B&M Monday

TexanTreasure08

I'm gonna start this one early since I have a little free time at work.

I'm looking into graduate school to become a nurse practitioner and I'm thinking about applying at TWU since they have a program in Dallas. The only thing I'd have to do before applying is to take the GRE. Ok, no problem, except that it costs $120!! Seriously?? Ugh.

I am royally pissed that I got less than 3 hours of sleep last night.  Thank you random bout of insomnia and lightening/thunder.  Now I get to drag my butt to school!

aggiebug

I have my state boards today. ugh. its 100 T/F questions.  I hate T/F questions

but they I can't complain too much, its my last test of vet school!

I need to stop looking at the "myforecast" 15 day forecast and just wait for 9 days when the weather channel has their 10 day forecast.  I'm stressing because it's calling for rain on 4/23.  Please don't rain!

DFWIndian

Aggiebug.. I have a friend in Vet school right now at A&M!

I'm sleepy because of the storm... and it's Monday... Enough said!

Our tile is being replaced today and I' already sick to my stomach about the mess that is going to make. Conveniently, FI is out of town for work all week. Sigh.

MLandCJ

YAY! for shitty weekends!

My mom knocked over her water bottle onto my cell phone. I can text but no calls. FI ordered me a new one. An EVO Shift, after her ordered it I wish I would of ordered the Blackberry Style. It's so cute

MOH, I'm sorry, but you are FRUSTRATING ME.

This weekend also sealed the deal with the FIL's. I highly doubt we will ever have a relationshit (typo, but it stays)

Did you punch her?

What happened?

MLandCJ

Oye!

I forgot this. I mailed the invitations on Wednesday. I verified twice the cost of postage on two different occasions. Friday in the mail was a stack of 10 "in town" saying I needed extra postage. OF COURSE the post office was closed when I got it. I had to wait on Saturday to sort it out. I went up there and the guy informed me that there was a new girl who thought everything was extra. He took care of it.

Brooke Boo!
However, I wish mine would quit.

Lauren- I'm sure you hate this too, but I hate that I won't have an amazing reltationship with the IL's. I'm now jealous of girls who have decent IL's.
I could honestly burst out like a volcano I am so mad about what was done  and happened. TOTAL BS!!!

DFWIndian

Lauren, your ticker says you have about 50% coming to the wedding. Was that known before?? If you need fillers I know some knottie who wouldn't mind coming..lol

KendallandAlbert

*sigh* I woke up to find that the storms were so bad that it cracked my sunroof.  I am currently sitting in my backseat with a bucket slowly de-flooding my car.   Yay for checking the Knot while I rest on the phone :P

It's on my todo list. She's been acting really shady since like Decemberish. She used to text and call me a lot to hang out and all of the sudden it stopped. Sao I started trying to hang out with her and there was always an excuse. She would talk about how busy she was with work and stuff but then on her Facebook she would write all these statuses about hanging out with her friends and stuff. So we finally got together about 2 weeks ago, we went out to dinner, went bowling and then went bar hopping. We talked about stuff and she told me how she kinda felt that I wasn't there for her when she needed me and how she was going through a rough time. I apologized and I thought we had worked everything out. But apparently not. Saturday was the day we went dress shopping and she texted me the night before saying "I'm probably not gonna go tomorrow" it was her brothers birthday. So the next day I ask if she is going to try on dresses with us and she says no. And later that night I get this text "I don't think you should count on me to be in your wedding" me: "why" Her: "I just can't. A year ago when I said ok it was easier. But schedule is crazy already.. don't have time. Don't have extra money. Things are just different." Me: "Neither of those excuses are very good. Money- all you need is a dress. And I gave all the girls the option of me putting 50 dollars towards the dress as my gift for y'all being a part of the wedding. And time- all you need is aug 6 and the night of aug 5 off. You can get a dress on your own terms. I feel like I did something to you that you are not telling me about. I don't understand why things changed so much. And I thought we were fine after going out last week.... This really hurts my feelings and honestly, makes me pretty upset. It meant a lot to me for you to be a part of my big day and you meant a lot to me as a friend. :_("

Brooke- That was really well put. I'm glad you didn't just take it and that you stood up for yourself.

