I think people that don't understand pets must be kind of cold hearted. I just don't get how you could try to get someone's dog taken away (and possibly euthanized) because the dog barks for 10 minutes once a week.
My Friday confession is that I'm new here, so I just wanted to say hi!
Also, so this isn't totally lame, I confess that I am both extremely creeped out by, but yet can't stop looking at my various friends' Elf on the Shelf pictures on FB this year.
...Okay, that was kinda lame too. Sorry. My Friday is uneventful so far.
I'm not answering Willisaurus's mashed potato poll, because I smell a post title change ala VanillaCourage's failed poll on hair length.
I missed how this turned out.
VC asked us all how long our hair had been. She was hoping for posts in inches so she could change the title to something else, like "How big is the longest dick you've been with" (or similar), but her plan was foiled when we all said things like, mid back, or just below the shoulders.
I think Willi is trying to pull the same thing. Too soon Willi, too soon.
I have a real problem getting any work done before lunch. Like I can't get my poop in a group until after I've eaten, then I can maybe cram in a few hours of stuff, and then bunk off the last hour or so.

Welcome!
We just had our office holiday party. I am so full. I made a chocolate peppermint brownie cake and have 1 large piece left, and part of me wants to eat it. But I am going to bring it home to DH.
I have a margarita at lunch every Friday. It is the highlight of my week.
I drank an entire bottle of champagne last Sunday while unpacking, and I intend to do the same this Sunday while organizing and cleaning.
Long distance marriage is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I pretty much cannot look at any male coworker without my mind trailing off in a non-work direction.
Elf on the shelf skeeves me out. I don't want to have kids because I don't want to have to worry about doing stuff like that.
I have a Christmas party tonight and all I really want to do is be at home eating cheese and drinking wine. Also I don't want to write my final grad school paper of the semester, and keep putting it off (due next Friday).
I was in therapy this morning all fired up about something with DH and then we went to lunch and talked about it and he made me laugh and I forgot all about how mad I was. I'm not sure if that's progress or not.
I'm starting to develop (deeper) feelings for Giant. Not sure how I want to handle that. They kinda caught me by surprise after I saw him the other day. Bleh.

Thanks to whoever mentioned the Pantone color of the year being announced! I LOVE IT! If there are as many housewares stuff in Emerald as there were in Tangerine last year ( +o( ) I think I'll be buying a whole lot of stuff this year.
Here is the recipe I used. I used peppermint extract instead of vanilla. And for the frosting, I don't add any sugar. This is a rich cake. I've also made it using raspberry extract, and it was very good.
Oh, I warm up the cream before adding it to the melted chocolate. Then I use a wisk to stir until the chocolate completely dissolves into the cream.
I'm sick of parents with unisex names getting offended when I incorrectly call their kid "he" or "she" on the phone. If you don't want there to be confusion that your son is a boy then don't name him Ashley.
Sort of related: I get really pissed at people that call my DD a boy. No she doesn't have any hair but she can be in pink from head to toe and someone will say "What's his name??". Drives me nuts.

I had no idea that was the Pantone color of the year. I just bought a dress in that color today. Call me fashionable lol
There is a facebook page for a hobby that DH and I both do for the area we are moving to. (yes, something other than knitting)
Another friend of ours from this hobby used to live there, and still occassionally visits the facebook page.
Today, he mentioned DH's rank in a post where he tagged DH. This has me pissed off. Yeah, folks are going to learn DH's rank eventually, but I'd much rather they meet the both of us first as just plain old people, and then later on find out DH's rank. I don't want it to be the first thing they remember about him/us.
I want to tell off the buddy about it, but can't, because a) he just wouldn't understand my objection to it, and b) his dad's memorial service is tonight, so it's not exactly the time to be piling on him about crap.

Lol, I didn't know it was a "thing" either until my last job. Pantone colors are used a lot in deciding colors for consumer products and I worked in a retail buying office. I'm just SO glad Tangerine Tango will be trashed. Hated every single thing in that color.
I had a job interview today and if I don't get the offer, I really want to move up our TTC timeline and just stay home when we have a child. I am not interested in my current job at all and our current area doesn't have many opportunities for me.

I feel like I alternate between being ignored and being disagreed with around here. I think part of it is being a little more lonely in real life in the past year, but it still sucks.

I'm not ignoring you. (}) I just haven't finished the mininovle yet and I don't want to stop with only one side of things represented.

I don't like pets. None. Sometimes pictures are cute, but in-person? No. Just no. I don't want a cat crawling on me, or a dog squashing itself against my leg in a bid for attention, nor do I want to end up covered in pet hair.
I must be good at hiding my reaction, considering the number of people that tell me we should get a cat or a dog, but honestly, I can't think of a single thing that would convince me to get a pet.
(for those that love pets, think of this as a good thing - we'd make horrendous pet owners, so this is better for all...)

I think it can be hard to find your place in such a big community like this. But your persistence will pay off, I think. I know I have both agreed and disagreed with you (I may not have posted) but my feelings are generally positive toward you. Sorry you are feeling lonely though!
I made my husband look at my poop last night because it was very long and looked like a penis. It took a lot of convincing and he was thoroughly disgusted. He didn't think it looked like a penis, but he was wrong.

The Farmer story today was funny, but this really made me laugh out loud!
