-I'm always confused when I see a couple and the guy is hotter than the girl. I am NEVER confused when the girl is hotter than the guy.
-Whenever someone I don't like gets pregnant, I always feel slightly like I win. When someone I LIKE gets pregnant (when they want to), I feel like they win.
-my Vegas dresses came in. They are all SUPER short. Like, I will have to stand all night. I am going to wear them anyway.

When I was single, I'd look at couples where one was much better looking than the other one, and ask myself why the less-attractive one found someone so hot when I couldn't even get a date. I did feel better about myself when I saw a couple where both were less attractive, and I'd tell myself that both were settling.
Next week is when I go to Disneyland with the family for the week. Normally DH would be going with me, but he hasn't got the PTO available, because at Christmas when he didn't go with me to my parent's house, he still took the time off of work. I'm sure it was because he didn't want anyone at work to think everything wasn't perfect with him, not that they would care. I'm a little mad that his being a bitch is still having repercussions, but I'm actually looking forward to spending the time away from him right now. He can be a stick in the mud sometimes, and this time I don't have to feel guilty that my dad pays for everything while we're there.
I think I AM #1. When I was married to XH we read an article about how in every relationship there's always a Reacher (who goes for someone out of their league) and a Settler. And he told me that he was the settler. Ass. Also, my current FI is also far more attractive than me. He'd just never admit it. Whatever guys, I just have a great personality okay!

I believe it! I just tend to think men are more superficial? Like, men go after hotness, women go after sweetness. Which is completely sexist of me and why it is flameful.
I have never dated a SUPER hot guy. Only guys at or slightly below my own level.
Studies have shown that couples where the woman is better looking are happier than when the man is better looking.
Okay, I am going to admit something even more flameful: A part of me is all, "How did she get him and why don't *I* get a super hot boyfriend?" Hmm, Jojo, maybe because looks aren't everything in a relationship? Superficial, party of one.

I'm just going to keep posting in here since I don't feel like working and you all are not helping.
-My friend that chose a last minute second trip to Mexico over going to our friend's 30th birthday that has been on the books for a year, is going to the lake this weekend. The lake is so full, the boat docks are inaccessible. It is supposed to rain today and HARD tomorrow. The damn may spill over if it does. I hope it does. And she has a terrible weekend. (This weekend is also the weekend 30th birthday friend is in town. She is choosing to go to an over-full rainy lake over seeing her as well). I also hope Mexico sucks and it rains/she gets stung by a jelly fish.
-H and I are having date night tonight. We have been talking for a MONTH about how we need to work on us and neither of us has done anything. I am slightly annoyed that *I* had to plan the date night and get the ball rolling. Then again, I feel I can hold this over him as proof *I* am trying.
-If MH ever made me choose my dogs or him, I would choose the dogs. I would choose my pups over Channing Tatum, though, so...
I am at universal with a friend and two of her friends. One of them put on a smokey eye, heavy foundation, and bright pink lips. Dude it's 96 degrees and humid as fuck. We are sweating like crazy, I don't get it.

boing-I find no part of YOUR stance flameful. Your brother sucks and that kid is going to be a holy terror in school. He will be that parent PISSED when his kid is expelled for being a bully.

@boing do you feel comfortable disciplining him? I would have put that little shit in his place. Sorry that happened!!
My flameful: I have a friend who is so damn negative and I have been avoiding her. I feel horrible because I am her only friend, but damn she brings me down, and her and my daughter are best friends. She invited herself out to dinner with the kids and I tonight and now I don't want to go :-(
I am finally going back to my maiden name today. I haven't been with exH for 5 years, and the divorce was official, like, 4 years ago. I'm just lazy. But in off today, so I went to the courthouse, and DMV is the next stop.
To be honest, I probably wouldn't change it, except I know it bothers Thor a little. I have no negative association with this name. But it means something to him, and it makes sense to do this now, before I start my new job. New job, new/old name.

I'm also too lazy to change my name. I wish I'd checked that box, but it was just easier to keep it. I know it makes J a little uncomfortable, but we're getting married in a year, I'll just change it then!
I had a semi identity crisis after my divorce, I remember posting about it here. But I'd been XH'slastname my entire adult life, and when I changed back to my maiden name on Facebook my dad called me and asked me why. So for a long time I felt like I didn't belong anywhere. Then I decided I just didn't care!
Should I ever divorce again, I'm changing my name to first name middle name and never changing it for anyone again.
I cannot fucking wait to change my name back; I should never have changed it in the first place. It will be a nice final little "fuck you" to stbx, too. lol

My company used to have a policy where managers could let their staff leave early on the Friday leading into a holiday weekend. They changed it a few years back because "it wasn't fair to hourly employees as they would either have to stay anyway or lose two hours of pay." My solution to that is to simply have managers manually adjust their time cards to accommodate this and add those two hour back in. I have a message in to HR to ask if we can do this for this holiday weekend because my staff managed the two biggest events at our college this month, all put in many hours of overtime (which all by two of my staffers don't get paid for because they are exempt) and 4 of them are working next Saturday (again all exempt so they don't get overtime or any extra compensation for that day). I am waiting to hear.
The flameful part? I copied our new president (my boss) because I don't think HR lady will say no with him cc'd.
I don't tend to date hot guys. I mean they are hot to ME and they are attractive generally, but universally hawt? No. My grandma's advice once was that "only one of you can be cute and it needs to be you." For some reason that has always stuck in my head.

My mom told me someone always loves more in a relationship, and it should never be you. I wonder why I am so cynical about love? I mean that advice with her four marriages and my dad's three marriages and three divorces, you would think I would be all "Yay! Love and marriage!"

Ha.
My exBF was really, really good looking. Not exaggerating when I say 9 out of 10 people who met him for the first time always commented on how good looking he was, including my male boss and several male friends. He was a model for a little while, but was super shy and didn't like people commenting on his looks.
I definitely didn't do anything super special to be with him lol. Just got lucky! The universe just works that way sometimes.
1confused1 no, I don't. J thought that I should've disciplined him as well, but I really don't feel that it's my place, he's not my kid and his parent was THERE.
It's really tricky disciplining someone else's child. It's my brother, so I know what he would do (if he bothered) but I can't for sure say that he'd be comfortable having me do the same thing, you know? I don't like it.
This is definitely a family dynamic thing. I know if DS was there and did something like that, my siblings would not hesitate to discipline him, even if I was right there

Off of your confession, boing, one of my vegas outfits is the two piece top and skirt. I feel like I look fluffy. I am small, but I feel my stomach looks soft rather than toned, ya know? So, I sent the pic of me in it to a few friends all, "Do I look fluffy?" and they all have responded with some version of, "No, you asshole." I'M NOT FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS! And I am convinced they are not being honest. I would rather my FRIEND say, "Yeah, not your best look" than wear an outfit and have people judging me behind my back.
I think we have the same friends. Mine are always like "you're not fat?!?!11 omg!" um. But I'm 20 lbs heavier and a larger pants size than I was last year. I am not my usual self and I know that they know that.

YES! I know they know I used to have abs. DON'T ACT LIKE I LOOK THE SAME! STOP LYING TO ME! I am going to send it to my asshole friend. He will be honest.

I'm sure you look fine in the outfit, but you probably won't be comfortable/confident in it, so I'd try to wear something else. We all have those outfits that aren't judge worthy, but still don't make us feel great, so it's best just to wear something that you feel like you look amazing in.
