Random whining

Sometimes, I just need to whine about stupid sh!t. Let's make a thread of whiney, non-life-threatening complaints.

So...go!

Re: Random whining

  • As the TMI thread may have indicated, I'm really uncomfortable here at work, and wish I could unbutton my pants to get more room and less pressure on my belly.

    • I feel like I've moved back to small-town BFN Oregon and we're only in Renton! But we have nowhere near us to get REAL fancy cheeses, only stupid store-brand brie, etc. Lovely, since I discovered goat cheese is the only kind I can eat anymore that doesn't cause digestive distress.
    • No Thai places deliver to our neighborhood! It's not like we're in the boonies, we're 5 blocks from Rainier! There are MULTIPLE Thai places in less than 3 mile radius from us!

  • I think I am going insane being stuck here! I can't really get dressed because nothing can touch my leg without it hurting and I cannot drive due to pain meds.... I left for lunch yesterday but I am already bored.

    I am sitting around in giant sweat pants and that just makes me feel more blah!

    ETA: he would never admit it but I think my hubby is getting sick of taking care of me =(

  • well I'm such an AW I made a whole post just to whine about my own problems :)

    otherwise... um, I guess things are ok.  Once a week for this rotation H will spend a half day in a sports med clinic.  This clinic happens to be at a large university so he'll maybe work with some football players on our favorite team :D

    ETA: lol sorry, I realize now that wasn't really a whine - although maybe I'm jealous because I actually used to be really interested in sports medicine and I kind of wish I got to go!

    My BFF has the most annoying FB status right now. It says "I almost went out of the house in yoga pants today. Gasp!" And then a bunch of her sorority sisters went on and on about how you aren't supposed to leave the house looking less than perfect. No wet hair. Not yoga pants...unless you're going to yoga. I wanted to write...seriously!? Is this a realy thing? It's ridiculous. But I didn't want to get into it with her. I go to the grocery store in yoga pants, Uggs and a sweat shirt if the weather is sh!ty out and I don't feel bad about it at all.

     These girls would hate me =)

    who says you can only wear your wedding dress once?

  • Eh, I think that's an east coast thing.

    I went to school in LA and was in a sorority (and a social sorority at that), and while appearance was definitely important, we totally wore yoga pants (well, even the ridiculous juicy sweatsuits and uggs, haha, back when they were still "in style").

    Though I definitely don't feel as put together wearing yoga pants, and only wear them for lounging around, or certain errands.  

  • Ugh, majorly annoyed about an HOA issue. We live in a townhome complex, and our rules and regulations don't allow for any external building modifications without HOA approval. Our next door neighbors installed two floodlights, one in the back which shines right in our back yard anytime we go out there (super annoying when we're trying to have a candlelight dinner, for example), and one in the front that shines in our front door. They also don't match with any of the lighting in the rest of the complex.

    I'm on the board, and a decision was made to that they need to remove the lights.  

    I missed an HOA meeting for our honeymoon, and apparently the board decided that the new course of action is for me and DH to go talk to the neighbors directly. And this will go in the meeting minutes. First of all, now the neighbors know that we're the ones who complained, and second of all, what's the point of regulations when they're not actually enforced. The reason we have an HOA is so they're the one who deals with these issues. We own this place, we really don't want our neighbors to hate us. Argh. 

  • EIP. sorry about the HOA issues. can you pass it off as "someone is complaining"...since you're on the board, you can blame it on them. that's what *i* do, since 'm on the board too...and i'm the biggest complainer haha.

  • EIP - that's LAME. Exactly what Jennlin said, that's the POINT of the board! I like how they made this decision when you were on your HM, seems like an underhanded effort to undermine you for some reason.

    Forgot my 3rd random whine - was at Target 2 days ago and went to buy some new undies (yes, I wear nonfancy Hanes cotton bikinis in fun colors. H thinks they're cute/sexy/sporty and I find them comfy). They changed the style! They doubled the width of the waistband and I didn't like them. Boo...now I have to start all over finding a new brand/style. I don't like buying ridiculously expensive undies because, well, frankly sometimes they get ruined unexpectedly due to being female, and also because I carry my weight in the undie region and it's hard to find comfortable cute ones that aren't too tight around my chunky upper thighs.

  • KST, have you looked at the pink undies from victoria secret? I used to wear exclusively hanky pankies, but when I had to rebuy all new underwear after weight loss, I decided to go cheaper to conserve monies. they have some really cute bikini style cotton ones.
