Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

hey... thanks for the report on the mac & cheese.

so you're eating less, imo, because there's just not enough room to eat much. i remember eating much less because of that, too. so are you just not as hungry, or are you getting hungry again more quickly (because you aren't able to eat much)? might just have to switch to eating lots of snacks rather than meals. that part i honestly don't remember, but i think definitely eat if you're hungry, even if you just ate an hour ago.

We were talking about that today.. I was slowly waddling through the store, and we looked at each other and were like.. Yeah. Might be time to bust out a scooter. Maybe then I can keep up with everyone.

Word of advice...always check to make sure they are unplugged before taking off in them. Yep, another Dork Moment in my life.

i might take the boys to pizza for lunch wednesday. ds8 has one of those free mini-pizza coupons from the school that he's dying to use up. actually we usually get the mini for ds4, who can down the whole thing, and get a bigger one for ds8 and me to share.

its definitely because I dnt have the room. its weird, because in my previous pregnancies.. Even at 40 weeks I could still throw down a bunch of food. But I know I am bigger then I was full term with my other kids.. I dont have much of an appetite at all. I feel a little like I eat only because I have to. But then.. Sometimes I am starving. I woke up at 3 am just STARVING. But I can go all day without eating and be happy as a clam. SO not like me.

I was looking in the mirror today and I noticed my hips look smaller.. Maybe Ill come out of this super model skinny.

Good advice! I never would have thought of that!

Thanks to Bernice I have now managed to turn my free JC Penney gift cards into double the face value...

Purchase $25 item.
Use spend $25 get $10 off coupon.
Go to JCPSurvey.com, enter code from receipt and print 15% off coupon.
Delete cookies on computer so you can do it with each receipt.

SO....
$25 item
Less $10 coupon
Subtotal $15
Less 15% off of $15 (2.25)
$25 - $10 - $2.25 = $12.75 for a $25 item

Today I used 4 of the $10 coupons, then went back to the office to print off 4 of the 15% off for taking survey coupons. Tomorrow I will take in the 4 of the $10 coupons and 4 of the 15% off coupons, since they allow you to use the survey 15% coupons with other in-store coupons discounts. You do have to make each $25 purchase separate, but there are plenty of cash registers in the store.

So what does this all mean? It means that I will go to JC Penney 4 times over the next two days (on my lunch break and after work) and will turn my remaining $300 worth of gift cards into $600 worth of gift cards.

Me neither! At the last part of chemo I had to use one. Jumped on one in Target, took off and then heard a commotion behind me. Yep, I pulled the plug right out of the outlet on the post where it was charging. The security guard came running and we were both cracking up. They are not supposed to leave them plugged in during the day, but I guess they often forget or battery runs low during the day. I didn't even pay attention just hopped on, of course everybody was hopping over my dragging cord!

During the holidays it's very hard to find one sometimes. Every once in a while I would just have to wait for one to be returned.

Hopefully everything will be ok. I had a friend from high school that had twin babies at 29 weeks, they were in the hospital for quite a while. But ultimately they both turned out very healthy. One did have a slight loss of hearing in one ear because of antibiotics, but other than that no issues.

Its looking okay so far. Geesh. Its just so soon, you know?

Hey Pix!

 

[eatmypixiedust]

I just wronte my mom an e-mail. She was really upset by something my mean aunt had said to her

 

[sameyeyam]

Hiya Pix!

Brrrrrr....just went outside to see what was going on with the satellite dish. For the past few evenings our tv keeps going down and it seems to be searching for a satellite signal. It was covered with spider webs, so I'm hoping that was all it was. Called and they are going to send out a technician on Wednesday.

 

[tinkermell]

i know you did, i saw your post! i'm soooo ready to see it!!!

i admit i am a little afraid this trip. what if i really like it so that i always want to come back at this time of year? we hate crowds, we prefer quieter times of year (and cheaper, too!) am i going to HAVE to come back every december after this???

Alex, Besides being there for the Candlelight Processional, the crowds should be light. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy lighter than at Halloween time in my opinion. I don't think I will ever go again during that time. The closer you get to Christmas, the crazier it will get. But even if I had just one time to be at DL, and it was the busiest day of the year, I would still choose the
Christmas season. That is how special it is then. Of course that is just my opinion.

Now for you and Megan. I forgot to ask if the boys liked the Playmobile stuff? I hope so, cuz I just finished wrapping it up.

My parents have to go on a business trip and will not be able to spend Thanksgiving with us. My mom is sad and she and my dad would love to be here if they could. They need to visit a customer along with our overseas office.

My aunt gives my mom a hard time. She says things to my little sister like: "Oh your parents don't care about you. They are always travelling and they never take care of you." She says stupid comments like this to my mom. She wouldn't dare say it to my dad. My little sister never listens to my aunt and argues back (this is her way of defending my parents). It's just ridiculous and wrong. My mom asked my aunt if she thought they were going on a vacation because it was for business and they need to go.

Hi Melody! How was the mall? Oi, you guys are making me want to go to DL even more than I already want to. I'm going to try to go this weekend if possible.
