Let's hear those Flame Free Friday Confessions, ladies!

***WARNING: May not actually be flame free***

I always tell my students the importance of doing their homework and being prepared and I did not finish my lesson plans last night so I'm winging it at 5 a.m.

DH and I just got our offer accepted on a house and we close in October (1st time home buyers) so we agreed to not eat out until we close, I've already broken that rule twice and we just made the agreement on Monday   I'm feeling so guilty! LOL

I told DH I have to work late tonight on a project at my new job but I don't. I'm actually going to get a deluxe spa pedicure complete with a glass of champagne at this really nice nail salon near my work. It's been A LONG WEEK and I need it. DH doesn't understand why I pay to have someone paint my toes when I have over 100 bottles of nail polish at home...clearly he does not understand the amazingness that is a spa pedicure. What he doesn't know won't hurt him right!?

I told my friend I'd go for a walk with her today but I'm going to tell her I'm not feeling well because it's my only day off and I just wanna stay in my pjs

mrsschmity

I'm drinking an entire pot of coffee this morning. By myself. Maybe two if I feel real ambitious. My motivation needs it to get through work today, even though I'm working from home.

Also, when I'm at home I always drink my coffee out of my Good Morning Beautiful cup - just one of those weird things that brightens my day a little. Well.... my Good Morning Beautiful cup is in the dishwasher, so I'm drinking out of H's Good Morning Handsome cup. Kind of the same thing? I'm handsome too, right?

@stylist001 ummm absolutely agree! DH has finally accepted that pedicures are going to happen no matter what so he has stopped complaining lol but to me there is NOTHING better after a crappy week than getting a pedicure with a drink in hand! Treat Yo Self!!

@stylist001 - treat yourself! After a crazy week at work you need time to relax and get ready for the weekend! Enjoy!

@AshPat0525 - congrats on the house! 

DH and I have a birthday party to go to on Saturday night - it's an 1 hour and a half away with no sleeping arrangements made so we're not going. I have yet to RSVP as a No and we decided to go to the football game instead.

@AshPat0525 Congratulations on the house! 

I had plans with a friend tonight but another friend offered her an extra ticket to a sold out concert, so she just called to ask if I minded if we rescheduled.  I acted disappointed but really I almost always get excited when plans get cancelled because that means I get to stay home with my book and go to bed early.

I'm secretly kind of hoping I'm BFN because I want to partake at friend's bachelorette party next weekend.

This whole TTC journey has been celebrated and assuaged by drinking the entire time.  2015...the year of drinking all the time.

I took a couple of hours off this afternoon to go look at cars with DH but we bought a car last night. I'm still taking the time off and not telling my employer.

@mrstmoose What did you buy?  (inquiring minds)

Glad I'm not the only one. Here is a non-inclusive list of reason I've drank so far in my TTC process: 

• I got my period, so I'm not pregnant. Might as well drink up!
• I'm just getting off my period--let's celebrate!
• I'm about to ovulate-- let's celebrate! 
• I'm in my TWW, I'll just have a couple beers instead of a whole bottle of wine. I'm totally making healthy decisions, so I'll reward myself with a third beer. 
• Well, if I am KTFU this month, I won't be able to drink for 9+ months. Might as well drink now before the fetus develops the placenta! 
• Wait, is that an implantation dip? Drink to celebrate!
• Not an implantation dip. AF is coming today... break out the wine.
• Luteal phase is super short. Dr. Google tells me I'm doomed and I'll never get pregnant. Vodka can make this better. 

Aaaaand repeat.

I think I'm bailing on going to the beach with DH's family next weekend. I do not want to deal with having to put on my happy face all weekend and attempting to fight insomnia in a strange, uncomfortable bed. I just want to sleep in my bed at home and be alone for a few days. DH is still going to go. 

WorkingOnMyNightCheese

I'm supposed to running errands and editing photos on my day off but instead I'm going for a hike and getting coffee. Sorrynotsorry.

stylist001

saladflambe do you girl! I skip all sorts of things with my inlaws. Sometimes I just need me time or I'm not in the right mind set to handle things like that. Put yourself first.

@AshPat0525 Congratulations on the house! 

