You've probably already figured out my name. But you can also call me Frannie, or whatever you'd like. I'm not that picky. I'm twenty-six, a big sister, unhappily married to my best friend, Will. and the Vice President of NOVA Clothing Co. I can't say my life is perfect, but it's pretty close. And it's pretty magical.

I can live with that I suppose.

I’ll cook. I’ll see you at home.

You’ll cook? You want to cook?

They still are but I do not see a reason to be confused about. Why are you sorry? It’s not your fault. I would wear the designated pride flag but I do not think it’s an appropriate attire for work. 

I don’t think celebrating who you are as a person is inappropriate. I’ve had a few employees where their respectable pride flag and it really makes me happy to see it. It’s who you are. It’d be the same as wearing something for a holiday.

Most men are fuckers until proven else wise, expect Jacob, and I guess Will. That you are you blonde beaut, we got the tattoos to prove it. It fits, I mean– I don’t trust most with him, and you’ve been around since he was 1. Pretty sure he thinks he just has 50 moms at this point but I’m the top. 

I plead the fifth. 

Very true. I’m glad Will isn’t like the guys I work with, it would be terrible. But he’s still down to earth. We do! We’re stuck together forever, or at least if our friendship for whatever reason ended it would be pretty damn awkward. And I’m the second, obviously.

One of these days I’ll get you to admit that you love when I get all sappy and “gross”.

will-stjames:

How dare you? I am the manliest of men. I’m not adorable.

Can I take you out for lunch today?

You’re an adorably manly man. How about that?

Well, I’ve already eaten and I’m pretty busy. But I’ll be home in time for dinner? We can get takeout. Watch a movie.

will-stjames:

As long as you’re not complaining.

What else do you observe?

Never. I love how much of a sap you are. 

That you get sappier the longer you’ve been gone. Which is adorable, really.

will-stjames:

@franniefabs

You’re a sap.

I think this is something you had to be very aware of when you married me.

Mm, well...yeah. You got me there. I wasn’t complaining I was just making an observation.

eleanourafabray:

I did. I told them that I do not like orange and it turned into a conversation of why I don’t like orange. I don’t understand why they want to keep asking the same question on and on and on. It’s exhausting. 

They were probably jut really confused. I’m sorry you went through that though, we both know you’re not homophobic. That’s all that matters.

Honestly, I just like scaring grown men– dude, that is my favorite part of coming to bother you for lunch, I love most of the girls there but the dudes seriously need to get it together. You are patient, which is very much appreciated. You succeed, there isn’t anyone else I’d trust with my boy as an aunt/god mother. 

Stop. You’re gross.

Luckily it’s not all the men. It’s just the business side of things, usually. The younger guys are usually pretty chill. Well, I am your best friend. It’s my job. And I’m proud to be considered his aunt and God mother. 

Nope. Never. You love it.

@jwstj: Take note, when your lady doesn’t feel like she can walk anymore, you scoop her up and carry her home with @franniefabs

I was called ‘homophobic’ for refusing to pin a rainbow pin on my sweater in lieu of Pride Month but it has orange in it. I do not think this warrants being called ‘homophobic’, simply meaning that I do not like orange. 

Did you tell them that? That you have a problem with the color?

If you ever need it, I can be there with sirens and all to scare some men. You’re talking to someone that literally raised herself, the whole sweet there for you kinda thang is always gonne be weird. Be patient with my dumbass. You’re like the ultimate aunt though, and I’m here for it. 

Kay, we’re being really gross tn and I need it to stop before I vom.

I think I got it handled. All the times you’ve come to the office and everything they are already terrified of you I think. I know. And I am patient, And I’ll just remind you every day. Thank you. I try. I love Jake and Alba more than anything. 

Mm, never. Love love love yooou.

We waited until they healed to post a picture, but here is the final product of why @poppym and I shouldn’t be alone together for more than a few hours. I love you, pops. I’m glad you’ll forever be a part of who I am forever. #GirlsJustWannaHavePermanentRemindersOfFriendship #ThatsALongHashtag View all 486 comments

One of my kiddos today told me that I was his most favorite teacher– even though he knows I’m only a tutor. He had the biggest grin on his face, and I gave him a high five. This dude has grown so much in the past few months of working with him. He’s faced difficult challenges that so many kids face– deaf, or hearing. And he’s only 8. There’s so much more to children than people let be seen. If you have any kids in your life, tell them you love them, give them a hug or high five if that’s more your speed.

You never know what’ll make an impact.

Kids are the greatest, aren’t they? They can be a hot mess sometimes but I think it’s pretty great people like you can still shine a light on the fact that not all kids are cranky little devils. And a lot of them are just...smaller people. Great story, this made me really happy!

Oh, scary boss lady~ You re free to feel how you do, and it’s sweet and all– I’m just not use to it. There really isn’t anything someone can do, I mean– I say just being ourselves is a big enough fuck you to everyone else. 

We love you too, by the way. I know I don’t say it often, but Jacob says it enough or both of us. 

You know it. Well, get used to it, hon. Not gonna change anytime soon. And I know, and that’s still badass. But I’m still going to stick up for you too.

And you may not say it often, but every day it’s implied. I love you, too. The both of you.

Just hold them unhook them and let them free again, unless you want to eat them. Then you need a good rock…

Oh God. No, no. Let it go.

That’s because the men you work with a sexist pigs, that don’t really understand the fact you could end their job with a snap of your manicured fingers. People will always say shit about my son and I, but if I had to fight every person that did, I’d be fucking tired– and I’ve done enough fighting in my first 18 years to last me a lifetime, and no– that isn’t a way to say that it’s your fight. Chill Fran.

I could fire them. Though, I enjoy making them think I’m going to but them never really knowing if I am or not. And I know it’s not my fight, and I know it’s idiots who say that kind of stuff. But that doesn’t mean I can’t still get mad about it and wish I could do something about it. I love you and Jake. You’re practically family. And I’m very protective over family. Well, at least my siblings.

Let’s just say you haven’t lived until you’ve seen @porcelain-hummel12​ try to handle a fish.

Sounds like a sight. I’m not even sure how people handle fish. With the floppint, wet, slipperiness. Gross.
