@Peaseblossom55 - I've been eating it dry, but out of a bowl with a spoon; partly so it looks more grown up (I eat breakfast at my desk) and partly because I don't want my fingers getting all sugary and sticky lol

For the most part, I'm with all of you on the gofundmes. I did make a donation to my stepdad's cousin, though. It was set up by her best friend to help out with medical and every day bills. Her husband is going through a very intense battle with leukemia and I just feel so awful for them.

***********

Confession: I am SO far off the be-healthy-train. It's bad. Real bad. I am aware of this, my expanding waist line reminds me often, but I can't seem to change it.

Confession: I'm dreaming of pizza for lunch.

II: (Or maybe this is rational?) I'm so sick of people who seem to have nothing but drama and bad things to talk about. It's everywhere and it's driving me nuts.

Confession: I don't know what 11/22/63 is and haven't heard of it yet.

@500days, I agree with the gofundme feelings. My editor keeps sending me links to them to do "feature stories." Really? It's people begging for money.

It's a book by Stephen King.

Confession: I thought it was Friday and almost started a weekend thread!!! Today is my Friday though.

Confession: I just want to lay on my couch tomorrow and do nothing.

ShallowSeas · July 2014

Confession: I'm nervous about my first dress fitting on Saturday. Why am I nervous about it?!

I find this totally rational.

I have a coworker who finds a way to complain about EVERYTHING. She just took a vacation to Mexico with her husband and three kids. It's was their first big family vacation in several years, and their first trip out of the country. Since returning from the vacation, all she can do is complain about it. Instead of being happy that they had great weather, it's "Ugh, I got such a bad sunburn." Instead of being happy with all the relaxation time, "Ugh, we spent so much time just sitting at the pool doing nothing." Instead of being happy about all the food options at the all-inclusive resort, it's "Ugh, I gained so much weight because of all the restaurants." I want to scream at her, BE HAPPY!

I had a friend-break-up because of this. Hadn't seen her in a few years since I moved away from home and she came to visit me. She complained non-stop about everything. I vividly remember her bitching one morning that the blueberries in her muffin were frozen not fresh. I lost my shit and when I drove her to the airport I said "thanks for coming, don't ever come back".

@severmilli12 cause DUH the dress fitting makes it real? I was sweating like a mo-fo at my dress fitting, so make sure you wear deodorant? lol. I don't know what was wrong with me or if this is a normal occurrence?

@swazzle @southernpeach89 I agree, you have too much drama and should just stay friends with us cool people who are the drama police (actually I just ignore drama 99.9% of the time)

Confession: I didn't realize how much I want this job until after the interview was over. I'm NOW going to obsess over it until Tuesday when I find out.

ETA: I can't spell.

[Deleted User] · July 2014

@Blue&White -I've done a pretty good job since H and I got engaged of ridding myself of the dramatic friends. They just keep on texting me and I'm like STOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blue & White · July 2014

@TwoDimes yea, after you sign the venue, the rest of the stuff makes more sense. I still don't care about the centerpieces but I knew I didn't want flowers. My H actually came up with our centerpiece ideas and then I expanded on them. They were simple but perfectly us. They also broke in the middle of the reception because apparently hot glue doesn't hold after heated by candles haha. Oops

ShallowSeas · July 2014

@blue I sweat every time I put my dress on $:\$ I don't know why because I'm not usually a sweaty person and I hate it

@TwoDimes I looooove that necklace!!

Blue & White · July 2014

@severmilli12 one of our good friends got pretty drunk at her wedding and was lifting her skirt off and asking people to fan cool air under it lol - so I mean, just don't do that and you'll be fine (she's still happily married so obviously, it didn't matter!)

Confession: I feel like a bad bride because I haven't had any strong opinions about wedding stuff yet. People keep asking about flowers and colors... and I don't know. I keep saying "I don't care" but that's not really it. I care, I just don't KNOW what I like/want. Help! How am I supposed to know what it is that I want? @lapeanut1018, your post on the What I Want thread made me sort of jealous. It made me sad that I'm not excited about flowers or centerpieces and what not. I want to be excited about that stuff too! But I just don't know what I like... there are too many options!

