I am secretly feeling abandoned by my friend who is spending most of her time with her new love and I no longer get the twice-daily recap phonecalls. I've been there, I should understand. But I just want some BFF love.

[culturehandy]

I feel like going to the bar, having a few drinky-poos and flirting my face off. Just because.

I told me former play thing that I was spending the weekend with another man to make him jealous, and there really isn't another mad.I'm just irritated by him. Tremendously.

I too love having our place to myself. The mister usually travels up to a week each month, but lately he's been at home all the time for, like, ever. He's off for a few days next week and I'm afraid to say I can't wait.

I'd be just like your friend raisin if it didn't hurt the mister's feelings...

I like my job, but I hate THE ASS SPREAD. I turn around and look in the mirror and it's like, who the hell does that ass belong to?! I think I have the reverse form of body dysmorphic disorder. I think my body is smaller than it really is. Sitting on my ass most of the day ain't no fun.

Lucizoe, one of my friends is so funny about her husband. She's always joking that he should go away for a week, two weeks, even a month. "Go far away for a long time!" she'll say. I think she likes to have the house to herself, too, and a couple of days or weeks away is nothing when they've been together as long as they have. I think it's natural.

I'm on the flip side of the aforementioned phone phobias - I love talking on the phone, but I can't stand having to take messages for other people. I've been a receptionist for most of my working years, and since I took messages and stuff for other people all day, I've been loath to do that during my free time.

Working in a women's clothing store also took away my love for shopping for several years.

Funny, huh?

[lucizoe]

Me too on the phones. Being a receptionist for a bit made me realize that I'm only uneasy with the phone if it's a call made relating to me in any way. Answering for other people, taking messages, etc., not a problem. I did quit when I started getting an RSI from an unrelated task.

Confession - I hate that I can be such a pushover when it comes to my own health and happiness. I hate that it's not just me, it's a trend among women because we are conditioned to always delay our own needs and put others first.

Confession - Confession 1 is an enormous reason behind my decision to stay non-childed. All that sacrifice does not appeal.

Confession - I am not at all sad that my mother-in-law is actually giving Mr.Luci and I the silent treatment, a la fifth grade playground antics. I laugh in her general direction. We are now taking bets as to how long she will hold out.

Confession - As much as I'm sad for the man that he has to go to France for work at a remarkably inconvenient time, and having to do two long flights almost back-to-back, I'm really looking forward to having a few days to myself. I know it's okay to want alone time, but I still feel guilty. See confession 1.

Confession, I think that some of my coworkers are so fucking useless, and I would love to tell them to their face.

I have done that and believe me it will make you feel better, culture!

Confession, I am nervous about going to get my taxes done, tonight. The IRS has been unkind to us in the past.

[culturehandy]

(((gumbie))))

Confession, I think that some of my coworkers are so fucking useless, and I would love to tell them to their face.

Confession, I have become obsessed with itunes.

Confession, I love strange facts, especially those about death and sex.

Confession, I go through bust magazine and lounge withdrawl. I love it here so much!

My milkshake: I quit a job once because of the stress of answering the phone was too much for me to handle. That would really be a great class to take, sort of like public speaking but for phones. I'd sign up.

confession: I'm not cut out to be a bridesmaid and regret saying yes to my engaged friend, even though she is really low maintenance.

second confession: I'm really lonely because my boyfriend is obsessed with his artwork. Even when we spend time together he is emotionally absent.

[mymilkshake]

I have not post a message in months in the lounge, but this thread is excellent..

I read most of the thread, is so liberating, i can relate to so many of you (hey, I saw a website some time ago that features post cards with confessions written on them from different people in the world.. i cannot remember the website, i will come back to post it later, probably all of you have seen it already..)

my confession today: I read in some old posts about fear of the phone.. I hate to answer or speak on the phone at work so much it causes me stress and it is an actual obstacle for my performance at work. I think it is a combination of not speaking perfect english (not my native language) and being afraid that my coworkers realize I really don't know what I am doing at work. I will try to communicate strictly by email and I wonder if there is a class on phone protocol..

[wombat]

Scary and fun! They will ask you to verify that you wrote it (to avoid pranks) and then, seeing your name in print is great!

Congratulations!

[freckleface2727]

I confess that I just submitted a writing piece to the local paper here in town and am now freaking out.

I sent it to the Opinions Editor, w/ a note asking that if this is not the appropriate place to please direct it otherwise if it wasn't too much trouble.

It's a good piece, I know it is, the mr read it and deemed it beautiful and while yes he's my mr he is also one tough cookie as a critic.

oy vey. it's like leaving your child at school on their first day.

!!!!!!!

[wombat]

Ye know, I think it's lovely to think you are lovely, cause when I've known women who have said "I'm so muggly!" they have usually ended up being catty.

have fun with it.

