    HA! For Mother's Day, I asked to go camping. Now my hubby HAS to take me. Win! (And I already booked the camping spot... >:) )

    So are you going "glamping"? Or actual sleep in a tent, cook over a fire camping? I grew up with the latter. We LOVED camping as kids! Play in the woods and creeks all day, help cook food over an open fire, sleep in sleeping bags in a tent. When I got older I realized what a load of work that was for my mom and all the other moms there. Camping should be fun; not work. We did cabin camping when our kids were young. I was a much more lazy mom I guess. But, the kids had fun and no one got eaten by a bear.

    The hard hitting questions

    Sometimes, I have to ask the hard hitting questions.

    Uh oh, people are getting upset! I thought there was something wrong with the thread. I guess I've never seen a thread with that many posts and no avatars. Careful - that might get you banned and we all wouldn't want that!

    If it gets to hot, maybe I'll go as SecretAgentLemonade

    Well, you're going to have to alert us if you change your name because like I've said before, I cannot even keep up with your avatars! What is this new one? I'll have to go look on your profile page...

    Thank you! Is this related to anything in particular? Some new story line I'm unaware of?

    Today the EA in our office tried to make me feel bad about now working late with the other due to my acupuncture appointment. It didn't work because those appointments are the only reason I'm as happy and positive day in day out in my job (politics).

    My confession: I wanted to drop kick said EA as soon as she opened her mouth about it in front of my boss. I am going to my appointment! I am not paying the $50 fee to miss it dammit... yah I really need to go today. >.>

    It's related to Dr Evil from Austin Powers. Please watch this trilogy.

    I confess I felt like a horrible person yesterday because all of my family and friends live in Northern IL where the tornadoes hit and I didn't even know about it until a friend texted me while it was happening. When I pulled up a live map, the tornado was 3 miles from my family's house (which was hand-built by my grandpa and doesn't have a basement) so needless to say, I was freaking out. They were fine, thankfully. I couldn't imagine if something happened to them and I was completely oblivious :(

    McDonalds is my weakness. I have been doing good lately. But today. Today I ate Mcdonalds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I am so far over my calories I'm ashamed. Exercise cant even bring me back to the right level now. I want to just delete today's diary so no one sees how much of a pig i was today.

    Today is just one day. You can factor in a McDonald's meal here and there along with your other foods. Moderation.

    I am spoiled when it comes to that. We bought a used camper and I will haul it wherever we want to go stay. Tried the camping on the ground thing, not my thing. I have to have a bed and a toilet. I would never make it with actual "roughing it".

    Well, that's not cool at all. This is why I do not talk about my personal life in my work environment. Sure, it's nice to have co-workers who are also friends, but I don't like anyone knowing about my personal life because it always seems to come back to bite you.

    Or, is it because it was an acupuncture appt.? Some people don't take that seriously if they personally don't believe in it. Still wrong for someone else to bring it up. Not their business.

    I went to my HR department to get insurance information about something, you know because HR should be confidential right? to my surprise a week later, there was a collection taken up, I was so mad, but spent the crap out of that money. jerks.

    Just an observation, but why don't people with disabilities have avatars?

    It must be a side effect! Lol

    My daughter is blind, she makes the best blind jokes. People with physical disabilites usually have an excellent sense of humor, as well as being tough as nails.

    Oh, and she does CrossFit!

    My brother is epileptic and he usually just shakes all my terrible jokes off.

    ...don't laugh ... Don't...laugh... :D
    You're terrible

    My kind of camping takes place within the Hilton branded hotels. :smile:

    Confession: I saw a lady running at the gym today with no bra on, just a camisole. Though she wasn't big-boobed, I still couldn't help but think how uncomfortable I would feel doing that!

    Yeah, even if she was small busted that is inappropriate for the gym. Working out at home like that is fine, but in public? No. I'm not a prude or anything I just think that's way too much of a "wardrobe malfunction" possibility.

    In my old gym there was a ladies only section where I would do weights. this one lady came it wearing a yellow tennis outfit (skirt included). This lovely lady felt the built-in bra was sufficient but you could still see the brown of her nipples. She then proceeded to do leg presses and you got the full show... At least none of the guys saw her but it was still awkward.

    I confess that I tried on a tank top last night, then came home and almost immediately tried out @BZAH10's shoulder work out. I used 2.5lb weights and quite literally felt the burn.

    Welcome to the club! Hope you'll join us (err.. think it's just me at this point) making the non-perky shoulder workout video. :)

    Yes please! I have broad shoulders but very doughy arms. I'll be the asthmatic girl in the way back, struggling to keep up.

    Trust me, you won't be struggling to keep up if I'm the instructor. However, you may well be hypnotized by the batwings flapping away merrily on my twiggy arms.

    That's it. I'm totally in on this. Shoulder workout commences tonight! (I remember the routine, but how often was this going down?)

    Too bad I can't get away with doing it at work. That would be a much more productive use of my time most days.

