Friday Confessions
I confess that I do not want to paint my in-law's ceilings this weekend.
I confess that I've been regressing in my workouts, and feel really discouraged by it.
Re: Friday Confessions
I confess that I had one of my coworkers cream cheese brownies for breakfast. yummmmm.
I also confess that I'm a little happy DH is leaving town, I'm going to go shopping, and get a mani/pedi and do the things I never have time to do.
I confess I want to go salon tanning... but I'm trying to resist.
I confess that when DH asked if his parents could come here for Mother's Day or if he should just go there, I did not feel one ounce of guilt when I told him he should go there. I know my mom does not want to hang out with DH's parents on HER day. And I really don't care if they get mad, they just better get used to it.
I confess that I ate a whole small pizza last night and feel a bit like a pig today.
I also confess that I don't really have anything to do right now and rather than go look for some filing (ew), I'm working on policies, item descriptions, and bios...sshh.

I confess I couldn't sleep last night because DH was away, and I just cannot fall asleep without him.
I also confess I totally enjoyed my time to myself while he was away, though. I stayed up late watching DVR'ed Project Runway and drinking beer, and loved every minute of it.
Therefore, I confess I am exhausted and a little hungover today. TGIF at least!
I confess that I'm throwing a tantrum in my head because DH doesn't want to buy the same house I want to buy. It's not that we can't afford it--he's an accountant and tends to make extremely cautious financial decisions in certain cases. In this instance, the house is in forclosure and needs some work. However, it's in a pretty awesome neighborhood, meets all of our requirements with regard to space and exterior aesthetics, and it's appraised value (based on the city appraisal) is almost twice as much as it's selling for. Oh well.
MUNKII, that house is AWESOME!!!!!!! Do you need us to all send "wife glares" in the direction of Indianapolis? We totally will.
omg, munkii is that the house? it's gorgeous!
(but I'm sure you already know that and it doesn't help your mood at all)
I confess that I really don't want to go to my boss's "open house" for our work team tomorrow... but I kinda have to. So I'm dragging DH with me ;-)
I confess that my annoying, passive agressive coworker with poor grammar is driving me CRAZY today.
I confess that if The Nest requires me to "update my information" ONE MORE TIME today in order to post, I might throw my computer through the wall.
Munkii - love the house. But I know how you feel, my DH is like that too.
But if he's not feeling it, he's not feeling it. It wouldn't do you any good to push him in a direction he isn't wanting to go, he'll just end up resenting it later (I know from experience). You'll find a house that's PERFECT for the TWO of you when the time is right. I know it's hard, but hang in there. And rant to us if you want
THIS!!!!!! SO annoying!
Munkii love the house!
What's his problem? It's GORGEOUS!!! I'd throw a fit too.
My confession is that I have a friend in town with her boyfriend this weekend, which is cool, but another friend and her hubby were supposed to meet up with us tonight for happy hour. I'm a little glad she cancelled because I get too stressed trying to make sure everyone is having a good time. So lame, but one couple to entertain at a time is enough these days.
I further confess that I will almost certainly be fertile (TMI, sorry) while DH is away Saturday through Monday, but I am holding onto all threads of hope that it happens a little later this cycle so that this month is not automatically a total waste. Ugh.
Not to jump on the TMI train.... but I think sperm have the capability to survive up to a week (or at least a few days) inside a woman's body. So.... assuming you and DH "plan ahead," I don't think it'll be a total waste.
True, but my friends arrive today, and it's very close quarters at our apartment, so not gonna happen tonight. Nothing I can do about it... I just need to learn to relinquish control and hope for the best, which is not easy for me.
I fully suppport a group tantrum on Munkii's behalf. I would kill for that house....
I confess to being a wee hungover, after drinking too much last night, waiting too see if our Realtor would call. We have an offer in on a house, and the waiting is making me sick. I confess to being a little annoyed that it would fit in the living room of the house Munkii wants.
I confess to being afraid to give up my gym membership, salon, and Macy's card if we get the house, b/c we will be living on mac & cheese for 5 years. can a house make you ugly?
I confess that I have to work at 9:30pm, and may feel a cold coming on-Achoo!
WW Also has Red Velvet Bars out and they are so delish!
I confess (with regrets) that it's stupid girl time and it's turning me into psycho sloth. I am lazy and damned p!ssed about it. Our bedroom looks like a bomb went off and I really could care less and I had a can of diet Dr. Pepper for breakfast and it was awesome! I need to shake my lazy bones! It's beautiful outside. Let's go, let's go (this is really not working)
I also confess that I really, really want to phone in sick tomorrow since I have to work til midinight and it's my last shift before holidays, but I have a student and I'll feel bad for her if I ditch work.
LOL....I actually saw the commercial for it and let out a huge "SQUEEEEE!". I need to get up to the grocery store asap and grab some. Is it good????
If I were keeping log of funny quotes from the Nest, this would be one of them!
It was good - but I also confess I've never eaten a piece of red velvet cake so I have no basis for comparison.

I confess that I am fat.....I'm sitting at my desk with my jeans unbuttoned and my roll hanging over....and I can't wait to go home to put on some sweatpants and just be done with it.
WHAT?!?!?!?! Get out of town.... You need to try it ASAP! But then you may not like the yogurt because you will crave the REAL thing!
I didn't mean to "quote" you...I meant to hit reply...whoopsie...
