Things I'll Never Understand
- The difference between digital camo, Mossy Oak camo, Realtree camo, and all the other hundreds of camo out there. I mean, really? Isn't camo camo? When I ask Jimmy he just says, "you don't get it". You're right babe, I don't.
- I don't get people who don't want to share their baby names with their family and friends. I know different strokes for different folks but the way I see it, share so they don't steal it! If you're afraid of people's reactions, you're going to get a reaction, good or bad, no matter when you tell certain people.
- Seinfeld. Never watched it, never will. I know I'm in the minority here so I'll stop there.
- Kids who fight sleep, namely mine. I mean sleep is glorious, children. It's something to cherish and enjoy. You're going to fall asleep anyway so why fight it? Go with it because I promise you need it and will feel better when you wake up.
- How fruit flies seem to appear out of nowhere. This happens about twice a year at my house and it's happening now. I don't even have any fruit laying out yet there are at least 3 of them flying around.
- Husbands that sleep through babies crying and toddlers screaming. I mean even if I had no monitor and my bedroom door was closed I'd still hear both of the babies if they cried and I'm deaf in one ear! My husband? Sawing logs. SMH.
- Pearl Jam. Again, I know I'm in the minority here but Eddie Vedder's voice makes me want to be deaf in both ears.
- Thin Mint and Samoa coffee creamers actually taste like the cookies themselves. How!?
- Companies that don't have websites and/or online bill pay options. It's 2013, this is unacceptable. Am I right?
- How 9 months of pregnancy takes forever but 9 months with a baby goes by in the blink of an eye.
- At the same time your own pregnancy drags on for what seems like an eternity but when other people are pregnant it's like "OMG didn't she just announce she was pregnant?!".
- Anonymous blog haters. If you're going to be "brave" enough to talk shit at least be brave enough to have a way for me to respond to your dumb ass.
- How different scales will give you a different number. Even if you do it at the same time, wearing the same clothes, etc all scales are different. Dumb.
- People that put on makeup, read, shave, put contacts in, etc while driving. I mean texting and driving is illegal but those things aren't?

I never watched Seinfeld either. I just don't think it is funny. I'm pretty sure my husband wishes he could leave me over it!
ReplyDeleteYes the fruit flies!! Those bastards are flying around my kitchen right now. I hate them.
ReplyDeleteI never saw Seinfeld. I'm curious to try those coffee creamers now!
Are we the same person? Especially on the camo - I bought Shawn something camo last Christmas and he was very appreciative, then later asked if I minded if he exchanged it for a different camo pattern. I was like, oh yes, this coming from the man who doesn't know the difference between stripes and polka dots - by ALL MEANS let's get the right freaking camo pattern! Ha! And yes on ALL of the other things, too!
ReplyDeleteIn agreement on Seinfeld. I never though it was funny, ever. People seriously come after me with pitchforks for that.
ReplyDeleteAnd FUCK anonymous commentors. I had someone from an old job harassing me via anonymous comments and it was the dumbest thing ever. Have the balls to say it to my face or STFU.
We are not sharing our baby name because we really don't care for the opinion of (my) family. I shared one name we liked and they tore it apart and made fun of it. When the baby is here, they will get to meet them and hear his name and that will be it. I think it's sad that anyone ever has anything negative to say about someone else's choice :(
ReplyDeleteOMG I am in agreement with so many of these. The whole dad sleeping through a crying baby - really? How is it that I hear EVERYTHING and my hubby hears nothing. Absolutely nothing. And I never watched Seinfeld either. I have nothing against just zero interest in it. ZERO! Loving your blog :)