    I admit I started incorporating this into my workout as well :)

    Did mine tonight.

    And you're now in the video too ;)

    sounds good - the sucky thing is, is that I can see the definition but it is still hiding a bit behind the bingo wings... *sigh* 20lbs to go and I should be good!

    I didn't check your age but I think wings might just be something inevitable for some of us.

    I've never been overweight but I remember doing tricep exercises in my 30s to try and fix the wing thing. To no avail.

    My new strategy is to develop killer deltoids to distract the viewer from the wings.

    I wonder if the thread has hit the too big point, and they need to start a part II? Mods have done it with others, like the ice cream thread.

    Can someone let me know if you all decamp to a part II thread, so I don't get left behind

    I'm unsure what it really was to be honest, when it's all said and done we finish work technically a hour before my appointment. My job is 24/7 but our office hours are 9 to 4:30, I think she was just ticked she had to work late on Friday and I got the brunt of it.

    If it really was because it was Accupunture then I have no words, our benefits cover it and I am going to enjoy being stuck with needles! Lol

    My confession for the day: Thursday is the only night of the week where I don't have to be somewhere, and last night I wasted it watching....


    Alex Cross


    That movie is freakin' terrible! I rarely sit down and watch a movie and I was hugely disappointed with this one. The acting was terrible, the writing was so stilted. I am usually not very judgemental at movies, but blech! Other super terrible movies (I think we've done this once before, but oh well): The Truman Show, The Village, Sex Tape - didn't finish that one, too stupid.

    @quiksylver296 The Truman Show?! You hate that movie?! I'm starting to rethink our pretend internet friendship. :wink:

    Yep, Mo, almost got up and walked out of the theater. So, so, so bad. But, for totally cheesy but still love it, how about Crybaby with Johnny Depp? So bad, it's good. Or the fourth Indiana Jones - and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I love that one because they spoof on themselves. So funny!

    I love Crybaby. I haven't seen it in forever, but I pretty much love anything with Johnny Depp.
    With a few exceptions I can't seem to bring to mind now.

    The movie Chocolat is pure porn. Not only does it have chocolate, it has Mr. Depp

    Confession: I'm at work, on MFP forums with my work pc, and watching Hulu on my tablet. 2 hours to go, that should get me all caught up on Backstrom.

    2nd Confession: I haven't been called for the job I applied for last week, but it's still posted online so they're probably waiting until it closes, but why wouldn't they want to get a head start on interviewing me? Aside from my hulu watching on a friday afternoon, I'm very good at what I do.

    Go take a look at *my* diary today! Go on, it's public. That should show you that nobody's perfect. :) Log it and move on! (erm, depending on your time zone, it may or may not display the right day's diary, so... It's 11 PM on the 10th of April here right now.)

    Confession: My shoulders are sore, and I blame @BZAH10 and @ythannah. I mean that in the nicest way possible. :)

    Awesome! This makes me unreasonably happy. I guess this is the first time in a long time I feel like I've actually helped someone else.

    I kind of think of you as the fairy godmother of this thread... You are kind and always take time to interact with people who have deep or out there stuff going on. I think you've helped a lot of people here.

    I feel the same way. @BZAH10 makes such an effort to post helpful replies to so many people on here and remember all kinds of details from prior posts.

    And for some weird reason I found this on page 3?? Might be a MFP glitch (or might just be what I'm seeing) but new posts don't seem to be updating the last post time.

    Thank you BOTH for the kind words! That really means a lot to me. Seeing as how this is a "confessions" thread, I'll just say that I'm going through a phase IRL right now where I'm not feeling useful or beneficial to anyone. I kind of just slog through each day, one foot in front of the other, and deny that I'm kind of unhappy and just go through the motions.

    Perhaps I'm over-compensating here, but I do love this thread: I love the pace, the variety, the topics, and all the great peeps! Real and marshmallow! Anyway, thanks again.

    Sorry you feel that way IRL, here I think your posts are great!

    Thank you. I'm at a crossroad: do I make some personal changes and see where it goes (could be better; could be worse)? Or do I just keep living my mediocre life? I know the grass always looks greener on the other side until you get there, so I just don't want to make the wrong decision. But, no risks, no rewards, right?

    I read a quote recently that reminded me of myself: "My decision-making skills resemble that of a squirrel crossing the street."

    Interesting... my husband and I are at a crossroads like that. We live in a city where there are good jobs and lots of money but not a lot to do for people who are dinks (Double Income No Kids). We have considered moving across the country where we are closer to the Eastern US so we can explore all the different cities out that way but the jobs and $$ is just not as good. I also want to start trying for a baby soon and feel bad for my parents/his parents if were were to leave b/c they would be missing out. It's such a hard balance some times. Do you stay where you are b/c it's comfortable and you know how green the grass is or do you take the risk and chance it? It's always hard.

    Yep, Mo, almost got up and walked out of the theater. So, so, so bad. But, for totally cheesy but still love it, how about Crybaby with Johnny Depp? So bad, it's good. Or the fourth Indiana Jones - and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I love that one because they spoof on themselves. So funny!

