Boring.

GoldenPenguin

It's been quiet & boring around here lately. Let's have some fun. UnpopOps? Confessions? We get its?

Bueller? Bueller?

Edited - because I didn't get it

Swazzle

Confession: I've seen my SFIL once since our wedding and just found out that he's coming up to take us out to dinner tonight and I really don't want to go. 1) I have dinner in the crockpot that I was really looking forward to and 2) H gets quiet so SFIL talks directly to me through the entire meal and asks questions and makes assumptions and it's just really annoying. Ugh.

Irrational irritation: When @phira says 'partner'. Isn't he your FI now?

Confession: I've been a little MIA lately because of work but sometimes when I do pop in, I just don't bother posting because I have no idea who anyone is anymore. 

buddysmom80

Here's my unpop-op: I still don't like Taylor Swift.

Confession: I haven't heard from two of my friends that I used to hang out with all the time, and it's kind of nice that things are quiet in my life.

Confession: I've been on the Verragio website a lot.

Confession: All my friend talks about is TTC and how "old" she is (she's 33). I get offended because my mom had me at 34 and I know plenty of people who have kids in their late 30's, 40's, etc.

Confession: Same friend who is TTC crazy, her H got laid off and instead of looking for work he posts pictures of him fishing and leaves comments on pictures to Cosplay chicks (idk what that is) and somehow end up on my newsfeed on FB. I mean you can look for jobs so much, but he hasn't even made a dent, she's the one doing the job searching.

Confession: I sound really judgy today.

GoldenPenguin

Confession: Like @swazzle, I feel like I don't know who anyone is anymore. I feel like a stranger in my comfortable place. 

Irrational Irritation: @katej16, you're doing it wrong. Pick one of the things - a confession, an unpopular opinion, an irrational irritation, etc. and post it. Not randoms and questions. 

Confession: I really really really want to bring up the timeline convo with BF again, because I feel like I didn't get a concrete answer out of him before, but I know I can't because it's too soon, and I don't want to be pushy. Eff.

Confession: When my boss wasn't in the office earlier today(he didn't get in until 10), I spent that time playing games on the computer and shredding unneeded papers rather than try to do something productive.

Irritation: Litter... I went to the store yesterday on my way back to the office from the bank and there was litter every where! It's so annoying! Can't you people walk the ten feet to the two barrels outside the store to throw your shit away.

I was totally wondering what kind of neighborhood you live in that there's kitty litter all over the place until I got to the last sentence. 

buddysmom80

@brisox81 ughhhh I totally did it wrong, but I had a lot of confessions that I've held back......

Yes, there are a lot of new posters on here.

That's all I have right now I drank way too much coffee.

KateJ16

@brisox81 - now I get it.  Once I saw other postings I realized as such.

Irritation: I am so annoyed with the stupid busses in the city.  Just because it's in the 50s and 60s, that means all the bus drivers crank the heat (ignoring the fact that there are tons of bodies warming the bus) and then they are unbearable to be in for the duration of a trip without feeling like you're going to pass out.

Confession: I sometimes get a sick pleasure out of reading the "Wedding Party" and "Moms and Maids" boards because I don't have to deal with those issues (knock on wood).

I just posted something fun to discuss in another thread...

Damn fucking straight.

phira

@swazzle Yeah, he is. I think it sounds weird, though. I like calling him my partner. Plus, I figure that by the time I get comfortable calling him my fiance, he'll be my husband and I'll have to start over.

Confession: I honestly enjoy confusing people when I refer to him as my partner, especially when people don't that he's a dude.

Confess: That's reaally the reason you call him your partner ;p

labro

Confession: BF asked me last night what's something fun I'd like to do after we get our house painted and are feeling "rich" again. We talked about stuff we'd like to build, custom book shelves, china buffet, etc. for awhile. Later that I night I said something I'd really like to do when we're feeling rich is get engaged because that's how I really feel (even though building stuff is fun too). 95% of the time I'm patient and I enjoy our relationship as it is now. But then there's that 5% devil that's sometimes shouting inside and yelling at him to hurry up and ask so we can finally call each other husband and wife. She always shows up the most when I'm on my period and being irrationally emotional.

Irrational Irritation: I don't have anyone on the board to call out today. What's really irritating me are people not responding to emails. I've been emailing the girls attending the bachelorette to give them updates, plans, etc. and maybe half respond when I ask their opinion or have a question or suggestion. I know nobody is obligated to, but I still want opinions. I don't want to be the one who makes plans for something and then later everyone is all unhappy because I "made" them do something. How am I supposed to know you don't want to do something unless I get your input?

