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.
confession: i am awesome at gift giving. i'm the crazy type that remembers six months ago you said you really wanted something, but could never justify getting it for whatever reason. i'd bust my *kitten* to make sure the gift i gave, meant something to the person, fit who they are, or allowed them to indulge when they themselves never would/could. i rock the giving of gifts.
actual confession: it took a really long time, and a lot of secret hidden internal disappointment, to realize no one ever puts in that type of effort for me. ever. (nobody cares, boo hoo, i know. yay personal pity party) but it actually really hurts, when you really dig deep and think about it.
so i quit. i quit making little notes to remember things about people, i quit spending hours on the net to find the out of print japan only release of an album that someone just would "die" to have but could never find it. no more care packages to people far away. i stopped picking up things here and there all year round because i knew it was just PERFECT for someone. i just quit.
and it's difficult sometimes. i'll see something and be like OH! PERFECT! but then i stop myself and just keep moving. and it's really lame that something like this is making me tear up while i'm at work, so i shall stop whining now before it really opens the floodgates.
I'm sorry you've gone through all of that. Ever thought of putting those awesome skills to use, though? You could become a personal shopper or consultant. People can contact you about whom they are shopping for, what their tastes are, their collections, etc. I think you'd be great at it!
and this is a great idea too! Using that talent that you have.0 -
I'm 40 hours away from my exam! I feel WAY more prepared for it than I did at this time last week. Go figure.
Confession: I intend to make poor choices following said exam on Saturday, regardless of how I think it went.

I would love to have goats! And chickens!
How could one not?! -- they're incredible!
ETA: 'Git' is kind of English for 'jerk'.
Plus, fig wasps are the only fig pollinators out there. That alone is enough to for wasps to be alright in my book.
To add, he finds it funny too, and laughs at it as well. Just so I'm not sounding like an *kitten* wife lol.
I can't do spiders. Period. I took kiddo and nephew to the zoo last week and there was a tarantula on exhibit. Naturally, both kids wanted to see it, I had a panic attack! It can be embarrassing, but not as much as my catfish phobia (and I mean the actual fish) lol.
You should see me at the lake. I am constantly moving my legs, and if something brushes against me I run to the shore so fast... I'm terrified of fish touching me. Any fish.
OMG, that's me too!!0 -
I *kitten* to take my mind off being hungry.0

Confession - I'm always checking Petfinder, even though I can't really have another pet right now (our dog hates dogs, and my cat still goes outside and I want our next cats to be indoor).
ditto!
i can barely handle the two lil beasts i have now, but i'm still always looking on petfinder...
At first I read this as breasts...sorry0 -

It any of the sweet potatoes weigh more than 200 grams I won't buy it. So some weeks, I don't get them, because none are in the magic gram weight. I also buy loose onions and bell peppers on a similar weight method. Again some weeks, there aren't any in that weight.
I only buy my International Delight coffee creamer in the single serving mini containers like you get at restaurants. That way I know exactly how much creamer is in my coffee every morning.
I have counted the pieces of popcorn I have eaten.
All meat for myself is weighed out of the big package, vacuum sealed with date, weight, and either put in the fridge or freezer.
Packages of cheese are brought home and cut immediately into 1 ounce slices and vacuum sealed and returned to the fridge.
Lunches for the week are done on Sunday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I usually do mixed veggies 300 grams frozen weight to be microwaved. Tuesday and Thursday are Broccoli days and that is 400 grams of frozen weight to be microwaved.
Boxes of Cereal if they are mine, get pre portioned out to 42 gram Ziploc baggies. I'm the only one who will drink 2% milk. So the half gallon gets weighed out into 8 ounce containers and returned to the fridge in their little reusable thermos containers.
When I make biscuits, I weigh the flour out and do not use a measuring cup. Any flour used for kneading that is left gets scraped up and weighed to subtract from the recipe.
I have made hamburgers for a party and weighed each patty, and thrown away what would not divide evenly into the calculated weight of the others.
I can actually nail the number of servings a peanut butter container has in it by the label to perfect accuracy. I weigh it out too.
I actually own 4 food scales, 1 that travels, 1 at the office and 2 in the kitchen. Their batteries are changed the 1st day of every month whether they need it or not. They are also all the same brand and identical. I'm a lab tech and have used the calibrated weights to check their accuracy, they are in acceptable range. I do this often.
Shall I continue. I have developed a lot of quirks over my 900+ logging days here.
Now that my friend.. is commitment. I wish I had that kind of discipline in my life. Goal: To be a bit more like you my friend.0 -

