Confessions, Opinions, WTF

DodgersBride · May 2011

I think so too Spiffy. I was a little peeved that they emailed me this morning to attend it tonight but I can't really get mad at the church.

klapham · May 2011

I confess that although I miss my FI terribly, I do not want to move back to MD for the summer. We talked about this and its probably the best for us and for our money situation, but I live 20 min from the beach which would be PERFECT for the summer. Oh well...

I also am having a WTF moment because my FI has all of a sudden become very insecure about us living 7 hours apart. I understand that its hard, but hes dealing with it differently. I think its just because I've been super busy at work and he's been feeling a little neglected.

I confess that I am seriously pissed off at FI over, of all things, facebook. Earlier today he posted an article and one of his friends commented that the American public is generally uneducated and someone else commented that they blamed teachers and parents for that, but mostly teachers. I, being a teacher, commented back and FI got all pissy because he goes to school with the guy I responded to and he's worried that I offended him. Well, he offended me. I know it's stupid, but geez.

It doesn't help that it's almost the end of the school year and work has been really aggravating because I am trying to teach and some of my students are not having it, which is the point I was trying to make on stupid facebook--why is it my fault if somebody doesn't want to learn and wants to be a bum their whole life?!?

End rant.

julbgordo · May 2011

I confess that I'm pretty excited to visit my SIL and brother tomorrow, especially since my brother and I haven't gotten along for a few years now, but that certainly seems to be turning around quickly.

I also confess how RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED I am to finally be out of grad school and out of the horrible town we were living in!!!!!!

And WTF?! I need a job and EVERYONE has you apply online and NO ONE gets back to you. People suck.

THIS. I applied for research positions last summer, and nearly ONE YEAR LATER received rejection notices. I think the complete lack of personalization lets those in charge forget that there are people out there who need to know what's going on, even if the answer is no.

This too! I probably apply to at least 5 jobs a day, the other day it was like 30, and I think I've been rejected from maybe 4. Why does no one get back to anyone! And also, why does EVERYONE want someone wth experience already-how are we supposed to get any experience if no one will hire us! Apparently internships aren't enough? WTF!

[QUOTE]I am probably the proudest Army sister out there and it pisses me of to no end when I hear people protesting the war at funerals of our serviceman who have died serving our country.

Yesterday, Westboro Baptist Church, who I believe are the main offenders, protested at the high school I graduated from. They said, " WBC will picket the fag-infested, pervert-run XXXXXX High School" and continued to say "you corrupt your children from the womb, so God has given you violent, freakish, worthless, brute-beast children. You hate your children, and as God continues cursing you, you will turn aside to eat your children."

I'm not certain what my alma mater in particular to offend WBC, but hundreds showed up to counter protest. There were some clever signs, a handful of (rightfully) angry vets, and local motorcycle group that drove back and fourth revving their engines at the group. Across town a vet and his wife held a bake sale where all the proceeds went to the Wounded Warriors Project.

I confess that I am completely confused about what I want to do "when I grow up" and am terrified I will make the wrong grad school decision. I just wish I was one of those people who absolutely knew what they wanted to do with their lives. I also confess that I'm keeping my fingers crossed FI just gets extremely successful so I can just make babies and stay home with them, that sounds much better than any possible "career" choice. :)

Edited for spelling error!

TeamMoriarty · May 2011

i am amazed at how tight knot this group of complete strangers are. we are so supportive of one another-all very different in our tastes and upbringings, but able to put it aside to be there for a bunch of women on the other end of a keyboard. you ladies rock. i am so happy to be a part of this board.

diamond and dodgers, and everyone else going through tuff stuff, my T & P are with you. i know it's hard to do sometimes, but try to keep a PMA (positive mental attitude). in my experience, it has really helped.

i confess that i am on TK instead of finishing my last self reflection paper for my acting class. it's the last thing i have to do for grad school this year.

i confess that i am a little nervous about being at my dad/stepmom's this weekend, but only because they haven't told us how much they are contributing to the wedding. we never asked for any money, they told us they would be giving us some money but that they weren't going to tell us how much until they had seen how we were doing with planning, etc. (basically, they want us to be smart- and we are. we're trying to budget 7500 but i think it will end up more like 10000). the thing is, we are flying to MA to book our venue and if possible, our caterer and photographer. it might be the only trip before the actual wedding and it is hard to book things when you don't know what kind of budget you're working with. i feel guilty because whatever they give us will be appreciated, but it'd be nice to know.

Courtney, I feel like your FI should have stuck up for you and been on your side. There must be a better reason besides the fact that he goes to school with the guy for him to be annoyed.

AshnRobo · May 2011

I confess that FI and I have been discussing elopement. I know it is maybe a better decision, but I want my pretty princess day and I feel like I'm being selfish.

midgetthemighty · May 2011

I confess that I ventured over to the Wedding Wire forums earlier and I am pretty suprised at the advice some people are giving....

sprtychick10 · May 2011

I confess that I am a type A planner. I know my schedule like the back of my hand. FI is completely different from me, he likes to fly by the seat of his pants.

Danidawn20 · May 2011

WTF to the fact I had a final yesterday that was suppose to be less than 2 hours and took me 2 1/2 hours. I was the first one of my group/ class that took it yesterday to be done, AND it was a shortened version of the orginal. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sweetcanadian1979 · May 2011

I confess that since i haven't been working i am up all hours of the night reading the forums here. I used to be a night owl then i got out of it but since no one is here for me ot get up for i go to bed 2-3 am and get up about 11. Fi gets annoyed but i would rather that than sit here from 8am till 8pm waiting on him to get home. At least when i am up late he is in the house.

this one may get me hate but i confess that my the 500km area around me is flooding horrible right now, worst flood in 300 years and they are going to purposely flood a 225km area of that because the river can't handle anymore and neither can the lake it is going into and i am just glad that it is east of me so i am not "directly" affected. I feel horrible for those that are and i would help if i could but i am relieved it shouldn't hit me.

Did you apply to work at John Hopkins too? I got about 7 of those emails this week.

DrPB2b13 · May 2011

MMRoberts - Nope, Harvard! I've heard awful things about Johns Hopkins though, from a professor who worked there only a few years ago. I won't go into detail, but I'll just say that as a woman, you would likely have been frequently offended with little recourse...

Cassandra999 · May 2011

I'm a few days late on this thread but whatever.

1st confession - I am searching wedding stuff while I'm at work all the time! I know i shouldnt but i can stop!

2nd confession- I can't stop clothes & shoe shopping! I'm starting to think it might be a real problem. FI gets mad because my laundry (mclean laundry) is all over the floor all the time. There's not room to hang it all in my closet. I just said last week "seriously, no more clothes or shoes until we have the wedding savings in a better place" then I went & bought 4 pairs of shoes & about 6 shirts last week!
