Let's hear 'em!
Re: FFFC's
An ex of H's posted a picture of them on FB from when they dated [back in '03], then proceeded to blast him about how bad he treated her post-breakup and how she's forgiven him now and blah blah blah. It shouldn't bother me since they were together more than a year before I got with H, but it kinda does. Not sure why.
My mom has DS for the weekend. I plan on consuming lots of wine and watching movies.
I honestly think I would have to ask the b!tch what she is up too posting things like that. He has moved on so get over it and leave it alone.
Yay for getting to have a kid free weekend.
I'm getting in an airplane on September 11th. People I know think I'm effin' nuts, including my husband (who apparently didn't realize we were flying that day until last night..?).
I guess I don't see the big deal...? I know it's a tragic anniversary, and I know there are people thinking there's going to be some big, bad attack that day. But the chance of an attack is incredibly slim, and I'm not going to let irrational fear get in the way of my vacation. I could be traveling on April 28th [or insert random date here], and there would be the exact same risk as traveling on September 11th.

And also, the chances of someone wanting to attack a plane leaving from Oklahoma City is slim.
Well, technically Dallas to O'Hare. But yes. Unlikely. I'm not even concerned about our connection in Newark on the way back.

If it makes you (or anyone else) feel better - I flew from Houston to Newark, then a few days later from Newark to Boston when the terror level was blazing red. I was sh!tting bricks, I won't lie but...it was fine. I think I lost about 10 pounds though from all the sh!tting.
I have a friend that I grew up with on my FB. Don't really talk to her all that much. But her posts are driving me nuts! She had recently (probably in the last year) become vegan. Fine that's great whatever. But she posts all the time about she loves how she doesn't eat dead animals anymore and the articles she posts are all about meat eaters are murderers. I should just hide her pists and be done with it but want I really want is post a picture of me eating huge juicy hamburger and put it on her wall.
I really wish people would stop thinking articles from the Oinion are true. Seriously people do a little research before you post articles that really don't make any sense and that are beyond ridiculous.
LOL!! Do it, I dare ya!!
I get so sick and tired of all the high school drama that goes on at my job. We are all supposed to be adults but no one ever wants to act like one. I would love nothing more than to just walk out and say SUCK IT, however, that really isn't practical when we are selling our house and building a new one.
Alright ladies, our kitchen will be demo'd on Monday.
Which means the next 60 days will be spent with me whining around about how messy the house is, how p!ssed off I am that things are getting done on my timeline, how much DH is annoying me, etc etc. So be prepared.
To get me started let me just that say that: DH is already driving me crazy. I made a budget for this kitchen nearly six months ago. DH made one two weeks ago. It is $10k less. My budget, according to the estimate we received from our contractor a few days ago, is spot on. It is almost like DH thinks that if he puts a few numbers into a spreadsheet, even if they aren't right, the fact that the numbers are in a spreadsheet will make them "true." Now he is having horrendous buyer's remorse and is totally freaking out. It is his own fault. Who budgets for $40 a square foot granite? Does that even exist? Does he realize who he is married to? I am really glad he is a "half is glass full" kind of guy but.....he totally misses half of the picture, then I have to talk him down from the ledge. So frustrating.
I'm a talker. I know that about myself. But people who can't self-censor (that is, realize when you're talking in a stream of consciousness, just to hear yourself talk, or even though everyone else is ready to move on) occasionally get on my nerves. Today is one of those days.
Also, flammable for half of you: DH and I went to our first OSU (Well, this OSU anyway) game last night! We cheered them on. We plan on going down to Norman in a couple of weeks to go to our first OU game (and cheer them on!) We're true fence-sitters when it comes to Oklahoma football.
Even though I am from Norman originally, I was driving through it last week and thought the entire town seemed dumpy and every car I passed had a trashy looking person in it.
Huh. See, I think that might be the problem - that you think you should be eating to live but not living to eat. Food is a GREAT thing - some of my best life memories are while having a good meal. And a good portion of DH and my bonding time is while we are making dinner or over the dining room table. I am not sure how to get my point across but...I wonder if the philosophy of eating to live makes you feel as if you are denying yourself something really great which makes the process much worse?!? I don't know.
I'm tired of ppl being fake, gossiping, and acting like blameless martyr-victims. If you've got something to say, say it to my face. But don't dish it out if you can't take it! Oh, you'll get it back!...b/c I'm tired of ignoring all the b.s. and trying not to be rude. It's even more pathetic when these ppl are almost 20 years older than me.
I'm also tired of people not doing what they say they're going to do. Either do it or don't say it in the first place. Because when you say you're going to do something and you DON'T do it, that makes you a liar. (Once, I'd understand, but multiple times is just a lying.) I don't like liars.
