Confession Friday (flame free of course)
go....
Re: Confession Friday (flame free of course)
I think it's great how everyone gets along well. Obviously we are closer to some more than others but we all get along.
Jake chewed up one of my tennis shoes last night and I wanted to hurt him bad this morning but he just got yelled at and put in his crate.
David annoyed me to know end yesterday to the point that I called DH and told him to come home now. He couldn't leave work so called his sister who was luckily home. I got home after dropping him off and cried my eyes out for getting so annoyed with David. I felt like the worst mom ever.
There are people in my office that I want to slap. They are cocky ass son-of-biotches that think the world revolves around them.
I'm afraid to get my CPA exam score. I feel like if I pass, so much more will be expected of me. If I fail, I will think that people will see me as a dumb ass.
I hate working these long hours and being away from David so much. However, I love them so that I don't have to see my MIL in the mornings. She is always bitching about something that we can do better.
I'm annoyed that my IL's want to drive together to the family party tomorrow. I don't even want to go, let alone wait for them to determine that they are ready to leave. It's f'ing far from our house and this is the same place we went to last year that DH ran into a huge pot hole a sliced to tires open. Hopefully we won't run into a smilar problem this year since we are only taking one car. Ugg, I don't want to be stuck in the same car with my MIL in the back seat!
Mel, if you fail you will not be seen as a dumb ass...and if you ARE seen as a dumb ass, it'll be by people who have not taken the exam. Those are the people who have no idea what goes into it. How many years of your life has this thing taken away? A dumb ass would say "fvck this" and give up after spending so much time studying.
Someone C&P this ^ when I get my failing score next week.
I'm always talking about how I don't care how slow I run...but sometimes I'm really embarassed by how I run 14+ min. miles. I know some people don't even consider me a runner.
They were talking on the radio this morning about how 65% of single women choose to stay single and asked WHY you'd want to stay single...and asked married women to call in asking what they miss about being single. Everything I thought of (traveling alone, doing whatever I want whenever I want, spending on things I want, etc.) are things I could do now (just a little easier)...I just choose not to...I still felt a little guilty for thinking it though. Weird.

Im really irritated with a professor of mine. She decided itd be great to do tests in a group online but only provide two days to respond with the test which im fine with. A bunch of us emailed her stating we did not feel comfortable writing a 5 page paper each only to share with other people who havent even contacted us to come together and choose one paper to all copy, now hello im not up for that. She let us do it alone but still come on were an online class im all for working with other people but that just seemed wrong.
I'm tired of someone assuming that im a huge baby that cant take care of herself. I have had real medical issues and other then asking for prayers i do not ask for anything from anyone. Thank goodness my husband helped me out when he was home but otherwise I fend for myself thank you.
I emailed my biological father two weeks prior to announcing the pregnancy online. I gave him the benefit of the doubt again and thought ill email him directly so it doesnt hear it from my stepbrother or stepsister on facebook. Well i still have not heard from him and my paternal grandmother just contacted me to say congrats and since my step siblings dont talk to her or anyone else in my family, gee i wonder how she found out. Im way past due on giving him chances im officially done with him.
Thank god for this! LOL
Yeah, I'm really a "love/hate" kind of person. LOL
I'm seriously thinking about PMing myself. LOL No one PMs me.
Do you want me to PM you Paula? I never get PMs either.
I'm very frustrated with my husband this week. To the point I'm considering NOT going to the game tomorrow so I won't have to listen to him on the subject anymore.
I don't think I have ever gotten a PM either Paula!
I was alittle scared of you at first, kind of like I was afraid if I said the wrong thing you would go kung fu on my a$$. Which is so funny to think about because now you are one of my closest friends lol.
You have to go! That way you can annoy the crap out of him when we kick their butt!
Me and the hubs had some much needed quality time at lunch
It's the first time I've seen him for more than 10 minutes this week.
I could do that, but it's NMS to gloat when we win. I think that's why this week has been so annoying. I'm simply NOT a trash talker when it comes to sports. I'm passionate about my team but I don't want other teams to be disrespected by anyone.
I admit it. I am the most politically correct football fan in the world.
