My FFFC is that I'm MAD AT ALL OF YOU because the board was so slow yesterday. You made me lurk the other boards and wow they are boring. I'm glad I'm on this one because you are all generally cooler than what I'm reading in other months.
Ok that one was lame but I'm working from home today along with my husband so I'm sure I'll have more. Probably along the lines of "I'm going to kill my husband"
DS has been awake for 2.5 hours and we have watched TV the whole time. If DH was here this would SO not be happening. He is the screen time nazi. I am so mentally exhausted right now injust don't care.
@JessDG is it bad I’m more terrified of having to entertain DS (almost 3) for 2 weeks if daycare shuts down than I am of Coronavirus...all the screen time...
@footdrbritt same. That sounds like hell. And the usual tactics like going to the museum or some kind of play center would obviously not be advisable during that time. Really hoping it doesn't come to that in my area...
My FFFC is that I had a peanut butter and peep sandwich for supper last night and I HAVE NO REGRETS. I was following the COVID stuff on twitter too much yesterday and by the time I got home I was just in an « eff it all » mood. I’ll try to eat some veggies today to balance things out.
My favorite tweet so far: « COVID spelled backwards is DIVOC. What DIVOC is going on? »
Maybe more of a UO than a FFFC but I've been sitting on it for a while and here it goes: rose wine is trash and I don't get why everyone is so obsessed with it.
@mehugg 100% depends on the kind of rose for me. Beringer white zinfandel is absolute trash, that I can get behind, but there are a lot of really delicious (to me) dry roses out there.
@stlbuckeye132 agree. It's never my first choice, but every once in a while, especially if it's summer and I'm sitting outside, I get in the mood for a dry rose. But I'd say it's rare. But now that I'm typing this I kind of want one. Or maybe I just want to be able to sit outside with any beverage and relax lol.
@mehugg an owner at restaurant I worked on many years ago told me that rose was just the shit white and shit red mixed together, (no idea how true it is, I just always remember it ) . I don't love wine (or beer). When I drink wine I drink sweet white stuff that most grown ups curl their noses at lol.
@mrsdrez not to sound like a wine snob, but I can confirm that's not true! MH and I went on a trip to Napa for our first anniversary, and while out there we learned rose is made from the same grapes as red wine. The difference is they remove the skins of the grape at an earlier point in the process for roses than they do for reds.
FFFC - I'm definitely eyeballing some of the fancy restaurants that normally have a 2 month wait and seeing if they get any openings for this weekend. I'm not sure if this makes me a bad person or just hungry.
@pocketrose restaurants are going to be so hard hit. A few fancy places in our area are removing tables so that all guests can practice social distancing. Not perfect but it does help a bit. I just feel bad for folks in service industries right now.
@mrs_sheddy because buffalo chicken is sent straight from the gods! There is a restaurant near us that has a dish called buffalo chicken totchos- a bed of tater tots topped with buffalo chicken and ranch. It is beyond amazing. I crave it on the regular, pregnant and not pregnant! And now I’m thinking we will be going there for lunch
@mrs_sheddy I was a vegetarian for many years and one of my favorite meals was dredging a veggie burger (or chicken) patty in Frank's buffalo sauce and dipping it in ranch. When I waited tables at Denny's that was my supper every night, veggie burger doused in buffalo sauce plus side order of seasoned fries with ranch. I was not a healthy vegetarian as a teen, obviously, but damn that was good.
@rachelredhead PB and PEEPS?!!! So judging you right now, I think peeps are some of the grossest things on earth 😂 I know PB and marshmallow sandwiches are a thing, so I guess not too far off haha.
@mehugg I also hate rosé 😬 although I will say that last summer when my SIL, MIL, and I were drinking around the world in Epcot, the Frosé slushee thing was delicious. It was also like the second to last (or so) stop so I might just been drunk and hot 🤷🏼♀️
Talking about the FL trip we took last year reminded me of a good FFFC. I went with my SIL and MIL and we were staying at someone else in the family’s condo. It’s one of those places where the hallways are all outdoors and concrete. It was like a million degrees when we went (June) so I chugged a solid 4 bottles of water when we were sitting down by the pool and suddenly REALLY had to pee. It was so urgent that I was like ok not even going to try to figure out where the public bathroom is (if there even is one) so I’ll just go up to the condo. Couldn’t get the door unlocked for what felt like at least 5 min. In retrospect I should’ve just jumped into the pool haha but I tried to run back downstairs to do just that and just started peeing everywhere, could not stop it. I guess I thought the best thing to do was to run up and down the hallway while peeing rather than do it all in one spot so there was just pee freaking everywhere. Since I was no longer panicked I was able to get the door open (I had been trying to get the wrong lock open before it turns out) and I didn’t know wtf to do so I started filling a pot and trying to dump it on my pee 😂 it was a mess, and it’s not like it had been raining so there was no way to explain all the liquid in the hallway lol. To top it off there was an open house in the condo next door so I kept hearing people walking down the hallway once I was inside and was just like JFC, someone just put me out of my embarrassment misery. I heard someone asking SIL what happened when they were coming back to the condo and about died. I’ve never told them what happened and I never will...nothing like being 30 and full on pissing yourself.
@b_1029 That is amazing. My aunts have a similar story but they were at a hotel and alcohol was involved lol. Once one peed her pants, it was a chain a reaction after the others were laughing so hard they all peed their pants.. They almost pee themselves laughing every time they tell the story haha.
I have been craving waffles. The waffles that I love are not agreeing with me, and give me the runs. Having the runs has not stopped the waffle cravings, so I eat the waffles, knowing full well it will give me an upset stomach. In light of the current toilet paper situation around the country, I should probably stop eating waffles so that I can be more conscious about my toilet paper usage. But they are soooooooo gooooooooood.
@b_1029 DYING! That is amazing. And for the record, I also hate peeps. We bought them because my husband had never blown them up in the microwave before and I just felt like he needed to experience that (I am 39, he is 44). But last night I wanted a PB sandwich with something super sweet and that's what we had on hand. I am VERY disappointed in myself that I did not remember we had dark chocolate bars in the cupboard. That would have been way better. But I still have no regrets.

@JessDG you gotta do what you gotta do to get through the day. Your son will be just fine!
😂

Now I need some buffalo sauce.

@mrsdrez that’s hilarious about your aunts!
@stlbuckeye132 I don’t love rose... but I can get down with a glass or two on a hot night. Dry red is more my jam though
