Anyone need to confess anything?
Most of the time when I say T&Ps I forget to pray.
Re: Anyone need to confess anything?
When I read TB in my head I think tuberculosis.
And T&P just makes think of toilet paper.
I've been eating really healthy, so I have terrible gas.
Sucks to be my coworkers.
YOU NEED TO GO HELP ME DECIDE ON A DRESS!
I confess for yelling.
Remember when God spoke through the nose irrigation guy with the Jack Skellington coffee cup? He told you then that God wants you to stop calling. So you're probably right about the not listening part.
This past weekend I had a wine weekend with girlfriends. One of the girls had to get back early but I didn't want my husband to know. So instead of going home when we got back into town, I went to the gym. But I didn't work out. I just went and layed out for two+ hours by the pool.
It was awesome.
Whew, I feel better getting that off my chest.
I find it uncomfortable everysingletime someone asks for "T&Ps" because I feel like a bad person that I can't honestly say that I'm sending "prayers".
Also, the wedding we went to Saturday was Catholic, and for the first time I didn't say the responses that you're supposed to because I don't feel comfortable "faking it". I straight up don't believe it any more. I was relieved there was no communion.
Also, REM's "Losing My Religion" is playing on the radio right now. How apropos.
I blocked a friend from my FB feed because her husband passed away. She was my age, been married a little less than a year, and it was a freak accident. I blocked her because it reminds me too much about my own mortality, my fears of losing DH, and I'm a jerk for blocking her. She's a friend & really needs love & support right now, but I'm being super selfish.
<------jerk
I do think that's jerky of you.
But I won't judge you for your honesty. I get that it's hard to think about that stuff all the time.
It just makes me feel horrible for her. I do check on her frequently though, but I guess I self-preserved, if that's the right wording. I don't want to be surprised with her (rightfully) sad update, so I just go to her FB page when I feel strong enough or have time where I'm not in front of people. It's just not soemthing I can deal with while checking FB real quick at lunch, YKWIM?
sofamonkey, I would probably do the same thing. I won't even go visit my aunt who is dying of cancer because it freaks me out. This makes me a terrible person, plus I mean, what if the shoe was on the other foot. It makes me feel shitty, but at the same time I still don't go.
I hate being a total hypochondriac.
I eat a shits load of carbs. I love carbs. DH is now on a low carb diet. I'm questioning his sanity.
Also, my MIL took pictures of me yesterday at the pool in my bathing suit (she was taking photos of everyone). She emailed them to me this morning. I cried a little bit seeing my cellulite and pale ass.
She is coming to the pool next weekend for the first time EVER in her suit. I'm considering taking photos of her and sending them to her. Too much?
That is really, really sad. I'm not judging you though.
One of my childhood friends passed away a few years ago and I am a part of a FB group that was set up in her memory. I get updates all the time from the group and it always pops up that there are new comments on my sidebar. I've considered leaving the group before just because reading the comments her mother leaves on the page rip my heart out. I cannot bare to see her pain on the screen constantly. It just kills me.
I feel like a terrible person for considering leaving the group though.
But I will say this: I've dealt with those types of tragedies personally, but I also CAN'T avoid them popping up randomly because with my job I deal with people who are going through all kind of personal tragedies (I'm in banking...but when tragedy strikes you have to deal with the $ so I see it all the time...murdered husbands, a mom who's son dropped dead at 24, a husband who's wife just died of leukemia leaving him with 2 middle-school sons).
The more you just deal with the suck being the flip-side of being happy, the more natural it becomes. I have had to learn to look people in the eye, feel sad for them and mean it, but still not ugly cry every time I want to. It's sort of empowering to be able to make someone feel a little better and NOT like they are being avoided over something that people just feel awkward about.
tl;dr.
Thanks Irish.
I didn't realize there was this much crazy on TN.
Family matters, trouble in paradise, etc. Looks like I will get no work done.
I take it back. The Relationships board is the
Remember that time we invaded ML?
That was funny.
