DS had a chocolate chip cookie before breakfast yesterday.

In my defense...DH did it!

I don't like dessert as a reward for eating. I mean, if my kid asks for a cookie I tell them they have to eat first. But I'm not into the whole "if you eat this you'll get that" how about you just eat your meal till you're full?

I love wrapping presents. I legitimately enjoy it. I should get a job wrapping gifts at Bloomingdales. I have special scissors and tape and 50 billion different tags and bows. I am a freak.

Me too!  I am such a wrapping snob!  I have totally loosened up a lot though.  I used to work at the service desk at Mervyn's and did the gift wrapping.  I used to have to have everything in a square or rectangular box in order to wrap it.  I also had to use nice wrapping paper.  Not the cheap thin kind that tears the second you touch it.  I used to only use wired ribbon for bows, but have started using the tape on bows again.  I still have 4 or 5 giant rolls of the really nice paper they used at Mervyn's.  They decided to sell a bunch of the old leftover paper to the employees one day for $5 each.  I still have yet to run out of any of it... 10 years later!

I totally side eye gift bags.  Especially at Christmas.  It's just not the same to grab something out of a box than it is to rip open some pretty paper.  I even keep a few different rolls of paper, ribbon, tape, and scissors in my car.

Mine is a saying anything...because I just need to get this crap off my chest.

There's a group of 5-6 couples that we used to hang out with all the time.  We've all had our ups and downs and moments of being closer to one couple at one point in time.  Some things happened a few years ago and we had a pretty big falling out with one of the couples.  But we mostly kept it civil and always try to include everyone when we do something. 

Well, the couple we had a falling out with is BFF's with another couple that is in the group...or so they pretent.  One of the girls has confided in me about her supposed BFF and talks badly about her all the time. But when they are together they are besties.  She has even gone to the extent of saying that she wishes she had asked DH and I to be in their wedding vice the other couple that are their "BFF's."

All of this is so High School drama stuff and I'm just over it.  Everyone talks about each other behind each other's backs, they are flaky and just not good friends.  But we all keep pretending that we are and always feel this obligation to include everyone when we do something. 

Back in September these were the two girls who were going to throw a joint birthday party for me but then backed out the day before the party and then ended up having a more "exclusive" party. I really haven't talked to them much since then with the exception of a few group events.

So, what I'm getting down to is that I really, really want to just cut these two particular couples from my life.  They just cause me stress and anger.  I want to remove them from Facebook so that they can't check up on me and vice versa.  I don't want to be obligated to be acquantances with them anymore.

But I hate confrontation and I don't want to cause more drama...and I'm part chicken.  I just don't know how to go about removing them from my life without drama.

TL:DR...but I feel a little better.

I also hate giving & receiving gift cards.  I usually end up spending them on either something for someone else or boring stuff for the house (like a Target gift card may go to paper towels and toilet paper).

I have received so many neat gifts that I never would have bought for myself or even though of getting for myself.  Even if I had a gift card.

*Gift Cards for things like a nail salon or massage are different because they can only be used for that thing.

I think taking out the trash is the mans job. I hate doing it. Even though it's one of the easiest chores to do, I don't want to be the one to do it. I would pick doing the dishes over taking out the trash any day!

I forgot to ask DH to take it out before work so now I have too. Not just the trash but the diaper genie too...

I have a "say anything"

DH won his fight. We had a crazy after party at this midtown club with all our friends and everyone from the firehouse... there were probably 100 people there. He won this huge belt like they give professional champions (which he carried/wore all night Stick out tongue) The DJ kept shouting him out and the skanky bartender kept jumping on the bar and pouring Jameson down his throat. Girls kept coming up to him... it was really something.

But, the best part was when he walked onto the dance floor me and all my girls started cheering like crazy and this Bachelorette party thought he was a stripper. One of the bridesmaids came over and asked him to come "perform" for their table. 

That totally made his night and whenever anyone asks about the fight he tells them the story about the girls that thought he was a stripper.

I agree, although I'm always the one emptying the trash and diaper genie. I hate it! The past 2 weeks I had to put it out of the curb too for the garbage trucks because DH was away, and I hated every minute of it!

I freaking hate recycling. I do it so that my Grandkids can see the Amazon and sh!t but sitting there crushing boxes and tying up magazines makes me batty!

Especially since they only pick it up every other week... and it's Christmas so I have more catalogs than I know what to do with.

Our town got rid of free recycling and I miss it! I have all this ccad ours that I don't know what to do with. We can technically have recycling, but we will have to pay for it and we don't really have the money. I actually hate that we can't recycle right now...

I am terrible! We haven't recycled for a long time. Embarrassed  I used to be very good about putting all the recycling in one bin, but DH would only take out the trash and not the recycling.  Our apt. is so tiny that there really isn't room for 2 bins either.  I promise to start recycling when we move into a house.  Hopefully that will be sooner ranther than later though!

I hate when people post out of focus pictures on FB. They post like 5-6 pictures that are all out of focus and you can barely make out the image. What's the point? Some of those chain pictures that everyone shares are the same, and I just can't stand it.

Another possible UO. I'm in love with the show Duck Dynasty. It's effing hilarious. Si and Jase (the 2 in the middle, Si is the older one) are my 2 favs. I also think Jase is pretty sexy. Although I don't know what he looks like without the beard.

I hate Bed and Breakfast's. My parents love them and travel all over to stay at different ones. I've had to stay in a few of them and when all the family is at my grandma's she usually puts us down the road at a B&B. One of my friends just posted pictures of the one they just stayed at for their 1 year anniversary trip. Ick! I almost always find the decor tacky, it's weird to be in a house with a bunch of strangers (no way could I have sex in one!), you have to eat breakfast at one table with everyone. It's just the worse!! Tongue Tied

Oh my only exception to this is that I always wanted to stay at Tori(Spelling) and Deans B&B when they owned one in CA. It looked so cute and they would cook the meals.

Eh...I could say the same about hotel room decor. And at a hotel, you are also under a roof with a bunch of strangers. 

FWIW, I don't have an opinion one way or the other about bed and breakfasts (I've never stayed in one). But I dislike hotels.

We aren't too far apart, actually.  I'm outside of Fredericksburg.  I grew up in a small town bordering Loudoun County (Clarke) and I spent a lot of time in Purcellville when I was younger.
