Confession session
I'm still wearing my wedding day nail polish on my toes.
I just realized this because I'm sitting at my desk barefoot because my shoes & socks are so waterlogged. Friggin' rain.
Your turn...

Re: Confession session
Don't feel too bad. I just finally removed mine and repainted last week. And my wedding was 3 weeks before yours! I'm gross.
I've been doing absolutely nothing at work for the past several weeks. I'm kinda waiting for TN to get blocked b/c I spend so much time here. It's not like it's even that busy around here. I'm just *that* uninterested in work at the moment. Uggghhhhh. Why didn't I marry rich??
I had to take all my nail polish off on the HM because the pool water turned it into gunk.
My confession: I think my friendship with MOH is falling apart. We were SOOOOOO close and now . . . idk. I think if we didn't have wii night once a week, we'd never hang out or talk anymore. I really don't know how to fix it. I'm a very blunt and straightforward person and I feel like she's starting to take everything I say as an attack. She's also admitted to me that she has a problem with being jealous of me and I really don't know what to say to that.
P.S. Stef, I LOVE your siggy pic! Something about the shadows really intrigues me.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.

Word. I'm almost convinced to start having kids just to not have to work. But then I remember - the grass is always greener... I know I'd be bummed if we couldn't travel and all that stuff.
I don't know why I've been in such a funk lately. I really need to get my azz in gear before my boss starts getting seriously ticked. I know she can tell I've been a total slacker and scatterbrained lately. Not good.
Up until Sunday's pedicure, I also still had on the same nail polish from the wedding.
And I also can join in on the unproductiveness at work. Some days I'm great and other days I'm sitting at my desk just looking around.
Apparently I'm just a piggybacker and have no confessions of my own.
Married / The Cookaholic Wife
2 weeks ago my SIL was trying to make a pie from "scratch" so she said (I'm not quite sure what she considers scratch since she doesnt cook or bake). Apparently after 4 attempts at this pie it still sucked and she's given up on making anything from scratch again.
We get together with Don's family on Christmas Eve and this year I'm going to make sure all my desserts are 100% from scratch (no short cuts) to bring and make sure that I drop that line a few times while she's in ear shot...just to rub it in a little bit!
Oh, and I'm going to make my neice (her daughter) a blanket for Christmas too, which I know SIL will just love (bwahahahahahah)
I get a little satisfaction knowing that I'm better at things like that than she is since she always has to be miss perfect and the center of attention!
Jen - you just made me think of another one...
My grandma has started being really competitive with my mom and I for gifts bought for my niece. She let it slip last weekend while we were home that she bought my niece one of those recordable books for Christmas (that K and I had already decided we would get her since we live far away). So I went and bought one and K and I recorded it and put it in the mail to her so that she'll get ours before my grandma's.
Totally petty and unnecessary, but for some reason makes me feel better. I suck as a granddaughter.
I still had my toe nail polish on up until two weeks ago. I have yet to take my dress to be cleaned. Perhaps I'll take it this weekend.
I'm a competitive person, always have been even as a child so I completely understand where you ladies are coming from! I remember when my brother and I used to play Monopoly and I would be losing. I would get pi$$ed and throw all the pieces off the board...damn, I was a brat.
I still have my toenail polish on. I haven't gone barefoot in so long that I don't really notice, and when I AM barefoot (like right after the shower) I'm sort of fascinated at a) how well it's stayed on, and b) how much my toenails have grown out since 9/10. Don't worry, I still trim them, but I can see the big gap of unpolished nail. All the toes but my big toe have almost grown completely out - the next time I trim my nails, there likely won't be any polish left.
My confession is that I haven't done a shred of work today. I've been letting my jeans dry by the heater under my desk, and waiting until lunch. I will work after lunch.
All that. And I totally wanted to use my back pain as a reason to not come into work today. Instead I'm using it to leave early.
