A Few Items of Importance

I’m not usually qualified to give the kind of advice you’d actually like to hear, but I feel qualified enough to offer you these golden nuggets:

1. Non-maternity jeggings seem to be okay to wear far into your pregnancy, but only if you have a shirt long enough to cover the weird new shape of your pregnant butt and other body parts in tight pants nobody really wants to look at.

2. If you decide to start watching the entire Mad Men series on Netflix, don’t try to watch it all within 3 days. Your brain will be a mess and you’ll think your husband is cheating on you all the time, even if he’s in the same room as you.

3. Don’t say “No” to old people. Let them bring you pie and old television sets. Old people love to give away pie and old television sets.

4. If you have the opportunity to buy a really nice coat online for $11 (originally $150) on Cyber Monday, don’t take time to “think it over.” Someone else will buy it and you’ll be coatless. THEN how will you cover up those unattractive body parts in your non-maternity jeggings?!

5. If you and your husband decide to not buy each other Christmas gifts, he’s not going to buy you a Christmas gift. Don’t get him something because you’re pretty sure he’s going to secretly buy you one. He’s NOT.

You’re welcome.

    We haven’t ever bought each other Christmas gifts, technically, but actually he’s the one who HAS broken the no gift rule, and got me a massage. I had nothing. I felt like a jerk.

    How about non maternity jeggings for old people? That would be comfortable for delivering TVs and pies.

    and why are there no pictures of said $11 coat?? Oh, and can it be shipped to Rexburg?

  6. I love #4! Its sooo true! Just about every year hubs & I forgo presents for each other because our families are so large & after Christmas bills are still due. But I always think about getting him something even if its small so he has something to open & secretly hope he did the same for me. I love him & he’s great… but he never does! LOL
