As Kiki said, she's usually on in the evenings. She sometimes is able to get on while she's at work, but it doesn't happen often.

I ate like 3 brownies at midnight last night. I broke the news to my cousin about her cheating boyfriend and he's denying it and she believes him. And I was so stressed out. H brough home the brownies after work, so I had them with some milk and felt better.

I also smoked 5 cigarettes last night. And 1 this morning.

I hate myself for it.

Bubbalub · July 2010

I confess that I didn't get that job that I was waiting to hear back from. They waited a month to call me and told me they filled the position that I interviewed for at the end of June. Turns out they were considering me for another position but decided to promote someone from within instead.

I know I should be happy I got a call and I had already figured that I didn't get the job, but i still was sad when I listened to the message.

I hate where I work so much and the stress is really affecting me.

[QUOTE]Oh, another confession. My church is doing a cooking class next month, and the lady organizing it asked me to design a graphic for us to use in our newsletter, website, etc, so I spent a good chunk of time yesterday making this 1950's style graphic. I sent it to the lady and she says, "well, it's too old-fashioned looking." It's cool if she has a vision for it, really. But could she have told me that before I spent time making something that was the complete opposite of what she was looking for? It sort of made me mad.

welcome to my life. everyone at my office thinks they're graphic designers bc they can download free clipart and use Publisher. then they tell me what they want, I do exactly that, then they change their mind. and end up wanting me to use their clipart crap that they're inexplicably proud of creating.

MISSCOURTNEY20 · July 2010

I confess that after my FH was sick on Saturday, it took me more than 24 hours to kiss him again. I kept seeing him barfing in that bag. Ewwwww!!

I also confess that it wasn't until last month that I stopped trying to convince myself that I did the right thing by getting with my FH after I knew my BFF had a crush on him.

I have yet to see DH barf in three and a half years together and I dread the day. I'm a huge barf-phobe.

Also, DITTO. True story: the night DH and I hooked up, my good friend and I had a man-hunting strategy. I knew she liked DH, and I was like, "I'll be your wingman and entertain his friends." He pretty much flat out told her "I don't like you like that" at the beginning of the night and took me home instead. Luckily, she was cool and didn't get all butthurt about it, but it was a dicky friend move and I've apologized to her multiple times since then.

My co-worker babbles CONSTANTLY, giving me a run-down of everything she's doing. I confess that I sit at my desk and mutter "Shut up" and "Close your effing mouth" because she is hard of hearing and I know she can't hear me. She's just so annoying.

How is your BFF now? I mean, a crush is different than if they were dating and you stole him away, or if she seriously was trying to pursue him.

I hate barfing!! I would cry everytime I threw up when I was prego with Jordyn. He was hung over on Saturday and threw up in the garbage bag IN MY CAR!!! It was a good thing I had not eaten yet because I would have surely been next. YUCK!

She has liked him for YEARS and never told him. He had no clue, but told me that he would have never even considered a relationship with her. We had a HUGE falling out about it but she is cool now and is coordinating our wedding.

You're definitely allowed a free pass on this because 1.) it was a crush and they weren't together and 2.) you're now getting married! It was obviously meant to be.

No lie, the third weekend after FI and I were together, he got intense heat stroke and vomited in front of me like 5 times. It was really awful for him but it honestly didn't bother me. Vomiting doesn't gross me out as much as it grosses him out. I have yet to vomit in front of him.

kikibaby · July 2010

One of my BFF's in high school ended up hooking up with the guy I had a crush on at the time. They're married and have a kid now, and I'll admit- I'm still a little bitter.

abbalish · July 2010

I confess that I pretend to be "in the zone" and not to hear people talking at work, but really I am just ignoring them because I don't want to get sucked into an uninteresting conversation.

myother1 · July 2010

Even though it's somewhat selfish, I'm bummed that we got so few wedding gifts. Luckily, we didn't have to use the emergency money in the wedding account, so we were still able to complete our registries, but I was completely shocked when we opened gifts post-honeymoon.