I HATE scales! I weighed myself before my apt last Thursday just to see what I was in for and when I got to the doctor there was a 9 pound difference! It was terrible. And now that you say the girl scout cookie creamers taste like the cookies, I'm going to have to find some of that goodness!
ReplyDeletehaha! I found myself nodding my head through ALL of these. Amen!
ReplyDeleteWe have the fruit fly thing going on at our house right now too! I found a trick online that's been working. Take a bowl and put a small amount of cider vinegar in it, enough to cover the bottom. Then put a drop of dish soap in and swirl it around. This helps them from being able to get back out. Cover the bowl in plastic and poke a few holes. Hope this helps! I know how annoy they are!
ReplyDeletecamo... dont even get me started. I agreed to let there be some camo in our wedding but all my choices were unacceptable. even tho they look the same!
ReplyDeletewe never told anyone Marissa's name bc we were afraid they would steal it (I know too man shady people like that) but this time I have loosened the reigns a little bit and at least discuss names with my girlfriends/SILs to get honest thoughts.
Seinfeld... I dont understand. why?! what makes it funny? no thanks. Friends please!
I work at a hospital and weigh myself every morning on the same scale (which is the one by my MDs station) and last Friday morning it said 143.0lbs and by my appt that afternoon it said 145.3lb and I told the nurse she had to use my morning weight! hahaha!
BTW - I got a RNP sleep this week. to say im excited is an understatement :)
I never found Seinfeld funny either and people think that's so weird! It's just not my kind of humor I guess. I was more into Friends.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't share our son's name until he was born because we wanted to keep something a surprise since everyone already knew the gender. Making everyone wait to find out the name gave them something exciting to look forward to (other than actually meeting him of course) plus my husband got the excitement of announcing the name to family in the waiting room since, again, everyone already knew it would be a boy. Oh and it's fun torturing friends and family by keeping it a secret :) The last reason was because even though we were 99% sure of the name I really wanted to meet him first before making it official and getting a lot of personalized baby gifts.
Yeah the camo, I don't get it either or the need for so many different types of guns and bows but I guess it's the male equivalent of us having lots of shoes?
hahaha love this! I agree with so much of it! We are not sharing our baby's name and I think because we decided this, WE STILL HAVEN'T DECIDED!!! My due date was Monday and we don't have a baby or a name at this point. haha I am so indecisive and I think it's karma. We each have a favorite name but they're not the same or even similar at all. What a mess! My husband loves Seinfeld, too, and I just don't get it!
ReplyDeleteUse Apple Cider Vinegar to get rid of the fruit flies, I put it in a jar that I want to throw away, works like a charm!
ReplyDeleteAlso did I post two comments? I'm at work and someone was screaming at me on the phone so I'm not sure if I hit publish or the x...
Ok, the name thing. We have told people our girl name is Lauren. All other names will be kept a secret. People in our family are too opinionated. I like the name Bryce and I told my dad that and he made a grimace face. Great can't wait to name my son the name that makes you make that face! Once the cute baby has arrived honestly we didn't get comments. Maybe because everyone liked the name Chase I don't know. I know a lot of our friends and family would say this is our boy name and this is our girl name before finding out the sex and we would all talk about the names and say I hope its a girl or whatever because we didn't like the boy name and when they ended up being a boy and getting the name we didn't like we got used to it and love them.
ReplyDeleteTHE SCALES. what a horrible issue. i hate that ish.
ReplyDeleteI love this list! We are the type to keep the baby's name to ourselves. Not b/c of the reaction but b/c we don't find out the sex and want to know something about our little ones that no one else does. Dumb? Probably, but that's the way we roll! :)
ReplyDeleteFor sure on the driving and 'getting ready' thing. Duh!
Um, I hate seinfled too. I dont see how it's so amazing like people say it is. I'll stick with friends.
ReplyDeleteYES on all of them. It's almost creepy, it's like you took the words right out of my mouth.
ReplyDeleteI am with your on the anonymous people. Someone commented on my page today like the knew me but I can't respond because there is no way to. Then the hubby sleeping through crying baby. But the once a month he does hear them and wake up I never hear the end of it, like his is super dad or something. Nice try hun, but I have been doing that same thing every other night of the week.
ReplyDeleteWe aren't sharring our name because certain people in our families are assholes! lol We don't want to hear their opinion and once they are holding a sweet baby they won't tell us how much they love or hate our name choice... :)
ReplyDeleteYour list is so right on. I'm with you on Seinfield. I have seen it but I think we are all just too young to get it. I'm sure our kids will say the same about HIMYM and BBT when they get to be our age. Ok now that makes me sad. LOL
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhh I love this post!!!!
ReplyDelete1. I never understand the hidden baby names either! I have flat out told my future girl and boy names to everyone when that subject comes up because I want don't want anyone to use them. I see it as "staking my name claim".
2. Fruit flies! Oh emmm geee! We get them about twice a year also and they are everywhere! They just continue multiplying (especially when I leave my dishes in the sink for a couple days or you know my over rippened bananas on the counter.....but pretend like that doesn't matter!). Then all the sudden they will be gone. Then a few months go by fly free and then BAM! They are back! I make little fly traps using vinager and dawn dish soap. Some fall for it, but some don't. Other's use my scentsy as a fly trap. I am hoping they will be gone soon again! My best friend has fleas, I would prefer fruit flies over fleas any day!
Just found your blog and I'm loving it! I stopped sharing our names because people are assholes and I was sick of hearing everyone's story 'oh, I knew a lesbian who drove a white Jeep named that.' It got old. Surprise, everyone loved the name once the baby was here! I will purposely not buy something from someone if they don't have a website, it sucks or you can't pay online. It's just too much hassle. Get with it people! hahaha.

You never watch Seinfeld? I love that show! I'll catch an episode and remember how awesome it was. I don't get that camo either!
