Confessions/II/UO

AlPacina · January 2015

II: Everyone seems to think that because my dog looks like a pit bull, they need to tell me every freakin pit bull attack story they know. Within the last 24 hours I have had two different women tell me about their husbands being attacked by a pair of pit bulls. I feel really bad for them, I do! But those dogs are not my dog, and it hurts when you try and make that comparison because I've worked so hard to make him a super nice, well socialized dog with no aggressive tendencies..... I'm marking this as irrational because I think a lot of the time it really is just them trying to make conversation.

II: My hands smell like cilantro because I cut up a whole bunch to put in the crock pot this morning. I hate the smell of cilantro.

UO: I loved Into The Woods and can't wait to watch it again, ahhh! I haven't had enough musical-related stuff in my life lately and it bums me out.

Confession: If I want to go on vacation, I know that I'm the one who needs to plan it. BF plans nothing, and I know this. So the only thing holding me back from tropical weather right now is myself.

marylab · January 2015

As a newbie here can I ask what those acronyms mean?

Sorry about people talking like that about your dog..
It's not the same,but we had some nasty comments when
we got our cat.That they are dirty,full of germs,maybe the reason
I couldn't get pregnant in the future(wtf??) etc.
But I love cilantro,and Fi is not a planner,especially on getaways it's either
last minute call person or I have to organize and plan it.

Blackbird230 · January 2015

Confession: I alreay asked my sister to be a BM but she's my sister and that's not going to change so I'm ok with it even though I know it's early.

minskat30 · January 2015

@marylab - II = Irrational Irritation and UO = Unpopular Opinion

minskat30 · January 2015

Confession: Like @AlPacina - I know I need to plan our 2nd anniversary (in March) vacation as well as H's birthday trip (we married the day after his birthday) but I can't decide on anything. I really, really want to go to St Lucia and splurge since this will be our last vacation probably before TTC but its so damn expensive.

II: Why the hell is St Lucia so damn expensive? Sure, its breathtaking and all but $5,000+ for four nights?!?

audrewuh · January 2015

I did NOT like Into The Woods. It drug on for forever.

II: I got into it with someone I don't even know on Facebook last week about wearing leggings as pants and there was some pretty serious slut shaming and using Christianity as a weapon against the female body. I'm wearing leggings as pants for the first time since that thing and I'm at a Christian class/conference and I'm feeling super self conscious and I'm irritated with myself for feeling that way. I love leggings as pants and I love my body, but this guy has made me feel like shit, and I'm doing my best to choose not to listen to it, but those feelings are there.

marylab · January 2015

Thank you @minskat30 !

II-I think I am having the cold,I thought I was done with around Christmas.
Either it's back,but I have the same symptoms or I didn't give it
the attention I had to,and now it claims its time.Paired with AF..you get what I mean.

Confession-I need to be done cleaning the house at last!We have to give the china,chairs etc.,we borrowed back,and we both feel lazy to do 2 floors of stairs up and down to load and unload them in the car.And I have to organize the fridge too.Toss food and defrost it too.I just can't start..meh

That's ridiculous. You could go to Moorea for that.

marylab · January 2015

Oh @audrewuh I just want to give you a hug!I know that as many times
as you hear ''don't care about what others say'' somehow you end up caring..and a lot.How do stretchy pants and christianity connect either way?It's a pair of freaking comfy pants!I'm sure you rock these leggings!I have a pair I wear at home,and Fi teases me.They were a gift from my mum,and they are crazy.With a ton of little triangles,deer,dots and feathers.I have no idea where she got them,but if I wore them outside people would drop dead from laughing and probably me too.

speakeasy14 · January 2015

@minskat Cheap Caribbean, Funjet, and Apple Vacations often have really good deals for St. Lucia

@alpacina I hate when people generalize dogs based off a bad experience. My sister's dog is a pit bull boxer mix and she has to bring him to every appointment when she's looking at houses and apartments to rent so that they see his is a big mush.

audrewuh My only issue with wearing leggings as pants is when they are see through. I usually wear an oversized top or tunic to cover up just in case they are see through, but that is more of a personal preference. If yours are not see through, you have no reason to be self conscious... Actually I retract that statement, no one should ever make you feel self conscious, wear what you're comfortable in! And that guy should be punched in the throat.

II - I can't stand when women use public bathrooms as a hangout. Please get out of my way so I can wash my hands and get out.

