Weekend Lessons Learned

Since everyone learns something every day...

I learned that no matter how much you spent on those pasties so you wouldn't have to wear a bra with that shirt that refuses to allow it, if you sleep in them, you will wake up with sticky nipples.

    I learned that when BF's dad starts to get a little tipsy he cleans and rearranges the house. His dad is the funniest drunk person I have ever seen - he cracks me up every time!

    I learned that looking at art supplies in Michael's is a very fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
    And that 10,000 Amex points does not really get you a whole lot.

    I learned that my ex-FI got married this past week!!!! He stalked me for a long time after I called off the wedding. There has been a lot of concern about my wedding and if he would flip out and show up at the wedding. It is nice to know that he has moved on. I'm so happy for him!

    I learned helpful tips on how to keep my kitty from meowing at the bedroom door! Also, that just because a sweet-looking old camera at an antique dealer says Polaroid on it does not mean it uses instant film. Undecided

    I learned not to play scrabble with my parents when they're super stoned: They steal letters from other words on the board so they can write things like "Grateful" and "Joy" and they start playing off the board when their ideal words don't fit... and I'm kind of a scrabble Nazi!

    I learned that despite the fact that we have talked about our future together, and even about our someday wedding, and bought a freaking house together, I found out today that my SO doesn't "have faith in the institution of marriage." Huh. Might have been nice to know that, oh you know, when we started getting serious 4 years ago. Sigh. I point blank told him that I do want to get married so hopefully we'll talk about it again in a few days when he's had time to think. 

    And now I'm off to eat mass quantities of chocolate.

    That sucks.  I'm glad you were straight with him,, though.  I hope you guys can come to some sort of agreement.

    No, but his sister and good friend are. So I mean, I get it, but how it has never come up in conversation until now I really don't understand. Especially because he knows I'm so wedding crazy and trying to start my own wedding related business. Anyhow, sorry to rant, just needed to vent a little.

    I knew this stuff would cut the stress/mood swing things, but I had no idea it would make me focus so awesomely!! If only I discovered this stuff beginning of Senior year, instead of at the end.

    <div>Apparently they sell that around here.  Unfortunately for me, every time I start to seriously considering going to find the sketchballs that sell it, I chicken out.  And my inability to focus goes haywire.  </div>

    So today I asked SO about his "I have no faith in the institution of marriage" comment, because it was really bumming me out, and this is what he responds with (and yes, we communicate a lot by IM, we've always done that, and I know it's weird to most people, but it works for us):

    "well. of course i want to marry you, i gotta make the proposal special :D. so i have to throw off the scent"

    So now I feel like a total heel. But how was I to know that that's what he was doing? He can be such a punk, heh. Anyhow, now that's he said that, I'm not saying another word about weddings or marriage or anything so that I don't ruin the surprise, heh. But boy am I relieved. Smile
