FFFC
Let's have them.
Mine is that my 9 month old has one dark eyebrow hair amongst the rest of his light eyebrow hairs that is kind of growing at an odd angle. I just want to pluck it out. That's the FFFC part. I'm not going to pluck it because I think I would miss it as soon as it's gone.
Re: FFFC
This is a xp from the cooking board.
I have chicken divan in the oven for dinner. And used the processed low-fat cream of chicken soup. And I will top it with French's fried onions and shredded cheddar cheese. And I will enjoy every bite I get. This dish so reminds me of childhood in a happy way.
I got maternity clothes for my birthday this year from both the moms. Joy! While I gave myself a massage/facial/pedi, I put it on the card that DH pays. He got me a cute necklace (but nothing particularly special), on the way home, at the airport, the day AFTER my birthday, because his travel got delayed. Which means that if he had showed up on time, on my birthday, he would have been empty handed. So I have every intent of buying myself some stuff on Amazon to make up for it.
My brother is getting married. He's known the girl for four months, been dating for two. For some reason I'm not worried about this. He's old enough, got a house, got his degree, got a job, and worked through some big decicions on his own. Ok, the real reason I'm ok with it is because when I saw a picture of FSIL I "just knew" this was the girl he was going to marry.
There's a customer at the bank who has been so rude and out of line with us that we actually have permission from the regional manager to kick him out of the branch if he does it again. I'm kinda hoping he does come in again and act his usual lousy self just to see the manager, or security if needed, toss him out.
I'm irrationally annoyed that we have too many options. I feel like we have so many good options that I don't know what to do.
Have a baby or wait? Go to the work congress in South Africa that was approved this week or not because we have a baby? Stay in London or move to India (maybe) or NYC? Be a FT working mom, PT working mom or just become a SAHM?
And those are just the main ones. H just says 'I'll support you'. Damn it, I want your opinion! I know we are very fortunate, but I just don't know what decision to make!!! I feel frozen in place.
My very honest FFFC?
I am very tired of hearing about baby stuff from everyone. I feel like I'm the only one of my friends that does not have BOTB (nor am I close to wanting one), and it's just frustrating sometimes.
I feel like eventually I won't be able to relate to any of my friends because all they'll want to talk about is babies.

I am going to Ledo's Pizza for dinner tonight and will order the following for dinner:
-Cheese fries (made with waffle fries, whole strips of bacon, provolone cheese, and fake cheese sauce - I love fake cheese sauce)
-Buffalo chicken pizza with blue cheese crumbles
And I will not share any of it with DH. Quint may have some of the fries but he'll have to get his own dinner.
There will be about 10,000,000 calories in my dinner and I DO NOT CARE.
Oh I have another one. We're bleeding cash right now because we have to do so much stuff to our house, buy a new car, buy crap to survive, and fix the kitchen I almost burned down. Together the husband and I came up with a reasonable budget we both can agree on and that will keep us in line financially to save money while fulfilling needs. It is a very reasonable budget and totally do able.
I hate it and find it very annoying. It is driving me crazy and if I want to buy a pair of shoes, I don't want to have to "check the budget" or talk it over with the husband.
It is something I'm going to need to get used to because we've chosen to be a one income family. BUT I HATE IT.
H is using his last two weekends off to see his family that lives closer to us. Which means anything else I want to see in the city will be by myself.
I'm annoyed because his dad lives a hour away and has visited twice. We've been at least 8 times and have had to rent a car 3 of the times. Now we will be renting again and most likely paying for his 16 year old brother to take the train to us for another weekend.
I guess I should be more nice about it since I am the reason we are moving to the US in 5 weeks.

Glad I'm not totally alone! Sometimes I do feel that way!