Confession - I am horrible at maintaining my car. I know I need an oil change, badly, but I just don't feel like going to a mechanic. Also, the rubber lining on the front windshield popped out over the summer. My solution was to pull it through the sunroof and I'd get it fixed before the temperatures dropped. That was June; it is now January and I still haven't fixed it.

audrewuh · January 2015

@minksat30 that's ridiculously expensive! Are you set on a beach vacation?

@marylab thanks! I am rocking them, but I'm in a room with people who hold similar ideals that this guy did, and that's annoying. The argument goes that a woman who wears immodest clothing that shows "too much" of her figure to "the world" will cause men to struggle with "impure thoughts." So, I'm in theory causing my brother in Christ to stumble in his quest for sexual purity/marital faithfulness because you can see the outline of my ass in flattering clothes.

Because men have no control over their thoughts and are only capable of thinking about sex when looking at a woman who is wearing non-baggy, frumpy clothes.

marylab · January 2015

@ audrewuh Well I never have heard of that one before..
Do you have to stay long?

audrewuh · January 2015

@marylab it's a week long course/conference/thing, so I'm here all week. To push myself to get past the mental block I had up, I volunteered to go stand in front of the class and participate in an activity. So, I'm clearly not in tears, just irrationally irritated. Haha.

[Deleted User] · January 2015

@andrewuh - I am so sorry. This so-called "purity culture" is really a culture of blaming women for every impure thought that a man has, and it's absolutely not okay. You wear what you want. If a man is tempted by your fabulous ass, that's on him.

Confession: I wear leggings as pants because nothing else fits right now and I'm super miserable about it. I'm trying to get my butt back in gear.

II: I know that the financial aid office is super busy...but how damn hard is it to push a button and disburse my aid to my account? I have bills to pay, people.

Confession: My wedding/babies BSC came back while Mr. H was here over Christmas, and we had to have a long, tearful (on my part, because I always cry when I feel like I've done something wrong) conversation about how he felt like that's all I ever talk about...and he was right, and I still feel like crap about it. I mean, I get to see this man maybe 3 weeks out of the year, and I really need to not go crazy about it. I'm still feeling guilty.

UO: I probably won't go see Into the Woods at all.

marylab · January 2015

@ audrewuh I thought you would say you have an hour or two left..bummer.
See?You 've got this!

minskat30 · January 2015

@audrewuh - SITB but yes we really want to do the Carribean due to the fact that its closer but we want to do some place exotic still. St Lucia fits the bill but not the price. There are great deals at the Dominician Republic and Jamaica but it just doesn't feel as tropical.

audrewuh · January 2015

@minksat30, have you thought about Costa Rica? Tamarindo is gorgous and tropical.

AlPacina · January 2015

@minskat30 - I'm with @audrewuh. Costa Rica really is an inexpensive place to visit, and there are tons of tropical areas to hang out in! That's where I'm trying to plan our vacation to.

peekaboo2011 · January 2015

Confession: marylab is driving me absolutely bullshit bonkers with her terrible grammar/spacing/drawn out novels. I get English isn't your first language, but holy crap I can't even read the posts anymore.

GoldenPenguin · January 2015

Confession: I have a bunch of people on my FB friends list that I am planning to defriend, but not until after the wedding. They're mostly all people from my hometown/high school, and I want them to see how fucking awesome it is. Sorry not sorry.

II: Anyone who uses religion as an excuse for any sort of shaming. Fuck that noise.

II: Unreadable formatting in posts. FFS.

audrewuh · January 2015

@speakeasy the very first time I tried the leggings as pants thing, I wore a thong to avoid VPL, and then a sweater on top that hit at the top of my hips. I drove from TX to MS to visit another knottie and stopped at several gas stations and a Target on my way. It wasn't until I got to my friend's house that I realized my leggings were super thin and totally see through. So, congrats TX, LA, and MS rest stops. You got to see a great ass that day.

Swazzle · January 2015

Confession: I DON'T WANT TO BE IN NEW JERSEY RIGHT NOW. IT'S TOO COLD.

Confession: I missed you guys SO much!

RI: I am 100% with @peekaboo2011. Holy hell, my eyes.

marylab · January 2015

@ peekaboo2011 Sorry!The spacing wasn't my fault.Sometimes fonts and spacing go crazy after I hit reply.

labro · January 2015

Confession: marylab's posts read like some sort of fucking awful haiku and I just can't get through any of them or take anything she says seriously. I'm not sorry about it either.

Confession: I told @GoldenPenguin I was mailing her package yesterday, but I actually got it in the mail today. The line at the post office was scary.

