Re: AW/FFFC

  • FFFC: I am so done with a co-worker. If you can't help yourself, but won't take advice from anyone, then I'm done with you.

    FFFC2: My husband told my friends Wednesday that if I sense weakness in a person, especially a friend or co-worker, I cut them off and out of my life. They all laughed and said they knew that already. Part of me was a little upset that he said that, because it makes me sound fairly b!tchy, but the other part of me was thankful that my friends realize this ginormous flaw in my character and accept it.

    AW: I really don't have any, except that I slept for 10 hours last night and it was glorious. I'm definitely enjoying my fall break.

  • AW: One of my best friends got engaged Tuesday, so we went out to celebrate last night. We met for dinner at Sushi Neko and ended up staying there eating/drinking for 3 1/2 hours, then went over to Nova. That was the first time I have gone out by myself with a friend since C was born. I've hung out with my friends, but C has always been with me. I will say, it was really nice. BUT I am paying for it today Ick! My eyes are open, but my mind is asleep.
  • AW: this may be a strange thing to be an AW about, but I'm happy to say that mine and DH's sex life hasn't suffered since G was born. I was so afraid our sex life would get pushed aside and that scared me, or that DH wouldn't find me attractive anymore (my own insecurities, nothing to do with him). I've just heard so many things both from people on TB/TN and IRL about their sex life taking a hit after their baby was born. I didn't/don't want to be one of those couples and I'm thankful that we've kept things up in that department. And, honestly, between having a 3 month old and us both working, I'm just proud of us for still making our sex life a priority and keeping up the intimacy in our relationship.

    FFFC: I have a coworker who makes a comment about what I'm eating every.single.day. I'm about to lose it! I'm sure she's not trying to be rude/annoying, but she is. I really don't need someone telling me I should eat more (I eat plenty, I just don't eat junk), or questioning why I choose to bring my lunch every day (you know, because cafeteria food is so healthy:/). It makes me self conscious knowing that when she walks by my table she's checking out my food. I also don't appreciate the coworker who, when I turned down a cupcake, assumed I was on a diet and couldn't understand that I'm just trying to eat better. Leave me alone!

  • I am pretty sure my oldest dog Plump had a stroke a few weeks ago....  I called the vet, advised of symptoms and they agreed.  He has slowly made progress getting back to himself but he is in no way "normal".  

    FFFC:  I am not taking him to the vet because I can not handle them telling me that he did in fact have a stroke and I would rather live with the "possibility" that it is something else instead of the reality of the situation.  I hate that my dogs are getting old.

    AW: B is now crawling, pulling up, and saying "Bubba"...  That is what we often call Plump.  :)  I am pretty sure he is her best friend right now. 

  • Kind of a FFFC: It's weird being the chaperone at a conference instead of the student. I'm at an Honors conference in Phoenix and have three students from OSU that I'm keeping an eye on. Two of them are a few years younger than me [they're 19; I'm 25], and the other is 21. They wanted to go to place that turns into a bar after a certain time to try and get in [we're near ASU-Downtown, so other college kids were out and about], and I had to put my foot down and say no way. Since I honestly don't feel like I'm 25 and all adult, it's just weird for me to have to step into that role and say no. When did the roles flip? Yeesh.

    Another FFFC: OSU switched dependent care account providers, and this new one's been a pain in the butt. I had to submit a claim twice...and then after I requested it to be direct deposited, they decided to just send me a check. Thank goodness my secondary bank allows me to deposit my check through my iPhone app [snap a pic, and they'll deposit the funds]... I won't be near my main bank for another month, and the money we're getting back is a decent chunk of change that we need right now. Guess I'll know better for next month.

    No real AW, except for the fact that I finally found a Starbucks coffee blend that I absolutely love. I'll have to get a bag when I get back to Oklahoma, if I can find it. Oh, and I found a new favorite red wine from a winery in Texas this past weekend. I only bought two bottles of their sweet red wine, but I should've bought more...it's delicious.

  • AW:  I've been gone from the Nest at work for about two weeks at least.  Apparently the site got flagged and it is now blocked at work.  WTF?  So today I figured out a work-around so I can hop on a different wireless connection and still check out what's going on with you Nesties!  Woo hoo!  It may only be a once-a-day treat now, but it's better than nothing! 
  • Why on earth do 19 and 21 year olds need a chaperone? If someone told 21 uear old me I couldn't go to the bar in my free time, you can bet I would have gone anyhow.

    I'm almost positive they went anyway. I went to bed, so no idea what happened last night after 10pm. I saw all the girls this morning, so I'm assuming all went well. It's not like I could've really stopped them from doing that stuff anyway...they're big kids. And I would've gone, too, if the roles had been flipped...

    Exactly. They're adults. I don't even understand why there would be an expectation for them not to go.
