Welcome to Monday ladies...

No B&M except the Knot is switch out people's names.... like on my main screen shortgirltx started this thread and when I opened the thread it showed her as "squishy panda" .... and the other day Mariah was displaying as "AmoroAgain" and the only way I knew is because of her siggy.

Weird.

I have alot so let me vent! FMIL gave us 20 minutes notice when she was about to arrive in Dallas Saturday morning, I had to cancel all appointments to meet up with her so she could find her dress. She ended up just finding the first long blue dress she could find (I told her blue, silver, beige etc) I don't even think she really liked it, but whatever at least she has a dress. When we were taking her back to her car, my car started making an aweful noise and overheating, my FILs had to take us to my grandad's surprise party and my dad had to fix my car Sunday. Thank goodness he is handy and it only cost $60 in parts, but I had a complete nervous breakdown and only had wine for dinner Saturday night!

I had the hardest time getting to sleep last night, and while I'm ok right now, I'm going to pay for it later.

I took a hip-hop class on Saturday, and it was more fun than anything I've done in a long time. The instructor was seriously hip-hop. Like, the clothes, the attitude, everything. It was a total blast, but now my quads are killing me! What a great workout!

Edit: Also, I hear you on car stuff! My fiance's transmission had to be replaced last fall ($3000) and last week the radiator needed repairs because it was cracked ($400). It's always something!

squishy panda???  LOL.  The knot has been funky for me today.

We have come quiet far with debt/school loans but I looked at everything the other night and it feels like we haven't gotten rid of any of it, although in actuallity we have.  It also makes it seem like we will never be able to get a house.  We make decent money yet here we still are...

MIL has 'requested' that her and DH talk more often.  She has not called once since the wedding, it's been DH calling her and playing phone tag.  She has always had her phone glued to her hips but she never picks up when he calls her.  I feel it's a two-way street and for someone wanting something so badly and acting like her world will end, she hasn't done jack.

I had a pretty awesome weekend so nothing to B&M about today.

Car problems suck!

I feel the need to B&M about my stupid hair. It's really greasy today. I know I washed all my conditioner out this morning, but it looks like I dropped some bacon grease in there and left for work. Pony tail day, it is.

Oh and B&M at you, stupid rain! I don't like you. I'd rather be in the snow. My photographer (who lives in Kansas) posted some pictures of the snow on her Facebook. I miss the snow!

I have a feeling I'm going to come off as a mean knot girl...maybe for the first time...but c'mon!!

So this weekend I met FI's dad for the 1st time (he hadn't seen his dad in almost 3 years).  Wedding costs were brought up, which I find inappropriate since he's not contributing, so I kept trying to redirect the subject.  But they kept on and on (FI wasn't really helping the situation, but we solved that problem later) until I was visibly upset... very visibly upset.  Then FFIL said, "Well if you can't take this, then you won't be able to handle the rest of the family."  You know I can take being ragged on with the best of them- and believe me, I can do some ragging.  But I found the entire line on conversation completely inappropriate, and it truly pissed me off that I was made out to be the baby about it.  Sigh.

Cheryl, back in the day when we had regular drama, I loved getting to be the mean girl  and I probably should have saved that for FFF.

My only B&M is that I'm stuck at work when it's sleeping weather outside.

Shortgirl,
The only time Bill's parents call is when they want something.  "Help me with my iPhone."  "Tell me your opinion about this computer which I'm going to completely ignore."  And on and on it goes.  Otherwise, he's the one calling when it's time to "visit".

We are going to the cousin's baby shower and I'm really excited about it.  However, that is the day that Dallas Summer Musicals picked for our "Phantom" tickets.  We can exchange them but we got 5th row center orchestra!!!!!  I'm so bummed about this because I'm pretty sure our new seats won't be nearly as good. 

Last thing:  I decided to crochet a baby blanket for the cousin.  I'm already so far behind but I figure I can send it to her when she has the baby.

B&M - I'm sorry, but where did the weekend go?

It's quiet in my office.  I think because the weather is nasty a lot of people decided to work from home, which is fine.  The quiet just makes it seem like it's after 6, which makes today feel way too long given that it's not even 3:30.  It doesn't help that I can't see a window from where I sit, and therefore I have no idea about the passing of time other than to sit and watch the clock.  Oh, well...

I'm getting a head cold and it's really irritating me. Oh and I cried during a meeting with a co-worker.  We were discussing my goals for the year here at our office...and towards the end she asked me if I was planning on interviewing for a teaching position and I just pretty much burst into tears...and told her I felt stuck.  And then on top of that, my nose-which was previously stopped up-decided to start pouring like a waterfall and I had no tissues.  Ugh.  It felt good to cry and I'm sure the crying had a lot to do with the fact that I slept maybe 3 hours last night and of course this head cold...but still...it's embarrassing and I'm crossing my fingers that even if I don't get a teaching position this summer that at least I'll find a new job where I get more out of it and feel more appreciated.

Mariah,
I know how you feel about crying in front of a co-worker.  I once cried in front of one of our asst. principals and I couldn't look him in the eye for several weeks.  I hope things go better for you this time around.  If you need some advice, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I cried in front of an entire class last semester, and came near a complete breakdown by the end of the day. Luckily it was a small class of fellow MIS seniors and the teacher understood and felt bad because he kind of conered me in front of the class on a topic, but I felt horrible. I wasn't even that upset, it was just the stress of a bunch of things at once.

I hear you, Julie.  That's another part that bugs me.  She wants to be more involved in his life/feel more 'connected' except, oh wait, it's always about her.  I guess one thing we "have" is that we see it for what it's really worth.
