I'll try. I don't think I've had hair spray in my house since the mid 90s.

I think it's ok to feel underwhelmed tgrimes. A raise sometimes sounds nice but when it amounts to say $11 extra per pay period, it's like why bother. This is all you think I'm worth??

Although I feel the need to say, I think those guys have amazing bodies, but I'd never want to marry someone like that. I'm too self conscious. + 1 stuck in the box

tgrimes, I am of the opinion that raises should at least keep up with the rate of inflation. Did your raise get anywhere close to that?

Hey ladies. We spent all morning playing outside in the back yard. S is walking longer distances without holding on to anything, but still prefers crawling as her mode of transportation. Unfortunately our deck needs work and any bare skin collects slivers, in this case her shin from dragging it when she crawls. My friend dropped off her little boy around 11 (it's 12:45 now) and it's nap time for everyone. After seeing how well he went down for a nap it really makes me want to get sleep training done for S, I guess that's my goal for next week. DH tried CIO last night but it didn't go well. Anyways this afternoon I am going to take the girls to the zoo, they have koalas on loan for the summer and I'm excited to see them.
This ends my stream of consciousness post.

Ok, tell me if you guys would be annoyed. I have a college friend who I've had a vey up and down relationship for years. As I've gotten older we've remained friends, but I tend to keep her at arms length. I'm going to call her E. I have another friend, who I met about seven years ago, and I'd consider her my best friend. We live down the street from each other, our kids are in same class and our inseparable and our husbands our friends. I'll call her A. Well, E has always been incredibly jealous of mine and A's friendship. She gets mad that I don't invite her to every single hi we do, but E lives a town over and has her own group of friends. I don't expect, or want o be invited to stuff she does with them because their her friends and thats fine. And she doesn't understand that a lot of the stuff we do with our friends out here are impromptu get together because we live two minutes apart. And quite frankly, I don't want to introduce her to all me friends because she's done shady shit in the past. Anyway, She's very active in all the politics lately and she asked both A and me to help her with some petitions and e both said yes. No big deal. Than this Morning she text me and said "A and I are going to happy hour if you want to join us." Um, what? Like your not really friends with A. It was just weird so I text A(she knows my issues with E) and she told me that E and had text her about when to get the petitions and she said let me talk to unicorn and maybe we can all meet up for a happy hour sometime his week to get them. And this convo literally happened a hot second before E sent me the text. So I text E back and just asked if they were meeting for happy hour to go over the petitions and she said "well it might come up, but no! End of year drinks! 🍻"
I jus think it's so weird and his is exactly the reason I didn't want to introduce her to all my fiends out here, because she's the type of person to start reaching out them behind my back and I just think it's a little shady.
I know I'm probably overreacting a bit, but I'm sick of always dealing with this with her.
Sorry, that was a long rant.

Guster, I agree on third coffee dude. Whoa. I'd be too self-conscious to marry a ripped dudes, but it wouldn't stop me from having crazy sexy time with him. Excuse me while I fan myself over here.

I also think raises should be performance based and not just how long you've been here. I mean, I've been here 12 years but I know some people that got one and definitely did not deserve it, but they've been here 15-20 years. KWIM?

xolastunicornxo, sounds like jealousy. I wouldn't take it personally, because A is your best friend. She gets you and she probably sees right through this invite.

Unicorn, I'd be annoyed too. In the past I've had problems with triangle relationships and always end up on the losing end. The good thing is it sounds like A is a solid friend and won't drop you for the other's nonsense.

xolastunicornxo I am a firm believer in trusting your gut when it comes to friends (well anyone really). If you feel she's a shade ball, she probably is. I don't even try to figure out if I have enough solid reasons to back it up anymore, I just go with it. That being said, your other friend sounds like she knows what's up, so I'm sure she'll join you in keeping a little healthy distance. if that's what you ultimately think is best for you.

I'll try. I don't think I've had hair spray in my house since the mid 90s. L'Oreal Paris Elnett is amazing. Get it at the drugstore.

No you guys are right. And I'm not worried about A at all, she knows what's up and she thinks the behavior is shady too. It's not like I'm worried at all, I'm just annoyed and his is literally the exact reason I haven't wanted to really introduce her to anyone.

@unicorn, it would bother me too. I might try to distance myself a little more from E because of it.

This is going to sound really shitty of me and like I'm ungrateful. I got a raise today. While I appreciate it, the amount is...not that much. Like, it's eye roll worthy. Not related but this made me remember your post the other day - what did you mean when you said you had maternity pay in your paycheck?

When I was in HS and first starting college, my BF was a power lifter. Dude was in the gym ALL. THE. FREAKING. TIME. He had an amazing body (I did not, although 40 year old me would tell 20 year old me to stop that shit!), but also knew it.
I'd rather be with someone who has as many physical flaws as me, level playing field maybe. It's kind of like hot men, I feel like they spend more time getting ready than I do. I can shower and be out the door in 20-30 minutes if required.

I make the decisions on most of the raises at my company. I always tell people raises are based on 3 things 1) budget (is there enough $$ for raises) 2) performance 3) seniority & time since last raise All 3 have to come together for an employee to get a raise. Often people just say "but it's been a year since my last raise!" but if we have no money and/or their performance sucks, they don't get a raise just b/c of time.