************Pregnancy mentioned***************

I will be celebrating AF this weekend by stopping by total wine tonight and buying several bottles of wine! We are going over to our friend's house and the wife it pregnant and due in October and she knows that we are TTC. So I will vent to her, and of course she will tell me it takes time to get pregnant, and blah blah blah. But she has no merits to speak because both times she got KU it was their first time trying. But it will be nice to talk to someone about how I have been feeling because DH doesn't understand.

My DH's birthday is coming up and he didn't buy me anything for my 30th so either I'm not buying him anything or a really good gift in attempt to make him feel guilty.  I feel like I should feel bad but I don't.  This was the only year I asked him to plan my birthday party and he knew how much I have built up my 30th and he failed and messed up so bad and one of my friends is still not on good terms with us.  The birthday day was only saved because by best friend came in town for a week and the two of us went up to NYC for a couple days.  He just started a new job the month before so he could not take off work. 

 He sucks so bad at planning, mostly due to procrastination (always claims that it's too early to start planning) and I'm scared and already mad when we have a kid all the planning and organizing will be on me because I think he will screw it up.... Now this my confession.

@jhems776 That's awful. 

I'm at work, not working, and there is a client that is shopping our prices and also not sure if they're using us for a certain portion of a contracted job, so no, I won't be rushing to get you a schedule.  NOPE.

I have a friend coming into town who I'm supposed to hang out with at some point, but she is staying with another one of her friends who I can't stand.  Every time this happens I feel like I get dragged into hanging out with both of them, which I hate.  I'm hoping we can do something while friend I don't like is at work and be done with it.

I also lied to one of my other friends and told her I couldn't hang out Saturday morning because I was going to be hanging out with this friend who is in town, when in reality DH and I have passes to go to this roof top pool at a local gym and we want to use them before they expire, and we want to get there early to make sure we can get lounge chairs.

Every month I creep on the possible BMB I could belong to.

stylist001

I've got another one. I just started a new job and the woman who is training me is out today. My training has been RIDICULOUSLY slow here. I spend days doing absolutely nothing but online shopping and hanging out on the Bump. Today I'm "reading" these insurance books for a course I'm taking but I have my E-reader hidden underneath and I'm secretly reading an awesome book not the boring insurance manual.

yogahh

Not flame worthly.. but I am telling DH I am working late today, as I need to check out a few locations to throw his surprise 40th birthday party!! I am SO excited! Its not until January, but its going to be hella expensive so I need to get a deposit on it now so I can start saving for it.  I hope he is like this when we all yell "surprise!"

I secretly hope I have next Tuesday off. The tropical storm on its way is looking like it may be closer to work and work may close bc they don't want us driving in. The storm isn't going to be a hurricane when it gets here and it's really just going to rain all day so I don't feel too bad. I feel like living in Florida my whole life pretty much has gotten me too used to storms like this. I know Labor Day is coming up, but I want a day off...

On the plus side, my lead said my team can work from home that day if we don't want to come in... So there's that I guess.

I have been using a regular thermometer to track my temps. I am only 1 full cycle of temping in, but there was a clear shift. If I keep seeing clear temp shifts I figure why get a BBT.

May16 has already seen some drama... *me too guise!*

sorarose

I have two.

1) DH begs me not to buy tubs of ice cream because he can't limit himself. We usually purchase individually wrapped cones, bars, etc. All these things are reduced fat and/or frozen yogurt. Well, I've had a busy and crappy week with work and the grocery store didn't have the cones we compromise on. So I bought a tub of ice cream. And I'm going to enjoy it, damnit!

**TW: CHILD MENTIONED**

2) Also at the grocery store, DS dropped his pacifier somewhere. A high school student  found it and obviously walked around the store to find us. Very nice! Well, he then proceeded to tell me he was on the football team, and they were doing a fundraiser, which included $20 worth of coupons. Instead of returning the favor, I told him we don't use many of those places (kind of a lie) and that I know the high school and might go there another time to do it. I'm a horrible person.

Update- I found a perfect location for the hubs 40th bday party. Now I am on my couch, buzzed on pumpkin beer. And it's only 3:30. I love half day Fridays!

lalalorelai

Am I the only person who can't stomach lurking on BMBs? I've tried a few times and it just makes me feel even worse about not being pregnant yet.

I read that cookies bake better when the dough has been refrigerated for a day or more. Now when I make cookies, I bake the first half (because obviously I can't wait a day). Then the second half is slowly eaten raw straight from the fridge.
