I consider sleeping until 8 am an absolute dissipated luxury. I'm usually up by 6 or 7. Drink my coffee, read my email, take my shower, then spend my days (the ones when I'm not Mom sitting, anyway) doing whatever I want. Mostly lolling around on the sofa. I love retirement.

I got into a bunch of crafts. I retired a few months before covid, which really messed up my plans to travel, take classes, etc. I do some felted wool and made a nativity scene for this past Christmas. Don't mind the dead sheep. I didn't realize it was upside down when I took the picture. I ended up making a few more shepherds and sheep. They're fun to do and don't take long, but I'm nowhere near the level where I want to be.

This is so weird. Secret pregnancy ? The girlfriend who sits in bed all day and isn’t invited to the table for a meal?

These people are weird. 

That house still freaked me out 

[HorrrGoodnight]

Eating healthy fast food. Here we go Lord.

Yes.

[lemoncake]

That fast food meal doesn't look one bit healthy

 

Got pregnant so she didn't have to diet. Got it

[CrazyInAlabama]

That food is nothing like she should be eating, not for her, and not for the baby.  

[ams1001]

She's eating for two (dozen), don't you know?

I'm not, really. My dad is but he's also 85... 

Several years ago he turned this (which he had since he was a teenager (so in the 1950s), was in my brother's room when he was little (the stickers are his doing), and then was in the basement for decades):

Into this (my microwave is on top):

That is FANTASTIC! I love it. If you don't object to painting wood, painting with chalk paint is super easy to do and looks good. A refinish would be harder but not that bad. If the dresser is solid wood you can sand it down and slap on a few coats of polyurethane. I believe in you!

This is so cute!!

Who's pregnant?

[sainte-chapelle]

Honey, this is why you tell the doctor. He will adjust the diet for you. What an idiot, that huge sandwich is not what the baby needs.

[babyhouseman]

Amy Slaton from Thousand Pound Sisters got pregnant after weight loss surgery. I guess these women are too sexy to resist.

[Chicklet]

Where are they putting that baby? They have 3 kids and no furniture, and where is the girlfriend? Are the kids and the girlfriend in the attic?

Shantel is, baby number four.     

By the end of the episode, she's pregnant with baby number 5.  Husband and Shantel claim that's the last baby.

[aliya]

Who is Shantel - I'm watching a woman named Karen, who can't leave the house.

I saw her huddled on that dirty mattress while Carlton lumbered over for his one…not even asking if she wanted anything

[Pi237]

She's fully on the eating for two excuse train. I was a fat pregnant woman and ended up losing weight throughout my pregnancy. It can be done in a healthy way.

 

[Chicklet]

We have Chantel and Carlton.

That's so cute! You're very creative! 

[HorrrGoodnight]

Okay now we can blame COVID. 

[OoogleEyes]

Pre covid. So, five years now?

I was making hot chocolate...what did he say it usually means when they can't get ahold of someone?

[mk828]

So they're ghosting Dr. Now...

Omg...😆😆😆😆  you're watching the wrong episode

[HorrrGoodnight]

Yowzers 

[Chicklet]

That's some serious weight gain in 18 months, wow.

[Pepper Mostly]

You were shocked, Dr. Now? I'm not. 

Carlton gained almost two hundred pounds in a year and a half. Now that's dedication.

[mk828]

Family drama!! Wowzers!!  Massive weight gain!! 

[Red Bridey]

I am not a crafty person. I try knitting every once in a while, but it doesn't "take" as a habit. I'm with Pepper: I sleep in until 7:45, get up, eat breakfast, watch the late night shows (the monologues anyway), do all the NYT games, and read or bake or run errands, then I'll hit the gym in the late afternoon. I f'ing love retirement! I'm never bored and I thoroughly love my life. 

[Pi237]

How do you gain almost 200 pounds! Wowza.

[sainte-chapelle]

Yea they are both huge again

[HorrrGoodnight]

Girrrrrl you're hoping what?

[Pi237]

Haha we all.typed versions of Yowza at the same time. Most entertaining thing that's happened all season.

[Pepper Mostly]

Just think, Shantel, you could have been at your goal weight by now. 

Oh, she hopes her stomach isn't stretched out. Which is hilarious since she's been working like a dog to do that very thing.

A different episode ?!? You must have thought we were all losing our minds. 

[aliya]

Well, I'm too far into it now. Karen is who showed up when I did a search.  

I think I found the right one.  This is what happens when you don't start at the begining.

[babyhouseman]

I don't even know what to say. I hope it's not their best What happened to show.

[sainte-chapelle]

I wonder if Monica is still in the picture? I hope she got a job, saved money and got her own place.

Maybe Carlton ate her one night in a feeding frenzy. She's among the missing, never to be found.

I remember Karen, has she even made it to an appointment ? Is she the one that blames the nurse for weighing her wrong?

[lemoncake]

I left the room for a few minutes and 1 year passed and they gained the weight back abd a baby

I possess no artistic talent whatsoever. I'm a good cook and tolerably good baker, but that's where it ends. I do like to paint things, little tables and plant stands and so on. Mostly I like shopping and going to restaurants, live theater, reading, and watching British police procedurals and mysteries. Oh, and shows about scammers. I'm never bored either! Living my best life!

[HorrrGoodnight]

As big as ever! Oh the shade, Dr. Now 😂

The dresser is a light wood (pine, maybe? not sure), painted white with gold trim and hardware (the gold is the only part I don't actually like). It's eight good sized drawers, all the same size. Other than some scratches and tape marks (it might have had a few stickers, too, once upon a time 😇) accumulated over the years and the corner of one drawer-front broken off (no idea how that happened, but I suspect in a move; it was in the basement for about 12 years from when I got my bedroom set until I moved out at 25 and took it with me, and it's been through a few other moves since then)

I thought I had a better picture but you can only see a little bit of it:

Don't leave the room again. She might have twins and more weight gain.
