My cats have the uncanny ability to make their assholes be at perfect eye level to me way too often. I would be perfectly happy to never have them stick their buttholes in my face ever again (although I laugh manically when they do it to Mr. Haa).

lol, nope. I just didn't want to drop a ton of money on a fucking dress. Why would assume people that shop there want an extravagant wedding they can't afford when they are shopping at a budget store? That doesn't even make sense. But thanks for being a judgy bitch!

Me too! And I got tons of compliments from guests that it was the most gorgeous dress they'd seen from the weddings they went to that year. They were genuinely shocked when I told them I got it from DB on sale because it was *gasp* LAST SEASON!

Me too. I had put on some extra weight from the holidays but now I'm eating more, just more healthily too. I compared my 4 week "bump" pic to my 9 weeks one and I just look slightly more round. It just looks like I'm a little bloated.

Awww. Simpsons fan?

Ha! That was my first thought too!

Yeah I think we'd only have a week so it sounds like its not an option right now. I'll keep you in mind if we ever have the time/money. I'd really like to go one day!

Thanks for all the great tips and suggestions everyone! You've given me lots to think about. It will be hard to choose just one place!

I was in a similar situation with my boyfriend in college. He had started a new job and a girl who sat by him took a shine to him. We'd been together since high school and I think he enjoyed getting female attention again. Something rubbed me the wrong way about the girl and one day he had left his gmail open. He uses…

We've been to Cancun and saw Chicen Itza, which was great (if not super touristy) so it'd be really neat to see some of the less popular Mayan sites. I love that kind of stuff. Thanks!

Someone else mentioned Thailand. I hadn't really thought that would be within budget either but it seems like the biggest expense is the plane ticket and $30 a day is cheap! Belize definitely sounds right up our alley. Thank you!

Hmmm, never thought of doing a cruise before. I'd be a little worried about sea sickness since I've never been on that large of a boat.

I'm really lucky and have great dental insurance (as far as basic care goes it's 100% covered) but unfortunately Mr. Haa needed braces and his wisdom teeth, along with 4 other teeth pulled (small mouth). The braces alone were $6 grand and we ended up paying over $4000 will maxing out the orthodontia lifetime max on…

Yeah a few people have mentioned Australia is probably out of reach now but we do plan on making this an every few years tradition so maybe once we've all got grown up jobs we can swing it. I've gotten a lot of votes for Costa Rica, we'll definitely check it out. Thanks!

Mr. Haa usually sends me flowers at work. I find it sweet that he does it but it's not something I expect, want, or asked for. When we started dating in high school we had only been together for about a month and a half for our first Valentine's day. I thought he wasn't going to do anything but he surprised me with…

I've only puked twice thankfully (first time stomach bile in the shower) but I frequently feel nauseous and eating Ritz crackers usually does the trick. Letting my stomach get empty seems to cause problems for me. I hope your sickness lets up soon! I think it's just cruel when it lasts longer than the first trimester.

Yes it really does. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try those out. Saltines and ginger ale ain't cutting it.

So I had my second major bout of morning sickness today. And it. was. EPIC. First, I woke up and developed a migraine, complete with an aura. So I took some tylenol, laid down until the aura went away, and took a hot shower. My head was still throbbing but I made my way downstairs where Mr. Haa was researching cars…

Mr. Haa has already offered to take over grooming duties for me once I get to that point. I'm a little weary of allowing him near my genitals with a razor. But he does do a better job on his junk than I do so... Decisions, decisions.
