I need Calgon to take me away...

This is totally stupid and petty but it has been a sh*tass week and I just need to vent.  The week started out with me spilling an entire cup of coffee all over my white winter dress coat and down the front of a white cami.  Then Wednesday night while driving home from work I got pulled over for my expired inspection sticker (my power steering is out but I refuse to pay $2000 to fix something that does not effect how my car runs or the safety).  Then I wake up Wed. morning to drive DH to work and my car breaks down.  I'm praying to God that its not the transmission but at this point its not looking good and that will make the power steering look cheap.  We were so excited this month to be getting ahead a little and had just bought Christmas presents so now I can't even have the car looked at until pay day NEXT week.  Thank goodness for DH's car and that he works so close to home. 

On top of all of that, the new meds I'm taking have made me blow up like a balloon.  I mean, like a freaking blimp.  My clothes are barely fitting and, the worst part, my cheeks look like I'm saving nuts for winter.  It is so bad I barely recognize myself in the mirror and am so self-concious of it that I have cancelled last minute on three holiday parties becuase I feel so horrible about how I look. I feel like people are looking at me and thinking "holy crap, what happened to her?" We have two parties this weekend and three next and I'm really trying to build myself up to go but its hard.  Then this morning on the elevator a co-irker makes the comment "well, I guess it is true that people gain weight after marriage.  You must be very happy and content."  BITC*!!!  Why, oh why are women so mean?  Off to cry in the bathroom stall.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough week! 

If you need a good mechanic, I have a great one in North Austin.  (His prices are regularly about half what the dealership was going to charge me.)

Your co-irker is a straight up b!tch.  Sometimes, I think people are so blinded by jealousy that they can't even see straight, and that's obviously what's happening with her.  Good for you for not throat punching her!

And, I am sure you look as fantastic as always.  I think we're (women in general) our own worst critics when it comes to appearance.

What?!  Why would someone say something like that?  It's just rude!    I'm surprised you were able to show restraint and not smack her.  I hope your week gets better.  **HUGS**

  What. The. Fudge.

Don't let that horrible miserable excuse for a woman ruin your mood. What a whore. 

Sorry about the rough week. Hang in there!!

People are so fvcking stupid sometimes. You should have throat punched her. Poor salt in her coffee or something. Or give us her address and we'll go egg her house.
