So What Wednesday

• I can't commit to strictly vegan, but Mary coined the perfect term to what we're eating, "Vega-tarian."  Works for us!
• Baby 2 has her baby book filled out until about 8 months!  Fail.  Buuut, Scarlett's baby book has 0 pictures, so look at me not playing favorites!
• I let Scarlett watch PBS while Poppy has a nap, so that I can facebook/blog/read clean. 
• For weeks before my hair appointment, I was psyched and constantly pinning different style/color ideas!  Never before have I been that excited for a new do'. 
• The $5 extra that Pop Sugar has added to their must have boxes is making me reconsider my subscription.  Just out of spite!  Hello, Julep!
• Tyler took the babies grocery shopping so I could get some more organization done around the house!  And I'm blogging!!!  Way more fun;)
• I want Scarlett to earn her stickers for sleeping in her bed every night because I am SO EXCITED to order her her first American Girl doll.  She will flip when it comes in the mail...! 
• I spent this afternoon buying all of our fresh fruits and veggies at Hannaford.  Then took the ladies to the health food store for our dinner ingredients and no preservative snacks.  After all that, on the way home, I went through the drive thru at Burger King (veggie burger, no mayo, but still.) because I was too drained to even think about cooking dinner!

So What Wednesday

• I think I re-love the Kardashians.  (Scott is still my favorite!)
• Following Sean Lowe on instagram seems like a good idea.
• Now that Tyler works away for 3 weeks, when he walks through that door, I expect some time off ASAP!
• I bought mom shorts.
• When the toddler toys have too many parts that could make a mess, I keep them on the top shelf.  Out. of. reach.
• Peach looks so fantastic on Kate Middleton -- I want to try it!  With the pasty skin and blonde hair?  I'm pretty sure that won't work.
• I am having MAJOR van envy of soccer moms everywhere!  Whaaat?!
• Ah!  Ernesto!  I have been telling anyone who will listen about Ernesto & Shandie!  
• Baby 3 is totally named.  And it might include Macklemore, IF Tyler gets his way.  (He won't.)
• Scarlett tries to put babies in my belly.  
• I have wrinkles.  I am OLD.  When did that happen?!
• We take selfies in the mirror.  A lot.  Especially after we straighten our hair!

Besties!

So What Wednesday

I can't wait to hear what Busy Philipps names baby girl #2.  Birdie sounded so strange to me at first, but now I love it!

On Starbucks Sunday I drank my coffee from home in the jeep on the way to Starbucks.  Caffeine Addict.

I am tired 24/7, yet at 10pm every night, I have to drag myself to bed.  I absolutely regret staying up late by 6am the next morning when Scarlett wakes up!

Exercise makes me happy.  Duh.  But I hate that I have to exercise to feel like this.  Why can't it happen when I eat a cupcake?!  ;-)

Watch my kids?!  I will definitely pawn them off on you for 20 minutes in a tanning bed.

With Tyler traveling for work has been the only thing that has forced me to be an adult.  I am now responsible for things other than little ones, like bills that need to be paid.  I haven't decided if this is a good thing or not!

Tyler and I went to the same college, but graduated a year apart...apparently they just wanted to be thorough...!

This warm weather makes me want to move somewhere warmer with 4 seasons still, but less severe winter.  Rhode Island sounds great!  Maine winter with two kids under three will make even the most sane person lose their bananas!

Ready for Love was cancelled.  This ruined way too much of my day when I heard the news.
*UPDATE*  Is it not cancelled????!!! 

I write blog posts in my head all. the. time.  You just can't tell by looking at my blog.  For real, must get better, just because I want to remember EVERYTHING from the girls' baby/childhoods...

I still love Reese!

So What Wednesday

• I went onto amazon fully intending to order Gone Girl, but two days later, Dark Places came in the mail.  Close.
• Easter was so. much.work.  Almost like a second Christmas.  It has taken me until yesterday to get back into the grove of our everyday life.
• When I use our cloth table cloth, and it gets dirty, I just flip it over and use the other side!  
• Adding things to my wish lists on amazon and beauty army feels like retail therapy, but holy disappointment when they don't show up in the mail.  
• I buy generic brand splenda.  Lame.
• Printing out our pictures is something I do lots.  Putting them in frames, however, happens almost never.
• To fill in my eyebrows, I used mascara, because taking out my eyebrow powder and gel just seemed like too much effort!
• When the girls are sleeping, I find that I spend my free time looking at pictures of them.  I need a hobby!

