Monday Confessions

I hope it's TN acceptable to have confessions on a Monday instead of a Wednesday or a Friday.

Here's mine:

I STILL haven't written more than 8 of my TY cards. I really want to do them, but just can't seem to find the time. Technically, I have until the 6 month mark, right? RIGHT?

Flame away.

  • Mamie.  I can't believe you just used that.

    >___<

  • I did that for you D.

    Hmmm, my confession: 

    I'm going to buy a new vacuum even though we got one a few years ago from MIL that resides in the spare room in the box. I'm not smart enough to put it together.

  • my confession: almost everything weve received from our wedding is already broken or stained.

    our comforter

    both new sets of sheets

    almost all of our C&B mugs

    most of our C&B plates/bowls

    our vaccuum (which we got a month ago.)

    3 of our towels.

     our grill

    WTF is wrong with us?!!

     

  • I just agreed to go to the new Twilight movie for 2 reasons - 1. It is considered a team building event so I get paid for it and 2. movie theater popcorn.

    I think I saw somewhere on here that the Dyson will be on sale at Target after Thanksgiving.  Check that out, and then be proud of yourself for being thrifty!

  • Holy crap Dandy! 

    don't sweat it Chrissy...you have a year! 

    I am watching Notting Hill and cutting out fabric...did I mention I am work?!?

  • I confess that I hit post while I am proofing and as my response is being posted I see an error.  I have not learned to proof then post..
  • Chrissy ? i still have about 5 TYs left to write. The rest are packed up and ready to send out. I feel relieved to know I am not the only one who hasn't sent any out yet. ive already received TYs from 2 of the 3 weddings i went to this summer AFTER MINE. oops!

  • I confess that despite being in DH's hometown this weekend, we didn't call his parents or siblings because we didn't feel like dealing with them
  • I confess that I've been scouring all the posted Black Friday ads to find the best deal on a flat-screen and the camcorder DH wants for Christmas.

    Wow! Good one. We have done that before too (with his side).

    love it dandy.

    Mames, that was a fantastic flame!?

    My confession is that I flagged down some random college kid to parallel park my car today in downtown Charleston! I couldn't take the pressure!! LOL! I suck.

  • I confess that I'm calling in sick tomorrow because I'm tired and the weekend just didn't do it for me.  I need one more day of rest.  I also have sick days that need to be used up.
  • Steph, thanks for the heads up, but unless they're selling Dysons for like $50 I'm out. :( 

    angel - that's hilarious! Stupid parallel parking anyway.

    Is your work hiring? I want to get paid to go see Twilight!

  • SBS, can't you save your ticket recipient and try to get a tax deduction from it? School-related expense?  I heard you can do that with textbooks. :)  

    Also, I can't see "New Moon" or the "new Twilight movie" without seeing "Twilight 2" tm cdobs' sister

  • LOL. I can only imagine walking into my accountant's office come February and throwing a bunch of ticket stubs onto the desk and saying "Okay! Educational expense!"

    My confession for today: I gave my students an extension on their outline just so I wouldn't have to grade them during my vacation.

  • I confess that today was my first day really "working". I did two weeks of training, but today I was let loose. But, the kicker is the first thing I did when I got home today was cry! I just started sobbing. It was wayyy more stressful than I expected.

  • I confess that I've been having a case of the smuggies today. 

    Remember the troubles I've been having with my co-workers?  Karma came around and bit him in the asss today.  He'd been moody with me last week, very much an "I'll take care of it" attitude along with being a jerk about other stuff.  So I let him be in charge of the sampling we did today.  The douche shows up without his steeltoe boots, forgot the keys we need to access our sample points, and then got the work truck stuck so bad in the mud that I had to use my AAA card.  I also got him out of the bind with the keys by knowing someone on-post we could call with a spare set. 

    For once it wasn't me who screwed up!

  • SBS - We are actually hiring but it requires a degree in apparel manufacturing or design and a move to Minneapolis.  The movie is considered trend research. 

     I'm sure you could find some way to work it into your studies - something along the lines of translating books into movies...

  • I confess that I'm much too old to be noticing Taylor Lautner's cuteness. :(

  • A. Chrissy, we still have about 8 more TYs, too.  Actually, DH does. He kept on me about doing the bulk of them and has never done the 8 for his close family I set aside for him. And we're going to that side for Thanksgiving. Yippee!

    B. Dandy, WTF is wrong with you! Indifferent (j/k) I think we need to chip in and buy you melanine dishes and a Tide stain stick!

    C. I've been procrastinating buying my New Moon passes because the thought of screaming tweens makes me want to gouge my eyes out. I'm thisclose to taking off a day in order to see it while they're in school.

    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • I confess I'm scared to go home because I'm worried I'll stop being productive.

     I also confess that I want to become famous so that I can become less famous and then be on Dancing with the Stars.