[erinjane]

culture, I do that all the time. I've grown to accept my vanity, because dammit, i'm hot!

confession: i really really really want my mom right now. (She's in florida till the 22nd)

[Beauty & her...]

missladyj: KEEP IT UP! You're doing awesome. Enjoy smelling like a shower loooooong after you shower. Something that helped me was a) comit lozenges and I went out and bought myself a fancy shampoo and soap so i would have incentive to not smoke myself up.



confession: I did slip up today though. I had an all day training for work and after the first 3 hours we were out of coffee and tea. I was dying and it helped keep me awake...but i tasted like a smoke house the rest of the meeting. yuck.


Madame of the Pug Puppies: we were totally eying up the liberator....buuuuuut...i'm living with my parents to save money right now and he's in college, which means he's home for the summer. I don't know how long i could pass the liberator off as "stretching equipment" (especially the one with the restraints built in...mmmmmm) And I know what you mean about the leg cramps. those are the worst! you can't do anything but laugh. the worst is when you're 'stuck' in the position and have to unhook and buckle. what a pain.

[culturehandy]

I confess; I am really vain. I went out to the bar last weekend, and I kept on looking in the vanity mirror (how appropriate a name), and thought "fuck, I am so fucking gorgeous". Then I realized how bitchy I sounded.

[missladyj]

I quit smoking and went on a diet at the same time. Did a nine day detox ( just no meat, cheese, white flour, fast food, alcohol etc) it was alot of brown rice, veggies fruit and beans but I am TOTALLY JONESING FOR A SMOKE! I just want one, one cigarette.

Hubby and I are doing it together. the one thing I have found is that the detox has made me really really horny, not a bad side effect.

so far no cigarettes in like 11 days even had my friends over for a poker game and two of them smoke. I somehow managed to not have a cigarette.

[girltrouble]

goddamn you, lmpugs! now i have to go to work knowing that you've posted but i can't see it till i get home! (i have a no-bust lounge policy at work) argh! you are such a tease... oh and i love it....
can't wait!!!!

I think you are on the right track for everything you want. Mr. Pugs is a big boy too (hehehe) and he’s tall and overweight as well lol. We have problems doing some things in the sack. We both get leg cramps in mid thrust and one of us is always like “Stop, stop, stop leg cramp!” and falls out of the bed onto the floor to stretch. We usually just laugh and finish on the floor. Some positions are very uncomfortable. I’ve heard that the liberator shapes are supposed to help with that, especially with overweight people. We were going to buy them for Christmas and then I lost my job and funds were kind of tight so we pushed our purchase date back, maybe Valentines Day. Maybe, you could join a fitness club together. You can work on your smoking weight and he can work on his shaking muscles and wincing. I’ve recently discovered that you can get a hell of a work out from sex. REALLY!! And, if you really enjoy yourself it will change your self-esteam a little. Mr. Pug and I have recently discovered some new things about each other and we have gotten a little obsessed with spending a lot of time in bed together. I’m in such a good place right now. Probably cause I’m getting laid so much. I’ve even started to care a little more about my looks, you know like makeup and nicer clothes, eating a little better and taking the stairs at school instead of the elevator. Notice how many times I said “a little” in the last few sentences. I’m not going crazy or anything TRUST ME!! I quit smoking May 26, 2006 and I put on some weight as well. This time I didn’t put on anything extreme though. I was lucky. When did you quit? Congratulations, that’s a real accomplishment. I’ve been craving chicken wings like crack. Mr. Pugs is getting tired of making Wings-2-Go runs for me. Good Luck with Weight Watchers. You’ll like it. Go to the meetings. They always seemed pointless to me but it seems like I always gave up once I stopped going to the meetings. So maybe not so pointless.

girltrouble-

lol, I got story for you. See you in the Fun with Floggers thread sometime today.

wombat-

My feet take the brunt of my weight as well. My sister is a massage therapist and she laughs when I see her cause I’m always like, “Will you rub my feet please?” She says I carry all of my stress there. She’s always trying to get me to relace my shoelaces when I put my shoes on instead of just slipping them on. She says it gives you more support and my feet wouldn’t hurt so badly.

[wombat]

Yeah, I gots to say, I'll shoot for a size 10, not for something smaller.

I honestly need to eat right and exercise and pretty much am doing it and welcome the support I get.

I'm cool with chub but my feet do not agree.

Let's just kinda shoot for that middle range.

****

I look kinda like mom and kinda like dad althogh it is startling to see dad peeking out now and then. my dad had blonde hair and blue eyes and my mom brown hair and brown eyes. I came out with blonde hair and green eyes.

genetically, you can inherit traits from a couple generations back. If ya ever saw those diagrams of chickens in the science textbooks.

Which I guess is also why my black cat gave birth to black, white, grey tabby and calico kittens..
