Thursday confessions
Things are so slow around here lately....and I'm trying to avoid actually working today, so let's do some confessions.
I've been encouraging DD to set up a sleep over at her friend's tomorrow night because I REALLY want to go to the movies and see The Lucky One by myself. I am in desperate need of a night to myself, with buttery/salty popcorn, a soda I don't have to share with a slobbery kid and the ability to oogle Zack Efron without his shirt on. The previews for the movie have got me all hot and bothered.
Re: Thursday confessions
I had sex last night.
With a guy.
I am so thankful I don't have DVR because I'd be rewinding those commercials and playing them over, and over, and over. Have mercy. I hate sappy movies, but I'm going to have to go see that one.
My Thursday confession: I can't quit my FWB. I keep saying, "I'm not going to do this anymore" because he's so freaking judgmental and critical about everything non-sex-related in my life, but then I realize I need to get it while I can, and I keep meeting up with him. I don't even really want the "friends" part anymore, just the "benefits" part. Is it as bad if I KNOW that's what I'm doing? Probably. Mama needs a distraction, though.
I'm so boring these days! Let's see.
I felt like I was the only one initiating contact with my FWB so I told him ball was in his court (but way nicer and flirtier). Guess he decided to drop it. Embarrassing that this has been going on for 8 months and I'm apparently not as as irresistible as I thought.

I was kind of bummed yesterday because it looks like 'VV" is going to end up being another one of those "I'm way too busy and important to make plans with you" so I met this other guy that I've been talking to for a while. It's been a really long time since I've gotten and he was really hot so I decided eh, why not?
Was it the Walgreens parking lot guy?!!? Spill it please.
no, not him see above. Walgreens guy = VV (Vince Vaughan look a like). He's way too busy and important for me
Good for you!!!
We ordered in pizza/pasta (and soft cookies) at the office today. I packed my lunch, so I grabbed my salad, and grapes from the refrigerator...and snagged a cookie! I have already gained 4 lbs since my lowest weight a couple weeks ago, and want the scale to read that number again soon...but I REALLY want the cookie! UGH!
Yep, that's all I got!
I gave some guy at work the impression we would have a chance and we don't. He's coming on VERY strong and I have to admit I liked the attention in the beginning but it's bordering on stalker now.
Now I just avoid him and jump every time someone walks up behind me at my desk. I should have shot him down at the get-go.
I had a meltdown the other night about how I'm not as Type A as the other people in my company. Of all the things going on in my life at the moment, this should rank pretty far down my priority list, but there it is. It's what I'm choosing to beat myself up about, followed closely by my looks.
At least my looks aren't top priority anymore, soooooo....progress?
Wait! Is that all? Will you be seeing him again? Is he a potential FWB? Spill it girl
Whooooo hoooooo!!!!
I just got my lap dance/striptease DVD in the mail and am really excited to start practicing my routine that I plan to do for J when we have our first weekend getaway.
Oh, also, my mom is planning on taking DS overnight for the weekend because she's going to a rodeo with a friend and her friends granddaughter (who's DS' girlfriend and a month older than him) will be there too. I feel SUPER guilty she's taking him because he's a handful but I asked her five times already if she was sure it was ok and she said it was. I'm actually looking forward to a kiddo-free weekend (from about 8am Saturday to early afternoon Sunday).
Your clarification cracked me up! Good for you!
Mine: Ex is supposedly having "surgery" tomorrow. I'm pretty sure he's getting the old snip snip done. I'm secretly praying for fatal complications.
My XBIL had it done and the surgeon screwed up and he ended up having to have one testicle removed....just sayin'
My new corset was supposed to arrive in the mail today. I could just sign and have them deliver it again tomorrow but I am driving 20 minutes out of my way tonight to go pick it up.
I am excited that I have a "cuddle buddy" for my camp out next weekend. My ex-FWB offered and I gladly accepted. (I wasn't going to stay the night since I was tired of staying the night alone there every year because XH wouldn't stay. So he offered. I'm not turning him down!)
BK: Nothing wrong with a little fun. No fair holding back!
I'm seeing him again tonight. It's his birthday so I told him I wanted to get him a cupcake to celebrate. (and a blowjob)
Never know what can happen... I'd prefer more than a FWB... we talked about doing other stuff together, like going out and going camping. We'll see.
When I met him, we actually met for water. Well he invited me to lunch, I had already eaten. So I met him at the bar of a restaurant and had sparking water. Last guy I met in a parking lot, this guy I met for a glass of water. My dating life is so funny some times.
I have a couple...
I know its super early, but I'm totally feeling that in love feeling with D already. He is truly wonderful. Of course I'm still going forward relatively cautiously and am on high alert for red flags because I'm not going to make another bad decision, although I can completely see this being a very long-term thing.
I just looked at the calendar and realized that AF is going to be visiting starting this weekend probably. I'm super bummed because this is the first weekend D doesn't have his kids at all in about a month which means it was supposed to be full of bedroom fun
I guess I'll settle for good ol' cuddling instead.
While it's not a fatal complication, I'd settle for that too! I don't think I could be lucky enough for him to have the same surgeon.
So you'll be getting some again tonight. Make sure to keep us posted with the details!
Your "dates" are awesome. I need to take note and start doing things like this. No use in wasting a bunch of time on a first date if it's not going anywhere (and most of them don't).
Call me gross but, do you know that he's totally opposed to that? I've known more guys that don't care than those that do, and I don't really care if they don't mind. Put down a towel or get it on in the shower. Seems a waste to not take advantage of a weekend like that!
So, maybe another confession of the TMI type...I know he's not opposed to that (found that out last month
). And I'm pretty ok with it too...I just definitely prefer it the other way...so I may be still taking you up on that advice!
I had a date last night. He is a year younger than me, lives on campus, and has the emotional maturity of Pauly Shore. I knew all this before I even gave him my number. But - he. is. gorgeous. So I said sure, I'll go on a date with you (ie, sure I'll sleep with you)
The worst part? Got my period yesterday morning, 10 hours before the date. So I cancelled it because sexing him was going to be an integral part of the date.
