this is the same woman who told me that good girls dont have

LOL!

My mom never said anything like that. Never got a
31.gif
talk from my mom.


My mother did tell me, however, that Jewish girls... don''t do one act in particular. I''m sure you know what I''m talking about...

ETA: I guess that part isn''t kosher.

I thought Jewish girls were freaks

(yes, this was long after the good girls dont talk)



i was in shock.

OMG! LOL!!!!


What mom knows the term ''double bag it''


OMFG!

especially since that would INCREASE the risk of everything i didnt want at the time. *sigh* oh mothers.

then later on (after dating E for awhile) she asked if our "life" was good.

Really? She asked you about that?

I''ve never discussed anything remotely of the sort with my mother, and never would.

Yeesh!

My mom doesn''t really talk about sex with me. It''s weird because it''s not a taboo subject or anything. Unless I ask her, she doesn''t really bring it up.

My FMIL likes to casually bring into conversation that she still has a hot sex life, which I think is hilarious!!

Ditto B. It''s not taboo, I''m just not comfortable discussing it.

Thats hilarious about your FMIL. How does FI feel about that?

I love the woman, but she''s the type that tells the same stories over and over and OVER again. So I play along. One (of the many) time she was telling me that she sleeps in the buff, and that''s where my FI gets it (LOL!). She proceeded to tell me she likes her skin to breathe at night ...and then tells me when hubby gets into bed...
6.gif
Another time she mentioned doing it in front of the fireplace (we were taking being romantic). I just laugh inside. But she is very open with hers, and that''s fine. FI rolls his eyes.

thats cool, what band?
They''re called Parachute. I actually got really excited because I heard one of their songs on a Nivea commercial yesterday, lol. I bought a ticket to the show tonight. I have no idea if my friends will come with me, but I''m going. I''m so pumped about this. I''ll buy the CD on my way home, and then rock out while I''m getting ready and then REALLY rock out at the show. (They''re kind of indie pop-rock, and SUPER sing-a-long-able.)

They''re pretty new on the national scene. The song on the commercial is "Under Control," which is a song I love. Definitely check them out and see if they really are familiar. Or you know, just check them out. i

Back! Keyboard drawer installed. (Wow, so fast when HR gets involved) This is going to take some getting used to here. I like it but had to move the monitor closer to me and my chair has arms on it that we might have to take off.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the guy installed it a little wrong (go figure) It''s not too bad though. Maybe I''ll have FF come fix it for me...lol

I guess HR is of the "Get it done right OR get it done fast" mentality. Hope it doesn''t hurt your wrist too much anymore.
 
yeah I''m testing it out. Had to move the monitor closer and now I feel like my eyes are popping out! haha! I''m sorta dizzy now...

You are too funny.

And you all are so YOUNG!!! I''m turning 34 in the fall, so my 30th birthday feels like it was ages ago.

I gotta tell you... and I know I''ve heard other women say this... so far, my 30s have been absolutely fantastic. Much, MUCH better than my 20s. I hit a sweet spot in my career, was able to travel more, became more confident... and most people seem to think I look better now than I did then.

So turning 30 doesn''t have to be all that bad.

Total derailment -- but isn''t that what Small Talk is for?

Dream, I seem to remember that you are a graphic designer...am I right about this? If so (or if there are any other design type ladies on this board) what are your thoughts on the Wacom Bamboo? I''m graphics tablet shopping, but I don''t know anyone IRL who uses one.

Yep that''s what small talk is all about.

Yes, I''m a graphic designer. I''ve never used one before. I just use the mouse. Sorry that isn''t any help to you.
 
That''s okay! And I am incredibly impressed that you do it with a mouse.
