Guys, we should start collecting donations for NEY bathroom additions/upgrades lol.

SITB: THIS pretty, pretty please. I have a bath and a half in our new place and both are 1940s bathrooms with pink tile EVERYWHERE. Its like Barbie threw up. Oh and the one tub we have is baby blue...to match the sink don't you know. We are gutting the main one, reglazing the half bath to white (the tile is in good shape despite the color) and adding a full bath to the basement... cha-ching!

Confession: I wanted to AW my BM dresses, but I guess not since people aren't into WR posts. Confession: I feel like my wedding is really fucking hokey compared to other people's weddings I've been to, that's why I AW some stuff, but not everything because it gets me down.

bethsmiles · August 2014

@buddysmom80 - I Want to see your BM dresses!

What does this even mean?!?! Your wedding is going to be AWESOME.

AW those BM dresses, BITCH.

KeptInStitches · August 2014

@foxandbunny, time to POAS. We'll be here to support you no matter what!

Confession: I adore all of you ladies, and this thread has made my day. I fell over the weekend and am now on crutches, and this thread put me in a much better mood. So thank you!

Confession II: I should share the reason why I fell... Maxi dresses are the devil. Was having quality time with my family and my little brother told me to hold the door for him, so I held it shut. When he got the door open my foot got stuck in the dress and I went flying off my front steps and landed in my driveway. Now I have a severely sprained foot, gashes all over my knees, oh and an angry sister since she's getting married in a few weeks.

Peaseblossom55 · August 2014

@buddysmom80 AW the BM dresses I want to see them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GoldenPenguin · August 2014

@livleighton - you're welcome

It's just payback for all those times you've made me ugly cry over the years. xoxo

KeptInStitches · August 2014

@buddysmom80, I want to see the BM dresses!

Swazzle · August 2014

@LivLeighton - 1100000% agreed with @GoldenPenguin. You're beautiful inside and out and there is no doubt in my mind that the right guy for you is out there.

@buddysmom80 - YOU SHUT YOUR HOAR MOUTH AND AW THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE BM DRESSES RIGHT NOW. Your wedding is going to be absolutely AMAZING. I love EVERY SINGLE detail that you've shared with me.

ETA: I don't know why my words are underlined. I don't even know how to underline words on TK. I haz magic.

C: Some days I really do feel like I'm going to end up alone. Like maybe there isn't a person out there for me. Online dating is the WORST and I just don't have time to go out to normal activities to meet people. Honestly, I don't even know what those activities might be. Mostly I'm really, totally happy with my life -- I love my job, my home, my pets, my friends and family -- but sometimes I feel like there must be something wrong with me that this hasn't happened for me.

THIS! I felt just like this before I met ex-SO and being 31 I feel it again.
I'm very pleased with all the other aspects of my life but yeah...I feel ya girl!

minskat30 · August 2014

@LivLeighton - No, no, no, I "third" what @goldenpenguin and @peaseblossom55 said. The right one is out there for you and you are going to be so over-the-moon happy one day when you find him or he finds you. You are worth every bit of the love that I know is coming your way.

cu97tiger · August 2014

@livleighton - FOURTH! You will not end up alone. It takes time to find someone who has even 1/10 of the awesomeness to hang out with you.

@buddysmom80 - AW YOUR BM DRESSES. AW YOUR BM DRESSES. AW YOUR BM DRESSES.

II: I had an UO but now I can't remember it. So now I'm irritated with myself.

lmcooper86 · August 2014

@Swazzle‌: TK just knew how much emphasis you wanted in that post. Also, magic.

@LivLeighton: I hardly know you and even I think you're wrong

@buddysmom80‌: dresses dresses dresses!

Confession: I intentionally elbow people who start getting on the subway before I've exited. Back the fuck off.

FoxandBunny · August 2014

Thank you so much guys. I would tag you all but there are to many. I really appreciate the support. It means so much to me to know y'all are here for me whichever why the test goes. And y'all have made me less freaked out to take the test. Also, it took me a minute to figure out what POAS meant.

I can't get them today, but I'll get them tomorrow and take it. I'll update y'all once I know the result.

@swazzle - I'm so glad you changed it. While I really appreciate the sentiment, I prefer to pee privately.

@livleighton - I whatever number it is @buddysmom80 and @swazzle. You'll find someone, I know it. You're too cool not to.

buddysmom80 · August 2014

Okay you ladies asked, so here they are! I had to crop out their faces since people get weird about the internet (unlike me lolz). They are wearing sample dresses, so they're all in different colors but they'll be ordered in black.

Blue & White · August 2014

@foxandbunny I peed on a stick the month after my wedding because my period was MIA. I totally bought the 5 pack of pregnancy tests because duh it was a better buy lol. I got me at walmart with a self checkout but as a cashier at a drugstore, I sell pregnancy tests, condoms, and Plan B (a bit late for you obviously) ALL THE TIME. And most of the time, I'm proud of the customer because they're taking charge of their sex life and being responsible

Also, in high school I bought my first pregnancy test with the stupid lines and it was stressful as all hell. Since I'm richer than my HS self, I bought clear blue digital this time. It was so much better.

