Klyn1983 · April 2012

Well ladies, the time has come again to air out any confessions/vents you may have...let's hear 'em!

Klyn1983 · April 2012

Confession: I had gotten quite lazy with my hair lately. When running to class I would just throw it up in a ponytail or a messy bun. Didn't care about it at all. Well, I realized that I was starting to feel depressed and unattractive. For the past few days, I have taken the time to curl my hair and I feel AMAZING. I should have done this months ago! FI said that I have been smiling more too. I realized that those 30 minutes are well worth waking up a little earlier.

Vent: While at the store the other day, a woman came up to me. Grabbed my purse and exclaimed "Is this real?!" And opened it up. Yes, you read that correctly. A strange woman walked over to me, grabbed my purse from the shopping cart and started rifling through it!!! o.O What in the world is wrong with people?! I snatched it back, said "Yes it is. Maybe you thought you could find your manners in my purse, but I doubt you have any." I wanted to smack her.

SugarFoote · April 2012

Klyn, I would've smacked her.

Confession and Vent: I really, really don't like my sister. I actually don't even think of her as a sister. She's just a person that my parents produced. To be honest, the majority of the time, she's a bitch. She's still planning on getting pregnant and being due around the time of my wedding, because she thinks it "would be funny". We work together, unfortunately, and I overheard her telling co-workers about how she doesn't even really want to be in this wedding. And how we weren't even together a year when we got engaged and that I "must have thought I was pregnant"....ummm...no. Speaking of being prego, I had to go to the dermatologist a couple weeks ago *I think I may have already shared this bit of info* Keep in mind this is the same Dr. office that I work for. When the Dr. came in she asked me if I was sexually active...my answer was "what do you consider active? Like all the time? No. Do we? sometimes..." So apparently she put a note of that in my chart...A NOTE THAT MY SISTER WENT AND FRIGGIN READ! She doesn't even work for that specific Dr. She works for the gastro dr. So she has deliberately went and found my chart and starting reading all my info. She called me a skank yesterday....Sister or not, nobody calls me a skant...She's the one I that when I was in like 8th grade, I caught screwing some guy. If anyone is a skank it's her.
I'm just so over it. There is no sense in treating another person the way she treats me and everyone else.
I did tell her last night, that if she didn't want to be in the wedding, it was no big deal. So I think I'm probably going to be short a BM before all this is over with...and I'm sooo ready for it to be over.

Sorry for the longness...

sparkles776 · April 2012

Confession: I called into work sick yesterday because I am on my period and had absolutely no desire to go to work, I happily layed on the couch most of the day. so lame, but I dont care.

Vent: My FI works midnights and is a golf fanatic. So sometimes when he gets off work at 7am, he sleeps for a couple hours and wake up to go play golf with his friends. I have 2 problems with this: 1. he doesnt really ever wake up that early to hang out with me. 2. Later in the day after he has already played golf, he is crabby from getting almost no sleep and usually passes out on the couch for the rest of the night. So I really dont get to spend any good time with him and it makes me sad that he would rather spend his off days golfing and napping then hanging out with me occassionally

emilyb213 · April 2012

Confession: Our engagement pictures are next month, so a couple weeks ago, I started to pay a little more attention to what I was eating. Then Easter happened, and I totally fell off the wagon. This past weekend, I did better, and then yesterday, it all went down the drain again. My managers ordered pizza for lunch and brought in cookies and stuff, so I had pizza & cookies for lunch, then (despite the fact that I ate dinner already), my fiance came home with Taco Bell, so I sat there and picked at his stuff, and then I had some chips and cheese dip. And Easter candy. Oops.

Vent: One of my sisters and her fiance are getting ready to buy a house. I bought a house last fall and I worked in the mortgage department of my company for a while, so she keeps calling and asking for my advice on the whole process. She can be naive and tends to be blindly optimistic, so whenever I give her a more realistic answer than what she wants to hear, she doesn't take it very well. When I talked to her the other night, I told her I wasn't answering any more questions about the home-buying process, unless she really wanted to hear the answer. She said she wanted to know....fast forward through a couple of questions, and she's freaking out and hanging up on me. It's so frustrating...don't call and ask me stuff if you're just going to flip out!!

lauraprevost · April 2012

Confession: I have an exam in an hour and instead of studying for it right now I'm facebooking, Pinterest-ing and Knotting....

Oh well! This exam is the only thing that stands between me and my last summer as a nursing student!

