My son had his tonsils removed yesterday and xh swept into the surgery center like the typical Disneyland dad he is, showered my son with attention and gifts  ^o)

We left the center around 10:30am yesterday and I haven't heard from him since.  Dad of the year right there.

My boss' position is currently posted and I am considering applying for it. BUT... I am seriously doubting myself. I know I can do the day to day job duties, but I worry I don't have the people skills to be a successful manager. This is holding me back and it shouldn't be.

I have gained about 25 pounds in the last year. I need to exercise but I am limited to walking and upper body/arms because of a hip injury I'm getting treatment for. I feel so unhappy about my body. Lost two diet bets over it as well. It's like I can't put down the food. I gained 15 pounds since getting this new position and it is stressful.

Part of the issue was that I took diet pills and supplements to lose the 25 pounds previously and I think it really jacked my metabolism so now I'm paying for it. I am struggling with not buying any more pills that aid in weight loss but DAMN I feel fat.

I'm having trouble with my weight as well. I gained over 10 pounds between October and January and I am unable to loose them.

And today, I am so bloated (from anxiety meds) that I just want to go home and spend the evening laying on the floor until my belly is flat again. I am having dinner with a colleague and will go, but I'm not sure if I want to eat at all.

Sorry for everyone that is struggling with weight. I have struggled for many years with it also. I am in a good place right now. I am not were I want to be but I am happy with were I am. I started crossfit Oct 1 2014 and have lost over 60lbs. I eat what I want within reason and go to class 6 days a week most of the time. Since H & I split it has been harder since I have DD2 and can't go at 5AM like I like to but mentally I need it....

We went out last night for a birthday party and I had a few drinks...and walked into a pond. A smack dab in your face water up to my boobs pond. I'm super embarrassed about it- it had been raining all day and the pond had little green sprouts all over the top of it and looked like wet asphalt in the dark. I only had 2 drinks too so I can't even blame the alcohol. So embarrassing!

I'm sure it will be something you laugh about in the future at least!

I'm so sorry! That does sound embarrassing. But thank you for sharing -- picturing it made me LOL and I really needed it! Like jigsy said, you'll be able to laugh about it someday.

I love your falling into a pond story, bb. I sympathize, I REALLY DO, but my goodness that is of cinematic quality hilarity. A story that will be the hit of parties for years to come!

[boing]

I'm sure I'm going to laugh about it someday soon, everyone else is getting a kick out of it. J told me that was the wrong way and I was so confident that he was wrong ha. Apparently I'm the talk of the shop today, his coworkers think I'm hilarious. Also- when I got out I was covered in those stupid little green sprouts that were covering the top of the pond. Like in my hair and in my bra and in my purse - there was NO hiding what happened. I'm still too traumatized to ask if I screamed when it happened ?

That is an amazing weight loss! Congrats!
I also need to get myself back to the gym.

I went and rented and apartment today. Apparently STBX thought I wouldn't go through with it because when I got home he went to his room, closed the door, cried, then finally called and told his mom. Apparently me telling him I filed wasn't real enough.

LOL your STBX sounds like my X.

I'm so sorry but the imagine of him going to his room and crying and then calling his mom has me rolling. Lawd. I'm a bad person.

Now that we're within days of getting the divorce finalized (after a year and a half separation no less) my ex has been acting extra weepy about the finality about it. Dude.

Finally heard from him at 7pm tonight.  He's mad I didn't invite him over to my house to hang out.  LOL for days and days.

I've not used an online dating app since November because I liked the idea of meeting someone "organically." I also routinely tell others to get out there and meet people. There's a single event in my city this week and I cannot bring myself to pay the $30 for a ticket because it seems like a waste of time and effort since I highly doubt I'll meet anyone. I'm a hypocrite.

[glitzyglow]

Also, I read the quote, "What would you do if you weren't afraid?" and I legit started to cry. I need to conquer my fears or I am going to regret the fuck out of my lack of trying (not related to dating, but life).

I went out with guy last night and I'm really glad I did. He's fun. And we banged like a screen door in a hurricane.


I mostly made this post because I've been wanting to use that euphemism for days.

It's a really good one. I think I will look for an opportunity to use it myself.
