It's Friday and it's time for your flame-free Friday confessions*

*flame-free not guaranteed

ShadeofGreen816 · August 2016

Here's one - AF is "late" by 3 days right now, but I'm having a birthday party tomorrow and it would be weird if I didn't drink so if it hasn't shown up, I'll be waiting to test until Sunday....

Backstory is is that we are TTA and didn't have any slip ups this month in condom compliance so I'm 97% sure I just Oed late but the BSC is in full swing. Mostly bc I'm dying (obviously) to be KU, but as far as school goes, this might be the worst month for it to happen... Which totally means it happened, right?

PS. that last question is OBVIOUSLY rhetorical.

Marley629 · August 2016

I've never had Chipotle ::covers face in shame::

thatcma · August 2016

I should have packed a lunch today to continue my weight loss (lost .6lbs in the last week!) but I was lazy this morning so I will be going to Wendy's for lunch instead.

lulu1180 · August 2016

@EEL0824 Wendy's has some really great options for healthy eating! I usually get a garden side salad and a small chili or grilled chicken wrap.

thatcma · August 2016

@lulu1180 I have never tried their grilled chicken wrap, perhaps today is the day! Thank you for the suggestions. I can't eat their chili because of the sauce--it will give me a migraine.

firebaby688 · August 2016

I can't stand Glee. I get very upset that they've stolen some of their arrangements without permission too.

lulu1180 · August 2016

@EEL0824 I tried it on a whim once and love it now! It has a sweet honey mustard sauce on it; I usually don't like honey mustard but I love that one.

Dilynne · August 2016

I got a little super wasteypants last night and one of the girls at work brought in wine because I had a breakdown at work yesterday. I'm going to partake in all of it because day drinking is okay sometimes.

thatcma · August 2016

@Dilynne you are not alone. I have friends that day drink once a month, lol

mrsdaddario · August 2016

@Marley629 In my humble opinion, Moe's is 10x better than Chipolte. Don't get me wrong, I'll eat Chipolte. But only if there isn't a Moe's close by lol.

slam1110 · August 2016

@Marley629 @mrsdaddario Moe's is by far my favorite. I don't care for either Tijuana Flats (which I feel like everyone LOOOOOVES) or Chipotle. Welcome to MOES!!!

slam1110 · August 2016

My FFFC....I have no willpower to get any work done today...and I will probably put on my time sheets for the day I was mostly "organizing office, filing paperwork, etc, etc" And my desk looks like a hurricane came through...whoops...

eggplantface · August 2016

On Wednesday my boss asked me to fill in for someone who was supposed to give a presentation this Monday about my organization's writing style, part of an entry-level training dealie. I'm an expert on this, I know what I'm doing, but I'm still struggling with the "imposter syndrome" telling me "I'm actually a fraud and they'll find out when I have to explain this and have no idea what I'm saying." Their course evaluations are hanging over my head....

And I'm afraid to express my nervousness to anyone at work because I want to convey confidence and competence and expertise. I can do it. I can do it.

I'll bring candy so they like me.

MotherofDragons · August 2016

@Dilynne the best way to drink is to day drink. Enjoy that wine!

chocolatelemons · August 2016

@EEL0824 Wendy's is my weakness, especially their fries.

thatcma · August 2016

@chocolatelemons I agree. Well it's actually their 10 piece nugget meal with a frosty that gets me. I keep telling myself I will be good and get the grilled wrap to be a good girl...but we shall see...

chocolatelemons · August 2016

@EEL0824 I love the frosty's too. Ugh. Now I want Wendy's. Maybe I'll start my weekend with a treat. The best part is, I just finished my acupuncture appointment and we were talking about food choices. Haha, I'm pretty sure Wendy's wasn't what she had in mind.

abmommy15 · August 2016

H and I got a notification that we are at 90% of our data usage and only half way through the month. He thinks he had an app running in the background using all the data. In reality I forgot to turn my wi-fi back on and it's definitely me that used the data but I'm going to let him keep thinking it was him.

And you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

Pinky917 · August 2016

DH and I are supposed to go to a BBQ tomorrow, and if we do I totally plan on using the start of AF as a tool to make DH drive. I obviously need all of the beers....

abmommy15 · August 2016

@Pinky917 I make DH drive most of the time and tell him that hopefully before too long he is going to get 9+ months of designated driver.

beary67 · August 2016

@mrsdaddario @slam1110 you two just became my best friends. I would go to Moes every day if I could. In fact, I may swing by there for lunch today

beary67 · August 2016

My FFFC is I'm currently at the car dealership for an oil change. Back in February, I had a recal and oil change on my car but the shop didn't have the part they needed for the recall and didn't bother to tell me they didn't complete the recall despite the fact they kept my car for half a day. I didn't find out until later that week when they called and told me the part was now in. I politely complained and was given a free oil change and tire rotation. I used that free oil change and rotation in May. As I was checking in today, the kind gentleman told me I still have the free oil change to use. No one marked it as 'used' in the system. So now I'm waiting for my second free oil change in the past 4 months.