    I love Crybaby. I haven't seen it in forever, but I pretty much love anything with Johnny Depp.
    With a few exceptions I can't seem to bring to mind now.

    Charlie and the Chocolate factory. He looks way too creepy in that...

    The movie Chocolat is pure porn. Not only does it have chocolate, it has Mr. Depp

    I wanted to hate this movie, because I love the original, but I ended up really liking it and use quotes from it semi-regularly.

    McDonalds is my weakness. I have been doing good lately. But today. Today I ate Mcdonalds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I am so far over my calories I'm ashamed. Exercise cant even bring me back to the right level now. I want to just delete today's diary so no one sees how much of a pig i was today.

    Go take a look at *my* diary today! Go on, it's public. That should show you that nobody's perfect. :) Log it and move on! (erm, depending on your time zone, it may or may not display the right day's diary, so... It's 11 PM on the 10th of April here right now.)

    Oh I had McDonalds yesterday. With a double shot of Barcardi in my diet coke. It's all good. I normally go for chicken select meal as it looks most like its picture. I always get disappointed when I get a burger because they NEVER look as good as the picture.

    Confession: My shoulders are sore, and I blame @BZAH10 and @ythannah. I mean that in the nicest way possible. :)

    Awesome! This makes me unreasonably happy. I guess this is the first time in a long time I feel like I've actually helped someone else.

    I kind of think of you as the fairy godmother of this thread... You are kind and always take time to interact with people who have deep or out there stuff going on. I think you've helped a lot of people here.

    I feel the same way. @BZAH10 makes such an effort to post helpful replies to so many people on here and remember all kinds of details from prior posts.

    And for some weird reason I found this on page 3?? Might be a MFP glitch (or might just be what I'm seeing) but new posts don't seem to be updating the last post time.

    Thank you BOTH for the kind words! That really means a lot to me. Seeing as how this is a "confessions" thread, I'll just say that I'm going through a phase IRL right now where I'm not feeling useful or beneficial to anyone. I kind of just slog through each day, one foot in front of the other, and deny that I'm kind of unhappy and just go through the motions.

    Perhaps I'm over-compensating here, but I do love this thread: I love the pace, the variety, the topics, and all the great peeps! Real and marshmallow! Anyway, thanks again.

    Sorry you feel that way IRL, here I think your posts are great!

    Thank you. I'm at a crossroad: do I make some personal changes and see where it goes (could be better; could be worse)? Or do I just keep living my mediocre life? I know the grass always looks greener on the other side until you get there, so I just don't want to make the wrong decision. But, no risks, no rewards, right?

    I read a quote recently that reminded me of myself: "My decision-making skills resemble that of a squirrel crossing the street."

    Interesting... my husband and I are at a crossroads like that. We live in a city where there are good jobs and lots of money but not a lot to do for people who are dinks (Double Income No Kids). We have considered moving across the country where we are closer to the Eastern US so we can explore all the different cities out that way but the jobs and $$ is just not as good. I also want to start trying for a baby soon and feel bad for my parents/his parents if were were to leave b/c they would be missing out. It's such a hard balance some times. Do you stay where you are b/c it's comfortable and you know how green the grass is or do you take the risk and chance it? It's always hard.

    I worked at the same job for 10 years. I'm an engineer, it's very rare to stay put for that long. I was agonizing over making a change, and my daughter gave me the best advice. YOLO
    Yea, I hate the YOLO, but it's so very true. You only get one chance at life. No sense being unhappy or feeling trapped when there's a chance of improving things. I wound up in a horrible job in a town I hated, but I met my husband there. I'm now in a job that I love, in a city that I love, and married to the right one.

    Today the EA in our office tried to make me feel bad about now working late with the other due to my acupuncture appointment. It didn't work because those appointments are the only reason I'm as happy and positive day in day out in my job (politics).

    My confession: I wanted to drop kick said EA as soon as she opened her mouth about it in front of my boss. I am going to my appointment! I am not paying the $50 fee to miss it dammit... yah I really need to go today. >.>

    Well, that's not cool at all. This is why I do not talk about my personal life in my work environment. Sure, it's nice to have co-workers who are also friends, but I don't like anyone knowing about my personal life because it always seems to come back to bite you.

    Or, is it because it was an acupuncture appt.? Some people don't take that seriously if they personally don't believe in it. Still wrong for someone else to bring it up. Not their business.

    I'm unsure what it really was to be honest, when it's all said and done we finish work technically a hour before my appointment. My job is 24/7 but our office hours are 9 to 4:30, I think she was just ticked she had to work late on Friday and I got the brunt of it.

    If it really was because it was Accupunture then I have no words, our benefits cover it and I am going to enjoy being stuck with needles! Lol

    As well you should! I don't know, I just threw that out there because I hear people say that they don't believe in acupuncture or chiropractors, etc. but they have no problem taking multiple prescriptions. (pretty much just described my family)
