FFFC!!!!

As I get busier at work, I'm missing out on some of these posts and they can be super awesome. 

Let 'em loose ladies!

This is light hearted, but it's still a confession. I ate an entire block of fresh mozzarella cheese yesterday. When DH asked where it was (he wanted to make a sandwich) I told him I had to throw it out because it smelled funny. I have been having a hard time finding the motivation to run... I think the guilt from my cheese fest yesterday might just do it. Oh and I ate an absurd amount of candyt corn later in the day (possibly half the bag).

We found out earlier this week that DH's job is no longer allowing employees to work remotely. He has been told to find a new job or move to an office by April. 

My FFFC: I want to continue TTC, even though it's not the smartest idea, because even if I get KU this cycle we would have 3 months after April before a LO arrives. Also, I won't tell him this, but I'm a little happy this has happened. DH has gotten too comfortable in the dead-end job because the benefits are good.

Last week, I mentioned that my BIL lives in our basement. He buys most of his own groceries/snacks and keeps them down there with him. Fine. Awesome! But when he comes upstairs to eat all of OUR snacks (Especially the stuff I buy for the kids' lunches) and steals our mayo/mustard to take to the basement, I get livid.

So when I bought Halloween candy last night for my big treat bowl? I only bought things that contain nuts or peanut butter. Because he's allergic to all of it and won't be able to touch a single piece.

I will make myself SICK on candy corn before I stop eating it.

Me too! The only way I will be able to stop is when I get a sugar headache, then I know I've had enough.

@Delphinus85 so relieved to know I'm not the only one! I hate ice cream cake!

pearlsandcurls84

@delphinus85 Gurl, I'm with ya. I LOATHE ice cream cake. DH know this but he gets it almost every year for my birthday. It so happens to be his favorite. This year, before my birthday, I reminded him that I hate it and he finally got me a cheesecake (if you haven't already figured it out... I clearly love anything with cheese).

One more, i found half a bag of reeses peanut butter pumpkins in my work bag, i intend on them not going home with me unless they are in my belly! Buh bye diet it was nice to be down a few pounds!!

It's worth the pounds... Those are so damn good. I don't know why, because I'm sure they are the same as a regular Reese's, but I think they taste better! I'm sure it's just the cute shape.

hullabalou

The other day at work I was so gassy. A customer walked up to me and I had just farted. He sniffed the air and said "something smells like basil!"

I kept farting (they were really silent farts) because he thought it smelled good and had no clue what it was. I was so relieved to not have to hold it in that I talked to him for over an hour.

I am an equal opportunity sweet-a-holic. I'll eat anything that has sugar in it, as long as it doesn't contain fruit. FRUIT IS NOT MEANT TO BE DESSERT!

Don't get me wrong, I love fruit. But when I want a REAL dessert, it had damn well have butter, sugar, chocolate, peanut butter, marshmallow, or something similar in the ingredient list.

Oatmeal raisin cookies are blasphemy (why not chocolate chips???)
So help me God, I will not eat a muffin that has blueberries in it.
I hate all kinds of fruit pie (save key lime pie because it's awesome and therefore doesn't count).
Fruitcake is the devil's spawn.
Apple cobbler? Absolute NO.

I love ice cream cake and candy corn. Though you can keep the Reese's pumpkin things. I'll eat them if I'm desperate, but I don't like the chalky peanut interior. I know I'm in the minority on that one (consider it a belated UO).

I spend a lot of time cooking good meals for dinner that I plan to last DH and I at least one, maybe two following nights for dinner, obviously so that I don' t have to cook something new every.single.night.  I HATE that DH then proceeds to eat as many as three servings at dinner, and then usually a fourth serving a few hours later because he stays up much later than me and gets hungry again, leaving not even enough for a second night's dinner!!!  He is not overweight at all so I wish he wouldn't eat so damn much.  To top it all off, every single afternoon before I leave work I get a text asking "what's for dinner?".  How about figure it out for your damn self since you ate what I planned to have for dinner already!!!!  Aaaaand rant done.

This. DH has declared that a meal with leftovers is not a successful meal. He kills me. Luckily he doesn't expect me to make dinner every night because then I would kill him.

I would portion out the meals and immediately put away the leftovers. And if he ate them, too, I would say, "Reservations" when he asked what's for dinner the next night. Continue until he gets the hint, or make double batches.

@katiewest

I'm going to hop on your dinner rant with one of my own:

Everyday I'll ask DH what he wants for dinner. I don't mind cooking, but I haaaate grocery shopping without a plan. Everyday I get the same response...."whatever you want." GAHHH!! So last week I made an entire meal that consisted of things that I like and he hates. (Knowing full well he wouldn't like it). He was so polite about trying to eat it that I actually felt bad. But even after the bitchiest dinner of all time, he STILL won't tell me what he wants for dinner!

