Girls Only Trip. OLD THREAD! Please see first post for link to new one, thanks!

Oh man, I know how you feel! I still have one blog, but I made it as private as possible. It's so private no one even knows I have it! It's like my little journal, but I'm still cautious, which I REALLY don't like. I'm afraid someone will find a way to read it.

I just made mine "friends only" and then if I join a community they can't look at it unless I friend each user individually.

I also can't have one for safety reasons.

Unless you have someone who is trying to pry in your life, I don't think anyone will go through drastic measures. I made mine "friends only" because I only friend those who I don't know at all except through LJ or I trust them enough to not judge me.

Mine was friends only, but that didn't stop anything from happening, and people can be so vicious. I can't date anyone with some girl going psycho on me because she wanted him or blah, blah, blah...

Ohhhhh, crazy exes.

I had a few years like that. Ugh. Since when was "dibs" allowed to be called on people? Or even if there is an agreement made between friends, those agreements aren't binding to the guys involved, right? Guys DO get to choose their own girlfriends, yes?

Friend of mine in high school was beyond angry b/c I dated THE BROTHER of her crush. Brother! Not the guy. Brother. Her family and his family were friends, and she made him break up with me. Ugh.

Strangest thing is that we're still basically friends, from afar. Had a nice time at our 20 year reunion, and it turned out she remembered a ton of info from my life, nice little important stuff that you don't think people pay attention to.



With blogs, you have to keep everything private OR use pseudonyms for everyone, so nothing is google-able. Searchable. Whatever. Especially with DS's name since it's not common at all. And I use his name online, here there and everywhere.

And again, don't use the same username twice. Stinkin' alterna-dis.

I totally feel you on that! I especially don't like when it's someone I've never met and suddenly I'm on the top of their list of "people to be mean for no good reason" list. No one should be so wrapped up into one person. I'll live my life, you live yours, don't let my actions affect you. Or whatever I'm trying to say. Yes, it hurts when someone you likes chooses someone else, but that doesn't mean you should make said persons life miserable!

I could so go off on this whole subject, but I will take some deep cleansing breaths and find my happy place.

GOOD NIGHT!

Tomorrow my dad and I are driving to Garden Grove for my dog's spay surgery. Please send your prayers and pixie dust that everything goes smoothly without complications. Thanks!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the rates for our flights went down and Lilycat (heather) and I will be buying our tickets today! I was supposed to do it yesterday but, well, yesterday was a hard day. A guy from work was killed in a motorcycle accident on his way to work. Heather was good friends with him. Anyway, I will book the tickets tonight and then we will be one step closer to disney! Hope everyone has a great day today. Tell those you love that you love them...you just never know what will happen.

Oh, how annoying! Were you actually swearing, or just making sweary characters in fun?

********

OK, explain this to me. I was chatting with Robert about the trip, and as I mentioned he is totally in support of my taking little trips. I have somehow convinced him that I work really hard at home keeping E alive and all, and every so often putting something away or putting a picture up on the wall. And sometimes I put pictures into albums, and occasionally I help E learn little bits here and there. So he ends up thinking that I deserve vacations! And that's excellent and I'm lucky b/c not all working spouses of SAHParents feel that way.

So I asked him if he would WANT a solo trip for his birthday. He doesn't know. I then say that when I first thought of mentioning it, I was going to say that he and E could have a Guy Trip (like Hound and his padewan), and I swear his face just lit up! So it turns out that he would rather be the Number One Parent for a weekend or so than spend it solo!

I asked him if that wasn't just giving me yet another vacation, and he reminded me that I would very likely work harder, for a few hours a day, on stuff that I need to do but can't do while E is around, so they would return to a lovelier home.


Now here's what needs to be explained. If I got my solo trip in January, and I'm going on a girly trip to San Diego that involves a day trip to DLR, and if I'm working to get at least part of this here March trip without them.....how on earth could I POSSIBLY be feeling JEALOUS about their possible trip???????????



Ugh! I actually started to think "well I'd already have my AP, and a hotel costs the same nowadays for 2 vs 3, and one airfare wouldn't be THAT much if they are already buying 2"....basically trying to figure out a way I could do BOTH in March.

I boggle my mind.


I need to start blogging again. Just not link it anywhere so no one can find me to make fun of me...

I was telling a story about how a guy at DL called me a name that started with a B and I said the word started with a B and then put stars and they gave me a warning and said that was considered cussing. I can tell you I have read the rules but it was a LONG time ago when I joined and I truly don't remember not being able to do that but I didn't want her getting a warning for using symbols cuz you can't even do that. I would put a rolling eye smilie here but that would be considered sarcastic and that would get me a warning too!

