Re: Spill your vents.

  • I was at a Neiman Marcus for the first time today---and couldn't even afford the stuff on the clearance rack. I found the most amazing dress too---not sure where I would wear it to, but I loved it. I hate being poor.

  • DH and I cleaned our apartment last week so that it was nice and tidy for MIL/SIL's visit. Well now that they are gone, DH is throwing stuff everywhere again. I really want it to stay neat for a while, but he makes that difficult!

  • See, five cats on my car would probably make me happy.

    Hmm, vent.  My foot is a fuucking mess and it's driving me crazy.  I can barely walk and they don't make band-aids big enough.  But somehow I'm still running.

  • My husband has been a huge bitch lately - I am trying to make sure he eats enough food in the day, trying to keep him healthy, and hes all moody because he doesnt feel well. Thats because you never eat and its a shock to your damn system now that you are eating, considering how small your stomach must have been only eating ONCE A DAY. While Im urging him to eat, its not my frigging fault he feels sick. Im not physically stuffing food down his throat until he explodes. Not my fault husband, so stop taking it out on me.

    Whooo that felt good.
  • I don't have anything legitimate to vent about, Im just sick and crabby today. Responding to the gift grabbers has made me extra snarky, so maybe I need to take a break.

    Is it the new diet, or the quiting smoking?  I was a moody bitch for about 4 months last time i quit.

  • I'm so ridiculously tired of FFIL's lack of boundaries, social skills, and manners in general.  Every time he opens his mouth I want to punch him lately.
  • Haha Brie. They're just random cats and my car is new and I washed it yesterday! It made me angry to see paw prints alllll over it.

    Nebb, FI passed out a couple nights ago because of how horribly he's been eating. He had fast food for three days in a row, chugged a Mt. Dew and some candy, and passed out. Now every time he eats junk I tell him it's not good for him that he is going to pass out again, and he gets incredibly defensive. I don't know what to do :(

  • I have a few vents today, but in reality, none of them are worth getting worked up over.

    So I'll just chalk it up to being  moody and bleh.

  • My vents - a particular poster on here is irritating the ever-loving crap out of me today.  I want to call her out, but I don't want to be an uber bitch. 

    I've gotten a bunch of wedding stuff ready, but I feel like there's SO MUCH MORE to go.  And I don't know where to begin to tackle it.

    AND I got referee certified and bought the stupid ugly uniform so that I could make some extra money to have for the wedding/honeymoon, and I didn't get a single match this weekend.  :( 

    And, FI is taking me skiing for my 30th birthday, but nobody wants to come with us.  We'll go solo, but would prefer to have some friends go.  It's a really cheap trip, too.

  • DH is having a chronic problem lately of giving me the answer of, "later" any time I ask him to do something.

    We agreed that for now, while he is working a regular schedule and I hardly work, most of the chores would go to me, except for the garbage. I loathe taking out the trash. He agreed, no problem.

    The other day, I was having some friends over, one of which hadn't seen our new apartment (new = August) and I really wanted it to look nice for her. From the minute I woke up, I was cleaning. I asked him to take out the garbage, which included large boxes from some gifts that we just now have taken out of the box as well as our usual garbage and he said, "later."

    He finally started taking the trash out and I kept finding more and putting it by the door, that way he'd see it and take it out. He comes in and the only thing left were two empty soda 12-pack boxes. Our dumpster is just steps outside of our front door. It's like crossing the street to go to your neighbor that lives directly across from you, only if their front door was literally on the street. No yard. It's close.

    He started to take off his shoes, so I said, "hey, will you go ahead and take those real quick while you still have your jacket and shoes on?"

    "Later."

    What the fuuck? He went and checked his email after that. He didn't help me clean anything, except for taking out the trash, even though he told me he would. I wasn't upset about the not helping part, I was upset that the one thing that he does regularly kept getting pushed back so he could check scores on ESPN or check his FB.

    Lame.

  • Oh dont get me started on his smoking... He decided he didnt like the inhalers so he made me return them, and decided he was just going to limit his smoking. He had 2 one day, then 4 the following day, 6 the next, and 8 the one after that. I finally gave up and Im pretty sure he is smoking his normal amount now.

    He doesnt eat, and when he does its not healthy. For his weight he needs atleast 2000 calories to maintain, and if he only has a coffee in the morning, some cigarettes for lunch, and dinner in the evening... he is no where near meeting that requirement. Ive taken it upon myself to wake up and make him breakfast, and pack him a lunch just in the hopes of getting him to eat enough that he stops losing weight. Hes a tall slim guy and hes had to punch two new holes in his belt in the past year or so. None of his clothes fit him properly either because theyre so big.

    I hate when that happens. Drives me crazy. Hopefully it'll work out.
  • Jess, I hate the word "Later." That's FI's mantra. I want to take it out of his vocabulary. Makes.me.stabby. He always does what I ask, but on his own time schedule.

  • It's because their parents allowed that. Well, for DH anyway. They'd be like, "Clean your room" and he'd be like, "later"

    And they were fine with that.
  • Spill it, squirrly! I have a feeling it might be me since I've been posting a lot lately... Being annoyed by somebody does not a mega-bitch make.
  • My internet has been out for a weeks and I come back to the same slow knot
  • Spill it squirrly!!!

    Jess, exactly. FI's mom really babied him, and I want to scream at her for it. And I when I say, no, now please, he whines that I'm too controlling. ::rolls eyes:: When do they grow up?? :D

  • angned.  Materialistic post about fake diamonds, grammar and spelling all over the place, 8 years in a variety of colleges and she's irritated that people judge her for that.  On top of her announcement a while back about coming back to the knot and telling it like it is -- followed a couple of hours later by her not dealing with the snark well at all.

    Gah.  Sorry if that is poorly written.  It came out like verbal vomit.  I generally want to like people on here.  But she's just rubbing me the wrong way today.  Pick a personality and stick with it!

    Its probably me.
  • I should be mad at  DH because he just told me we were invited to a wine and cheese party tonight that start... ohhh 50 minutes ago.  I would have love to attend because the guy is a wine sommelier from France.

    But he came home with groceries and made dinner (unusual), so I will let this pass.








    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • Man... The whole "later" thing would drive me BSC. FI's awesome about doing chores, which is interesting, given that his mom never made him do any. It's probably just because I get cranky when the house is messy.

    I don't have much to vent about, but this thread is entertaining. I fail at venting.
  • Squirrly, it's funny that you say that, because I had no idea who she was until I read her post about how somebody in a committed relationship is being disrespectful and dishonest to their partner by having friends of the opposite sex. FFS.
  • Whew, SQuirrly, I'm glad it wasn't me, because Ive been especially annoyed/ing today,

    I agree with you on angred.

    I rarely see fi these days due to work pressures.  When we do see each other, he's crabby and stressed.  His eyes are like little, tired slits. 

    I am so fuucking flat-chested it's embarassing, but I am NOT going to stuff my bra on my wedding day.  1.  I don't now, so if I do go with padding it will be horribly obvious. 2.  It's going to be in the middle of JULY, and the last thing I want is extra layers of latex and foam. 

    My son asked me if his dad & stepmom are invited to the wedding.

    Nah, not you.  Fair warning though, you're drifting toward PW status this evening.  :) 

    Man, I'm in an evil mood.  Sorry.

  • I've got another one.  My work cell phone is NOT a liquor and tobacco store.  Seriously.  I can't help it that it's wrong on google.  I don't know where the store is, or what their real phone number is.  STOP CALLING ME.
