Confessions Wednesdays!!

courtneybrooke921 · September 2009

I confess.......1. I ate chips and salsa last night at Chile's. I didn't want to - but I had dinner with one of my favorite girlfriends....and we got to talking... and I didn't realize she ordered them...and BOOM! I'm eating them right along with her. UHHHHH.2. I am zooming through my current book (Perfect Match) to read the new DAN BROWN book I bought last night!! (Author of Da Vinci Code) I can't wait!3. My 26th birthday is on Monday... while I'm VERY excited (who doesn't love birthdays??) - I keep telling everyone not to buy me gifts because of the wedding. I'm half way serious and half way hoping I get gifts. (Hey - it's confessions, right?)4. I love my menu but I think the etsy lady is going to kill me - I KEEP making changes. She's probably thinking - "I should have charged this idiot a lot more then $10".5. I can't wait until my bridal shower!!! I'm nervous because FMIL, FSIL & a few ladies from Florida are coming up - it's going to be a packed house and I'm very nervous for it!!6. I can't get on track with eating healthy. I say it every week. It's not even a confession anymore.

WHAT DO YOU CONFESS???

aitirone · September 2009

Court - seriously, if it wasnt for my diet - thats the way i live. I SWEAR to myself that ill start "next week" and i never did. It's just so hard. I LOVE FOOD. ahhhhhh my bridal shower is in like 3 weeks, i know, its so nerve wrecking! Ok my confessions........... 1. I confess im starting to freak out about money. We never set a budget, we just went along with the flow of things, but now that we are looking at everything on paper - WOW, shoot me? lol. 2. I love my mom more than anything in the world and seriously dont know what im going to do to thank her for giving me the wedding of my dreams. She is paying 50% of the wedding ( todds parents are paying the other half ) but my mom is bending BACKwards to make this work. Like...you have no idea. It kills me to see her do this knowing she cant really afford it, but the thing is , she wouldnt have it ANY other way. I just love her. 3. I confess I feel very lucky lately. Lucky to be able to stay home right now with my little pumpkin, i cant imagine going back to work and not being with her all day. I mean come on, sleeping on my chest all day is the cutest thing ever. 4. I also confess i feel lucky about my baby weight loss. I talked a crap load of well..crap, before that i would lose the weight, but i never thought it was possible! 5. Speaking of weight loss - i confess, and this is hard for me to do, i am now covered in stretch marks. Did i get ANY during pregnacy? NOPE. Not ONE. But all of a sudden i lost all the weight and here they come? Luckily, they arent visable to the eye...unless im nakey booty. 6. A few nights ago I got so worked up that my wedding was so close, i threw up. LOL. I have the worst ainxiety out of anybody i know. I feel bad for my bridesmaids on wedding day, they are going to have to drug me!!!!

goldie3474 · September 2009

1) I am scared shytless that my dress wont zip on Saturday. I went online to the enzoani size charts and actually measured myself. Looks like I am ok but if I get there and it doesnt fit I will freak the eff out. 2) I thought I nailed down a menu design last night but I woke up today wanting to change it. I'm so annoying. 3) Amy, I feel you on the wedding cost. I cant think about anything else. I will be so happy when we pay off our vendors. I didnt budget for certain things and it's messed my budget up so bad. 4) I want a maid to come to my house weekly, starting TODAY.

courtneybrooke921 · September 2009

AMY - First off, your mama sounds amazing!!!!! and I'm SO happy you are able to spend these precious days with your little peanut... I love the new FB pictures by the way!!! Second, don't worry about the stretch marks. They will fade, seriously!! (my sister had the worst, and now you can only see them if you are standing next to her!) - also, about the anxiety - you threw up??? That's amazing. Take a xanax that morning!! lolol Alissa - Don't worry about your dress!!!!! It's going to look GORGEOUS - I can't wait to see pix!!!! I have a cleaning lady come to my house once a month. I'd have her come once a week if I could!!! I hate cleaning. I'm so spoiled. lol

aitirone · September 2009

Alissa its going on I PROMISE. I wish i could be there saturday with you. But you will be fine, promise promise. I also have a cleaning lady once a month. 50 bucks, its sooooo worth it.

