Mid-week FFCs

1. I've been saying f*ck a ton lately. I've always said it but it's coming out of my mouth multiple times a day lately.

2. I ate a string cheese...in bed...at 3:30 this morning. I woke up to pee and was starving. I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't cuz I was so hungry, so I got up, got a string cheese, and sat in bed and ate it.

3. I was lazy Sunday and didn't go to DSW like I had planned. It ended up being a good thing in one way, cuz I got a coupon in the mail Monday, but now the only shoes I have that I can wear to work are squishing my swollen feet and they look really bad.

What are your FFCs?

    This is awesome.

    I travel for work on Monday so I'm taking Friday off since I'm losing the holiday. I offered to drive DH to school so he doesn't have to park and rush to his class. In reality, I just wanted to go to the town center. I have to return a pair of shoes to DSW, resist buying another pair, and I want to get a pedicure.

    I also need to a) find a bra that works with the little black dress I was planning to wear Saturday night for my friend's 30th birthday or b) find a new dress. I should probably do "a" but I'm tempted to do "b." The dress I have is pretty flattering but I want something that really shows off how much weight I've lost.

    I'm sorry that I'm a bad influence Embarrassed lol

     

    My fuckings sinuses have been driving me crazy this week & last. I feel like crap & I don't like it. Excuse me while I pound some Emergen-C.

    I'm over this heat. I have to start getting serious about running again & the heat & humidity aren't helping. I've been running on the treadmill most of the summer & I AM SO OVER IT.

    Can I just skip today, tomorrow & fast forward to Friday afternoon?

  • I made plans to go shopping and out to dinner with a girl friend tonight. Partially because it sounds like fun, but mostly because I seriously need a night away from MH. Flammable or normal? you be the judge.

    Ditto. Sometimes if I need me time or I can tell DH is grouchy, I'll say "Hey honey do you think you want to go to the Poker Room tonight?" Works every time.

  • I went to see HP with tattoo guy Monday night. We fb'd about it over the weekend, but I didn't think anything of it since we haven't gotten together since the Hangover. He texted Monday afternoon and I went even though it was less than 24 hours notice blah blah blah, whatever. He paid for everything and I think we had a great time, but I'm 99.9% sure that it's a NBD, just as friends deal, which sucks because I still really like him. If I was a little bolder I would just tell him i like him, but im not and anyways I'd rather him pursue. Boo.

    I thought of a couple more. Ive been single 9 months and I'm starting to think that I am either a total loser or my standards are too high. I mean, there hasnt been a single prospect besides tattoo guy and I don't see any on the horizon. I've thought about online dating, bu I just can't do it. Plus, I feel like once I really start putting myself out there, dudes are going to laugh at me because there are something's I'm just not going to compromise on. Honestly, if a guy doesn't want to date me because of what I believe then he's not worth it to me, but I have a feeling it's just going to make dating that much harder now that I'm older. Double boo.

  • I'm loving the fact that DH and I are spending more time doing our own thing. He's going to a car show and race Friday night and I'm excited about doing absolutely nothing. That's probably not very confession-y buy it's the best I've got right now.

    A) 9 months is not a long time. Perspective. After a divorce, you need time to heal. Which brings me to my next point...

    B) Have you considered counseling or going to a counselor? Divorce is a big deal & it probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm a huge advocate for counseling & I think more people should utilize it.

    I've been in counseling pretty steadily since before the divorce. I know 9 months isn't that long in the grand scheme of things and TBH I really don't focus on "getting a bf" that much because I stay pretty busy, but it still sucks.

  • I am sick.  Wait, that is not a confession, but more of a vent.

    It really annoys me when DH knows I am sick and not feeling well, yet he thinks it's okay for him to go out and do his activities, like basketball and Wing Chun when I really want him to stay home and take care of DD so I can rest.

  • I invited my former BFF to NYC with me earlier this year and I'm going to uninvite her this week because we aren't that close anymore. I'm going to lie and say nobody else is really bringing people (it's a reward trip for my work team). I don't feel bad about it either, she sucked as a friend this year.
  • My confession is, I've been skimming my huge pile of magazines from the last year and tearing out awesome, quick recipes to try at night. I filled up the freezer with great ingredients and laid them out in order. I got it through about 10 really good meals before I realized that having a creative obligation at the end of the day when M is the fussiest and DH is letting him bash me repeatedly in his walker or crawl over to the catfood because DH is also tired is just fricking irritating. I was so craving to be creative in the kitchen again, but now I'm over it for a good while.
  • I am going relatively effing money-crazy right now. Since I realized that I will pay off my student loans next month, it's been like I have dollar signs for eyeballs. New shoes? ABSOLUTELY! New phone with data plan? HECK YES! My photography insurance (sizable sum) is due in a week... but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go shopping soon anyway.

    (To be fair, I'm still living within my means and will still pay off my loans next month, but I won't be putting ANYTHING into savings, where usually I would make a loan payment AND save a small bit. haha)

    Can I ask why you're opposed to online dating?  I've never done it (H and I started dating when I was a beebee), but I know loads of people who have with great success.  There isn't the stigma there anymore that I think maybe there was when the internet was new and people actually had email addresses that ended with @aol.com.  Not to mention (and I'm no expert so maybe I'm wrong here), but aren't there specific dating sites for different interests/lifestyles/beliefs now?  Like Christian dating sites, dog people dating sites, etc? 

    I don't blame you at all for giving it some more time before diving full steam ahead into the dating world again, but it makes me sad that you would just rule it out completely and potentially miss out on meeting some great guys with your same interests and beliefs.

    Just my two cents. Ignore if it's not wanted/needed. :)

    Thanks LB.  You hit the nail on the head, Im just not ready to dive in full steam into dating and internet dating would be doing that.  Yes, there are christian dating sites, I've checked them out.  They are... um, lacking... lol

  • Got it and I totally understand. When you are ready to dive in, I hope you'll give internet dating a chance (apparently just not the Christian ones lol).

    Sorry to get all up in your shiz, but I feel like I can relate because my sister kind of went through the same thing. She lives in a small town feeling place like Pcola and didn't really have the opportunity to meet new and different people like she did in college. She fought internet dating for awhile, but finally gave in and it's been a good experience.

  • Ditto LB on the online dating. For one, I'd be all over that if I were single because I don't even know where you meet people these days. I don't barhop and I wouldn't date a scientist.

    I also convinced my bro to do online dating, and he had a couple of really good experiences.
