Re: confessions/rants/raves/general musings

  • I told my hubby that I was meeting people at my uncle's apartment tonight to "get raped." Yes, it was a passive aggressive way to try and get him to offer to join me. I should have just asked, but the fact that he has absolutely no worries/concerns with me being at some apartment (it's a 4plex) on Capitol Hill and having a male stranger come meet me to look at furniture kind of upsets me. The chances of something bad happening are slim, but it really bugs me that he doesn't believe in taking most standard safety precautions (like being there WITH me). I also told him that I had one person coming at 6:30 and one at 7:30 so I'd have time to kill before and in between (thinking he'd suggest he could join me and we could get drinks or something) and his only answer was that I could go find food on Broadway. Not that I think anything bad would happen to me, but geez, sometimes I wish he'd be realistic about the world we do live in! It makes me feel sometimes like he wouldn't care if anything happened (I know that's not true, its irrational of me).

  • I was so PMS-y last night at work! I was reading a comic that was about super heroes that had aged and how the world was. Superman, Wonder Woman and the like. At one point one of the characters showed up whose mental facilities were pretty much gone. He wanted to help but couldn't contribute as much and it just broke my heart for some reason. He said he wanted to matter and help out, but he just couldn't! Oh jeez...tearing up again....

    So I started bawling right there in the store. Luckily there were no customers at that point, but three walked in and I had to get a hold of myself. Once they left, I called DH just blubbering, trying to explain what upset me. I'm sure he thought I was crazy cakes. Also, he was trying really hard to understand me since I was crying so hard.

    Holy PMS Batman!

  • I have a friend that has a lazy BF and it drives me crazy that she puts up with it. He lives in her house, pretty much rent free, she has to do all of the cooking and cleaning. He's unemployed, he's not going to school or looking for a job either. In fact, he's forgotten to file for unemployment some weeks. At least he finally got around to getting his GED about 2 years ago...

    She's super smart and successful and it just drives me nuts that she's still with this guy. 

    Oh, and I plan on getting really drunk at the wedding I have to go to tomorrow night. It might be the only way I can get through it without my eyes rolling out of my head. 



  • vent? my brother. and my parents. my parents wanted to gift my brother "equal" what they gifted me for my wedding....but since this is shotgun, my parents didn't get a chance to save for it, so they are borrowing money from me. they're borrowing more than what his wedding costs... which i get, because my parents want to be "fair" in their gifts, but it just bugs me because when i was making invites, my brother was asking me to send invites to everybody and asking them what they gave me for my wedding. every invitation he sees as a dollar sign on our family/extended family, and it just bugs me. that's not a reason to get married, and not a reason to invite people you have no-relationship with.

    also...i really don't know how i'm supposed to act around my new SIL. i've only met her once, and i wasn't really a fan...but my brother called me begging for support, because her sister won't support/approve their relationship. now that she's KTFU, it just shows more of her immaturity, and i like her even less. i know it's not all her fault, because my brother has had baby fever for over 10 years, but it does show that they didn't make the best decisions, especially after she had a "scare" a few months prior.

    i hate being the responsible sibling. i want freebies and handouts, too.

  • I was talking on the phone to my mom during my lunch break today, and I found out one of my cousins (who currently lives in VA) is in Seattle and has been for a few weeks for work.  She hasn't tried to contact me once to hang out or anything, and I'm feeling burned Super Angry
