Hooray, it's Thursday!!

Let's hear your confessions and vents, ladies!!

cnf2013 · August 2012

C: I took today off work with the intention of going to Syracuse early. We aren't going until later this afternoon.

V: We're delaying going because FI wants to take advantage of me being home all day with him to finish up decking and stairs on the deck. Be done already, you stupid thing.

emilyb213 · August 2012

Confession: We have another wedding to go to this Saturday and neither of us particularly want to go. It's the third one we've been invited to over the last six weeks. Between all of these weddings, planning our own, and my sister's wedding in October, we've both got a touch of wedding fatigue, I think.

Vent: The starter and one of the CV joints on my fiance's Jeep are going bad. My car has a CV joint that needs replaced and the inspection and registration are due next month. Both of our cars are going to need tires soon. Being an adult is freaking expensive.

C: I think I've been a little too lax about my school work and will unfotunately be hugely inundated come Aug 28th when I get back to school from my internship.

V: Nothing really, more of whine, Im tired lol.

bar10521 · August 2012

Confession: I think I might have bitten off a bit more than I can chew school wise. I’m taking 2 classes next semester but one I’ve already tried and had to withdraw because I was failing. So now I’m retaking that plus another class and I signed up for a class through work to get a training certificate that will look good on my resume but honestly is below my pay grade (not to sound pompous but it’s true). There will be about a month’s overlap between my regular classes and my certificate classes and final. I was told the other day that the certificate test is made for people to pass and my company has never had anyone fail it before. I think it may just be a bit much especially when I’m so worried about my biochemistry class.

Vent: I’m currently in a contractor (temp) position and recently got an extension, which is awesome, but I also applied for a full time position in my department and had a meeting yesterday to let me know I didn’t get it. Overall it was a good meeting because I’m still a good candidate should a lower level position come up but it’s frustrating to work so hard and be out of school for 3 years and not get hired into a full time position, only temp jobs.

Confession: I haven't worked out for a week and had nothing to drink yesterday except soda. I'm never going to lose weight this way.

Vent: Oh my mother. She's done so much for me. She's been working really hard to bouquets and helping me with the wedding. However, I feel like I can never tell her about things I want to do. I was TRYING to tell her about all my ideas for the bridal suite. She lets me get in about three words before taking over the conversation, going off on some tangent, and repeating herself three or four times. It takes her half an hour to say what should take about two minutes. I try to give my input on what she's talking about, and she repeatedly cuts me off. If I say anything, she'll get all offended and chew me out for it. I wish she would talk WITH me instead of TO me.

sparkles776 · August 2012

Confession: I quit my job today. I have worked there for almost 9 years. My job was a huge PITA and I havent been happy there for a really long time, I was just waiting for the right opportunity to come along. I work a lot of holidays, nights and weekends. I left it for a job where I work one weekend a month no holidays and no nights. Even though the new job is a huge improvement, I am still a little sad just because I dont like to let other people down or leave them in a bind. They were trying to get me to stay 3 more weeks instead of 2 and I had to be firm and stand my ground. I cried like a baby when I got to my car.

Today was supposed to be a nice relaxing day for me and the FI. We are leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning, we always take the day off before vacation to clean the house, pack, take the dog to the kennel. I am going into the new job for a few hours to be shown around. I am on emotional overload today and really want a beer or a glass of wine and it is 10:23 in the morning, I cant justify having one before going in to tour my new workplace, but if I wasnt, I would definitely be drinking right now.

anastassiiat · August 2012

Confession: I'm probably the only adult out there who still gets super excited about her birthday. lol I"ve been celebrating for two days already, with FI's family, with my co-workers and with FI and our daughter. Still to come are my family and a weekend trip for just FI and I.

