Confessions

Continuing the Friday tradition..

I am so thankful I am not single anymore.  I've been sitting here for 20 min. eavesdropping on my coworker's conversation over the wall (there are plenty of places she can go for privacy and honestly I would rather not hear half of her conversations but that's another day) and the entire conversation has been "OMG, I cannot believe he is moving in with her.  He told me when we were together that he would never live with a girlfriend before marriage.  She'll learn.  He's a liar. blah, blah, blah."  I'm just glad I will never be that chick trying to justify why an ex is more serious with some other girl than he ever was with me and wondering why I can't get a 2nd date.

I bought the baby's bed set this week so I could have an excuse to return whatever cheap crap MIL buys.  We told her to wait because after the holidays we would do our registry and that way we would have time to look at what we really need.  We made the mistake of telling her what theme we wanted and she proceeded to go to another store and purchase similar looking items in the wrong colors.  It is not up to family and friends to decide how I decorate any room of my home, including the nursery.

Re: Confessions

  • This one is going to be bad...

    My old college roommate is in a bad relationship.  The guy is a nice guy but he started their relationship cheating on his wife.  When they started dating he was married with 4 kids but claiming to be separated.  He started getting a divorce and 2 years later still isnt divorced but was living with my friend for over a year of that time.  He has moved out now claiming that in order to get the divorce finalized he needed an address that a private investigator couldnt track to a gf.  Lately he's been really flaky - like he goes out of town for work and wont answer my friend's texts or phone calls.  Then comes back and pretends like nothing is wrong. 

    My friend has never really had a good relationship and her parents divorced when she was young so I dont think she truly gets that this isnt ok.  She wont stand up for herself, my theory is because she knows very few people besides him/his friends where she lives now and doesnt want to be alone. 

    And for the confession... I know they should break up and she should move on... but part of me wants them to make it through the summer so it doesnt screw up our 4 couple friends vacation in August.  She wont go if she's single and I want her to be there. 

    P.S. I've actually been telling her to stand up to him, break up, not get involved in the first place etc. but she hasnt listened for the last couple years.

  • My BFF who lives out of state and is having a baby any day now called last night to chat and let me know she got our gift. The pup had to go out while we were talking, so I let him out...and forgot about him for the remainder of the phone call (20 minutes). Not a big deal since he stays outside for hours on end when he wants to, but I didn't hear it start to rain (pour!). When I opened the door to let him in, he came running in, drenched!  I felt bad for a while, but to get back at us, the next time he went out to potty (it had stopped raining momentarily) he dug a nice mud pit and came to the door drenched in watery mud.  I wish I'd have had the camera out! (DH played grumpy gus, though, and probably wouldn't have appreciated me taking pics).
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • I confess I hate my BFF's boyfriend.  He's not abusive or anything, but he's just such a loser. He's a "musician", refuses to get a job because "his band might take off" (out of Manchester, NH) lives at home with his parents and drives their car because he can't afford anything, let's her take him out to eat all the time (even tho she has bills and rent to pay) and is just generally such a scumbag. Her entire family can't stand him, to the point of they've been together for 18 months, but they won't invite him to holiday dinners.  He also just looks so unkempt all of the time, and he's what I would consider an alcoholic (she tells me he will drink a very large plastic bottle of Mr. Boston vodka (OMG GAG) in 2 days but it's ok bc he doesn't drive (ie, his parents wont give up the car keys) when he's drunk). She's way too good for him, but he's the first guy she ever slept with, and she's in love. So I say nothing.
    I'm friends with everybody in this office. We're all best friends - I love everybody here. But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late, and start having dentist appointments that aren't dentist appointments. And that's when it is nice to let them know that you can beat them up.
  • I initiated sex last night so I wouldn't have to go to the gym.

    I want to schedule a really expensive couple's massage for Valentine's day even though we need to save money.

    I've been doing audits all day at work and I added extra steps so they'd take a lot longer.  They're easy and it's a Friday so I wanted them to take a long time
