FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

St. Patrick's Day is a huge thing there and I'm not really a fan. One thing I miss about LA is the lack of pressure to start drinking green beer before noon.

I am in mourning. Hot UPS man is being re-assigned a new route. i will no longer have an excuse to have shoes delivered to work anymore. Of course, I am hoping his replacement is just as hot or hotter. The odds are against me. I will miss his pretty face.

My sister's apartment has bed bugs. I feel bad for her but I'm now terrified that because my mom went to help her clean yesterday my parent's house and our house (because my mom comes twice a week after work) will get infested. My dad was totally right in not allowing her to wash her clothes at their house.

Burn all the things!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! And we never even got a picture!

In all of my 35 years, I have never had a cavity. Not a single one.

I went to the dentist yesterday. SIX FUCKING CAVITIES. Apparently I've been doing nothing for the past six months besides eating candy. And not flossing. GAH.

Thankfully they're all superficial and she can fix them with a local, so I don't have to wait until I can get the good drugs.

We're going on a marriage retreat with my sister and her husband this weekend. The last part involves a ropes course to teach us trust or something similarly crappy. I DON'T DO OUTDOORS. It's supposed to rain and I've been praying for the ropes course to get rained out all week, even though I know that's the part the rest of my little group is looking forward to the most.

His going away gift to me should be a shirtless photo of him delivering me shoes.

Ropes courses are awesome! You will feel so accomplished when you finish it. The one time I did one, it was 60' up in the trees, and I was literally shaking with nerves at the beginning. But it was amazing, and I felt so good by the end of it. Good luck and have fun!

I think my biggest fear is that this doesn't sound like something that is intended for fat people to do. I am the only fat one in my group and I'm nervous. Still praying for rain.

I wouldn't do that either. I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of falling and that horrible out of control feeling that comes with it. There's nothing you can do to help yourself or stop or anything. You're just watching the ground come closer and closer, helpless.

SusieBW · March 2014

I think it's the achievement of overcoming the fear that makes it so amazing, though. I'm not afraid of heights or of falling, generally, but whenever I was standing on that 3' platform 60' up in the trees, I was literally shaking. Also, the first obstacle was the most difficult on the course I did, so after getting through that with sweaty hands and rubbery knees, I felt like Superman. And for all of that fear, the rush of adrenaline and the natural high that comes with it makes me beyond stoked to do it again. Julie, I hope that you do it, and I hope that you kick the course's ass!

The last time I tried to do a ropes course, I got halfway up the pole, remembered my crippling fear of heights, clung to it like a monkey, and started bawling. This was on a retreat with high school seniors, who were really sweet about it. I, of course, was mortified.

I'm having a baby on St. Patty's Day! I know that's not really a confession, but I'm so freaking ready to not be pregnant anymore that I just wanted to share.

Young_Love · March 2014

You guys! It's St. Paddy's Day, not St. Patty's Day!

I never knew this.

On Wednesday I had a couple tests requiring general anesthesia. They asked me the routine questions they always ask, and one of them was "could you be pregnant?" I informed them as candidly as I could that it was impossible as my ovaries don't function thanks to the radiation treatment I had for cancer as a kid. Usually this means case closed. Oh no. The nurse came back a second time and started to push me about taking a pregnancy test, cup in hand. I insisted that no, it was, in fact, completely impossible for the above reasons as well as a couple others that I had no interest in getting into in front of the entire outpatient surgical ward, and yet she pushed. Even DH chimed in that no angels had paid us a visit in our dreams, so no, it's not possible. The nurse finally caved, went away, and then the frickin nurse anesthetist comes in and starts with the same shit. No! I mean, geez, come on, don't you think it's hard enough for me knowing the things my body cannot do that other women's bodies can do, you're going to make me trot it out in front of 50 strangers. Leave me the fuck alone! I understand that they are protecting themselves from potential liability, but damn, just leave me a paper to sign saying that I am sure or something like that.

Clearly I'm still upset 2 days later. Other than this the care I received was stellar. And my tests were negative, so there's that.

caseyandlizzie · March 2014

@sassypants527 I'm so sorry they kept pushing the issue. I would be full of rage if I were in your position.

mrsvedo · March 2014

I REALLY wanted tater tots, so I stopped at the store on the way home last night to pick some up.

Then I realized that to cook them properly I'd have to go up and down the stairs a couple of times to stir them and then take them out of the oven.

I found that unacceptable, so I bought a toaster oven with the tater tots so I could cook them in the basement and not have to go up and down the stairs.

This SUCKS!! I don't know why but I know it has something to do with the pregnancy...sorry love, that is NOT fun!

sfgiantsjo · March 2014

I tried to sign up on the bone marrow registry, and was told I can't donate because of my past health issues. I am really upset about this. I so wanted to be able to possibly help someone. There's a little girl in need who is Latin American and they really need to find a match. I was hoping I might be. Bah. I'm not even sick anymore, but this weirdly feels like a weird "you're not good enough" rejection. Oh well. I can still donate blood, I guess.

Young_Love · March 2014

I'm going to see the Veronica Mars movie tonight. As a Kickstarter backer, I just got a pdf of the shooting script delivered to my inbox. It's taking all my willpower to not open it and read it.

RhymeReason · March 2014

I think it's lame work wants me to leave my desk unlocked while I am on leave so they can get to my office supplies. We have supply cabinets for a reason people

MrsC7 · March 2014

I can't get it up for the Divergent movie. Allegiant killed any future interest in the series.

I mean, if they'd said they'd like it unlocked so they can get documents or something I would understand more. But office supplies? Maybe someone covets your red swingline?

I think it looks TERRIBLE, TBH. Theo James is the only thing keeping my interest.

@NorthernLghts Totally lame. Just for kicks, I'd throw in some rubber rats or spiders into the drawers for those people who want access to your office supplies.

RevJen · March 2014

I'd lock it anyway and say, "Oops! I forgot. It's such a habit to do before I leave." And make sure you take the key with you.

caseyandlizzie · March 2014

I've never seen Veronica Mars.

RhymeReason · March 2014

Yea, also I don't really keep office supplies in my desk. It's mainly personal stuff like food, female supplies and my reference materials for when I forget stuff. . Having to throw everything into a box is annoying. I get they'll need to use my desk because we're on short supply of space and that's fine-i'll clean off the top of my desk of the stuff I care about but my actual drawers? Lame.
