Confessions/AW/Rants
Anyone have anything.
Confession: I wore jeans to work today and it's not a jeans/casual Friday.
AW: Life is just all around good right now. Thankfully.
Rant: I hate money. Period.
Married: October 11, 2008
Re: Confessions/AW/Rants
Confession: I only worked 2 hours today. My boss said work a couple of hours and then leave. So a couple of hours to me today was 2.
AW: We're dog sitting for Kiz and Renzo is ADORABLE.
Rant: I hate student loans. I hate them with a passion and yet they were so necessary. UGH.
Confessions: My boss left work over an hour ago and told me to go home, yet I am still here working away (besides checking the nest of course)
AW: On the 29th, I get to have my anatomy scan of baby and hopefully find out the sex!!! I can't wait!
Rant: Work decided to change some processes and procedures, but when they did that they forgot how that would affect certain areas and I have spent all day fixing their mistakes. Grr.
Confession: My BF is pregnant and I could not be more excited for her!!! (she's the first of my friends to get pregnant and they were trying for 1.5 years before it happened). They plan to announce next week so not many people know yet.
AW: So freaking excited for canoe camping this weekend. We are heading to a state park and canoeing to one of their campsites. So excited for some fishing, eating, and relaxing!!!
Rant: I too hate money. But I love student loans, or at least I would if I could get some. Hoping I'll get approved for loans at my B.A. school because I wasn't at my A.A. school.
Confession: i told my boss i was going to stay until 4 but i think i'm going to leave as soon as i'm done with this post.
AW: we're getting our family photos taken by Noah Wolf tomorrow. can't wait!
Rant: i got my hand slapped at work last week because i was bitching about work on FB. so, hey tattletale, thanks a lot. but, i guess it was a good wake up call that i need to reign in my FB and limit it to people i see face to face regularly (and NO work people!). it's unfortunate but i deleted over 1/3 of the people i had on my FB, including cousins and other family members that i never talk to. i want it to be a safe place for me to be me!
Confession: I totally took an hour nap when I should have been doing homework and it felt AMAZING.
AW: My mom's in town helping us move and we're going shopping on Monday! Can't wait!
Rant: I'm mad at myself because I am never happy with the weather. First it's too hot and now I am FREEZING! I wish I could just be satisfied.
AW: I'm so proud of my DH. His personality and persistence led to getting a trial IT job for a company. He started today. And I feel guilty for telling him that he was 'stalking' this employer by calling so much. Turns out it was what they wanted.
Rant: Full time, permanent jobs in IT seem to be a thing of the past. I'm crossing everything I have that this job works out for DH because it would be full time permanent and none of the other feelers that he has had have even been close to that.
Confession: I planned our anniversary trip to NC, SC, GA & TN this week. Even though DH didn't have a job and we could use the money in savings as a cushion, we decided to still take the trip. I feel freaking guilty, but I'm excited to go.
I hear ya. I was friends with some of the guys that work in the field at my work and they saw some of my vacay pictures and started yarping to each other about how I must make too much $, etc. Nope, I don't. I just don't have kids, don't spend my $ on stupid crap (cigarettes, energy drinks, etc) and I have a spouse that makes decent $. After that I went through and deleted everyone that I am not really friends with or don't enjoy FB stalking ;-)
Confession: Our house is so dirty and nasty and I'm home all day because I don't have a job. You'd think I'd be keeping this house clean. I think I'm going to make this a priority next week.
AW: Nothing....my life sucks right now. I'm hoping it will get better soon.
Rant: I graduated from school in December and started looking for a job two months before then, and here I am almost a year later and I don't have a job. I have been on 11 interviews, sent out 50 plus resumes, offered one position and didn't accept (the boss made me very uncomfortable during my interview and asked inappropriate questions), and NOTHING! I should be almost done with my internship instead I haven't even started
Confession: My parents are going to remodel and replace some areas of their house, and I'm trying to score as many castoffs as I can! I've already laid claim to the washer/dryer and the carpeting, even though Big D doesn't like the color. Hey, it's free!
AW: Big D is finally working full-time and is doing really well at his new job. He's had a big weight lifted off of him, and I'm so glad for him and us!
Rant: Money, money, money. I feel like we did nothing but spend this whole summer. Hopefully we will get into a good savings plan this fall and keep it going!
My mom is moving and we're doing the same thing!! We got her stove and dishwasher. Plus, since she's moving into a townhouse, we got her lawn mower and snow blower and other random garden stuff. It's great!
Confession: My cousin's rehearsal dinner that I just went to put ours to shame. I'm totally judging our piddly Famous Daves rehearsal dinner now.
AW: The power of Pesties (Pets Nesties) is strong! My boys are staying in loving happy homes with other doggies this weekend and I am SO THANKFUL and APPRECIATIVE!!! It's amazing how generous people can be!!!
Rant: I just ate WAY. TOO. MUCH. at my cousin's rehearsal dinner. It was family style at Maggiano's and it was SO SO SO GOOD! I'm going to have to take it easy tomorrow or my dress won't zip for the wedding!!
:-) :-)
He has a way of quietly sneaking his way into your heart and getting stuck there forever. :-) Just remember he will be coming back home with us on Monday!! :-)
And THANK YOU!!!! :-)
Confession: I slept 10 hours Friday night, took a 3 hour nap yesterday and slept 9 hours last night. It felt amazing.
AW: DH had a phone interview on Thursday and I am sooooo hoping they call him for an in person inerview. Also, I'm going to an auntie again! I'm so freaking excited!!!
Rants: I need DH to get a job. Ten months of searching and applying with no call backs is seriously depressing. At this point I don't care what it is or what he makes. Come October 2nd if he doesn't have one we are screwed.
my read shelf:
I feel the same way! There's been some stuff going on with our fam lately and I used to be able to just blab about anything on FB but there are just too many people I've friended at this point and they'd tell other people (who are not my FB friends) who I just don't care to have know our daily news. Oh well.
