    I bought 4 magazines today for no reason. One of them was a food magazine, it was the "BACON ISSUE". I am super excited for these recipes.
    I almost bought that same magazine.

  • I guess this is more of a Thursday confession...

    About a month ago, a close friend of mine really hurt me.  

    Fast forward to yesterday...I think she gave birth and I'm conflicted about whether or not to text/FB/email her to congratulate her.  

    I can't figure out if I'm being super petty or not.

  • I told MH that I'm going to bed at 6:30 tonight. I fully intend to come good on that statement.

    Probably not petty.  Though if you think it could really put a damper on the future relationship (should you still want one) I think I'd text her.

    I had something similar happen years ago and I did not reach out to the friend who hurt me.  At the time I was so angry, but now I feel like I could have done more to be there for her right after she had her baby despite the things she said to/about me.  We might talk once a year now.  Hugs for you!

    If you'd like a relationship with her in the future, I'd text her or send a message through FB.  Honestly though, I wouldn't follow my own advice, especially if I still had feelings about it.

    Yeah, 2014 has been pretty bad so far.  I hope it gets better for both of us!

  • I can't decide if it's been better or worse for me yet.  I mean, the bad has been really bad.  But some good is happening too.

    I totally bought that magazine last night at the grocery store. I haven't read it though because DH snagged it for himself as soon as we got home. :-)

    No work for me this weekend. Another x-ray in one week. Still can't rule out a fracture,

  • I'm getting a little irritated with a friend of mine. She and her boyfriend just bought a new house. I'm so super excited for them, it's just all she does is talk about decorating, color schemes and themes for each room, DIY projects, what they want to replace or work on, etc. Literally all she does is talk about this stuff and they don't even close for another two weeks. I'm tired of talking about house stuff. I want to go back to talking about mindless stuff for fun lol.

    I also get irritated because she'll ask for opinions or ideas, practically beg me to choose a color swatch, and then shoots down anything I suggest. FINE THEN.

    Lately, I've been using my prep period at work to take my kids to doctor's appts, etc.  I don't feel guilty one bit.  My kids seem to always be sick, especially with Isabella's celiac disease and having a lower immune system.  I'm down to only 1 1/2 days left, and there are still 3 1/2 months of school left.

    This time next week I will be on my way to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.  I'm equally parts excited and terrified.

    Also, my sorority sister is getting married in April.  Right after she got engaged we were chatting and she asked me for my address.  I assumed it was so she could send me an invitation, but I never got one.  The whole thing is making me feel a little weird and self-conscious. 
    This reminds me of a friend of mine who got married a few months after my husband and I did...

    She had a huge church wedding but wanted a smaller reception. She asked for my advice when she was planning the smaller reception and I helped her pick some things out for it....however when we got our invitation there was no mention of the reception. We did attend the ceremony and all our friends at the ceremony assumed we were invited to the reception and kept saying "see you there!"...I have to admit I still harbor a bit of a grudge about it since I haven't talked to her since then (which was almost 5 years ago).

    I saw a funny phote/meme on FB about this very situtation.  Apparently these people are referred to as "Askholes"!  lol!!!!