Unpop opinion: I don't have one today. I think everyone is pissed at the Republican Party at this point...even their own members. At least a majority of them finally got their acts together last night and voted to not let this country go completely down the drain....for now anyway.

Confessions: I know folks say having a shower for a 2nd baby is a BIG NO NO. But, being that it has been 11+ years since I birthed Bean, my sister and bff wanted to throw me one. I didn't turn it down. Actually, I'm pretty grateful. We were all set to not have a shower and just buy a lot of things 2nd hand to keep things more affordable. And we're still doing that, but it will be nice to have a shower and get together with family and friends. I hope this doesn't mar my awesome reputation.

Confession: After bff offered shower, I got to working on a registry. Its kind of fun!

I would not side-eye your shower, it's been 11 years since Bean.

I'm so freaking excited for you!!!!!!

buddysmom80

@livleighton I'm sending you a HUGE hug, I know how it feels, it's frustrating sometimes, hang in there!

[Deleted User]

Confession: I quit my job on Tuesday morning...I just couldn't take it anymore. My boss has been so horrible for too long and I don't think anyone should come home crying after work. It was getting to the point where my anger with work wasn't going away after I left the office and I don't ever want FI to experience that when I get home. So I'm unemployed but I have a second interview for another position with a medical office next Monday and I really enjoyed meeting their staff in my interview with them yesterday so I hope that progresses as well.

Irrational Irritation: That somehow everyone just forgets how to drive in the rain.

labro

@beanbot2002 Screw anyone who sideeyes you for having a second shower. One of my girlfriends just had a 2nd shower for her baby due in January and I don't blame her one bit. Her only other child is 8...how can you have expected her (or you) to hold on to all of that baby stuff anyway? Have fun registering!

CASK85

Ditto on the not side-eyeing a shower after an 11 year gap. You're good in my book, Bean

@LivLeighton - I remember Mo. If that soothes your irritation at all. You've come a long way - don't beat yourself up!

Confession: I am paralyzed by my overwhelming to do list, and therefore haven't done anything today.

Irrational Irritation. People who fall asleep on the bus. More specifically those who fall asleep and lean on me. This is PUBLIC transportation - have some fucking common courtesy and stay awake and upright for the 20 minute ride. We're all tired, assholes.

Blue & White

@swazzle At least you didn't marry my cousin.  My aunt and uncle's "dinner table conversation" is constant quizzing on how much school you have, what you're doing, what you're making, etc.  I don't care that my cousin is an ADA - he got into law school because you guys are suckups and have connections.  I worked my ass off to get my MS.  STOP JUDGING ME!  (*I feel like it would be so much worse if I weren't related to them.  they actually like me!*)

@lmhollister I have irrational expectations of emails too!  I hate hate hate when people don't reply to my emails about instantly.  I also hate when my students reply "thank you" to emails (such a waste of my time to read such a quick email!)  I sound really ungrateful, so I assume that that is an irrational irritation.

Confession: FI has an in person interview on Wednesday.  That determines whether we're moving 1200 miles away 4 months before our wedding.  I'm very excited about the possibility but can't tell anyone here cause I can't jeopardize my or his current jobs (agh!)

Confession: I'm doing my own updo for a wedding I'm in on Saturday and haven't practiced yet.  I normally throw my hair in a pony tail, so this is kinda a big deal!

Irrational Irritation: my education class instructor said she'd email us the midterm after class (at 11 AM)...WE STILL DON'T HAVE IT.  (this is my only day I really have time to take it, so I assume this is a rational irritation?)  Again, it's email.  I'm special.

Unpop Ops: I think students these days still have all the potential that we did (I've been hearing a lot of "kids these days..." stories lately...)

Unpop Ops: I don't like The Big Bang Theory.  Or HIMYM.  I'm so bad at watching comedy, except for the Simpsons

Irrational Emotional State: I saw a commercial for the Broncos vs. Colts game earlier...and it had voiceover of Peyton's speech when he left and I almost teared up.  This is going to be an emotional game...

buddysmom80

@cschiano I used to take the train to work and there was a guy who would get on the train and would sit down and fall asleep in no time. He snored and he would rest his shoulder on other riders and get pissed when they got up to leave. Um, dude, really????

Confessions:

-I want to eat like ten more Kit-Kats.