Stef- and everyone else you said this... I am right with you on the toe nail polish thing! I haven't touched it since the wedding except to trim them. I am not usually a polish kind of girl though, so it truly doesn't say anything about me being lazy or whatever, I just don't really bother with it.
I confess that I too am fighting the baby bug a bit. I don't want to do anything but bake, clean and scrapbook lately. Work.. yeah right.
On a related note- I confess that I am quickly making the decision to move onto another work option after this Spring... if I don't get a "real" full-time teaching position, I wont be returning to substituting next school year. The company that pays us just keeps getting more ridiculous wih rules and other crap and apparently it isn't giving me a leg up with getting hired somewhere since I have been playing this game for almost 5 years now. *sigh* it is SUCH a long and frustrating story of my life right now. I may have to go to retail or something.... so glad I got MY degree for no reason.
Confessions:
1. I'm jealous of BFF that just announced that she's KU AND that she's out of the country. So I don't *really* get to be Aunt Misty until they decide to move back
2. I had only 6 files to follow up on before 9 (I usually have about 20) and I only got 3 done. NO.MOTIVATION.WHATSOEVER.
3. I've spent about $300 on DH for Christmas and haven't really shopped for anyone else. Rapidly going broke. May have to return some shiz. Bad me.
4. After having chili for three consecutive meals (and it's packed for lunch again today), my stomach is wreaking havoc and my co-workers are in the line of fire...
I have no motivation to do any christmas shopping. I don't want to shop for DH's sister or BIL b/c they get us crap each year even though we go all out for their kids. This baby better seriously get spoiled next Christmas or we're going to figure out a cheaper gift exchange with them.
I am annoyed with DH for not even offering to contribute to the lab/doctor bills for my OB appts. He helped make this damn baby too. I know if I suggested he'd be fine with taking it out of our joint account, but I want him to come up with the idea himself...I'm not complaining about the cost because it's fun to talk about!
All I want to do is take a nap. Working for a living blows.
I feel you brew...
I confess I've had frozen white castle burgers for lunch everyday this week.
I confess that I LOL-ed at the competitive grandmother story even though I think it's naughty. I loved my gm dearly.
I confess that last night I absent mindedly started picking off the remnants of my wedding toe nail-polish. Very impressive since it survived many days of swimming in the pacific.
I confess that even though my period isn't dude till next week, I kinda want to pee on a stick. I've been getting/imagining the slightest hints that something could be going on. Dunno what's wrong with me. I don't even really want kids! or so I thought...
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash
BFP #1 - May 2011 - m/c @ 8weeks
IUI #1 - July 26 2012 - Femara = BFN
Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
This! I"m so over work. I really wish the world would go back to the barter system. I have done jack this week!
Also, the flu is going around at work and if i get it, i'm going to whoop some butt!
I just ate my lunch and I'm still hungy. Gonna be a long afternoon. :-/
I have no interest in work whatsoever.
I have no interest in speaking to my MIL, FIL or SIL and her familly ever again. They are total aholes and they are treating MFD horribly. This is NOT how I wanted to start off my married life. As my mother says, they are energy vampires who aren't going to change. I need to figure out a way to have their negativity and BS have less of an impact on our lives.
Thank God for my other SIL.
I am so super pissed that J took my car to his family "friend's" shop today to have the oil changed and tires rotated only to get a bill for the oil change + new air filter & cabin filter + labor.. what doesn't belong here? Shouldn't a mechanic always, always, ALWAYS ask before proceeding with work that wasn't requested? Yeah, I get I may have needed those things but could you have at least asked first? I could have done that junk myself for half the cost.
Oh, and they didn't rotate my tires because they were all "worn evenly".. yes, no sh!t, isn't the purpose of rotating them? Do it.

IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Susie, is it possible he doesn't even know how you're paying for this stuff? DH and I haven't opened a joint account yet because I haven't gotten my new ID, but we do use a joint credit card. He's always surprised if I forget to use it for joint expenses, and babies are definitely a joint expense!
