The lead singer from the Cranberries just passed away. It’s not something I listen to anymore, but I used to all.the.time...

cagoldi, did you theyre making a shape tape foundation? I have to admit, I’m curious, even though the concealer wasn’t my fave. I would definitely try it but I prefer lighter coverage, generally. I'm currently using Pacifica most days, which is gorgeous. I get so many compliments when I use it. When I want a little more coverage, like a night outing, I use Too Faced Born This Way.

Also slenle so sorry you did not see the end of the game, that was crazy! We didn’t have a dog in that particular fight so we were just enjoying the great football. My Jaguars are facing the Pats next week so I’m not overly optimistic but it’s been a fun season...and we do have Coughlin (who has beaten the Pats), so I guess anything is possible. I wish I was back home, my mom said the city is going nuts, everyone is sporting their gear, etc. Yesterday when the Jags won, I wondered if you were a fan. They weren't doing great when I lived there, but I always hoped they would do well. MH used to visit the facility and network with their coaches when I lived there and Jack Del Rio was head coach. I hope they win the championship! Yes, my parents had season tickets for several years but it got to be too much with also going to Gator games in the fall. We still root for them and go to the occasional game tho. I am happy to see the city, players and the long-suffering fans (esp ticket holders) see some success! My fingers are crossed for this weekend 😬

My dad just called me to let me know my step-mom’s bp has shot up so her OB wants her to go to L&D. I’m not ready for this. I’m not ready for this......
I also just had to field criticism from mh when I told him that I’m not going to visit in the hospital. I’d rather wait until everyone is home. 😑

The games this weekend were fun. DH asked Colin for his picks before each game and he went 4 for 4. The Vikings game was unreal - we were all watching the end of it it on the master bedroom while getting the boys ready for bed. Colin had been so confused when we told him the Saints were ahead because he said they would lose.
DH is making plans to swap our long weekend away with a trip out to Vegas for March Madness with Colin. LOL.

I'm sorry yummeecookee, it's a lot to take in, go at your own pace. And honestly going to the hospital is overkill IMO for any birth circumstance, waiting until they get home is always the best idea. So be quiet Mr Cookee

It is 68 degrees in my house. Too cold! We just got back from getting all the sweets. S fell asleep on the way home, H is having quiet time in my room and I’m relaxing under a blanket on the couch. It is cold as balls out too.
Thanks guys. I’m not really dreading 30, I just thought I’d have my shit together a little better by now. When I was a kid/teenager 30 was soooo old. Time flies when you’re having fun, I guess.

Hugs yummeecookee. I agree with the others. Go at your own pace. Whenever you are ready is a good time to visit, no sooner. Cool it, Mr. Cookee. trtlcrzy I have BTW for my heavier, somewhere-to-go foundation, and I like it. I think it was you, but could have been someone else, that recommended the Naked concealer. I tried it and really like it. I think I got it for an amazing price, too, so even better. It was on sale online and I had 20% off prestige brands and it ended up being like $14!

I have and like the naked concealer, but the color I have right now is pretty light so I can’t use it for face blemishes, just under my eyes. I’m in the part of the year where I struggle with foundations. My summer ones are too dark but my “winter” ones are still a little too light. So I end up wearing a light foundation with lots of bronzer. But also I have a hard time because I put my foundation on at home and it looks good, but then I walk outside and I look so pink. The struggle is real. Eta: I want a foundation that’s a little more full coverage because I keep breaking out.

It's easy to blend and the perfect consistency for my skin. I use ELF's primer with it, if that makes any difference.

I liked 25-29 the best. I hated, hated turning 30. I’m still not a fan. I have no idea why this bothers me.

I didn't love turning 30, but 3+ years in I'm happy. The older I get the more I've accepted certain things about myself (mostly appearance-related) that I was insecure over as a teen or 20-something. I'm enjoying adult-relationships with my parents, and it's been wonderful to see them with the kids. I think being a mom has boosted my confidence in certain areas; we've overcome some things and my kids are happy and healthy and I truly feel like they will be my greatest accomplishment in this life.
20s were fun in a lot of ways, don't get me wrong, but I don't really have an interest in doing them again. Sometimes I wonder if my H and I should have 'done more' before starting our family, but we still get to do a lot and I'm enjoying this phase of life. Now if we could just be settled in 1 place...!

yummeecookee I agree with everyone else. Do what's best for you. It's not like your refusing to see or acknowledge the babies you just don't want to go to the hospital. Your feelings are valid. Big hugs we are here for you.

Thoughts about being 30: I didn't really feel that different but now at 35 I feel different then 20s. I have no problems being in my 30s it's just different. I do see a huge difference between me and my coworkers that are still in their 20s

trtlcrzy Happy Birthday! I think you have your shit together so much more than most 30 year olds. I have to go for a CT scan tomorrow. Waiting to hear if the dye is an issue with breastfeeding. They have a nurse looking into it but I think I'm going to call my pediatrician. Of course it's DH's first day back to work tomorrow. Thankfully, my mom only works until 11:30 so she can take C.

I was watching college gymnastics with DD. She told me she's going to compete for UCLA. I told her Rutgers has a team and they are only an hour away. She told me she's going to be a grown up then and she's going way more than an hour away. She also convinced me she needs private lessons at the gym, her first competition is in 3 weeks. Last year she told me she was going to live with me even when she gets married.