Confession: H and I are on the fence about kids, and I really want @southernpeach89 to have a baby soon so I can be the best aunt EVAH and spoil my future niece or nephew rotten. I'm uncomfortable with my ute wanting an occupant and I need a baby to spoil instead.

Confession: I don't have any II's or UO's today.

GoldenPenguin · January 2015

Confession: I love @lapeanut1018 (and her headband, and Cinders) so much that I don't even care that she didn't mail my package yesterday.

audrewuh · January 2015

Confession: I'm not paying attention in class at all, and it's partly out of rebellion because the teacher decided to start class an hour earlier than normal and I'm not okay with that.

CLoGreenEyes · January 2015

Most rational irritation I've ever had: If I don't get my paycheck tomorrow I will walk out. It's been two months. I can't work for free like that anymore.

Confession: I really want to chat and be excited about a possible new opportunity but I don't want to jinx it!

Confession: I feel like the only thing I have going on in my life anymore is this shitty job. I'm broke, it's cold, I'm depressed, I've gained weight. When people ask me what's new, I have nothing to say. I need to change something, or several things. I feel so stagnant right now and until I fix this employment thing I feel like I'm totally stuck.

II: Myself, for going swing dancing last weekend, spending most of the evening dancing and talking with this one really nice guy, and not asking to get together again. I'm trying to get more comfortable with the idea of making the first move, and I'm still not there yet.

II: My best friend. I'm really about to be done. She will not hang out unless it's at a time when her husband isn't available, and last week she sent me this article about why it's okay to not be married and have kids by 25 - you know, because I needed permission. We've been friends for so long, but I just feel like she's so wrapped up in her new life that I don't fit anymore.

Judge: Myself, for not responding to anyone's post yet (I read them all!), but my lunch break is about to be over!

loves2shop4shoes · January 2015

Confession: I want 5 more cats. And I want to continue on in our tradition of naming them after the orphans in the Annie musical. But DH won't let me get anymore. EPIC SADFACE.

Hahaha I did the same except I had on a bikini cut from VS that had some cheeky comment on the butt; pretty sure it said "This is perfection."

But I still say that guy needs to be punched in the throat, along with all those other people you're stuck with.

audrewuh · January 2015

@clogreeneyes that blows! I send you hugs.

You can totally make the changes you need to get yourself out of that rut. It doesn't always take something big to start the change either. You'll make it through and turn the corner soon!

eilis1228 · January 2015

RI: I'm so annoyed that I still have to get allergy shots. At least one of the three shots makes me bleed every time (usually the cat serum. Stupid cats), and my arms are so bruised and sore that it hurts to even rest them against the back of a chair for about a day afterwards. All 3 shots bled today, and the nurse said, "That's so weird that you always bleed. Most people don't." Gee, thanks. Should I be worried, lady???

RI: Why can't people RSVP? My BMs kept asking to get together to do a brunch and dress fitting day, so I planned one and sent out an evite last week. Only 1 BM actually RSVPed... I've had to nag the rest. I don't want to be a nag or a pain in the butt, but we need a head count in case we need to book a reservation for brunch... and this also makes me very nervous about RSVPs for the wedding.

Judge: Myself for not hitting up @audrewuh for drinks now that she's moved and my nose is healed! I suck! We need to get together soon

___________

@audrewuh An hour early? That should be illegal! Also, I'm always too scared to wear leggings as pants because I feel like they're too sheer. I have no problem with other women doing so, and I hate when men feel they have the right to judge women at all. You rock those leggings today!

@CLoGreenEyes I can't believe you still haven't been paid. That is ridiculous! Please do walk out if this continues much longer. What is their reasoning behind the lack of pay? Also, your best friend sucks. Sounds like she's taking her own insecurities out on you.

@minskat30 Belize is also a great option that is inexpensive. Let us know where you guys end up.

@speakeasy14 I am the same way with my car! I desperately need an oil change and my tires rotated, but ehhhh... such a hassle to do all that. Are you off Monday? If so, you should go then. Less hassle.

@AlPacina I really wish people realized it's the owner, not the dog. Pit bulls are usually the sweetest, most loving and fun dogs I encounter. My aunt has a couple, and they're big ol' teddy bears. My mom, however, is one of those people who hates dogs labeled as aggressive... although she was attacked by a German Shepard about 10 years ago, so I guess I understand her fear.

@Blackbird230 I don't think asking your sister this early is a big deal. Just try not to make any other wedding party decisions... friendships really do change. Also, if you haven't already heard this, be prepared for people to ask you about your dress and your wedding party a million times. I think those are some of the default questions after people find out you're engaged.
