Flame-free Friday

I don't know what we had decided was going to be Friday's theme, so I just decided to get it started.

Go ahead, flame free confessions.  Step right up!

Re: Flame-free Friday

  • So DH is getting me a Nook for my b'day...thing is I have no idea how things like eReaders and iPods work. Embarrassed Like, I have no idea how I will be able to buy the books (do I have to keep a credit card on file?, do I have to create a username on the B&N website)...which means I will spend some time reading the manual.

    i have a friend coming over in a little while who i haven't seen since april because she has been hiking the appalachain trail.  she is in NY for the weekend to see her DH.

    this would be all well and good, and i'd be plenty proud of her, if she was doing it for the right reason.  but she is doing it to get away from her DH, who is also a close friend of ours, and who has done nothing wrong to her.  (might i also add that DH and i are the ones that set these two up in the first place.)  she is frustrated in their marriage because she wants to move to oregon, and he is hesitant since his elderly mother lives in NY.  so instead of going to counseling or whatever, she quit her job and left.  no plans to ever come back to NY, stopped paying her share of the rent on their place, nada.  ...and never told her friends she wasn't coming back.

    hellooooooooooo, mid-life crisis!

    anyway, now her H is at a point where he has processed it with his family and he is ready to move, but thinks they should still enter counseling to strengthen their marriage.  sounds reasonable, right?  not to her, she called him a "tyrant" and a "dictator."

    i am FURIOUS with her, and have no idea how to act because i've known her for years and never seen her act this way--she is not one to name-call like this.

    since i have no idea what to do when she gets here, i have decided to pour a glass of wine.  it's my 12-o'clock-tail.

  • OOh! 315Bride, i *like* Flame Free Friday! Totally didn't even think of that! Maybe we can share Friday's with food and confessions!!
  • Alright, here's mine...

    Sometimes i feel like i'd rather get knocked up and buy a house then go to grad school for the next 1.5yrs.  :-/ And it's a pretty strong feeling...

    And i feel guilty when i feel this way...