Maybe I'll figure it out after we sign the venue contract? I am hoping that having that nailed down will make me feel like Yes, THIS color scheme will work perfectly at that venue! Someone please tell me that's how it worked for them...

If it helps, I don't have ANY specific colors! I ended up choosing the BM dress color (pewter) based on the quote I got from my florist. In my initial consultations with her I said I like fall, but I don't want fall colors. I also told her I liked lots of texture and neutrals and showed her a couple pictures from magazines of cotton boll pods being used and dusty miller and stuff like and she created all of my wedding decor from my few disorganized thoughts.

IMO, I think nailing down the venue just helps everything else fall in to place. I didn't have any hard decisions made until after we had our venue. Having the venue gives you the physical setting for everything else and I think that makes the decision making that comes afterwards much easier!

eilis1228 I'm moving offices this weekend and your post made me think of this. I am currently adding lint to the sticker labels I got from facilities to label my office things for this move. It'll really annoy me if my keyboard/monitor/whatever has sticker glue on it.

Confession: My birthday is tomorrow and I hope people at work remember that.

UO: Sheer shirts are ugly. Put those away.

Confession: Last year no one at work knew it was my birthday. It made me so sad that I cried on my way home. My boss mentioned it a few days later and was just like 'oops, I normally acknowledge those'... she didn't even apologize for missing it! It's coming up next month and I'm going to make my husband give me a balloon or something so that people will know (yes, I'm that shallow).

II: One of my best friends told me that she and her BF have "picked their wedding date". They aren't engaged yet and they have picked a date approximately 2 1/2 years from now.

That is not irrational at all. That is obnoxious. I know she is a best friend of yours, but I would give her one of these.... eye roll animated GIF

eilis1228 · July 2014

@cu97tiger AWWW!

I can't believe they weren't more apologetic. Just don't be like my old boss last year on her birthday... she was supposed to have the day off but showed up anyway apparently. No one knew it was her birthday because we don't keep a calendar of those things. She kept walking around trying to obviously mention it was her birthday, and at one point I heard her in her office with the door wide open saying, "AW! GOOGLE REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY! I HAVE A SPECIAL DOODLE! WHAT A SPECIAL TOUCH ON MY BIRTHDAY!" It was ridiculous lol.

Peaseblossom55 · July 2014

I'm a Leo I like being recognized for things and especially birthdays. Co-worker's birthday is today I brought in homemade brownies with the marshmallow frosting ( what I made this past weekend). Since I do this for all of the co-workers in my group. I'm going to bring in some kind of treats for my birthday ( or the day after since it falls out on a Sunday) :-)

H doesn't have my new work address so I doubt there will be any deliveries.

eilis1228 · July 2014

Confession: I don't care how tired FI and I are tomorrow night, I'm gonna get laid. We have to christen the new place. Plus, I have to take my birth control out this weekend so I can have my period next week, so I need the sexins ASAP.

I've been having a similar struggle. I know the sort of colours and feel that I want, but I have no idea about anything more specific. I think this is why I haven't been researching florists or bakers or anything; I don't know what I want, so how am I supposed to explain it to a vendor? I have a good idea of what I DON'T want, but that's not as helpful lol

TBH, I spent some time this past week looking at pictures on TK and saving anything that I even remotely liked. I feel like that's the only way I'm going to get a better handle on what I DO like and might want, so maybe that would help? I'm finding it easy to go through pictures of, say, bouquets that are colours I like, and say "no no no no maybe no no that's pretty" etc. I can totally relate and understand how it's difficult to think about any of that without having an idea about colours though.

Editted because I actually do like grammar.

phira · July 2014

Irrational irritation: I thought I'd be so smart this time around and get an infusion on a Friday so I could sleep off the fatigue over the weekend and not miss work. Naturally, I felt pretty good most of the weekend ... and Tuesday got hit with fatigue. I'm fatigued again today and starting to get sick. Whyyyyyyy ugh.

Irrational irritation: I am a little upset that we feel too "honorable" to buy J's wedding ring elsewhere because we've previously been so enthusiastic about buying it from the same jeweler who made my engagement ring. It'll cost almost twice as much to get the same ring from them as it would from an Etsy seller or a big box store (three times the cost of the big box store).

