Same. I dread the inevitable call that my former BFF was murdered by her psychopathic baby daddy.

SHE WAS? How did I miss this? Thank you so much for mentioning it!

Yeah, my dad emailed a Chicago reporter a few years ago because his girlfriend loved her hat. She responded with where she got it, and dad’s gf was thrilled to get it for Christmas.

So true. I had to pull over and hear from my mom on a cell phone that my dad had died suddenly of a heart attack at age 52. It was obviously awful, but looking back, I think it was worse for her than me. She tried to just tell me to come home, but I knew from her voice something terrible must have happened and made…

And a black-and-white cookie for dessert!

Great idea, I would never have thought of it. Thanks.

Thanks for reminding me about the candies. I need to try them!

Glad you’re feeling better. Pregnancy gives me super-smelling, and the odor of my husband’s beer is low-key torture right now. He miiiight want to stop drinking in front of me for a while.

The subtle mysteries of Kinja...

Oh yes, the itchies. I had them terribly with my last pregnancy. I found sleeping on the couch to be more comfy than bed. I feel your pain, sister!!

Also:

Yes, it surprised me, too. I mean, you know it will be hard, but you don’t KNOW.

Ugh, sorry about your leg. Maybe a combo of soreness and weird loose pregnancy joints. Hope it feels better pronto!

Almost there!!! You can have all the champagne pretty soon. Another poster mentioned drinking fancy rose champagne and I’m like slobbering at the thought.

Good luck!!!

Aw, shucks. Thanks :)

You got this.

You look black to me! (That didn’t sound right.)

Fucking insurance bullshit. I'm so sorry you're suffering. Tooth pain is awful. ((Hugs))

Yum, I’m pregnant and my mouth literally watered at the mention of your champagne. Savor a sip for me. Sounds like a fun night!
