Confession Day!

courtneybrooke921

I confess....1. I'm struggeling at work. I have made more mistakes this week then I have in the past 5 years. I don't know why, or what it is, but it's stressful & upsetting and I feel like an idiot.2. Today is FI's birthday & I am annoyed at him for something stupid. I'm trying to act like it's not bothering me because it's his day, but uhhhhh. MEN! :P3. FMIL & FI have been fighting for... well, basically their entire lives. Regardless, it's been really bad the past 6 months or so. They "made up" yesterday and I'm happy but frustrated... it's just a cycle that she will continue to make him feel guilty. It's sad, really. He's 27 and she still hasn't let go (AT ALL). 4. My pants felt tight for the first time in my life this week. What is wrong with me. WHY can't I buckle down and eat better & work out. I have my bridal shower in less then 3 months, E-pics in 5 months and first fitting in 6-7 months. AHHHHHH!!! 5. I want to go to Europe. 6. I need a vacation. BAD.7. I think I'm PMSing.what do you confess?? no judgement here!!p.s.I'm sure I'll add more later

1.  I am going way over my budget with invitations, but atleast I'm under budget for everything else, right?  2.  I feel overwhelm with little details that I hadn't thought about. 3.  I am really sad that my FI's family is making a bigger deal about our wedding than my own family, and I'm the only girl, and the first getting married! =( Lastly, I have been home sick with strep throat and a high fever that won't go down, and no one wants to be around me.  Its just me and my laptop.

I confess... - That I find it unfair that I've been with a company for four years and I still don't have consistent weekends off. - Last night FI and I got into a HUGE fight b/c he doesn't talk. He keeps everything bottled inside, and I almost packed my stuff to spend the night at my moms to prove a point. - I'm so exhausted I could sleep all day. - I'm so overwhelmed with wedding stuff, I have no idea where to start first...

I confess that... I wish I can take a week off to just finish all the things I have to do for the wedding.I am afraid that not everyone might fit in my room as my list has grown by almost 30!I am excited yet nervous that I'm 3 months away!I'm addicted to the knot!!!

anovaxo

-Courtney I think it might be due to the wedding planning lol I catch my self slacking at work all the time due to the wedding & I think my bosses know LOL

courtneybrooke921

hahahaha... no joke!! the knot is effecting me in every way possible!!! lolol

EliNick

I confess... 1.  That I am running on about 6 hours of good sleep for the past two days because of being in my final semester...everyone annoys me at this point 2.  FI is aggravating the H.E. Double Hockey Sticks out of me because he has not yet finished his list and I wanted to send out the invites this week...and he had the nerve to say he wanted to leave space for an extra 25 people just in case3.  I am so over budget it is not even funny, but FI doesn't know it...yet

Ooh, Court. Don't start me on the tight pants! I confess: - I should be working right now. - If one more person from my church recommends their second cousin twice removed from Hialeah to do my freaking floral arrengements I will PITCH A SPAZ. - I would like to get Smashing Cards for my invitations, regardless of the name :P me no likey. - I sometimes want to smack my fiance's family silly. But most of the time I love them. Seriously. - If I could get a t-shirt that read: "IT'S MY WEDDING AND I'LL WHINE IF I WANT TO" ... I so would.

anovaxo

I want a shirt like that too!!! LOL

courtneybrooke921

hahahaha.. I think we need to create shirts. I love the other one someone said for a baby....."My mama is a knottie!"

ARWsquared

I confess... 1. That I'm having jaw surgery in exactly 3 weeks and I'm terrified! That only gives me 14 weeks to recover and put the weight back on before the wedding... Yikes!2. I'm turning 30 next week and it's not bothering me one bit!3. I played hooky yesterday to go to Miami and meet with a bunch of vendors!! Oh the guilt!!

TtotheG

If I could get a t-shirt that read: "IT'S MY WEDDING AND I'LL WHINE IF I WANT TO" ... I so would. Hi, my name is Tess and I totally used this line yesterday at work. Thank you! Lol - I confess that I think my FI's dad hates me? lol

1) I need to talk to our catering director at my venue BADLY but she is out until thursday and I am on pins and needles until then. Hiss. 2) I am re-thinking my linens - I loved the mocha/champagne pin tuck in EliNick's bio but changing that would mean I need to change a lot of things and I am not sure I am ready to do that yet. I have serious anxiety about how my selections will look together. 3) I'm on day 3 of my diet and I'm hungry, cranky and hostile. 4) Amy is having her baby today and I am so excited for her!!! 5) I had the epitome of wedding nightmares last night - my florist forgot like all my flowers, I had the wrong CP's, no arch, the wrong bouquet with hideous colors and I freaked out on him. Then I saw my grandfather (FYI he passed 3 years ago) eating the cake with his hands before it was cut and I spazzed on him (instead of wondering why my dead grandpa was there, I was more concerned about the cake.) Sheesh!

