@xvz: Oh nice!

And that makes a lot of sense why you wouldn't want a house there lol. I can't imagine having a house there either. BUT I've always wanted to visit that area to do touristy stuff. Alsooo I like the idea of a city that never sleeps so that I can go out at odd hours and get whatever I want (even if I have to take a cab or something to get it).

Yeah I think I'll stay in this area for a long time since this is where my parents grew up. The city I live closest to is the biggest in the southeast U.S. because of land area, and I'd like to stay in the county I'm currently in if I can because I think the school system is better than the next county over. But that would be quite a drive away from my parents depending on where we end up, so I'm torn. Wherever I do get a house though, I want to make sure it's not in an evacuation zone (meaning if we have a hurricane, we don't have to evacuate so we can shelter in place). Then my parents and siblings can come stay with us if that happens again.

Ugh, getting my wisdom teeth removed gave me SUCH anxiety. x-x

I used to be so good with dental work since I used to have braces, but it had been years after I got them removed since I'd seen a dentist (loss of insurance). So seeing one again I guess built up my anxiety. So much so that I got panic attacks leading up to the appointment, and I couldn't do the laughing gas, so had to be referred to a surgeon who could knock me out for the procedure.

BUT DON'T LET MY STORY SCARE YOU!! I was just being a big baby about it, and I'm sure you'll do well!!

@Ghostie: Welcome!! How are you today?
@xvz: That's a good idea to clear out some stuff. I've got stuff in boxes still that I haven't pulled out either and am contemplating getting rid of it.

Are there not any places in your area taking donations?

You don't have to go far if you do get out. Even going to a local park can be a nice change of scenery.

Do you know where you'd prefer to live?

@xvz: lol we've rearranged our space so much since we gained and got rid of stuff. I'm not so sure if staying in a place for too long would feel that great though, even after rearranging stuff. I'd have to get out somewhere after staring at the same 4 walls for so long.

And thanks. :3 Nah, thankfully my fiance and I will be looking together whenever we do start looking. If I lived alone, I might very well be content living somewhere for rent indefinitely. xD
@grost: Cool, thanks! Completed my end. c:

Yep, but I suspect the drugs helped heaps. xD I got an epidural when my pain level was an 8/10 and ended up needing a c-section since my son wasn't coming the other way. But the time he came, I was exhausted, plus the anesthesia made me sleepy.

I love broccoli and noodles as well. <3
Do you do a particular sauce with yours?

Oh nice!

I hear ya there on the being glad the day is over. I got home from work less than an hour ago, and I have homemade tacos to look forward to for dinner haha.

I don't usually compliment myself, but if I'm facing a difficult situation, I tell myself that others have done it, so there's no reason that I can't too. That's how I was so calm during childbirth. xD

How's everyone doing today? :o

@xvz: Yes, small steps! It's funny how rearranging furniture can make a space feel so different.
I'm just anxious about financing and making sure what we buy doesn't turn into a major fixer-upper. I'm torn if I want to save for a nice down payment or save that money for emergencies, such as fixing stuff.

@Bonnie: I just grew up with Microsoft, so it's what I'm used to (although I'll say that not OS for Microsoft are not created equal lol). I've tried with Apple because my parents have those and I just...can't get used to them. One of my classes in college used Apple computers in a computer lab, and those drove me crazy as well.

Those are my favorite pastries too lol.

Silk makes yogurts with almond milk and soy milk. The one I've tried so far and love is the strawberry one made with almond milk. I'll admit the color could look a bit better, but it's absolutely delicious. I've used almond milk to drink with cereal, and in fact it's the only milk I'll have with cereal. Otherwise I eat it dry.

And I love coffee. xD My username is Japanese for "iced coffee" lol.

Well the shelf sounds like a worthwhile project then!

And we're hoping to have a house by this time next year, so we'll see. Thinking about the process of buying a house gives me anxiety though lol.

Baked goods are my favorite breakfast lol. Just gimme a muffin or a croissant or something and I'm happy. xD I bought some mini chocolate croissants from the grocery store yesterday for today's breakfast, and they were great. <3

I like the idea of using alternative milks to make things. Not that I'm super lactose intolerant, but I think I am just slightly? I like the yogurt that Silk makes, or at least the strawberry one. I bought a peach mango flavor and gotta try that one...