Most of DH's family apparently considered their shower gifts our wedding gifts as well (no cards, nothing). Some of my friends went the same route. Some members of my family just haven't done anything.

People have been asking: "So, you're probably swimming in money!" and all I want to say is: "No, actually we got about $200 at the wedding. Luckily, I worked overtime all year to pay for the damn thing, and we had a little money left over."

vallyhoo · July 2010

Andress - please make a bio. I love the few pics I've seen and that new one is lovely!

cengle · July 2010

I confess that I have a problem saying "no" to people who ask me to do things. I always feel incredibly guilty. So I confess that I've been avoiding going to church very regularly this summer because every single week, H and I get asked to do something or participate in something. We don't have the time, due to work and school, and most of the time it's stuff we don't want to do anyway.
And then I feel guilty for not going to church. I think I have a guilt problem.

btrflykate1230 · July 2010

The wedding I'm going to next month? I've slept with the groom.

It was 4 years ago when I was in college. I slept with him and then a couple of months later started dating someone else. My friend asked if she could start dating him (which was weird, why would I care?) and now they're getting married.

She almost asked me to be a BM. When she told me that I was like, "Oh no, it's totally fine that I'm not one, don't worry!". AWKWARD.

MISSCOURTNEY20 · July 2010

@ Matilda...Thanks Hun! I agree

@ kiki...I still think she is hurting behind this. When she cries @ church, I always think that it is because of this situation. She is single and has yet to find "the one". But last month, on Father's Day, my 15 year old left FH a note on his IPOD and thanked him for being the dad that he never had and for making him laugh. It really confimed that we were meant to be.

It was so absurd, I couldn't NOT say anything to them. And let me tell you, it made me feel kind of good to hear "I'm sorry, ma'am" even though that makes me feel old. Hehe.

I also confess that I have a little bit of wedding envy today... FI's brother is getting married this weekend (the one he's currently not speaking with). We were not invited, but I've been snooping. And their venue looks GORGEOUS and insanely expensive.

The bad thing will be when you ask someone to do something for you and they say no. Then there will be anger. Put your big girl panties on and do what you want to do. It feels sooooo good! Smooches!

Posted by btrflykate1230[/QUOTE]

This just reminded me...H and I were hanging out with some of my guy friends from college this weekend, who I hadn't seen since I graduated (7 years ago - eek!). The next morning, H asked me, "Did you ever date any of those guys?" I said no...

....and then a few minutes later, I had to add, "But I did sleep with one of them once." He said, "Yeah, that's really what I was asking." I never told him which one and he didn't ask.

Oh, another confession: H doesn't know my "number" but I know his.

FutureMrsTR · July 2010

I confess that I'm still hoping FI's best girl friend from college (he's only spoken to her twice in the past two years, though) doesn't come to the wedding. It's my own insecurities, but I'd just rather not have to deal with it on my wedding day.

kikibaby · July 2010

She'll be ok, Courtney. Even through my slight bitterness, I can see that friend and HS crush guy are a much better match than he and I would have been.

georgia_bride09 · July 2010

Courtney, did you run it by your friend before you started dating him? I'd be crushed if I'd liked a guy for years and then my best friend scooped him up.

Also, what does "And the whole time, my FH was in the room" mean? I've been meaning to ask you about that, but kept forgetting.

In college I sort of had a casual crush on a guy that ended up liking my best friend and they made out several times at the bar, and when she started dating her BF (now H), I did try to get him to break them up by pursuing her again (her H is just heinous and they were LD); anyways, it didn't work. And he made the moves on me once, but it was too late by then.

You're right about putting on my big girl panties. I usually do say no to the people at church who ask me to do things, but I just feel bad about it, because I almost always say no. I'm just being avoidant, I guess.
I don't get angry when other people say no, though. Come to think of it, the people who I'm saying 'no' to, they're not people that I would really ask to do things for me.
