FWP?

[bullygirl979]

In honor of esdreturns and the lamenting not having anything to do on her longggggg vacation  Anyone got some FWP?

Here are mine:


I am hosting Thanksgiving. I don't know whether to make roasted garlic goat cheese mashed potatoes or do I make smoked gouda and bacon potato casserole?? 

I don't have a hammer and nails to hang up my award. So, it is just sitting on my desk. 



PS-Love you ESD!  (kiss)

I got the scratchy generic kleenex by mistake, not the ones with aloe and lotion. My nose skin is so dry, since I use about 20 of them a day.

I can't run my iron and my space heater without flipping the breaker. Also, my space heater melted the plastic chair rolling mat under my desk.

I might have to have chipotle for dinner tonight because I have downtime between work and the parent teacher conference.

this is the worst

chalupa, can you get an electric blanket? I have one at my sewing machine that is throw sized and I can just leave it on my lap. It doesn't throw the breaker like my space heater does. Bonus, it is a cute purple/white print so it is cheerful!

I had to walk to the water filter in the next building over (a 2 min walk, max) because the one right outside my office was out of hot water this morning.

Even with the fancy soft tissues with aloe and lotion, I have a raw spot inside my nose. Luckily the outside isn't chapped though.

I have some cashmere yarn leftover from my scarf, but not enough to use for another project probably.

Also, neonpink, what are you thinking about renting?! I'm feeling car deprived because I haven't had time to take the s2000 to get snow tires on it but it has been too cold to drive on my summer performance tires. Waaahhhh. If that isn't a FWP I guess I don't know what is.. Haha..

My vote is a GT3 RS.

Not sure about what we would rent.  I just made a joke to H that he should take his car into the shop and we can use a loaner. Totally terrible I know.

That's a good idea captainmel. I don't think electric blankets have been expressly prohibited, which in my mind means they're a-OK!

I have an electric throw at home. It's amazing. It has changed my lazy life. My H loves the house to be colder, and I'm cheap. I'd rather bake like a potato under the blanket.

My office is expanding and part of the expansion project is they added a cooler with sodas, juice, milk, string cheese, greek yogurt, and hummus with pretzels. They also added a snack bar that has M&Ms, Kind Bars, Sun Chips, granola bars, Chex mix, turkey jerky, and I think some other stuff too. All free. Guess what I'm going to be living on from now on?

Do you have a Costco membership? They have the throw sized ones on sale right now for like $24! Best decision ever.

I don't have those either. Again, FWP.

Whining within...

SPOILER: Click to show

I can leave my husband whenever I choose, because I'm capable of making enough to sustain myself and/or any children I might have. And yet I'm so emotionally attached and conflicted...I continue to hang on to my first love.

#FWP - I work from home, making enough to sustain a small family, but I can't get enough space from everyone to create emotionally healthy relationships for myself. Fuck me?

Space heaters are banned at work. I am freezing, and wearing my scarf and gloves. I have already had maintenance shut off the vent in my office, because I can't handle the "heat" it's pumping in.

The cafeteria had a choice of either meat+rice burritos, or a veggie fajita filling over salad. I didn't want a tortilla or the rice, so I asked them to dump the meat+veggies on a salad. They charged me for two entrees

These are serious problems.

Squirrels keep getting to my bird feeders at home. It makes me so ragey.

I certainly do! Now I'm afraid I'm going to need one for the office, one for the couch, and one for the pups (because it wouldn't be nice not to share )

Also, Kohl's will have the blankets on sale for $30 this Black Friday. Because my heated throw is *just* a bit too small for me to easily stay covered while on the sofa. I want extra fabric to wrap under my feet.

[captainmel]

chalupa, I own three. Living room, bedroom, sewing room. River is addicted too. You'll love them.

[captainmel]

Guys I am having a day of FWP's. I am on my period and I needed chocolate. Like, I'll murder everyone if I don't get some chocolate. I didn't want to wait 30 minutes for my brownie mix to bake so I went to the grocery store and bought

A slice of mocha cake with chocolate buttercream
A slice of German chocolate cake
A slice of apple cake with pumpkin spices and apple filling
A package of salted caramel brownies with salted caramel in the middle!!!

I just gained 5 lbs.

[kaneen]

Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday and I TOTALLY forgot. So...I just ordered an Edible Arrangement. All kinds of chocolate covered goodness. It was over $100! Damn me and my forgetfulness!

[tiramisu]

captainmel I want those brownies! They sound delicious. Granted, I would save them for when I'm feeling better, but still.

SwimDeep, I think you need to find a way to make and take that space for yourself. Also, something I read back when we were on the place that shall not be named: they're called first loves because there's supposed to be more after them. I get how hard it can be to think that way though.

[esdreturns]

Well in addition to my week off next week, I also have Dec 22nd through Jan 1st off. AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO!!!

Siriusly, the ultimate FWP over here. My company gives me too much PTO and it's use it or lose it (you can only roll over a week).

[esdreturns]

Also I know that's probably too many potatoes but I am going to vote make both because they both sound delicious!!