Courtney - Your Confessions sound so much like mine! (I'm major PMS and I'm in serious need of a REAL vacation) You are NOT an idiot. You're probably just distracted at work b/c of the exciting things going on in your personal life. Don't beat yourself up. Happy Bday to your FI. Let whatever it is go, at least for today. You'll feel better once you do! That really stinks about FMIL. That must be how my FI feels about his FFIL! Cinthia - If you are under budget on EVERYTHING ELSE then you are absolutely entitled to at least one splurge! At least I think so! Oh the details of planning are what scares me the most. That's where I think I'm going to lose my shiz. I'm so sorry you are under the weather. Lots of rest and fluids, ok? Tess - Normally I'd say march into your bosses office and tell him you've earned those weekends off, but in this economy, I don't recommend that. In time you'll get that long over due time that you deserve! As for being overwhelmed, I know you are onto photography. I LOVE looking at photography so feel free to email me ones you are considering and I'll give ya my 2 cents (for what it's worth!)Anovaxo - We are ALL addicted to the knot. That's not a REAL confession lol... I hear you on being overwhelmed. As for fitting into your room... do you think that it will even out when you get the declines? I hope so for your sake!Elnick- Seems like everyone is pissy at their fiances... lol. I guess if you are going over budget then he can't say anything really since he added all those extra people huh? Lol... breathe.... Jennius - I should be working too. I came intot he office and went STRAIGHT For Wed Confessions lol. Great tshirt. You could def get one on Zazzle or Custom websites like that!AW- Jaw Surgery. Eek. Yay for turning 30 and embracing it! That's how it should be! Happy Early bday! back with mine in a few!

Jaime - I confess that the baby your FI is holding in the pic on FB is TOO CUTE FOR WORDS. lol Alissa - Isn't it annoying when people are out of the office?? That is like my biggest pet peeve :x

YHFoxtrot

I confess...- That as I was walking up the stairs to my office this morning my thought was "oh it's wednesday" better hurry up to the knot for confessions. And I barely checked my work email! - That last night I looked at my ticker and realized I have LESS THAN 6 Months to lose 15-20lbs and at the rate I've been going, it's not going to happen since I've been stuck at the same weight for over a month-That as a result of this, FI and I are joining the gym TODAY!-That I have a bunch of family coming into town this weekend, and although I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, I'm embarassed by my weight. I also have NOTHING to wear and no time to go shopping.-That I'm so addicted to the knot that yesterday I was freaking out b/c I had to do some actual work for a change. Something is wrong w/ my head and I think I need to have it checked. Twice.-That I'm soooooo excited to get the news that Jordyn has arrived.Ok that's all for now!

Vicki2914

when I see Jaime respond to each confession I crack up! I am getting a haircut today and I am scared that I may let him do what he wants = chop my hair. And I dont want to chop it off but its so hot and I have gotten so bad about keeping up with it. Part of me wants a change and the other part of me thinks I will hate it and feel ugly if I cut my hair shorter / new style. I have found a few ppl in my life who are not happy for me when good things happen and it makes me REALLY sad. I am such a cheerleader for my friends and always so excitied when good stuff comes their way. This is not all my friends but I have one or two in mind .... That I cannot wait to come home next week and go to the G2G!!!!!!

YHFoxtrot

Aww Alissa, I am on Pins and Needles FOR You! I didn't know you were dieting! We'll do it together! I'm for serious now! lol.... Vicki why is it funny that I respond to everyone?I bet your hair will look adorable short! Can't wait to see you at the GTG!

YHFoxtrot

oh and PS Vicki... I have a few people in my life who don't seem to be happy for me... sadly, those people are my FAMILY!. Yeah. Nice.

