Friday means...

Re: Friday means...

  • I know all the reasons we aren't TTC yet and fully back them 100%.  But that doesn't keep me from wishing we were ready to try because it's lonely being one of the only ones not TTC or not having kids. 

  • I want to try using a new brand of make-up but I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out because I'm a make-up idiot. LOL!

  • I've purchased 3 different mascaras in the past week.  And hate all three.  In fact, I keep thinking and refuse to throw away the mascara that causes my eyes to break out.  I'm even thinking of washing that mascara wand off and trying it in the good-ole waterproof mascara I keep falling back on.
  • I think i look huge in my new bump pic but im only leaving it up because so many people back at home and in our family want to see it.

    I want to clean the house top to bottom but im not allowed and its killing me. I cant sweep, mop, lift anything at all or even do the laundry :( Its frustrating because even though nick will do it, i like to do it my own way. (okay whining over)

  • MH and I are really trying to save money and build up our savings more. I have been fairly good lately but I have been dying for a massage. So I booked one for Sunday, but it's at a massage school so it's like half the price we usually pay for masages so I feel alittle less guilty.

    Look at it this way: if you weren't trying to build up savings, how much could you have spent?  Add that up.  Now compare that to the half price massage.  You won't - and shouldn't - feel guilty. LOL

  • I've been wanting to buy new clothes for about a month but I know that I don't have to have them so I keep putting it off.  I'm trying not to spend money I don't have to and making do with what I've got.

    Is this the bump pic you put up here the other day?  If its different, you haven't shared it with us (and I must've missed it on your blog!) Sad  And you KNOW we're the ultimate authority on how you look, right? Wink

  • I am going to try and convince DH that we should go test drive this car very soon...

    ETA - Which wont happen since I am losing my job next month.  boo.

  • I went window shopping for cars last weekend.  I don't need a new car.  I love my car.  I don't need a car.  I love my car.  I don't need a new car.  I love my car.  I keep telling myself this.  The fact that I don't want another car payment is actually what's holding me back.

    That's the beauty of being the one that pays the bills :) Too bad MH keeps a close eye on the credit card bill and analyzes every transaction. LOL!

    I have a feeling MH wouldn't tell me what he spends but he has to since I do the budget.  :)  It works well.  He never has to know, right????

  • This Sun is MH and my 7th dating anniversary and I've been playing it off like it's not a big deal (which I don't really think it is). But come Sun I'm going to make him feel really bad about not remebering or getting me anything in hopes that he'll feel bad and buy me something nice :)

  • Every time someone talks about breeding their dog I PHYSICALLY have to bite my tongue.

    Also, someone put up pictures of pitbull puppies for sale in our breakroom and I really considered begging Greg let us have one.  Mostly because I know pitbull puppies likely won't get a home FREE, let alone "for sale", and because I know we could give a pitbull a really good home and I'd make it my personal mission to try and help people understand pitbulls don't make bad dogs (bad breeding+pet owners+ignorance make misunderstood and messed-up dogs.)

  • I do not understand the popularity of vampire books.  I've tried to read two and thought they were so silly and ridiculous.  I'm just glad I got them from the library and didn't pay money for them!

  • I have an appointment to get highlights next week.  I fully respect and think the stylist I just started seeing is PHENOMONAL and very skilled.  I've never had issues with their color line.  And yet, I'm SCARED to have them done. *gulp*

    Oh, and I'm doing it on MH's birthday. LOL

  • It's still on my mind why our friends never invite us to do group things (like cookouts).  I can't figure out if its me, MH, or the fact that we don't have kids.

    I do feel like we're discriminated against for being the married couple without kids though.  Even though we LOVE our friends' kids and at least I wish I got to see/interact with them more (Greg's never said that to me, but he likes seeing his friends' kids and gets along well with all of them.)

  • I never thought I would 29 years old without kids. 
  • I want to kick my husband is the crotch right now.

    I told him yesterday that I'd like to go out and celebrate the CPA exam on Saturday. Not necessarily saying when and where but he agreed.

    He e-mails me this afternoon and says what day do you prefer I go golfing.  Both days are crappy days but I was like I guess you can go Saturday while I'm out shopping with David.  Normally he goes in the morning.  What time does he schedule the damn game for?  1 pm!

    What the ever living !  I know I said Saturday but now the entire day is gone because he will be golfing for God knows how long.  I know I am making a big deal out of nothing but I really wanted to go out just the two of us, and not just at night. Do something in the afternoon.

    He doesn't understand why 1 pm is such a big deal.  It normally wouldn't be but he is playing at a course like 45 minutes away and is always a crabby/tired ass SOB after he plays.  If he played in the morning at a closer course, he could have taken a nap before we went out.

  • MH was pulled over going 95MPH in a 55MPH zone about an hour ago. He called me over his speaker phone while he was still pulled over and the cop heard me screaming at him all the way back in his car! I am SO pissed. But he lucked out and the cop didn't give him a ticket (he would have actually gotten 4 tickets and his license revoked). I think I'm still going to ring his neck when he gets home for driving like a jerk!

    (sorry that was more of a vent then a confession)

  • We are trying for another baby.  Hoping that it happens on it's own (hence the already trying).  I know it's crazy but I want to be done before I am 35.  And I am 32 now.  Will be 33 in January.

  • It's saturday but I have another one.

    For the past three weeks I've avoided cleaning the bathroom that MH uses the most (it's a half bath) because he doesn't help me clean as much as I would like.  I've kept "our" bathroom mostly clean, but not as clean as I would normally keep it.  And he STILL hasn't noticed!   I'm trying to decide if I just clean now or wait another couple of days....

    I say wait a few more days to clean and try to go as long as you can stand the mess! Hopefully he gets the picture!

  • AND last night I found him in the bathroom cleaning.  :)  YAY!  THEN he helped me clean out the fridge.  I was thinking he must have stalked me on the board and read this when I first found him cleaning.  haha...