So What Wednesday

• I'm so funny in middle of the night while I nurse Poppy and think of all the things that I want to blog about...I just wish I could remember them the next morning!
• Making sure that I posted about Scarlett's third birthday was important to me -- fixing the red eye was less of a big deal.  Clearly.  
• Scarlett wore tights for two days in a row because she didn't have any clean socks.  
• I use Kcups and 'Sposies.  I dabble in cloth diapers and reusable filters because the guilt is killing me!
• I am itching to get out of this house.  Like DY-ING.  First, Tyler needs to get the job he applied for last week...fingers crossed!
• After being a fashionable lady forever, I went and had babies, and now I don't even know what's in!  I've been window shopping online and I've decided that it all starts with the skinny jean!  That has to happen...asap.  
• Who needs a doctor when you have webMD?!  I have self-diagnosed myself with rosacea, wonky hormones after pregnancy (I'm losing my eyebrow -- just one of them!), and maaaybe lupus!  (Did I mention my eyebrow is disappearing?!)
• I facebook stalk myself, so I always want to put up my latest pictures, but then I feel cheesy posting so many at once...and then I think about putting them up privately, but what fun is that?!  The real dilemmas of my life as a SAHM.  ;)
• Valentine's Day is coming!!!  I have Scarlett and (mostly) Poppy taken care of gift-wise, but then the next day is Tyler's 31st birthday...I am clueless as to what to get for him!  Wife FAIL.  

So What Wednesday

• I ran into my husband's ex...while I had on no make up and was wearing Tyler's old sweatshirt.  Ugh!
• Scarlett has gone from being called "ScarJo" to just plain "SJ."  Yuck, I know, but it just slides off the tongue...
• Celebrating Scarlett's birthday is more fun than when it's my own!
• Ordering the birthday cake was a process...and I even cancelled the first one two days before I needed it.   It was already made.  That just confirmed the fact that canceling the order was the right decision!
• Tyler told me that On Demand only gets new shows on Tuesday.  I believed him.  I would only check my On Demand only on Wednesday mornings for months.
• I have started tanning.  It is such a guilty pleasure for me and I look forward to those 20 minutes of peace and quiet, but I know that I'll have to do it in moderation AND stock up on anti-aging creams now!
• The temperature here is -6 degrees.  I'm not bringing these babies out, but instead of getting things caught up around the house, I'm getting caught up with my favorite blogs!
• Yesterday, I bought more 'sposies...it's pretty much the way we do diapers around this house...maybe permanently.  Earth mama FAIL.

So What Wednesday

• Scarlett is SO about who is in fact the big sister and the baby sister.  She refers to Poppy most often as the big sister.  And we don't correct her because we think it's cute!  So not good.
• We have all the cloth diapers ready to go, but I'm not ready yet.  I'm a terrible hippie mom and I'm starting to realize it!  I just am loving the smallness of 'sposies!  Once I run out, though, it's cloth all the way...for real.
• Gisele having a baby girl named "Vivian" makes me kinda wish we'd gone with that name!  We were going to spell it with an "e" just like Vivien Leigh from Gone with the Wind, though!  Almost name twins!
• We are going for it -- aluminum tree all the way this year!  Now I just really need to scrounge up a light and a stand...!
• I straightened my hair and did a full face of make up only to realize that I hadn't even washed my face yet.   And I didn't wash it all off and start over.  I waited until after I'd run all my errands!
• I voted for the People's Choice Awards.  I mean, how much free time do I have?!  Apparently, too much!  But I wanted to support Live! with Kelly and Michael!  Oh man, this is sounding worse and worse...I'll just stop here!

So What Wednesday

• I kind of wish we had named Poppy, "Bunny" or "Kitty."  I'm (oddly) loving those names lately!
• Last weekend, Tyler was sent to the store for my last Hostess Snowball ever.  I was one of those people.  What is way more important are all of the jobs lost by Hostess workers, absolutely, but I'm going to miss those Snoballs!  They were my go-to treat all throughout college -- ahhh, memories!

