FFFC
Who's got 'em?
Re: FFFC
- Every once in a while, I get little hairs on my chin. They're really fine, but they're black so i have to pluck them. I realized last night that I had one but I forgot to pluck it so I've been trying to pull it out with my fingers for the last hour.
- I'm pretty sure I married a slob. You'd think I'd have figured this out a while back, yes? But I just recently noticed it. I guess I was blinded by love. Oh well, guess I'll deal with it.
- Every time I think about Ellie's upcoming birthday, I tear up a little. it's pathetic.
I have a habit of pulling my upper lip hair with my fingers while I work. I also have a habit of pulling hair with my fingers from everywhere, particularly my hair down there
I don't wanna wait to save up money before TTC, but I know it's the responsible thing to do. I don't want to be responsible in this case which doesn't make sense since having kids is the time to be responsible! Ugh - going around in circles in my head is killing me.
- I'm so glad to not be pregnant anymore. I was NOT one of those people who loved it and to be truly honest, I had a very easy and non complicated one. At the end I just slept like such sh!t and felt so humongous that I couldn't wait for it to be over. I sleep so much better now than I did for the last 4 or 5 months of my pregnancy that I feel so much more rested. I know it's supposed to be the opposite but I feel like if I was able to function during that time, now it's a breeze even with a newborn.
- Another reason I'm so glad I'm not pregnant anymore is to have a cocktail/glass of wine. It is so wonderful to have a small glass on the weekends. I don't BF during the night so I don't feel guilty about it one bit.
- I'm very ready to go back to nannying. I'm not loving sitting at home all day every day. I am NOT looking forward to going back to dance however. I just feel like I'm going to overdo it. Oh well, it's only for 2 more months.
- I'm ready to start my Master Bedroom redo now that we have our tax money and I don't need to be a penny pincher anymore and because I go back to work soon.
:Blog:
Since Monday my SIL has been posting vague FB messages about her health and asking for T&P, but not telling anyone anything. Not even me or her family. Then MIL tells me the doctors told her she has cancer (leukemia). So MIL took off work to be with SIL while she had blood work done at the hospital for 2 days. Turns out SIL is fine as a peach; no leukemia. And during this whole thing, I didn't really care what was going on.
It made me feel like such a horrible person (what if she really did have cancer?); but with all the drama MIL/SIL stir up, I didn't care to waste my worries.
You have a right to be. {hugs}
I've been getting my haircuts at Cost Cutters $10 Tuesday. They're fast, don't talk to much and I get a cheap haircut. Is it crooked? Probably, but I honestly don't care.
Between our kitchen remodel, me going back to school, the baby, replacing our crap vehicle by fall and our regular expenses. I'm REALLY effing stressed about money.
I have eaten an entire pineapple today.
My super fab cousin gave me a free haircut and blowout today at her salon (usually, even w/ the family discount she gives me, it's still appx $65+ tip) for referring so many clients to her. WIN! My hair looks so bouncy and pretty that I am no longer OK with staying in tonight w/ CB and watching a movie. I wanna go out and show off my pretty hair. But CB's really excited about it... like REALLY excited. Guess my pretty hair is going to get squished on a pillow on the couch. Fail.
I feel so tacky abt this one, I can't believe I'm sharing it... so 2 wks ago, my friend A had a shower/b-party combined. The theme was cupcakes and candy, so her mom purchased ceramic cupcakes with candles inside as favors. I ended up not feeling well and didn't partake in the open bar, so I became the DD. As a thank you for driving all the girls home safely, her mom insisted that I take the remaining candles that were left home. I politely refused, but she insisted. I tried to give the extras to the other girls I drove home and A, but no one wanted them. So I had 8 ceramic cupcakes that I knew I'd never use. Since they still had the tags on them, I ended up returning them to kohl's (for $7.99/candle!!) and buying 2 pairs of jeggings and a pair of sandals. Tacky? Yep... but honestly, 8 cupcakes I'd never use cluttering up my house? What else was I supposed to do?
I am a total Bitter Betty today. I've been biting my tongue all day because I don't want to come off as a bitter snarky b!tch. So instead I ran some errands and cried and screamed in my car.
And then I bought a margarita cupcake and ate the whole thing.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
I've never eaten an entire pineapple but I've come close. I'm impressed. Does your tongue burn now?!
Also, the last two aren't flame-worthy at all. I like going out when my hair looks cute too. And I'd totally return tacky party-favors that were forced on me if I knew where they came from. That's awesome. Your friend's mom totally bought you new clothes for being a DD. Score!
As for me: I had a gigantic chocolate-chocolate chip cookie today and I think I'm seriously going to have a milkshake or ice cream or something when I get home. I almost never eat that many sweets in one day. I can't control it now.
Also, I have zero framed photos on any walls in our house. We recently painted and I never got around to printing wedding photos, etc and framing them. It's kind of sad, I need to fix this ASAP.
