Confession Thursday

Night_Sprite · January 2010

The specific confession post reminded me, it is Thursday. Time for confessions.

Mine: I am ready to be married and done with planning it.

laurenclaire1386 · January 2010

I put mine in the other thread, but I'll elaborate here:

I've done more knotting at work than working at work this week. Since I get paid by the hour, I feel bad about this. But, they only pay me a fraction of what they bill our clients for my work. I think my work is billed out at something close to $100 an hour, but I see a very small fraction of that. So I feel less bad when I think of it as our oil company clients paying for me to knot.

FutureMrsTR · January 2010

Ditto that, Sprite. And I'm still 7ish months out. I don't care about the details. I just want to marry FI.

I also confess that I'm a wee bit scared of a possible FFF tomorrow since it's been so long since we had one, haha.

JK10910 · January 2010

I'm now 9 months out from my wedding, and all we have are the venues. I have no desire to figure anything else out, so I'm right there with you all. But at the same time, I don't want to say "screw it" and JOP it either.

Confession 2: when FI has days off during the week, he seriously cramps my style and drives me up the wall. He had food poisoning on Monday and while I felt bad for him and did everything I could to make him more comfortable, I was relieved when he finally went to take a nap in the bedroom and was out for several hours.

FutureMrsDudley55 · January 2010

I confess that I'm REALLY nervous about physically walking down the aisle. I'm afraid I'll trip or be so nervous that I won't be able to smile or make any kind of emotion. I hate having people stare at me.

MissLeahM · January 2010

I'm trying to apply for college, at work. So I'm basically getting paid to try to go to school.

Also, I find it rather annoying that FI's little sister (who isn't getting married/isn't engaged) keeps telling me about her wedding plans.. I seriously don't care, I'm losing interest in my own wedding planning, why would i want to help you plan yours?

FutureMrsDudley55 · January 2010

I also confess that I had loads of time of over Christmas break to work on wedding projects and I hardly did anything, so it makes me worry that I won't get everything I want done.

bbyckes · January 2010

I confess for awhile I didn't think we were going to be able to afford to get married. (Yeah, all I know is that you need a piece of paper and an officiant.) But, we've reworked almost everything and it's all set. I'm thrilled.

I also confess that while I love FI - omg has he been bugging lately. I also wish he were more of a go-getter.

betrothed123 · January 2010

I confess that I'm still incredibly angry with my H. I thought I was over it but I guess I'm not. Then again, he basically repeated the behavior last night that had initially made me so angry, so maybe I'm justified?

Nebb · January 2010

An ex of mine (who I was head over heels for) who broke my heart and dumped me 3 weeks before I was supposed to move across the province to live with him, we say hi and happy birthday and crap online once in a while but dont really talk. He was on msn lastnight talking to me and admitted that breaking up with me is one of the biggest regrets of his life and sometimes he cant stop thinking about me and how great I am and what we might have had. Im actually quite pleased to hear how tortured he is over it. Sucker.

momofayden · January 2010

I didn't realize it was thursday.

I wish we could scale down our wedding. It's too big and expensive. He comes from a huge family so there is no way around it though.

I will be 5 months out on the 12th and still haven't found a dress.

Mrs_AF · January 2010

I confess that I am putting off writing this short story for my grad school application because I am afraid of going to grad school.

Care to elaborate? I'm just curious.

That made me smile.

kate51485 · January 2010

i am so effing sick of fi being in school and us being in a semi ldr.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · January 2010

I confess I'm materialistic and shallow. I'm debating whether or not to ask another friend to be a BM. My reasons for not asking her have to do with the fact that we'll have a lot less attire options to work with. She won't wear anything red. (Deep red is my backup BM dress color, after chocolate.) She might even complain about carrying orange flowers. She has long, thick, gorgeous, BRIGHT red hair, and pale skin so there's a huge list of colors that she claims don't look good on her, including red, pink, orange, yellow and lime green. The other two BMs really don't care much. Also, we didn't hang out much for a few months, but now we're doing things together again, which is why I'm thinking about it.

pinkpinot · January 2010

Here it goes: I've been engaged since August and have done nothing. I also have no desire to do any wedding planning. It's an oxymoron considering I lurked here prior to be engaged b/c I was excited about the thought of being engaged and planning a wedding. Yes I want to be married but I don't want to spend my hard earned money on 1 day I guess. I'm torn.

