Confessions

It's that time again!

I'm alone in the office today--bosses are in FL and co-worker is out with the flu.  I fully intend to do NOTHING but read and play on the internet today :)

Re: Confessions

  • I'm suppose to be going out for my birthday tomorrow night since my real birthday is next wed. Last year when I went out I had the greatest night of my life and this year just seems like it's not going to be half as great as last year was.

  • I have been SUPER hormonal and emotional this week. Normally I am b!tchy when I have my period not before. So this is new....ugh I feel sorry for him. I got super emotional/b!tchy over something stupid last night. I recognize that it is not normal when I am feeling this week, but it just takes a little while and it passes... Embarrassed

  • I just recently took on a second job parttime, but all total I am working 68 hours a week.  I am really being to regret my decision, but really need the money.

    SO - teenager and hubby better step it up and help around the house.

    Could it be completion of a goal that you worked really hard to achieve? I felt a lot of depression after the initial buzz of my half completion wore off. There were lots of mixed emotions about doing something I had always wanted to do, but never thought I could.

  • I slept by myself last night because BF stayed over his ex-roommate's house and I woke up buzzing today. I quit my 2nd job this week and I don't know if it's knowing that I only have to work 40 hours a week, but I am so HAPPY today for the first time in months and months. I feel good, maybe because I did some "Me Time" stuff last night like talking on the phone to one of my girlfriends for 2 hours while eating oreos in bed...lol. I just feel great today for the first time in a while.
    Aye karramba.
  • I went to trivia with a much older man last night. I was a little hesitant, but I ended up having a great time. & he brought me a Chick Fil A chicken biscuit & a bottle of Kahlua Peppermint Mocha to my office this morning Yes

  • While my money situation is gettting better... it will not be good until January. It is only a little over a months away, but it sucks that I will barely be able to provide Christmas for DD. I am very thankful she is so young and getting one gift and homemade items makes her just as happy as expensive things.

    Yes  Older men have their advantages, for sure!

    Maybe now you'll realize why co-dependency is bad for you.  Don't you want to feel this good every day?

  • This isn't really a confession I don't think...well maybe it is.

    I think this lay off has been harder on me than the divorce. At least with the divorce I could say after x date this will be done. With the lay off I know that after 12/31 I no longer have a job unless one of these companies I apply for before then hire me. I'm throwing my resume out like you'd throw spaghetti against a wall just to see what sticks lol

  • Sometimes I consider taking a Xanax before work to deal with the people around here.
  • I'm looking forward to running into my lil boy toy (12 years younger than me) this weekend.  Flirting with him makes me feel more alive than I have in a long time with my H.  And I'm totally not ashamed over the age difference and that I'm still living with H for another 2 weeks.  Wink

    I hear ya. My boy toy was 7 years younger. Good to look at & flirt with, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) that's it.

  • There's a 21 year old that has been texting me (I gave him my # out one night -- he did not look 21).  He's fun to flirt with and I'm in a bit of a dry spell right now and seriously thinking about taking him up on some of his offers.

  • Claire- I just noticed your siggy pic and it made my morning. Love it. 

    My confession: There are a few friends in my nursing program that are really cool but I am losing motivation to keep up with them since they are moving away next month. I know that once they are gone they won't try to really make an effort to hang out anymore either so I am trying not to feel bad about it.

    Thanks. Maybe that is it...seriously, I nEVER get that emotional ever over stupid stuff, and when it was actually happening I KNEW it was not normal, but couldn't stop it. I feel like I have no more running goals right now...I was going to step up my long runs and train for a marathon, but I dont think I want to devote that much time to running 25-30+ miles per week. I am fine with doing the long runs on the weekend, but I like to keep my runs during the week short, which I could not do with marathon training. I feel like I am in limbo!

  • I spent way to much money on myself this week...I feel a little guilty because its right before Christmas, but I never end up spending my birthday money on me, and this year damnit I am.

    When my DS was probably 3 or 4 I started the "Santa only brings 3 gifts" - It kind of goes along with that whole 3 wise men thing. He gets one kind of big gift and then 2 medium gifts. The ones from me are the board games, or clothes or books. Santa's gifts are always the cool ones...but it really limits the spending aspect of it.

  • I am debating on whether or not to go home for Thanksgiving. Home is only an hour away and the trip would be less than 24 hours, but my sister is toxic and I don't know if I want to put up with her. I'm tempted to go to new BF's family dinner. I know I'll cave and go home because I don't want to hurt my mom's feelings, but its soo tempting!

    I was raised similar. 1 big gift from santa, and a couple small things as well as a stocking. I will be doing this as well.

  • I never changed my name on my passport. My divorce won't be finalized til next month, but I've already started my legal name change at work using my passport.
    It's just me and my Marlon now... and I LOVE it that way!
  • When I was packing up some clothes last weekend BF discovered my personal naughty drawer.  We had an impromptu swordfight with the vibrators.  

     

    This is my siggy.
  • I am thinking of transfer closer to family and friends just so that when I go away for work. (2 weeks away, 1 week home) my DH will be closer to family and friends so he doesn't have to be alone when I am gone as much. (This will increase my pay 10x but it will cut his pay almost in half. But it may be better in the long run. (he may not be so lonely) :)

  • I'm feeling like total junk today.
  • I pushed a morning meeting to the afternoon so I could go see Breaking Dawn claiming I had an "away morning meeting"

  • I'm supposed to go hang out with a friend after work today, but I've been racking my brain for an excuse to cancel all day. She's a good friend, but she's a bit exhausting at times.