I have preferences for pregnancy tests. That's my confession.

Peaseblossom55 · August 2014

@buddysmom80‌ the dresses are so pretty!!!!!

bookishgiraffes · August 2014

@blue & white I have preferences with them now, too. The first one I took was a cheap off brand one that I got for like 80 cents and it didn't work at all, and the lines didn't really show up at all. I figure I'll spend the extra money and get a better one, since I'm already anxious because I have to buy the thing, I don't want to be more anxious not being able to read it!

labro · August 2014

@TwoDimes Great! While you're here you can help me shovel out chipped tree trunks and level the backyard.

When I told FI I liked yard work I meant I liked yard maintenance - trimming bushes, planting flowers, etc. Not hard heavy labor hah!

CLoGreenEyes · August 2014

@buddysmom80, your wedding is going to be HAUTE. In all of your WR posts, I have been like, "DAY-UM that girl is good!" So don't even worry, it will be amazing and most definitely not hokey.

@LivLeighton, I know that feel. But like all the others have said, there is not a snowball's chance in hell that YOU will end up alone. You are beautiful, smart, funny, insightful, and a million other qualities, and the fact that you already HAVE this life that you've built up, are proud of, and enjoy makes you that much more amazing and special. Online dating totally feels like the pits, and from the stories you've shared, you haven't run into the right person to appreciate all of that about you yet. But you're holding out for the right thing - someone who deserves a spot in your life - and it WILL pay off. Lots of love, lady.

@FoxandBunny, I'm late and so you probably already POAS (it literally took me all night and most of this morning to figure out what that meant...I'm smart), but just wanted to send you hugs and vibes! That moment when you're like, "...Well, shit, I never thought I'd MISS having my period," sucks, but it could be caused by a million things. Crossing my fingers for the best for you! We're here for you!

***

Apparently a UO: I am rather broken up about Robin Williams. I am NOT, I repeat NOT, comparing my grief or the grief of any fan to his family or close friends; but there are a few reasons why I'm sad about it. First, he was freaking awesome - talented and funny and a lot of other things. He was one of my favorite actors, and I will miss seeing new things from him. Second, the way that he died and circumstances leading up to it absolutely break my heart - that someone who brought joy to others could not find any of his own to the point where he didn't want to live. Bipolar disorder is a struggle for so many people, and as someone whose family members fight this battle every day, it's so disheartening to hear of another person who has completely and permanently succumbed to it. So yeah, I'm a little sad. I can understand why not everyone is - there are other celebrity deaths I haven't reacted so strongly to - but I will say that this hit me harder than usual.

Confession: I just ate a peanut butter and jelly cupcake for breakfast. I'm not even sorry. And I'll probably have leftover pasta for second breakfast. I have a problem.

II (well, it might actually be rational): So after my whole car-purse debacle, I changed all of my account numbers just to be safe, and then I realized I had written a check to the board of nursing for my license that hadn't been processed yet. So I had to call them and be like, "IT WILL BOUNCE! DON'T CASH IT!" So now I have the pleasure of ordering checks ASAP and dashing up to Baltimore with the new check so I can register to take my boards and actually get this shit done in a timely manner so I can start working.

Confession: I haven't done any studying for NCLEX since last week. Oopsies.

Confession: I definitely have the same feeling as @LivLeighton, the one about how I'm going to end up alone. Logically I know the chances that I'll find another person I love and respect who loves and respects me back is pretty good. I get that. But I'm just getting discouraged. It hasn't been that long of a time, but I just wonder if I'll EVER feel ready to open back up to somebody new. I get lonely every now and then, but I do have a good life, and I don't HAVE to feel lonely with the friends and family I have around me. I'm OK and comfortable with this. But I know that's not how I want to live forever, and I'm worried that I'm not going to be open to anyone new, even if they turn out to be wonderful and worth taking a chance on.

Totally rational irritation: Whoever broke into my car and stole my purse spent about $70 on gas before I got to cancel my card. Between replacing the purse, my license and registration, my debit card, my epi-pens, my house keys, my locks, and my car window, I spent a buttload more than $70. WTF, STUPID PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?!?! DO YOU SEE HOW THAT IS RIDICULOUS?!?!?!?!

thetimewillcome · August 2014

Confession: My medicine is making my hair fall out. My doctors have reassured me that not all of it will fall out, but I've at least lost 2/3s of my hair mass (I'm also not convinced I'm not going to lose it all). I was growing it out and it was getting pretty long. My hairdresser recommended cutting it, which I had already contemplated. Now I'm losing my hair and it's shorter and it looks like crap everyday. I tell my SO that it doesn't bother me, but it does a lot. I'm very grateful that no one has commented on my new haircut.

