Confession Friday

This might perk up the board a bit.

Let it all out!

Re: Confession Friday

  • I'm debating on going out and buying a peacoat with some of my settlement money even though I should probably put it all towards paying down our CC debt.

  • KB - You got settlement money for what?
  • I sometimes start fights with DH just to get him to purge out feelings that he lets simmer under the surface. It feels like our relationship gets healthier after a big blowout, but I feel like a biitch resorting to needling him for a reaction.

  • We are moving next week so last night Mike and I went bought over $5K in new furniture for the new house that we really couldn't afford. We have plenty of debt, so I'm not sure why we'd do it to ourselves. Our new dining room is sooo cool though!!
  • I threw a fit that DH spent $70 on a golf shirt the other day (its the end of summer and he does not need another polo shirt - and the shirt was ugly) but I've spent about $300 in the past month on "business" expenses that include cookbooks and a couple of serving platters, in addition to the refrigerator/freezer and electrician bill that he knows about.

    KB - You got settlement money for what?

     It's from my car wreck. I went ahead and signed the form that everyone has said not to sign. I'm really not hurt, just a tad sore. The insurance co. paid me about 1K for my "pain and suffering" or something like that.

  • Ahhh. I was going to say, holy shizzz that was a quick settlement. That's cool that you get $1K though. I would go out and blow it if I were you. I bet a new jacket and some clothes will make your pain and suffering a lot more bearable.

    This.  Boys think they are so smooth and holding it all together but we know they get just as upset as we do.  I get so frustrated having to drag it out of DH, but I agree, we both feel better after we do.

  • The H lost his job job a few weeks ago and since he worked for an apartment complex, we chose to move out since we would no longer be living there for free. We have been staying at his parents house while we are remodeling a studio apartment on my parents property. Now that it's almost done I kind of feel like saying screw the money we are going to save and let's just rent elsewhere. I think he will start to dislike my parents if we live next to them, and right now he loves them.

  • I have one cc that I keep paying on monthly that will be paid off hopefully soon.  Only M and his dad know about it. If my mom had any clue that I had a cc bill that wasn't paid off monthly she would totally freak.  Now that M's dad knows about it I feel guility when I go shopping and buy something new...that being said I am going shopping this weekend with one of my friends.

  • I confess that I am a gigantic fat a$$! I have had absolutely no will power since the wedding. I feel like it will be pointless for me to put all this effort into getting my body back and then get pregnant again :(
  • This is a pretty consistent Friday confession for me, but here goes...

    I am up to my eyeballs in work that needs to get done, but I can't seem to do it. Instead, I nest.

    Sorry about your H's job!

    I think as long as you aren't living with your parents, your relationship with them will be ok.?

    This. Except switch roles-DH starts fights with me to get me to get my feelings out. I like to think on things a bit before I talk and he likes to be in the moment. It drives him CRAZY and he is getting better with letting me think for a bit. I just don't want to say something in haste that I'll regret later on.

    I have another confession, but that will have to wait until next week Stick out tongue

    This!  Minus the getting pregnant (at least not anytime soon).  I really want to lose 10 lbs or so, but I have no motivation whatsoever.  I love how I look 10 lbs less than where I am now, but I just have no willpower.  I can weigh what I weigh now and eat everything on the face of the planet and never workout...or I can bust my arse working out and eating healthy and lose weight.  I really really wish H would be more of a fan of eating healthy things as opposed to complaining over whole wheat noodles (just because of the color, not the taste) and things like that. 

    I have to figure out a way to get my a$$ in gear!!

    Noooooo. SPILL.

  • I too feel like a fat ass.   However, I've started at the gym again this week, and ... I'm cutting out beer for a month.  Crying

     

    My husband drinks Old E forties...I think it's funny.

  • Philly's H's beer of choice made me laugh. 

    I'll need a boarding pass for the FatAss train too. I wasn't even at my goal weight around wedding time, but looking on pics, I wish I could go back to that. Being self-conscious about my 5-10 lbs of newlywed weight makes me so depressed, yet I'm not ready to go back to the gym. And it's even more maddening because I have all the time in the world to work out and don't.

    That's the thing - he usually considers himself a beer snob (only drinking expensive beers that I can't pronounce)... but Old E...c'mon now.

  • this is me! minus the whole getting pregnant thing... i cant fit into any of my jeans... and i feel like crap! i just want to lose 10-12lbs, and i think about it all the time, but yet i still have no will power to do it... i said after the wedding i would do it, and now its after i graduate in december... (to  justify i had less free time after the wedding than i did before, i will have way more free time after i graduate) so we'll see how that goes!
  • okay well obviously what i was relating to did copy like i though it would... i was relating to being a fata$$ and not doing anything about it...

    Boo!!  Stick out tongue

     

    I hate when people refer to themselves as a fata$s, especially when they are not. 

    I also confess that I decided to take a semester off of school and am not telling anyone the truth but DH.

  • I've eaten 3 pumpkin cupcakes today.

  • I confess that last week was the first time I ever watched the office.  I am always slow on watching series but I think I'm going to have to get this on netflix as it was so funny!
  • DH was vaccuming last week and the vaccum burnt a big line on our carpet. We knew it wasn't working right for a while but I didn't think it was that serious. I kinda want MIL to buy us a new vaccum since she bought us the first defective one but that will never happen. And I'm pretty sure we'll lose the security deposit on our apartment unless we can figure out how to get rid of the burn line.

    And I want to spend a ton of money on new clothes this weekend. All my clothes make me feel really unstylish lately. But i'm sure all my clothes money will be spent on a new vaccum instead.

  • I confess I wish I had pumpkin cupcakes right now.

  • I confess that I ate half a pint of Half Baked Fro Yo yesterday and am now starting on a new pint.
  • I confess that I'm really excited that I've already lost like 13 lbs in the past 7 weeks. I have one more week until the competition is over, and I hope to lose another pound. And, really, the only thing that's motivated me has been the money if I win the competition. So, I totally understand you guys.

    I also confess that I am debating whether or not I want to try to get down a couple more pounds and try to maintain through watching what I eat, or if I want to go back to just wating what I want when I want. I know I could maintain if I tried, but I don't know if I have enough willpower to keep going.

    I confess that we are so poor that we will probably not be able to get anyone anything for Christmas - again. I can survive through birthdays, but CHRISTMAS!? It's not my favorite holiday, but it's important to a lot of other people so I feel guilty. Broken Heart

  • I confess that...

    I'm really overwhelmed with trying to get our house ready to go on the market NEXT WEEK.  I don't think we'll have everything done that we want to in time.

    I really miss our dog.  He's staying with my SIL while the house is in the market and is 12 hrs away right now.  I really hope the house sells quick.

    I'm annoyed with the Navy for not just telling us already when DH will be transferred.  Could be anything from November '09 to September '10...we have a house to sell...could you frickin make up your mind already???

    I'm really happy by bro and SIL are getting a place of their own again.  They've been living with my parents for the last 1.5 yrs.  SIL can't stand me and thats made going to see my own parents an issue since I wasn't feeling welcome by all that live there.  This will be so much better for bro/SIL, my parents, and for my other bro/SIL who also have felt the tension.

    Since about the time of the wedding I haven't felt like myself at work.  Don't know if its a lack of work or if its the knowledge that I'll be moving soon (ie my energy/thoughts are directed elsewhere.  I feel like I've been screwing up on things...trying my best...but things end up in the shiiter anyways cuz some detail is missed.  Its driving me nuts.  I hate screwing up.

    I guess thats it for now...
