It's Friday! Time for FLAME FREE Friday Confessions.

Re: It's Friday! Time for FLAME FREE Friday Confessions.

  • My CW (the one who talks non-stop about being on the HcG diet) always tells Ellie "no" in German ( sounds like "nine") and it bugs the fire out of me!

    Between Guy's medical stuff, the dog's medical stuff, and our trip to SIL's graduation tonight, I have no wiggle room in my budget this week. This makes me sad because NY&CO is having a Buy 2 Get 1 sale on shoes and I reaaaaaaaaally want to order some.

    I STILL want a cigarette.

  • BFN...we are not trying and i don't know how i feel about the "N" part.

  • I waxed a few weeks ago but forgot my underarms which is now pretty long.  Like an inch.  I keep forgetting to wax it and it still doesn't bother me enough to make me remember.

  • I'm still thinking about becoming a Slumber Party consultant.  Working 3x/week and making more than I'm making now sounds awesome.  And selling sex products sounds way more fun than my current job.  Embarrassed

    You could always combine the 2 and become a sex therapist. You could help them with any mental issues regarding sex and then recommend some item that they purchase to help as well Stick out tongue

    Are you good at sales?  That was the only downside I had with my experience... I'm a horrible salesman.

    ha, I think that is part of the reason I'm drawn to it though.  My consultant says it is a little like sex therapy - theres a lot of products to help with issues in that department - women who've never orgasmed, premature e-ing, lack of variety, etc.  So in many ways, it kind of does border sex-therapy-ish.

    I got the same coupon, but I can't even make it work with that. :( Thank you for offering though!

  • Not sure if this is confession but I have a nasty virus. I feel absolutely terrible. I'm missing my birthday weekend of fun with my girls and my foot massage/pedicure. I'm pretty much pissed off at the world right now.

    Boo! Sorry Hun. It sucks nor having extra money especially when you have an awesome coupon. Grrrr.
  • I have one. I'm really sad that I'm not losing more of my pregnancy weight. I have only lost 2 pounds since a week after coming home from the hospital. I have been trying to watch what I eat, doing some exercise, and I mainly breastfeed and I still am losing nothing. I know I'm not doing anything drastic enough to make a huge difference but I thought by now I'd at least have lost a few more pounds. I'm so in between sizes that I either look frumpy in my too big/maternity clothes or I look like a stuffed sausage in my pre-pregnancy clothes. Also, my hips are so much bigger now I wonder if they'll ever go back.
    Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales...

    My hips are much bigger also.. Boo. My old jeans fit in the waist if I get them up but are to tight in the hip and look horrible.

    My confession: This terrifies me!!! I hate to sound that vain, but I am. My biggest fear is not the birth, but what my body will look like after the fact:/ I have too many nice jeans...I cannot afford to grow out of them!! :(  

  • Not to scare the ladies re: pregnancy and hips, but the medication that I took that mimics pregnancy symptoms made my hips expand and I went up at least 1, sometimes 2 sizes depending on the brand, even at my skinniest.  At my comfortable weigh (ie: where I'm not constantly watching what I eat and drink and obsessively working our more than an hour a day) I'm 2-3 sizes bigger.

    Here's mine: I spent all week working on a work competition, and we'd best win something good.  I know that's not why you work on something as a team, but seriously, it has been one thing after another for the last month and I've been constantly slammed. I baked 200 whoopie pies during the evenings for the last week, custom tinted the icing so it'll glow colors in blacklight, engineered, built and decorated our entry.  I deserve something good.

  • Oh, here's another one.  Dear person at work, I am not your secretary.  Stop asking me to save things to our shared drive or reschedule your meetings.  Not my job.  Have more education than you.  Thanks for playing.

  • I got a massage last night and got MAJORLY turned on during it. Like would have had sex w CB in front of strangers if he had been there - that turned on. I'm pretty sure the masseuse knew but I'm also sure that I don't care, lol.

    You crack me up, Amanda. :)

    I also confess I'm worried about the state of my hips after I give birth.  I'm buying a HipSlimmer in the hopes it'll compress them back to normal so I don't have to spend money on new clothes. :/

  • ::cough:: I guess the perk of already being fat before you give birth is that you don't have to worry about your hips widening.
  • I have had a crazy busy week and my boss is at home and I FINALLY got everything that needs to be done finished so I'm going to Nest until I go home.

    My FFC for this week are: 

    * I'm totally over one of my best friends weddings. I'm in a fight so bad with her two sisters that I can't wait until the stupid thing is over just so I can unfriend them on Facebook. Right now I have them both blocked because if I read one more passive-aggressive post about myself and the other two bridesmaids, I'm going to say even more sh!t that they don't want to hear. 

    * I completely recognize that I'm being a little touchy, but Jon's BM was in town this week and we went out to dinner before they went to the Bruins game and while Jon was in the bathroom, BM asked if he could have the inside scoop on when we were getting pregnant so he could win the POOL that the rest of Jon's friends have going. I told him it was none of his goddamn business and then thankfully Jon got back. I'm...I don't know. insulted? aggravated? I feel like everywhere I go now people are watching to see what kind of drink I have, how I'm feeling etc and it's annoying. I hate it. I didn't give a sh!t when you & your wife had kids, how about you all mind your own f'ing business?

    . I had no idea how apparently common this is- K's friends have one and one of my coworkers has a who will get pregnant first poll about some of the married 20something women here. He assured me that his money is on me. :-/

    I was kind of bullsh!t about the whole thing. What if we were having problems getting pregnant? What if we were pregnant but lost a child? He's not involved enough in our day-to-day to say stuff like that to me. Totally not cool.
