Thursday Confessions
I need some entertainment. So what do you confess today?
Re: Thursday Confessions
I could confess this almost everyday, lol.
My confession is that I just found out one of my very good friends from high school is pregnant, and I don't really know how I feel about that. I guess I am excited for her because that is what she wanted, but I can't help but be annoyed. She is 22 years old I know she thinks she is an old maid already. There are so many people that I went to school with that have babies, and sometimes I just wonder WTF they are thinking.
Another one: this is why I hate FB. Another girl I went to school with just got a job with HSN. She bought a new $120,000 car. She makes me feel like such a slacker. I really need to quit comparing myself to others. I really do love my life, but dang.

My work pants are strangely uncomfortable and tight today. I can't wait to go home and change into sweats.
DH has a couple gray hairs on the back of his head. He's 29 so that's normal, and his dad is completely gray, but I don't want to tell him about them.
I've been spending waaaay too much time on the internet at work this week.
Happy confession: I had food poisoning this week that I finally got over yesterday. The result of 4 days of barely eating....my clothes suddenly fit around the tummy!
Now the trick is to keep them fitting.
My Bio (wedding pics added 7/6)
My 101
I just started working out again this week (you know, since taking a break since June 2009)
I am so sore right now, I'm hobbling around work like an old lady.
I think a lot of my friends' babies are fug. I'm pretty sure karma is going to get back at me someday.
I haven't made dinner all week.

I confess that lately I've been fantasizing about deactivating my FB account, stopping posting here, and quitting blogging all together. Just to see how much I could accomplish without this constant distraction.

Although I told my boss that I want to move in about 2-3 years, I think we are going to try to move in Feb-Mar when our lease is up.
When MIL called to say her husband was in the hospital with pneumonia, I wished it was her in the hospital. There is no justice.
I wish people wouldn't get completely giddy about Amelia. I love her with all of my heart but to pretty much everyone else - she is just a baby. Yup, she may be cute. Yup, she is usually dressed in fun clothes and has adorable accessories. But when a grown woman all but pisses herself over my child - it's just creepy. (Ahem weird lady in Target the other day and DH's aunt)
In all of the cleaning out that I am doing, it is not just my stuff that is going and this has not been pointed out to DH. But the things that I am throwing are legitimately garbage (junk mail from 4 years ago!) This place looks so much better though. For the first time in a long time I do not feel claustrophobic in my own home.
Previous confession may be inspired by the many episodes of Hoarders that I watched in the past week.
I think about this too. Frequently. I'd probably keep FB because, well, it's one of the only ways I keep in touch with people. But letting the rest of it all go seems so...freeing...
Real confession - I essentially told my boss that I hated my job this morning and that I want to know what other opportunities there are. They just hired a new person for my department and I have a feeling they are going to try to give her the only parts of my job that I do like (because they are the only parts any normal person would like). I've pretty much gotten to the point where I dont even really try at work anymore - it sucks and I'm just waiting until I get to go on maternity leave.
I also confess that I went to a charity luncheon today strictly for the purpose of getting out of the office for 2 hours - and I brought my own lunch with me so that I could still eat because I knew the luncheon would have crappy banquet food that I wouldn't like. (I was right and so glad I had snacks.)

Married
1.) I'm trying really hard to be strong but I feel really bitter and angry about the news we got on Monday.
2.) There's major family dramz going on right now and I'm honestly fine with the idea of never speaking to my sister again. I feel guilty for feeling that way.
