Friday Confessions!
Do tell!
Re: Friday Confessions!
The boss came back from China... and everyone else in the world has off today... not us... NOOOOO.
I also confess that DH and I went out last night, split a pitcher of beer and a HUGE basket of tater tots... it was so worth every calorie
I confess I feel the same way.
Everyone I know has today off or is working a half day. Some departments here might let people go early but mine never does. And of course it's gorgeous outside!
I confess that I now have an uncontrollable craving for tater tots.
They were SOOOO good. There is a place here that makes "tot-chos" like tots with nacho toppings on them. YUM.
I confess I am so hungry in the morning that I have twice the normal breakfast I used to have.
I confess that my favorite jeans are tight today partially because of confession #1.
I confess that my H and I are going to the Dodgers vs. Angels preseason game tonight with our friends and I am super jealous that they will all get to be drinking beer. I guess I will be eating my way through the game (Cracker Jacks, Peanuts, Red Vines, hmmm what else can I eat?). And all of this eating will further contribute to confession #2.
LoL, you have a pretty good excuse, though!
My brain is on summer vacation and has no plans to return anytime soon. I've been so forgetful this past week.
It's been a no good week and my husband really ticked me off last night. He is so "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of guy and I'm a planner (great match, aye?) We were supposed to be heading home to St. Louis last night or early this morning depending on his work schedule. Well on Tuesday his boss asked him if he was going to be at the safety training Thursday and Friday (how could forget husband o' mine??) It's in a city that 3 hours away from our home! So there I was Tuesday evening, packing for myself, H, and the dog, cleaning, shopping for an Easter dress shirt for MH and doing laundry knowing that we would be leaving Wednesday for the training. In my packing frenzy I forget MH essentials for the weekend (dress shirt, underwear and socks...) and dog food. Awesome. I remember them 2 hours into our drive to this stupid training.
Yesterdays training was supposed to be from 7am to 6pm, maybe 7 at the latest. I have been cooped up in small town nowhere in a hotel with a dog with a bunch of energy. Is there a park near by? No. Did I locate a pet store to get dog food? Yes, but only after getting lost...took me two hours. I'm a nervous driver as is, and someone nearly rear-ended me as I was pulling into the hotel (the hotel entrance is located on a entrance ramp to the highway...no one slows the heck down). I get a call from MH at 8pm saying they were wrapping up and there was no set plans yet, but there was a good chance of going out for a beer. At this point I was starving (no dinner cause I was waiting for him to get home to eat) and annoyed with the dog who wanted to be outside. Out of frustration, I said I didn't care what he did and that I would just have cookies for dinner and he should do whatever he needed to do (sarcasm, angry voice.) What time does H roll in..11 effin 30.
He was all like you knew it was going to be a late night or at least a chance of it being. Um, no. Last I heard it was supposed to be over at 7 and you called me at 8, but not again after you guys decided to go out. Then he said he didn't know why I was upset. Probably because I was in a 8x12 room ALL day by myself and a high engery dog. Oh hey, remember yesterday when you said you'd be done about 7ish, then you would come pick me up and we'd pick up dinner and walk the dog and maybe stop at a store so I could pick something up. Did you not take me underconsideration when deciding whether or not to go out?? But, hey...at least you got to hang out with your buddies and your boss and talk about the future of the company. He apologized by saying, "I'm sorry YOU'RE upset. ::anger, anger, stomp, stomp::
Yeah, I'm probably being a baby about it, maybe a bit selfish, and was a bit harsh on him. I just felt forgotten.
Okay, so this was more of a vent then a confession...erg, sorry
If you got through this, then you really deserve an award.
On a more positive note, I confess that I'm beyond excited to see my family this weekend. My nieces and nephews are in town too! They are leaving for Sweden in a couple of months so this could be my last time seeing them before they fly out.
Also I confess, I'm a little jealous that my other sister got to spend two full days with them.
That sounds great! I confess that I only eat the ends off of tater tots and not the whole tater tot itself. I like the crusty outside.
i confess that the "swamp thang" could be living in my pool right now because of how disgustingly dirty it is...
thats all i got lol

I confess that I had french fries with ranch dressing for linner last night because I was too tired/lazy to cook anything and I was in a "picky" mood...
I meant Dinner....not linner....and the L is no where near the D.....yup..
Why!? I LOVE gregorian chants! Don't be embarrassed!
I don't know why!? I guess because I feel like I'm "supposed" to like music like Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, etc...?

Lol, I thought you might be referring to an early dinner, kind of like "brunch."

I didn't second guess this at all because I see Linner and the meal between Lunch and Dinner (which I am practicing frequently these days).
I like it!

I think as a rule, people should avoid any music by artists with "$" in their names...
agreed.

I confess that The Mr. and I had a loud discussion until 230am about how when he didn't have a job I felt so maxed out. Then his car broke down and my insurance was due and we needed groceries etc and he couldn't help with anything because his EI barely covered the rent. I just felt he didn't realize how much I was doing to keep us afloat. It's fine now because he's working again and things are starting to get back to normal but I wanted him to know that if this happens again we need a better plan.
I also confess that I am having a barbeque bacon burger for lunch from Burger Boy which is the best in Canada as far as I am concerned!! Take that Weight Watchers!!!
BTW I just automatically read Linner as Dinner and didn't bat an eye LOL
I don't usually chime in...but I babysat today (I work for a Nanny service) for a 10 month old and 4 year old twins. The twins were not potty trained, the girl twin whined and cried all day, and these people live in a half million dollar home that could be on Clean House...junk everywhere. How many toys can kids play with...seriously.
So, I confess that today I had unkind thoughts and now need a refreshing cocktail.
