Friday Confessions
Let's hear 'em...
Re: Friday Confessions
I confess that I have a paper due for school that's so overwhelming, that I've done nothing but procrastinate on doing it. I know procrastinating doesn't help, but it's easier than trying to wrap my mind around writing it.
I confess that while my husband isn't doing a bad job controlling the finances, I think I could do better.
I confess that I haven't had a diet pepsi in three days, and I'm beginning to freak out a little.
Yesterday, DH booked our flight and resort room for SIL's destination wedding in Negril, Jamaica in May. My confession is... I wish we didn't have to spend so much money to see her get married. I really want to order the wedding album of my dreams, but now we really don't have even a little spare cash.
I confess that I am super excited that DH and I are going to the Nationwide race tomorrow. The best part is we are getting the tickets for FREE.
I confess that I have a monster headache and the 600mg ibuprofen I took isn't helping.
I confess that while I'm so glad today is Friday, I hate how slow the entire work week has gone. And I still have to work tomorrow, yes Saturday.
I confess that I hate my boss. I hit my 10-year work anniversary this past Sunday and no one has even so much as said a word about it. And they all know b/c a reminder comes up on their computer every month all month long when someone has a work or marriage anniversary or bday.
I confess that KelliJo's siggy pic makes me want to put lip gloss on her dog. Dog lips crack me up!
I confess that I also believe I could do a better job at managing the finances than DH--he's an accountant and is doing fine, but...yeah.
Finally, I confess that DH visiting his parents every other weekend is ticking me off. We had a discussion long before the wedding that we cannot continue to plan our weekends around them or we will never be able to concentrate on starting our part of the family...but that idea has seem to slip his mind. Plus, it limits the amount of time we can spend with my parents since the weekends we don't spend with his we're trying to our own thing. I'm going to kick him.
How far away do his parents live?
Sounds reasonable! Why doesn't he?
Because that would make sense. hehehe... Oh well.
I confess that my boss is out of the office today and I don't want to work at all.
I secretly confess that I hope my husband does something romantic for Valentine's Day even though we decided to go with the flow that day.
I confess that I had a couple of Cadillac Margaritas last night and I have a horrible headache this morning.
LOL, true, true...
I confess that not only have I not worked out at all this week, but yesterday I made pink V-day cupcakes and although I usually don't eat any of them (I just have fun making them) I ate 5 yesterday - 5! I brought some to DH's office but I wish I would have brought all, now the remaining ones are here in the house alone with me all day. I confess, I may not be able to resist even though I am upset with myself from yesterday.
I also confess that I am way past over these stupid allergies. I have not been able to breathe for a week and can't stop sneezing and blowing my nose. Not to mention the migrane I have had for 2 days - UGH!
Between that and the cupcake belly I have aquired, man am I going to be hott on our first married v-day!
I confess that hubby has done some amazing planning for Valentine's Day and I'm so proud of him because he's a total non-planner. That being said - he is trying to pack so much into Saturday that I asked if we could put off one part of his plans until next weekend just so that we have time to enjoy ourselves.
I also confess that I'm at a total loss as to what to do for hubby for Valentine's Day. We normally just exchange cards and thats it so this whole gung ho attitude of his is throwing me for a loop. Being the planner in the relationship, I'm starting to stress about how I've got nothing for him.
I confess that, even though I already know DH isn't going to do anything for Valentine's Day because that's just not the kind of guy he is, I'm already a little peeved.
I confess that even though this weekend went really well, I'm still having some misgivings about just up and moving South. I think he is too and we're going to need to have a long discussion about this, but I'm kind of dreading that discussion.
I confess that I've noticed my boss being a little nicer lately and a wee bit less annoying. He even bought us lunch today! Which in turn annoys me a little bit more, since it doesn't help the decision for dropping everything and moving.

I confess I almost fainted when I weighed in yesterday. I've gained 3 pounds in 2 weeks which makes me so depressed since all I had to do was lose 2 pounds and I would have been down 20!!! Now I have to relose weigh to get there. I hate that. I need to stop making excuses and slacking on my excersize.
I also confess the thought of going back to work tommow makes me want to call in sick. I have no motivation to go anymore. I am usually fine once I get there but getting up the gumption to go is almost impossible.
mine are lame, but...
I confess I'm not doing a single thing at work today. Not because I'm not motivated, but because I don't have anything. I really wish I could just leave.
I also confess that I haven't started making DH's v-day gift yet. We make each other something every year, and I am definitely going to be scrambling at the last minute on this.
I confess that I have out due to snow all week and today is my first day in the office. I am glad to be out of the office, but I have zero motivation to complete anything.
I confess that a train just derailed on the line I need to take to get home and my first though was "crap, this is going to f-up my commute."
I confess that my co-worker got punched in the head on the train this morning (everyone is still nuts from being snowed in all week and she apparently pissed a lady off), and I'm secretly glad because she is an annoying b!tch. <---this makes me a really bad person and I know it.

The stalker? Awesome! You're not bad.
Thank you, Munkii. And yes, the stalker. Also, I should note, she was not injured. It was not a Jersey Shore style punch. I might have felt bad if she bruised. Might.

I confess that the new FB layout really pisses me off. And what upsets me even more is how annoyed I am by it- it's just a website and I shouldn't be spending so much time on it anyways.
I confess that I haven't gotten anything for DH for Valentine's Day yet. And now I'm really dreading going shopping for him cause it's going to be nuts.
Finally, I confess I submitted some pics to the "My Real Weddings" section of TK. I had submitted pics for the Real Weddings (to be in the magazine thing) but not the "My Real Weddings." And when I uploaded the pics something went wrong and now I have 2 entries. I look like a moron. I hate TK and TN sometimes.... stupid websites.
Uh oh, is that going to get me banned? Bad mouthing their upload system
I confess that if DH doesnt have something for me on sunday for Vday then he is going to be in big trouble. Last year was horrible, he forgot and then at 5 in the afternoon said I guess I better go get you some flowers and a card. Yeah no thanks. I gave him plenty of warning so lets hope he pulls through this year.
I confess that I am tired of looking at houses and am just ready to find a house.
I also confess that we had to get rid of our realtor day before yesterday (dh best friend) and get a new one because he wasnt doing a good job at all. I hope she is better than our friend because if not I am going to go crazy.
LOL.....that seriously just made me laugh out loud.....lol.....oh that's awesome....lol...I'm still laughing...
I confess that I secretly hope DH's parents don't get to fly down to Houston to go to Padre Island this weekend. If my vacation was cancelled, so should theirs because they are annoying and get to travel all the time! I'm a brat.
I confess that I'm glad we couldn't go to Savannah because my mom ended up telling me last night that something showed up on her mamogram on her left side and she has to go get an ultrasound on the 24th. She wanted to wait until I got back from our trip to tell me..... I also confess that I cried for a good hour last night after she told me. I'm trying to stay positive for her but start crying everytime I think about it. Savannah is no longer important at all. The fact that my mom was going to hold all of that in until Monday because she didn't want to ruin my weekend makes me cry..... I'm over Savannah. It was not meant to be for a reason.
I am so sorry Kristina. Many many T&P's headed your mom's way.
So sorry to hear this, friend! I will say extra special prayers for you and your mom at church.
Cip! Thoughts and prayers, and I will tell my MIL to add her to hers, too (that woman's prayers always help, she is like a direct line to God, I swear). *hugs*

MOVE! Take the chance now, while you're still young and unencumbered. If you hate it, you can always move back. And then you at least won't wonder, "what if?" But I'm a little biased on this topic.