rclnd83 · September 2009

I confess, I should have gone to vegas! Wedding planning doesnt let me sleep.

latinachica29 · September 2009

I confess.... I made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting last night! It's only Sept, wedding in Dec, so I'm ok. FI wants to move in, but I'm not sure I'm ready to give up my space. I thought I had 3 more months...lol. My girls are planning my bachelorette and shower for October!!! YAY

tylerandrem · September 2009

I confess...1. I feel like I am forgetting all the little things I dreamed about for my day because I have been consumed with the big picture planning!2. I have lost my ability to be creative for my own wedding, but can come up with great ideas for others.3. I am questioning some of the vendors I have chosen, but its too late to turn back!That's it for now!

eagles.fan1234 · September 2009

I confess... 1. I haven't worked out as often as I should. two days a week is not going to cut it. 2. i have been stressing out over an exam i'm taking next month but haven't really studied yet. i need to take a timeout from wedding planning to really focus on this. 3. i miss my FI. i hate when he leaves even if it is only for a week.

cinthia122 · September 2009

I confess.... 1. Flowers have been more stressful than I planned. 2. Work is insane and getting in the way of knotting lol. Non stop meetings today so you won't be seeing too many post from me.

FutureMrsFezz · September 2009

i confess.......thinking that i'm past my two month mark now makes me nauseated....i purposely did not send invites to certain people my dad made me invite because i don't even know these people. he'll never know!...i bought that stupid neckline slimmer at walgreens (i saw it in an infomercial - lol) because i hate my profile... i know it won't work, i just need to loose weight - but the last frikin place i loose it from is my face! grrr.that might be it for now!

TheJennius · September 2009

Courtney: Girl, eating healthy is one of my via crucis too! I do it, and then my dad brings home a pie from Fresh Market. Boo. And i get your birthday thing! FI asks me what I want for Christmas and I say "Thermography invitation suites

" He hates me lol.Amy: I hate budgets, gnyah. I also hate paying vendors! But kudos to your mommy, that is so awesome of her

LMAO no throwing up, girl! Alissa: That bad boy will fit, and you will look gorgeous. I told you, I'm so excited about your wedding it ain't funny! Gladys: *shakes you* TAKE ME WITH YOU!Joanne: Red velvet + cream cheese = my doggone dream wedding cake! And that's so great about October ;)Rem: I know what you mean, I could plan a beach wedding in under an hour, but I am freaking out about the timeline for my own. And go with what your bride's heart tells you: it's never too late for those vendors!Curt: Good luck on that exam!

TheJennius · September 2009

I confess:1. If I hear a Taylor freaking Swift song, I cry. I'm not kidding, and I don't hate her. I just ... start to cry. And I want to cuddle with FI. I have officially gone bonkers. Thanks, wedding planning, thanks a whole FREAKING lot.2. I'm having eye surgery. I probably should have said something before, seeing as how I'll need knottie vibes and prayers, but I'm scared shitless. Whee.

anovaxo · September 2009

*Amy: You look great for just having the baby! Very proud of you

I confess... 1. That it feels weird to know that my wedding is so close, I'm used to people telling me "your wedding isn't for another 14 months" now it's around the corner...I'm freaking out!2. That there are a few peole I wish I didn't have to spend my money on to go to our wedding- waste of space & money ugh!3. That I wish it was Friday to be on my bachelorette cruise!4. I have no idea how to do my hair for the wedding & I'm not even stressing it, I have to get on the ball!5. I am nervous about writing my own vows, I don't want them to be too long but I don't want to miss anything & make it too short

eagles.fan1234 · September 2009

Jennius - i'm sending some knottie vibes your way. i'm sure everything will turn out fine

TtotheG · September 2009

Jen - what for!? good luck, love! Alissa - Your dress will fit! You're going to look beautiful!!! - I'm driving to Orlando tomorrow to go back to work on Friday. I'll be there for two weeks. FI and I are being babies over this. We are never ever apart and I can't stand the thought of being with out him. Co-dependent much? Yeah. lol - I don't want to go back to work. - It's 10am.... I just got up

