Confessions

It's been a few weeks. Anyone feel like unburdening themselves?

keb270 · January 2010

I asked to move positions at work and my boss agreed but asked that I let him know if I have any other potential job openings. I confess that I have an interview today but I didn't tell him about it because I want to make sure I get it before telling him not to move me

mamie329 · January 2010

ooh keb, good luck!

Some of mine:

I should be actively contributing to the 401k my company set up for me last year, but I have no idea how to even go about it.

I've been putting off making doctors appointments ever since I became active on DH's insurance 7 months ago. Now he may be switching jobs, and I'm afraid I'll have issues with coverages and am also worried the new benefits won't be as good as what he has now.

I'm losing my patience with the slim pickings of houses in our budget and am trying to talk myself out this whole mess because it's just easier to be a renter.

Not only did I watch the final Jersey Shore episode but the reunion that followed.

Embarrassed I think Ronnie, Vinny, and PaulyD (minus the blowout) are all cute.

Leigha12 · January 2010

I confess:

* That I feel like a horrible pet mommy right now. DH and I both are gone all day today, so Rufus is spending his first full day outside by himself (he has plenty of water and the weather is gorgeous). I know it's better than being crated for 11 straight hours, but I can't help but worry.

* That I've starting looking for a new job, again! I love the one I have right now, but a girl can only be a temp so long with no benefits, etc., especially when her husband is self-employed and also uninsured. On the plus side, I have an interview next month back in Austin with CPS.

That tomorrow is my last day taking the pill... We finally decided that we'll just see what happens, I'm not going to get all crazy and chart/check temps/etc (no offense meant to anyone who does) to try to make it happen since we aren't in a hurry. I got so stressed out trying to plan it all out and time everything right with DH's job and potentially moving but we dont know when or where and I was really having issues because I felt like we were just putting our lives on hold and (i think) my pill has been causing some problems lately. So we decided to just go with it... I'm excited but I'm also scared.

chrissyvcm · January 2010

I confess that even though I'm freaking out about Mike's impending orders, I secretly hope that we get North Carolina. As much as I love our city, our life, and our friends, I just feel the need for something different. Plus, the thought of living in the boonies and getting back to a slower lifestyle is really appealing. I'm from a small town in Texas and I hate how superficial living here has made us. Although I'm sure, once we get there, it won't take long for me to miss what I have now. The grass is always greener, right?!

mamie329 · January 2010

I confess that I'm having a raging case of PMS right now, and things that I would normally shrug off or not care about are almost reducing me to tears. I also hate playing the part of the stereotypical hormonal PMS woman.

SBS0628 · January 2010

I confess that I'm trying to act very nonchalant about this being my last semester of graduate school, but I'm totally freaking out.

I confess that I've put off working on job applications (for really good, high paying teaching jobs) because I'm still in denial that I'm going to have to start working full time again.

I confess that I keep blaming everyone else for wanting me to be "responsible" and have a "real job" for the reasons I haven't thrown myself fully into what I'm passionate about/the career I really want because I'm afraid of failing.

LarkNow · January 2010

I quit Weight Watchers (to save money and because I hadn't lost weight in months, just maintained) and gained three pounds. Oops.

mamie329 · January 2010

along lark's confession,

... I am getting pretty unhappy with my weight lately, yet I brought pizza rolls for lunch today. I'm so ready to be out of this winter doldrums and crap eating phase.

sarajoy12345 · January 2010

I confess that I am seriously considering cancelling a fun dinner out with my friends to sit on my couch and catch up on DVR. DH is out of town and I need a night at home.

Hawki- that is very exciting!

luckycooky · January 2010

I have put off telling my friend that I definitely will not be getting together with her tonight. I left it at maybe when we last talked about it because it was the most polite thing I could say after she called and texted 5 times in less than 2 hours to see what I was doing 5 days later.

I am completely freaking out in a good way because I was just able to tell our big boss that my research and ideas have saved the department about $20K in the past 11 months. Squeeeee!

megs1383 · January 2010

DH invited our friend over to hang out at our house tonight, and i secretly hope that he can't come. Though I adore him, sometimes he has the ability to persuade me to drink above and beyond my comfortable limit. i'm not in the mood to either A. be the downer for not participating, or B. spend my saturday feeling like complete crap.

Leigha12 · January 2010

Lunch = fail

I bought a new frozen dinner (same brand I always buy, different flavor) and it was wretched. So I had to go get lunch...fast food. Sigh And I'd been doing so good lately!

clarisa_b · January 2010

I planned on taking 2 classes this semester (6 units), so that my tuition would be less than going full time. One of my classes is 4 units, so now that I am taking 7 units and I have to pay the same fees as a full time student. FML. I feel like just going back to school full time and quitting my job. But I would feel bad if I left my job in the middle of the school year.

mbd62709 · January 2010

I met with my big boss today about maternity leave and the rest of the school year. I was asked if I was coming back and of course I said yes even though I'm not. I just want my maternity leave, which is my sick time. Also they are making me finish all my work for the rest of the school year by March 26th. A stressful next 9 weeks for me, I feel I should get my sick time. I do feel bad about not being truthful with them.

Good luck Hawki, that is exciting!

I love reading everyone's confessions, they are great.

Good luck! This is exactly the approach we took

Junebug060609 · January 2010

I confess that I'm feeling like an idiot right now. I missed a due date on a bill. One thats in DHs name but that I've been paying (we have separate accounts). Was just going through and paying our bills and came across one that was due on Tuesday. One for a store we have a line of credit at, one of those zero interest till 2011 deals.

Good news is that I plan to pay it off in full tomorrow. Zero balance. Done. The bad news is that I'm sure at the very least we are getting hit with a fee. I'm praying I didn't just eff up his credit by missing this. ID-I-OT. UGH! Will be so happy to have this bill paid off. Can't tell you how many times he's opened it cuz its in his name and I didn't know it was here and then would be left scrambling.

Leigha12 · January 2010

Junebug, call them up and see if they'll waive the fee just this once. Some are willing if the cardmember has good payment history. You'll still lose the 0% interest, but that doesn't matter since you're paying it off. But it never hurts to ask and see what you can get out of them!

LarkNow · January 2010

You might not even lose it, not that it matters since you're paying it off. We have a zero interest credit card that's in DH's name so he opened it and put it somewhere, not giving it to me, the family bill payer. We missed the date and they started calling every day. I couldn't even pay it until we got the next month's bill because I had nothing to go by. They just charged us a one-time fee (which I was happy to pay because it was totally *our* fault, cough, cough).

Junebug060609 · January 2010

The store has a local branch, so I'll go in tomorrow with the bill. Figure I'll just tell them the truth (husband just deployed, this one fell through the cracks in the transition...). Hopefully they'll waive the fee. Bigger concern is if it shows up on his credit history as a late payment.

And I totally hear you with the *cough, cough*. Though half the problem this time was that with our house on the market I have to hide bills out of sight...and out of sight is out of mind. Man, I wish my bank was better..would love to just do it online without having to go to 4,000 websites to pay my bills.

vhcoleman09 · January 2010

Late to the game, but I confess...

I never thought it would ever come to this, but I hate travelling by air. Maybe it's the pregnancy talking, but I was SO glad to get home from Texas last night.

I have become a spinster with money. Though ultimately this is a good thing and we're saving more money, I have needed a new cell phone for a month because I spilled pie on mine, and I can't bring myself to buy it. I even qualify for a really good upgrade for only $30.
