Babies and French Onion Dip

krissy1989 · #1 August 9th, 2009, 12:56 PM

Agh! I'm going crazy over here! Work has NOT been helping me lately with my wants! My baby fever is through the roof right now, and I swear I must have helped at least ten different customers today with new babies! And every single baby was (of course) absolutely adorable and curious and all-smiles! I tickled the little tiny feet of this beautiful bright-red-haired baby boy, and he just kept smiling so hugely and staring up at me with the most gorgeous blue eyes. Then there was a young woman (around my age, I think) who had a toddler and a big pregnant belly, and I was SO JEALOUS (in a good way, lol). She seemed so happy, and we talked forever about babies and breastfeeding and what to feed them, etc.

And, the other thing---all I've wanted to eat for the past three days is rippled potato chips with French Onion dip. Guess what came through my shopping line at least 20 times, every day for the past few days? French Onion dip and potato chips. This has to be my ultimate guilty pleasure food. I will literally down an entire can of dip if you sit it in front of me, which is why I never buy it anymore (so much fat and sodium!). But it's like the fates are testing me! Babies and French Onion dip---the two things I shouldn't have right now.

Sorry, ladies. Just had to rant. Maybe, since I haven't had it in a really long time, I should allow myself chips and dip, just this once. After all, I won't be able to eat these things while pregnant--nor after, since I'll have to watch my PP weight. After all, out of the two wants, the chips and dip are the only one I can allow myself. lol

I went to the grocery store, and I bought Lite French Onion dip and Baked Ruffles. Hooray! Now I only have to feel about a third of the guilt that I would if I'd gotten regular dip and chips.

I'm a firm believer that it's ok to splurge every now and again...so you go girl...enjoy those chips & dip!

Hehehe. I'm embarrassed, because half the container of dip is already gone. BUT, I put the can away, into the fridge, and I swear I won't touch it until DF comes home from work, since he'll probably want some.

LOL!!

I feel your pain!! I kept seeing pregnant women yesterday while running errands with DH and I kept saying "Get me away from the pregnant women! They're not me!!"

LOL!!

While we were in line at Target there was a lady with two little boys in the cart in front of us and the youngest one was flirting with me something terrible!!! He was missing a sandal and had the cutest fattest little feet!! Ooooh I just wanted to snatch him up and keep him!! He kept smiling at me!! Sooo cute!

I swear I keep seeing pregnant women everywhere and sometimes it's painful... other times it's sweet, ya know? Kinda weird.

Yeah, I know! Every time you see a pregnant woman, you're definitely thinking, "Why can't that be me?!" even if you're happy for them. I mean, I know why it "can't" be me, hence WTTC till October, but it doesn't stop me from wishing that it was!

Great, now I want onion dip! But if I do, DH won't come near me for a week.

(He hates all things onion.

)

LOL!! DH's the complete opposite. He LOVES onions. I mostly like them cooked, however I do like raw vidalia onions.

DeepSouthMommy · #9 August 9th, 2009, 09:01 PM

Oh you have no idea. DH won't touch onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise or raisins. Now I was born and raised in the deep south. I don't know how to cook ANYTHING without onions and/or tomatoes. Yeah, the first year of living together and cooking for him was a NIGHTMARE! LOL

As a side note...the same guy who doesn't like tomatoes or onions will eat salsa like it's going out of style. Figure that one out!

Coley · #10 August 9th, 2009, 09:03 PM

Salsa?!?! Well, what the...???!!?

The chips and dip were gone before midnight last night.

DF had, like, two ships before I was like, "Ohh...you don't like them very much?" *munch munch munch* "I'll eat them, then..." And he was like, "They're not bad! Hey, there're only crumbs left!" HAHAHA! It was funny.

And both DF and I LOVE onions, so no worries there.
