Confession Thursday

Britj1030 · July 2012

This is where we spill the beans!!! lol

I confess that I am a little embarrassed to pass out my invites at the office. I really dont like when the office starts talking and me being the center of attention for the day

Julyet06 · July 2012

I am starting to get a bit nervous about getting things done and in place for the wedding...I know everyone here says time is going to fly but I haven't gotten the fire lit under my butt to get moving!!
I am also a bit upset with myself. I didn't pass my last exam for the CPA and now I have to retake that one PLUS the very first exam I passed since that score is now expired :-( There are 4 parts to the exam and you have to pass all 4 within an 18 month window to qualify...Well my first window expired so now I am back to having to take and pass 2 out of 4. My next window expires March 2013. At least I get to take these exams as often as I need to BUT I have to PAY for them each time AND I have been studying and working hard for the last year and a half and now I've taken a step back!!! I really thought I'd be done by now, I failed what would have been my final exam by 6 freaking points!!! I seriously have had to say no to going out with friends and I don't even watch TV when I am on "study mode". These exams require so much devotion and I am just exhausted. Ok, rant over...for some reason this didn't make me feel all that much better lol! Guess I'm just bitter and need to suck it up. I owe you a big glass of Riesling for reading this lol!

I confess that I still can't believe the wedding is over and that I'm starting to wish I had an AHR to look forward to.

I know we decided not to do one because we did a big party in DR and spent a lot of money and it isn't fair to the people that made the effort to go out there to just have another party here... but I don't want the wedding festivites to be over either.

I tried to convince DH (I actually wrote FI first!) to plan a party, but he isn't having it

Oh well.... I guess I just need to suck it up and accept that I'm an old married and the parties are over ;(

minionlover · July 2012

Jen - why can't you just plan a BBQ or something really simple? Even just for fun?

I confess that I too am getting a little stressed about not getting things done for the wedding. I procrastinated on the invites so they are going out later than I wanted but I also kind of feel that we already know who is coming so it doesn't really matter anyway.

jtoly · July 2012

Jen I felt the same way! I wish I did something back home. Actually what I wanted was for my friends to want to celebrate with me but I didn't even get a card from ANY of them!! I didn't want any gifts since it was my second wedding but just a night out wouldve made me feel like a newlywed. I guess I confess I'm disappointed in my friends. My friends through one of our friends 2 suprise 40th bday parties recently yet I guess my marriage wasnt important to them.

minionlover · July 2012

That sucks about your friends Jenn. I would be kind of upset too.

I want to also confess that I am still wondering what this secret is that Jenn knows about her XBFF. She hasn't told us but I KNOW that she wants to.

venus909 · July 2012

Jenn - I can relate.. can you believe my oldest brother didn't even call or send a text to tell me congratulations or that he hopes I have a good trip but he called my mom to tell her that he hopes she has a good trip the day before we left... UGH! my family is not cool sometimes....

A BBQ would be nice, but DH doesn't want to have anything at the house

FaithCaitlin · July 2012

I confess that I'm avoiding DIY projects and continue to eliminate more and more because I'm scared of screwing them up... and because I can't motivate myself to do them, lol.

WinstonsGirl · July 2012

I confess that even though we didn't want an AHR, I'm a little glad we're doing one. Mom insisted, and it's super low key - meet and greet/open house idea with snacks, and that's it. But what I really need to confess is that even though we specified no gifts for the wedding, I'm a little pumped that some distant family members who couldn't make the wedding are asking Mom where we are registered. We had a super small registry (towels, sheets and I think that was it) and we just bought ourselves the last of the towels we didn't get, so Mom's telling them something to help with landscaping our back yard, so I'm kinda hoping they just give us a cheque!! I'm totally cool with nothing, but if they do bring something, I'm not going to turn it down, kwim?? Ha, now I just feel like a geedy little byotch!!

Cathy check out WTF Wednesday.....i responded in there

Wow Jen i can't believe that about your brother. I guess some people handle things different than we would.

stefwells23 · July 2012

Jen - That sucks about your bother

Sometimes family just doesn't get how important some things are to others.

Jenn - I don't get why people act that way?! Regardless of it being your scond wedding it is still a special day, and acknowledgement is always nice, because I am sure that you are the type of person that tries to make everyone elses special days even more meaningful.