That's a REALLY good question. Because in real life, people think MH is the one with the big mouth and likely to go kung fu on their arse. (Jo, would you think that with he and I? I actually had one of the softball dads say that about us. That Greg is the one with the big mouth and he didn't believe I might've said something that would offend someone! LOL)
And here I seriously have been working on being more intimidating... no one IRL buys it with me. LOL
My confessions:
--I was really annoyed when I couldn't get back on the Nest. Even though I had tons to do at work. LOL
--I haven't worked out all week.
--If MH pursues this other opportunity, it means we'd probably want to move a little south (like 20-30 minutes).. to the area I've commented a few times I'd rather live because at least that community has stuff going on and is safer. Now that it's a possibility, I'm a bit frightened by it.
--I just had my 2nd decaf Pumpkin Spice latte of the day.
Dammit, I had more... but I lost them during the 2 hours the Nest was down!
I am taking medication that is making me feel sick, but I admit I am milking it alittle because MH is waiting on me hand and foot and I like it
I have never been afraid of Paula.
I only worked out once this week because I have been sick.
I'm lightheaded right now. I'm not sure why that's a confession other than I'm not sure if I should eat something or not since I'm so not hungry right now but usually a little sugar helps with the lightheadedness.
I just ripped off Dh head because im really annoyed with someone else.
Dh bought me starbursts last night cause i was craving them and i seriously could eat them all right now.
I don't know if this is a confession or not but I aksed of the doctors here what he was doing this weekend and he said he was going to a birthday party tomorrow night. And I was like oh where is the party? And I have a tendency to spontanously burst into song so then I started singing "Hey where the party at?" (you know that song?). And then I realized he is in his 60's and probably had no idea what I was singing/talking about and just thought I was odd.
I know what song you're talking about and this made me LOL.
A girl I used to go to church with posted on FB about how HH never spoiled her (in response to someone who just had a baby being waited by HH). I thought "Hmm, just like his dad... "
I used to have a huge crush on him. LOL That made me thankful it didn't work out between us.
Also, every time I see her FB picture, I kind of do a
. I realize I'm not the skinniest or fittest girl in the world, but I swear she's 3 times the size she used to be. Yes, I know she's had 2 kids, but not everyone who has kids puts on THAT much weight. If I'd passed her on the street, I NEVER would've recognized her. I also fully acknowledge how superior-sounding that makes me (especially since I have no kids.) But I am thankful she's started working out because I'm scared for her health.
Two more.
I just got really annoyed with the secretaries. They brough in a card for me to sign for a client who lost his mother. Everyone had already signed. The attorneys at the top, followed by a little squiggly line, then the secretaries signed. I had to sign under the secretaries. In the grand scheme of thing, not that big of a deal. BUT since he is MY client, you'd think they would have me sign first.
Next thing...I just got crazy paranoid about my credit report/score for no reason. I can't explain it. So I checked it. My score has gone up since I last checked it (in March).
I just saw someone mention she was drinking pumpkin ale and added beer to my grocery list. Not that the case or so of Miller Light sitting at home waiting to be drunk isn't beer. But pumpkin ale sounded good. I might have to try it or one of the similarly flavored fall brews. Even though now I'm not a huge fan of regular beers because they're so heavy compared to light.
And I also put wine on my list. Even though I'm not ga-ga for wine. It might not be bad with Chinese tonight. LOL
If it's fertility medicine that's making you sick I understand exactly what you are going through. Hang in there. I hope you get better soon!
We have a huge case of Mich. Ultra or whateverTF it is that we bought at Costco...it's like water. After my race on Sunday I ran into the liquor store and spent $30 on 2 six packs of good beer and 2 bags of ice (for my legs...the ice, not the beer). We were so exhausted, we only had 3 beers between the 2 of us, but I can't wait to bust into that stuff tomorrow night.

It seems to becoming my Friday night ritual to forget the week to bake something and have some yummy wine. Two weeks ago, I polished off a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that was in the liquor cabinet (and by the end, was blessing whoever gave us the bottle! LOL)
Friday night, I got some of this and I just dumped out the last glass or so that was left from that night:
(from Cooking Light: there was an article that listed 4 wines to go with 4 different eating out foods, one including Chinese... except they suggested Pacific Rim Chenin Blanc but I'd confused the brands!)
Never said I was afraid of her.
Paula - I love our friendship. We are very similar and different at the same time.