 

[kelmac284]

Man I tell ya a girl goes away to watch her shows and misses out on another 10 pages. Sheesh. Don't any of you watch survivor or CSI! GEEZ!!!

Anywho as far as using my pic and getting rid of Mr. Fishmouth go for it. That was the only pic on my photobucket that was the most recent AND had me and my mom in it. So crop away my friends crop away!

Of course there is always this pic you could use. Not quite my maxium hair heigth but hey it is complete with acid washed jeans and jacket, sally jessy raphael glasses AND it was taken AT Disneyland. How can you get any better than THAT!!!

 

[kelmac284]

That pic is circa 1986 by the way in front of the old Country Bear Jamboree!

The only thing I would say is to make sure your dog wears the stupid cone collar thing for a few days. Mine had it on, and it's kinda funny watching them walk around and run into walls (j/k!) but we took it off too early and he chewed so much we had to take him back in and get him cleaned up and on antibiotics and he didn't get to take that collar off for another 2 weeks! Too bad they don't understand that!!

No one on here has a life! It does go through phases though, some days we actually fall to the 2nd page and it's like WOW! What is everybody doing that they can't take a minute to post on the DIS boards??

I'm glad you explained about the picture, I was thinking Whoa! That's some 80's hair!! And clothes!! And glasses!!!

Oh man, I'm so sorry. How sad. You're right, you never know what will happen or when.

 

[mommaU4]

Kelly, ummmm, great pic! Ahhh, gotta love those 80's!






TGIF!!!!!
I am so ready for this week to be over. It seemed to go on forever!
Anyone doing anything special for the week-end?

 

[toocherie]

Uh oh Cheryl watch out. I just got a warning on the DW boards for "cussing" so be careful!

I actually put in the "substituted symbols" instead of a "bad word"

I'm another who is glad you explained the pic. When I first saw it I couildn't figure out where it was taken. Then when you said the year, I was ohhhhh. But yeah, the hair and the clothes (acid wash jeans?). Thanks for sharing the pic though.

Cristabel - sure, you can room with whom ever you want. Its not like we swore in blood or anything. Now I won't have to make anyone sleep on the floor. It works out.

Molly - Dibs! My friends and I still call dibs when we go out. Mind you, my best friend is married, and the rest are all in relationships, but we still call dibs. Don't mean anything by it, but dibs are called. We also call TYB. There's Your Boyfriend.

Beth- I got lots going on this weekend. I work tonight, getting by hair done tomorrow morning, my brother is dropping off his kids with me for the weekend (3 boys ages 12, 10 and 8). I will be making homemade pizzas with them, my DD and my DBF and have a scary movie marathon with them all night. Sunday I hope to get some studying done before my brother picks up his kids then I plan to head over to DLR to do some walking.
What you got planned?

Wendy - sorry you can't blog anymore. I do every so often on myspace. But only when I am in the mood.

Oh, and I totally agree with you Molly about credit card companies on college campuses. I got into a ton of trouble because of that. I was young and didn't realize how fast it can all add up. I paid them all off but its hard. I now have just one real credit card that I use sparingly and then pay off by the end of the month.

 

[Stacerita]

I did that too and got warned. I felt bad about it. The moderator basically told me I was being shady and trying to get around the filter. I just didn't want to type the word incase it got past the filter. I aplogized and asked for clarification about the filter, and instead got reprimanded more. Oh well.

 

[bumbershoot]

I was supposed to do it yesterday but, well, yesterday was a hard day. A guy from work was killed in a motorcycle accident on his way to work. Heather was good friends with him

Oh that's awful, I'm sorry. A few years ago one of hubby's co-workers was seriously injured while riding his bike to work in Seattle...injuries are hard enough.

I would put a rolling eye smilie here but that would be considered sarcastic and that would get me a warning too!

But it's THEIR smilie!

HOW did you do that to your hair? I always figured the girls that had "big hair" just naturally had big hair. I never knew what work was involved. Crazy.

Molly - Dibs! My friends and I still call dibs when we go out. Mind you, my best friend is married, and the rest are all in relationships, but we still call dibs. Don't mean anything by it, but dibs are called. We also call TYB. There's Your Boyfriend.

When I used to go out with friends we didn't call dibs, but we would point out boyfriends. Though usually they would turn out to be what we called "inafaraways". Meaning they looked cute from far away, but when you got closer, they were only cute "in a way"...combine to "in a far away".
