Hump Day Wednesday Confessions/Randoms
Say whatever you want, man.
I was on a date last night, and ran into an old coworker who recently moved across the country. He thought I was with LDG at first... I don't think he knew we had broken up. Months ago. A little awkward.
This election season with the repub debates, scandals from both sides and other hoopla are so tiring. I'm saying no until after the primaries.

Re: Hump Day Wednesday Confessions/Randoms
I think I might have some amount of depression and/or anxiety. Usually it's very low-level and not debilitating but I think it's there. I get really hopeless about stuff (see longazz work rant posted a few minutes ago) and it spirals me down into a really unfortunate place.
There are sex noises coming from somewhere in my office.
I had an inappropriate dream about an ex the other night. It was really weird.
Random whining:
A non-profit that I've been involved with since shortly after its founding in 2007, and that I kind of divested myself from last year when I was pregnant, is now in the final stages of shutting down and it feels like craap.
Whenever I mention it to people IRL, they're like "So? Guess it was a bad business model." Well yeah, it was, but that's not the point. We helped people. On our worst days, we helped people. And now it's over and the control I had over making my tiny corner of the world a better place is gone.
The administrator kind imploded when she didn't have me to babysit her anymore and as ridiculous as it is, I think that it would still be operating if I'd stuck around. But I was so done.
I think my arguing about dumb shiit on TB has a lot to do with my not wanting to think about shiit IRL.
I changed my phone number so XBF couldn't contact me anymore. I tried to be friends with him since he bought a house near me (he had no idea I'd moved out of my parents' place, so he wasn't creeper-stalking me but it was pretty weird).....
But then I just started back down the slippery slope of "Oh we can just be friends and hang out.... oh he's really changed a lot.... oh maybe there is a future for us..."
Then I realized it was fuucked up so I fessed up to the people I live with and my family and completely blocked him from email, changed my number, blocked him on FB, he doesn't know where I live, and everyone is keeping me accountable to not do that again. I feel like a total shitheel for being so fuucking stupid. Please verbally abuse me.
You deserve a pat on the back. That's pretty awesome.
I am bleeding money. It is oozing out of me and it is completely uncontrollable.
I'm not comfortable with hugging people. Even relatives. I like my personal space. Hugging DS or FI is okay, but that's about it.
Since being engaged I've had to hug way too many people. It's like an automatic reaction for some people and I'm hiding out so I don't have to hug people.
Did you ever share the story of how you guys got engaged? I would love to hear it and I promise I won't hug you!
My confession: Last week I ate a whole Little Cesar's large pepperoni pizza by myself. In one sitting. And I didn't even feel that full after.
It's not super exciting to other people, but here it is and it was perfect for us:
He had put the ring/box in my stocking Christmas morning (it was toward the bottom of my stocking). I pulled out the box and had no idea that it was the ring. I had to look at it a few times to be sure and then I asked him if it was THE ring. He said it was, took it out of the box, put it on my finger and asked me. My DS was confused at first and then finally caught on to what was happening.
The end.
I bought 3 (THREE) bags of hersey's candy cane kisses yesterday on sale at 50% off and stashed them in my work desk. I left it out of the - Look at all the discounted Christmas stuff I got talk with FI last night.
I have a serious problem.
I totally get you on this.
I spent the night with Elvis last weekend.
The date I had last night was not with Elvis.
I'm a hor.
Mort, I feel you on the hugging thing. *feels you from a distance as to not upset your personal space*
Did you hear that, Smock?
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with hugging issues! I tend to pull back a little when people try to hug me and then they look at me like I have 2 heads or something.
Don't touch me maaaaannnn.....
Hear what, my arteries shrieking?
I've never even eaten a Honey Bun! I just want my good friend ESD to have a lifetime supply. Is that so bad?
I confess that yesterday I decided that my new year's resolution was to stop nesting at work. I got a ton done.
...You will notice it's 3:00 and I'm posting. I made it one day. *shame*
It does sound perfect for you guys! lol that your son was confused.
I want to hear about the sleepover with Elvis.
The water around here smells like marijuana (home and at work). I wonder if it really smells like that or if my sniffer is off.
My name is Muddled and I approve this message.
What the what? Start opening some closed doors around there! Wouldn't that be awesome if it was your diick boss who won't pay you what he thinks only the menfolk are worth and you had some nice blackmail on him???
Confession: I'm sick of cooking this week. I'm running out of meal ideas and in no mood to stand at the stove for an hour while Toddler Malibu hangs on my leg wondering why I won't play with her. I'm very, very tempted to hit up the McDonald's on the way home. Another confession: I'm making my third attempt in the last month (never mind the five or so tries before that last year) to quit smoking. Here's hoping.
YOU CAN DO IT!
We have an intern right now, and he is kinda slow and disorganized, but this week, I don't even care. He is my printing and hole punching biitch and it is making my life SO much easier. He is a nice kid, and hopefully his day is going by quickly!
I've been on a shopping spree lately and I need to stop! Or at least clean my room. It's a wonder H hasn't killed me already.
I hope so! I think the fact that it's getting colder here in MN will help. Nothing like a blast of -10 windchill in the face to deter you from walking outside.