I wish I could do this but there is no way he would let me stop him from eating whatever he wanted.  If I told him he couldn't have it, he would just want it that much more. lol  I swear I live with a man-child.

ETA:  And he always validates his multiple servings by saying "your cooking is soooo yummy that I just had to have some more" making it that much harder for me to bitch at him. 

Mine does that, too. I've taken to putting the leftovers in the freezer. It's a pain in the ass to thaw/reheat frozen food.

MUHAHAHA.

I hate the way DH eats. He refuses to use a fork unless we're at a restaurant and he holds all utensils overhanded. It's literally Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies style. He's gotten a better about the overhanded thing, but still reverts back to it when not thinking or really hungry. 

My husband is Jethro:

My husband eats out of a serving bowl with a serving spoon if we're having anything like soup or pasta. It's obnoxious as hell. He knows I can't stand it, but he continues to do it. I may take to hiding the servingware.

Here's my candy corn confession:

Last night while I was making a yummy dinner (chicken parm) I was eating candy corn.  I couldn't help myself.  So I totally spoiled my dinner like a child. 

I also stuffed my face with the mozzarella cheese I was using.  So...wasn't so hungry anymore when I sat down at the table.

I hung up on someone this morning. She called yesterday to check on the status of her application. The problem is that a lot of the staff are out of town at a meeting so I haven't been able to find out what's going on despite my best efforts. She has an arrest (and possibly a conviction) which means her application could be denied. All she wanted to do was argue with me about how long it's taken to review her application and she kept trying to talk over me. So I just told her when I had some information for her I'd call her and then I hung up. I get that she's frustrated but being an asshole to the people reviewing your application isn't going to win you any favor.

Rude. That is no way to get someone to help you. Sorry she was like that to you love.

The bummer is that I finally got a copy of her application and her crime isn't something we can deny for. So her application can be processed. She goes on my post it though.

I can't tie my shoes.

Okay, I can make a bow, but it takes me forever and it's always terrible. I blame my preschool teacher and my mother. I hate wearing shoes. When I was in preschool my teacher got tired of always tying my shoes for me and asked my mother to buy me slip ons. That way when I took them off she could just slip them back on instead of retying them. Well I never learned how to tie my shoes. No one taught me. Finally in the 6th grade, after wearing slip ons for years, a friend of mine helped me out. I still struggle with it. It's a pain and embarrassing.

@darcyhermione

OMG I CANT EITHER!

My Dad taught me the 'easy' way first - where you just tie the 'bunny ears' together, instead of looping them like everyone else does. I never learned that way!

I decided to make pumpkin spice drop cookies for Open House. I ended up eating probably 8-10 cookies in raw dough form and another 4-5 once I iced them. I was supposed to bring 40ish and ended up with about 25. I blamed it on accidentally forgetting the timer and burning a pan.

ETA: I forgot Cookie Monster.

FFFC - Last weekend, I didn't get drunk. For the first time in years and years. I drank one glass of wine Saturday, and then Sunday we went to a wedding and I had one beer, and they had mini glasses of wine during open bar, and I had some of those (so basically 2-3 good size glasses of wine total), and that took me 5 hours to do that. I was a wee bit tipsy, but considering I usually drink two bottles of wine to myself in a couple hours, that was a really small amount for me. I was home in bed by 11.

I've had an unopened bottle of wine for a week in my house and I haven't touched it.

The bunny ears thing is the worst! I don't understand why some people think it's the easy way. Someone taught SD that way and even though she ties her shoes it's always a huge mess of knots. We are trying to teach her the real way. :-)

Time zones confuse me. Like I get the idea but is there just a sudden line where the time change is? They always show a huge line through the map and it's like, how wide is that line? Is it a gradual change? Does the clock just suddenly change? If it suddenly changes could two neighboring towns be on different time zones?

Yep.  It's like a state line.  Or a country line.  One moment it's 3:00pm, the next it's 4:00pm.  Just like that.  My friend grew up near a time change line and here mom actually lived in one zone but worked in the other.  Talk about confusing.

I have a very complicated relationship with candy corn... I don't like it but if it's there I can't stop eating it. It's so strange... 

Also, I like ice cream cake that's JUST ICE CREAM. Layer of ice cream... cookie bits... another layer of ice cream. The ice cream AND cake combos are icky because good cake isn't supposed to be frozen...

My cousin is 16 weeks pregnant and all she does is complain about it. I lied and told her my phone was broken and wouldn't be getting a new one until next week so I don't have to hear it. I can't tell her "It will be worth it" any more than I already have.