• While shopping online, I've started the habit of buying on for them and then one for me!  Not good!
• Scarlett is especially loving doing "big girl" things lately and honestly, it couldn't have really started at a better time!  Less work for me!
• I'm cooking/baking nothing for Thanksgiving!  I feel a little guilty, but trust me, we're all better off this way!
• We are not getting a real tree this year because I don't want to have to clean up all the pine needles.  With the pellet stove in the same room, they fall off constantly. 
• I did love the Twilight books, but every movie has been such a disappointment.  But after the cheating scandal, I am SO TEMPTED to watch Breaking Dawn 2...
• It's Michael Strahan's 41st birthday today!!!!  And I'm excited about it!

So What Wednesday

• I left my ipod upstairs on purpose because I couldn't stop taking and sharing pictures of my little ones!  It was getting ridiculous and I think my facebook friends appreciate the break from constant updates of yet another baby picture!
• We call Poppy, "baby 2," 90% of the time.  Still.
• After having Poppy, it took me 9 days before I ventured out into public, and even then she was strapped to my chest in the moby wrap.
• Christmas shopping is consuming way too many of my thoughts these days!!!  I'm so excited!!!
• I don't have a cell phone.  Well, I do, but it's never charged and when I give out the number, I usual get it wrong because it's so rarely used.  Sad.     And Scarlett left it in the fridge for an unknown amount of time.
• Poppy looks like Frank.  I mean, super old man baby!  Luckily, I had Scarlett, so I know it gets better!
• It snowed here last week, but I made Tyler close all the blinds, so I could show Scarlett when I woke up instead of her seeing the snow when she went downstairs with Tyler at 6am.  Selfish, much?!
• Okay, I get to sleep in until 7:30am every day, but I'm up with both little ladies during the night.  I say that's fair!
• Tyler being home on paternity leave has been super-helpful, but then when I get in my jeep and the sports radio is on and his pocket trash is everywhere and I seriously question my sanity!
• Still have not read any news books...must get on that!
• Pinterest makes me happy!  Home decorating tips and yummy things to bake are fine, but the inspirational quotes are my favorites!!!

Okay, and this is just hilarious!

So What Wednesday

• I have been listening to Christmas music since a week before Halloween.
• There is lots of baby weight going on and I am not stressed about it at all.  I'll really worry about it after the holidays...!  Yay for yoga pants!
• Lighting my home fragrance makes me feel like I really have things together.  
• Most of my days are spent dressing Poppy in Scarlett's baby clothes, taking pictures, and then comparing them.  
• Naming baby 2, "Poppy," pretty much makes me Kate Middleton's bestie.  (Names with two syllables ending with the -ee sound are all the rage in England!) 
• I'm not pregnant anymore, so now I can drink way more coffee than the mandatory one cup a day; what a long nine months!!!!
• When I'm not snapping pictures, I'm sniffing Poppy's head.  Babies smell so yummy! 
• I had a moby wrap with my first baby, sold it at a consignment shop, then bought another one with my second baby.  Never should have sold it; one of the only times Tyler was right about something...!
• This SWW is pretty much all about babies...sorry 'bout that!  It's what's going on in these parts!  Next week should be more fun!!!

Comparison pictures!

So What! Wednesday

• I teared up while watching Ellen Degeneres -- dang pregnancy hormones -- I don't have feelings!
• With my impending due date, I feel like my life is about to be over.  My world was rocked when Scarjo was born, so that's what I'm expecting to happen again, but it makes me feel guilty that I'm nervous!
• Scarlett calls my make up "wake up" and tells me to put it on, so we can go bu-bye.  
• On top of telling me to put on my wake up, she also loves to wear it.  Blush, eye shadow, and lippy are her favorites.  And she knows what they're all called and where they go.  
• I'm a bit worried that I'm ruining her self-esteem with my obsession with make up and all things girly.  I love that she loves girly things, but I also want her to be well-rounded!  Here she is in her high heels with her purse: 

• Tyler brought me a pumpkin munchkin to "try" and I went along with it even though I have definitely "tried" quite a few of them this season!  
• Secret confession: I looove Taylor Swift's newest song.  I almost want to go buy RED...Oh man, I know the name of her album!!!  Super-secrets!
• Scarlett calls things by the wrong name and I never correct her; I think it's adorable.  {Wah wah yeah = water, trees = trees AND leaves, stop signs = the political signs lining our streets.}
• The worst part about not being able to walk?  I'm freaked out that I'll go into labor and will not be able to shave my legs quickly before heading to the hospital.  

