Who is amandasw? Was I supposed to notice she was gone?Definitely opening the bottle of red now.

Brie2010 · August 2009

Thanks cacoffer! I just keep telling myself that we're really lucky to be financially stable through all this with FI's job. It could be much, much worse.

missy68 · August 2009

Fische, yup - I've mostly just responded, though. I've only actually created one post. I responded to your poll last night - the multi question one (the one about what subject you wouldn't joke about, etc). I think I was the last to respond to it, though....Brie, I SO totally feel what you're feeling. Mood swings-r-us here. I'm considering going back on an anti-depressant, but don't know how compatible it is with my Strattera. Winter last year was tough - my first in Iowa.

BecW2be · August 2009

I'm sitting beside Sarabellum on the letter for a middle name idea. My confession: I have enormous guilt over the fact that my daughter has a haircut appt. tomorrow and I'll be at FI's cleaning/organizing so I can't take her. It's her dad's weekend, but he's toofucking sorry to go get her at her friend's house and take her for a haircut without bitching about it, so she'll have to endure that tomorrow, and I feel bad that I can't cancel on FI and stay here to take her myself. It makes me hate that douchebag even more than I already did.

Brie - I'm happy that my sig makes you happy! =)Louisville - Muncie

georgia_bride09 · August 2009

p2, I know how you feel. One the one hand I appreciate when my husband picks up breakfast, but on the other hand I wish he would get it right just ONCE. I only like the Bac,Egg & Chz Croissanwich at BK. NOT THE SAUSAGE. We have also repeatedly had the Aquafina (me) vs Dasani (him) discussion. The other day, I asked him to get me a water from the gas station. Yep, Dasani. I wanted to make him take it back, but I held my tongue.

Brie2010 · August 2009

Heh, missy, my first bout with depression occured when I moved to Iowa a few years ago. We're not there anymore, but man, the winters are brutal. They're no worse than anywhere else in the midwest, but the road maintenance is so awful! By March it's like driving on a 6 inch thick sheet of ice. It was gross.

bbyckes · August 2009

I confess fishy's comment about my invisibility cloak made me giggle with glee. BTW - Can't wait until Glee starts!

BecW2be · August 2009

SarabellAm. Sorry!

MeaghanandMichael · August 2009

Fishy - I can think of one post in particular that stands out as a good example of this theory... So a poster (RosyBride, she's crazy and posts on the Boston board too, but not the point) wanted to know what other people did for their 'wedding weekend' events. Instead of picking on things I would consider funny/bizarre about her (her oblivious condescending attitude or her use of the words 'family compound' to describe her wedding venue) most people were like, 'shut up, stop worrying about stupid things, you are wasting money and no one cares to help you.' It just gets boring... Some of my favs like wading and tide still gave it to her good though.

louisvillebride21 · August 2009

Aww Dud, its 3 hours from me

I will be in Indy on Labor Day though. I'm not sure how far away that is though.

crfische · August 2009

ZOMG, Muncie. I used to go up there all the time from Indy. What's the name of that super awesome restuarant on the corner there... I LOVE their food.

ricksang · August 2009

Confession- I can't wait for Bec to KUI again.

SwedishChick2011 · August 2009

Where in Indiana do you live, Dudley?

FutureMrsDudley55 · August 2009

Louisville - Indy is about an hour and 15 minutes away, if traffic is good!

Audrey_03 · August 2009

[i]Meaghan - P&E is much nicer now than it used to be...[/i] Definitely. I still occasionally feel the sting from being called an inconsiderate, gift grabby, attention whore.

