I keep composing posts and then deleting them
I want to spark some conversation up in this bi-yoch, but I keep changing my mind about everything I start to post.
Maybe you guys can just post some random / confession / flameful stuff and perhaps something will stick.

Re: I keep composing posts and then deleting them
How about this one?
I've been doing a lot of thinking about my future, and now that I'm "starting over," it's very important to me to support myself financially and to continue my path of being a career woman. When I got married, my XH planned for me to basically quit my job and be a stay at home mom once we have kids. Obviously, I protested every step of the way because I'm independent and thought, how dare he? He'll get all the success, and I'll be barefoot and pregnant. Awesome.
Now that I'm unmarried, back to being a professional woman (aka corporate slave), working 10 - 12 hour days, and dealing with corporate BS, I think, DANG it would be nice to just wake up whenever I wanted, surf on Pinterest at my leisure, bake chocolate chip cookie dough brownies and buffalo chicken dip, and watch trashy TV in the middle of the day, just because I want to!
So... is it bad that I dream about quitting my job someday in hopes of settling down again with a super wealthy man who adores me and allows me to stay at home?
I have a feeling this is how I'm going to feel once I start working at a firm. The grass is always greener right?
I did that like 80 times yesterday lol!
Hmmm...I quit smoking over a week ago (I didn't smoke much to begin with) but right now, I would cut someone for a cig. AF is here and she's being none too kind so I've been eating cookies and DS's birthday cake all week (he didn't like it anyways). My sister and BIL are coming tomorrow and I'll be getting quite drunk to celebrate my sister time with her. There will also be a mini-sticks game in our hallway with said drinks.
What's "mini-sticks"?
I don't think it's bad. I sometimes wish I could have that option too, but I think I would go crazy after a while being a SAHM.
Why, I'm glad you asked! They're just mini plastic hockey sticks for kids. My dad got DS some for his birthday but he doesn't quite get the concept just yet. They're a whole lot of fun!
Drunk miniature hockey? What's your address? I'm so there!
I quit over a year ago (half pack a day) and I feel exactly the same right now. Discussing finances w/ DH is like beating my head into a brick wall. Hrm starting to remind me of ex-H, that's a ton of fun.
The more the merrier! Round-robin tourny in the hallway lol! At least this time we have actual sticks-my sister and I used to play with wooden spoons.