Yes!  I grew up in one of these towns on a state border.  It was such a pain in the ass, because people from the smaller town worked in our bigger town, and EVERYTHING is advertised in both times zones.  If someone says "Let's do 5:00" you always had to ask, "mine or yours?"  Super annoying.

 

I hate our house.  We just bought it last November, and it's huge and has several acres of woods and creek access and is old and should be perfect, but it sucks.  It's disjointed and has no storage and none of the character that I wanted and the upstairs is a total clusterfuck and I convinced myself that I loved it because DH loved the outside, but it's been awful.  We don't have the money for the complete gut job it'd take to fix it.  I thought he loved it so I sucked it up, but he recently had been giving hints that he wasn't happy here.  We both fnally said it out loud and even though it's a relief to get it out, we feel too stupid to move.  We don't have the money for the complete gut job it'd take to make it better.  I'm so disappointed in myself for jumping the gun.  If we do ever get pregnant, I can't imagine how it'd work layout-wise for a baby.

Holy hell.  It feels nice to type that out.

Maybe I should also add:  I don't know what "FFFC" stands for.  I might have just posted something totally ridiculous and unrelated?

That TOTALLY SUCKS about the house... I hope things will work out. 

Now even though I started the post today, I can't always remember what it stands for exactly either. It's Fucking Fun Friday Confession or something like that... In my head I always think "Friday Funtime Confesion" and ignore the extra F because that was my first impression and my brain has decided it will not intake any new information on the topic...

ADH0906 My SO and I bought what was supposed to be our "dream house" less than 2 years ago. After a year living in it, I started to despise it and it really brought me down.

I finally pulled the trigger and had a very long talk with my SO and we took the decision to move. We put our house on the market last week and go an offer 2 days ago.

We spend so much time in our house that it's not worth living somewhere that makes you uncomfortable.

As always...in hindsight, I'm being overly dramatic.  It's actually three old houses that were combined in the 20s, so to say that it doesn't have character is not true at all.  I guess really it's TOO full of character.  There are weird stairway landings and the bathrooms aren't really in handy spots.  But it's huge and sturdy and DH knocked through a wall in the bathroom to put in a closet under the stairs, and there are hardwoods under the carpet.  I painted test swatches on the walls. I'm just mourning my craftman dream.  We decided to give it three years or one toddler, whichever comes first   Thanks for the kind words though!

EDIT: must proof first!

You need Culvers Ice Cream Cake!
It's a block of ice cream with your choice of toppings (oreos, reeses, etc) and chocolate drizzle with a cookie crust. No cake involved!

That looks absolutely beautiful

ETA: I just looked up where Culvers are located. Sadly, none by me BUT there is one in Kalamazoo where my sister lives. I just got pretty excited about some things.

ETA: @macylynn27 You are the liar of all lies! Their website says that is a cake layer on the bottom! (Yes...I did just spend a good amount of time looking at their website)

I started typing this in the vow renewal thread, but thought it was probably more appropriate here since I always have a hard time coming up with a FFFC. Something about vow renewals rubs me the wrong way. If you are having a renewal that means you already vowed right? So why do you need to renew them when they should be forever. The only reason I find it acceptable is if someone broke those vows and it was worked through and the couple decides they want to start over. Otherwise it's an excuse for a party and sends the message that you didn't take the first time seriously so you're going to do it again. I feel this way regardless if it's been 5 years or 50. If you've already made it 50 years seems you're doing a pretty damn good job, just throw a party but leave out the vows. If you're only at 5, sorry you get one wedding not two, you don't get to stomp your feet and have a second.

I have a friend who hasn't even been married a year and is already on Pinterest planning her 9 year vow renewal (random, right?).  I think it's totally ridiculous and I don't think her marriage will last.  

Maybe my FFFC is that I actually hope her marriage doesn't work out for a variety of reasons.  She's also 'family' since she married DH's cousin.  If they divorce, we're on team cousin for sure.

I live in Arizona, and we don't do the whole daylight savings time thing.  But, some of the reservations located inside Arizona do daylight savings time.  So you could go back and forth to a few different times just by driving through the state. Just to make it more confusing

A while ago I had a really intense sex dream about me and a lady I work with who is a total fox. I am straight. I feel weird around her now and she asked me about it, but I can't tell her it's because I had a sex dream about her.

I have awkward sex dreams about women sometimes, but I'm always a man in them.  Things get very weird in dreamland.

Sometimes I silently cuss out parents who bring their toddlers in to my childcare center in skinny jeans. Do you know how much of a PITA it is to take off and put back on four pairs of shoes and four pairs of skinny pants so I can change four diapers three times a day??

Also no matter how much I try not to, I secretly judge one of my parents, whose two year old son has a gold stud in one ear.
