Re: FFFC

  • I confess I am very sad about the deadness of the boards...but I did not help try to liven it up at all. It feels very weird on this board now...there was so much good stuff going on here and then it was all gone.

  • I'm sad about the board too.  I feel like I have tried my damndest to keep it alive, but there are just so many people who have disappeared, and many others who will only lurk.  It just got to the point that I felt like I was being more of a PITA than anything with my incessant posting.   

    (Being insanely freakin' busy has also been a big part of my non-posting lately, though.)

    We wondered where you had gone off to. Good to see you!

  • Double post.....I guess I will just make another confession.

    I am scared to death of being a mom of two....with everything going on with Monk I am feeling supremely unprepared and anxious about having another baby. I know that when it comes down to it I can do it because its not a choice, I WILL be a mom of two, but until then I am feeling ill-equipped....Good thing I have a long time to work on these issues...haha

  • I have been getting a lot of pretty bad headaches.  Makes my days pretty miserable.  Most of the time I cannot keep any medicine down either.  Today is going to be better though! Big Smile

    You will be an awesome mom of two!   I surely understand being scared, but from everything I've seen/heard/etc. I know you're going to be great!!! :)

  • I think I might have hurt Chase's feelings a little bit. His grandparents want to come and visit so they can see Ella tomorrow and he was trying to figure out what time would be best. We have some errands to run in the afternoon and I thought that he was going to ask if I wanted them to watch her while we go out and said no really quickly... I don't really know why, but I just don't trust them with her... she is SUCH a germaphobe, it's way over the top and his mom told me that she once washed his little brother in a little bit of lysol... In all fairness, I would not let my grandma babysit either.

    YES! I'm dropping in for a few minutes, even though I'm behind on our magazine layout. It kinda sucks that the board has been dead for a little while, maybe it's just a cycle. It's happened before!

    As for FFC, all I did for Valentine's day is get a caramel & choc covered apple for DH and I to share. I asked the other day if we were doing anything and he said I don't know. Okay... I'm tired of being the one always to come up w/yummy dinner and make it, so a pre-made treat is all the effort I'm putting in.

    But I will make cupcakes and choc covered Oreos for my coworkers, ha! :)

  • Crimson's post about V-day reminded me of something else!

    DH & I don't really "do" Valentine's day, but I enjoy any holiday that gives me an excuse to give him a little gift or something.   

    So anyhow, I bought him a card, a whole bunch of purple-bag skittles (his fave), a new pair of shoes and a new shirt & tie.  He asked if we were celebrating, and I told him that I bought him something, but we didn't have to make a big deal about it.  I did say that if he wanted to buy me something, I'd really like a good old box of chocolates.  I even clipped a coupon for Walgreen's to get a box for $3.99.   He keeps saying he doesn't want to buy me chocolates...  no good reason, just no. And I keep telling him to just do it, or I will buy some myself, to which he also says no.

    I swear on all that's holy, if I don't have a *#&%$ box of chocolates on Monday, you may hear about me on the news......

  • I am also sad about the board being dead!!!!!! I try and post when I get a chance, but it usually goes with little to no response. I only have limited time on here cause of school and kids :o(

    You got him all that stuff and only want a $4 box of chocolates?? Girl, you need to request something better than that!! I'd be asking for some Godiva truffles or choc covered strawberries, or some other handmade, local chocolates - none of this store-bought Whitman's nastiness.

  • I've been spending an insane amout of time at the gym working out like 1.5-2 hours a day 4-5 times a week, and eating much healthier.  I've lost 16.2lbs total in 4 weeks but I want the weight to come off faster :( 

    I'm going to vegas next month and I want to look a LOT different.  I seriously don't look or feel any different and my same pants still fit the same it seems.  This is why I always give up :(

    I am hardly around b/c life is just too busy with work, working out, kids and keeping up on the house!

    16lb in 4 weeks is great progress! Don't give up, you are doing really well.

  • I too am a lil sad about the board being so dead. I've been tryin to pop in every so often, but school has gotten the best of me. Thankfully I can log in on my blackberry while I'm sitting at Owens waiting to talk to someone about all this financial aid stuff. I thought it was all figured out on Mon, but then getting a totally DIFFERENT letter in the mail made me come in again.

  • I'm sad the board is dead too b/c I'm on leave now and can play more.

    I think I'm going to have to lurk only when I go back to work :(

    I got a late charge (again) on my effing Kohls card.  Best part is it was due the 8th...I was in the store shopping on the 8th!! Grrr.  It is my fault, but I didn't realize I'd gotten my statement yet and it was in a mail pile.  That stupid card is what dings my credit score with late fees.  I'm so mad at myself.

    My bff didn't try to contact me after C was born as much as I'd like.  No card, nada but a FB post.  I know she is getting married in under a month, but her head is way up her own butt and it kinda hurts, but I sorta expect from her (not in a bad way, but that is how she is).

    We got family/newborn pictures done yesterday and I'm scared I'll hate them all b/c of the way I look in them.  Why do I judge  myself so harshly??

    With this new job, I just don't get on here during the day except my cell phone on occasion when I actually have time.  When I'm on - evenings and weekends - seems like absolutely nothing is going on.

    I will confess I've been spending more time on the Bump these days...definitely much more active over there.

  • I would really like to lose some weight, but I have no will power. I signed up at the Y 3 weeks ago and haven't stepped foot in the place since. I have a huge appetite and don't know how to control it. When I get hungry, I do irrational things... like eat 5 slices of pizza for lunch.
