Confessions on a Friday (FFFC)

[jessila]

Because I have one.

[jessila]

Remember how I said I got two boxes of girl scout cookies? Well, I ate half a box before I even got home yesterday. So I told DH I only got one.

No judgement from me! I ate an entire box on Wednesday. Made it 2/3 of the way through and was like, well might as well get this out of the way. I'm blaming H though...if he liked Samoas maybe I would have felt guilty and saved him some (lol no).

I figured I should get rid of the evidence so I finished the box with my coffee during my commute today.
Yay, Friday!

I'm peeved my girl scout cookies haven't arrived yet

I frequently hide food I want from DH because he eats more frequently/in larger amounts than I do.

I hate the nights that SO sleeps in bed with me. I'm currently trapped between a baby and a loudly snoring man. It's hot and uncomfortable.

I had to run out to the store after we put DD down last night. I told DH that I was only getting milk, I ended up getting milk and ice cream. I have hidden the ice cream from him so I can enjoy it all to myself.

Ive won the battle for the bed and I do not feel bad about it. The man snoring is not okay. He sleeps on the futon 95% of the time now. This is fine by me. Now if LO would just stop waking up 4 gazillion times, I could actually sleep...

[billyhorrible]

I have obsessive/compulsive tendencies about which threads I "can"/"can't" respond to. (Example, if a thread is over a page long by the time I first see it, it's too late for me to join in.)

[heartofglass]

I think deep down a part of me actually likes it when my H snores at night because I get to poke/shove him extra hard and release some pent up aggression.

[3dimesdown]

I'm totally judgey about excessive punctuation in a work email. You don't always have to be strictly professional, but if every question has "" behind it... just no.

I will make an exception for something like "Thanks!!" if someone was REALLY helpful.

ETA: J15 hearts grammar, apparently.

[iowamama615]

With the exception of a couple t-shirts, all of my post-pregnancy clothes have been hand me downs from my mom.
This is because: I'm cheap/don't want to buy clothes when I'm still trying to lose weight, and I'm over having to go somewhere and try on clothes, For the most part though, my mom has some really cute stuff.

[Bluedaisy]

3dimesdown, I'm with you on exclamation marks in work emails. It looks sloppy.

I have no judgements on any eating habits. Mine are horrible.

Confession: I am invited to a shower this weekend and the invite (facebook invite to every single person she is friends with on FB)included the book instead of card note. I am purposely not buying books. I refuse to write in a book that will probably end up donated or in a garage sale. Instead I got her a couple of cute outfits and a card. I don't even feel too too bad because she didn't get me anything when my baby was born.

Waiting patiently for wegrowsheep's confession today.

I'm confused! lol, okay, ummm I had most of a loaf of bread yesterday, followed by the rest of the bottle of wine. But I haven't gained anything, so dietbet can suck it.

Anything I'm missing?

ETA I hate baseball. Okay,sports in general.
IT'S NOT 7AM YET. Give me a break, I'm still in bed and un-caffeinated!

At some baby showers they request that instead of a card to go with the gift to give a book instead...and in the book you can write a little message.

Oh, that's cute. I hate greeting cards and kids love books. I don't understand the issue.

Telling people what to buy (in an invitation) is tacky.

I mean, it was a facebook invite so I don't think whoever this was is real caught up in being Ms. Manners anyways.

But I'm a bitch so if someone tells me what to do in an invite, I usually don't do it.

oh wegrowsheep, this confession involves your bed...

LOL. My bed is not as busy of a place as it used to be, too squeaky...

[3dimesdown]

FFFC: I still have every card I've ever received. And so does LO.

[3dimesdown]

I'm getting this vibe like maybe @jemomma is standing outside watching wegrowsheep do something that she wants her to confess...?

[jillywilly]

I also hide food from DH. I ordered five boxes of girl scout cookies from one of my co-workers. When I get them next week, I anticipate about 3 or so making it home. The other two will remain in my desk so I actually get to eat some of the cookies.

My best friend did the book instead of a card thing for her baby shower. I didn't mind that, because she and her DH are both total bookworms, so it made total sense for them, and I love spoiling the crap out of their little girl. For other people, if they do it, I try to just buy a less expensive book, one that's about the cost of a card anyway, so it's not that big of a deal to me. But then, it's also a pretty common thing around here, so I'm pretty used to seeing it.

[periwinkledaydreams]

I just got a massive pang in my hoarder heart. My sister, who keeps nothing, helped me go through and get rid of the massive piles of life that I was dragging around with me, and one of the piles she said I did not need to keep anymore was 30 years worth of cards.

I WASN'T ALONE!!!!

Cards in my house go on the fireplace mantle for a couple weeks, and then get promptly discarded. The only exception is I think I may have our wedding cards in a box somewhere of other wedding crap. And I put the cards from my baby shower and the "welcome new baby" cards in the box I got for baby crap. Anything else though? Probably getting tossed. This will likely include his first birthday cards - I just don't see my grown son being devastated I didn't keep them, and I have enough clutter in my house as it is.

I can't stand when prefessional type people add smileys to the end of emails or notes. I had a boss who would send pretty nasty emails then follow up with a smiley as to make herself seem not as harsh.

[pghtruelove]

@jemomma I'm also eagerly awaiting the confession...

[erbear]

My mom gave me a box of cards from when I was a baby recently and I threw them away. I have no use for them. I didn't even know 95% of the people.

I did save lo's cards, just in case she's sentimental that way.

[wegrowsheep]

Stupid ad redirects on mobile have banished me to tapatalk.
Apparently, sexy time and bedsharing is not as popular as one might think. But when the only place DS1 would sleep like a rock and not wake (as an infant) was our bed...

I take more time to answer work emails if they start by Sir or my first name spelled wrong. Of you don't know me, be polite and write Sir OR Madam, don't just expect I am a guy for the work I do. If you know me, you wrote my email address that is firstname.lastname so please make an effort to write it right. Otherwise I will take hours/days to answer you.

My last name is a male first name and I have had people email me and just call me my last name... because they assume I'm a man because of my job... my email address is firstnamelastinitial@workplace. com. My email address is literally a woman's first name. How do you mess that up??

Oh, please, FB ladies, you have to know what I'm talking about.

[littlemissgrump]

Confession 1: My mom gave me her wedding dress and it's been sitting in a shopping bag in a closet for 2 years. I never wanted it and now I don't know what to do with it. Just keep on keeping it there? Give it to my sister for when she gets married, if ever?

Confession 2: My mom started a FB invite for a trip to Mexico next year. This would be the same trip as last year. I'm hoping to be pregnant by then so I have a good excuse to not go. I don't want to do another extended family trip. My H and I have never been on a real vacation that hasn't involved family somehow.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Just kicked my H out of the house because he was being loud while baby naps and wasn't being productive while I was trying to clean.

FFFC- Now that he's gone I'm curled up in bed eating chocolate carmels and watching a show on netflix.
