Tuesday Confessions
Pick up the pace, ladies.
Re: Tuesday Confessions
I can't discuss healthcare reform becuase I just get frustrated and feel like the arguments don't go anywhere bc nobody has and REAL information. It's all third party spin and taking sides BS.
I am somewhat incoherent today bc I took migraine rx this morning.
If I would have known Starbucks had free pastry today I so would have been there. Even though there's one about three blocks away, that's too far to walk or drive for the effort now that I'm at work.
I have lunch plans and I'm hoping my day will become productive after that bc I'm not getting anything done this morning.
I'm going to sound like a spoiled brat, but oh well, my confession
So DH and I found are perfect house in Pflugerville that I want. It has to be built, so lots of time and things. We can't get approved for a loan until our current house sells though. The bank is still going to give us a pre-approval letter so we can start building. However, it takes 3-4 months to build the house. So that would give us time to sell the house. But what happens if it doesn't sell? Then we'd lose the house...our customized house
I want to go ahead and say YES build!!! DH says to wait (which is the responsible, logical thing) and yes I know he's 100% right. But I want to do it now! Our house is by far under priced here, and has already had lots of traffic and lots of consideration. I know this means nothing...My reasoning, we could move during the summer, the location is perfect, the house is perfect, the lot we want is perfect. It's just a great opportunity. That's all I got.
But the lovely the Irish and Scottish side of me is actually downright mad that I'm not getting my way. Ha. I actually thought of guilting DH into saying yes, but I can't bring myself to do that. I feel like whining like a 4 year old and throwing a fit. I know it's stupid, and I don't care. Sometimes I hate being so stubborn!
I can't believe you would be so insensitive as to exploit them to the world like that.
I'm bitter that we are spending our 1 year anniversary on a cruise with DH's family. I don't want to go on a cruise, and I definitely don't want to spend another week with his family (they stayed with us for 10 days last month).
I should just be happy that we are taking a vacation, period.my house is a disaster but instead of cleaning, I'm choosing to lay in bed nesting/watching TV.
I swear the health care issue has caused my blood pressure to rise by 200 points - the is the main reason why I can't post on the P&CE board anymore. ::taking deep breaths::
I just sent this hugely passive-aggressive email to my BIL regarding the visit of an OOT family member we never get to see that he and SIL planned without telling us.
My confession is that I'm late to work so often (read: every day), that I am actually proud that I've been on time the last two days.
I think my team at work would all check their watches in disbelief if I actually showed up on time.
Maybe that will be a good goal for me in April!
Last night, instead of cleaning my house, working on my taxes, or doing anything productive, I changed into my pajamas right after work and snuggled on the couch with my kitty, who wasn't feeling well. I really should have a least gone to the grocery store! Sometimes, my laziness knows no bounds.
Rarely Updated Blog
I'm stalling on buying my textbooks for school that starts next week because I'm secretly hoping some miracle will happen where we move back to Austin.
I used a tanning bed for the first time in my life; it's the only way I'll get some kind of 'light' in Ohio.
My blog about starting over, dating, life and all of its awkward moments.
Ooooh, ouch. Understandable!
In my bag: Canon 60D, 50mm 1.4, Tamron 28-75 2.8, 430exii
Since we moved in December, I have yet to be on time to work.
TBH, I don't exactly know what "on time" means to me, but I assume it would be about 9 hours before I leave and doubt that would be anywhere near the 8:30 roll-in currently involved.
This happens to be the same as my monday confession, but i feel it needs to be repeated because I'm still processing it myself!!
We went to TLAC to get a cat, and ended up calling dibs on an 8 week old black lab puppy. We pick her up on Thursday.
Twist!
