FFFC & Whatcha doing this weekend?
It's Friday and I have a confession.
I came into work almost an hour late today, I will most likely take a 2 hour lunch and leave an hour early. 
As for this weekend, we're going to listen to one of my fav bands play, watch some football (Geaux Saint and Texans!) and as I posted earlier this week, we're going ice-skating.

Re: FFFC & Whatcha doing this weekend?
I won't flame you!

I left work early yesterday because my mom wasn't feeling well and I felt bad she was home alone. She's a big girl and I didn't need to leave but I really wanted to go home and study so I wouldnt be up late studying.
This weekend I'm seeing a guy Ive been hanging out with a bit. We are also going ice skating-he is joining a bunch of my friends who are going and were watching playoffs tomorrow. I fully intend to hook up with him too
Me either
After I broke things off with Z, it ate at me and killed me that I crushed him that bad. Then the days following, I was more miserable without him than I was with him. Now I'm not that desperate nor dumb enough to get back with him because it doesn't erase the fact that I was unhappy and things needed to change. So we talked things threw and we're going to start as friends then go from there. We met for coffee wed night and having dinner some time this week. We are going back to the beginning and getting to each other better. So far it's going ok and those feelings of happiness are slowly flowing back.
He is also going to start going to counseling himself. I'm going to continue to go too and we each have a safe outlet.
I am running my first Marathon this weekend!!! So nervous!!!
I will also be breaking up with my bf after my marathon. I am waiting because I don't want to fu*k up my marathon! Selfish I know....
I don't really have a confession - it's more of a random. Explain this:
When The Artist does not stay the night with me, I wake up at 7 a.m. to get ready for work, and consistently leave the house around 8:30.
When The Artist does stay over, we still wake up at 7, spend 45 minutes on sexy time, and we're STILL ready to leave the house at 8:30!
WTF am I doing for those 45 minutes when I'm getting ready in the morning by myself??? THIS IS MAGIC I TELL YOU
Thanks. I just hope it goes okay and its little to no drama.
Do you really want me to answer this question? LOL JUST KIDDING!
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
I hope so too. How long were you guys together?
haaaaaa. I should clarify: I am definitely OUT of bed and NOT doing THAT
But seriously. It's like a time warp. I don't understand it. I do everything the same! Where are my 45 minutes?!
5 months. I think he is sensing it because he flat out asked me last night and I told him "no." I know its wrong to lie, but I just dont want to have that deep conversation about why its not working and to get all emotional before my marathon. My marathon is going to mentally and physically drain me. I can not be mentally drained before hand.
It's a snow day for DD and I (I'm a teacher) and we're both still in our jammies.
I have date #4 tonight with a guy that's pretty cool and then it's a weekend to myself.

I understand and I guess I can't blame it. It does royally suck that everything is coming to a head on the weekend of your race, though
At least it won't be a total shocker to him. That's the worst.
My FFFC.... I haven't told STBXH that I have received the divorce papers. I want to go htrough them and get everything together first (I told him we could go over them together.... )
Well from this post it sounds like it might be a widespread phenomenon!
Still strange. And I still want my 45 minutes back, lol. I can get a lot done in 45 minutes!
Ha! On my way to work today they were talking on the radio about how the best time to have sex is at 7-7:30am and the people that do it are generally in a good mood & tend to be on time in the morning.
I can wake up the same time each morning but leave at all different times from early, right on time, late and very late. Depending on how much sleep I've had the next day and the cooperation of my 3 yr old, the morning can fly by without anything having been done. It can range from spending too much time in the shower, extra strokes with the tooth brush and spacing out under the hair dryer.
I am in a pretty good mood today...
I have stood up or canceled the last 4 guys I had dates with because I just don't feel like it. And I don't feel bad.
I could get about 3 times more work done if I didnt spend all my time at work on FB, SO, and Pinterest.
whew, I feel better!
My FFFC is I spent far too much time last night trying to figure out what to wear on my date. I had an idea but I tried on several different blazers/shirts/shoes, etc. I like to make sure I look my best so I feel the most confident but I also was extra fashion conscious because, based on his pics and from talking to him, he seems like he's a pretty sharp dresser.
Oh, and then I woke up at midnight and started obsessing about changing the outfit up. I decided to go with my dark denim skinny jeans instead of my lighter wash True Religion ones because they're dressier. Obviously I need to get out more .
I just found out yesterday that I need to have surgery on my nose to remove a bone spur. My sister, who is a surgical tech, said the recovery is rough. Although I am nervous about it, I am also secretly looking forward to it because I like how people are extra nice and helpful to me after sugery.
ETA: I am having a Partylite candle party tomorrow night and will be cleaning tonight and tomorrow in preparation of that. Then on Sunday, DD1 has a bday party to go to at Chuck E Cheese for twins from her daycare.
Oh good, I need a FFFC post.
I dreamed about my cute CW last night...there was heavy-duty flirting and some kissing in the dream. I have felt SO akward around him today! Even if I were single, he's married and has a 1-yr old kid and is really not my type, but my subconsience apparently hasn't gotten that memo.
Jaksmom, I hope it goes well either way! It sounds like Z could benefit from counseling no matter what the situation.
I don't have any FFFC confessions... life is pretty dull here.
For the weekend, I'm with D for the night and we're going to go see The Civil Wars tonight and have a lot of sex
Saturday I'm packing and Sunday, My parents and I fly out to meet up with my sister and her boyfriend in Seattle before heading off to Hawaii!!! 
Thanks! When we met for coffee wed, we talked for an hour and a half about everything. We both left there feeling better about things and just taking it a day at a time. We also learned more about what each other went through in the past and how it has affected us today.
1. Since my coworker got back from her NYE trip she has been planning her wedding and got engaged officially on Monday. I've been looking at engagement rings and other wedding planning stuff instead of actually working or doing school work. While boyfriend and I plan on getting engaged and married these events are still at least 6 months out.
2. I slept in this morning instead of getting up and going to the gym like I told b/f when I asked him to take DD to school this morning.
I don't have a FFC. However, I am excited about the weekend. My SO is coming over after coaching his daughter's game and I think I might pounce on him once he walks in the door.:) I have no idea if he wants to go out, but I have other plans. It's been 2 weeks since I've seen him. Tomorrow night we are going to dinner with another couple to one of my favorite restaurants and then Sunday I'm having lunch with some girlfriends. I miss my DS on weekends I don't have him, but mommy needs a life too.:)