-I have spent this afternoon applying to new jobs instead of working on school stuff. I do need a new job because 1) hospice is burning me out, 2) working with my mom is burning me out, and 3) I feel like hospice is kind of ruining me as a nursing student because in some ways it's less intensive than other specialties. But still. I should do that AFTER hell week next week.

-I desperately wish I was single right now. I love BF and I am fighting myself tooth and nail to believe that once school is over our lives will get back to our happy normal, but I am now either always irritated with him or mad at myself for being inattentive and bitchy to him basically all the time. I have no idea whether this just my piss-poor way of handling stress (entirely possible) or if I'm truly ready to pull out of this relationship. The not-knowing scares me and I just feel really, really bad about all of it.

Irrational Irritations:

-Grocery stores are always freezing cold all.the.time. This is almost the sole reason I eat so much fast food - I would love grocery shopping if it wasn't for that.

-When someone is trying to be nurturing and snuggly and rub your back, but they stay in one spot too long and you're just like AAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH GET OFF MEEEEEEE.

-That everybody at works keep getting pregnant and we keep throwing these really elaborate surprise baby showers for them. Literally like three people are pregnant right now. I love my co-workers, I'm gonna love their babies, but holy shit, I'm not made of money! And it's not just the gifts; these always end up being potluck events, so somewhere in there I also have to find time to make a dish to share.

Just woe is me.

Hahahaha! I'm the same way! I can't stand that!

@livleighton, girly I know what and how to you feel exactly.  I can tell you a bunch of people have come across that in their late 20s.  I'm 31 and I still feel like I'm not where I should be.  But then I look at what I have and I tell myself that I have love, I have a home and I have awesome furry pals to keep me going.  You have and will always land on your feet I know it.  Also I remember Mo, and I remember Mo'stories. 

Confession: I LURK every day..... I just have NOTHING to say to the new posters.  I lack any motivation to interact unless its to be snarky or comment on a long time poster. 

Confession: I miss the older posters, and I miss interacting with them. Also crazy jealous of you ladies that live close to each other that you can see each other often. 

Irritation: People on facebook asking for donations using those fundraising websites.  NO I WILL NOT DONATE TO HELP YOU PAY FOR YOUR BOYFRIENDS X-MAS PRESENT!  Friends off!

Blackbird230

Confession: It's been really hard to get to know people here! I've been trying to integrate more, but it's difficult when you mention someone and the conversation dies. I don't want to be a stranger!

Confession: Boss let me leave work early today because my period migraine was destroying me. I actually like her after our meeting yesterday and she's not such a witch anymore!

Irritation: People who slow down miles before their exit, especially when it's a left exit. Merge onto your exit and then slow down!!!

CLoGreenEyes

Confession: I'm sad that we newbs are apparently no fun to interact with. I wish I could be more exciting and stir the pot a little bit, but I'm not cool like that, lol.

Unpop Ops: 

- I hate Napoleon Dynamite. I think it is a terrible movie and not funny at all. 

- I watched a few episodes of Dexter and thought it was terribly written and horribly acted. I feel like this is because Breaking Bad was far superior in every way. 

- I hate myself a little bit for it, but I thought Miley Cyrus was really really good on SNL a couple weeks ago. I also love "Wrecking Ball." 

Irrational Irritation: When people defriend you on Facebook. I just went to look at someone's page because I realized I hadn't seen anything from them in a while, and they apparently defriended me. I'm annoyed.  

buddysmom80

Confession: everytime I look at @kait's sig pic it reminds me how much I hate feet. I like the picture of you two, but the feet bother me.

suzie211

Confession- I can't handle the lack of control I have in TTC. I think I may be borderline obsessive with tracking everything and don't know how to back away. H is a worrier and already is freaking out that we won't get KU soon. We both need to chill and apparently aren't good at it.

Irrational irritation- @bubbles053009 haven't you GBCK like 3 times? I don't understand. You didn't like anything we had to say, got mad at us, and keep coming back. Why? I get that the women here are pretty awesome, but I feel it's really rude of you to disregard almost any suggestion we've given you and then pretend that it's no big deal. IRL I would never continue a relationship with a person that did that. Why is it magically ok to on the internet?

Unpop/Op- I usually love handing candy out to the neighborhood kiddos. This year I really don't want to deal with the guessing of how much is enough candy to give out. I always guess wrong and end up with piles that I eat later. My waistline does not need leftover candy.
