FFFC!

Flame Free (or Flame-ful) Friday Confessions!

Happy Friday, everyone.

Maebb

My day yesterday was really sucky, and I didn't get home until 9:20 (Costco sandwiches FTW for dinner), DS didn't get in bed until 10, and I was just exhausted and wanted a drink.

So I had a calimocho (kalimotxo?) - Coke Zero with a splash of red wine. I hit three pregnancy no-no's with one drink - alcohol, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners.

My DH commutes to grad school on Thursdays and doesn't get home until late. Usually I pick something for myself and MIL but didn't last night so we were both just going to make due. She ate sardines and plantains. She's Dominican so I guess that's an acceptable meal.

I made a peanut butter, marshmallow, and chocolate sandwich and it was maybe the best thing I've ever tasted. Been thinking about another one all night and it might end up being breakfast!

We were going to travel over Thanksgiving to the Ozarks. The weather isn't looking the greatest, so my husband and I decided to cancel. He's really disappointed. I am secretly relived. I hate traveling when pregnant for any sort of distance, especially with a two year old. Oh and we are going to get all trash-tastic and have a date night at Hooters followed by a trip to the casino on Saturday.

I am a actually excited about Pitch Perfect 2. My H even likes the first one.

my fffc: I was once jazzed about obamacare because I thought it would help a lot of people. then I worked in a doctors office and saw first hand what a mess it was. then my own private insurance went up hundreds of dollars. not so jazzed anymore.

Breakfast #1 - two pieces of a Costco turkey roll-up sandwich

Breakfast #2 - half of a sausage egg and cheese biscuit

Breakfast #3 - a chocolate "muffin" (let's be real - a chocolate cupcake with chocolate chips but no icing) from the cafeteria at work

I am on a roll today.

Showering/putting on bra is such a chore I only do it on work days.

I work on the second floor and for the past two weeks, as long as I don't see anyone I know, I have been taking the elevator because stairs are hard (really I am just lazy).

@ExcitedMama2 - me toooo!!! It sucks. Is it just a stuffy nose or are there other symptoms too? Are you taking anything? I hope you feel better really soon.

My nose is so red that I just had to put a little concealer on. I must look freaking fantastic today

I have to blow my nose so frequently now that I've stopped going to the bathroom at work to do it, I just do it at my desk. They're super nasty nose blows too, I don't know how it's possible to produce this much snot in such a short period of time.

This has been me pretty much since the pee stick dried.

I found out at the OB on Monday that, at 33w, I've gained what I had gained by the time I went for my induction with DD1...  I was slightly upset about it.  So I self-medicated and made cake the next night and it's about 3/4 of the way gone already...

Maebb

@Lanatir, I'm also at the weight I was when I delivered DS (at 39w2d with DS), and I'm only 31w4d. Oh well, we have 9 months to lose it, right?

FFFC- Sometimes my terrible pregnancy farts are so loud that they startle my DS(10 mo). They literally make him jump. Ha!

longcat07

@Lanatir - i'm +2lb (as of 32w) compared to where i was with DS (who was delivered at 37w), after the same starting weight both times.  to be fair though, i was that weight at 32w...then i lost about 4lb over the next couple weeks, and then just barely gained back 2 of those before the end.  stoked that my weight gain slowed though...i'd put on 9lb between 27 and 30w, and only 2 between 30 and 32w.  down to 1lb a week from 3lb a week, lol.  the nurse said it'll probably drop down to 1/2lb a week too.  i'm hopeful.  lol

my FFFC...i didn't feel like making dinner last night, so we had hot dogs.  but i didn't feel like eating hot dogs either.  in fact, i didn't feel like eating at all.  so i ate a brownie and an apple.  the apple makes it better, right? 

edited because i fail at simple math.

Should I be going to the bathroom when I blow my nose? I feel like I've been committing a major breach in etiquette my whole life....

haha I don't know that there's specific etiquette for this...  Just PLEASE don't blow your nose at a dining table if it can be helped.  And ex-bf of mine did this ALL THE TIME.  It is one of the reasons he is an ex.  DISGUSTING.

Same here... there are some things that annoy me if you do them at your desk (cutting your nails) but blowing your nose doesn't... Unless you sound like a fog horn and do it all the time...

Maebb

I think noses should be blown in the bathroom because it's good to wash your hands afterwards. Plus I like to look in the mirror afterwards to make sure there's nothing left behind. But sometimes I'll do it at my desk if it's just small. I agree that dinner table is gross.

If I had to go to the bathroom every time I have to blow my nose, I'd be living there this week.

My vote for dinner is ice cream and a nap.

Add me to those with sinus issues....mine have been since the BFP. It's essentially been the longest cold/allergy attack/ sinus infection of my life. Pregnancy rhinitis I believe they call it? It's a flipping nightmare

My nose has been running like a faucet plus I've been having constant gross, bloody boogers for weeks now. I normally blow my nose in the bathroom, the break room, or if I really have to, I'll gently blow it at my desk. 

I don't care if other people blow their nose at their desks - if you have a proper desk or cubicle - but my office has open plan seating and my coworkers are three feet away from me on all sides. I have caught disgusting sicknesses at least 3 times in the year that I've worked here due to having coworkers cough/hack/snort/sniff/honk all over the place. [-(

So that is my two cents. No snot pollution.

Ditto to this.

I blow my nose at my desk constantly... it is how my 'neighbours' know I came in.

I also have hand sanitizer for afterwards, although I don't always bother now because I am not sick just hormone stuffy
