Looking for official TTC buddies!!

[Steph32]

Lol! I love your protest against Victorian things That's interesting though that after you made your statement by ripping it down, they put up the tea pot? You think they still think you like it? It's funny how pregnancy will make us say and do things we normally wouldn't. I find myself standing my ground now, and I don't know if it's just because I'm more short-tempered and have a lower tolerance or if it's because I secretly want to use it as an excuse for my behavior! I've been very "selfish" but only because I've had to be, sometimes things just get to be too much for me to handle and I have to just say "screw off"-- in a semi-polite way of course!

I did try clearing my "cookies" (totally had to look up how to do that) but the only thing that came of that was a craving for cookies... And I did have some last night!

For the sunburn I did try shea butter and argan oil... also I read somewhere to bathe in apple cider vinegar?? So I took a washcloth and soaked it in diluted ACV and it might have helped but all it seemed to do was make me stink of vinegar! I think I'll just have to wait til it subsides, hopefully it'll go away soon...

I have noticed that pregnancy has made my skin soo much more sensative also! I burn much much easier....I read somewhere that some self tanners just put a light stain on the skin and do not penetrate but I find that hard to imagine So I just try a few minutes of sun here and there. My crazy little girls! Aaargh! All they have to do is step out, look up for 5 seconds, and their skin begins to radiate this olive/golden glow lol!

Yep, your girls are lucky with their skin tone And I think everything you put on your skin penetrates... to some extent... might not be much but a small amount... but if you think about it, we all shower and bathe in tap water, which we know is filled with heavy metals and who knows what else... so some things are hard to avoid.

 

[Steph32]

My skin is still hot to the touch and when I just have my hands a few cm above my legs I feel the heat radiating out like an aura! It's so uncomfortable. Oh well, maybe it'll turn into a tan?

Lol, I know...usually I am very easy going about decoration ideas, and I think they didn't consider the fru-fru victorian teapot...they just saw it as a tea-pot. Plus I think I am overly sensitive about stuff lately hormones so I haven't put anything away yet, I just let dh know I liked it the way I had it. He's just a guy, you know? And I think all guys have this initial image of women as being lacy flowery creatures that have trouble lifting anything heavier than a fork my dad was greatly that way. He was a blade smith (he made knives, swords, etc) and he hand forged this dagger for me and placed ivory handles upon it- beautiful! I loved the simple lines, etc, then he stated "Now alls we got to do is scrimshaw a bunch of flowers, maybe roses, on the handle" aaargh! Dh is starting to "get me" though and learn my ways and forget, ahem, old ways At Christmas he bought me the thing a girl would love the most (this girl anyway) a Wakizashi style blade.. I guess I like things more along that line because as a little girl I would sit and help dad in front of a burning hot forge as he made his own steel then crafted and tempered blades from it .

Poor lady! Remember to drink alot of water, or gatorade if oyu have it, to stay hydrated after that burn, it sounds like a bad one. If it were me, I would probably start to peel I hope you don't but as long as it heals, that's all that matters. Do you have any Tylenol? That should help take the fever out of it some.

 

[Steph32]

I've never been a "girly girl" either... and dh knows that... (in fact, we're both very "unisex" I guess, he doesn't do the typical male things and I don't do the typical female things... So I guess we kind of meet in the middle somewhere). I don't care so much about fashion, style, decorating, "lacy" or "frilly" things, he knows I'm not impressed by flowers and he doesn't get me expensive gifts or anything like jewelry because I don't wear any! (the only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring)

 

[Steph32]

It's looking like I will probably peel... not looking forward to that. Ugh. Good thing my belly wasn't sticking out in the heat. It was for a short while, cause I was wearing a two piece non-maternity bikini (the horror! haha) but it was mostly my arms and legs that were in direct line with the sun.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Your post made me smile In many ways dh and I are very alike- we are very compatible. But in your average man-stuff and woman-stuff we ocassionaly make mistakes, lol. I did mention to him about the ex-wife similarity of things and he looked surprised then admitted it was just force of thoughtless habit. I am very artistic and like a certain simple look- he does too for his own stuff but has trouble comprehending that I like the same stuff he does, ergo- skip the flowers, lol!

 

[shradha]

You both are so quick.....I have been left behind.......

Hahahahaha- "The horror!" lol, I swear...I actually pulled one of mine out today but didn't have the courage to put it on All my same stuff fits, just not over my belly. It was hot here today and I got some cute pics of the girls playing int he sprinkler...typical kids I was watering the lawn and they exploded from the hot back yard into the front where the water was running. Which meant wet puddles and sticky grass on my caroet but hey had tons of fun Funny little kids I let them chase the dog with the hose ocassionally, she gets into it for a while then hides

 

[Grey Eyes]

Which remind me- I mentioned my Boston Terrier has been "napping" in my garden bed, which irritates, so the other day I, ahem, "accidentally" watered her along with my plants. The shock of cold water after an hour of sunny doggy dreams cured her of her new nap spot Am I mean?.....

 

[Grey Eyes]

Shradha! You are online Steph and I have been "shooting the breeze" as they say.

 

[Steph32]

You're simple and low maintenance and that's probably what he loves about you! But yeah, he probably just reverts back into thinking you must like something in particular because you're a woman. I guess it's natural for a man to also reassert his masculinity in that way. I don't expect much from my dh either, I do have my emotional needs and sensitivites but I only like to make sure everyone in the house is healthy and happy and that all our basic needs are met. And that everyone is always listening to me and doing what I say

 

[shradha]

Coy- yea I m online.....just finished my cooking( lunch) ....dh is very particular about his lunch timing.....so I give him lunch by1-1.30.... Or else his sugar level would become low.....

 

[Steph32]

Shradha- Sorry! Don't mean to lose you in all these posts. I'm on my iPhone now, just laying in bed-- too uncomfortable to sleep!

Coy- Awww poor doggie! I do that a lot to my dogs, sometimes I step on them because they're in my way... But it's not my fault, they like to block me and they are always right by my feet! Sometimes I get annoyed but I can never stat annoyed for too long because they are just the most loyal creatures

 

[shradha]

My dh doesn't know a thing about buying anything....hehe.....he says you go and buy whatever you want....never helps me making choices.....sometimes I get mad.....he shows no interest.......

 

[shradha]

Steph- for sun burn ..... you can put curd on your body...it has an cooling effect and also good for removing tan.....But plain curd without flavor.

 

[shradha]

Or even sandalwood paste is the best......

 

[shradha]

Coy- regarding temp I am totally depending on you all......just have no idea.....

 

[Steph32]

Ha! Well one thing's for sure... men don't know how to shop (for anything other than machines and electronics) It's just not in their DNA

And what exactly is curd? Can I make it?
