Every year my H gets so excited for the draft and every year I forget how painfully boring it is

I banished H to the man cave for that borefest so I can watch Nurse Jackie

We only have one tv. This draft is thrilling.

I need mother day gift ideas for my mom!!! She doesn't wear much jewelry, doesn't really "need" anything, but appreciates homemade stuff. Last year I sewed her this fabulous apron.



Give me ideas! Go!

mustloveerica, this Buzzfeed list has some cute DIYs! I saved it for later to make some stuff for myself.

So DH was shopping on Craigslist and sent me this add. He said we needed to buy it out of principal. The seller wrote such an amazing add that it demands to be purchased.

[ohinvrtedworld]

diamondsndaisies , HAHA that is amazing!! You have to buy it!  

I desperately wanted to find a way to buy a dog van a la Dumb & Dumber that was on sale near here, and that one's description was also fantastic. It was like a total replica. I hope it went to the right home.

As far as I know it still doesn't have any takers.

Ex-h is DDs coach and I am just sitting here wondering how I EVER thought this man was anything but a dumbass.

I need entertainment for 30 minutes until my friend comes home! I hate being in a house where idk how to use the tv

[ohinvrtedworld]

If said friend is usually bad at estimating how long things take and is late to things fairly regularly, is it shitty to kind of gently point out that it's annoying?

[ohinvrtedworld]

She never expresses embarrassment or shame, just "thanks so much for being gracious/flexible"

That is seriously the worst. Thank goodness for phones!

Gif battle?

[bex15]

I've had the worst day and am over people including H. I just got home and have locked myself in bedroom with my sonic, a bottle of wine and legally blonde. It's lovely.

Agh I'm trying to find a good gif but my connection is terrible! Boo

[diamondsndaisies]

It was a terrible suggestion because I don't know how to gif on mobile. Lol!

I have a friend like that.  I've learned to +30-60 minutes to everything she plans.

Do I have a stick up my butt for being super irritated? I feel like people who underestimate times need to learn to communicate times differently if they always seem to be wrong.

We aren't BFF level friends either so I'm just not as gracious and forgiving yet lol.

[bex15]

I'm chugging shitty wine, should feel great tomorrow.

This drives me insane. An ex-boyfriend was terrible about it and I once flipped out about how it's completely inconsiderate and basically says "my time is more valuable than yours."

I just took my codeine cough syrup, wooooooooo

Oh no, is it that time again?

[ohinvrtedworld]

She just texted me to say she is just leaving the restaurant, so it's more like 45 minutes later than time agreed upon. Mrrrr.

I have been known to leave when these things happen.

Not at all, I'm always really annoyed by it.  My coping mechanism is to just plan to be later, and I am usually earlier than her anyway.  

You could call her out on it, but that depends on how comfortable you are with it.  Either way, you're allowed to have a stick up your butt.

UGH  I'VE SO BEEN THERE.  HOW DO SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUCH A TERRIBLE CONCEPT OF TIME?!

It's tempting! We're also coworkers so I feel like I have to thoughtfully bring it up and not accidentally burn part of a bridge or whatever. But omg seriously. I just don't operate like this so I can't empathize very much.

[ohinvrtedworld]

I desperately need friends since I haven't lived here very long but omg is it a trying process haha.