Vicki2914

well the haters in my fam dont bother me for some reason. thats what some cousins are for, right?? and I dont know why I get a kick out of it just do. I am gonna laugh at you and you cant stop me! lol

YHFoxtrot

Tess that baby in those pictures is my best friends new lil girl. She's 3 months and she's amazingly adorable. Her name is Ani. She's soooo cute. I took over 300 photos t his weekend but the upload to snapfish last night failed! I'm sooo annoyed since I left it uploading overnight! Grrr...

courtneybrooke921

Can we re-start the knottie weight loss??? We don't have to put the #'s, just sort of help me with my diet!!! pleaseeeee!!!! Alissa, good job!! day 3!!! keep going!!! Jaime - have fun this weekend with the fam!!!!! In every picture on facebook you look gorgeous - don't forget we're our own worst critics!!

YHFoxtrot

If you laugh at me then I will laugh at your for your new haircut no matter WHAT it looks like. Deal? Deal. LOL. You know I love ya!

Nicole3425

I confess that…   I have been MIA lately b/c I am stressed about EVERYTHING I want to have a place to call my own (with FI) to move into right after we get married, but I am worried about $$$$. If my family would not have offered to help me with parts of my wedding I would not be able to have the wedding I want. My biological father is yet to offer his help for my wedding (he is financially able) or any positive advice and I am OVER it. I really want to walk down the aisle with my stepfather, BUT do not want to cause unnecessary drama! The more I think about my step-mom and her negativity, the less I want her to know about my relationship/wedding. It bothers me VERY VERY much that the people you hope will be at your side while planning your future are the ones that turn around and talk **** about you. That my mom and I have both officially become WEDDING obsessed!! That my FI’s family has been SUPER involved in the wedding planning and it makes me sad that he is not close to them.   That Friday is my last day at the job I have had for 6 years and my boss is driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!! It’s like he is upset that I am leaving and therefore nitpicking at every single thing! I start my first teaching job on August 10th and I am thrilled BUT also nervous that I won’t be as good a teacher as I want to be.   Sorry for being negative Nancy, but it has definitely been one of those weeks!!!!

YHFoxtrot

Thank you Courtney. You are good for my Ego. But let it be known that I'm not dumb enough to post fat pictures. I only post the ones where I look decent. LOL.Let's start the weightloss challanges again... maybe we can do a Friday Weigh in instead of Monday though since the weekends are the hardest for me???Where's Jess? I know she's been hardcore dieting and would likely want to participate!!!

Vicki2914

i'm just going to go with the bald look.....

avee10

1.  I am having a mini panic attack over turning 30 tomorrow.  2.  I am sick of my mom telling me "you HAVE to invite so and so"  FYI its MY wedding and I dont HAVE TO invite anyone!  argghhhhhhhhhhh 3.  I am getting suckered into having a flower girl and ring bearer even though from the very beginning I said I didnt want kids at my wedding. 4.  I hate the song FI wants to use for our first dance.

TtotheG

Oh fun to weigh loss challenges!! Girlies, it's not that bad. I PROMISE I've been really just watching what I'm eating and cutting it in half. So, if we got for ice cream... I get a kids size instead of an adult size. It works!! Too bad we all dont live closer It's easier to have a workout buddy.

jennej24

I confess.....1. I am nervous about dress shopping this weekend.2. I really want to learn Spanish so I can understand my FMIL, but I haven't really made much effort and don't know where to start.

YHFoxtrot

Nicole you sound waaaay stressed out. Maybe you need some R&R or a massage or something to sort of help you relax? I'm sorry you have so much on your plate but I think it's really exciting that you are going to start your new teaching job. I'm sure you'll be great! Avee - you need to talk to April about turning 30. Maybe she'll have some words to make it seem better!?!? lol. NOW if you really hate the song FI wants you to dance to... then that's not the song you should dance to. It should be something you both want to use. Curious... what song is it? Vicki - I hear bald is the new black.

Court - oooh, vacation... and Europe especially!Tess - I confess I always wanted to work for your employer. I'll cover you on weekends!!Victoria - you would look so pretty with shorter hair! Jaime - you are so beautiful! Where would you even lose 15 pounds from??Alissa - I still 2nd guess myself and I'm DONE. It never ends, haha.My turn!It's so hot out I don't want to move, I just want to lay around and eat ice cream. And that's what I've been doing! So not good.My brother and DH's birthdays are within 4 days of each other and I'm going to go broke trying to spoil them both! We have so much going on this summer I don't know when I'm going back to Florida... and it's really upsetting me. I'm still hoping for last minute flight deals so I can go to the GTG next week.