I'm 5'9", and my husband is the first guy I dated that was taller than me. For whatever reason, the only men who were ever interested in me were always shorter than me. ESPECIALLY when I was out dancing!
I'm 5'9" too, and my husband is 6'7". Many years ago I tried to date a guy who was shorter than me, but I just felt huge next to him and I couldn't imagine taking that feeling into the bedroom. Shut it down.
5'9" here too! Yeah, I couldn't do the shorter guy thing either. The thought of bending over to kiss him freaks me out! And yes, I realize that's irrational!0 -
@Italian_Buju, thinking of you! Hope all went as best as it could.
I know @Francl27 already mentioned it, but what is this new thing of taking me to the LAST post on this thread every time I come back to it? Then I have to scroll back to where I left off and I think I'm missing posts. (and, yes, I'm grateful that that is the only thing I have to complain about today)0 -

I've gained about 10 kilos, to put a number on it, and I'm just getting back on the wagon. :-/
So, after two days eating under my goal, here's how today's weigh-in went: I went to pee (of course), then hopped on the scale in my underclothes. I got a 70.0 and I thought to myself, "I am SO CLOSE to breaking into the 60s again!" This in mind, I became a little bit desperate. So, I turned to my husband and said... "You know what? I'm going to try to pee some more."
He, of course, stared at me like I was crazy. "How in the world do you pee some more?!" I ignored him and went to attempt it, not that it was particularly successful... Is this TMI?
Afterwards, I stripped down and weighed without my underclothes to get rid of every gram of extra weight that I could possibly shed. The scale was kind and measured me at 69.9. So then I go... "YAY! I BROKE INTO THE SIXTIES AGAIN! BOOYAH!" It counts, right?
It 100% does! I weigh myself with nothing but my glasses on and that's just because I can't see the scale without them.
I weigh myself with my glasses off, then step off the scale and put them back on to read it.
My scale keeps the reading on the screen for at least five minutes, so I can get away with not wearing my glasses. I'm sure they'd add TONS of weight to the reading, like... 40 whole grams or something!
I weigh myself with my bracelet on and nothing else. AFTER determining my bracelet weighs .2 ounces. Which I always subtract!
I take off my wedding ring, necklace (if I'm wearing one), glasses, and even hair-ties when I'm desperate for a good weigh-in! I joked to my husband today that I should have clipped my nails, shaved my legs, and blown my nose before weighing again...
I can definitely tell you are feeling better today...actually yesterday...because you are cracking me up!
One more question regarding the prayers that you say. Is it a specific prayer at each time or is it to give thanks for things in your life or do you pray for people you know?
The prayer is a ritual that remains the same, regardless of which prayer it is. We have three segments: The standing, ruku' (bowing), and sujood (prostration). During each segment, we speak specific words of praise and glorify God, giving thanks and asking for guidance and mercy. We can recite any chapter we wish from the Qur'an during the standing segment, but we have to begin with a certain one called "The Opening", or "Al-Fatiha". The differences in the prayers are the number of repetitions, or rakaat, that we perform, as well as the recommended length of recitation to be made during each prayer.
When the prayer is over, we say dua (supplications) if we wish to. This is where we can ask God for money, children, whatever aid we might need or wishes we might have, and pray for our friends and family as well in our own words. Dua is considered very powerful, and is called "The weapon of the believer".
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this- I've learned some things in school and met a few people who were practicing Muslims but was always too uncomfortable to ask such questions thinking they may find me intrusive and rude. I really appreciate learning all of this about you and your religion/culture it's really neat!
You're very welcome! I love talking about Islam, and I could just go on and on about it, so it was quite fun to answer everyone's questions, especially when religion is such a taboo topic nowadays. 0 -

I have trypophobia, arachnophobia and I'm afraid of heights - but just ones that would maim me, not ones that will kill me if I fall.
The trypophobia is the weirdest one. Why am I afraid of things with small holes in them?

