FFC Friday

[milano]

My life has been full of awkwardness this week. Please share your confessions as well.

[milano]

I said "excuse me" to a mannequin this morning, in a store. People were near and definitely heard.

[milano]

Sunday I was hanging lights on my porch, up on a ladder reaching above my head. After like an hour of me being outside, which included several conversations with my neighbors (including my brand new neighbor next door who I never had met before), MH comes out to check on me and says "nice underwear, are you showing them off?". The fly of my high waisted jeans was unzipped. So a huge zipper, absolutely my bright pink lace underwear were extremely visible anytime I reached up at all, neighbors definitely saw them unless they were blind.


I was ready to list the house and move, so fucking embarrassing. And, once I zipped them up, it was a very noticeable difference in how they felt which leads me to believe they had been unzipped all day, which also means I went to home depot and the grocery store like that. NEAT!

Fergus' hair is a beast to keep brushed, such tight curls, and I thought we had been keeping up with it but he went to the groomer's yesterday and was such a mess she had to shave him. I'm embarrassed that this happened anyway, because his fluff is my favorite, but he ran out of patience before she could finish clipping his feet and his balls, so I picked him up and he is going back in a couple days for her to finish.

May I present, a mustached ball sac and fur boots, on my dog.

I am making my husband walk him until he gets fixed because I'm mortified. *I do love my groomer. She is awesome*

[charlotte]

Omg. Don’t tell Fergus, but I burst out in laughter when I saw him.

[mapleme]

There are a lot of men in this world who would probably love to have a nice ball emphasizing mustache.

I’ve been playing tug of war with a manager and VP on what a group should be named.

I’m about ready to put “WTF pick a name” team.

I work with toddlers.

[ovenrack]

Alyssa Milano!

I giggled at #1. I laughed at #2. I cried at #3. Thank you for the Friday gift of laughter.

Aw poor Fergus! It’ll all grow back in no time! Francis has a similar coat. We have to get him groomed every 6 weeks and I keep him short for this very reason. Mud in the spring and fall, heat in the summer, and snow in the winter. Everything sticks to his fur and he mattes so easily. He doesn’t ever get to enjoy a “doodle cut”. I always get a “puppy cut”, same length all over.

Confession: we don’t have Disney+.

In August, my cousin visited and logged in so we could watch Flight of the Navigator, obvs.

Today I realized that we must still be logged in because I found T and her great-aunt watching something useless and Disney.

Tonight, I put on Noelle for the kids (Christmas movie I wanted to see when it came out!) and THEN texted my cousin to say “whoops!”

He’s currently on tour so probably not watching TOO much tv.

Is Disney+ like Netflix that it pops up and won’t let you watch if someone else is using your account?

No i think you can have 3-4 users watching at once! So you should be good.

We're going to switch to every 6 weeks too after this. He usually goes every 8ish and its just not enough! Last time I just had her trim his face and belly too so it was super long this time... mistake.

I recently discovered a high fiber bread that I LOVE. My adult confession is that I have daydreams about high fiber bread.

[rugger]

I get super frustrated at S buying things around the holidays. So far, he's bought like 3 separate things they could have been Xmas gifts, but he just bought them b/c they were on sale. And I'm over here struggling to find reasonably priced things to buy him...😤 Every.Year.

Back when dh was a lot younger he played on a recreation league softball team. When the team manager asked everyone on the team what they wanted to be called everyone told him I don’t care so the team manager named them IDC.

Going to name them TBD.

I see we continue to live the same life. Solidarity and throat punches my friend.

I have Holiday scented deodorant (mistletoe). It brings me joy, but it feels confession-worthy.

I had to send out an org-wide email introducing myself when I started my new job.

I had no idea what to say about myself other than that I’m a mom (which I did include). So for some reason I wrote that I love hiking in my free time. Hiking. I have “hiked” on flat ground roughly once in the past 5 years.

I have always considered you to be outdoorsy.

In that you like to drink your wine on the patio sometimes.

oh, ovenrack, thanks for the reminder. I've been signed into my brothers disney + account since the Raya movie debuted for primier members only last summer.

Still paying for my own. Should prob fix.

He won't let his kids watch Bluey - so my favorite is that I'm sure it keeps being first in line in suggested viewing for his kids.

Also, ridiculous. Bluey is the best.

[stringy]

I'm late.

But I bought white bread on instacart because easy and cheap. its so damn good. I'm going to eat it all. toasted, not toasted. Why so good?

I don't know. They are not overly conservative in general - but they seem weirdly obsessed with politeness and language.  So I guess the wonderful playful language that may include "butt" doesn't suit them. Or the "rude" behavior?

Which I find humorous bc they watch 99% disney princesses which have their own issues for sure. And if they were boys I wonder if he'd care.

I also learned most swear words from watching him play nintendo as a kid.  


charlotte, go watch it. It will make you belly laugh.

[ovenrack]

I’m laying in bed and just got woken up by the wind-up snow globe downstairs playing a haunting few lines of whatever song it plays.

Everyone has been upstairs for hours now.



Confession is that I’m now trying to go back to sleep touching A because, scary.
