Confessions

BellyB11

I haven't seen confessions up in a while so heres mine.

This week has kind of completely sucked and Saturday cannot come fast enough, but as soon as it gets here i'm going to find my dress! And I can't wait.(:

What's yours?

I need to buy boots, and I hate driving in snow.

Confession - When people ask me if I am excited to get married I tell them "No", mainly because I am so far behind in my planning, getting married just seems pretty scary... I mean I only get to do it once and it is a lot of pressure to have the "perfect" wedding. Irrational I know.

Also, I really would LOVE to crack this bottle of wine open right now...12 is a tad bit early for that.

Mine is that when new posters come in and are very adament about certain threads, like confessions, or asking personal questions, it makes me very wary of them.  There have been crazies on here and other boards in the past who will collect information on you and use it for bad things, so it definitely makes me think about posters when it happens.

I understand your "awareness" but just saying, I am not some crazy. I just think this stuff is fun.

Confession: I still don't fully feel like I am ACTUALLY getting married. Even though I am a month away! Nuts...

CAB- I felt the same way.  Even the week before. 

I bought the Diet Serria Mist with hint of cranberry and now that is all I want to drink.  It is only in stores this time a year so I am going to buy up all I can find.  Yes, for New Years I will be a horder of Diet Serria Mist with hint of cranberry!

CAB, I'm right there with you!  Someone was throwing around the word "bride" the other day, and then said, "Oh, but you're a bride, so you must know."  And I was all like, "Me?  Bride?  No, I just happen to be getting married!  I'm not a... oh wait."

Wait until they start calling your Mrs. XYZ (if you are changing your name).  I swear I just stand there looking off into space.  There have been a couple of times that people have had to touch my arm and I say "Oh yeah that's me."  HA

I've gotten used to it already, actually.  We live in North Cuba - people assume we're married since we're living together even if we tell them over and over (and over and over again) that we're not.  So I'm already Mrs. FI to a vast majority of the people I interact with!  Haha!

HA nice!! I totally confused all of my international students when I got married.  HAA it was a little fun I might add.  They have no idea what to call me at first.  I just say call my by my first name.

Ditto.. It makes me feel threatened and territorial.

Also, I confess that I've been putting off going to the doctor for some pain.  Whenever I run, I feel great, but afterwards, when I start to walk again my hip really hurts.  It feels like bone grinding against bone, which I know it's not.  I've had a stress fracture my right hip and bursitis in both hips previously, and I know that as soon as I go they'll tell me Ice, Heat and rest and then I won't be able to run anymore and I don't wanna!

And I confess that I want to send Christmas cards to all my favorite Knotties.

Sami-

I'm having hip pain too!!!!! It's only after I run. It's a sharp pain that feels deep and under my bone.

SamiJoeB

Yeah!! Mine is like a nervey/bone thing.. if that makes any sense.. I've been icing it and using my heating pad before I go to bed.. I just don't want to go to the doctor because I don't want to argue about the risk/benefits of cortisone shots.

calindi

Sounds like (in my uneducated opinion, but having had the same problem) an IT band issue.  I thought IT band only hurt knees, but my physical therapist had me stretching it for my hip pain that sounds similar to yours and it worked.  It was also triggered by running.

Buy a firm foam roller and roll out the muscles on the outside of your leg and along your hip.  The foam roller is honestly the best thing I've ever bought for myself.  It hurts so good!

Here's a video how-to:

And here's where I bought my roller:

Thanks C!! I guess I should have emailed you about this as well! haha.. You're such a wealth of knowledge!

ggirl2001

I have hip pain pretty much constantly. The ortho surgeon I went to said it was prob the IT band issue, since I was so active in dancing at the time. Except now I am not active, and I have issues. Basically  my hip pops out whenever I walk and makes horrible cracking noises. It's good times. 

Irishcurls

Good thing I read the whole thread before busting in here all guns a'blazing. Ditto Cal, foam rollers will be your best friend and worst enemy. All runners should use them!!!

Confession: I feel like all I do is work and I hate it. I mean the money is nice but I don't even feel like I get to be a newlywed

KendallR10

Oh another confession: Having to change my name is really starting to irritate me

firsttimersluck

Kendall, you've been a "newlywed" for a week. When H and I got married he immediately left me for three weeks.
Get over it. That feeling isn't common with us military couples. Comes with the territory.

LetsHikeToday

I never felt like a newlywed either. But H and I lived together before we got married so nothing really changed. I'm fine with that. To me it means we were comfortable and already had that bond.

I really wish it was more appropriate for women to propose to men sometimes.

I have the same problem now...I'll be out for a walk and my leg feels like it's just jamming, followed by some sharp pain and then I basically have to pop it back into place. Not fun. :/

Then don't change it.  It's *thankfully* not a law.  You're choosing to change your name so don't get frustrated with the system.

Same.

And I'll be honest, think the whole newlywed thing is made up for movies.

My confession this week is that I am extremely irritated with FI about wedding stuff. He tells me he doesn't care about xyz and doesn't have an opinion about it. I don't mind at all, so I do research, spend hours putting something together. When I show him or give him the final info, he wants to give 36653759593726 changes to it. I don't mind opinions, that's why I ask for them. But when I spend alot of time working on something because you didn't want to, then you just rip it to shreds, I'm human, I'm going to be pissed and have my feelings hurt. Blah! I hope this phase passes quickly.

Rethany

I confess that this is the third night in a row that I have spread out all of my homework and things on my desk...and done absolutely none of it.

Just looking at it overwhelms me.  Then I give up.  It's due Sunday so I should really start crackin' down on it.

FI has done the same thing to me a few times.  So I just don't tell him anything anymore (he is really ok with it).  He'll find out at the wedding.  At that point he can't really change anything.

I have to say the same thing as Sami!  Do not try to open this with me.  I understand that yes I know what I married. However, as a newlywed, my H deployed.  Yes I knew it was coming, I knew he was going to be leaving.  We made choices based on that.  However, Kendall, do not open that can of worms up as we are spending our newlywed year apart.  I have tried to be nice and let you say your peace about your wedding but DO NOT compare your working and such with what some of other ladies and I are going through etc. deployment or duty station in another country.  Sorry I am normally not this b!tchy but H has had a very bad day and I cannot make it better and you comparing a Target job (however good it is) to what I am going through is just nonsense.
