Re: WTF Wednesday
WTF dating life?
I think I'm done with you for right now...we just need a break from each other.
WTF body/nose/head GET better! I do NOT want to get a cold/be sick! I need to get some this weekend which will not happen if I am sick!
WTF self...you need to chill out and stop comparing yourself and your life to everyone's else on FB. Its OKAY that you are not married with kids bc you are still YOUNG! Ugh....
WTF guy I am dating...your communication skills need some improvement. We are going to have a talk this weekend (if i am not sick) about it bc its annoying!
WTF Self -- get your asss into gear and start working out! Just because your wedding dress fits you like a glove now, it doesn't mean you can slack and stay at your current weight. Only 23 weeks until your wedding!!!!!!
I do this all.the.time! I drive myself nuts by doing it and need to stop! The grass isn't always greener. Plus people only post all the good things on FB so try to remember that.

WTF judgey mcjudgerson friends? Yes, I made some mistakes in dating right after I left my marriage, but holy hell... I've learned and moved on. Do you really need to throw it in my face considering that was well over a year ago?
And really, let me know when your d-bag of a bf starts acting like a knight and shining armor instead of a tolerable turd.
As for my other bitterly third-time married friend, feel free to stop judging my decisions anytime.... I had your back when your husband was falling down drunk at a friend's wedding that was full of our business associates. So it would be nice if you could not trash me behind my back to a mutual friend. It's so nice that you think my buying my house was the worst decision I ever made and if I move to be with D, I will "crash and burn" as you put it.... way to have my back!
Thank god I have other friends that support me while raising any concerns in a productive, loving manner.
Wow...I had a hard time reading that! I hate how people "write" like that now. Is "y" really that much easier than typing "why", really?
WTF self - first a month ago, I got all hormonal and emotional and cried in front of D for a very irrational reason. I was super embarrassed - I don't cry in front of people...EVER. Now, last night, we went out to a concert and I get a silent migraine - like, I blacked out, couldn't walk on my own, and threw-up in public migraine - all while he was there holding me up, helping me to the bathroom and helping to clean myself up. I am beyond mortified...I haven't had a migraine in YEARS and it completely snuck up on me. Poor guy is seeing all the things about me that nobody sees. Although, I have to say, it is very pleasant having someone actually care and comfort me, I'm just not used to it.
WTF self--stop freaking out over the guy you like. You're only over analyzing because you have time to do so. People have their own lives. Just because you're not working full time doesn't mean he has time to call and text you while he's away for a trial. I know it's scary that you like someone bUt try to chill out.
WTF skin-get your act together. You're not 15.
I am with you on this one. I think I read into things too much because I over think things too much.
I hear you on this one! How long have you guys been dating? I can tell you, it definitely gets easier as time goes on and you become more serious (if that's the direction you want it to go). But that really doesn't help the freak outs...the hormonal/emotional crying I referred to in my WTF was one of those...it sucks, but, if it turns into something great, its well worth it!
When I notice myself doing this, I tend to start taking a break from FB. I'm actually rarely on there and notice that I'm usually happier because of it.
Is this the guy in your blog you call JD? How are things going with you guys? Sounds like they're going well.
<a href="http://s941.photobucket.com/albums/ad259/laurens1122-bfp/?action=view
Yup, that's him! Things are going well, thanks. He's been busy with work but we've spent some of his down time together between business trips. Taking things slow but so happy I gave him a second chance!
WTF Taxes-Ok I realize I was totally on edge after waiting 3 hours but you just auto debited $300 more than I was expecting. I feel a little nauseous now
WTF Work-I have been working 12 hours and Im still buried and will be working all night tonight.
WTF Self-Im acting crazy insecure in my relationship and I cannot get a grip. UGH
WTF weather? It's really not cool that we are getting every drop of rain we missed out on in December and January and then some, all at once in April. I'm so over it and ready for summer.
WTF self-why can't I seem to remember to give BFF her check since she paid for our Scottsdale trip already!
WTF DS-did you really have to cover yourself in my mascara-including in your hair when I was ready to walk out the door? You almost made me late for meeting my client. If mommy is late, then mommy risks being fired and then I cannot put food on the table or a roof over our heads!
A reason to keep baby wipes handy even after the kid is potty trained. They are great at taking off make up quickly!
Unfriend immediately. A good friend of mine forced me to with my last BF and I'm glad she did, because we broke up six months ago and I still think of him all the time and it would be out of control if I had access to his FB page.
WTF Mom/Family - I am FINE!! I am even OK! I want more than ever to celebrate my bday in fantastic style - and I will in a week or so. I just have a very busy few days here - DD appt, hair appt tomorrow, work on my actual bday but getting off a few hours early to spend time with DD, family coming in to meet Sarah Saturday or Sunday, getting ready for and then a bankruptcy hearing Monday. Plus I am a full time single mom with a full time job that I also happen to be turning into a career right now. Not too busy for you...just busy!!!
WTF Guys - yes I have a kid, don't freakin run. I don't want a dad for her ok, I just want some fun and a date.
There is so much more but it's only a WTF, and you know you need to get the WTF out of your system when you start thinking about it on the drive home..lol
