Confessions, anyone?

I still like hearing 'Rolling in the Deep' on the radio.

Re: Confessions, anyone?

  • DH and I communicated effectively for the first time in months last night. I told him how I felt and he did the same. It was scary and great. We agreed to work to make us better. We also agreed that we need more individual time, we have been together almost every day for nearly 7 years. So, on that note if any P'Cola girls want to gtg soon I'm free!

    DH & I went through something similar. We never really made that many friends in Melbourne because we always felt it was so temporary. We kinda got into a groove of always spending so much time with one another. You can't do that. You need your own individual identities.

    It was really hard for DH when we moved back here & I had friends & was doing stuff a lot more without him. His brother was still married to the succubus so they never saw one another & his best friend had just been shipped off with the Navy. I think that created a rift between us because he felt alone. I'm a lot more outgoing than he is & it's harder for him to make friends. Thankfully now he's made some friends & him & his brother are spending a lot more time together. He's also finally joining a soccer league (I've been encouraging this for YEARS)!

    I really hope that your talk last night leads to a more positive place in your relationship! GL & hugs!

  • CD, you asked me yesterday if I was going to move out on my own and it made me think of this confession. I don't want to move out. I completely understand that grown adults usually shouldn't be living with their parents except on a temporary basis, but it's because of me that my mom can stay in her home. I help her make ends meet, if I didn't she would be hurting financially. Also, I love my mom and we're truly like roommates. I do my chores, she does her own and i buy my food and she buys her own. I hardly ever see her and most of the time we don't know where the other is. We've even talked about moving to a bigger city together once I graduate. I know it's not usually an ideal situation for a parent and child, but it works for us. On the SO board someone said they would never date someone who lived with their parents. I feel like if someone doesn't want to date me because I'm helping keep my mother afloat financially then they aren't worth dating anyways.

    I though of two more:

    There's a girl on F&B that just stared posting in the OOTD posts and I think she generally looks awful. I said something snarky about her top yesterday. Then I freaked out because I worry that people secretly think snark about me when I post an OOTD and they feel like I can take it since I dished it. Oh well.

    I've used the same screenname for everything on the Internet since I was in middle school. I'm thinking about changing my sn here to something Harry Potter related because I'm now obsessed and I want to jump on the name changing bandwagon. I probably won't though, I don't like change.

  • Laner - I think in a situation like yours, living at home isn't bad. You're not living off your mom, you two living together allows you both to live more comfortably. I'm sure if you wanted to move out on your own you would need a job other than nannying and that would make it even harder to go to school.

    Now, if you were living at home, not working and your mom did all the housework I might have to give you the side eye.

  • My confession is that I'm totally a crazy pants when it comes to anxiety. We met someone at the town center yesterday to sell something DH sold on craigslist and I kept thinking of all the ways they could rob us. It was totally fine though.

    Also when I got home yesterday there was a KFC cup on our front porch. Why the hell was someone on our front porch and why did they leave the cup there? I actually considered keeping the cup in case we needed it for DNA or fingerprints if someone breaks into our house anytime soon. We threw it away, but I'm still totally freaked over it.

  • I keep forgetting to reinstall programs every time my computer needs fixing, and just realized that I hadn't put Dreamweaver back on it. For like 2 years. Which means I haven't refreshed our business site in that long. And now I actually cannot remember how DW works. Or how to log in. Or how to edit the pages. I mean, I'm sure it'll come back, but I don't have extra time to d!ck around with it. Sigh. I feel like SUCH a moron right now.

    What is OOTD? I'm confused.. People posts their outfits and people make themselves feel better by putting them down...?

    Outfit of the day. Yes, people post their outfits everyday and usually it's all puppies and rainbows everyone looks great, but every now and then it can get nasty. I had an AE tear apart my thick bangs once, but usually it's snark free.

  • If I posted most of my outfits I'd be laughed off the nest. I'm not good with the fashions, lol.

  • I am beyond tickled about this U of Miami football scandal. I hope they get the death penalty.

    I barely know anything about football and I agree with you.

  • It bothers me that people judge me for returning to work, when we could survive if I didn't return.

    I keep having dreams about being pregnant and I wake up excited. I told C and he thinks I'm crazycakes for having dreams about it.

  • I hate all the DIY wreaths I keep seeing. Wreaths are ugly.

    OMG, I'm seeing them everywhere too. Lots of bloggers are blogging about making DIY wreaths. I don't see them IRL, but they're all over the internet.

    No Heaven forbid you want to work & have career goals & aspirations.

    I think it's great that you still want to work.