Confession: My SO knows that this hair loss bothers me and is trying to get me to go to the dermatologist to get their opinion. I don't want to because I'm afraid that they are going to tell me horrible things and with all the other medical problems I've been having, I don't think I can handle being any more broken.

II: I dislike women wearing yoga pants, leggings, or other sports pants out in public if they aren't actually working out. I also dislike men wearing sweatpants. For some reason I think that people look sloppy. This is completely irrational, who am I to know where they are going, what they are doing, etc.? And, why do I care, it's not my body. This is why it's irrational.

bethsmiles · August 2014

@buddysmom80 - I love your BM dresses!

@CLoGreenEyes - You absolutely will not end up alone! You are way too awesome for loneliness!

lilacck28 · August 2014

I'm late with posting as well

@thetimewillcome ... you should listen to your bf and go to the dermatologist! I was diagnosed with a mild form of PCOS when I was young, and there was an oral medication to encourage hair growth... Maybe there's something out there that will help?

@foxandbunny I hope everything turns out okay! If it is positive, you will get through it. There is no such thing as a wrong decision here. Whatever is right for you, as difficult a choice as it may be, will be the right thing. If it is negative, think about going to the doctor anyway. Maybe the new birth control isn't working for you, or your body is all stressed out. This actually happened to my friend in college. She thought she was pregnant, it was negative, and the issue was that she was running and excercizing too much.

@livleighton online dating can totally suck... but it can totally work too! hang in there. I don't know you well, but you are SO gorgeous and I agree with everything the other ladies already said. NO WAY will you end up alone.

Confession: I'm really scared I'm going to stop making artwork, and give up my university teaching goal, in order to have a steady paycheck as a paralegal or an unsteady paycheck as a temp worker. The paralegal thing would be fine, and its certainly a respectable job, except 1. I wouldn't be working within my field and 2. I was this close to going to law school, so I think being a paralegal would make me feel like I REALLY wasted my time in graduate school. I took the lsats, did well, my whole high school and college career was kind of putting me in that direction, but I changed my mind and decided to follow dreams of teaching art since becoming a lawyer is no longer a guarantee for a good job nowadays. But being a paralegal for my entire life wasn't part of any of my dreams.

I'm even more scared that I won't find a job at all... and all that school! for nothing. And all those loans! Ugh. And I'm always the one to talk about how important education is, and how loans are totally worth it. And they are. I know they are.

Yeah, that was way dramatic. Things will work out.

Confession II: my friend/ bridesmaid is getting an apartment. She's paying $40 less than FI and I are, and she'll be living in a really fancy town in our state. In a two bedroom. We have a one bedroom. I am so jealous. And she has a great, well paying job. And when she was applying to jobs, she landed, not exaggerating, I think it was 6 positions. JEALOUS.

bethsmiles · August 2014

@lilacck28 - Don't give up on your goal of university teaching! That is my goal as well. Right now I have one class of public speaking that doesn't pay much. Which is going to mean working at least 2 jobs to make ends meet. But hopefully with more experience I can get more teaching positions but right now it's a kind of scary road money-wise. Just keep applying and looking for professional development opportunities in the meantime.

lilacck28 · August 2014

@bethsmiles

Thank you! I really needed to hear that. I feel like I missed the boat on getting adjunct positions for this fall, and maybe even the spring. I emailed with a professor from a school I was interested in teaching at, and he was like "well, good luck. You'll be competing with everyone from Yale." That was pretty discouraging and I let it slow me down. I should have sent out my packet to a lot more schools, and in a more timely manner.

I have a weekend teaching job at a fancy boarding school though, so at least I'll be able to keep teaching this year.

My youngest sister had lap-band surgery and experienced moderate hair loss due to her new diet/lack of certain nutrients. I know how stressful it was for her - she used extensions some of the time, but was constantly worried that they were causing even more hair to fall out than before. She hated washing her hair because THAT made hair come out, and she hated not washing it because it made her feel dirty. She used a few different products that made her hair look/feel thicker and some things that helped restore growth, but overall her doctors just told her it would take time for her body to adjust, and then her hair would start growing normally again. It took a while - maybe a year and a half? But her hair definitely seems to be getting thicker now, and she doesn't feel the need to use extensions/special products. So hang in there and let me know if you'd like me to find out what she recommends!

I would like to second that notion. I wore one the day we were leaving for a long weekend "up north" (It was a super casual Maxi). Well, packing the car is awfully hard to do while wearing one of those suckers. I couldn't move the way I wanted to. I kept tripping up the stairs trying to carry things, so I pulled up one side and pulled it together with a rubber band. My SO was laughing at me. It looked ridiculous, but I had shit to get done. haha.

bethsmiles · August 2014

@lilacck28 - Boo! I would've been discouraged by that e-mail too!

foxish · August 2014

@foxandbunny First off, find out if you're pregnant, don't stress before.

I live in the deep south but in a part that is kind of insulated and progressive. I'm pretty sure you could get that done here and I would take you to have it done. Also, I've had a D/C. So if you end up finding out that you are, let's be friends. You don't have to go through this alone.
