Re: Tuesday Confessions

  • I confess to getting a Kohl's card last night to save money on a bunch of clothes w/ a 30% discount, even though I swore I wouldn't get any more store cards. I rationalized that I'd be getting rid of the Lane Bryant card, so the total number would stay the same... I always pay everything off in full each month, so it's strictly just for discounts, but I still feel like crap about it.

  • I confess that my boobs have grown to the point that none of my bras fit and I feel like everyone is staring at them!  I'm sure that probably isn't the case but I'm so overly concious of them.  I wish it was still 30 degress outside so I could wear really big sweaters to hide them.

    I confess that this side-effect of pregnancy kind of freaks me out. My boobs are already gigantic, I don't see how they could get bigger!

    I love my kohls card and all the coupons that come with it!!!!  I also pay mine off immediately after we use it.

    On a similar note, I confess that I am jealous of how well thought out a friend of ours engagement was. I am also jealous that her center diamond is .10 of a carat bigger than mine.

    This is one of the side effects I always dreaded b/c I hated my boobs before and now I really hate them!  H on the other hands loves them and really wants to play with them (total TMI, I realize) but they hurt like holy heck right now (and I'm still on pelvic rest, poor H)!!

    I think this statement requires a PIP!

  • I confess that I started using a neti pot yesterday to hep my allergies, and after using it a couple of times, I feel like I've been swimming in the ocean and have "water ear", even though there's nothing IN my ear. So far the results have been pretty minor. I'm hoping that the results are cumulative and after a couple of weeks the results will be what I was originally expecting.

  • I too would like to see this ugly e-ring. I'm guessing yellow gold, pear shaped?

    And LOL @ .10 of a carat bigger. That's the width of a piece of paper! It's so tiny you really can't even tell it's any bigger. :)

  • Wow.. what's so wrong with anyone's engagement ring as long as they are happy with it?

    *looks down at her yellow gold oval & round diamond set* I love mine!

  • I want to see this ring or at least a description.

    I admit I have seen a few rings that made me go I'm glad mine is a pretty classic style. 

    I also ate way to much for dinner yesterday. We had a friend over and I made a pork roast, mashed potatoes, carrots and green beans. All pretty healthy until he said I'll take you guys out for dessert.Enter huge slice of chocolate cake. :/ I guess I can say at least we walked to get dessert. 

    I confess I am also going to try the 30 day shred dvd I've heard so much about. I'm kind of nervous it will be a total fail for me.  I ran for the first time in a while on Sunday and it wasn't my best run. I was doing so good before I went on vacation.

    just because someone likes something doesn't make it not ugly. not saying your set is ugly...but i've seen some ugly ones.

     

  • I confess that now that I actually have more time to be on this board, I find it not nearly as fun as it used to be back in the day.

    Amen, to much *unnecessary* snark  (for me)

  • I confess it kinda bugs me that Harlie is the only baby in her class (of 6 total babies, 3 of which are 4-6 weeks older than her, 1 the same age and 1 that is 2 weeks younger) without an "I can roll over" sign on her crib.  Her pedi assures me there's nothing wrong with her and she's advanced in other areas such as socialization, but it still bugs me.

    i think you ought to make her a different sign...like "i can sue you for rolling over on me, cuz my mama is an awesome lawyer".

    or something =)

  • I confess that I am kind of annoyed that even though my DH, in-laws, and SIL were around all weekend... I never got a break from DD. Now DD is not feeling well and is super cranky, I am super stressed. I can't wait for DH to get home from work, but I am sure per usual he won't be home until 7:30pm.. and even when he gets home, he will turn around and take the dog for a 30 minute walk. Bitter party of 1 please.

  • I just bought a new book for my kindle and it sucks, but I bought it so now I feel that I have to read it. I wish I had ordered a sample. I am in desperate need for some new and good books.

    what are you in to?

  • I read anything. I run the gambit of Sookie Stackhouse to Historical Fiction. I caved and bought a Coco Chanel book. I just couldn't take what I bought it was written so bad.

    I like series books because I read very fast. But if you've got any suggestions I'll take them. :D

  • I just got a call from my OB letting me know that at my appointment on Thursday I will need to go ahead and pay the first installment of what they determined will be my labor and delivery costs.  Seriously?!?!  I realize it's common practice to collect these fees prior to delivery but you can't wait til after the first trimester to start collecting?!?  Less than a week ago I was told I'm still at risk of losing the baby yet now I have to go ahead and pay for L&D.  I'm highly irritated by this.

  • i loved shiver by maggie stiefvater, and the follow-up linger...the 3rd part comes out this summer.

    orange is the new black is one of the best memoirs i've ever read

    if you like science and learning things, the immortal life of henrietta lacks was super interesting

    i like most everything wally lamb writes, but the hour i first believed was my favorite so far.

    i am OBSESSED with jasper fforde's thursday next series...the 6th installment came out last week, i bought the first on a whim to read on spring break senior year...ADORED it, and found the other 3 that were already out. since then 2 more have come out.

    That seems highly insensitive of them, and I would flat out refuse to pay until at least 12 weeks. I'm sorry they even said that to you. :(

  • Thanks! I added what I could to my wish list.  Orange is the new black sounds really interesting. I also remember reading articles about Henrietta Lacks.

    I actually met Wally Lamb in college during a lecture. It was pretty interesting.

  • Just found out this weekend will be our last weekend alone due to family/friends are coming to visit the next 4 weekends.  Somewhat irritated that some people are just using us for a free night stay on their way to Florida.  I'm thinking about saying something suddenly came up and they can't stay.  AF is coming - watch out people!!

    This was my family growing up. It is so annoying.