) lol

allik1981 · September 2009

I've never done this before but.... I confess.....- FI and I are going to go make an offer on a townhome tonight and I'm really freaking out about it. We've already been down this road once before and it didn't work out so I'm really hoping this one does.- I really wasn't planning on doing any school work this week but then last night found out I have a huge project due Sunday so now need to get my butt in gear!- I am really nervous about asking one of my best girlfriends to be a bridesmaid. She's been complaining a lot lately about being maid of honor in another friend's wedding so I feel like she already is annoyed with being in that wedding but I coudn't picture getting married without her being a part of it.- The air conditioner in our office is broken and for once I'm burning up in here! I wish they would let us work from home while they fix it so I wouldn't feel as though I'm having hot flashes!Ok, I feel much better!

alexisrouse00 · September 2009

Okay I had to come out of lurking mode to get in on confessions Wednesday. I confess that no one knows I have a secret wedding gadget (I'm adding uplighting to my reception, shhhh). I confess that I'm buying FI the band that he has been wanting as his wedding day gift.I confess that I have a gazillion things to do for my wedding and I haven't worked on one yet. I confess that I am too excited to start my remaining DIY projects.I confess that I am so nervous and I wish I hadn't sent out my invites so that I can push the date back. (Yeah that nervous)

YHFoxtrot · September 2009

Haven't read the other confessions yet but I'm going to when things slow down here. I've had two days from hell.My Confessions:1. I'm devastated and kind of depressed right now b/c we found our dream house this weekend but I think I have to let it go because I don't know if I can afford it down the road. Business is slow and unless it picks up, I may not be able to afford the mortgage. But I don't want to let this house go. It's a short sale and an amazing deal. I have to decide today whether or not to put in the bid and I"ve been agonizing since Sunday over this. My heart says do it but my brain says don't. I'm really really sad.2. I'm also really sad b/c Matt is leaving for California tonight to go for his bachelor party! I'm gonna miss him and he's leaving during a time I need him most... but I'm excited for him too. They are driving out to Lake Mead and renting a house boat to go wakeboarding, fishing etc...3. I haven't thought about the wedding barely at all in the last 3 days b/c I"m so obsessed over this house purchase.4. I'm about to cry.

Vicki2914 · September 2009

I confess.....I am SO tired of DH being in dental school. I want a normal life with 2 incomes NOW. I thought $$$$ would not be an issue by the time I was 30. That I have a bridesmaid who still owes me $100 for her hair and makeup and when I read her FB statuses about spending $$ at disney I want to confront her. She didnt HAVE to get her hair or makeup done, she opted in. She knew it would be $100 for 4 months before the wedding. I hate asking for $$, even when its owed to me. I am still mad at MIL for the little scenes and tiffs she had at my wedding and during the process. But now she wants to pretend like its all good since all her friends have raved non stop about the weding and my thank you notes to them. Its SO NOT ALL GOOD. Dont you get it when I respond to 1 email for every 4 you send me? Get the hint, lady! I feel dumb for still being on the knot sometimes since I am married since June. But since I work from home, you girls are like my co-workers. I an not a nestie kind of girl. That board moves too slow for me. :-(I wish I could hang out with Jillian, Jaime, Alissa and Amy more.

aitirone · September 2009

Jaime - I love you and im a firm believe in do what your heart tells you to do. I know, prob not the best advice. Vicki - if you leave the knot, ill slit my wrists. The nest is HORRIBLE. The first page is like posts from 10 days ago. VOMIT. Im sure some nesties are lurking and reading this and i dont care.

Can you come visit now pleae? Jordyn wants to meet you and cant wait for her party to do so.

YHFoxtrot · September 2009

Thanks Amy... I love you too. I believe in following my heart too.. but I fear that following my heart will lead me to going broke. Right now I'm in a comfortable financial situation and I don't know that risking that is worth having this house. I'm just so sad b/c it's amazing. But there is a big chance that if my business doesn't turn around by this time next year (which is possible) that both Matt and I will be out of a job, and unable to make our mortgage payments and that would be a nightmare.

