Wed Confessions/Randoms

[gringachef]

I am online shopping for a new Christmas tree. We bought our 7ft tree the first year we were in our old house (9 years ago)! & while it's beautiful I would really like a 10 ft tree because we have 14 ft ceilings in this house.

I really want a burger and fries. Like right now. I think I can get my husband to pick one up shortly.

This is the daily special at our favorite burger place - YUM!

Grassfed beef w/ white cheddar, roasted yellow tomato, basil mayo, sautéed bok choy & kale

I want to buy a new tree. DH and DS love the multicolored light tree we currently have. I kind of want to set it on fire. Although, I saw a tree at Costco that can do both types of lights. So I'm tempted to buy it and then alternate years between colored and white lights.

[glw]

I love Halloween and Thanksgiving and loathe Christmas. We can skip directly to New Year's Eve, thankyouverymuch.

Thanks to a post on this board, I finally made an apt to have lower eyelid surgery in January. I'm a little nervous but so excited. I've been self conscious for years about my eyes and I'm not getting any younger. I'm so excited!!! I will post before and after's.

I would love a taller tree. I think we have a 6 foot and our ceilings where put the tree are probably 20 feet high.

Somehow, the bank took out our car payments twice, which has totally fucked our account until DH gets paid Friday. Now I have to deal with the bank and figure out why two went out at once. So fucking annoying.

I just put out my Thanksgiving/fall decorations. I can't even start thinking about Christmas yet!

[ilovebed]

H and I both love Christmas. He might be even more in to it than I am. He practically has an excel spreadsheet of all the Christmas movies he wants to watch, and when. But we're not allowed to start until after Thanksgiving. He has a lot of rules.

I haven't worn make up in days because I'm so lazy in the mornings. My skin looks horrible today...I'm all broken out for some reason. And I am having coffee with someone today who might end up being a good referral source for me. I look totally unprofessional and sloppy -_-

[heliocentric]

I am not usually a binge eater, but today after eating peanut butter cups I tore into a bag of chips (a big bag) and ate nearly half. I have no idea what's going on.

It's a beautiful day here and I'd like to sit on the porch since there aren't many days left for that, but it seems yellow jackets have built a nest somewhere out there and there are 15+ inside (screened porch).

And I invited the IL's to be part of our family pictures on Sunday. DH said she's stressing out on what to wear because I only told her on Monday. She should be glad I invited them period considering she has no pictures of me, DH and DS. She has two pictures of DH and DS together from several of our previous family photo sessions and then some of just DS.

I don't have a Christmas tree; I've never put one up since we always travel and spend Christmas with my family.

[ilovebed]

My other confession is that I'm like obsessively excited about the Live Wiz performance in December. Peter Pan and Sound of Music were bad. So bad. I love all the performers caste for the Wiz...I feel like they all actually know how to perform for a live show and it's going to be SOOOO good. I thought H was going to make fun of me but he said he was excited too! I guess my choir teacher wasn't the only one to set us up in front of The Wiz when we had a sub.

[callmehales]

i'd put up my christmas tree this weekend if DH wouldn't give me a stare.

[jm1211]

Since we're talking Christmas, I've decided I'm buying all new decor this year. I've always done traditional red, green and gold but I'm sick of it. This year I'm going with white, gold and black. It's sounds weird but I promise it's not.


PDQ - I'll likely delete this part.

On the topic of confessions, today I was reminded why I can't stand SIL and keep away from her.

I dread the holidays because it opens up discussions about having to hang out with them and I HATE that I'm the one who chooses to be the graceful bigger person plus dealing with the guilt H feels over his family.

[joyhart02]

I think I am going to make the investment to sell LuLaRoe. My h and I have to talk it over a bit more but I think I am going to do it!

Buy a big one. I think ours might be 8 or 9 feet. It's obnoxious and totally great. I usually put it in front of the window but may change it up this year so I can get good light into my living room for my photography.

I have no confessions. I was so hungry I just ate an apple in the waiting room of the dentist. I may have apple in my teeth. I'm a disaster.

My bank did this with my insurance payment. So frustrating!

Me 3.

gringachef she's something else. We haven't spoken in 4 years if that's any indication of what our relationship is like. Today she decided she needed H to give her money for a decision she made for MIL (not health related) and sent H a text saying "I need X dollars ASAP"

I could probably get a group of girls together and "deal with her"
Jk...., but Not really.

[bethaboo]

I love the black and white and gold decorations jm1211 !

We officially bought our first house today and my realtor (who's also my cousin) brought a bottle of champagne. We did not drink very much at the office but I'm planning on finishing the bottle tonight.

You rang?

Stands up next to gringachef and @natariru.

I've taken on a big project at work that is outside of my expectations work load and part of me is excited because it's actually in line with things I'm more passionate about, but most of me is kinda wishing it fails (wishing we don't get the funding to do it), because I know once it's up and running, my boss will likely shit all over it and ruin it all.

Andplusalso, I feel stupid for taking it on because if it DOES work out, I'm afraid I'll be too far into it and too invested in it as "my project" that it'll cause me to want to stay on at a job that I know for my sanity can not be longer than a year.

Ugh.

It has been in the 70s here all week, I cannot even think about Christmas decor. I did hang up my favorite Thanksgiving door decoration on Sunday though.

I miss our old house, we had a two story entry and always had a ten foot plus tree. Our new house barely fits a five foot tree. It makes me sad. So now I try to find the fattest tree possible. We don't put the tree up until the second week of December because my husband insist on a live tree and he is Russian Orthodox so it stays up until at least the second weekend in January.

We have that tree! It's awesome!
