B&M Monday

JessAndColton · December 2009

At work...

I've been here since 4:45.

Also, since Friday night. I have randomly been throwing up. Some meals I can keep down and some I can't. I seriously better get over this before Christmas.

I tried Versa and I didn't like it. My hands (yes I used Barrier Cream and lots of it) look like crap. My feet and stomach do as well. My arms, legs and face look alright though.

I hate having things to B&M about because my life really isn't that bad.

danielle0789 · December 2009

Everybody at work has noticed that I've gained weight since Thanksgiving. They all keep telling me I need to stop eating, but I CANT! When I'm stressed I eat alot. When I'm bored I eat alot. Theres no win out of this.

BanannaP · December 2009

I'm feeling very left out of Christmas this year. I didn't get to help put up the tree or decorate the house or bake cookies. My parents had my cousin and her family over for dinner last night and I wasn't there. The last couple of years I've hosted Christmas Eve and I don't get to do that. Also, normally on Christmas morning I make french toast and FI and I exchange gifts just us, and we don't get to do that. And now FSIL wants us to come over for Christmas morning and the meal, so I don't get to help my mom cook. I am very thankful that I at least get to be with my family for Christmas, but I'm not getting to do any of the things that make it feel like Christmas for me.

Sorry for the long vent and the grinchy attitude, but I somehow lost my Christmas spirit yesterday. Hopefully I can get it back my Wednesday.

BanannaP · December 2009

Oh, and Jess, I'm sorry you don't feel well! Stomach issues are the worst!

shortgirltx · December 2009

I hit my big toe on something and I'm missing part of my nail. Usually I can tolerate physical pain very well but this hurts like a mofo.

The IL's will be here next week

I'm not really complaining or B&Ming here but we weren't included on how Christmas gifts will be handled with FI's family this year. It's not about the gifts but the fact that we've (FI mainly) been excluded from any discussion and I'm not surprised.

Mariah09202008 · December 2009

ummm....Jess, I'm sure you hate this question...but could you be pregnant?

My B&M: This month I have not been able to control my spending habits. I want everything. And I want to buy everyone presents. I went out shopping with my mom last night and had the intentions of spending less than $100. I spent $300. Steve's making me take pretty much everything back. And I loved everything I bought, so I'm mad at him for making me take it back. And yesterday was our 4 year dating anniversary, so when I came home from shopping and he got mad at me for spending all that money, I didn't feel like being very "lovey". So our 4 year anniversary sucked.

JessAndColton · December 2009

Awh, Mariah. I am so sorry that sucks. And no, I'm not pregnant. Everytime I get sick, people say that, but I just got off my time of the month and I am highly doubtful that it happened since then. haha. I have some sort of bug or something.

banana. I would be grumpy too if I felt left out. sorry.

Shortgirl. I totally feel ya. I think that and papercuts are the most annoying pains. Grrr.

Tiffany618 · December 2009

I think I'm in double jeopardy, I can't stop eating or spending!

There has been food (mostly junk) shoved in my face all month, and I was already doing poorly since it got cold. I go to the gym like twice a week now instead of five. Even though I've done fairly well with gifts this year, I've still accumulated some debt that I'm going to have to pull out of savings to cover. Neither of those things is good with a wedding in 5 months. Boo.

Oh well, after the first of the year it is buckle down time. My life will consist of lean meat and veggies, the gym, and not spending a dime. Awesome happy new year to me!

Oh, and Good Morning everyone!!

untsing · December 2009

I'm kind of annoyed that I asked for this whole week off and my boss asked me to just come in on MONDAY. That's ridiculous. I am probably gonna sit here and on Facebook all day because there is NOBODY on campus.

BUT at least I got both volumes of the GLEE soundtrack at my mom's family Christmas last night! Wooooooooo hoo!

desireedp · December 2009

I'm kind of annoyed that my parents got fi and I a joint gift and got fi his own gift but I didn't get a separate gift...

Fi wanted a new mattress since I'm moving Jan 1st (we don't currently live together until the wedding). He says the full that I have is too small and I'm a bed hog so he wants a queen. My parents gave us cash for the new mattress as a joint gift.

