Frrrrrrriday confessions. 'Fess the F up!
1. I smell like a boy today because I had to wear The Artist's deodorant this a.m. because I forgot mine 
2. I am jealous of the ladies who sold their huge diamond engagement rings and did awesome sh!t with the money they got. Even if I hadn't given my rings back to XH, I wouldn't have gotten anything for selling them. They were cheap.

Re: Frrrrrrriday confessions. 'Fess the F up!
I spent the night at Mr. Kyk's last night and didn't leave his place until 8am this morning. I am supposed to be AT WORK at 8.
I still had to go home, walk the dogs, feed them and get ready for work. Needless to say, I was VERY late. The boss didn't even notice.
ETA: I want to sell my rings, but I wouldn't get sh!t for them...
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
I called DILF my BF to the clerk at the DMV today. He wasn't with me, but the clerk and I were talking about dating and I said, "My BF blah blah..."
I'm afraid to sell my huge diamond ring--XH threatened to take me to court in MA for half the value. I know he doesn't have a legal leg to stand on but it still makes me nervous to sell it.
I recently came into a bit of cash and I know I should save it and/or pay some bills with it, Id much rather go on a shopping spree.
THe BF and I have been talking about living together and while I am nervous about the idea I know it would help me significantly with money. but its just talks right now....
BF's Bro and SIL are complete IDIOTS when it comes to raising children!!!! I can't stand either of them!
I am currently addicted to Sim's Social on FB
I'm eating a candy bar and a soda for breakfast... It's one of those days lol!
When I see BF next Thurs (Im in a LDR), I'm hoping he has something romantic planned.
Sometimes I feel like I love my new puppy more than my other dog. That makes me sad and guilty.
I'm kind of secretly looking forward to BF being gone for 3 weeks in December for his military training. I am looking forward to some alone time.
We recently had our anniversary. And even though we didn't discuss doing anything to celebrate, I was disappointed that he didn't do anything. Hello, lame girl!

This makes me giggle. I do this all the time at the cafeteria at the hospital. Dressing weighs so darn much that it isn't fair to pay for it by weight. If you want to charge me $50, fine but I'm not going to pay for it by the ounce.
Don't be jealous of me, Only. I had a huge e-ring but in a fit of rage I gave it back to XMIL because she was screeching that it was still on her CC. I still regret that.
I'm supposed to go to a party tomorrow evening and there's "someone" there that the hostess wants to introduce me to. I'm really not looking forward to it. It's kind of her mission in life to find me a man, not sure why, but it is. Should be interesting.
I am ready to scream that it is taking this long to get an approval from the second lender for my house. It's a short sale with 2 mortgages in default. It took a month and a half with the first lender approval so now i'm waiting on the second.
My stomach turns every time I see my sister. She has gained a crap load of weight with no intention of losing it. She stays with her now "fiance" because his family all weighs about 500 lbs so next to them she is skinny. I watched her eat the other night and she shovels in food by the fist full. I actually lose my appetite watching her. It almost looks and sounds like a pig eating at a trough.
That sucks!
Have fun at the party meeting the "Someone"!
Confession: I really enjoy this board and think of it as one of two of my 'home' boards, but I am finding myself posting less and less because I feel like a lot of the posts keep us harping on our XHs, rather than doing the whole "onward and upward" thing that we talk about. I think it's great to reference past experiences for those who are new to the board and looking for support, but that's different from rehashing just for the sake of it.
1) I splurged and bought the Frye boots I have been drooling over even though I should be putting every dollar I have away.
2) I cheated on my no sugar diet already today twice with candy. Damn Halloween remnants!
I will not flame you for this. I think it is an intelligent comment. For my own personal sake, I posted one of the recent "harping" XH posts. I was having a really downer of a day and I needed a laugh. Picturing Becca with a sh!t ton of ruined spoons really made me laugh and selfishly, I wanted more.

I also tend to avoid the "harping on our XHs" posts mostly because my XH was a nice guy and didn't do anything wrong or hurt me.
I guess I agree with you but I think it's an interesting dynamic because there are people here who've been divorced for a while and are thinking about dating/the next guy/maybe even the next marriage... then there are people who literally JUST made the decision to leave (or were just left).
So no post here will ever appeal to everyone I guess...
Confession:
I got a side job as a bartender and although I have been through more crap than they had at my age, and am pretty mature for 22, I will not tell my parents I'm bartending. So they don't worry or chide me.
And I'm being a lazy bill payer.
I might get flamed for this one:
Okay so I'm weak. GD (gorgeous doctor) gets off work in an hour & asked me to go to a movie.. he says we can take things slow. I think I know in my gut that he's not "the one" but I have ZERO plans this weekend & would love the companionship.
Sigh.. and the sex is unbelievable.
Flame away.
I can already tell you this is lame, but I've never done a confession before. I volunteer someplace on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons -- the two worst commutes of the week. I've been doing it about a year, and I love it. But I just told them I was going to have to stop the Monday morning shift after the first of December because of another commitment. But really, I am just sick of the Monday morning rush hour, and this way I won't have to dig my way out before dawn when it snows.
I feel so guilty ...
