  @saladflambe That was a beautiful poem, you're my hero.
  

  
  

  My FFFC....I don't know why we call them Peggies. And I've been too lazy to look it up somewhere/embarrassed to ask. Where does that name come from?

  @saladflambe I sorta plan on leaving slightly early. Customers don't usually call us past 3pm on Fridays. Andplusalso, it's just me in the building for our department.
  
  I definitely sat outside for lunch with gusty winds because dammit I want to enjoy the sun and the vitamin D it gives me! Need to stockpile before winter when it gets gloomy 😂

  @whitealbum29 It's like the Southern statement, "Bless your heart, XXX" So we suggested Peggy (for Preggie) as a way to refer to these people without being like "Check out this crazy biotch...".  So they're all Peggy....

  @whitealbum29 kinda like the Karen "may I speak to your manager" type on the internet.
  
  Patrice probably would have been funny too

  I lied to all of you. I didn't go to Homegoods.
  I went to Trader Joe's and bought literally every pumpkin spice flavored thing they offer.

  If we’re doing food confessions... day 10/30 of this challenge and I just ate an entire chocolate bar. Not telling my SIL. I don’t feel that bad- it is CD 1 after all

  Booooo @b_1029! I ate an entire 3 Musketeers bar while wallowing.

  It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*

  I needed some caffeine this afternoon and the Dunkin I drove past wasn’t a drive thru (confession 1...I’m lazy) ... the next place I passed was a DQ so I had a moo-latte. Is there even actually coffee in that or was it just the sugar that gave me a jolt? I’m not sure that I even care, it was delicious
