I don't tell my husband about 75% of the times I get a breakfast sandwich or an iced tea latte on the way to work. He wouldn't care, but I feel guilty spending money when I could make them at home.

Ugh! fem, don't you love that. I personally wouldn't ever comment on someone's choice of eating habits, but really ketchup is what you are most concerned about? Can you imagine if she saw the cookie I had after lunch.
I work next door to Nordstrom. Now that I know it's a boy, I want to buy some baby things even though we don't really need any. I'll go at lunch to see if they have cute things on sale and get my lemonade form their café. It looks delish!
I want to start buying things off my registry just so I can see "x things have been purchased".
That's always fun. Plus, if it's with BRU, you get a % back on what you spend! I totally stalked mine before my shower last time. I wanted to be surprised, but it was sooo easy to look and my curiosity got the better of me! Spoiler alert: the majority of my gifts were not off my registry. Like, 3-4 things from them. I got great stuff, and was/am totally thankful to have gotten anything at all! But yeah, most people didn't pay attention to it.

2 different coworkers (both women) asked me this week "when they could touch my belly". The first time I replied with a laugh, "when I can touch yours, haha." She said, "anytime" & sort of pushed her belly out like I could touch it. Dafuq?? Weirdos.

This is just a random - Yesterday my co-worker made a point to come tell me how I should be careful because ketchup has a lot of sugar in it.
Really?! Let me eat ketchup in peace, please.
I had a coworker tell me to lay off the carrots because there's so much sugar in them. Dude, I'm eating carrots and hummus. Back off. It's not like I was eating a candy bar!

I don't like McDonald's, for the most part. But, I wanted iced tea on the way home from jury duty on Tuesday (my group was dismissed! Yay!) So I stopped at McDonald's to get a large iced tea. I ended up getting the 2 cheeseburger combo with large fries and the iced tea. Oops lol. It sounded good, and baby liked it lol. I did share some with my 16 month old when I got to my mom's lol.

Oh, I have another one. So, I had jury duty, and I was still waiting to find out when my next u/s would be to check on my placenta, and I was so worried I'd have to serve and my u/s would be scheduled for a time when I was in court... so, I made sure to wear something that made me look super pregnant hoping that would help me get out of it lol. We never got far enough for it to matter, but yea lol, I did that.

My Aunt once told me she was giving up ketchup for mustard because it had so much less sugar. As she was drinking a Coke with her meal....
This reminds me of when I was working at Friendly's in college. A couple came in and split the appetizer sampler, each got a burger with fries, and sundaes. She was halfway through her meal and needed a drink refill. I thought it was coke and she flipped out that it was Diet Coke. Really lady?
Ps. I know some people are very picky about their sodas but she was a little extreme.

This might be a TMI more than a FFCF, but here it goes.
I throw up bile pretty much every morning and since I usually pee a little while doing so, my favourite place to throw up is while I shower.
Well, that's just practical.
I think we've picked a name. It happens to also be my niece's name, which is why I hadn't wanted to use it up front, but nothing else fits. I guess my confession is that I'm beyond caring if that bothers anyone (one hopes it would not, as it's a very common name and they'll have different nicknames, but who knows).
FFFC: I have kept kosher for Passover the full 8 days each year my whole life. I broke it twice this year to eat buffalo chicken dip with tortilla chips. I feel like a fraud but the baby really wanted buffalo chicken dip.

So, this is racy but I posted it on my other BMB so let's jump right in... When I was a stripper (don't they all start like that?) there was a smoking patio just for employees out back. I used to sit out there with other girls and smoke weed. Well, there was this bouncer Greg who I didn't really get along with. And he and the manager BUST through the door one night so I shoved my pipe, lighter and small sack of weed between my thighs. Greg goes, "see! I told you! Tamara (my stage name at the time) has something bad!" Well, I had already been in trouble for doing and selling drugs before so I wouldn't get any more chances. The manager is all, "Tamara! What do you have?! Stand up!" I'm sweating bullets. So I squeeze my thighs together as tight as I can, pull my sheer sarong-thing so it's covering my lap like an apron and slowly stand up. Luckily my thigh clenching worked. I looked all indignant like, "WTF are you hassling me for?" The manager looked at Greg confused and Greg was all, "I know she had something bad when I walked out before!" I was all, "what Greg? What the fuck did I have that was BAD when you walked out before?!?!" Greg just stood there looking and feeling dumb. And then (I shit you not,) he goes, "I think she had a dildo!" All the girls including me on the patio start cracking up. The manager just looks at me, knowing I'm into girls and knowing having a dildo on the patio was actually something I'd probably do. I looked really somber, looked him dead in the eyes and told him, "[Manager,] I did have a dildo before... But I put it away. I promise not to bring it out again." Manager was all, "C'mon Tamara we can get shut down for shit like that." I'm like, "I know. I'm sorry. I promise. Thanks Greg, for telling on me and making sure to keep this place dildo-free." So that was the night I kept my job by pretending a sack of weed and paraphanelia was actually a dildo. And on the bean's life, I swear it's a true story.

Ha! During pregnancy, all bets are off when it comes to cravings!

thiscoffeechick nothing I've done in my life comes close to that confession. I feel so boring.
Random: Just had Kindergartners eating in my office. Once boy yells out 'excuse me, I farted' right after he tells me to keep the trash can beside him just in case he throws up.
I love kids but sometimes I miss being around adults.
