Confession Thursday

I'm a PW this morning. As some of you know, I'm doing TTD session for a HS classmate, to help build his portfolio, at a horse farm this Saturday. My dress has been in a trash bag in my closet since our AHR on 11/28. It was filthy but I didn't want to pay a couple hundred to have it cleaned just to drag it through the dirt. So I washed my $2500 gown (I bought the sample and didn't pay that much) in my bath tub. I figured it went in the ocean and didn't get effed up so what the hell. It come out perfect. I might start a dress cleaning business, lol.

Re: Confession Thursday

  • My dress has been sitting in a closet dirty for almost 2 years - I seriously might try this!!
  • Hmm, same here, almost two year.  Maybe I should do the same,,,,,
  • That's awesome because you have a nice, clean dress (for free!) and you are going to take some kick ass TTD photos (for free!) Sounds like an all around win for you :)

    My confession (I actually have a somewhat juicy one this time):

    I haven't talked to my "bff" since early March & my life has never been less stressful. Zip it! We don't talk all the time, but we do text quite often and talk on FB, and we have had almost no contact at all in about 6 weeks. Something feels different this time, like the end of something, and honestly... never felt more at ease in my life. Indifferent Which of course makes me feel guilty.

    Don't feel guilty!  There are two people in the relationship and she can make an effort too.  Now, if she's been trying to reach you and you're not responding, that's a different story.  Is this the same friend who didn't make it to the wedding because of work?

    Yes it is the same friend. She did try to call me several weeks ago, but I was in the gym, called her back, & never heard anything back again sooo... whatever. I'm actually very ok with where things stand right now. We're at extremely different places in our lives & we want different things out of life. That not to say different kinds of people can't be friends, but I think we were friends under X circumstances, and maybe our friendship just can't evolve to live in Y circumstances. Ya know?

  • Wow, maybe I should do the same thing!  Mine is folded up in the dress bag still...going on 13 months now Embarrassed  I just can't bring myself to pay $$$ to clean a dress that I'll never wear again.

    I know, I know! It's the Catholic in me. LOL. j/k! I'm getting better, I promise :)

  • Mine has been in the guest room closet since we got back from the wedding, (although we did shower it off and dry it all out in Mexico) and I reeeeaaally don't want to spend the 300 buckers to clean it.  Maybe a little bath will do. :)

     

    My confession: Ever since we got back I've been fascinated with trying to concieve... now dont get me wrong - we have NO plans to start trying right now, but the whole cycle charting/planning etc for some reason intrigues me.  So, at one point i was investigating the bump, and looking at the boards, the 'TTC" one, and I found a group of women that are soooo mean to new people! They have been there for a while, know EVERYTHING there is to know, and when people ask questions, they tell them how stupid they are for asking it.  There is NO support, unless you're part of the ten of them that are 'in' and its CRAZY.  (Isn't support the point of the boards? and learning/sharing info? I don't get it)

    Now, I am addicted to the board... not because I"m learning anything (because people own't help out) but to see how people respond when the group turns on them for asking if there's anything the man can do to help him spermies.  I know... I'm a wack job.  And now you all know it.  This is probably why i'm addicted to the hills and like shows.

     ok. margarita to those who made it through! 

  • Robin - that's too funny. There are a lot knot/bump/nest boards like that. When I'm really bored, I lurk. Very entertaining but definitely bizarre. Oh and I love the Hills too. As does DH but don't tell him I told you :)

     Hahahaha, DH too!! He would NEVER admit it... but he never leaves the room when its on!! 

  • Robyn - some of my favorite "mean" boards on TN are the "Trouble in Paradise/TIP" and "Sex & Romance/S&R".  They're full of drama!  I especially like the posts on S&R when the girl gets ripped apart for asking sex questions b/c she was a virgin up until the wedding night.  It's definitely kept me entertained on some long nights.  :)

    Lol. Exactly. I'm sure if I asked he would say he doesn't like it. Liar.