Vent: OK, this might be a long one. So we went to FI's aunt's house on his mom's side for dinner Tuesday night, FI got there a bit before me and when I came in they were talking wedding stuff. So right of the bet FI tells me - "You know my mom gets to write a list of who she wants to invite, right?". With his mom and his aunt in the room! I kind of smiled and nodded, but when we got a moment along later I told him that yes, she does get to invite some people, but it would have been nice if we could discuss it in private first, because my parents are paying, and his family alone is at least 30 people whereas mine is only 10 (well, there are more but they are overseas and due to expensive flight only 10 are likely to make it), so it would be rude towards my parents to invite a bunch of his mom's friends on top of that (and sorry if I sound like a b!tch saying that). Turns out his mom was only talking about 3 of her girlfriends. OK, great. I tell her that it would be nice to get their names and their SO's names so we can add them to our guest list. And she says "oh no, we don't have to invite the SOs, they won't come anyways". *eye roll*

Then we start talking about inviting one of FI's cousins who he used to be close to but doesn't hang out with that much anymore. And FI's family goes - "oh, you know he always RSVPs and never shows up, so be sure to tell him that he'll have to pay you the price of his and his husband's dinner if that happens". Really??? And I know they weren't really joking, either.

Now, I know FI would never do anything like that, and I also love his family dearly, but sometimes they just have no filter and I have no idea how to react! Again, sorry if I sound like a b!tch and sorry it was so long! /rant

sopraffina · August 2012

Vent: I can't decide which florist to choose. One is reeeally cheap (but beautiful) but doesn't like a lot of my choices (she says it's too hard to get good garden roses).

The other one seems to be able to do exactly what I want and specializes in garden roses, but is about $700 more. I was willing to pay the price before, but now that low estimate is really tempting.

Confession: My car has been making this horrible squeaking noise occasionally when I turn. I need to get it looked at, but I've been putting it off.

Berry327 · August 2012

Confession: One of my friends keeps calling to hang out this week, but I keep putting it off. She's a bit of a drama queen, and I'm just not in the mood for her. :-\

Vent: I brought my wedding shoes over to my mom's house last night to show her and my grandmother, and they don't like them because they are blue. I've always wanted bold blue shoes as my something blue, plus my girls are wearing that exact shade of blue with silver shoes, so I think it really pulls the whole group together. For crying out loud my dress is super long and I doubt many people are going to be looking at my shoes anyway. The heel isn't big, they have beading that matches my dress, and I think they look fabulous. Sigh.

ashbeth06 · August 2012

C: I really have been sucking at the watching what I eat and exercising this week. I know I'm on "vacation" but I'd rather stay in bed and watch olympics all day. I think this is how I'm coping with both parents' health in limbo. As I type my dad's having a stress test. I emailed my boss, who is also on vacation, that I'd like to push my start date back a week so we'll see. I may just have to call her tomorrow.

V- I really don't have much to vent about this week other than I miss my fiance. I haven't seen him in a week. Being back and Mom and Dad's sucks that we're apart again. I get to see him Saturday though! I may have a vent if I can't push my start date back or get a few days off next week. I want to be there for emotional support for my mom. I feel better seeing in person that she's okay.

belle7fl · August 2012

Confession: I have two... First, I just realized that I can get on TK at work now so even though I have so many deadlines coming up I can't stop looking at wedding stuff. Two... I have been such a major b!tch lately. I've been so stressed and unfortunately I've been taking it out on my FI. Vent: my family drama is killing me, I'm so stressed at work, which is probably why I've been procrastinating so much. I feel like I'm planning he entire wedding by myself. I know everyone else shouldn't be as excited as I am but the plan was for my mother to take the trip out here to help me and every time I talk to her we fight about what's going on with my grandfathers girlfriend. FI got into a fight last night and he never came to bed now he's staying at his cousins so we can get some space to clear our heads. We both have way too much going on even my therapist wants to see us ASAP because he's nervous for us. I'm scared, I know we love each other and will work through it but I hate even the thought of having the slightest problem in our relationship. We've never even fought in the three and a half years but in the last few months it's been so bad.

Mikesgal419 · August 2012

C: all 5 of my kids are going to my ex's house for 2 weeks. On one side I am going to miss them, on the other side, it will be nice to be able to do what I want and not have to break up fights and arguments and the such. I feel guilty that I am looking forward to some me time.

V: So 2 weeks, no kids and FI has a ton of work to do for one class that he is taking. he flat out told me that he has no clue how he's going to get to see me in the next two weeks. I have no money to go anywhere (saving to move), and I DO NOT want to be stuck home for 2 weeks with cleaning and organzing. Also my ex has been a super jerk and honestly, I just want to punch him in the face". UGH!!!
