Friday Confessions! (Flame free)

Re: Friday Confessions! (Flame free)

    I don't know why I felt the need to keep this a secret (a few people know) but I am doing fertility treatments.

    edited to add that I wanted to confess this so I could talk about in on here and get support from you girls cause you are all so great and not a lot of people in real life know.

    Girl, we need to talk.

  • Paula I will wink and whistle at you next time i see you.

    No one winks or whistles at me either if that makes you feel better :(

    Yeah Jeremy came in all like heeeyy whatcha doing. and I was like fine. hahhaha

  • I'm facebook friends with a guy I "dated" in middle school and sometimes I pull up his picture and think of what could have been. He's a real cutie pie and I can't wait until my high school reunion to see him again.

    I would love that, it's part of the reason I confessed.

  • MH had this thing on his lip, I didn't know if it was a zit or a cold sore but I didn't want to take the chance so I didn't go near him for a little bit.

    I asked him a few days ago if it was still there and he was like, it's almost gone why.

    I said I was going to let you have sex with me but nevermind.

    Then I laughed and laughed.

  • Wink here's a wink for you Paula and Joanna.  I never get winks either!  Now I'm getting jealous!

    Joanna, you've got lots of support here.  We are all praying for you.  I understand your frustration.  I hope this works for you!

    No one other than my mom and my BFF knows about my infertility issues.

  • Thanks Elizabeth <3

    So MH is an extremely laid back guy, but on vacation he gets super excited and hyper. I call it "vacation Jeremy". It's cute at first but I have to try not to punch him after a few hours of it.

  • Sometimes I feel like I'm missing some part of my brain or something.  Everyone I know is baby-crazy - and I know many people who are going through fertility treatments.  I really, honestly care about them and am truly excited when they finally get pg...but I just don't want that for myself.  Sometimes I start to think that maybe it'd be fun to have kid, but I realize that I'm trying to convince myself.  What if I really AM missing out on something?
    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

    You've got plenty of time to change your mind if you want.  Kids aren't for everyone so no need to feel like part of you is missing.  You obviously feel pretty strong about not having kids or those second thoughts would be sticking a little more.

  • Val I it's TOTALLY fine not to want kids. I kind of wish I was like you, then I wouldn't be so stressed. Plus think about all the disposable income you are going to have that people with kids aren't going to have!
  • I tend to be a homebody during the week and MH has this got to be on the go mentality where he never wants to be home.  Drives me crazy!  Can't we just stay at home and do nothing for once?  This week he has been pretty good about it though.

    I do get puppy-crazy, though.  Does that count? LOL

    I am seriously dying for another dog right now.  Mike keeps telling me we have to wait till we buy a bigger house (he's right)...but if we really do end up moving to HI we're going to be in another condo or an apartment.  Even Chloe will be hating us...I'm just hoping that she'll get over her hate when we get to take her running on the beach.

    Thanks, Jo & Elizabeth. LOL  I've never been that kind of girl to get noticed.  And it makes me sad sometimes.

    And equally f'ed up, a male friend told me that I'm "beautiful, not hot".  And I wanted to punch him.  I've never felt so back-handedly complimented. LOL  (I'm sure it was meant to be nice, but it didn't come out that nice!)

    And I will jump through your PC and beat you if this turns into a "Oh, no you ARE beautiful" thing.  I don't want to hear it. LOL  Thank you, anyway for trying to make me feel better.

    ME TOO.  I go through phases where I'm DYING for another Shepherd.  I want a houseful of big dogs (I'd take a Dane or Mastiff, too! LOL)

    Although occassionally I do think about a kid.  But I foresee the kid being outnumbered by dogs.

  • I think your are beautiful Paula (please don't hit me)

    I always get the "cute" card, never beautiful. I have embraced my role as the cabbage patch esque type.

  • We went out last Saturday for my neighbor's 30th birthday at a local bar.  I kind of liked it because I blended in: most of the girls were my size or larger, some really unattractive.  It felt good to not be the biggest or one of the prettier ones there. LOL

    Related to that night: there's this guy that works at HuHot (his nametag always reads McLovin'! LOL)  He was there.  He's kind of cute - not over the top.  I was dancing to some song near where Greg was sitting at the bar.  McLovin' came over and danced with me (not like grinding - just like casual dancing to an oldies song or something.)  Like a half hour later, "Low" was on and a few of the other girls there and I were dancing (again near the bar - there really isn't a dancefloor).  McLovin' came over and said something to MH. And they both looked at me... I'm dying to know what was said. LOL

    I don't think you're cute.  This I say not because I want you to feel better, but I could not stop staring at your legs when you were here when we went out.

    For the record, Joanna has seriously got some smoking hot legs.

    Embarrassed Realized this probably turned more into a confession than a public announcement. LOL  Possibly a creepy confession on my part!

  • My friends who own my running shop hire the most amazing guys ever.  They just got this new guy last week and he is gorgeous!  They had this other guy last year and we would all just die over him...my friend asked him to take his shirt off to show us his tattoo (she's in her 50s and swore she wasn't interested in him)...I can't tell you what his tattoo looked like, but I can describe his chest in amazing detail.
    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

    aww thankl you so much :) Not creepy at all! Such a nice compliment!

  • Some of you know what's going on with my nephew.  He's in a "home" type situation about 2 miles south of us.  The only people allowed visitation are Greg & I, his mom & her BF (not even her daughter, his little half-sister), and my parents.  Visitation right now is only Saturday or Sunday, 10-12, 1-3, or 3-5.

    J's mom is required to see him X times a month for counselling and stuff.  That's the ONLY time she goes to see him (when she's required - so maybe 1-2 times a month.)

    My parents haven't seen him since Easter.

    And yet he expects us to visit him AT LEAST every other weekend.  We're starting to resent this.  Because we live the closest, we're EXPECTED to see hima ll the time.  Even though it really hoses with our schedules.

  • This morning when I left for the gym, Denali was standing in front of the garage door.  I thought he was out far enough that it wouldn't hit him but when I put it down, his tail got stuck under the door (he pulled it out before I could even get the door to open again).  

    I hope I didn't break his tail!  He seems ok but MH said it looked like something was wrong with his tail after I told him about it.  Sad 

  • Maybe it's just sore a little.  If it's broken you would probably be able to tell pretty easily.  Once they are broke you cannot fix them.  I'd think he'd yelp or something if it was hurt badly.

  • That's what I think.  When I went home for lunch I felt it and it seems fine.  :)