Lucy Milligan · August 2009

Brie - and others, I know there are a bunch of people in your stich on here - I moved to a city where I didn't know a soul and didn't have a job (and this was before I met FI). I know whereof I speak!1) Get out of the house. Seriously. Anything. I used to go check out books at the library (free!) and then go park in a mall type thing to read (also free, as long as you can resist the coffee shop!). Just being around people going about their lives lifted my spirits.2) Volunteer. I guarantee you there is a nonprofit that can use your skills and knowledge, and it will look great on your resume. What are you passionate about? Doggies? Arts? Hunger? Poverty? Search idealist.org and opportunityknocks.org - not even for jobs, but to find orgs you're interested in, then call them up and offer your services for free. I would be SHOCKED if no one takes you up on it... and who knows, it may turn into something paid.3) Join a club. In my city, I joined Junior League. Now, this depends on where you are - some places it is all very rich ladies who lunch, but where I was it was very much young working girls on a budget, a very we're all in this together feeling. My very best friends from that city I met through JL, and the job networking can also be fantastic! Check out JL and women's groups like it in your town - they get a bad rap, but this was the single best thing I did for myself in creating a social life.Also, I know you've probably already thought of these things, but you're feeling not so hot and your couch looks comfy. **Slap!!**This is your friendly wakeup call from a stranger. Get off your butt and do it! You're awesome, you have lots of energy and talent to offer the world, and you can make a great life for yourself in this new city.

TheSaltyPeanut · August 2009

cacoffer - I totally can't wait for Glee either!

BecW2be · August 2009

I just did last night! It was rather calm though, as far as KUI goes for me. (I also confess that I *just* figured out what KUI means. I thought it was Kill Ugly Insects or something!)

Audrey_03 · August 2009

FutureMrsDudley55, Where in Indiana?

MeaghanandMichael · August 2009

Sucrets -yeah I am sure those who have been here longer can elaborate more on my theory or correct it as I have really only been here a little under a year, more lurking then posting, but I don't care about the level of meanness as much as I guess I am bothered by automatronic meanness.

louisvillebride21 · August 2009

I love Indy. Its an hour and a half from Louisville. We're going up to Circle Center mall on Labor day for some sales. I haven't been shopping in so long. My parents completely randomly said that they wanted to give me money to go back to school shopping because its my last year of school. They haven't done that since senior year of high school. Totally pumped.

punkyb2b · August 2009

I think I saw moneypenny on my run this morning but since I dont have a pic up here, I thought it would be weird to say hi. I hate that we are in Boston and wont be back in NYC for 2 weeks. I'm seriously considering not traveling back and forth with DH as much anymore.

NicoleSahara · August 2009

I confess I have really morbid thoughts pretty often. Like "What would I do if someone tried to kidnap me?" And then think through how I would escape, if I could shoot them if I had to, etc. Or "what if I wrecked?" It gets pretty gory, and it's usually almost a subconcious kind of thing, but I disturb myself with such awful thoughts! My mom said I'd say the most terrible things when I was very young, too, like talking about crashing and our brains spilling on the concrete. I never watched bad movies or anything...what's wrong with me?

Brie2010 · August 2009

Thanks lucyanddrew. I'm actually headed to the library this afternoon, actually, and have my first volunteer shift next Tuesday, so hopefully things will be better soon. I'm also taking classes at the gym every day, so that's something. It's just tough to make new meaningful connections with people.

tlv204 · August 2009

Ditto on the recognition thing. TLVs need love too. And Brie I kind of understand your issues. I have a job, but it hasn't started yet (who knows when it will since they're cutting down vacation time for teachers), but I've been so lonely all summer it's not even funny. I just keep telling myself things have to get better eventually!Confession: I think Ray Liotta is really irritating. As is the show Just Shoot Me. Why am I watching an episode of Just Shoot Me with Ray Liotta guest starring?

georgia_bride09 · August 2009

BTW - Can't wait until Glee starts! Same here! The pilot hooked me. My fave character is the kid in the wheelchair- so cute! coffer, you have excellent taste in TV!

HDutko · August 2009

I lurk on thebump sometimes because I have major babies on the brain but am making myself wait for another year.

FutureMrsDudley55 · August 2009

Fishy - Popular restaurants would be:Carino'sTexas RoadhouseBob EvansVera Mae'sThe LandingAmazing Joe's Bar and Grill.. formerly 909 GrilleAny of those sound familiar?

sarabellam · August 2009

Definitely. I still occasionally feel the sting from being called an inconsiderate, gift grabby, attention whore.Hmm. I've been posting on P&E for about a year, and I've never been called inconsiderate, gift grabby, or and attention whore. I must be doing it wrong.
