Friday Confessions! (Flame free)
Ok ladies lets get some conversation going to keep Shannon occupied!
So post your confessions and as always they are flame free 
Re: Friday Confessions! (Flame free)
One of my closest male friends. His gf broke up with him a few weeks ago. Greg & I weren't all that shocked by it (BIG age difference; he was SO tolerant and sweet, but she's decided she wants to whore around and live the party lifestyle a lot of her friends are living.) But he's COMPLETELY BROKEN over it.
I can't say anything to him to help him - we've talked for hours over the past week alone, and nothing helps - he refuses to move forward. I've even considered asking Greg if we can use his bonus to fly him in for a few weeks to get his mind off it all.
I want to tell him to suck it up. In fact, I have in various ways, but he is so down on himself.
But I'm not sure how much more I can listen to him tear himself apart and put her on a godda*n pedestal. It's stressing me out.
My team lead is going to be doing my job when I leave and I laugh when I think about it. He doesn't know how to do my job and thinks it's a piece of cake yet it's not. He's been saying he will be coming over to my desk for a refresher course for the past 4 months and has yet to. I am not making any move to remind him of it either. He knows when I'm due and that's that.
I can't wait to see him fall flat on his face because he doesn't know what he's doing. His cocky ass is going down. I'm a b!tch like that.
Is him not being able to do your job correctly going to cause a lot of grief for you when you get back? If so I highly suggest training him a bit because it was a nightmare untangling things when I got back and I even had a temp doing my job and she did the majority of the things correctly!
No, actually there are 2 other girls who know how to do my job and they have said that they will be trading off doing it because they know that he doesn't know how. They told me not to worry so I'm not going to worry.
I just think it's funny that he's so 'I can handle it by myself' when he can't even handle his own job.
Good then you won't have to come back to a nightmare!
I actually enjoy taking Declan to daycare and coming into work because it allows me to catch up on phone calls and emails and I'm able to run quick errands at lunch.
Oh and when I get out of work early I go home and take a quick nap instead of going to pick Declan up right away.
I really enjoyed being taken care of by my mom this week and will hate when she leaves.
Dh gets mad everytime i worry when bleeding starts up because i start crying and working myself up and i want to say how would you feel to be told that at anytime something bad can happen so just prepare for the worst. He just doesnt understand. Im naturally a worrier and that wont change.
Exactly! TY for your concern though because I can totally see where you are coming from.
I nearly did this when I went to sleep last night. Despite last night supposedly meant to be a "night off", I don't feel like I've had one in FOREVER. (I ended up painting my toenails because they were HORRIBLE, making dinner, doing food for today, and a few other things. MH, on the other hand, wiped out from a 12 hour day and allergy meds, fell asleep on the couch.)
I've been trying to bust my arse to hit a goal by Sept 12th (personal goal), keep up and push myself with running again, be strong and supportive for MH (with his 12-14 hour days with summer being at peek in his work area, which is HUGELY affected by tourism), be strong and supportive for friend mentioned above, help another friend who's always whining about being single (I really think he might be bipolar), and find a new full-service salon (I swear, if I like the one I'm trying out tonight, I'll be there for 4 hours catching up on all I need done!)
My work shower was on Tue. and it was amazing how generous people were. Everyday since then someone who wasn't invited has brought me a present and I can't get over how kind people are.
Even though I shouldn't, I feel really guilty about it.
So there is this guy that works downstairs from me. I have had a crush on him since I started here a few years ago. I would never ever do anything about the crush, but it was just fun to have a work crush.
So he asked me a few weeks ago if my cw was single. She is like my exact opposite (skinny, pretty, etc) so I was kinda bummed. She knew I had a crush on him and was like well I won't go out with him, and I was like no that is ridiculous go. So they went out last week and didn't "click". I am secretly soo happy
But I was all like "ohh that sucks" to cw.
My sister and I used to be super close and since she got pregnant we have kind of drifted and this is this underlying tension.
We are going on vacation with her and my BIL tomorrow for the week and I am super nervous it is going to be akward.
I love both of these confessions:
I just remembered I had a dream about my ex boyfriend last night. I haven't thougt about him in years. We may have made out in my dream. I dream cheated!!
I seem to have a lot of confessions today.
I enjoy the attention I get when I tell people that I'm running NYC. I think I'm becoming one of those annoying girls that manage to sneak it into conversations with new people. I have issues.

I had a dream about a guy I used to know a few weeks ago, too. In my dream, I was sent to Chicago-land for work (not working here, apparently! LOL) and wound up on a project with this guy I knew when I was a teenager (and used to have SUCH a crush on him!!)
I woke up and thought "*sigh* If only my life were that fun. LOL"
Cracking up at "he found me" lol. You were hiding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Hehe...that made me laugh too.
Oh, I have another one. My friend and I were walking around downtown last week and these guys drove by and whistled and shouted out to us. Neither one of us could even pretend that we were offended. I haven't been "noticed" in forever.
ETA: I'm a bigger AW than I ever thought.
.: Diary of a Recovering Runner :.
I don't know why I felt the need to keep this a secret (a few people know) but I am doing fertility treatments.
edited to add that I wanted to confess this so I could talk about in on here and get support from you girls cause you are all so great and not a lot of people in real life know.
Fingers crossed, Jo!

The people that know in our family that im pg are all guessing the baby is one particular gender and its upsetting me because nick and i dont really have a feeling on what the baby is.
On a side note all of the rest of our family and friends are finding out on Monday and i have the urge to email my biological dad to tell him even though he wont care.
OMG I do this sometimes too! LOL!
Everyone talking about being winked at and whistled at makes me jealous & sad. LOL
Joanna, you crack me up @ hiding from Jeremy. And I'm sure he really had to convince you.
Another confession: I have SO MUCH FREAKING WORK to do, and yet cannot stop coming back to the Nest. I don't want to do it. My brain's fried.