@Italian_Buju, thinking of you! Hope all went as best as it could.
I know @Francl27 already mentioned it, but what is this new thing of taking me to the LAST post on this thread every time I come back to it? Then I have to scroll back to where I left off and I think I'm missing posts. (and, yes, I'm grateful that that is the only thing I have to complain about today)
I'm glad it's not just me. But really, it got to stop.
I'm having dinner alone at 4.30pm again because I can feel a massive carb craving coming. Just cannot align my dinner times with everyone or it's always a disaster. I'm glad my husband is understanding (my mom, not so much, but heck she didn't bother me about it yesterday, shockingly).
I also never learn - if I eat too much, I'll end up hangry making up for it for days and it just sucks. But I'm unfortunately not one of those people who can just eat too much one day and get back on track the next day... if I don't make up for it, I'll gain (I'm eating at maintenance level though). So I've been hangry the last two days making up for Tuesday's disaster.
I've also learned the hard way that the horrible drink they give you for CT scans with contrasts can give you diarrhea for three days (really hoping it's only three days, this is getting old).
I also have a craving for pizza that I'm going to have to remedy soon.0 -

We keep bees on our property and it's pretty awesome. We had a nice honey harvest last year with 4 hives, so we expanded to 8 this year. They're all pretty active; so far, so good!
I would love to have goats! And chickens!

Plus, fig wasps are the only fig pollinators out there. That alone is enough to for wasps to be alright in my book.
To add, he finds it funny too, and laughs at it as well. Just so I'm not sounding like an wife lol.
I can't do spiders. Period. I took kiddo and nephew to the zoo last week and there was a tarantula on exhibit. Naturally, both kids wanted to see it, I had a panic attack! It can be embarrassing, but not as much as my catfish phobia (and I mean the actual fish) lol.
You should see me at the lake. I am constantly moving my legs, and if something brushes against me I run to the shore so fast... I'm terrified of fish touching me. Any fish.

It took me a while to finally feel comfortable enough to admit it, but now I just embrace it as one of my many quirks. Anyone who goes fishing with me knows that if they catch a catfish to keep it away from me, and I will not look at it. I don't care if it's the size of a toddler, I don't want to see it! Lol!
Another confession: I've been particularly and irrationally ragey today. I'm going to chalk it up to PMS, although Aunt Flo is now 2 days late.
I've been taking my bitchiness out on those idiotic posts in the forums, just so I don't accidentally take it out on my hubby or kid. I remember once I lost it and screamed at her to "sit the *kitten* down and shut the *kitten* up" and immediately regretted it, and still do. I held her, apologized profusely, and cried for a solid hour afterwards. I seriously need to be on medication again, for my mental issues and I need to see a doctor anyway because we're 99.9% sure I have ADD, but I've never been tested or looked into it. It's messing with my marriage, but it's like no matter what I do, I can't focus on anything! I have lists posted up on every single room in my house to remind me of what housework needs to be done on a specific day, yet I get distracted and forget what I'm supposed to be doing and then we're fighting. No joke, we fight every. single. damned. day. about the same damned thing. I'm afraid it's going to completely ruin my marriage, and I don't want that to happen!

Catfish are kind of creepy looking. I have at least one other friend who is a nut about fish touching her, and it looks like there is someone else on this thread too so I guess it's not that out there haha. At least fish are fairly easy to avoid!

Possible Confession: I cant help but buy popcorn and candy at the movies. It takes a truly insane person not to want to eat popcorn and candy at the movies. I'm going to the movies tonight... I'll let you know the outcome of my self control.0

I read in another thread that one of the long term members nominated it as a joke, because they were upset at the way the stickies were being handled by MFP. They are now not happy this is a sticky. I'm not sure how accurate the first part is, but I do know several of them aren't happy.

Even though I KNOW it's water weight, I weigh in every day until it goes down. I'm down 0.4 lbs from yesterday.0

Now I can't find it, of course. It's supposed to be in the General Diet and Weight Loss one.

I don't want anything touching me in water. The idea of something brushing against me even as I sit here completely dressed on dry land gives me the shivers. You're definitely not alone.
