Unpopular Opinion
twohippiechic:
I don’t like creamy soups.
In fact, I detest them. It’s like dip, in soup form. No, thanks.
Carry on.
THIS.
i get my food texture issues from my mom and this is one of them. i only eat broth soups. soups i can see through.
it’s always nice to know other people share your crazy.

in the past 6 months my dog has gone from being in great health with some allergies to being completely blind and mostly deaf.
last week it was confirmed that he has doggy diabetes
and he may or may not have Cushing’s disease
google these if you want and you’ll see that life here has been utter HELL trying to live with him and not lose our minds. there’s no sleep to be had in...

husband always says “it’s going to take time or money, which one do you want to spend?”
and when it’s come to this house we’ve opted for the money on most counts, because while we’re not rolling in it we definitely have more of that than we have time (baby boy will be here in under 2 months, good grief)
we consider ourselves pretty seasoned home buying and...

fuckyeahvirginiatech:
Virginia Tech Hokies head football coach Frank Beamer has relieved offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring of his play-calling duties and turned them over to quarterbacks coach Mike O’Cain.

the drooling. ohmygodthedrooling! you would think that it would be a complaint about the baby but right now it’s MY drooling. apparently it’s a known pregnancy related symptom and i wake up in the middle of the night with half of my face SOAKING WET. i know it’s gross, i’m living it. seriously, i feel like i need to sleep on a shamwow.

it's like a disney movie
i forgot what real suburbia living was like, not faux golf course living where all of nature’s creatures are kept at bay
there are about 7 different kinds of birds bopping about my backyard at any given moment
there’s a little chipmunk family that i catch scurrying across my yard a few times a day
and the squirrels, they’re HUGE
it’s like a wildlife preserve in my yard

i know i'm a hypocrite
and if the dog could understand i would absolutely take the time to sit down and explain why he gets in trouble for peeing on the carpet but i don’t
in related news: i discovered that sneeze pees are much MUCH worse when you’re in a sitting position rather than standing

the weeks have kind of gotten away from me lately, just so much going on. unfortunately i’ve missed a few photos to document some weeks because of this, i hope i get over it soon.
Dr. showed me how VanDamme is lying in there, i was so totally wrong. he’s all C shaped and what i thought was knees or something pointy pushing out is actually his big ol’ body!
that pregnancy gas...

i'm ready
i’m ready for things to change. i know it’s only 3 weeks we’ve lived like this and looking at it from the outside 3 weeks seems so doable, so short. but, ugh, i’m just ready for these 3 weeks to be OVER.
i’m ready to have all my own stuff back again.
i’m ready to not live out of a suitcase.
i’m ready to eat whatever i want whenever i want without being...

again VA DMV, damn you!
i literally said “eh, it doesn’t matter, i just got a new photo last year” when i caught my reflection in the mirror as i was leaving the house to go to the DMV. you know, to get my 4 month expired license renewed.
so of course when she said “stand against the white backdrop and look into here” i nearly burst into tears.
“but i was told when i got my last one...

i’ve still got plenty of time to perfect it/class it up but i’ve definitely got my waddle on
had my first official dream that included a baby. and a newborn at that. (don’t mind the fact that it later turned into a puppy and my breastmilk was actually syrup)
now that he’s super active all day (and night) every day VanDamme provides endless entertainment for me and i can...