So What! Wednesday

• All I want to do is sleep.  Always.  This has been cutting into my free time majorly.
• Scarjo mixes her play-doh colors.  This annoys me immensely.  I should probably let that one go! 
• Scarlett knows the name of all the fairies in "Abby's Flying Fairy School."  
• Shannon may be on to something here, but I just cannot give up the control yet.  And I know it's coming, but I still picked out Scarjo's halloween costume again this year...maybe next year!  But then I'll have two ladies that will be so fun to coordinate costumes, so we'll see...!
• I haven't read a book for as long as I can remember.  (other than Scarlett's bedtime stories)  I'm so embarrassed!  I just keep falling asleep at night!
• I have started Christmas shopping!  Actually, I started a while ago, but now someone is officially checked off the list!
• Feeding Scarlett healthfully is an everyday struggle for me.
• My hair appointment is today and it's pretty much the highlight of my week!
• I say, "I have to go potty," on a daily basis.  Welcome to life with a toddler...

So What! Wednesday

This week, I'm saying So What! if:

• I am a failure with past and present tense when I write.  It's a situation since I love to blog.  While re-reading some of my old posts, the mistakes I made were glaringly obvious!  Must work on that.
• Cooking is a real challenge for me.  Legit.  I'm not really sure why I just can't whip up dinner, but I blame my mother!  ;)  It must run in the family!  Tyler has started stopping at the local bakery and picking up chicken pot pies and lasagnas.  No lies.
• And if my cooking skills aren't shameful enough, I ruined a batch of box brownies!  Ouch.
• Meggie Monroe was baby 2's first official name and I thought it was pretty BA to name my daughter after myself.  Then that changed at about 24weeks.  I still love it, though, so I don't want to forget it!  Maybe if baby 3 is a girl...!
• I CANCELLED MY NETFLIX!  I am so proud that I pulled the trigger finally.  We just don't have the time to watch movies, but then I'll go on their website and they have every movie I've ever wanted to see...so sneaky!  
• Doctor appointments make me nervous!  Now we're going every 2 weeks, so I'm feeling nervous a lot!  After having a baby, I really should be over this phobia.
• Facebook updates about how deathly sick you are irritate me to no end.  I don't care!
• I'm not sure what's worse: the fact that I call Scarlett, "crazy lady," or the fact that she answers to it! 
• I milked it when I had my pertussis vaccine. I'm not really even ashamed!
• Using Scarlett's princess phone, I have been calling the princesses, so they tell me what to tell Scarlett to do.  She takes their directions seriously and it gets things done!  Hehe!
• I went onto pinterest.com to follow the pinners from my Glamour magazine.  Lame or brilliant?!

Brilliant!

So What! Wednesday

This week, I'm saying So What if...

• I want to buy everything for Scarlett.  I know that it's normal for parents to want to do this, but I'm not sure who gets more excited over new toys:  Scarlett or me!
• This morning, my biggest dilemma was whether to go grocery shopping or to the bounce house for Scarlett first.  Sometimes the stresses of being a SAHM can be really trying.  ;)
• My hair doesn't need to be washed until I use dry shampoo for at least one day.  Here is my favorite kind:  cheap & awesome! (It's under $5 at Walmart!)
• My jeep has a bumper sticker of Flo on the back window.  I put it on to support Tyler, a Progressive employee, but he keeps giving me a guilt trip every time I go to take her off.  
• These were my groceries today.  I'm so ashamed.  NEVER go grocery shopping hungry and 8 months pregnant.  It won't end well.

I have to say that I was (clearly!) in a baking mood, but that chocolate milk?  ALL MINE!  

• See above photo:  I am a sucker.  Scarjo loves those juice bottles; this Tinkerbell one is the third one that we've purchased between Tyler, Mary, and me.  She refuses to drink the juice, she just loves the characters.  I swear, NO MORE!  
• I'm just realizing that I'm going to have to actually deliver another baby.  And I'm a little bit nervous!  The first time, I was blissfully unaware, but this time around, I know what's up...and it's not pretty.

So What! Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what that...