Confession: I'm kind of glad that my sister is so upset with my brother over his relationship because she and I can bond by talking about it. Our relationship has been so strained that this is the first time in years we've talked regularly.

***STUCK IN BOX***
We went camping with one of BF's friends last weekend and on one of our hikes she went on and on about what her wedding will be like...she doesn't even have a boyfriend! She also will be a total bridezilla when she does get married. She said several lovely things like - "My sisters will be bridesmaids and I'll ask my best friend if I need someone else" (everyone loves to be a place holder!). "I don't know why I would need to greet everyone at my wedding, who cares if I see them?" (ugh...maybe because they came to celebrate with you, not worship you from afar!) I was hardcore side-eyeing her!

eilis1228 · July 2014

@bethsmiles and@lmcooper86 The BSC-ness isn't just in females. When I was talking to one of my older brothers about my engagement and ideas for the wedding, he kept referring back to his potential future wedding with the woman he has a crush on... not even dating her, just likes her.

@cu97tiger and @Peaseblossom55 I've told everyone I've had a meeting with in the last two days. FRIDAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. Because I totally need it to be remembered. Leos for life.

eilis1228 · July 2014

Confession: I'm on a conference call right now with a vendor, and this guy's voice is so soothing. He has one of those slightly Southern, rancher type voices that narrators sometimes have... I keep daydreaming/falling asleep because his voice is so soothing to me.

bethsmiles · July 2014

@eilis1228 - That is slightly creepy. This friend in particular is totally BSC. I've posted about her before on here. When she was dating her most recent ex (a huge jerk...that seems to be her type) she went totally insane was insistent they were going to get married this summer even though he wasn't even divorced yet and hadn't proposed. And the posted on Facebook asking people for money to fund her wedding, to a guy who hadn't even proposed yet!

eilis1228 · July 2014

@bethsmiles Holy shit! That's whole new level of BSC!

cu97tiger · July 2014

@tuarceatha and @peaseblossom55 - LFL!!

@eilis1228 - I so badly wanted to do that last year, but I knew it would be obnoxious. I had only been there five months, so it's not like people should have known, but we have a spreadsheet with all that info in there. My fellow managers could go in and see when my birthday was, like I do for them.

What do we think about bringing in treats on our own birthdays? I feel it's a little AW'ish. I guess I could say 'oh, these were left over from my birthday dinner last night' but then, hello, lying.

eilis1228 · July 2014

@cu97tiger It was completely obnoxious. If she had just been like, "Hey guys! It's my birthday!" we would have been much more open and receptive, you know?

I think bringing in treats is fun for your birthday! Just own it and be like, "Hey it's my birthday! I want to celebrate! Treats for everyone!"

justbeingme93 · July 2014

Confession:

I am leaving for a long weekend next week Wednesday. My BF and I are going to a cabin with two of his buddies and their GFs. They are both quite a bit younger than me, and they both just started dating my BF's friends. I have been around long enough to know that these two girls are not going to be long term girlfriends. I don't want to play nice and try to get to know them. I know that is horrible, but they are true girly girls. I am not about that. My ideal situation would be my BF and I going up north with just his two friends. Let's leave the other ladies at home.

UO/Confession:

My sister is talking about not having bridesmaids at her wedding, and I am kind of all for that. Why do we need bridesmaids at weddings anyway? Can the world just mutually agree that we don't need to do that anymore. We would all save a ton of money. Don't get me wrong...I want my ladies with me all day, and I want to take group pictures with them. I just don't think I will force them to buy a matching dress, spend a ton of money, stand up during the wedding, etc.

II:

I have long hair, and i HATE when I get out of the shower with wet, dripping hair. I hate how it drips all over the place. I hate the feeling of it on my skin. I hate pulling a t-shirt over my hair while it's wet. I can never get a towel on my hair fast enough. Lol. I know I sound crazy. That is why it is an irrational irritation.

eilis1228 · July 2014

@justbeingme93 I feel ya on the long hair! My hair has gotten so long/heavy that it falls out of ponytails now. Long hair is pretty, but it's a pain in the ass.
