We will never get out of debt. We will be paying for law school forever, and although H is in finance, he is so shitty with money. I'm so jealous when people are all paid up on credit cards, I have no idea what my credit score is because I just stopped paying them. I didn't like it.
I'm looking on a real estate website, fantasizing about getting a larger house and came across one that is cute on the outside. Then I looked at the inside and think "pretentious". These people have a kitchen island thing...in their walk-in closet.

I hate my student loan debt because it's 50k and it didn't come with a degree. If I want to finish a degree I'll probably have to incur a couple more years worth of student loan debt, which I'm not looking forward to, but I suppose it's better than paying off the debt for nothing. We'll be paying that off for the next 20 years, but after that the remainder is forgiven assuming I apply for income-based repayment this year.
We also have credit card debt (which is soon to be eliminated if all goes well, thankfully), his student loan debt (which isn't too bad), and DH's personal debt with his parents. We never see the money that goes toward his student loans or his parents anyway, since they're automatically subtracted from every paycheck he gets so we don't even worry about those ones.
Any transaction that has a lingering balance I consider to be debt. Student loans, credit cards, things on payment plans (like major purchases on store accounts, medical bills, etc.), car payments, house payments, and so forth... But like Jelly, I consider the "worth" of the debt, with credit card debt generally being the worst.

Mystery cookie delivery is no longer a mystery; I just had to eat a cookie to find the card. In case you were wondering, @Rogue237 is pretty much one of the best people ever.
@j&nl happy birthday! I'm sorry you aren't in a Good mood.
Thanks. I'm only being poopy today because DH isn't home yet. We will celebrate when he finally gets back. He's supposed to take me skeet shooting so I'm pretty excited about that.
@kendracole I thought you were going to cut your hair and dye it blonde? Did you do it? Or were you kidding and I was just dumb?
No, I did it! I need probably one more highlighting session before I'm satisfied with the level of blonde. And I already hate having short hair. It's just not me. Here it is, if you care haha
I totally feel you on hating having short hair. I mean look at my avatar FFS! I'm meant to have long, luscious, sexy hair!
I've pretty much decided we will be paying off debt the rest of our lives because once we have it paid off, there will always be something else to set us back. So we might as well have some fun doing it!

I love it!!! I know what you mean about length but it really does look good on you. You got BALLS. that's a big change. I haven't changed my toenail color in over a year.
I've never imagined an expiration date on me and bf's relationship but I'm starting to. I feel like he doesn't respect me and so in turn I disrespect him. I'm not happy at home unless it's just Dylan and I. I always feel sad when leaving work on the days I know he has no place to be after I get home because I don't want to even be around him.

I hear you. I actually told DH the other day I was thinking of divorce. But a coworker (with a 4 yr old) told me the first six months of her daughter's life were the hardest on her relationship. Maybe it's time to sit down and talk about things?

Maybe. I think I'm just gonna step back mentally for a while so that things won't get heated when we decide to talk. I just feel like no matter what I do or say and how I say it he'll accuse me of being defensive.

Been there. (((Hugs))) because I don't really have advice or anything. I hope things get better soon for you.

I really hope you and your husband don't end up getting divorced

His work schedule changes next week and he'll finally be home more. Hopefully that helps! We both have stuff we need to work on. But thanks!

That's good. I'll pray for you guys. What your coworker said gave me a little hope.
Hugs @deidremaria and @Emily041285. Babies make relationships hard. We hit a rough patch for a few months after DS1 and another (not as rough patch) after DS2. I hope things get better for you guys.
The first year of my daughter's life was also the hardest year of mine and DH's marriage. Learning to be parents together is freaking hard, especially when one or both aren't getting adequate sleep. I hope for the best for both of you @deidremaria and @Emily041285. ((Hugs))

You guys are gonna make me cry. I'm so glad to be back and be able to vent to you all who have been through this/understand. None of my friends have kids or are in serious relationships so there's nothing much that they can say to make me a little optimistic. My twin is super protective of me so venting to her will just make the holidays end up being tense. All of you are giving me that bit of encouragement I need to try and make it work.
I basically said all that to say that I'm so freaking glad I got my internet back
@pineconey I hope things get easier soon! I miss your face!
This. And everyone, actually. There's so much to catch up on but sooooo much vacationing to do. Decisions decisions.
Currently on a friend's backporch, scratching their dog's head while hubster and friend are out grabbing our favorite Mexican food. Merriwether is down and I have my favorite ginger beer in hand.
Ahhhh Portland. I fucking love it here and never want to back to Cinci (sorry @mom2boxers).
I'll keep updating and trying to respond here as much as possible.
Big creepy internet hugs and kisses and chocolate chip cookies to those in need.
Here's a random thought. I usually don't care about celebrities' personal lives but I kinda wish Seal and Heidi Klum hadn't split. Came to mind because I was just listening to "kiss from a rose" and was thinking "damn, they were hot together"

I just had a complete hysterical crying meltdown from our lack of sleep this week. He just stared at me with huge eyes like holy crap mom has lost it.
