1. during the weekend i let my pumas come out and play. which means i put up the danskos. guess what happened then? i immediately became 10 degrees cooler - just getting prepared for my new mod and trendy blog design -which, by the way, is taking forever.
2. favorite response when telling someone about our $6,000 health insurance deductible: "that's not a deductible, that's a crime. we'd deliver that baby at home with soap and warm water."
3. this is a conversation i had a while back with a complete stranger:
complete stranger: "how old is he?" (referring to my hunter boy)
carissa: "he just turned one."
complete stranger: "oh, so are you potty training him now?"
carissa: "umm, he can't even walk yet."
complete stranger: "that doesn't matter. that's what he has you for."
carissa: "are you insane? i think so."
okay, i didn't really say the last line. but boy did i want to.
4. so not only are my thighs showing, but now my butt is too. i'd like to tell my uterus to keep its hands to itself.
5. if you want to win some mod and trendy baby stuff from dwell studio, you better go check out my "we'd so be friend's in real life," friend's blog. hurry. the goodness only lasts so long. the giveaway will close tonight at midnight.
6. thank goodness men aren't really allowed to be lactation consultants. if you watched the office last week you know why.

Um, "OMGosh" about #3! Seriously?
We don't even HAVE insurance, so I can feel you on #2, my hubby says that if he can pull a calf, he can deliver a baby. And to that I think of #6, and I say, no thanks. ;) LOL!
#3. Why are people crazy?
#4 You are hilarious. I think we need a belly pic :)
$6000 is a crazy high deductible!?! You must end up paying for everything! And I can not believe someone asks you if you were potty training a just turned one year old...that is insane!
I love Miscellany Monday Posts!!! :)
carissa you told me about that potty training comment before but it still cracks me up. Me and you are in the same mad about insurance prices boat! Don't worry too much about your butt...it will go back and it is all for a good cause ; )
I can't believe a stranger said that to you! how crazy is that?? I would have thought the same thing. And, I didn't see the office but facebook was buzzing about that male lact. consultant. I might have to look it up online. :)
oh my goodness the office was HILARIOUS!! ben and i justttt finished watching it because we had forgotten that we had tivo'd it and never watched it! we were almost on the floor laughing. usually we wouldn't have been so awake that early in the morning..but we woke up to sophia having a poopy disaster in her crib and already did major cleaning and bath time. haha.. adventures of parenting.....:) oh and thanks for the mention of my giveaway! love how you introduced it haha.
Hahaha I saw the office! Even I felt uncomfortable for Pam! Hope your feeling well in your pregnancy!
I love this!!! That episode of The Office was hilarious I think I laughed the entire time!
Okay, I don't even no how to respond to #2. That's just insane.
And for #3, I SO LOVE when strangers come up and make comments like that! It totally makes my day. I may start documenting them. Would make for a great book for a mommy-to-be, huh? Or maybe they could just add it as a chapter in the "What to Expect" books.
What a sweet blog you have here! From Petaluma to Charleston? That is a culture shock! I lived in Chattanooga for many years and never really felt like I fit into the culture of the south. There are definitely things I miss, but San Francisco has felt like home since the moment I stepped off the plane. And Bi-Rite? Oh yes please! : )
6000? That is absolutely nuts! What a good response though (: Your list cracked me up!!
Love the randomnocity of your Monday! But you know that because you stopped by my blog - I'm so glad!!
So you're a stay at home mom?? 'Cause, um, you look like a supermodel...and that's not fair. I can't wait to show my husband my new follower, although I may wait...his head won't fit through the door...
haha! Nice to meet you!
Wow! that is a crime...love the soap and water comment (but don't do that LOL) Have a great week!
Love the story with the stranger:) I'm going to go enter for that dwell baby stuff:) Hope you have a great Monday...I probably won't be there tonight..I've had the stomach bug today:(
hilarious. So why don't you potty train him? JUST kidding! We had a super high deductible at $3500 but after that it was 100% covered. Can't wait to see the new blog design...stop teasing already!
i have 3 things to say.
1. i love your blog.
2. it's so cute.
3. don't stop having a cute blog because i'll be back! :)
have a great monday!
xoxo.
emily
Oh my word - the things people will say! If people would just learn to filter...
I agree with Stephanie. We need a baby bump picture!
