RE: Confessions

janey831 · Kate Spade

Even though I tell everyone I am over my ex boyfriend, I still "e-stalk" him. It pisses me off to no end that he is with the woman he claimed he was just friends with during the end of our relationship, and now has a child with her. Icing on the cake? The kid looks just like him.

Go for it, Colette! The drunken sloth lost any sympathy I might have felt when he was so mean about your little pumpkin-butt cat. Hope she's alright.

This is an ooooooollllllllldddddddd divorce confession, but when I was going through mine (husband had cheated), here's the mean thing I did. He had a job where every winter he had to be away from home quite a lot, and one winter he had a big affair. So I told him to take a hike, and he was all sorry, sorry, it won't ever happen again blah blah, and he tried to just take a few of his things each trip home in order to prolong everything. His vision was that I was just angry and hurt, and I would get over it and take him back and everything would be rosy, and why make a lot of extra work by having to move everything back. So I told him to come with a moving van or whatever he wanted to arrange, and take whatever he wanted to take (we had been married for twelve years and had a housefull of stuff), but that it had to be a one-time deal, no coming back for anything else. So he shows up in his new girl friend's convertible, and all he took were his records. So I sold a bunch of his stuff (he had a home gym and a lot of tools), but lo and behold, in his closet were all these shirts that were his pride and joy, that had little metal buttons. So I took them outside and burned them in the driveway. A few days later I was sitting on the deck and he showed up (in his own car) all sorry and hangdoggy, and asked about his shirts. So I reminded him of the arrangement and told him I burnt them. He didn't believe me until he saw all the little melted, distorted buttons lying in the gravel. I wish you coulda seen his face. Snort. I still get off on it.

This is too good- I can just picture it perfectly. Melted distorted treasured buttons, hehehehehehe.

Just a small one - I cheated on my "Lent" arrangement over the weekend :(

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

I had a dream about this insanely hot guy I used to hook up with in college. It's so weird because it's been years since I've even thought of him. The dream wasn't erotic or anything, he was just there, but now I can't get him out of my head. Doesn't help that I found him on facebook and he's somehow even hotter than he was then...

night shade , this made me laugh outloud...made my day. thanks

:( I'm sorry, feeling betrayed is the worst feeling. I hope you get a great guy to share your future with.

Kincali, your sentiments are so true. It's not worth being bitter over someone else's betrayal, man or woman. Best to move on with your life and don't waste your time on them.

Sorry you have to go through that Janey

i let my kids watch way too much tv (i.e. dora, blues clues, thomas, etc.) in general. i used to be really cognizant about the amt of tv that they watch, but now that we are living in a tiny little temporary two bedroom apt w/o all of their big toys, i've been slacking and letting them watch way too much. even worse, i do it so that i can get on the internet, like right now . . . wow i am terrible. i must step away from the computer and do activities with them today (a snow day) - such as playdough, games, tea parties, etc. i feel so bad b/c i love my kids sooo much.

I already do this!! Kate is only 5 months old and she watches Franklin while I get dressed in the mornings. She doesn't watch it consistently, but if she drops her toy or gets bored with the mobile-tye things on the bouncy seat...she watches! Otherwise, it would take me two hours to get dressed everyday.

Don't feel bad!! And those shows really are amazing, I used to babysit a girl that learned so much from those shows.

AND...you have to read this blog post......

thanks for the blog link, kari! that's hilarious! i appreciate the support too. i'm just feeling like i'm doing it a bit excessively lately. it's one thing to let them watch tv so you can take a shower, another so that you can surf the internet - you know?!

Definitely don't feel bad. I think my daughter has seen every Dora episode in existence and she has changed Gabby's (our dog's), name to Yo Gabba Gabba, which is her other favorite (and mine, too!). I also felt bad until I realized how much she was learning from these shows. She sings the songs and does the dances and could count to 10 in Spanish before she was 2. She's learned lots of other stuff, too - most of these shows are really geared to their development and actually work.

Thanks! yeah, now that i think about it they have learned a lot from their shows. they do really well with any verbal skill.

I'm not divorced yet.............but I have a new boyfriend.

I refer to my future ex as the drunken sloth. But only to the dog.

Ahhh. Good for you. I want one too, it's hard to be alone going through this!

My confession: I am 33 and I have a huge crush on my kids Little Gym instructor, who's a college student and all of 23 at the most. He's been at Little Gym for a year and I just started taking interest. He's tall, he's hot, he's kind, he plays guitar for the kids, he's super attentive with my kids in particular, which is such a big deal because so many people even my age just don't get little kids. I overheard him telling another mom that him and his girlfriend just broke up and I was all like, yay! until I remembered what completely different points of life we are both in. And I can't even keep eye contact with him because I feel so awkward and foolish. wtf?

Kelly · Hermes

My confession is...I haven't been to the gym for like a week. BF and I go to the same gym and we drive together. He's been sick this week and hasn't been up to a heavy duty workout, so I haven't been going to the gym either. I keep telling myself that I need to go home after work and make dinner for him and tend to him and make him feel better...but the real reason is that I'm lazy and his sickness is a good excuse for me not to go, either. Because he is obviously not going to die if I'm gone for an hour at yoga.

I don't think you should be embarassed! You've been thinking about implants for a while now, right? This was a smart thing to do, so you can go into the plastic surgeon's office with a clear idea of what you want!

Thanks Kelly,it has help me decide that I want them.

Suasoria · Chanel

I just want to say yay! to everyone entering into, or considering, a new love. Where there's life there's hope! No shame in your game!

nightshade · Nine West

Exactly. Besides, look at it this way: you don't have to worry about whether the two of you will be rocking on the porch in your golden years. Take it for what it is: fun in the here and now. Maybe that's more of a guy point of view but I think there can be a lot of fun in a sweet fling that goes nowhere. No harm, no foul.

My shameful confession: I've been reading Twilight. It's horrible and I hate it, but I can't stop reading it. I hate the role the girl plays in the book and I hate all the "don't have sex" crap, but I just can't stop reading hoping they'll kiss again! I'm sad and pathetic. I'll probably delete this sooner rather than later.

OH GOD. I did the same thing. My excuse is that it was the only book in English that I'd heard of when I was looking for a book to read in Rome. But UGH, I tore through it. I didn't make it through the next one though. ashamed