EDIT: I love looking at wedding things, bios etc but when it comes to jump the gun and buy something or book a venue. I can't do it. I'm haunted by $$$$$$

betrothed123 · January 2010

Night,

I'd love to share, but I'm not all about airing our dirty laundry on a forum, especially not one I know he checks sometimes.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · January 2010

Oh, and I'm super nervous about writing my thesis. When I tried to start it last spring I had the advisor from hell and it ended in disaster.

Brie2010 · January 2010

I confess that I am seriously annoyed with our dog. We've had him for three months and he is just not getting the housebreaking thing. He is not very smart, doesn't bark at all, and he just doesn't let us know when he needs to go. We keep him on a schedule on the work week which works well, but on weekends it is a free-for-all. It is driving me batty.

Night_Sprite · January 2010

Other confession: I've watched almost 2 complete seasons of Angel this week. That is a lot of time in front of my television. I love vacation, but also know i should stop watching it for awhile. And yet, that next episode button gets pushed.

Mrs_AF · January 2010

Also, I'm waiting for FI to come home so we can go get lunch and I put way too much perfume on a few minutes ago but I'm too lazy to change my jacket, so I'm just going to sit here and suffer.

A similar thing happened to me, except he actually came to my college to tell me that. It's a great feeling.

kikibaby · January 2010

I got a little portable TV from my mom for Xmas and I've been watching it at work all week. Judge Alex is on right now, and it's much more interesting than working.

Also, I let it slip to FI earlier this week that the wedding we're planning is NOT my dream wedding. He's hurt and he keeps mentioning it. I don't want him to feel bad, but we just can't afford my dream wedding. I think most people are that way, though. Oh, and I also took a bit of a dig that neither him or his family has offered me or my family a penny to pay for anything so far (but, he is now going to pay for the hotel suite and plane tickets).

Brie, this made me laugh. Poor Millhouse.

sarahmk5 · January 2010

Also, the guy then told me if he could only "turn back time" (I kid you not.). It ruined Cher for me.

bbyckes · January 2010

I confess that it's been about 6 weeks since I've seen the inside of a gym. I'm disappointed in myself. My demise started right around the time I began taking anti-depressants.

Sure, I'm not longed depressed, but now, I'm not motivated. I guess you could say, I'm fat and happy.

lilgina64 · January 2010

I confess that I might kill my little sister.
She's all of a sudden smoking a lot more pot, drinking a ton, and dabbling in god knows what else. When I tried gently to ask her whats up, she was not having it saying how our father is dying and she has every right to fukc up her life. She begged us to find a therapist, when we found one that insurance covered, she said "meh, its too much work, i'll be fine without it".

I'm really sick and tired of being the strong one. He's my father too, mom doesn't lean on you nearly as much as she does me, my husband is out of a job more or less, and i'm bombarded at work because they fired someone before the busiest time of the year. SH*T happens. I don't get to throw myself a pity party and exhibit self destructive behavior. Why do you get a free pass? Oh that's right, cuz you're the baby and you're artsy. sweet. so fair.

I also went through a lot of trouble to plan a big 21st birthday for her next month. Then she tells me her artsy friends dont like "those bro bars" so we can't go there. Well dear, there are only 3 bars in the area you want to go to, so you better pick another area. I also will not be paying for a single drink that night because you got a really awesome bday gift from me, and I'm broke as a joke. And you're friends better not expect me to pay for anything either. I'll slap the little stoners.

mwhitson14 · January 2010

I confess I wish we had eloped. I'm not happy with the wedding, and I hate being a budget bride. Even after two years of being engaged I still can't have the things I really want, and my mom blasted me for spending $50 on programs.

rhodesign · January 2010

Night_Sprite--We watched almost an entire seaon of Buffy in a day, and did the same with Angel. I personally see no problem with that whatsoever!

My confession--I think I actually want a kid sooner than I say I do. Still not right now, and probably not even this year (we need a bigger house first) but if we were to get one by the end of the year, I just might want to try. It still scares me, though, because of my work--I know I'd worry myself to death the whole time.

squirrly · January 2010

I have little to no motivation to do my job. I worked my ass off for 15 months on a project that got delayed from September until now, and I kinda don't care anymore. And, I REALLY don't care that there are about 72 other projects stacked up after that one. I am unable to motivate myself. This is BAD.
