FRIDAY CONFESSIONS!

Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS!

    I'm irrationally angry at someone close to me that just divorced.  I went through a whole hell of a lot to make it to the wedding and spent a crap load of money for a marriage that lasted less than 2 years.
    A couple that I know that was a couple in high school, through college, got married, had 2 kids, and have been married for 12 years separated last year.  I was really good friends with them in high school and it sputtered out in college, but I'm friends with both of them on FB.

    While this makes me sad, what makes me irrationally angry (irrational since I don't talk to either of them or even live remotely close to them, although we do have mutual friends who enjoy gossiping) is that she's getting married again next month and posts all kinds of pictures of their kids (6 and 3) with the fiancee with captions like, "Look at what a fantastic dad Fiancee is!" and "My soulmate completes our family!  I can't wait until Date after Divorce is Final when we are finally a whole family." Our friends say that the divorce was a giant surprise and he still hasn't figured out how to deal.  

    I want to give him a hug and punch her in the face.

  • I told someone something in what I assumed was confidence so now I'm worried that the gossip @julie37619 and @jackiback are sharing is about me. I know it's not, but that hasn't stopped my stomach from churning. #narcissist

  • I just saw a confidential email in my boss's inbox that he doesn't know I saw about one of my coworkers/friends transitioning to a big role with one of the companies we support. I'm dying to congratulate her and find out if this means a possible promotion for me as well. But I can't say anything. It could be weeks before the big announcement is made. I might go crazy until then.

    I don't think that's weird at all.  I hate either hiding my tampon in my waistband/pocket or bringing my purse in.  There's nothing that screams "I HAVE MY PERIOD" than bringing your purse in the bathroom.

    Hmm, I think I have the boobs now to try this.

    S/O I thought boobs were suppose to get smaller after you stop BF.  Yeah, no. Not mine. 6 months out and they're still huge.

  • @MrsJenE - I have an emergency kit in my car for just these types of situations. When you have such TMI issues with your lady business, it's essential. Oh and my office is full of women so seeing someone do the tampon hustle to the bathroom is not unusual or even remarkable.

    I tried keeping an emergency kit once...

    Then I forgot to refill the emergency kit.

  • I envy those who work in a female friendly enviroment.  I work in the automotive industry so it's A LOT of men. As we grow, more women are coming on board, but it's a s.l.o.w. process.

  • I was out near the mall today so I went into Macy's to try on the Tommy Hilfiger book patterned shirt dress.  I can't afford it even with the 20% off, and I figured with my boobage that when I tried it on and it didn't fit I'd quit obsessing about it.  1) The XL fit perfectly, 2) it looks better in person than online, 3) they had two left, one L and one XL, and 4) I am still obsessed.

    :((  I wouldn't have enough boob to hide it. Maybe if I was wearing my big girl padded bra that day.

    I would be ecstatic about free tampons or even a dispenser. I have been thinking about talking to the women in my office about getting a cute little stand or something that we could put such things in. Our bathroom is huge so there is definitely room for one.

    I dont' have the worlds greatest cleavage by all means but I am able to shove a tampon in my top.  So if I can do it with my little bitty 34A boobs than I would assume the rest of you could do it too.  The only thing I find difficult is hiding under my desk to hide said tampon in my shirt.  My office has a glass wall where the entry door is and the glass has a security camera pointing directly at my desk.

  • @sacgeolover Sorry to hear that news! I think you should have as many tantrums as you need to...you deserve it!

    I have two confessions:

    1 - I live in a 950 square foot apartment and am thinking of hiring a cleaning lady to come once a month and do my deep cleaning because I am too lazy to do it myself.

    2 - I am supposed to be snowballing my CC debt, and I charged $189 of stuff at Athleta today. And I have one of the cardigans on right now and love it so much that I can't even bring myself to feel bad about it. Onward!

    Thank you :)

    1. We live in a two bedroom duplex without children and I've had the same desire more than I care to admit. I just don't like deep cleaning.

    2. I did the same thing with Old Navy workout clothes this weekend. Oops. It's kind of sad that I spend as much or more on workout clothing as work clothing...not to mention running shoes...

    Yup. I find that my small boobs actually make more room to hide stuff in there.  I carry my phone around propped in the shelf of my cami all the time.

    lol. I just tried it and I can make it work, as long as my bra is at least lightly lined, which mine all are. BTW, I tell myself I am a 32B, just to make myself feel good. ;)