• The most virtuous I've felt for a while was today!  Scarlett and I went to the local ice cream shop and we walked away with just a slushy for her -- yesssss!
• Intervention letters are SO my mom's thing, but the need for clarifying emotions through letters may have been passed on to me; I just sent my first one!  ;)
• I will ABSOLUTELY be paying another thirty bucks just to take a better license picture.
• I'm kind of loving keeping baby 2's name a secret!  I can NOT keep a secret, ever, but this is proving to be fun!!!
• No matter how many times I refer to our cat, Rex, as his nickname, "Frexy," Scarlett continues to call him "Sex."  All. the. time.  It makes the neighbors do a double take!
• I watch Big Brother.  Eek!  I love to watch Big Brother so much that I don't fall asleep when Scarlett goes to bed.  I lose sleep to get my Big Brother fix.  
• I'm feeling so sad about baby 2 coming as soon as she is...I cannot imagine life with more than just Scarlett and me...
• Leaving the house today is out. of. the. question.  I have way too many things to do here!!!
• "'Roni and cheese" is Scarjo's favorite meal.  At least I buy the veggie kind, right?!  
• Scarlett was dreaming about Elmo.  In my defense, she was sick that day and had watched back-to-back Sesame Street.  
• I have had a cup of coffee just about everyday since the 2nd trimester of this pregnancy.  It's a smaller cup than I would ever normally drink and I'm super-aware of the amount of caffeine I'm having, but it still feels wicked scandalous!  
• Speaking of coffee...it's a bit silly, but I'm counting down the days until Starbucks' pumpkin flavor comes out.  (September 4!!!  Woohoo!) 

So What! Wednesday

• I parked too close to the pole at the end of the gas pump and couldn't get out of the jeep due to my ginormous belly!  Yeah, that happened...and in front of tons of other people.  Awesome.
• I have a name for baby 2 and I thought of it awhile ago, but thought there was no way I could get away with it.  It means that I have absolutely turned into my mother.  Scary thought!  But then my mom mentioned it and everyone liked it, so I'm pretty sure were going with it.  I am my mother.  Officially.
• It's 90 degrees and sunny and I'm inside blogging.  I need to get it together and get outside asap!
• Scarlett knows the name of too many Sesame Street characters.  I swore to myself that there would be NO TELEVISION in her life.  Ever.  And then I discovered what I could get done during an hour of Sesame Street.  Hair?  Done.  Make-up?  Done.  Switch loads of laundry, babyless?  Absolutely!  
• Some of the time, I'm angry with baby 2 for stealing away my future alone time with Scarlett.  I feel like a horrible mother for this.  I'm planning on this angry-ness leaving soon...or as soon as baby 2 arrives!
• I bought In-Touch Magazine because Teen Mom's Catelynn and Tyler were on the cover announcing their pregnancy...and totally bought the new Justin Bieber CD (I felt like such a dirty old lady; especially when I pulled out the poster of the Biebs!!!)  Secrets!
• We're watching Dallas to get the back story because the new Dallas looks interesting...!  So far, so good!  Turns out, Dallas was on for 13 years.  This is going to take a while...!
• I read new blogs that have the most fun names first.  Or I look for blogs who have babies around the same age as mine!  Then I wonder what I'm missing; I love finding new fun blogs!
• Scarlett has never left Maine...I think it's time for a road trip!!!

So What Wednesday

This week I'm saying So What ...

• I have done NOTHING to prepare for baby 2.  Absolutely nothing.  I'm starting to freak out because before anything gets done for baby 2, I need to redo a big girl room for Scarjo...!  That will be fun, but SO much work.  
• My hips are growing faster than my belly.  It's like my body is saying, "Hey, I know what happens here, let's just cut to the chase..."  And now I look far more pregnant than I did at 18 weeks the first time around!  :(
• We always have the music choice channel on in the background when we're at home.  Well, yesterday, "Criminal" started playing and Scarlett says, "Britney!"  It probably doesn't help that Auntie Mary calls her, "Auntie Brit" around the house!
• I have been dying to see pictures of Jessica Simpson's baby Maxi...and today it finally happened!  I was not disappointed; she is the chunkiest, cutest little thing in the world!
• It's been pretty rainy and dreary around these parts, so we've been spending our day doing housework.  Scarlett's quite the helper in the laundry room, though her folding could use a little work!
• I'm so exhausted lately.  I have yet to stay up past 8 o'clock for as long as I can remember!  QT with the roomies has gone out the window.  :(
• When a slow song comes on, Scarlett goes, "lame-o!"  HA!  It cracks me up every time.
• Scarlett calls me "Auntie Meg" 50% of the time.  Apparently, we've been spending lots of time with Alyssa!
• I feed Scarlett "cheeses" (egg & cheese wake up wraps) from Dunkin' Donuts at least three times a week.  Mom fail.

