FFFC
Whose got 'em?
I plan on spending the entire weekend either eating, drinking or in bed with DIF.
ETA: I'm wearing an uncomfortable bra. It's so itchy from the lace that I'm seriously considering taking it off and free-boobing it today.
Another ETA: I'm hiding from FB this weekend (not posting) because I'm supposed to be "too sick" to attend my "friend's" wedding this weekend.

Re: FFFC
ETA: This isn't to say those who have made those kinds of posts won't thank someone in person....but I'm willing to be the majority of them won't.
We have a disaster recovery drill today which means we are supposed to act like there's some disaster at our firm and we cannot go into work, so we're supposed to be working from home. I think the whole idea is ridiculous and just plan on studying the entire day. That's really not very flameworthy I guess but my life is about anything but exciting these days.
I am looking forward to the three nights I'm gone for my test, even though it's the longest I will have been away from DS. It will kind of sort of feel like a mini vacation, just one where I'll have to spend ten hours in a testing room. Kind of like going on a vacay and sitting through a time share presentation.
FB annoys the shiit out of me these days. I am barely on there but anytime I am there is someone AW'ing themselves or talking about something completely unimportant. Maybe it's time for a friends clean-up sweep.
I posted on one of these on TN because I don't know any veterans. Only 2 people in my office today (me and another girl my age who isn't a vet). All of my veteran relatives are deceased and I'm not going to go around asking people if they're veterans just to thank them (assuming I see anyone as I drive to and from my office/nail salon). Posting and listening to patriotic country music is about as thankful as I can get today. I lead a fairly sheltered life...I wish I had more personal interaction.
I arrived work 30 minutes early to get a headstart since I am behind and have a lot of catching up to do. What do I do? I am nesting instead.
I've been procrastinating on my divorce respondent papers, going over all inmportant documents that needs to be handled to separate our bills and accounts, lawyer signature form and etc. I've also procrastinated on taking care of my home, laundry , cleaning my car and etc. Not going to be fun but I am aticipating that I will feel a whole lot lighter once I sucessfully take care of all of these things this weekend. I blocked out weekend fun in order to get these done.
I dreamt that I was KU last night. In the dream I was freaking out cause I just got my divorce and it may be overturned if I am KU even though it is not my X's...
I woke up and seriously wanted to go get a peestick! I just got done with my period on Sunday and have taken my pill every day on time... but the dream has me seriously considering checking anyway.
I hate that dreams can shake me this much.
I have another. My X-MIL was crying over the fact that I sold his books. I don't care that she is upset. She said there were yearbooks in there, no I sent those back to her a long time ago.
Honestly, I don't care if his yearbooks, scrapbooks or any other item he owned is missing! I gave him and his family multiple oppertunities to pick this stuff up and they failed...plus he is a complete sicko douche bag... the reason he has nothing is because of his choices/actions, not mine.
I thanked Z in a text his morning which he then thanked me for supporting him in what he does. I plan on really thanking him tomorrow with 5 hours of alone time in an empty apartment. We have every intention of doing the deed in every room.
Guilty as charged! However, I don't know any veterans personally (besides my Dad). If I see one today though, I will thank them!
I've got another one.
I get so irritated with XH never sending back DS's clothes that belong to me that today, I only sent back one sock with the stuff I sent today.
On the Friday's that XH picks DS up from daycare for his weekends, I try to put him in the same outfit he came home in the prior Sunday, so that way I'm not using the clothes I bought. However, sometimes the outfits are so terrible I can't bring myself to put DS in them. Pants that are 2 sizes too big...girl jeans (he gets hand-me-downs from XSIL, which is perfectly fine, but she has a DS and a DD).
The last time DS came home, he was wearing two different socks, one of which clearly belonged to me, and the other one didn't. So, today, I sent the (clean) sock that didn't belong to me.
I'm so sick of seeing the thankful thing going around facebook... Why do you need to post on facebook every day until thanksgiving what you're thankful for? We should thankful everyday anyway! So I refuse to partake.
I have been wedding planning
As for the vets, bf is one and I will thank him again tonight, the other 2 I know I've thanked through text message since I won't see them in person.
When you posted about this the other day I suggested you just lie and say the books are somewhere in teh stuff you had given his parents. I like this bolded part much more. Good. For. You.
Thank you! I swear I am more gentle when I talk to her, but just as firm. I just leave out the word douche bag..
I'd tell her that the yearbooks could be construed as kiddie porn and that it's probably best he doesn't have them anyway. Seriously, why does he even want those anymore?
He wants it because it was when he peaked and he was legally allowed to sleep with teenagers.
I'm in the same boat...and all of that sounds soooo good! I'm about to have Qdoba for lunch, lol!
WTF does FFFC mean?
All you people and all your abbrev's.
Flame Free Friday Confessions
I actually agree. I'm pretty involved with the miltary community with the group I run/volunteer with, as well as having family/friends who have served. I'm having a tough time with this-FB just seems too impersonal for such a cause, yet I feel I have "have to" or I'll be the a-hole who didn't thank VETS on Veterans Day. While I'm more than appreciative of those who are actively serving, I think people also don't realize that Veterans Day is to honor those who have served. You should be thankful for those that are actively serving daily, IMO. While I'm glad people are thanking the military, etc...the whole FB ackowledgment bugs me for some reason.
ETA: BUT i'll probably do the Thank You thing online...because I don't have all of my friends contact info to personally thank them (and yes, I consider them friends, even if I don't have their phone #)
