My Favorite Part of Spring~Red Sox Baseball!
Re: Confessions?
Sunday morning I slept on the couch. I couldn't stand H's snoring.
It was the best sleep I've had in a while.
A former BNOTB'er (that I still have on my FB feed) had posted a picture of her new tattoo and I think it's rather ugly and hard to tell what it is. Sometimes I see tatts like that and wonder "WTF are they thinking?" and then just assume they were on drugs or something.
I think this almost always when I see tatoos. That may be flame-worthy, but it is the truth.
As one of the few tatt-free people around these parts, I kind of relish in the posts (mostly on other boards like ML) when people admit they regret theirs, or are b*tching about the cost/pain to have them laser removed. Permanent is permanent... make sure it's good and you love it, people!
That said, I like tatts just fine, my H has 7. I just don't like any designs enough to want them permanently on me.
I'm watching Bridesmaids, and i don't understand the appeal. It's kind of stupid. That leads to my confession - I rarely find women funny. Movies like this and a lot of stand-up comedians, it just seems like they are trying too hard. Ellen is one of the few I find genuinely funny. And Tina Fey.
I really want another tattoo, and the biggest thing holding me back is what my mom will think. She hates my other two so you'd think I'd be used to the comments about "you're ruining your beautiful body" and "they will just be so ugly when you're older" and "your husband doesn't want you to get another one so why would you go against his wishes?" I hate people making me feel ugly for something that's meaningful to me.
ETA - OK, the cookie falling over on her and the puppy party favors were kind of funny.
The thought of D not getting a job makes me want to vomit.
We won't make it if he doesn't.
Financially or marriage-wise?
Financially.
We have more going out than I have coming in on my own.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly on tatoos.
My confession--I am tired of people asking what my husband did wrong that he sent me flowers. Why can't he just randomly be sweet? Why did he have to screw up for him to to do something nice?
Hugs. I am sorry things are tough. FIngers crossed that he finds something asap!
Wow, I mean, I guess I can understand how people may think that but my initial thought/reaction would be "That's so sweet/thoughtful!".
I wish DH would randomly give me flowers. Not send them, since I work as a nanny, but surprise me flowers when I come home one day...
Praying for you and your situation. We are in a similiar situation somewhat. Hang in there.

I give a major side eye to woman who date men in the military and suddenly decide "it's a dealbreaker" when they deploy.
It's not like they didn't know what he did for a living.
I feel like it's my mission to find some good female comedians for you to watch.
Check out Anjelah Johnson's stand up - This is how we do it
I feel like the more hyped up something is, the less funny. Maybe that was the case? Anyway, if you do watch it, let me know what you think.
My confession: I have no idea why I'm so invested in this. LOL
I just signed up for a travel rewards credit card since H and I like to travel I figure it would help defray the cost of future trips. We get 10,000 bonus miles if we spend $1,000 in the first 3 months.
I have had the card less then a week and am already there. It is expenses for our vacation that we are taking this month, home improvements, and monthly bills. We were going to be spending that money anyway but it is shocking to see that I have spent that much in 5 days.
This always irritated me about my brother's ex wife. She was like omgah i love u. then he deployed and she was out getting drunk and cheating on him because it "didn't count since he was out of the country"
Umm, that's horrible. Being involved with a person in the military has to be incredibly difficult but I can't imagine saying that's a "deal breaker'. They should be proud of that person and suck it up. Good grief, I'm getting real mad thinking about this.
Wanda Sykes is one of my faves, as is Kathy Griffin, Sarah Silverman, and Maria Bamford
It's ridiculous. My H's friends gf suddenly decided it was a dealbreaker after dating over a year. Who does that?!
naughty you lol
I can't stand Wanda Sykes, Kathy Griffin, or Sarah Silverman. I've never heard of Maria Bamford though. Wait, I did like Wanda Sykes in Evan Almighty and Monster-in-Law.
I will check out Anjelah Johnson and report back
