Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

Mmmm... ice cream. Inherited my love of pistachio from my mom. Cookie dough is also a great friend of mine. And vanilla is delicious!!! I probably prefer it to chocolate, which I get sick of way too fast.0

Over the weekend, mostly Saturday, I spent an excessive amount of time trying on dresses to take to Florida, because I've somehow convinced myself that wearing them as opposed to shorts and tanks would be easier or whatever. Anywho, one of the places I went was Maurices and I must have tried on 12 dresses and a couple shirts. I ended up with one shirt and very low self-esteem (the ginormous bruise on leg didn't help). I didn't fare much better at Target, where I'm sure I tried on just as many (although I did buy a dress and a skirt), Dress Barn (found one dress but it's too nice to be a beach dress I think), or Old Navy (bought 2 tanks that I LOVE).
I have very broad shoulders and now that I've been working out, they are more muscular. I didn't think it would be so damn hard to find summer dresses, but it's been close to impossible and I more or less have given up looking for anything else and will just make due with the few things I found and the things I already had.
Side note: My oh so sweet and wonderful husband has questionable taste when it comes to dresses. I was frightened by some of his choices.0 -
So what you're saying is 'Vanilla ice cream is acceptable only when served with food.' I'm not a huge ice cream fan anyway - have horribly sensitive teeth so after only a short time it's not fun any more. I hate all those gruesome flavours like bubblegum, tutti frutti etc. I have a thing about over-coloured foods - maybe that's part of it.Susieq_1994 wrote: »

It's 10 PM and I had a ton of calories left, even after dinner, because I didn't have much of an appetite today. I decided to have something desserty, but we only had vanilla ice cream in the freezer. Plain vanilla isn't really worth the calories to me, although it's nice... So then I had an idea: I got 10 grams of peanut butter, and spread it in a thin layer over the walls of a tiny ice cream bowl, then served the ice cream on top of it. Then, with each bite, I scraped a little peanut butter off the wall of the bowl. Mmmmm, so good.
And then, I STILL had a ton of calories left, so I made a mock peanut butter milkshake. That was so good too.
...I really love peanut butter.
You weirdo!
I do enjoy vanilla ice cream actually, but only when it's accompanied by something. For example, the reason I bought vanilla ice cream to begin with was to top a giant molten lava cookie that I baked recently, and I didn't use it all up. But when I'm eating ice cream for the sake of eating ice cream... Vanilla feels too plain to be worth it.

I love vanilla too. Although, now that I've discovered Ben & Jerry's Half Baked, I would say that's my new fave.

Do you have a Macy's nearby? They have so many pretty dresses at the one by me. I may have bought three.0 -
I'm sure it is - I think you're right to support him by trying to keep the peace. The daughter is very young and being guided by many other forces, I'm sure.rungirl1973 wrote: »I hate drama. We've seen my husband's 12 year old daughter 3 times in the past 10 months since we moved. His son (16) is currently not welcome in our home - long story. This month, we were told that they were all going to be on "vacation" for the entire month at their grandparents' in New Mexico. We found out over the weekend that stepdaughter is the ONLY ONE in NM. So, she chose to forego her weekend with her father (Father's Day, even).
The confession: I'm ready to just be done with the whole lot of them. It's taking every fiber of my being to try to convince my husband not to do so (he wants to be done with the whole lot of them at this point, too). I know that's just his hurt feelings talking.

It has been getting quieter over the last couple days, which is too bad, but it's also good because I don't have as much to catch up on! Lol. Some people are away on vacation...

I'm keeping up! But today was our monthly staff meeting so I was occupied - doing basically nothing mind you - for nearly 2.5 hours.0 -
Ok, on a good note...
My sister and I hung out Saturday morning and she took me to a ferret rescue place because she loves ferrets. This rescue place takes in any ferret that needs help and they try to help and adopt as many as they can and keep the rest safe for the rest of their lives. I went ahead and sponsored two of the ferrets and made my donations to them. They were really cute.
They put a story about us on their website and I don't look as bad as I thought I would. I kept thinking, 'ugh I don't want my picture taken'. I can finally see that I look different than before and you couldn't tell that I was crying (about the whole boyfriend thing) earlier that morning. So, I'm okay with the pictures being online.0 -
I just looked around online and it seems as though I'll have to wait around 100 days for my post-graduation work permit. The CSQ might take me over 15 months, it seems
I feel for you - we had to do that every 5 years until we got our citizenship in December. Family of five! CIC is not our friend. How long are they taking these days?FluffySandwich wrote: »Finally finished sending off my CSQ and post-graduate work permit application for Canada. THAT'S done.

I didn't know that... I hope I somehow made a mistake because that is a long time.

