FFF Confessions
Anyone? We tried this last week but thanks to the blowout, no one could post. 
Re: FFF Confessions
Not sure if most of you remember, but I used to be BEST friends with this woman I worked with (I believe we wound up calling her Crazy Chick here.) Our friendship ended in a fiery fiasco of a mess and we haven't talked in a year and a half, I think. (Just within the past 6 months or so, she'll make eye contact in the hall and maybe give the polite "Hi.")
We found out last week that she and HH separated. Then yesterday I found out they're DIVORCING (supposedly filing today.) While I feel REALLY, truly bad for the situation and her kids (from her 1st marriage, not this one), I'm a little giddy. It's suspected she's been cheating on him and playing around since moving out 7 months ago (and god knows how long before)... HH is an AMAZING guy. THE biggest sweetheart I've ever met.
So, their divorce a) opens the door for us to actually be friends with HH again (Greg and he kept in touch, but since she and I couldn't be even cordial, it was kept to just the two guys), and b) means he can wind up with someone better. She was never really good enough for him, and it seems the general opinion is she was a gold-digging whore.
I apparently have a few. LOL
Since my sister and I had a fight on Easter (after which, I basically disowned her; she apparently has similar feelings toward me), it makes me happy that no one else in my family has spoken to her. I know it's childish, but part of me is really happy that they "sided" with me, even though neither one of us really made it one of those types of fights.
**********************************************************
I would really love for someone to throw me a party (like a surprise birthday party). MH and I were talking about stuff like that a few weeks ago; he was surprised I'd like that and I said "I doubt anyone could pull it over on me, though." He agreed. That made me sad... I think he absolutely could. I just don't think he'd put the effort required into doing it.
My biological dad is coming to MN in july supposedly to visit his sister in law and wants to meet Nolan. I feel torn about the situation. While i want them to meet at the same time i dont because i want to protect my son. I am beyond uncomfortable with he and his wife staying with us much less even seeing them. I just have this feeling the past will come up and i will be rip to shreds and can i really handle that one more time. Plus, why is it that once i had him my dad thinks everything is good with us. I just dont think having a baby erases all of the pain he has caused.
On another note, i am really SICK of being the nice one. I have really come to find my voice lately and i really just want to tell off some people including my very nieve(sp) sister in law.
I view posts on here just to make the dark green thingy next to the post light green.
MH's aunt (T) is renewing her vows tomorrow and she wants me to take pictures. I'm no professional but I'm decent. I'm actually really excited because I love taking pictures but then again I'm nervous because my SFIL claims to be a professional but T thinks he does crappy work so she was nervous about relying only on him so that's why she asked me for backup. I'm just afraid this is going to cause a little war with MIL/SFIL/T/myself/MH. I'm glad it's not my wedding and I don't have to deal with it. I'm just there to help with whatever T needs and I don't get a rats a$$ what MIL and SFIL have to say.
Again with the wedding I'm nervous about seeing MIL and SFIL because of the past history. SFIL didn't know MH and I existed for a long time and who knows what he really knows. MIL is a crazy manipulative liar. This will be the first time SFIL and MH and I see each other. Should be interesting.
I would LOVE something like this too but there's no way Mike would ever do it. I really thought he'd try to put something together when I passed my exam, but nope, he didn't. I even told him several times that I'd really like to have a party to celebrate and he just said "ok" and that was the end of the story. And here I am already planning his surprise graduation party...IF he ever fvcking graduates.

Me too.
**********************************************************
I'm tired of being the stable influence in my nephew's life. Recently, he's begun giving us some pretty serious attitude and all I can think every time I call him out on it is "You sound just like your mother...the tone you use to speak to me, your know-it-all attitude.
"
And I honestly believe he'll end up in prison. I hope desperately to change that, but I feel like it's MH and I against a steam train running at full speed.
I'd love one of these too but MH is pretty uneventful when it comes to my birthday or any other occassion for that matter.
My last post reminded me of my biggest confession.
Mike has been in school for FOUR AND A HALF YEARS. He's only about half way done with his degree. It'll take another ~3 years for him to finish. I finally told him a few weeks ago that he needs to figure something out and get SOMETHING done ASAP. I totally understand that his degree program (computer science - programming) is incredibly hard and he wants good grades, thus he's taking only ~2 classes at a time (sometimes 3) but it's driving me nuts.
So he went back to the community college to talk about getting an associates and then working for a year or two. He can get his general studies associates next semester...or he can get an associates in computer sciences after 15 more classes. He needs 17 more classes to get his BS...but those classes are harder and way more $$$. So he's going to look into a math associates. I really hope it's less time and that he does it, even though I'm not 100% sure it's what he wants. I don't even know what he'd do job-wise...he could go full time at FedEx.
So...that's my long confession.

LOL I do this too

Put me down as another one who does this...
I think whenever he comes in July it may be a good time to take that vacation. Maybe that's the only time Nick could get off work? Or you could just let him come and go through the hell for a few days to get it all over with and then hopefully that will be the last time.
Ditto
Make some requirements if you decide to allow your dad to meet Nolan. Like there's no way he can stay at your house and you meet at a restaurant or something for lunch and that's it. That way he can meet Nolan and then when things start turning to discussion about the past you can claim it's time to leave and walk out.
