weekend randoms/vents/whatever?

[Roc A Bee]

We saw Ted last night and a family came in with two toddlers Jane stayed the whole time. Every other word in the movie is fuck. I side eyed them hard, oh and the dad answered his phone like 4 times IN tHE THEATRE!

Confession: I have a crush on my H's coworker. It's completely harmless as I would never do anything and almost never see him.

I feel stupid and boy crazy.

[Deleted]

bucky, I would be annoyed at *just* going to the movies too. I like more chatting/interaction as well.

glad your sister is okay, NQB!

amoosed - any wedding details to share? do you have a dress? I love seeing what people choose.

rex94 - I totally had a crush on one of SO's coworkers. it died out when I didn't see him as much. we are going to his wedding next weekend which should be fun!



my confession? SO is home and strangely focused on getting me healthy (presumably because I CANNOT miss work on Monday). he has been researching foods to eat/avoid based on my symptoms and he went to the store and came home with an assortment of drugs for me. he just told me that the lunch I had was the worst choice ever (McD's cheeseburger + strawberry shake). I know I'm supposed to avoid meat and dairy if I have a mucus problem, but we NEVER eat that crap and I just wanted it. so.. I played dumb.

now I get to eat hot veggie soup, green tea, and steamed broccoli for dinner. boooooring.

We are at a family member's multi million dollar beach house. Except that we ate not allowed inside (even when it rains) And she told me I better not serve the cookies I made because she bought some since I didn't tell her I was bringing them.

[crazycakes]

I really need to do laundry but the dryer makes our house too hot.

Guess we will be wearing dirty clothes.

yikes. sounds like fun? lol

I think I overdid it today. I went to CrossFit, painted half our laundry room (which meant cramming myself into tiny spaces), ran a few errands, went to an antique market, and walked the dog. And it's 107 degrees here.

Now I feel nauseous and like I can't re-hydrate and I have a headache. And I want a Sonic milkshake.

Maybe it's not really her house

I bought my wedding dress today and it was very MM!
I went in by myself so it seemed kind of weird but I found what I liked, that looked good on me, all for a great price. I've decided I'm not a sappy emotional bride... no tears and I turned down the preservation service.

post a picture!

I need to get a new phone soon, and I'm indecisive (and off contract, which makes the choices seem unlimited.) Do I want to upgrade to an iPhone? 3, 4,or 4s? Should I get a pay as you go smartphone? Do I just stick with my non smart one with unlimited Internet?

It actually doesn't feel as hot as I had feared today!

But nonetheless, we escaped to the suburbs to take advantage of air conditioned, tax-free shopping. It was not an MM trip. I'm trying to convince myself that the 8.75% savings on everything makes it okay.

I'm so jealous!

I think next time we visit SO's family in NJ I am going to bring an empty suitcase for shopping.

Tacom- we have a venue and photographer picked out and I'm going to start dress shopping in a few weeks. I'll be sure to post pictures!

very cute. I love the one shoulder!

amoosed - looking forward to it!

and your memory serves you correct, v. it's crazy high. and it seems like we have new taxes all the time. when we used our segway groupon we had to pay a 9% recreation/leisure tax.

SO and I made up our guest list for the wedding and it's making me insecure about the number of friends we have. Which is under 10.

Haha, we felt the same way when we did our guest list. Remember, quality over quantity!

My vent: H was talking to his sister last night and mentioned that we booked a vacation for our anniversary. Literally the first thing she said was "oh so you aren't coming to visit us?". SO LAME! They are buying a house and apparently expect everyone to drop everything to fly out to see it. And then I heard H basically ask her if it was okay that we were going on vacation. Man, his family drives me nuts.

This is why we are doing a destination wedding, makes it much easier to have a small guest list.

That's how I felt about inviting people to my bat mitzvah. I wasn't very popular in junior high.

I had the BEST birthday today. We rented a pontoon boat with 10 of our friends and it could not have gone better. It was a 15 on a scale of 1 to 10. BUT I am paranoid that my grandma died and no one wants to tell me today. My grandpa called and said my grandma couldn't wish me a happy birthday. But if she was just sleeping, couldn't they have called later? We know this is the last of my birthdays she'll be alive, so if she could even just say the word HI, I think she would. She just turned 70. I effing hate cancer.

