Flame Free Friday

Cheryl, FI and I always talk about how she used to look so much better and now she just looks crazy all the time.

tnickel, I'm right there with you. I cannot stand going to a movie the day/weekend it comes out and having to squish in next to people I do not know. It's not very comfortable!

Speaking of Dear John, I am excited to see it. Did anyone read the book?

Tnickel,
The student teacher in my department said it was good.  He saw a sneak preview last night.

In regards to the clothes comment....
I would like for boys to start wearing the correct size of pants.  I routinely tell the saggy bottom boys that I don't want to see their underwear.  I would say something to the girl pants boys but it definitely wouldn't be school appropriate.

Julie- girl pants boys! hahaha.  Every time FI sees one he says ' hey look its a Jonas brother!' (not where they can hear him, of course)

*If I had Rhianna's boobs and body, I'd be flaunting it all the time,too.

*All this talk about people not showing up to the wedding with a gift is annoying me.  So what?  Not everyone was raised with the same wedding etiquette.  A lot of my guests didn't bring a gift either, but I didn't even care.  We got plenty of gifts at the showers and beforehand and I was honestly just glad people came to share the day with us.  I'm just grateful for whatever we were given and didn't harp on who didn't bring gifts.

Long time, no post....

I agree that going to a wedding and/or shower and not brining a gift (or at least a card) is rude however, I do not think it's nearly as rude as bringing a "re-gift".  This is especially true when it is a small crystal sculpture that has a crack in the side of it...and it has the gifters names inscribed on the bottom!!!  Yes, this happend to me and I still sent a "thank you for the beautiful crystal piece" note.

first session was mostly about our parent's marriages and how that has shaped our view of marriage and what we want out of our own marriage.  We both cringed a lot the whole time (mostly me) because I'm determined NOT to have the same type of marriage as my parents.

I'm inclined to agree--my parents aren't horrible, but my own mother has told me over and over--don't make the same mistakes we did!

On another note, after deciding the whole hotel block thing with FMIL wasn't a big deal, I actually ended up getting my way anyway. I feel bad I was so overly concerned with it, but I'm also a little smug because it turned out the hotel was going to make her pay for all extra rooms if they didn't reach 50% capacity

I think wearing transparent clothes with no underwear crosses the flaunting line. I don't mind cleavage, but I could live without seeing nipples. Save that for Playboy. That's just me though.

Cheryl, I hadn't seen that outfit you're talking about...yeah, that's a bit much

Okay, it seems like the movie will be good then.

I don't understand the boys wearing the skinny pants either, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Just to clarify, I don't think people should give gifts or cards at a shower and the wedding too.  That isn't what I meant.

Tiffany,
That's what I meant too.  Most of Bill's family and our other OOT guests sent their gifts ahead of time.
