Re: Friday Confessions

  • I only made 2 of the dinners that I meal-planned for this week.  The other days we ate out.

  • I've been eating terribly and I have no plans to stop.

  • This is more of a rant, but last night was terrible. DH informed me that his military orders got split so he's not technically considered active duty right now. Therefore he is stuck working for no pay. I'm so pissed off at our government I can't see straight. He's basically been turned into slave labor and I'm not counting on ever seeing this pay. I have to cover the next month from our savings if something isn't resolved. I was so upset I couldn't talk about it without getting pissed off, so I said as much to DH and now I'm pretty sure he's mad at me for shutting it down. I can't ask though because he can't talk again. This sucks big time.

  • Also I kind of like the new Katy Perry song and I'm super embarrassed about it since I pretty much can't stand her.

    I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. It is absolutely ridiculous for our military to be suffering when they already sacrifice so much.

    I'm really angry with our government right now too.  It's sickening.

  • I've been eating chocolate chip cookies for breakfast every day this week.  Today I decided to be healthy and ate some cheerios before I ate the cookie.  This is why I never bake.  I don't know how Booney does it.

    @SacGeoLover, I hate Katy Perry too and now I find myself singing along to that song all the time.

  • I'm supposed to be doing work while I pump but instead I just read a book.  It's the only way I can fit some reading in these days!  My work still gets done so I try not to feel too bad about it.

  • I actually really like Katy Perry.  Her songs are so catchy and they make me happy.  I love when Glee covers her songs.

    Seriously!  If I bake... I eat 80% of it! 

    share your secrets @booneybear!  Do you bake then immeditely bring it in to work?  Do you give it away to friends?

  • I brought my car in for service yesterday and had to walk from the garage to my office building (just a few blocks in the not-so-nice-part-of-town) and I did the walk barefoot because I was wearing these awesome new black heels and they are sooo tight on my feet and hurt like a bitch and I didn't want to scuff them either.  I forgot to pack a "practical" pair of shoes to do the walk in so instead of ruining my pretty shoes and hurting my feet, I chose to walk barefoot and risk picking up all sorts of infectious diseases from the seedy-degenerate-drug riddled-trashy streets where I work.

    There is an associate at our office who wears super tight pants. This wouldn't bother me so much if he didn't have an extremely shapely, tight ass. Every time he walks by, I usually have to physically stop myself from turning to watch. 
    I didn't read "pants" the first time I read this through and I was very confused as to why there's a guy in your office wearing tights.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

    The Elmo one is especially offensive.

    LOL. Honestly, they are practically tights. They look like they were air sealed onto him.

  • I decided to order a Pumpkin Spice Latte for the first time in my life last week. 

    In retrospect, that was a terrible decision. Bye bye money.
