. I ended up returning my two Netflix movies unwatched (which I never do on principle) because I had had them since MARCH. Peace out, Netflix movies!

7. Right now, I'm going to get a tasty beverage. And maybe have some leftover pasta salad from last night. Mmmm, pasta salad.

Hee, hee. Right now I should be barfing up the doughnut I ate this morning for breakfast.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Awwh man, I have eaten so many doughnuts since getting knocked up. I can't call it a craving, because really, who doesn't like doughnuts? But it seems like I've given myself a License to Eat Crap. THAT'S going to suck when I clamp down.

We actually have a copy of Gay Weddings (recorded from Bravo). I enjoy it. It's a fun thing to watch, although you do get quite the plain-sight view of the financial disparity between gay couples and lesbian couples.

And heck - the guy who co-founded R Family Vacations with Rosie and Kelli is one of the people featured on the show (that'd be the lavish and wealthy wedding with the guys who have hearts of gold). Gay celebrities, ahoy!

Yeah, I can enjoy a little gay wedding fun, I think. But I hear you on the money bit. True story:

Jen and I entered this art festival once (Via Colori) where you make a big chalk picture on the street and people get to walk by and see all of the chalk art. So anyway we made a spoof of one of those Mastercard ads and it was about same-sex marriage... something like "wedding rings $X, honeymoon in san francisco $X, marrying the girl of her dreams..." or whatever. I don't even remember anymore.

But anyway, I think we picked a random number for the wedding rings, like maybe $600 or something, because we had bought and exchanged pretty cheap rings because we're pretty poor folks. And a nice male couple was enjoying our chalk art and then laughed. "$600? Must be lesbians!"

Of course, this was in Columbus, and Columbus has a lot of gay money... if you're male, and usually the stereotypical HRC male.

2. I went to Sam's and Costco in the same day with my dad to check out prices on diapers and baby wipes. We bought a box of like 700 baby wipes for $14 at Sam's. But the smallest diapers they had was 1-2. I won't join one of those places cuz i'll start buying crap in bulk that i really don't need, which doesn't really equal saving money. Besides, my dad is a member. :)

4. What's with the thirst? I feel like I'm dying all the time. All I want is ice and slurpees and big cold drinks.

that is all. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, those places are INSANE. And it's so tempting to buy all of that bulk crap, because you think, "Oh, three tubes of toothpaste, that's good!" And then you realize that it takes like two months to get through a tube of toothpaste, so then you're storing SIX MONTHS of toothpaste in your house. Why do you need six months of toothpaste? Scary.

We're doing cloth everything, which is nice because I would get a total neurosis trying to figure out where the biggest/best/cheapest boxes of diapers and wipes would be. I would be that person who would use $10 extra dollars in gas to save $2 on diapers. Or something. I don't need to be That Guy.

I have heard that craving ice is a sign of anemia. Isn't that weird? I don't crave ice, but I am a big drinker. Then again, I was a big drinker before, too - I just wasn't too lazy to refill my drink. ;)

my mom keeps asking me what good prices on diapers are. i have yet to actually figure that out. i just know that i've been told to expect to go through 20 a day with twins the first month or so!!!!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, at least. I've heard up to 12 per newborn per day at times. Because of course kids love to only poop in clean diapers. :)

As for a good price, yeah, I have no clue. That's why we bought ours in advance - we'll just be using money on laundry detergent and the water bill!

SCI FI

I feel like so much less of a freak now having done that with Star Trek episodes knowing you do it with Law and Order episodes. ;)

Well, I think doing it with Star Trek is much MORE freaky, but hey, that's just me. :) I still love you, though.

Here is my SCI FI icon just for you!