YHFoxtrot · September 2009

Ok onto everyone else:

TtotheG · September 2009

Jaime - I'm gonna speak as your brain, k? There will be another dream home. Joe and I found our dream home last year, put in an offer and we were ready to close. I got sick. Had we closed on that house, we would've been in a realllllly bad situation when I got ill. On the flip side, we've come across so many homes in Toronto that we love 10 times more and will be able to afford come next year no issue... even if one of us loses our job. I promise, good things come to those who wait

But, it's also ok to be totally disappointed. ((hugs))

cinthia122 · September 2009

Well said Tess. Jaime YGM.

YHFoxtrot · September 2009

Courtney - You didn't want to? Really? You know those chips were yummy yum yum. It's ok! OOOH it's almost your birfday! How fun! I hope you get some fun gifts too. I have been trying to eat healthy too... it's not easy. I am nervous too b/c I'm going to tailgate tomorrow and I KNOW I'll be tempted to eat badly and probably WILL! Amy - You really are blessed. Despite the challneges you've faced in the past few months (and boy have you faced some challenges) you have an incredible support system between Todd, your mom, your friends and family! I'm very happy for you that you lost that weight. I knew you would. You are going to be so stunning I"m going to cry my eyes out! Don't freak about money. You will make some of it up in gifts from the wedding I'm sure! Alissa- That dress WILL zip. I will get that sucker on you if it kills me! And if it doesn't fit, well then we'll just have to go have some margaritas and laugh it off

You'll get into it. I know you will. Um... I told you last night, My house looks like a bomb went off. I'm in desparate need of maid service right now. Gladys - Don't be silly. THere's no Epic in Vegas! DUH!!!!!! Joanne - I'm jealous of your cuppy cakes! LOL at not wanting the FI to move in yet. Ah ha ha ha! Tyler - I'm worried about the details too. I haven't given them much thought AT ALL! I am also regretting one or two vendor choices but I can't bakc out now so I hope it all works out! Mikeey - I hear you on missing the FI. I miss mine and he hasn't even left yet! Cinthia - Don't worry about hte flowers. Yes it's stressful but you have SOOO much time! Courtney - Neckline slimmer? WHAT IS that??? Jen - What kind of Eye surgery? Lasik? Anovaxo - How exciting that you're going on your cruise!!! Have a blast! Tess - Two weeks apart would make me cry. I hear you. Allik - Good luck w/ that townhouse. I ALMOST made an offer today on a home but I don't think I can do it! Alexis - Don't be nervous, be excited! YAY for uplighting! Vicki - Don't you go anywhere. We love you. I too wish we could hang out more. Come to town this weekend or next... How bout this weekend? Ok? Ok.

anovaxo · September 2009

FutureMrsFezz · September 2009

AHAHAH! It's this stupid little thing that you put under your chin and it sits against your chest and your basically doing neck exercises to tighten the muscles - thus making the turkey neck/double chin thing go somewhat away! lol I'm such a tard. I'm a sucker for infomercials..

YHFoxtrot · September 2009

babytec · September 2009

Oh and Jenn!!! Knottie vibes for the surgery love!!!

I started this crazy diet and work out routine on monday and i am determined to make it work this time...Story of my life, though!- I went dress shopping yesterday! and I think i found the one!!! Ahhhhhhhhh I am going dress shopping again this saturday and try on a few more just to make sure i am not making a mistake but i won't post it on here until i am 100% sure...I love it though!- I am frustrated trying to find a photographer for my eparty next month! everyone that is reasonably priced is already booked. Maybe i'll just have to do without!- I love my knotties! i seriously don't know what i would do with you guys!!! Before i make any huge wedding-related decisioun, i always contact my knotties first to confirm and you always pull through! I am so blessed to have you all in my life.....i am such a dork...i know...ok i am done! sorry for the novel.
