Tuesday Confessions
Only bc I have a guilty conscience. 
I was in a collision this morning and was at fault. 
I looked over my shoulder at a left turn and rear-ended the SUV in front of me. Pretty much his ball-hitch went through my bumper, but I don't think it did any damage to him. We'll see when he takes it to the body shop. I feel like an ass. He was incredibly nice, thankfully.
And then when I was sitting in the car on the phone w/ DH afterwards I wrote all over my new off-white linen skirt with the blue pen in my lap that wasn't clicked closed.
Tuesday:2 FCB:0
Anyone else with me?
Re: Tuesday Confessions
sorry about the accident, hopefully the guy's car isn't damaged too badly. ;(
the nest kept eating my posts yesterday, too! I don't have any confessions (yet), but it's only 9:30ish.

At least you have a safe car to haul a kid now.
I told DH if I would have had an XC60 it probably would have prevented the collision and saved us the money. :P
TOTALLLY would have.
I don't think I have my CitySafety feature on, but my worker has the same car and he activated his and says it definitely works... sometimes a little too well.

You can use hairspray to save your skirt. Just apply liberally and work it in until it disappears. Aqua Net works best, but others will work too.
Glad you are ok!

FCB, maybe a mental health day is in order. I think Tuesday's out to get you.
Okay, mine's more of a whiny pity party post than a confession, but here goes:
For the last year I've been working on revising a novel (the novel was written in 2008, but it was such a mess that this past year's revision has felt like a complete rewriting) and last week I finished it. Before I finished it DH and I talked about doing something with friends to celebrate. I liked this idea because I am the world's worst self-promoter and even though I'm really proud of my accomplishment, I don't talk a lot about it. Anyway, DH was supposed to get a small happy hour together, but then one of our friends threw a last minute birthday dinner and then the next weekend was Mother's Day and heaven forbid DH try to plan two social events in one weekend and now it's two weeks later and it doesn't feel like anything that merits a celebration anymore. Wah wah wah....
Oh wow, that is amazing!!!! Congratulations! FWIW, I think that's super-incredible-impressive and you should DEFINITELY still celebrate! (And then have a fabulous book party when you get it published
)

My friend, do not feel bad about a pity party. Today is international feel sorry for yourself day! Not even kidding!

The video explains it all. It's from 2008, but by lucky coincidence today happens to be this year's IFSFYD.
I'm going to go ahead and feel sorry for myself too. Ahem...
I can't find employment for the summer that won't involve me working on weekends, and there is absolutely nothing in the universe that I hate more than working on the weekends! Today's my last day at the place I intern/volunteer and I think I'm going to cry! Everyone in my life is doing big important things and I'm begging for any and all teaching jobs since this will be my first year with my very own class and experience is pretty much the only thing that matters to anyone! I have mosquito bites! My cat threw up this morning and I had to clean it up! I want more tattoos but I can't justify the expense! I don't think I'll ever fulfill my high school (and secretly current) dream of being a movie star! I haven't seen Iron Man yet! LOST is killing off all my favorite characters and yet freaking Kate is still alive! My laptop is making my legs hot!
...I feel better.
Sometimes I pin stuff
I had booked a rental car a few weeks ago for work and didn't realize I had booked a "midsize special." well, the "special" for that week was a minivan - eff that, I was NOT going to drive a minivan for the week. the lady suckered me into upgrading to a premium for $90 extra, which we are totally not allowed to do. I submitted my expense report with just my CC statement so it didn't show that I upgraded - the a/p lady emailed me yesterday saying she needed a breakdown, I totally fudged it. I didn't want to pony up the extra $$ out of my own pocket.
she said it was approved, so hopefully all is good.
ugh, seriously, what is up with this?
I confess I had taco bell for lunch. and it was good.
I'm off work today. I was supposed to run errands and haven't even gotten off the couch. The new cat surely needs my attention, right? Besides I've been semi-productive on the computer.
Also, I really like the show The Marriage Ref.
The concept is so stupid, but the "problems" are entertaining and watching the celebs interact and be themselves is more like a talk show than whatever it's really supposed to be.
I have eaten nothing but a ton of crap today.
I'll need to work out for my entire evening to feel better about it. But I probably won't.
Also, we're waiting to hear back on our home loan either today or tomorrow so I can't stop checking my phone and email. It's stressing me out!
Hope everyone's day gets better!
Additional confessions:
I may or may not have googled my massage therapist guy that I was raving about. I'm NOT a crazy stalker, I promise! BOB, do NOT tell him that if you see him. lol
I'm going through a giant box of Milk Duds today and I'll probably finish them.