My parents also got fi a personalized Eagles Jersey that he absolutely loves.

I'm just feeilng a bit shunned, I didn't care about a new bed (being a bed hog doesnt bother me lol). I'm blaming this on the only child syndrome, I'm used to being the one spoiled lol

Tiffany618 · December 2009

Maybe this is heartless of me, but Kidd Kraddick in the Morning is supposed to make me happy on my way to work.... not make me cry like a baby.

I LOVE the good things they are doing, but I've cried on the way to work every day for the past 2 weeks and I've had enough!!

llc2011 · December 2009

I'm very jealous of everyone that is off this week

I have to work till Thursday afternoon. Hopefully I'll get off early since it's Christmas Eve.

danielle0789 · December 2009

Desiree, I totally get the only child syndrome! I'm an only child, and now I have 5 BILs and SILs.

I dont mind recieving a joint gift for DH and I, but sometimes its nice to get something of your own, you know? My SIL asked me the other day what I wanted: An Outback Steakhouse gift card, or something for myself? And I told her she knows what I like, and I know I'll be happy with whatever it is.

My other B&M: They're still breaking up concrete outside our apartment, and its driving me insane!! Fix the pipes already!!

BanannaP · December 2009

Lauren, I'm here through Wednesday. Since I haven't been here that long, I don't have that many vacation days and I didn't want to use too many in case I have another interview.

But! Only 50 hours till I start heading to the airport, and 55 till I land in Dallas!!

amberpro · December 2009

I'm feeling very torn this Christmas and there is nothing I can do about it. FBILs (both) and wives are coming in Christmas night. Then FI's family Christmas is on Sat. That means I can't travel to be with my family on Christmas. My mom is stressing because my Grandma isn't doing well, so she's going there instead of staying with us as originally planned. She's asked if we would travel and let FI's family stay at our house alone, but they are coming up to spend extra time with FI, so that would defeat the purpose. I'm kind of looking forward to a nice Christmas with FI (we've never been alone Christmas morning) but I have also never been without my mom on Christmas. And I know it's tearing up my mom and she's making me feel really guilty. I feel guilty for looking forward to a quiet Christmas, even. AND as I said before, my grandma is really not doing well. Sigh. There is nothing I can do to change the circumstances, but the guilt is putting a damper on my Christmas spirit.

AND...
Stomach bugs suck, Jess. I hate that feeling and I hope you get better before Christmas.

Danielle- I find it really rude that people are pointing out your weight gain. I'd punch someone (then go cry in the bathroom).

Tiffany- I love what Kidd Kraddick is doing, but I change the station whenever they do Kissmas wishes. They're depressing.

sorry so long!

cherrrylll · December 2009

I suffered from food poisoning all freakin' weekend. It was absolutely miserable and my stomache still doesn't feel right today. Ugh.

I put way too much work on my plate this holiday season and I'm regretting it. It'll be nice to make extra money, but I haven't been able to do my Christmas shopping or just slow down and enjoy anything. Oh wells.

amb0237 · December 2009

So I called Texas Star Bakery and found out they are ONLY open for consultations M-Th 9-4PM. WTF?! How can they only be open those times for new customers? People do work! So I am off work next week and called them back to make an appointment and they are closed!

I am now back at square one trying to find a new bakery for our wedding. I feel like I was making good progress and now I am taking a few steps back. I really can't wait until April when all of this is over.

danielle0789 · December 2009

Thanks Amber. If they werent my bosses, I would punch them in the face. Stephen knows I've been dealing with my weight gain, and he tries to make it better, but sometimes it doesnt work. Oh yeah, did I mention we're having a big lunch today? Our District Manager is treating us. Here comes another 5 pounds that they'll say something about.

Amber, I hope everything works out. I would hate to be in your position right now. Just remember you'll have 90 more Christmases with your FI/DH. Make time for a date night! Stephen and I are going to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks on Christmas night. We're gonna make it a tradition. Wanna double??