So What Wednesday!

This week I'm saying So What! if:

• I am only just now realizing that I am the worst at straightening my hair.  Thank you, Mary, for being my personal hairdresser from now on!  (You were right, my hair was bad.)  This picture brought home to me just how terrible my hair was...

BAD hair.  (Good picture by Sweet Life Memories)  

• I bought Tyler fancy beer glasses made from recycled windshield glass (he works for an auto insurance company and sees lots of broken cars, so I thought the windshield glass was a neat touch!) and he uses our old mugs that we've had for years!  I might just lose those...
• I am a terrible blogger when I have things on my mind; the last few posts have been total fillers.  :/
• Sick Scarlett is kind of fun for me.  EEEK!  I know, that's terrible!  It makes me sad when she doesn't feel well, but I'm loooving her snuggles!!!  They're the best!  And she only wants me!
• One floor of this house always needs to be swept.  Actually, that one kind of bothers me, but I have more important things to do...like blog!  ;)
• When I heard that Bethenny Frankel has a new talk show coming soon, I got admittedly a little too excited!!!  But seriously, I cannot wait!!!!
• I bought a big bag of cadbury mini-eggs.  Have you tried them?!  Totally worth the $5 AND bajillion calories!!!  Plus, I kinda share.
• With all of these sick babies watching YGG, I almost know the character's names.  Not really okay.
• If I had the thought, "Did I wash my hair in last night's shower or the night before?" and really had to think about it.  (In my defense, the air is dry and there is a lot of dry shampoo usage in this household!)

So What Wednesday

• I spend 90% of my time on Facebook looking at my own pictures.
• I don't dare put my weight from My Fitness Pal online.  I won't even add a picture just in case someone finds me...if that can even happen!
• I started this post last Wednesday when I realized that I had forgotten to add a few SWW bullets that I meant to add...
• I bought the Yo Gabba Gabba music.  And Scarlett asks for it by name!  Oh man...and I thought Choo Choo Soul was bad!
• Scarlett uses everything as a phone.  I mean, I know this is normal for babies/toddlers, but some things that she finds just crack me up!  The silliest so far have been a bottle of lotion, a battery, and the plug of a wii controller...such a crazy little lady!
• I stayed home to "do laundry" and ended up blogging!  I just have too much fun and there were only two loads...
• I "lose my sh*t" (as Mary says) in Walmart.  It's true.  I go there to pick up a few things and leave lots of dollars poorer, not exactly knowing what happened.  Tyler's considering doing the groceries with me just to save a few "dollah, dollah, billz."  It's not my fault that I end up going crazy; they just have  everything that I could ever want or need!  Dangerous.  
•   Downton Abbey is a huge friendly time stealer.  And I'm not even sad about it!!!  Plus, it's on PBS, so I feel like it makes it almost educational, right?!
• Keeping with the DA theme, the voice inside of my head talks in a British accent.
• I JUST started following Shannon Dew because I thought I had been this whole time!  I struggle, clearly.  I'm glad I finally got with the program!

So What Wednesday

This week I'm saying So What! to:

• I just finished four loads of Tyler's laundry only to find one still dirty sock hidden beneath the laundry basket.  Shoot!
• I don't correct Scarlett when she calls fabric softener "miook."  (milk)  It's too cute!  (She thinks the detergent is water even though I have said, "It's soap, soap!" and let her smell it.  Fruitcake!)    
• I am just discovering the whole "Hey Girl..." thing.  Where have I been?  This website is pretty hilarious!

Probably my favorite one!

• The best part of the 30-Day Shred, other than the fact that it's only 20 minutes long and I never have to go to level two if I choose not to, is that I can do it in my jammies.  Just another bonus over going to the gym!
• Ew.  I cannot stand John Stamos.  I loved him on Full House, but then he was on The View today, and blech!  He is just so self-centered!  Over it.
• I went to the doctor's office for the first meeting, so on the paperwork, I took off a few LBS. from my weight because I figured I'd be there by the time I had my first physical exam.  Then I got to the doctor's office...and had my first physical.  That was embarrassing!
