FFFC!! Thank goodness we made it to Friday!

My FFFC: When reading through the FFFC thread every week, I call everyone an idiot (in my head, or at the computer screen) that still can't distinguish the difference in a FFFC and an unpopular opinion. Sometimes the post is neither, and I'm like wut?

I'm sitting in the waiting room for my biweekly checkup and even though I am pretty sure I'm going to get a lecture of gaining too much weight in a 3 week span, I'm mentally deciding which breakfast wrap I'll be stopping to pick up on my way home. It is Friday after all!

Haha I'm in the same boat with the weight gain! I'm planning to go out for a big breakfast with BFF immediately after my check-up on Monday, during which I'm sure I'll be told that I gained too much again. Sorry, not sorry, OB!

mcp6286 I didn't end up getting a lecture even though I know it was too much to gain in a short time. 6 lbs in 3 weeks... Whoops. OB told me to give myself a break since we are grieving my FIL, and that some of it is probably because I've been having trouble going to the bathroom regularly. The breakfast wrap was totally delicious though!!

The past few bonuses I've received from work have been approximately $2-3k. I always tell DH a lesser figure and get payroll to deposit $1k into my separate account so throughout the year I can spend that on silly things without him knowing. This is the first year I won't be doing it.

Maybe a little remediation is in order?  Who has a good gif we can use to call out non-legit FFFCs?  Otherwise, you're right.  It might as well just be another daily randoms thread.

LOL!  Now THAT'S a juicy FFFC!  I get checks from various entities throughout the year, and I always thought when I got married I'd have a separate account for me to deposit fun money into, but then when I really did get married, I realized, hey, he's never said one damn thing about any of my for-fun purchases, so why bother hiding it?

I may or may not have hosted a Southern Charm party last Memorial Day Weekend where the theme was to bust out your best Lily Pulitzer and drink bourbon and gin before breakfast. Flame away Lily Pulitzer haters.

I'm pretty sure I would be willing to wear anything if it meant I got to drink Bourbon for breakfast without judgment.

The only thing breakfast bourbon tells me about you is that you're someone I like.

One of our two dogs was a foster-fail. (I.e., we agreed to foster him while he was up for adoption, but I couldn't let him go, so we adopted him.) DH has since prohibited fostering dogs in our house. ("We will NOT have three dogs.")

Sooo... I just emailed the SPCA and offered to foster a dog they rescued from a Korean meat factory. DH doesn't know. BUT I COULDN'T RESIST.

There is local rescue that I'm DYING to work with. They are so amazing. Fiance though has also put his foot down on a firm "NO" to fostering for now because he is certain that every single dog we foster will end up as a foster failure and we will have 78 dogs on top of our two. Because I.MUST.SAVE.ALL.THE.DOGS.

This is why I am also not allowed to foster. They would never leave and my husband knows it.

I read today that for people who are the gambling sort (or just like making predictions), if Prince William and Kate's upcoming baby is a girl, they're predicting/betting on Alice for the name, which is one of the names we've chosen.

I hope they have another boy.

I'm flying from Seattle to Los Angeles for the weekend and there were no aisle seats available but I got a window. I kindly asked the aisle gal in my row if she had interest in a window seat since I'll sure I'll be getting up quite a bit (cuz blood clots and peeing ya know?). Definitely rockin my bump. She just made this disgusted look and shook her head. So I apologized in advance for the frequency I will be getting up from my seat.

So this leads me to my FFFC that I'm gonna get up an extra time during this flight just to piss her off.

ThePalindromicOne make it your goal to get up every 20mins.

I need a lesson. Maybe because all the posts are similar I've never been able to tell what each is really supposed to be.

Mid-read I'm going "I would totally be drinking water non-stop and peeing every five minutes, just because." So glad we're all on the same page! Who doesn't want a window seat?!

This also reminds me of our flight back from Mexico early second tri. Our flights ended up a huge mess due to inspection issues and we ended up taking off 2 hours late and landing in the wrong city. At this point, I was dehydrated from never being able to get enough bottled water in Mexico and was quickly getting a raging migraine. As we finally landed back home, I couldn't hold back anymore and knew I was going to vomit. I very discreetly pulled out the provided bag and ducked my head between my legs so no one had to witness it. Girlfriend three seats over and one row back is blatantly side-eyeing me and giving me the most disgusted face. Uhh would you rather I have done it in your lap than discreetly in the bag?!

During my whole glucose test all I could think about was how I'd splurge this weekend just in case I get the call Monday saying I have GD....
