tuesday confession

taggiecb

I watch two episodes of M.A.S.H every weekday. I love the history channel.

I'll add

I think I'm coming down with something and my tolerance and energy levels have plummeted.  I have no desire to parent today so I've left the kids to their own devices in the back yard or have plopped them in front of Doc McStuffins

M.A.S.H. is great.

 

My confession? We may very well be getting to buy DH's grandparents' house. The only reason I am saying yes to it is because DH grew up there, so it means a lot to him. I hate the house itself, and it wouldn't be anywhere near my choice of house to buy.

you are in my husband's shoes, and I am in your husband's.

Another MASH lover here.

I'm not crazy about LO's name, but DH loves it. I know I'll get used to it, but....

This was me with DS2s name. I have a nickname for him I love so I just call him that. I never refer to him by his given name.

My confession? I got an email that the bras I ordered arrived, so I ran home and put one on at lunch.

So far two coworkers have asked if I was wearing this shirt this morning and told me I looked nice. The girls look awesome in a good bra!

I could never watch MASH because it looks dirty.

I hate being in weddings. Hate it. I'm in number 9 in June and can't wait til its over. I adore the bride, but the planning when you only have one person helping is awful. I have a family to worry about. Not getting 30 people on board for a bachelorette party. Grrrrr

Here's mine: I watch MASH all the time and think that a younger Alan Alda was pretty hot. Now he looks like shiit as he's like 80 years old. So there's that...

I dread the day I get asked to be a bridesmaid/maid of honor. It's expensive, time consuming, and stressful.

That's awesome. We almost named our dog Radar but I didn't think it worked for a female. Did you know that Big Bird's teddy bear's name is Radar? (he always had his teddy bear on the show)

I too love MASH but growing up my Dad couldn't stand it.  He was a Korea war vet, didn't talk too much about the war but the show obviously wasn't a very accurate portrayal so he didn't really see the entertainment value in it.  DH frequently works MASH quotes or scenarios into daily conversation.

My confession is that I walked laps outside at lunch and now have sweat marks on my pits and underboob.  Classy.

I just was asked last night for the first time.  I don't know what it entails, but I happily accepted.  Clearly, I am naïve. 

I've always enjoyed being in weddings. I've never had a demanding bride, but it's always been fun to dress up and hang with friends.

I hate the name of my youngest. Like loathe it. We argued and argued about the name but after not sleeping for 48 hours after giving birth I gave in.

I call him baby or little one, but never his name. Clearly I need to grow up and suck it up because it's not that bad of a name but I hate it. Blerg.

I have never been in a wedding. I don't think I will ever be. That's ok with me. I loathe weddings. I really do.

I was not crazy about DDs name, but it was the only thing DH and I could even semi agree on. But now I'm glad we choose what we did, it just kinda goes good on her haha.

Haha, I think it totally depends on your friend. I've yet to be in a wedding that I regretted being in. Maybe it's because I didn't live in the same town as any of them when they got married or wasn't the maid of honor?

I mean, at this point, yes you have to move on since it's his name, but I'm sorry that sucks.

I can't imagine why one of you loathing a name wasn't an automatic veto during name discussion though. That doesn't seem fair at all.

On Sunday i watched friends episodes all day long!

CMSullivan326

I've never watched MASH.

I may or may not have just eaten almost an entire box of Kraft MacNCheese by myself. ::oinkmoo::

missyishere

I've been in 5 weddings as a bridesmaid. DH has been a groomsmen more than 5 times. I sure as shiit hope we're done with playing those roles.

[Deleted User]

I brought 6 lactation cookies to work and I have already eaten two.


The rest will be gone by 5, guarantee it.

RondackHiker

I want to know how MASH is dirty.

I agree wholeheartedly but my husband is pretty stubborn and it's a name that means a lot to him, so I gave in.

It's one of those names that requires careful enunciation and repetition. It's a common name in the UK but not at all common here. 

I'll get over it eventually!

I ate Mac and cheese with my fingers. Noodles fockers gave me no silverware with my takeout. Thankfully they gave me 4 napkins. WTF?

there is no shame in that, but I am mad at Noodles on your behalf.

Today is the closest I ever came to quitting my job. I bit my tongue and I'm feeling less mad about it, but I'm still plotting ways to get back at "the man" later this week by slacking off (more than I normally do).

I signed up at the gym a few weeks ago.  My kid will not stay in the gym daycare.  I've gone 2 whole times and that was only because someone else was watching him.  I'm not renewing for the month of May. 

I plan to get a DVD and try to exercise at home.

Well since we have a name theme going...I regret DD1's names. All of them. I had her name all picked out, then her dad fell in love with another name and I agreed to give her that as her first name. I was supposed to pick between the two names I'd previously chosen for her middle name but couldn't decide...so I hyphenated them. Which looking back was stupid. I also regret giving her her dad's last name. I really wish I'd given her mine. Especially since we now have 3 different last names (mine, DD1's, then DH & DD2's) in our household.

I was at that place 2 weeks ago.

The truth is, I'm at the point where I really need to move on. I'm frustrated because I know if I can find another job willing to make me an offer, there is a 90% chance my current company will match it. But I also know my current company won't match it unless I have an offer. It feels very messed up. I like my supervisor, but I'm frustrated she's not the type to really fight tooth and nail for promotions for her people. She's a very pleasant person which is great in terms of the way she manages, but not so good when it comes to her battling for resources.

Sorry about your sucky job situation though.

You should watch it. It is about war, so there are some dark moments and dark humor. But it's amazing and funny and there are wonderful characters.

That's what's holding me back from joining a gym (well, that and I can't afford $45/month + daycare fees though I'd make it work if I was really motivated). DS still sometimes doesn't like going to the church nursery and he's been going there for 2 years now. I don't think he'd handle the gym one well, though who knows.

A couple weeks ago Robin recommended Jackie Warner DVDs and I bought a couple - they're good 30 minute workouts. And the Jillian ones are pretty good.

I didn't step foot in my gym for six months.  It's $10/month and I figured it was cheaper to pay it than pay the sign up fees for (if) when I get motivated.  I do like the Jackie Warner and Jillian dvds - the only problem is that they don't come in my room and pour a bucket of water on me at 5 AM to get my butt out of bed and actually do the workout.  So, I'm still fat and it's my own darn fault.

But even the music at the beginning of the show upsets me.  I just can't.  Another one that's like this for me is Andy Griffith.  Can't watch it.  Too dirty.

Haha word. It's really hard for me when DS doesn't nap because otherwise I never really get a chance since by the time he goes to bed I just want to sit on my butt and veg. At least now that it's warm enough we can go for a walk so I get something in. I do like that Jackie Warner's that has 15-minute workout options. It's better than nothing.

I don't know why dirty is the word I use it just is.  Is gritty better?  Everything is fuzzy and depressing looking.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
