Confess YOU

[thechickencoop]

[thechickencoop]

H is doing a week long fishing trip next month and he wants DS and I to come for a few days during the week. I'm using the excuse that I don't want DS to miss too much preschool and that I don't want to miss too much work (I don't get PTO) for only going for two days/one night.

Really I couldn't care less about either I just really hate boat trips and would rather stay home.

DS has already had a mini kit kat and is working on a little bag of M&Ms this morning. He ate his oatmeal, might as well move on to his Easter candy.

Uh...guys....? Just me + pineapples?

I don't have much to confess yet. Other than the fact that I ate a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg for breakfast at 7:30am.

Nope. Try again.

Even though we likely missed most of my FW, it was nice not having the stress of needing to HIO because of DH's SA.

I shall be back once I think of something juicy (I hope) and non food related.

I have a really hard time being nice to people that eat crackers for me. I'm just not good at faking being friendly and I know it makes me a complete bitch.

[mosdub]

When I have to pee REALLY BAD and finally get to a toilet I always count in my head how long I pee.

Wow, 36 seconds!

This probably isn't much of a confession: my job make me hate people. Just people in general. The general public is in general a bunch of dumb asses.

+1. But I wouldn't say HATE, it just makes me realize that people are a bunch of fucking idiots.

I'm seriously side-eyeing my cousin's wedding registry. I mean, yea, I don't really care because, whatever, it's her shit, but she is like...mid-twenties. They registered for a shitton of like, crystal vases, bowls, marble kitchen accessories, and then about 20 different picture frames and 10 different 'wall-art' pieces.

Really, you do you, but...I just find it all odd.

I spent 4 years working in tech support. I ended up hating people and getting anxious every time the phone rang. People really do suck.

Confession #1: I treated myself to some Taco Bell the other day because I wanted to eat my feelings after my last beta draw. If DH hadn't found the receipt I stupidly left lying around, I wouldn't have ever told him.

Confession #2: my sex dreams rarely ever include DH.

was she already living with her SO?

I could see someone doing that if: A) they lived with their SO and had all of the typical household items needed and didn't want to get repeats of stuff, or B) she doesn't know how to adult yet and doesn't know she'll actually need those bowls and knife set that great aunt Sarah will give her.

I actually have no clue if they live together. We're not very close and H and I are totally on the 'B' list for the wedding (my parents and my sister both got save-the-dates and invites months ago. We didn't get a save the date and juuust got our invite last week). 

And they registered for all of their normal household items too, like 6 comforter sets. Which is also kind of weird. I mean...really...whatever. lol.

ETA I should add that she's really a...2nd or 3rd cousin. And we're also not going to the wedding or shower cuz they're both OOT. But don't worry, shower gift is already sent and we'll send some wedding cash haha.

I'm dancing around my office and taking risqué Snapchats in the bathroom because I'm the only one here today.

MH's cousin got married last summer and I did some side-eyeing of her registries (she registered at 3 places). She did not live with her SO.

There were a lot of board games on her registry (Monopoly anyone?), beach umbrellas, hammocks, tent, 3 different size crockpots, and normal umbrellas. She also had the typical registry items as well. Some of the items just made me do a double-take.

this is a case of someone that didn't know how to adult yet. Like, girl you gonna need that cutting board and measuring cups before a beach umbrella and hammock.

Yeah, I think you're right.

When I did my registry, I tried to think of it as a "what will really suck to not have when I need to: clean, cook, sleep"

In case anyone was wondering, no one bought her the hammocks or beach umbrellas. But someone DID buy her the bocce ball set.

It was nice to live together first. We bought crappy stuff and had hand me downs from our parents so when we got married we knew what we needed and what we didn't need.

Our registry was small because we had a tiny 50 person "destination" wedding, but we definitely used it as a chance to upgrade all our stuff that we already had from living together. Then we handed down all the old stuff to our brothers. Ha.

I get sad when my cat climbs on me in the morning, then decides to sleep on MrRama instead.

[PirateCat]

Rama, I get jealous of how much my girl cat and H love each other. They are so cute together it's sickening.

This was us too. We had the shittiest of crap and it was nice to register for long-term stuff. We still didn't have THAT much on our registry and we didn't want china or anything like that. My mom drove me crazy at the time because 'what are people going to get you???' Um, the shit we registered for and cash thankyouverymuch.

FWIW we got every.single.thing we registered for and still have most of it. And still do not want/need any sort of formal dinnerware.

We lived together first and our place had zero storage (like i'm talking so few cabinets that we used our kitchen table as a storage area) That coupled with my inability to get over sticker shock made our registry pretty small. Small enough that we received all but one thing, and lots and lots of gift cards.

The only major splurge item we registered for was a dyson.

I already have my mother's china set. That may have also been a contributing factor to the smaller sized registry.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but do you normally tell your husband all the food you consume? I didn't know it was customary to tell your husband every time you stopped for food.

Am I wifing wrong?

[icedtea]

99% of the time when H is in my dreams, he is an asshole. In real life, he is quite lovely, but I legitimately get angry at him for dream!H. Like, I'll say I'm not when I tell him about the dream, but then there is this undercurrent of irritation at him all day that I have to tamp down. Sometimes it comes out, though I [usually] apologize.

I tried to find a gif of "I am not responsible for dream Feeny!" but failed.

My thoughts too! DGAF if H finds out I decimated a McFlurry and fries. If this luscious big ass wants fries, it gets them unless I'm being healthy that day.

sticker shock was big for me too. We registered at Target and BBB. Could not do Macy's.

We also went for Target and BBB. One woman actually complained to my mom that we didn't register at Macy's because, you know, Target and BBB weren't nice enough.

Wooooooooow.

<---did not realize that Macy's was THAT nice. I mean, they have some nice stuff I guess but, they have a lot of crap too.
