I have a quick minute on wifi to type this. Since I'm not around (still in Florence), everyone is obligated to post a relevant (funny) picture with their confession today!

    We're going out to dinner tonight for our anniversary and we're going to a CHAIN restaurant.  Horrors.  But it is delicious so I don't care.

  • @packfan20, which chain?  That may justify it.

    My confession: I found a container of fruit I left in the work fridge like months ago and it had gross pinkish mold on it.  Everyone starting commenting on how gross it was so I told everyone it wasn't mine but I was going to clean it and take it home because those glass Tupperware containers are expensive. 

    (I don't think you really want a pic with that confession ;) )

  • Last night while watching Glee, I cried so hard.  It has been a long time since I have shed tears like that.  I think the tribute to Cory was done beautifully and it honored his memory well.

    OMG I couldn't handle that. That was one of the saddest things ever. When you thought about how those were real tears and that was real grief for their real friend who died, not just some character, oh man. When they opened with Seasons of Love I LOST MY SHIT. I always sing along with that song and I was crying too hard to sing.

    I'm getting sad again now.

  • I use Facebook as an excuse to not keep everyone posted with what I'm up to. It's easier with so many friends and family back in the US.

    ...But since the divorce I've gotten really private about making updates, and I didn't realize it. The other day my best friend called me out with "Your boyfriend moved to Norway?!" Yeah, he moved here from Brazil two months ago and just got his stuff, so he posted a "boxes" picture on his feed. I kind of figured she must have known. Her parents knew. How did she not know? D'oh!

    And I bought an apartment six weeks ago (just getting the keys next week). Met a local friend the other day in a group. Another friend: "When are you getting the keys?" Friend: "Uh... what keys? What's going on?" me: "Oh, you didn't know that I bought an apartment? ...sorry. I suck."

  • The Bump is a very weird place sometimes. I can't imagine getting opinions on what to name my kid from strangers, and I don't mean "how would you pronounce this?", I mean stuff like "I can't decide so you choose!". I just can't imagine asking my IRL friends for opinions on what I am going to name my kid.

     

    My DH hasn't felt well for the last day. He's been complaining on ringing in his ears, a stomach ache, and just general stress making him not feel well. I do feel bad that he feels rotten but I hope it doesn't interfer with our plans to go to a wedding tomorrow. I've been looking forward to it for a couple weeks now because we get to hang out with some friends we haven't seen in awhile.

    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.”
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

  • I'm supposed to go to a family friend's baby shower on Sunday. My whole crazy extended Cuban side of the family is going. The shower is over 2 1/2 hours away. 

    Sunday is also my BFF's first child's first birthday. The party is 20 minutes from home.

    I committed to the family party first, because I got the invite first. I WANT to go to the 1st birthday party because it's my BFF and I love her kid to pieces and the other kid isn't even here yet. 

    My Cuban family will not understand (no one is more important than them, ever.) I'm seriously considering telling them I am sick, and don't want to get the PG mom sick, and then going to the 1st birthday instead. 

    I have been sick all week, so it's not even a big lie.

    I know. I get that they were trying to add a little levity to such a sad episode, but the grief was so real that it was just forced.

    Finn's mom was the worst part. THE WORST. The whole scene with Curt and the parents...ugh. My heart.

  • I deliberately skipped watching Glee. I'll watch it later when my mood is better and PMS is not already kicking my ass.

    I hate my teeth. They're not terrible, but I've always wanted those big straight perfectly straight teeth. I've been doing research on getting caps and can't deal with the fact that they like grind down your natural teeth. I can't handle the thought of that. Weirdo.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  • On Monday after looking at the bills and the little bit of money we had in savings, from my unused PTO, and the part time job I found at Walmart. It was decided that If I don't get the job that I interviewed for on Wednesday we will be moving in with my family in northern California. I will have to say good bye to all my friends and all the things I do. I have always lived in southern California and am more upset at myself over this then I even think my husband knows.

    He keeps telling me that I need to just be strong and that I need to quit blaming myself but everything that we have planned is now out the window because of a stupid mistake.

    Please pray I hear from the company today. They are going to be starting the new person on Monday so I will hear from them today or I didn't get the job. If I don't hear from them then we are calling my parents and letting them know we are coming.  They will be happy they have asked us to come up to live with them each time we talk with them.  I am just so worried.

If I don't hear from them then we are calling my parents and letting them know we are coming.  They will be happy they have asked us to come up to live with them each time we talk with them.  I am just so worried.

    I'm in Northen CA, and we can totally hang out. I'll be your friend here! (I have no idea what part of Northen CA you would move too, but still. I hope you get the job and can stay where you are, but if not you won't be alone here!

    sfgiantsjo - I will be headed to the Fresno area. Oakhurst to be precise. I will take you up on that sometime after we are settled if we move.
    :D

  • I just dropped $1K at the vet's office.  Seriously, I think I'm going to be ill.  Old dogs are more expensive than kids sometimes.
    (for the run-down, she got yearly shots, a urine test (old girls get UTIs often, plus she's got to pee all the damn time), heartworm stuff, a minor surgery to drain a hematoma in her ear flap, and bloodwork to make sure she's okay to have the anesthesia to do the surgery)
    Plus this is the dog that hates all people except for her people, so they're probably keeping her muzzled at least part of the time.
