[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : Thank you - I appreciate that. I just need to remind myself that we'll get married when we get married - it'll happen. The picturing something in my head, therefore it must be that way thing...it's genetic, I think. I'm only 31, but I'm already turning into my mother. Heh.

It can be frustrating when things aren't going your way and you really have no control over it- it's the one thing that I've always struggled with in life. But as long as you remember that the end point is being married to your FI, then it's easier to keep things in perspective. I do hope that you can get the October '11 wedding you want, though.

And I get the turning into your mother thing. I turned into her when I was about 20. Thank goodness FI likes her, since he's marrying a younger version.

530 is my favorite time of the day.

Herbert's alarm goes off at 5:30. I hate it. A LOT.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · August 2010

I used to get up at 5:15 in high school.

Now the alarm goes off at 6:30, but I get up around 6:40 and leave the house at 7:40. I've tried getting up earlier to work out in the morning and that lasts for about 2 days, max.

Some days I think I may have died and gone to hell when my alarm goes off. H doesn't understand why I think 9 is sleeping in on the weekends.

AmoroAgain · August 2010

I don't know what would happen if I turned into my mother.

kikibaby · August 2010

I used to have a job where I had to be at work at 5 am... 4 am on Sundays. Yeah, that was pretty awesome.

katiewhompus · August 2010

Scott's alarm goes off between 1:30am and 3:30am depending on his schedule. During the school year mine goes off at 5:30am. When I worked at PetSmart I had to get up at 4:30am every day. It made me very cranky at work lol.

Stackeye210 · August 2010

I wake up @5. On the weekends I wake up at 6:45........not on purpose, just my personal alarm clock in my head telling me it's that time. I hate it.

My mom is insane.

I think I'm turning into her some days.

temerityjane · August 2010

Mentioning something doesn't automatically make it drama. Seriously, the word drama is entirely overused on the Internet.

mandysmear · August 2010

I have to set my alarm at 5 just to hear it by 6.

Yeah, my herbert hates it too moose. He gets mad. His alternative is to sleep in the spare room. He shuts up quick. I have a job, a responsibility. I have to set my alarm at 5 in order to wake up by 6.

It used to be worse. I used to set my alarm 2-2.5 hours before I had to get up. I had to put a kybosh on that because I am not setting my alarm at 4am. Fuuck that. I have slept in at least 10 times since we moved in. The beauty is I am never late for work. I sleep in for my ride with my sister. When I ride with her I am 45 minutes to an hour early.

So, I've slept in and then H will drive me to work (god, i'm spoiled) and then I hitch a ride home with my sister.

#1. I go on both boards, because I still have no idea what really happened to cause a split, and I really don't care. But, whenever I come to E someone is talking about the split. SB, not so much. Maybe that's a big fat coincidence, but I feel like I'm going out to lunch with that friend who won't stfu about her ex.

#2. To the PP who said she wasn't sad when he grandmother passed away. I can relate, and I hereby validate you. My grandmother passed away after suffering from alzheimers for about 6 years. In my mind, she had left us a long time ago.

#3. Actual confession:

I haven't had this little money in checking & savings since I was in my early twenties. I feel like I fucked up somewhere in this past year financially and I'm having a really hard time fixing it. I keep saying "I" because Pete wants nothing to do with managing our finances. He has me do it because I'm good at it. Ha! Taught him a lesson, didn't I?

(Oh, and I know there's some major side eying happening right now, because we just had a baby and we should be more financially prepared. Just FYI, I'm freaking over liquid assets, on paper we're golden. If something serious happened I could liquidate some investments and we'd be fine.)

BUT, I don't want to do that to dig ourselves out of this hole. I'm frantically trying to pay off all the credit cards we ran up rehabbing the kitchen, and the guest room, and doing random other shiit around our 112 year old money pit (next house will be a new construction ranch, fvck character, I can buy new character).

I can't remember the last time I had to think twice about buying a cup of coffee, and we're there right now. Maybe I'm being to aggressive about paying off these credit cards (ok, CLEARLY I'm being too aggressive), but I hate having CC debt. I want it gone asap. But, to do that it's draining all our cash. I feel like a giant financial fail right now and it sucks.

katiewhompus · August 2010

Confession, no one has rvps'd yes to my housewarming party and I'm starting to think it's going to just be me, Scott, my parents, and his sister at the party.

And omg it's raining! Finally!!

kikibaby · August 2010

I'm very confused by people thinking we're ALWAYS talking about SB. I brought it up today, but I don't remember it being talked about in a very long time before that. And I only brought it up to say I missed some of the posters that don't come to E anymore.

Anyhoo, X is getting so big, lp! He's freaking adorable.

Posted by rubyredlucy[/QUOTE] I've only realized in the past few years that I have control freak tendencies; I think it's a function of having such little control when I was young (Spina Bifida - lots of major surgery) and the fact that I've never had/never will have as much control over my own body as I want. It's something I've been gradually letting go of.

AmoroAgain · August 2010

I want to shoot myself in the head everytime someone jumps all over the E/SB thing. IDON'TCARESTOPTALKINGABOUTIT. And that includes people who take one comment and keep going with it. Jesus.

L, Xavier is ridiculously cute.

Yeah. This.

Funny the impressions we get, isn't it. My impression is every thread on SB I've read comes around to E in some way. ::Shrug:: I suppose we all see what we want to see.

kikibaby · August 2010

I'm kind of sorry I mentioned those 2 letters. Which I won't mention again.

Frankly, sleeping past 6:30 is "sleeping in" for me. I feel positively lazy if I'm still in bed after 8am.

Again, you're in my head. I was laughing to myself that people that post on SB think we talk about it all the time, and we think they do. Maybe we all have over-inflated sense of importance?

Ha. It's rather likely, yep.

baystateapple · August 2010

Another confession: I'm so thankful that it's raining, because I was supposed to go for a walk with a former coworker, and now that won't be happening. I love her, but I've had a migraine since 12, and I didn't want to cancel on her like a jerk.

mandysmear · August 2010

Kiki, I would have felt the same way you did though. Totally ignored.

georgia_bride09 · August 2010

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : Moose, I'll make a big confession - my highest weight was somewhere around 260. I've often thought that if I had nipped this shiit in the bud when I was around 200 pounds it would have been a hell of a lot easier. Now i'm losing weight, and I'm happy, but sometimes I'll think, "Gee, remember a few years ago when I was at this weight and depressed about being fat? And then I went and gained another 25 pounds?" Yeah.
Posted by msmerymac[/QUOTE]

I feel like this now. The months leading up to the wedding, I felt blobby as hell, and even right after that when I saw my pictures I didn't like them. But looking at them now, I was much skinnier then than I am now. Ugh. But I'm turning it around slowly, I guess.

Wayyyyy back when I was married before, I got up to 222 lbs and thought I was HUGE (ok, I was). I got down to 200 and celebrations happened. Then I got divorced.

Yeah.

Screw you people who think divorce is the easy way out. Screw. You.

I actually just had a nice discussion with cew about it. It was just kind of a misunderstanding.

I certainly don't feel as ignored as I do on friggin TB. Those bastards. That's what TB really stands for.