Cherrrylll-$$$$$$$$$$$$

cherrrylll · December 2009

Jess- The first time I did Versa my hands looked awful. The lady showed me to put on this small amount lotion...of course she was completely brown, so I should've known better. The next time I used loads of the lotion and then scrubbed my palms down with the wet wipes and it turned out much better.

juliebug1997 · December 2009

We spent last Christmas with Bill's family in Baton Rouge and it was the worst. I cried Christmas Eve since I wasn't at mass with my family. Then, Christmas morning, we start opening presents. Bill got some really nice gifts from his parents. The two gifts that I got from his parents also had his name on them. There was a cookbook that looked used and two sets of coasters. One of them had fleur de lis on them and an R on the others. I didn't mind the R but we weren't decorating our house in French Louisiana. It made me feel really unwelcome in their lives.

I'm with you, Mariah. I can't stop spending money. Part of it is because I want to give my brother enough clothes to make it more than two days and then I didn't spend as much money on my dad's birthday present as I did my mom's. So I'm trying to make up the difference. Also, I don't know how much Bill spent on my presents (it's rude to ask) so I'm not sure if I need to catch up or not.

juliebug1997 · December 2009

Oh, and PS: Bill's dad told him it was ridiculous that we should rent a car and that he would be at the airport on Saturday to pick us up. If we don't have a rent car, I don't think I'm going to go to Baton Rouge. It might be the only way I can keep my sanity and from having to eat frozen lunchmeat. I can't do that anymore.

amber+richard05 · December 2009

This weekend wasn't like I thought it was going to be. Saturday I layed in bed all day because I got the stomach bug that is going around and could not keep anything down. Which put us even more behind finding outfits for our engagements.

Sunday even though I was feeling my best we still got up early to go outfit shopping and actually had luck. Then we both forgot that a part of 360 was closed down so we got stuck in traffic on our way to meet our photographer, but atleast I was feeling a little better by then.

I woke up again super early this morning and got sick again. This time I am pretty sure it is my acid reflux because I have heart burn like a mofo. So hopefully I can get that back undercontrol, it takes everything outta me.

Today we are going to try and finish our X-mas shopping then I go back to work for 3 days and then off for 5. YAY for holidays.

SarahandAlex2010 · December 2009

I still need to finish my Christmas shopping and I cant wait until 430!!!! After today I will start my vacation!!

I love the holidays! We get so much free food and snacks all day! Except gosh why do I have to eat and try everything!!!!!

BanannaP · December 2009

I just noticed that nobody has mentioned Brittany Murphy - how sad is that? 32 years old, so scary!

tnickel06 · December 2009

nothing really to B&M about since this weekend was great!

Sorry for everybody else B&Ms!

Rachee7 · December 2009

Poor Jess

I hope you get to feeling better very soon.

I am breaking out like I just hit puberty. It's terrible. I've never had an issue with my skin until recently. I have a mountain range on my chin. Ugh.

We have Christmas with my ILs tonight and I don't want to go. I'm really tired and grumpy and frankly, I'm still pissed at them. This should make for an interesting evening.

My new job is stressing me out.

I have to work Christmas Eve. I am hoping we get to go home early but I am jealous of [& happy for] everyone who doesn't even have to come in.

32 is so young. Looking back at all the celebrities that have died lately, drugs seem to be involved in some form. That was the rumor yesterday, now they are saying she was sick.

JustinandLindsay2009 · December 2009

I can identify with all of those who are gaining weight because of all the junk around work to eat lately! I can't wait for bootcamp to start on the 4th so I can wear my skinny jeans again.

My B&M is that I am starting to get some baby fever and we are just no where ready for that responsibility and financially we have a long way to go before we are to the point I want to be at in order to have kids....I hope this goes away soon!!!

almoyo · December 2009

I'm with you guys on the spending. I just checked my personal bank account and was shocked at how much I've spent on my husband! And mostly clothes, at that! Now that we're married, and I have a say in what he wears (to some extent), I'm trying to get rid of the old holey things and replace them with new, unholey things-- which gets expensive!

tnickel06 · December 2009

I'm tired of this insurance business crap. It's been a month since my accident and we think they are ignoring us because they don't want to pay. We've called and left messages and emails and nada.

I hope Bill follows through with renting a car. The dad can always show up...it just doesn't mean that he will actually be the one to get you to their house :]