Thanks Courtney. I'm kinda bitter but it's her loss.

Brooke-  That sucks!  I'm sorry :-(

I forgot to add my B&M.  I need to turn in my final head count and I have had more people decide not to come to the wedding.  Unfortunately I still have a minimum to meet, so I have to apply that money somewhere.  It sucks that the alcohol doesn't count towards the minimum or I could just convert that money to that. 

Also there is so much drama going on in my family.  People are upset about not being invited.  People I don't even know that well.  But since one cousin wasn't invited, that whole side of the family doesn't want to come.  I didn't have that cousin's address and don't know him very well.  I know this sounds mean, but I honestly forgot about him because I've only met him like twice.  So whatever to them...I don't really want them there anyways.

I also found out that my FI's brother-in-law won't be able to attend because his dad was given only a month to live.  He has renal cancer :-(

LOL.

I'm sorry to hear all that sarah ): that really sucks. I have another one. I had my first fitting on Saturday and my dress was ordered too short. Not an easy fix.

tmacwin

My 10 yr HS reunion is this summer and I've decided not to go.  The planners are still harassing everyone for money.  Quit bothering me about it--I'm not going!

melissa0912

So tired cuz of the crazy storm last night that I've downed one red bull already.  5pm can't come fast enough.

DFWIndian

Brooke.. So sorry to hear!! It is her loss and she'll figure it out!

Sarah.. Sorry to hear too! As with Lauren we are all here to help you with that situation.. lol. I hate how wedding bring out the pettiness in people.

courtski2004

Brooke, I am so sorry to hear about your 'friend'.' I went through the same thing with one of my BM's in December, with the being flaky, not wanting to get together (she lives in Kansas, so it was sometimes difficult), but then seeing all of the things she did on her FB feed. She is currently trying to weasel back into my good graces, but after the way she hurt and disappointed me, I'm just not ready to forgive her for being a sh!t-tacular friend. FI is trying to persuade me to invite her to the wedding, but that is a no-go.

Courtney--I'm sorry to hear about the issue with your FIL's. If it is any consolation, mine are cray-cray. I am jealous of the cool IL's that are out there too!

My B&M--I hate doing laundry more than anything, and it is the only thing that I really need to accomplish today. Boo.

sparklingdiamond

Brooke-  how short is it?  A lot or a little?

My mom did make me feel better yesterday because she bought me some pink boxing gloves!  Woohoo!

</div><div>That really sucks. I'd be pissed at her for doing this. I mean we are adults, if she has a problem why not come out and say it instead of playing games and avoiding you.  So sorry you are dealing with this.

meghanttu08

Brooke-sorry to hear! Like what was mentioned-her loss not yours!

My B&M is..it's Monday..nough said. My hair is a train wreck, I didn't sleep well, I came home AGAIN crying because of work, I'm tired, and I dislike spring due to events such as last night/early this morning!

<div>Very much so!  I sometimes dreamed of having a close relationship with my future husbands siblings as well.  Don't really see that happening either... but it's hard when Chris doesn't even have a close relationship with them so there was little chance of me having one.</div>

brooke.anne

Thanks everybody for the support! And Sarah- it is about 2 inches short. We are waiting to hear back from the store how long it would take to fix it by sending it back in. If it will take over a month I am not going to be able to wear my boots that I got for the wedding. I am going to have to get some flats and that along with weight loss, which will help he dress drop and also steaming the dress should do the trick.

llc2011

Brooke  - That really sucks about your bridesmaid, but I think you message back to her was really good.  Are you going to have to wear shorter shoes with your dress?

ETA: just saw what you said about shoes...

Sarah - That's crap that your alcohol doesn't count towards your minimum.  If we didn't meet ours we were going to add a signature drink and I was going to suggest that, but it wouldn't work for you.

LOL on the 50%!  It's actually even lower because 5 more dropped out (but before I gave final payment so it's ok).  We're still over our minimum but if any drop out after I give payment I'll be sending out an e-vite haha!
