FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

Wifi in a foreign country is a beautiful thing. No pics for the next few weeks, but do your thing. Give me something fun to read on the beach.

Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

  • Even though I have officially been married for almost 7 years now, I confess that I still buy a random bridal/wedding magazine here and there.

  • I've eaten a doughnut every day this week. I don't even feel remotely guilty.
    I had one this morning and it was the most delicious thing I've eaten in weeks.

  • I'm pretty sure I've been a bad friend to my incredibly needy sister lately.  I'm trying to work up the effort to ask her how things are going with her, but I just...can't.  She's takes so much energy to talk to.   All her texts are practically begging me to ask her about her life, but if she just can't be direct with me, I don't want to play games.

  • I won a battle at work and I'm super stoked.  I did exactly what the ED said to do, and I think in his mind he hoped it would backfire on me and put me in my place.  Well, the exact opposite happened, I won, and though he was gracious on the reply email he sent to me, he apparently was in the DD's office livid and tantrum-y that things didn't go his way.  

    My intern and I were having a party when we got confirmation that all we had been working for had been a success.  There may have been chair dancing.

    I've had chocolate croissants for breakfast for the past three days and I feel the same way. Can't have them going bad before someone gets a chance to eat them, right?

  • Today was my last day at work and it was much harder to leave than I thought it would be.  I feel incredibly guilty about leaving everyone behind even though there was plenty of reasons for me to go.  I said to a friend of mine when she mentioned celebrating my new job that there really wasn't a reason to celebrate.  It was an escape for me mostly.  And yet, there's the guilt.

    *sigh*  It sounds rather melodramatic but all the bullshit that went on there could be equated to mental abuse.

    In a manner of speaking.  I told another group that it felt like survivor's guilt.

  • I'm regretting visiting home for so long. I miss my wife and my dog.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

    That's the worst. It's hard to be away from loved ones. I haven't yet decided if things like facetime and Skype make it worse, or better.
