Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS
I wanted to ask to leave early today because of the long weekend, but I decided not to because my boss sometimes lets us out early on Fridays and if that happens, i won't have to use any PTO.
this one's kind of catty, but - I decided I wanted to go to a movie tonight with my BF and his friends (I was invited, but wasn't sure if I wanted cause I couldn't care less about the movie they're seeing.) But I recently found out that a girl who my BF used to work with is going. She's really into working out and is in pretty good shape, and her / her BF used to make jokes sometimes about me being 'fat'. I've been working out a lot lately and am starting to see results (especially in my bum, which used to look like a granny's) ....... so I kind of want to go just so I can show off a little and look awesome in my new jeans. She sounds like a real bitch. I don't think I'd want to go out with her
If you got it, flaunt it. You're feeling great about yourself and I say you should go and have a good time! Screw them.

Sorry in advance, this is probably more info than necessary:
He's not friends with her anymore, but he's friends with the other people that are going.... who are still friends with her. My bf was her old boss, and when he left she basically talked s*** about him to everyone who was still there, including the higher ups, which made him look bad. My bf is still friends with a lot of his old employees (some of who are going) so he found out about it immediately, and cut off all contact with her. He's nice to her when she's around, but he basically ignores her until she says something first. Most of his employees left right my BF did, so only 2 other people know what she said. We weren't about to stoop to that level and talk s*** about her right back.
also? We had sex earlier the same day. Rant over.

But today I hate my house because the kitchen is upstairs with the bedrooms. And....I'm tired. I want to sleep but my husband is making breakfast for me loudly. I love him, but I am irrationally angry at the noise.
I feel like a terrible person for being grumpy at him.

On another note, this woman at the dog park was making bitchy comments to me about having a pure bred dog and how I must have bought him from a breeder and how he must have cost a fortune and I could have adopted six dogs for what I probably paid for him.
Yes, my dog is probably a pure breed. He was still a rescue. You think people don't abandon pure breeds? My poor corgi was abandoned in a house and left to starve with two other dogs. One of them died, the other was a German Shepherd that weighed 14 lbs when they found them. He was nursed back to health and then put up for adoption. So, don't go judging me on shit you don't know about.
Phew. Rant over.
My mom was the director of humane education at the local humane society when I was growing up so we had a lot of rescue dogs and cats. She was always a new pet home. If that counts for anything. : (

That seems like an entirely different situation... it sounds like your DH's best friend is not a breeder. Did you buy the puppy from them?? Did the mother come from a breeder/store?

DH's friend is not a breeder and only had that one litter. The mom is very well taken care of but she was originally from a breeder. She had been in abusive home and had been returned to the breeder when DH's friend got her.

I would have been so pissed. Plenty of purebred dogs end up in shelters & rescues. Not all breeders are diligent about finding responsible homes. Either she was just plain dumb or she has some serious balls to say that to a stranger. Ugh!
