What? This isnt started yet...
Re: FFFC
Hee hee, isn't that what Fridays are for?
Forgot to tell ya that I had such a good time with you and the BF!
Yay! We really enjoyed hanging out with you, too!
Mine is a little lame....I mouthed off in a meeting last week at work, to the CEO of the company. I got an email today from him asking me to stop in his office today to talk. My stomach dropped when I got that but I set up a time to meet this afternoon. I'm terrified that he's going to tell me to shut up about my concerns, but secretly I'm hoping he wants me to help change things at work.
Also, I'm supposed to have a date on Monday and I'm a little annoyed that he's so lackadaisical about communication...and maybe he's not, but I'm all "paaayyyy attteennttiioonn toooo meeeee".
Hmmm, not sure if I have anything flameful that I don't want flamed....
The best I have is that I am going to the BF's house for lunch today and I don't plan on eating lunch...
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
I'm trying to take a dating break but it's hard yo!
I'm like... okay after this guy I'm definitely taking a break. Until the next guy comes along
Definitely have some flamefuls from last weekend.
But not sharing those.
Instead, Im seriously debating taking a break from my ex-FWB (stayed friends after). He is so paranoid about people finding out what we did that he has become insulting and I don't like that.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
I made a cinnamon roll cake last night for the office, recipe below:
http://www.chef-in-training.com/2012/01/cinnamon-roll-cake/
It's super good but SUPER high in fat (calls for three sticks of butter, tons of sugar, etc.). I guess the only flameful part is that I have no plans to eat any of it.
O.M.G! I want some!
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
Ok, I lied. I had three bites and it was a-freaking-mazing.
Does he?
HA HA! Well, he totally thinks he is cooking lunch for us. I have other plans...
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
I have to make this recipe! Thanks for sharing it.

Mmmm...it would be cooler if it were rolled up like a jelly roll, though. I will ponder a way to make this happen.
Yum, I will have to live vicariously through you.
That might be pretty difficult because it's batter-like and then you melt the butter and stir it in so very liquid-ish.
What I liked about it was that it was so moist (hello three cubes of butter). Sometimes that's my complaint about cinnamon rolls-they are dry on the outside and I only like the inside but this entire cake tasted like the ooiest, gooiest part of the cinnamon roll.
I posted about this over on ML.
My friend told me that she wants to date my ex. I'm too lazy to re-type it all. But it bugs me. A lot.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Hmmm...I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm trying to picture myself in your shoes. If my BFF wanted to date my XFI, I'd be ok with it, because they're both good people. Sounds like you were never super keen on this girl to begin with, or at least side-eyed some of her relationship choices. I have a friend/aquaintence like that, as well, and I would not be happy if she wanted to date XFI, because I just know it would end badly. So, I think you're right to be squicked out. Especially given that they're both looking for different things.

I'd never want ANYONE to date my ex, but that's because he is who he is. Obviously your situation is different but I think it's just a boundary that you don't cross with friends. I could see if you were simply mere acquaintances or something but I read everything you typed and it sounds like you are close, and especially so in the past year.
I think there most be something really wrong with her, to even entertain the idea. He's just off base, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. There are tons of people in the world and yet she's turning away men left and right, then suddenly decides "hey, ya know, I'm going to go for GOZ's ex!" It just seems like something if very off with her.
I'd taper off contact with her and lose her as a "friend". No matter what happens with her and him, it would always be something in the back of your mind. An unspoken boundary that she crossed and there's no turning back.
I don't care how nice they both are, you don't date your friends exes! My ex-boyfriend I dated for 4 1/2 years tried to date one of my best friends, she got mad at him for even asking! It's just girl code.
Also, it's weird! You two going to go out on girls nights and when she talks about the awesome sex they had last night are you just going to say,"Oh yeah, that was always my favorite position with him." Weird, weird, WEIRD!
Seriously.
It's really bizarre to me. It's against the rules! It would absolutely never occur to me to pursue a friend's ex.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
This 100%. My girlfriends are like sisters to me, so any of their exes would be SO off limits in my mind, and I expect the same from them! Of all the men in this big wide world, come ON.
I like a boy.
I'm seeing him again tonight and I have butterflies/general giddiness going on. Like woah.
I'm going in reallllllyyyy cautiosly because I feel like it's too good to be true to have a boy that A. we have alot in common and B. i'm attracted to. So, we'll just see...
squee!
good luck! I wanna know how this goes
Wait, who was that? I think I had redeye in mine... oh no...
Nope....not you....the last photo....go check it out!
