FFFC/AWF... bring it!
What really grinds your gears this week? 
Re: FFFC/AWF... bring it!
B had a temporary tat on him and I wanted it off...but I didn't have any rubbing alcohol. So I used my adult toy cleaner. Worked like a charm.
I love you.

AW: H and I started P90X this morning! It was hard, but I can tell it's working. I'm hoping for weight loss, not muscles, and I'm a little worried that this might not be the best plan for that. Have any of you tried it?
FFFC: H's ex and her H split up, after about a year and a half of marriage. My first reaction, upon hearing this, (really and truly) was concern for SD and how she'll process everything. My second reaction was "HAHAHAHAHA."
This woman was telling anyone who'd listen that she gave our marriage "a year, tops" when we got married. She RUSHED to get hitched before H and I, and now she's on the way to her second divorce. I can't help but feel a little vindicated. Maybe now she'll start to realize that she has some serious problems, instead of blaming everything on someone else. Probably not, though.
Way to use your resources BoyMom.
This week has been hell at work. This is the slowest it's been all week, but I'm so burned out that I don't want to do anything. I'll get back to it eventually.
JJ was way too spoiled during Christmas break - I think we spent too much time with my mom. If I'm still in Oklahoma by the end of the year, we'll be splitting our time up between my place and my parents' place. Ten days in Lawton was almost too much.
McG, I haven't done P90X, but muscles beget weight loss. Or inches lost, really. The best things I've ever done for my body are eat "clean"-ish and lift weights.
FFFC: I haven't worked at all today and have spent the past hour+ engaged in a "man draft" on FB.
True. What I don't want is to be toning muscles that are under several inches of fat. But I guess that would still ultimately result in weight loss. I'm just going to stick with it and see what happens.
Gotta ask - what's a "man draft"?
Sounds like a worthy use of your time on a Friday to me!
My sister and I were talking about this over Christmas break while watching HP. I think we talked for a good 20 minutes about it. :P
Your game definitely sounds like a worthy use of a Friday!
Well lets do the bad first.
FFFC: I'm so tried this week has been super long at work trying to build credit time for my trip. Also I'm upset that H wont be off work when I arrive in China so I have to ride in a car with a stranger for an hour from the airport to H's work and I dont know if he will speak english. Could be an awkward ride.
AW: I FREAKING LEAVE TOMORROW FOR CHINA!!!!!!! I'm so excited and so in need for some real time with H.
I was thinking about you this morning. Safe travels and have fun!
I hope you have a fun and safe trip!
I've been spearheaded into a semi-exec position with our Black Alumni Association. I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with the BAA director listing out all the stereotypical reasons why people won't help us out and was surprised at how many we came up with.
That convo made me create a new resolution to stop making excuses and get to it.

Even though I am on a spending freeze I just bought a pair of valentino booties with pearl details for 70% off and do I feel guilty? FFFFF NOOOOOO!!!
(DH was not as excited as me. He can suck it)
You could always just come to both sets of GTGs.
I suppose that would be the sensible solution. I just hate how divided everything is, I guess.

Well you'll have to take that up with the keeper of the evite. I don't think any of us asked to be removed.
As far as I know, after several months she removes people who don't open the evite because she assumed they're not interested and doesn't want to spam people's inbox. There used to be a LOT if people who were on the list who never even opened the evite.
Or if she personally doesn't like them. I went to several and always opened them. In fact, I think I went just a month or two before being disinvited.
For a variety of reasons, I personally never felt very welcomed at the mass GTGs, and I think it's mostly because most of the people there already knew each other well and wanted to spend their time chatting with one another. That's ok, and some people just click better than others. But, it's also hard to get to know new people when there is a GTG of 20 people who are all trying to be heard in a crowded restaurant. I'm pretty outgoing, but I tend to prefer a lower key, more intimate environment to get to know people. It's just easier.
We have sort of broken into smaller groups (mostly by age and political beliefs from what I can tell), but I also don't see that as an inherently bad thing. It just tends to happen with large groups. Some people "click" better than others.
Edited to try to keep it positive.
Hope you have an awesome trip!!!
I actually had a dream last night and you were in it (which is weird since I've only kind of met you once.) I was at Mazzio's and for some reason I went and sat with two older people and a younger girl (which was you.) I was eating my pizza and then I looked up and said, "oh hey! I know you!" And that was about it haha, it was weird. Anyways, hope your flight goes by quickly!

That is AWESOME! I love indie stuff and would love to see your video sometime. If you put it up somewhere, please do let me know. I also just told H this and he says to say congratulations! That is really, really cool. Color me seriously impressed.
Wow! Congrats!!
Congrats! This is awesome!
Actually yes you did. Blinking is correct. After 3 times of the evite not being opened I assume you aren't feeling it. However, I send a personal email to you asking if you'd like to be removed. If you don't respond to that email, I again make an assumption and remove you. All of these "rules" are explained in the explanation email that comes with the evite.
Don't act like this is a secret society and I hold the power of who is on the list and who isn't. This is a 2 way street, you know how to request to get on the evite list. I haven't mastered my mind reading skills yet. Hoping in all my free time I can read up on it though. Give me a few months. No need to create drama where there is none. You inferred I remove people I have issues with. I don't have issues with you or Okla. Even if I did have issues I wouldn't take it out on an evite. Not that it matters, nor do I need to explain myself but I have removed 1 person from the evite list without waiting for the 3 times or sending a reminder email. She went bsc and accused me of emailing her husband and having an affair with him. I felt for everyone's safety she probably didn't need to know where we were meeting, so I deleted her. As of now there are 23 people on the evite list. 4 of those people haven't been to a gtg in at least 2 years but because they open the evite they are still on the list. Did that clear things up?
Congrats!! That's awesome!