NYTino24 · August 2016

I already don't like one of my new temporary coworkers because her name is spelled one letter differently than mine but pronounced differently and my boss called me her name. Ugh! Also, most of my friends and coworkers say they are going to keep calling me by my maiden name instead of my married last name and I am secretly thrilled! It's not a bad name, but my maiden name goes so well with my first!

Elyse1384 · August 2016

@abmommy15 yes the data plan blame game is real! That has totally happened in our household except I definitely blamed our son... a 2.5 year old [hangs head in shame]. A couple of times while out as a family we let DS watch a kids videos on youtube if service was extra extra slow and he was getting a bit antsy. Since that day if we get "the message" and DH knows it wasn't him, I blame it on the little guy. "Oh I was out running an errand that was taking really long and hold to block a looming meltdown by giving DS the phone". DH immediately backs off and accepts the excuse. Do I feel bad for blaming a 2.5 yr old... yeah. Will I stop? Not until DS is old enough to deny.

NYTino24 · August 2016

@elyse1384 @abmommy15 I blame my FitBit syncing!

mrsdaddario · August 2016

So my real FFFC, aside from liking Moe's better than Chipotle, (shout out @vbeary67 and @slam1110)

Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/3o72FfX8EBGz5cCQmI/giphy.gif

I'm on vacation all of next week. And I worked from home yesterday. This morning I had a bin full of things I should get done today. My boss has been in the office, so I couldn't fart around and actually got a lot of it done. But now she's not. And now I'm here. Farting around. And I won't get everything done that I need too. And I don't care.

MotherofDragons · August 2016

@antoto I thought I was the only one. We will be great friends.

@eggplantface Now I have Rocky Horror's Sword of Damocles stuck in my head

My FFFC is that stay the latest in my office, and sometimes at 5:30 I go around and take a piece of candy out of everyone's candy bowl and shove it in my face.

I just...

"Hey women who are trying desperately to have a healthy baby! I am actually trying not to have a baby but I might be pregnant and I'm going to drink anyway!"

So much side eye.

Perhaps I'm pointing out the obvious but you do realize that waiting to test doesn't change the fact that you are pregnant if you in fact are right?

magnolia131 · August 2016

My FFFC is that I was very much looking forward to having a half day at home today to catch up on a ton of work before school starts on Monday. I even promised myself I wouldn't bump or get distracted and woke up with a "get shit done" mentality. Well, DH's parking lot at work was flooding due to heavy rain, so HR sent everyone home early. He is completely ready to start his weekend and is being as distracting as can be. I should be happy to have him home, right? Ugh.

furbabymom2007 · August 2016

Totally had white cheddar popcorn for dinner last night. And polished off the bag for breakfast this morning.

lund · August 2016

My FFFC is that I love this thread.

And, my one and only coworker is gone today (yay small towns), so I think I've actually worked for about 10 minutes today.

About to head down the street to my friend's office (again, yay small towns) to start beer-thirty a little earlier than planned.

BitterBetty12 · August 2016

My FFFC is that after reading @furbabymom2007 FFFC, my dinner tonight will consist of white cheddar popcorn, and some other kind of junk food that I'm not sure of yet.

ShadeofGreen816 · August 2016

Sorry, because I did NOT mean to be offensive. I'm apparently not very good at conveying my feelings via internet words. We did NOT have any unprotected BD this month so I know I'm not KU. I would be 100% thrilled if I were and would definitely plan to take excellent care of myself and said hypothetical baby. Which makes the BSC think maybe I somehow made a mistake in tracking sex or something.

I had decided after thinking today that I would need to test before I go tomorrow so that I don't have any doubts. I'm sorry that my quick mobile bumping while still lying in bed this morning was poorly thought out.

I hope I can one day be forgiven

Headed back to Lurkdom...

ETA: Thanks for the reality check, for real. I made myself test - BFN as expected. Maybe my real FFFC is that my BSC makes me think that getting KU is as easy as they told us in health class in HS.

kiwi2628 · August 2016

My FFFC-

a) Moes is one BILLION times better than Chipotle (and Chipotle sucks and has TERRIBLE ethics anyway, so fuck them)

b) I left work early because I'm 'sick'. Aka, I didnt wanna be there anymore

BitterBetty12 · August 2016

@kiwi2628 Yes!! Moes is seriously the best. I prefer it literally 95% of the time to chipotle. It's cheaper and yummier. But every once in a while I crave chipotle. Also that sounds like a fantastic reason to leave work! Early weekend. Woo.
