FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

MrsJenE

Jliongrrrl

Someone said they were bored at work last night and then all hell broke lose. I feel they are entirely to blame and should be publicly flogged. Everyone who works in a hospital knows better than to say "bored" or "quiet". They of course left on time and I got stuck there a half hour late. I won't see them again until Monday and will be plotting my revenge until then...

I have been away from home and sleeping in the same room and/or bed as my children for going on 4 weeks.  All I want in the world is to go home, get laid, and sleep in my own bed.

I'm annoyed that our library's summer READING program has "watch a DVD" task.  You basically cannot finish the program without watching 4 DVDs.  Because of that, I'm not doing it.  Bah humbug.

I have the itch to adopt another cat.

I support this.

Our neighbors have blessed us with their abundance of vegetables, which is great, but now I am stressed we won't be able to consume all of the zucchini, yellow squash, beans, cucumbers, and kale before it goes bad.

Recipes are welcome, btw.

The army is moving my brother to Italy next summer and I'm already planning a trip to visit.  DH doesn't really care about traveling overseas but now I have an excuse to make him.

I'm trying to decide if cleaning my house or taking a me day is more important today.... kids are at daycare.  DH would vote for a clean house, but I kind of just want to sit and read and watch crap t.v. all day.

I vote for crap TV.

Crap TV FTW.

ThisModernLove

In times of doubt, the answer is usually crap TV.

My confession: I stole someone's fortune cookie out of the break room. Someone grabbed Chinese food for the office and put it out on the table for everyone to grab theirs and I didn't order anything but I wanted the cookie so I took it.

You rebel, you!

I kind of hate living in NYC.

Visiting here is energizing and wonderful. Living here is different. I feel like there is SO much negative energy here. Everyone is always angry. Kids are ridiculously rude and are so foul-mouthed that is still shocks me every time I hear it. Of course, there are things I love about it too, but I don't feel that they outweigh the life draining negativity here.

RevJen

Instead of working, I've spent most of the afternoon shopping for my Gwynnie Bee closet.

When I have this problem, I turn on some music and make myself clean really fast and clean for, say, four songs. So it's like 10 or 15 minutes. Then that counts as cleaning and I can then not clean for the rest of the time. Bam.

This. Rage-cleaning is my specialty.

I don't know how to clean really fast.  I get too caught up in details.

The boys still take forever to get out of the house and into the car so when Shaun takes the boys somewhere, I try to get my 10 minutes in before they are out of the driveway then I trick myself into thinking that I had the WHOLE time they were gone to just relax. 

Just another really necessary Life Game I play.

I'm probably at least 6 month's late to this party, but I just watched Ylvis's Massachusetts and I don't get it.  I know why What Does the Fox Say is funny, at least I can appreciate it, but this one has me all confuzzled.

RhymeReason

Just curious, but what don't you get? Not that there's a lot to get about them but you have me curious.

SnShne322

It's just "I love with Bob, and Henry.  There is a harbor and gay people. Too many Ks?"  Is there a reference that I'm missing?

RhymeReason

Ahh OK. The K's thing...no idea. Gay people- PTown, I'm guessing. Bob and Henry? I think its that Mass was the first state to legalize gay marriage (that was MA right?) I just thought the video in general was funny.

SnShne322

I suppose that's why I'm confessing it, people think it's funny.   It's not that I have a problem with it, but I finished it looking like this.

Menrandes

I am at a 7-eleven right now and I am not getting a slurpee.

RhymeReason

Got it. OK :-)

RevJen

There are no 7-11s by my house yet but one is being built.  Hopefully, I'll enjoy Slurpee Day next year.

WillyH19

I love my kid and all but holy hell, I'm ready to go back to work. Only 7 more weeks of maternity leave.

I have even more mad respect for stay at home moms.

Yep, I lived in the middle of Baltimore for 1 year. I'm really glad I did it for the experience, but you could never again pay me to live in the middle of a large city.

I think this just confirms that I will always LOVE California above everything else. San Diego is a big city and I loved it there.

@sassypants527 - do you like zucchini bread?  I usually get too many zucchinis, so I chop the zucchinis in the food processor and freeze them in ziplocs in 2 cup batches (my favorite recipe calls for 2 cups shredded zucchini).  Then I use them throughout the year to make bread.

Squash are troublesome.  They either don't produce at all or produce enough to feed a family of 85 with leftovers.
