FFFC?
Anyone?
I have 2 and a half hours left of work today because I'm leaving early for a doctor's appointment to see what is wrong with my back. I have a buttload of paperwork sitting on my desk that is half done, but I cannot think to finish any of it before 12:30 when I get back from lunch. Instead I'm sitting here nesting. Woo.
Also, my bear paw boots that I've been wearing almost every wintery day for 2 years are stinking up my cubicle! I never wear socks with them, yet I baking soda them and spray them with an odor neutralizer weekly, but I think it's time for them to be tossed out...I'm sad. I love my boots because they're SO COMFY. 
Any way the wind blows...
Re: FFFC?
I read somewhere that sprays and powders make them stink more. That if you take a deoderant stick and rub it on your feet, it will prevent them from sweating causing the stink. I've tried it and it really works.
I didn't shower at all yesterday!
In my defense, I showered the night before after my run. The problem is my hair gets super greasy pretty quickly. I just wore a cap all day yesterday. HA HA. The BF and I swam last night and I just rinsed off afterwards, I didn't actually shower. 
Fwiw, I showered this AM and now I am squeaky clean!
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
My FFFC? I DIDN'T side-eye Ninja for dropping the kitties off at a shelter. In fact, it made me ponder the fact that no one would dare say anything if a woman gave a baby up for adoption or even had an abortion simply because a baby wouldn't work with her lifestyle. It's her perogative as a woman, after all...women's lib and all that. And yet people get all up in arms about it when someone wants to give a pet up for adoption. There, I said it. *zips up flame-retardant vest*
Ohhhhhhh crap...here we go! LOL. I foresee this post getting at least 40 replies now. Nothing gets the masses all bothered like talking about pets.
I won't flame you, but I think there are differences. Rehoming would be akin to adoption here, which I don't think anyone would have flamed her for. Dropping them off at a shelter is more similar to dropping off a child at an orphanage where they may never have the opportunity to live in a real home. And for the record I would totally flame a parent who had a child for several years and decided to just drop it off at an orphanage because they didn't want to pay some extra dollars in rent and try to come up with some solutions to getting something done with their nails.
You have a good point, here. From her original post, though, I got that she had been trying to rehome them for several months. The shelter was a last resort, as would an orphanage be, if suitable adoptive parents couldn't be found.
Giving up pets at a shelter is in no way even close to the same things as giving up a child for adoption. Biological parents who put their children up for adoption do so out of love, knowing that they deserve a better life than what they can provide. Not because kids mess up the house or costs too much money after a while.
Totally different. Totally.
Except the kids aren't kept in a cage...
I've decided that I secretly despise my overweight coworker who constantly talks about all these low-fat recipes she makes (we both like to cook and frequently share recipes). She gives herself a huge pat on the back for cooking "healthy" and whenever I cook something that's high fat, she's like, "Oh, you could make that so much better by subbing non-fat half-and-half for the cream, and using olive oil instead of butter."
I want to respond, "I don't need to do those things because I'm not the one with the weight problem." But, that's rude, and not nice, and I really shouldn't think things like that but I can't help myself.
-I love the fact that I got paid OT to go to a chamber mixer/dinner last night, I had a blast and met some great people that could be very good potential business connections.
-It's been coming up on a year since I've had (good) sexx, technically the last time I got any was last May but I chose to not really count it since it was awful. I thought by now I'd stop thinking about it but, alas, that has not happened. And yet, I refuse to have a casual fling so I'm stuck with my BOB.
-Nervous as I am about XH driving with DS, I am also a little excited about the possibility of having some guilt-free time for myself.
I thoroughly enjoy BOB. He's quick and easy and no mess. Plus if you have a headache, he won't get upset.
Cats are way cuter and more lovable than kids.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind about that!
I just broke up with my BF this week, and I already have a crush on another guy.
To make it even more juicy, I met the crush through XBF
and don't worry, I am taking some time for myself before I explore this with the crush.
I got an XBF's number when I was at a Halloween party with another guy--he had a small bladder and kept going to the bathroom and we really hit it off! I got XBF's number while my date was peeing
ETA: They were mutual friends through the medical community. My date introduced me to XBF so I would have someone to talk to while he was on line at the bathroom!
Yeah, my XBF introduced me to the crush. We have been chatting on FB...
This morning instead of getting up and going to the gym like I told b/f I was going to I got DD out of her room and put her in bed with me to snuggle, watch cartoons and doze a little more thorough the nasty weather.
I keep sampling the new Ice cream flavors even though I know how amazing they are and how horrible they are too.
It has been over a year since I have gotten ANY, soooo frustrated in that way to say the least..I thought I would stop thinking about it as well but not so much. No flings here either.
Also since I must have attention from potential frogs that I know are not princes, I am debating friending an exb on FB.
I am also debating letting my mom put me on the Catholic singles site. Shameful, I know.