Yea I'm having a bad day too. It's been one of those months for me (and a lot of people here). We all seem more stressed out lately.

As previously mentioned, my friend & her two kids came over - thanks for everyone's tips & support regarding them and my dog! My dog was the "bad" one though, she wouldn't stop barking at them even though they were relatively well behaved. (I definitely need to see a trainer to correct this before she bites anyone.)
Anyway, they came over for ice cream - I had a big serving (ice cream, chocolate chips, the chocolate syrup that hardens - yum). Then they left and I had another big sundae. Yesterday my mom made me brunch (French toast & bacon), then I went to a movie and ate a whole popcorn and bag of candy. Then in the evening I ate MORE ice cream, with a poptart crumbled on top, just because.
None of that fits with my current nutrition plan, so nobody tell my trainer! :0 -
I honestly don't know what they do at CIC? It takes SO LONG for anything to happen. Our Skilled Worker applications took 9 months to process (in 2001/2) but our friends' took FOUR YEARS! How can something take that long?FluffySandwich wrote: »

Raises hand. I'm sad because I cannot keep up, but I'm busy with work today and I'm grumpy. Just reading along with everyone, though. I'll snap out of it soon, I'm sure.0 -
My out-of-town work trip got cancelled at the last minute. I confess I am super excited. I did NOT want to go. The reason I did not want to go? My 11-year-old son starts his job tomorrow and I want to be the one to drop him off and pick him up and ask him how it went. He got this job set up all on his own, working for his uncle in uncle's cabinet shop. I'm super proud of him and did not want to miss his first day.

FOUR YEARS?? That seems insane. I just looked at the skilled worker processing times and you're right! If New York City is processing your application you have to wait 40 months. For me it looks like it would be closer to 15 months, which is still over a year

I now have antibiotics and my face, although swollen, hasn't been overly sore today compared to yesterday.
And I've had an afternoon nap.
Sorry I haven't been around much today.0 -
BZAH did you really send a scale to that single dad on the other thread? You're awesome.
Also, sounds like everyone needs a visit from our special friend, Mr Shark:

Awwe, that's so sweet. Yours sounds like a great gift too.Today is my anniversary and I confess that I am sad that this means I won't be able to go on my weekly bike ride with my girls bike group.
My husband is the best about anniversaries, birthdays, etc. Last year, he had the high school art teacher help him make me a soup bowl. It says "Soup for my Soulmate". I love it! I tell myself every year I'm going to start shopping early and find him the perfect gift. It never happens. I ended up buying him a ceramic statue at the garden center. He deserves so much better!
My husband has got better at gifts over the years, but I have had some real doozies (set of home phones for my 40th, for example
). I've got much better at saying "For my birthday, if you'd like to get me a present, I'd really love X". Or I tell my daughter. She's very good at relaying 'hints' and he's relieved because he can get something he knows I'll like.
My husband is amazing at picking gifts for me. I, on the other hand, am the worst gift giver on the planet. Seriously. I always default to perfume because I just can't think of anything else... Even if I know the person really well! :-/ I'm just really, really bad at it.
Shoot you'd be my best friend! I LOVE scents, that's typically what I ask for around birthday/Christmas- You can never have too much Tory Burch!!

My biggest designer regret was buying Joe Jeans, because the butt got extremely saggy. Luckily I bought them at www.6pm.com & didn't pay full retail.0 -
Really hope they help. I had a hideous experience with an abscessed tooth a few years back and was quite traumatized by it for a while. It's one of the worst pains - I feel for you. The meds should work in a couple of days. I don't know if it will help you, but the most comforting thing I found was drinking hot tea and holding the tea in my mouth against the sore tooth for a few seconds before swallowing. It sounds odd but it relieved the pain for a little while.Glinda1971 wrote: »I now have antibiotics and my face, although swollen, hasn't been overly sore today compared to yesterday.

Haha you gave me a good laugh. It was a little but for the most part they keep everything clean. It mainly smelled a little like a zoo. But ferrets are pretty cute and funny. Ferrets aren't too bad unless they still have their glands. 0 -

While at Target Saturday, I got the popcorn and soda combo. The popcorn was unbelievable good and the Cherry Coke was really refreshing. I didn't feel at all guilty about having them or the giant piece of chocolate cake and 2 scoops of Half Baked later that evening. I ate a lot that day (not really because we didn't eat breakfast) but still managed to stay under my calorie goal. As a matter of fact, I think I stayed under all weekend. I'm hoping I can be more disciplined with my food this week and next since I can't do intense workouts until my leg heals a little more.
Unlike @Tubbs216 I promise I won't tell your trainer.
