redrose85 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 ahahaha I can't believe I wrote "more easier"..eep. Can you tell I'm kind of tired today?? I want a lion statue a lot now!! My name should be bluehydrangea or something... I'm not actually a huge fan of roses, the scent, the upkeep, the thorns... Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm not a fan of roses either. Daises are my absolute favorite. Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Tried to find new work pants after work. Fail. I did get my hair cut though. Feels a bit better now. The lady who cut it was like “who on earth did this to your hair!?” I’m feeling pretty frumpy as a whole lately lol. I have put on some weight and hate all my clothes Oh I got mad at Alex because not only did he eat all the strudel (again!) he ate ALL the pizza. Out of two pizzas and 12 strudels this week, I got 2 strudels and 2 slices of pizza. Super lame. At least I missed out on the fat and calories I guess... He’s feeling pretty sick now (dur) Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Really missing having a gym to go to. I’ve been doing some stuff in the living room, and going for walks at lunch and on the weekends, but not the same at all. I’m just not sure which gym to go with. Locations are kind of weird.

redrose85 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I am going to a "baking with booze" class tonight (last minute drop-outs) and my sweet husband is setting up my brand new computer he got me for Christmas Life is good. Link to comment
BigKK Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I am going to a "baking with booze" class tonight (last minute drop-outs) and my sweet husband is setting up my brand new computer he got me for Christmas Life is good. Is it a class to teach you how to incorporate some rum or Kahlua into your cupcakes or do you just get loaded and make deliciousness? Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 We're making a variety of holiday goodies with booze. Cocktails and snacks will be involved, but I will not be drinking since I will be driving home in the slippery darkness. Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 So last night I learned how to make the best rum balls ever, toffee chocolate salted shortbread, bourbon butter tarts, mulled wine, and homemade baileys. My Mom in law is definitely getting some of her own homemade baileys and I think we shall have to bake some shortbread while she is here. The mulled wine was so good. I can't wait to make it. I'm using my new computer. It's a very nice fancy-pants computer that Alex configured and chose just for me (8 GB ram for pics and multimedia woot!) I am just having a little bit of a tough time with the Windows 8 and with this uber sensitive touchpad. He thinks we should get a mouse for it because if you look at it the wrong way, it closes your window lol. Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 It's really nice to know that Alex wants a child as much as I do. Deep down I was scared he was going to back out, but he told me yesterday he's been waiting for ME to be ready. I guess he's been reading too much into things I say.. wanting to make sure our finances can handle mat leave, knowing how hard my job is going to be if I am sick a lot, etc... We also agreed that we don't want to know the sex when I'm pregnant. Link to comment
hers Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Are you wanting to torture me???? Oh man I'm gonna have to know! Spay and neuter your pets! Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die! Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Are you wanting to torture me???? Oh man I'm gonna have to know! Spay and neuter your pets! Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die! LOL... somehow I think you'll survive. I've pretty much always been of the mind that you don't need to name/assign a personality to an unborn child. I see so much of that and I don't really like it. It's hard to explain. I want the surprise, to push a baby out and have that precious moment of "it's a ....!" Link to comment
hers Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I get it. But I hate surprises so I wouldn't be able to do it!! Spay and neuter your pets! Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die! Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm not patient, so we'll see how it goes. I could always find out and then try to torment Alex with my knowledge. Somehow I don't think it would work though. I can't sit anymore. I've been sitting all day...gonna lose my mind! I've crunched the same #'s a dozen times. Things have stopped computing lol Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'm getting back into running. My legs feel amazing right now! It just hit me how blessed I am. Not so long ago, my Mom and I weren't even speaking and now we can spend days together just gabbing away and enjoying ourselves. I went over to my sister's place for the weekend with her and we had such a nice time all together. Years ago, I was so sad for my future kids because I thought that she wasn't really going to a grandma to them, but our relationship is so good now and she is so excited that we're working on having a baby. I am sitting here remembering being this idiotic 18 year old with this psycho boyfriend who was bent on destroying my life. He succeeded, but I took it back and I built it up. Alex and I have achieved so much together, everything we've dreamed of up to this point and it feels darn good. Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 And I completely forgot to tell you all (whoever is reading) about the amazing dolphin show Mom and I got on the ferry today! A giant pod of pacific white sided dolphins playing in the waves. We'd never seen dolphins that close to the boat before. You know that scene in Titanic with the dolphins jumping alongside the boat? That was about it. Just amazing Link to comment
hers Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Psh, we florida folk get that on a Tuesday. I still always get a kick out of it though haha. It's always amazing to see them playing and swimming! Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 pffft Florida. Florida sucks Do you get the bottlenosed dolphins or another breed? Link to comment
hers Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 ...I wasn't aware there were multiple breeds haha. I'm florida but not too florida! They all look the same to me! (I'm sure I'm an embarrassment to my town though. I'm also that terrible girl who calls our body of water "the ocean" when it most definitely is not. A person can get hanged for that around here) Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Oh we call it the ocean too... Never mind that it's a strait and sometimes it's even just a river delta lol Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Think I figured out why I've been feeling queasy for the last three weeks or so. The only thing I've been doing differently is that I started taking folic acid. Probably combined with Niacin and the vitamins I get from my diet, it's too much for my system. I'm going to stop taking the folic acid for a week or so and see what happens. Link to comment

That was about it. Just amazing "I'll never let go Jack" I love Dolphins, we only have "common" bottle nose dolphins here...they'll sometimes catch a wave with you when you're surfing...or you can see them during the sunset just at the edge of the waves swimming North. I once was caught in a massive pod in the ocean on my kayak, one of the coolest moments of my life! Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 That would be amazing I put my macbook up for sale and half a dozen people are all over me for it. Did not expect that. Now I need to clean out the hard drive and take pictures of it, because apparently knowing that it's a 2010 unibody white mac isn't good enough. Not sure what a photo is going to do but oh well. I'm starting to enjoy the new computer. I was able to jump into a webinar as easily as typing in the url. That was really nice. I felt bad because Alex asked how I liked the new computer and I wasn't very enthusiastic about it. I'm going to have to get a mouse because the trackpad is way too sensitive. Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Seems as though folic acid was the cuplrit. It was so nice to come home from work last night and not feel disgusting and actually want to eat. I even did a round of 30 day shred while dinner cooked. Secret of the day-- re-roast a chicken to get super yummy crunchy skin. mmmmm Link to comment
hers Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 What are you taking folic acid for? Link to comment
redrose85 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Doctor recommended for pre-baby and first 3 months of pregnancy. It helps prevent neural tube defects-- serious stuff. Alex said maybe we should just make sure he and I each get a glass of really dark green juice each day. That ought to do it. The luncheon I went to today was horribly awkward. I did win a silent auction item though-- pretty glass and pewter trees and a fancy christmas pillow lol. See what happens when you get bored? You wind up spending money. Tonight I am wrapping pressies at the mall to raise money for a children's development centre here in town. Long day...5 am to 9 pm. Link to comment