Vent: FI's sister is pregnant, she was 39 weeks as of yesterday. She has been dilated to 2 for a few days now and I just want the baby to get here already! haha Not quite a "vent" but the baby isn't listening to Aunt Laura when I say to come out already! I cannot wait to see this little one and spoil it to death.

@Klyn - My goal this summer is to do my hair every day. I normally have it super short (chin length) but I have been growing it out since we got engaged last May and it is now like 3-4 inches below my collar bone. When it was short I always had it done but now I'm just too lazy and it's always in a bun/ponytail.

bar10521 · April 2012

Sugar, I'm pretty sure what your sister did was illegal and goes against HIPAA. I used to work in a hospital and we were only allowed to check the patient record we were working on or our own if we went into anyone else's record (including family) we could have been fired for violating HIPAA.

Confession: I made an N*SYNC station on Pandora and love to listen to it while I'm driving. I sing along loudly and off key and also dance a little, people must think I'm nuts!

Vent: FI recently got a motorcycle and now that the weather is above 50 degrees he's been taking it to work which is fine but it means that I do the drop off and pick up for doggie daycare. Yes I freely admit that I am that person who takes my dog to daycare. But it's great she runs for 8-9 hours and I get a sleepy puppy so it's win-win! Anyways now that FI has the bike he doesn't do pick up or drop off which isn't a big deal but he also hasn't been walking her or taking her to the dog park. I'm sick of feeling like I'm the only one responsible for OUR dog. I love her but I'd like a break too!

emilyb213 · April 2012

Sugar, I'm working on a HIPAA audit at work right now, and what your sister did is definitely a violation of the law.

Klyn1983 · April 2012

Sugar-No offense but your sister sounds like a total B*tch. From everything you have told us, I don't know how you put up with her. And what she did should get her fired. Sister or not, she had zero right to look at your case file. Who knows what other files she is taking a peek at just because she knows them! You really should speak to your supervisor about this and tell them that you are uncomfortable about the fact that she was able to read your file and that she needs to be held accountable.

kellyeliz · April 2012

Sugar I was also going to tell you that what your sister did is a HIPPA violation and against the law!

Confession: Since the weather has been nice I really don't want to have anything to do with work and really wish I could be a "housewife". I grew up spending my summers on the beach and wouldn't mind doing that for the rest of my life!

Vent: FI is invited to one of his best friend's wedding this June, I on the otherhand am not! I get the whole "new" etiquette thing saying you don't have to invite people's SO but I would just never do that! We have been together 5 years, lived together for 4, and have been engaged since December. I just think that it is so rude to pick and choose who gets to go to your wedding. Also - my parent's through us an engagement party and his friend and fiance were invited to the party - they got that invitation BEFORE they sent out their wedding invitations. Honestly, I have mixed feelings between being bitter and glad that I don't have to go to the wedding. FI just sent back the response today and I was secretly hoping that he would decide he doesn't want to go. I have been really supportive saying he should go because they have been friends forever and it isn't my FI's fault I wasn't invited. Another one of the girlfriends wasn't invited either so we are going to utilize the very expensive hotel rooms and go across the street to a few of the restaurants and bars so at least that should be fun!

<div>Wow...I think that 'rule' should only apply to new relationships. If they just started dating in the last 2 months-then yes, you can politely request for him/her to come solo. But 5 years?! Come on!! It's horribly rude to invite one person and not their partner especially since you are engaged! </div><div>

SugarFoote · April 2012

I am very well aware that what she did was against HIPPA...and she knows it was against it too!! I just don't know if I want to say anything about it. I don't want her (or anyone else for that matter) to lose their job. What if by her losing her job, it caused them to lose their house or something? I would feel terrible about that even though she would have brought it upon herself.

Klyn1983 · April 2012

Well the mail just arrived and with it came another vent LOL

My sister(the same one who dropped out of my wedding party and who also had her wedding date set to the same date as mine a year later), just sent me a package requesting me to be a bridesmaid for her. Mind you, her wedding isn't until 2014.

I'm honestly speechless and I don't even know where to begin...or how to feel.

Klyn1983 · April 2012

MrsK, I LOVE that you guys take the time to have little picnics! How freaking cute! I think I'd have to threaten bodily harm to my FI to do something like that. But we live in AP so there isn't really anywhere to go.

Whoa. That face is terrifying.