I feel you on the insurance situation. Our deductible is $7000 :-o .
Umm...who starts potty training a one year old?!? That is completely insane. I didn't even think about potty training Sophia until she was 2 and that was only because her daycare started. I probably would've put it off indefinitely, lol!
OMGosh, I was cracking up at The Office. Poor Jim was so uncomfortable...it was hilarious!
haha, i'm loving the conversation with the stranger. that's hilarious!
What is it with strangers butting in like that? I don't understand people sometimes.
Girly,
Your post made me laugh right out loud! I am sooo glad we are becoming bloggy friends! You sound lots like me! I have been feeling so crummy I needed a good laugh and the hubs had another back injection today Ouchy....Kelcee and him are both napping and I am well not....LOL...
O.K. #3 Seriously someone asked you that....How in the world are ya supposed to potty train if they can't even walk or understand what you are doing....laugh out loud about what you wanted to say....Kelcee just turned 3 and is just now getting good and potty trained....
Wow that is a HUGE deductible on your insurance....
Oh and that Office episode was Ha-larious....
Have a happy day sweetie
Summer :0)
#2 should be a crime and just crazy! #3 people should mind their own business. I hate it when people try to give me advice when I didn't ask for it! My favorite is when it comes from people who don't even have kids!
I am guessing that stranger doesn't have kids. Seriously who potty trains at 1...I waited till mine were 2 1/2 and then they got it in like 3 days. And I bet you are not growing as much as you think. I love reading your blog...so much cute and funny stuff!!!!
Haha, that was great!!
I am your newest follower! Stop by some time!
http://blogginmommadrama.blogspot.com
ha, you are too cute! i doubt you are showing that much, if you are it's probably becuase you are so tiny and baby needs room to grow!
some people need to learn to mind thier own business!!
hope you are having a great monday hun!
HAHAHAHA I didn't think men could do that...it was so awkward on The Office! My husband just cracked up at that part!
Your Monday posts are great!
#2... that is a crime!
#3... that is quite a conversation coming from a stranger! GEEZ!!
LOL!!! What this stranger someone was thinking?!?!?! He/She is completely INSANE!!!
Loved that episode of The Office!
You crack me up! I can't believe your conversation with that child illiterate stranger! And I wear pumas on the weekends too, right on!
hahah this is too funny!
i seriously can't believe number 3. why do strangers try to tell other people how to parent?! and number 4! oh goodness! i loved this post!
Woohoo for rockin' the Pumas! Nice!!
And the lactation consultant on the Office cracked. me. up. I was laughing SO hard when she told Jim that it would be too weird, so he has to get the other guy! SO funny.
ha ha you are too funny!! hahha.........Have a great week girl!!
New to your blog and you already have me laughing! I'm all about the lowercase letters too. :) Your joy in life is evident through your postings...thanks for being so refreshing! I'm your newest follower!
i'm with you on the deductible ... oh and i think i would have told that stranger you are nuts!!
I have heard so many FUNNY things about the office this week! I can't wait to watch-ha!
Seriously where do people come up with the stuff they say or the nerve to say it? Love your responses!
Happy Monday!
first off...the interview above was super fun to read.
secondly. so was this post. we used to have crazy insurance like that. it was not fun at all! that's why i won't let my hubby quit his current job, it's 500 a month..but the deductible is affordable. and tough beans he can't quit.
potty training at ONE!? seriously. i say just cloth diaper. ;0) although 'they' say that some cloth diapered kids potty train sooner. 'they' were wrong about my stubborn strong willed children. :0)
Conversations with people (not only strangers) can be ridiculous when it comes to babies! People at work have referred to me as "chubby" and "pudgy"...never been close to being fat in my entire life. It's called "PREGNANT", people!!!
"4. so not only are my thighs showing, but now my butt is too. i'd like to tell my uterus to keep its hands to itself." - I'm so with you on this! I thank God He gave me a wonderful husband. I swear he finds me more attractive now than ever:)
"6. thank goodness men aren't really allowed to be lactation consultants. if you watched the office last week you know why." - LOVE THE OFFICE! Hubbs and I are addicts! Literally, we own all the dvds and watch them daily:) Our wedding skit was based on the office too.
Your cool. Thanks Natalie, for the introduction:)
