Hump Day Confessions?
I finally broke down and bought hand weights. The shameful part is that I had been using canned mandarin oranges for home workouts for the last few months.

Re: Hump Day Confessions?
Me too! The canned goods worked just fine, but I found hand weights super cheap at Marshall's a few weeks ago lol.
The kids at the bus stop in the morning drive me nuts. They stand in the middle of the roads that are super narrow as it is. I want to blow the horn and give them the finger, but then I remember that they're just kids and that'd be mean.
I have 2.
1. I wish people wouldn't attempt to discuss politics on FB. I find most people to be very uninformed, and just like to jump on the bandwagon (from either party). If you can't be bothered to do your own research and form your own opinion, you shouldn't get to voice it.
2. If I could see my SIL right now, I would probably attack her like a wild bobcat. Not only could she not be bothered to come find out what the sex of my baby was, instead of saying congratulations when she did find out, she said she was disappointed because she wanted a girl. Fu&ck you. If you want a girl, feel free to go have one.
No shame in that HD, at least you were being resourceful and healthy at the same time!
My confession - I used to chuckle to myself whenever someone said they were doing Zumba for their workout. I took it once years ago and hardly broke a sweat. I have taken it a bunch of times recently and it is a great workout if you have the right instructor. I now feel bad for having those thoughts years ago.
My grandmother might be released from the rehab next week. (86, broke hip on Xmas, surgery, near death, recovery.)
My mom mentioned that she'll need help from us because she and my aunt can't be doing everything. My mom lives an hour away, my aunt has an inlaw apartment where my gmother lives.
So, 2 confessions - 1: I am upset that I KNOW it will just be me and my sisters helping out, while my uncle's kids most likely won't and 2: I don't want to do it. But not in a bad way. In a scared I don't know WHAT to do kinda way.
Sometimes I assume people are with their spouses/girlfriends/boyfriends only because they are really good in bed if their partners are really unattractive and don't appear to have an abundance of money. I can see how money might trump phyiscal looks , but to have no money, a fugly face, and a boring personality.... well I wonder what exactly it is the pull that makes that person so attractive.
(before anyone gets all paranoid, that is not specific to anyone on this board. I am kind of thinking about a cousin of mine who has a nice looking girlfriend and I wonder how that happened)
Ugh, every family seems to have this same problem and it is not fair to you or to your Grandma. Just know that you are doing the right thing and she will really appreciate your help.
I am having mixed feelings about this weekend. On one hand, I am glad to be getting away, and actually being able to ski this season. On the other, spending the weekend with a bunch of chicks I either don't know at all, or don't care for much and two nights away from my broken husband is kind of making me wary of this weekend. I know it will be fun, and I like a couple of the people going...I am just stressed about it.
Also, freaked out because I applied for a new, totally different job. And I am not telling anyone about doing it (other than my husband) until it moves further in the process. I don't want to jinx it, but it is something I am really excited about.
Erin's underwear post reminded me of a psycho/bored kid thing I did back in middle school! There was this super annoying girl who idolized me for some freaking reason and she drove me crazy.
At one point I just started lying to her about random stuff I did over the weekend or after school, just for fun.
Eventually I ended up being engaged to an underwear model, in a gang, named 'Zap'.
Remembering this actually made me gigglesnort.
I used to feel that way about yoga. I thought, "Ah, that's just stretching. It's not real exercise." I was so wrong!

It was totally the bad instructor that gave me that impression. I am so glad that I gave it another chance!
WOW! I can definitely see how having a bad instructor can make it seem like a joke. In fact, I left a gym last year because their good instructor got pregnant and quit (babies ruin everything), and the new instructor had the most boring music and moves... it was terrible and I felt like I needed to go workout afterward!
The place I go to now has great instructors and music, so we burn 800-1200 calories per 60 minute class.
My confession: I am about to leave said fitness studio and join the Gold's right by my house because it will save me 30 minutes in driving every night and will stop giving me that excuse to skip some days. I've been trying to avoid Gold's because I like to support locally owned businesses, but it's SO close (I can see it from my back yard) and I get a discount through work, so it makes sense. I feel guilty, though, because my friend is a Zumba instructor at the dance studio and I'll miss her classes.
Ok, that wasn't much of a confession.
A better confession is that my new boss is giving me a hard time about taking off for our next trip in April (he just became boss as of Jan 1st, so the lady who hired me and was cool with the trips is gone). I took off the entire work week when we get back because even though we get back home on Thursday, I still took off Friday because I don't see the point in working that day when I'll probably still be jetlagged and want to unpack. He's been a real ass lately toward me and it's getting old... I can tell the trips really irk him for some reason, but TBH if it comes down to it I'd rather go on these trips than work. I don't make enough that not working here would affect us, and these are lifetime experiences that I won't miss. So if he thinks he can stop me going on these trips then he has another think coming.
I confess that it made me extatic to see someone on this planet use this phrase properly. It drives me f-ing nuts when people use "thing" instead of "think".
Also, Ala, I liked your confession. What happened when you told her the truth? Or does she, to this day, think you're married to an underwear model?
She's a moron.
I really can't think of anything to confess. I'm just having a blah and boring day.
I'm with Paul mostly because he's amazing in bed. There are several other things that keep me around but that's number one.
