You all know what to do!

Everyone is welcome to confess anything they would like to get off their chest, but I thought it would be fun to do holiday confessions!  What do you all think?

Re: Confession Thursday!!!

  • I'll start out with my confessions....

    1) I don't want to go anywhere for the holidays because I feel like poo since I have gained weight and don't fit in my clothes right

    2) I'm supposed to be trying to work on so called weight issue but yet I made a gallon or puerto rican egg nog (coquito) and I've been drinking it like water (NOT GOOD)

    3) I WAY overspent on holiday shopping this year :( and I have no idea on what... even worse!

  • Ohhhh that sounds yummy! 1) I have a small gift for my supervisor but she has pissed me off all week, well really all year, that I really just wanna punch her, not give her something. 2) I feel bad that my dtr only has a few gifts to open, 1 being the iPod touch, not cheap, but we bought her a $3500 used car in July so all my savings went to her car. What makes it worse is that I know her dad probably got her nothing or something small since he didn't even get her anything for her birthday. 3) I confess I'm not really into Christmas this year. Idk why, but I'm excited for my Christmas morning breakfast at my house which includes Bloody Mary's!!

  • My turn, my turn!!!

    1) I HATE how I look right now weight wise! I am paranoid that I'm not going to lose the 30+ lbs that I've put on. FI knows how much its upsetting me.

    2) I had a breakdown with FI last night about everything... I don't know how much longer I can handle working where I do...

    3) I already know what I'm getting from FI for Christmas, but haven't told him (and won't tell him) that I've figured it out...
  • Lol u guys are funny. I totally spent way more than necessary on Xmas presents too but it's cool. It's always worth it when ur friends/fam open it and their faces light up :) I confess I'm a little over wedding planning. I've been trying to knock out everything possible so I can be done with it and just see the damage for the bill lol

  • I haven't been into Christmas at all this year. Most of the presents I am giving to people are the same thing. Granted I made them, but still I'm kinda embarrassed because of it.

    I just gave my FI quite a bit of money to pay off some of his bills and I didn't really get him anything for Christmas. We had agreed that we wouldn't. Then last night he gave me Christmas presents and they cost a lot more than I was comfortable with him spending on me. I'm kind of upset that he would tell me not to get him anything and say that he is focusing on paying stuff off then he goes and buys me a bunch of stuff.

  • I confess that I'm slightly pissed that we didn't get holiday gifts from our company... last year they gave everyone iPads and this year we got a Christmas card sent to our home address. They made even more money than last year so not sure why they can't reward us.

  • 1. I am definitely stressed and upset and every bad emotion in the dictionary because of my weight gain and self esteem issues. I actually started going to a therapist to deal with my issues. The only person that knows is FI. And y'all. Don't know how I'll keep it a secret from my three roommates for much longer.

    2. FI is a Marine. Granted, he's a reservist, so it's not like he's stationed somewhere half way around the world, but the corps can still just call him up one day and tell him he leaves tomorrow for where ever. It's frustrating. And I knew when we began dating that he was going into the Marine Corps, like he was already signed up to leave for boot camp, but I fell in love with him before we even began dating. You might say I chose this life. But in my eyes, you don't choose who you fall in love with. I would never tell him this, but I really wish he wasn't in the military. I am incredibly proud of him, SO proud, and I tell him frequently, but sometime it is just so hard and frustrating. I'd never choose to be with anyone but him, even if I'd have known ahead of time what our life together would be like. I'd go through anything for him, it's just the military gives my life one more unnecessary burden...

    All done.

  • I confess that no matter how much I try I really don't like Christmas.  We have the family all over for the day.  It ends up being about 20 people usually and I am always so tense waiting for all the drama to start.  There is always some bull somewhere.
    My FI would love to go away for Christmas but I always say no.  Even though I don't like Christmas at home I think I would feel too guilty not to be there.  Pretty screwed up logic!!
    I can identify with needing to lose weight and clothes not fitting.  Do you think it is stress that is making us gain?

    My FI does the thing with the gifts as well and it drives me crazy.  If we agree no gifts, that means no gifts.  Not even ones to me from the dogs!  Would you believe a couple years ago my dogs bought me a flat screen TV?  Men!!

  • I completely understand the military frustration, I was in the service myself for 6 years. It has a way of making life a little more stressful....
  • 1- I confess that I am also feeling very insecure about my weight. I lost some weight a few months ago and gained it all back. I don't feel motivated to work out or eat right. FI is no help, he eats junk food and doesn't exercise. 

    2 - My FI's friends still piss me off. They don't seem interested at all at our engagement, wedding or anything related to us. FI doesn't have any friends here in Indy, so I feel bad that none of them really care about his life. He wrote his "best" friend about our wedding and he never answered.

  • I confess that my clothes aren't fitting right either!!  FI said after the holiday's we are going back to our strict diet again.  He keeps saying that he wants to get back down to his birth weight for the wedding but then if I joke and say I want to be 100lbs, he calls me Mary-Kate Olsen.

    I also confess that I don't have as much Christmas spirit as usual.  I think its partly because I feel like I am living down south somewhere since its been in the 50's and hasn't snowed since the freak storm in October.  Also yesterday was our "holiday party" at the office.  It consisted of people bringing stuff in and putting it on the table and then walking back out.  Every other year we were allowed to play games all afternoon but a few people have to ruin it for everyone.

    I confess that I hope Linsay's PMS doesn't go away by Sunday and she finally tells FI's family off. :D

    I also confess that I plan on eating sugar on Christmas!

    I confess that I second this
  • HUGE internet hugs to you both!  
  • Haha I confess that I almost punched my supervisor in the face today and almost got fired which is why I haven't been on today. I was trying to help a "new" girl, been here since May, and she told my supervisor I was mean. This chick over-reacts to everything and everyone and it's been known since day one of her employment. She went to my supervisor and told her that, then I got hauled in. I'm sorry, I won't help the dumbass anymore, and you can go suck on coal for Christmas!!!!!!

  • I confess that I want Kimmy to get PMS so she can tell her FMIL off and her aunt/aunt's boyfriend too.

    I also confess that I don't think that I could work with Jenn...she scares me. lol  But then again, she makes me giggle.  I guess as long as she doesn't punch me in the face we'd be ok...

  • I confess that I plan on getting drunk and telling my FMI off after the wedding.  Then I can just blame it on the al-al-al-alcohol!

    I confess that I wish I worked with Jenn.  Then we could go around punching stupid ppl in the face, together!
  • This is the best Confession Thursday EVER!!

  • I wish Jenn worked with me and would punch my supervisor in the face... 
  • Kimmy since you are on the diet, you could eat twinkies and use the Twinkie defense.  It's been proven to work...somewhat.

  • I confess I want to know who Lindsey wants to go off on here and I hope she PM me to tell me who it is.
  • I confess that I am not looking forward to an awkward Christmas. After my Grandmother passed away about 6 months ago my mom's two sisters are fighting (long story). She is hosting Christmas this year and has invited the entire family. They are both planning on being there and it is just going to be so uncomfortable. My mom hates it because her and her 3 sisters were always so close. I feel bad that she has to be in the middle...especially at a time when she lost her mother and needs her sisters.

    I am really liking the bloody mary plan ......