Beautiful dress!

[heliocentric]

DH & I had a weird lack of communication (I am going to blame him) which resulted in him hanging out at a friend's house and me at home. (We were supposed to go a party together.)
After he left I drank a whiskey sour and chatted with a friend overseas on skype, but it puked and our connection was lost. So... I had a 2nd drink and now I'm tipsy by myself.

Warning: First World Problem.

Two months ago, H and I placed an order for my new car. Finally the guy from the dealership called to let us know it would be there on Friday. Friday the guy calls again and says yes, it's there, but he can't release it 'cause Ford has issued a recall on all 2013 Escapes due to something about the carpet under the pedals and there's a freeze on all the 2013 Escapes. I was so excited and now I have to wait probably at least another week.

But at least I know the car is safe. So it's totally worth it. It's just hard to come down from an excitement high.

Congratulations!! I did it the same way - in and out within an hour, dress in hand. And I adore(d) my dress.

I'm drinking leftover sangria, which my cousin transported to the BYOB restaurant where we had dinner tonight in a 2L Sprite bottle, from a huge plastic tumbler, with a lot of ice. Klassy with a K right here.

I'm kinda bummed that I now have a low tolerance for alcohol. Anytime I have more than 2 drinks in one day (even hours apart), I feel like shit the next day. Boo.

Me too. It sucks. I hope it goes away.

DH just got a new job. It comes with a 50% pay increase and less off-hours responsibiity than his current job. I'm so happy for him, this will be a healthy change both for him and our budget.

Related confession - we've been shopping like crazy since he accepted the offer. Time to reign things in a bit.

[Awkward]

I just realized that I need to take out my industrial piercing for my interview on Monday. And I probably won't be able to wear it if I get that job. I'm sad because I really like it and I've had it less than a year.

Can you hang things dry? If it's so hot you can't run the dryer, it should be pretty quick, so it doesn't matter if you don't have a specific clothes line, just throw things over chairs and towel rails and wherever.

I feel like I've been a real Debbie downer lately but I am really having a hard time with life right now. I know that I have so many things to be thankful for and I should just focus on those, but I am having a hard time seeing it.

Today was my best friend's wedding and it was perfect. I am so honored to have been part of it. My H is out to sea and during the reception I got an email from H saying that the very long deployment that they were told was not happening, is now happening and it is happening very soon. I was trying so hard not to cry and went and hid until I could pull myself together enough to not ruin my friends day.

My parents have had some very serious health problems lately and I am having a hard time adjusting to their new lifestyles (mom on full time disability, can no longer drive, often has bad days and dad having some issues too.) Until all this happened I depended on them a lot to help with childcare when my H is gone and daycare is closed. (I realize how extremely fortunate I am that they are so willing to help and that we live close enough that it is an option.) I now need to figure things out because I have recently started working part-time and am not willing to quit. I love my job.

I know that things will work out and that right now I am just scared/sad. I keep reminding myself, "It's not that I can't handle this, it's that I don't want to, but I will and I will be stronger for it."

On the positive for today.....
--the wedding was amazing. I could not be happier for the newlyweds.
--Shortly after I arrived at the venue I realized that I had had a fling with one of the chefs 12 years ago. He still looks good...but I looked better rocking the bridesmaids dress and giving an awesome MOH speech that he was in the room for and I had everyone laughing.
-My kid was stinkin' cute as the ring bearer. He's so awesome.

[krystee]

Hugs, twodogs. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I hope your H's upcoming deployment gets shortened and that your parents' health improves.

[hannamarin]

Twodogsand, it mist be very hard to deal with your H being away and out of contact sometimes. You are allowed to cry. And there is nothing worse than going to go to a wedding alone when you are in a relationship. I did it once and I vowed never again. Maybe I am weird, but I felt so alone.
My baby stayed up too late last night so had a bit of trouble falling asleep (parenting fail?) but then she slept until 730!new record