I confess that I don't even want to think about wedding plans right now. I wish that we had booked a trip to Thailand with some friends this November (they are going for three weeks).... and then we could just get married there and not have to worry about planning a thing. *Sigh*

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confession Thursday : Cathy check out WTF Wednesday.....i responded in there Posted by jtoly[/QUOTE]

Done...She's crazy. I find it strange that she flipped out like that on you. Maybe her sister is still with her boyfriend and just wants your XH on the side. Maybe she's playing both sides and maybe your XBFF is stuck in the middle of everything. Either way, who cares, it's their lives. I guess XBFF doesn't want to see it that way and wants everyone to be miserable.

jtoly · July 2012

Cathy my other friends that are not in that circle of friends thinks she's crazy too. Lol. She's having a party in 3 weeks and I'm not sure I even want to go.

jtoly · July 2012

Also to everyone with wedding stress...I think you all need to elope!! : )

stefwells23 · July 2012

Jenn - just read the secret... and that is crazy!! She needs to learn how to calm the F*** down!! If I were you, I wouldn't want to go either. Why would you want to put yourself in an awkward situation like that.... who knows what she will do if you say even the slightest thing wrong in her mind. Yikes!

harr0610 · July 2012

Jenn-your friend is nuts!!! It honestly sounds like she has the mentallity of a 7th grader. Sorry you're going through this.

I confess while I got a LOT of "checks" this week....seeing the actual checks (as in the money they cost) leave my bank account was painful!! I know we've been saving and now it's time to use those savings on wedding related stuff but...that's the most money I've had leave my account in a week I think ever.

So while I'm happy to have things move along, it's almost a little bittersweet and it makes me a little nervous to see that savings account dwindle.

TrudM75 · July 2012

Faith - I am totally with you - I am pretty bad with the DIY stuff and have decided that some things will just be purchased instead :-)

I confess that I have vacation on the brain! I cannot wait for this week to be over and to go the beach!

TrudM75 · July 2012

Just catching up on this thread - now I need to go read WTF Wednesday to find out what the XBF did!!

Julyet06 · July 2012

i had to do the same! lol!

jtoly · July 2012

Lol. I'm glad you all agree. I love how she hasn't said one word about the whole thing to me since she was supposed to talk to her sister and my XH. She has no balls!

stefwells23 · July 2012

No balls at all! It's interesting to me that people like that can't stand up for themselves and all the crap they say. I know from experience that when you call people like that out on their crap... most of the time they avoid it at all costs. Knowing deep down they are hiding something, and aren't willing to admit they were wrong. I have dealt with this too many times lately.

My crazy 'friend' that is dating my FI's BF has now starting talking about my bachelorette party. Which isn't being planning until late next year. She was blabbling to everyone about how she wants us to go to Vegas, and wonders why I haven't talked to her about it. Um, because you aren't invited!!!! Then, of course she starts talking about the wedding, again. WTF is wrong with this girl, and why can't she take a hint?

And, I agree with your statement. Eloping does sound so much easier!!

jtoly · July 2012

Lol. That's funny about your "friend". She will be shocked when invites come along! Yes I agree! That is why I said to go ahead and ask my XH why he would tell me that. He is going to say because it was told to me. Or he will say his famous saying "don't care". When I told her he would say "don't care" she said..."he would never say that to me". I said when I was married to him he said it to me all the time what makes u think he won't say it to you. She had no response.

stefwells23 · July 2012

I haven't even said a word to anyone but my best friend about my b-party. This girl is starting to really get under my skin. I just have to wonder what will happen next, cause my patience is very low with her already and I don't know if I will be able to keep my mouth shut when she says anything to me again.

Of course she didn't!!! They never do. Grrrr!

MissVowles · July 2012

I confess that this is the first time in two weeks I have actually had time to read up on some posts on here! lol finally back from the much needed holiday...

I also confess that since finding out we have to post pone our wedding I haven't put a single thought into re doing the planning... I feel like I have no idea where to start now

darleneg2b · July 2012

I confess that I REALLY want to elope!!!!! Like get on a plane this weekend and get married!!!! But my family would kill me!!! lol Oh well I guess

gummibear2013 · July 2012

Nicole that sucks about your exam. You will pass the next one I'm sure.

Jen, there has to be a way to have another celebration don' t give up.lol and that sucks about your brother

Cathy I agree I'm in the same boat as you procrastinating

Jenn, your friends are truly wrong for that they should have done something for you doesn' t matter what number wedding it's your special day and they are your friends.

Harr06 I feel your pain..lol

I confess that I wish things were going better and smoother with wedding and planning had a setback and it's taking it's toll