SugarFoote · April 2012

Just to tap in on the lazy hair thing, I have naturally curly hair so I can just throw some mousse in it and go...and then the humidity kills it and causes it to turn into a massive frizzwad.

kellyeliz · April 2012

My hair is also naturally curly! I only wear it curly when I'm late or lazy and it has been curly all week! You can always tell when I took the time to get ready because my hair will be straight.

I feel you, and I would be pissed off too... But consider this: perhaps they are on a tight budget. I was just having this convo on the Etiquette board... Are you good friends with the bride or groom? I know it's frustrating, and I think you should ALWAYS add a plus-one if its in the budget, but maybe they're really tight on cash... =/

Posted by bananas1309[/QUOTE]

I understand some people are on tight budgets but in this incident that is not the case. The groom even felt bad stating they only invited people who are engaged... Which we are! Who really knows their reasoning - I just feel bad for my FI because it is one of his really good friends and now he doesn't even want to go. I have been nothing but supportive saying he should go. Honestly when it comes to my own wedding if I can't afford someone to bring their SO then I need to reevaluate my list because I don't want anyone to feel like I determined whether their relationship was serious or not. Weddings are about love nobody wants to sit at them alone or be the one without a date with a bunch of couples!

cnf2013 · April 2012

I feel late on my post, you've all had some much to say already!

Confession: FI got his new car yesterday. He got an awesome, super loaded brand new FJ Cruiser with voice activated blue tooth, ipod interface and special off roading wheels and shocks. I'm soooo jealous. I have a Rav4 and it rides uncomfortable, gets the same gas milage as his huge, new honking v8 (mines only v4) and has no cool features. I had a fully loaded Impreza before getting my Rav and now I'm super jealous and want a new car. But I still have over a left on my lease. My dad sells cars so he just gets me whatever is affordable whenever I need a new one. I can finally afford to buy something awesome now though, and I have to stew in jealously until next July when I can get something new.

Vent: When we bought our house in the fall, the foundation on the garage need to be repaired. Our garage (detached) sits on top of the hill in our backyard and the back wall of the foundation is exposed and had a structurally dangerous crack in it. The masons we hired to fix it were the worst! Under our garage floor, between the floor and the ground, was "fill" comprised of "dirt" and "bits" from the metal factory in town. Instead of leaving it under the garage, the pulled it out and used it to back fill against the back wall for added inward pressure to keep the wall from moving. Right, good choice, put a pile of dangerous black metal soot and crap in our backyard for our dog to get into... uh, hello, sh!theads. We covered it with dirt and grass seed, but recently (the last few days and this morning) the dog dug into it and got into the black stuff and ate some. I'm hoping he won't sick. I hate them so much. They did horrible work too. It looks like utter sh!t. You get what you pay for with repair people apparently.

ashlidie · April 2012

Sugar: Ouch your sister really has it out for you. But the best you can do is just let it go. She is probably jealous and trying to get some attention off you.

Klyn: Week of the sisters... that is quite strange, that she doesn't want to be in your but wants you in hers? I just see this turning out to be an issue that she will eventually hold over your head in the future and make it sound all innocent "at least you were one of my bridesmaids."

Confession: I definitely left work early today :-)

Vent: BECAUSE I had an exam this morning and I didn't sleep last night because I was up studying. I hate classes haha but I am officially done taking written, graded exams forever... For the rest of my PhD I just have to do my thesis requirements (which is still a lot and 3 years worth) but all my official classes will be done after one last presentation :-)

ashbeth06 · April 2012

My only confession kinda leads to a vent.
Confession: With all this staying in the budget problems, I kinda wish we would elope! With that said, we are having a mass with our wedding so.... Lol.

Finding a photographer in the budget we have set seems a feat. I want quality portraits, but I am not willing to spend a college tuition payment on it though! I'm hoping we have found a few people to consult and find the right photographer. We're looking at someone in the same town as our wedding that is still film only, but either way it's worth it because we're doing our tuxes through him. Then I made a floral consult appointment to know if my flower budget is going to work or not. Crossing my fingers I don't get even more frustrated.

Cute bouquet

iloveu4ever · April 2012

Confession: Don't have one

Vent: My friend/moh is thinking of getting pregnant this year or what not. She is also thinking of getting her vows renewed next July. Which I am not exactly happy about. But can't control everything. If she does want to renew her vows fine. She said that she might have to quit being in the wedding. Whatever. Plus I am also feeling left out from my friends. Would it be stupid not inviting them? I have few friends that I consider sisters. My friend Mariah, Jody, Amanda(the moh), and Theresa. Would it not be fair just inviting them?
