WHO WANTS TO SWITCH PLACES W/ ME? I WANT SNOW!!!

Me!

HisBelovedOne

I'm in the same place you are - and happy with no snow!

People I could do without today...

~a 24-year-old friend who has apparently forgotten what it was like to be a stupid teenager, and is nothing but judgmental to anyone younger than he is - latest example was someone younger than he by a whopping 4 years.

 

~a 26-year-old friend who apparently thinks he’s still in high school and is constantly creating drama - and who I can’t seem to get rid of for anything.

 

~another 26-year-old friend who makes the same mistake, with the same girl, over and over and over, and expects his friends to listen to his whining and “poor-me-pity-party” for the nth time (seriously, I’ve lost count of how many times they’ve broken up, and they only met a year ago!) when one of them leaves the other for whatever reason.

 

~a 20-year-old sister who thinks she knows everything and lectures me on how to (insert just about anything here), almost always in a snide or rude tone.

 

~the parent in the school parking lot who drops his daughter off, lets the foot off the brake and then, instead of paying attention to the parking lot where there are other cars and people, continues to watch the child walk up to the school building. If I hadn't seen him and stopped walking, he would have hit me and Kidlet because he wasn't paying attention.

 

Pretty sure that’s it… anybody wanna trade?

I will switch with you!!  We are expecting a blizzard today.

I can only B&M about the snow/blizzard and how bad the frigid temperatures will get. But today I get to go hom early and no classes either.

I am annoyed with the snow that's to come but mostly, I am complaining becuase I am sad that I missed my boyfriend's sister's wedding in India. I couldn't make it and I would have liked to be there, especially since we'll be getting engaged sometime this year and it would have been nice to meet all those people and be a part of the day. It was yesterday and I am very sad I wasn't there.

Sonali-- I understand.. FI and I aren't suppose to spend too much time together before we are married. Which means no traveling together.

Stephanie -- I won't trade but you are free to come here and be a prisoner in my house with me!! I would love to have the day off and go hang out with FI but no I'm stuck here. Tomorrow the whole family will be here because it iced over and Texans can't drive in ice! I might kill myself!

@DFW- hahaha! don't kill yourself. your weddings coming up! When you told me you were snowed in, i had to re-read the text. SNOW? IN TEXAS? Makes me think that my wish MAYl come true...Snow in florida... naaaahhh, wont happen.

We travel! We've been to Scotland, Vegas, Toronto, Chicago...But going to India where I'd HAVE to stay with his family (I have none there)...it's not a good look. In a non-dating culture, I REALLY do not want to be the first girlfriend they have ever met. And I know it may not get taken the right way. It was my Mom's wish that I wait to go until we're engaged, and I get it ...it would be really awkward. Although both our parents are understanding and open, it isn't the way I really want to meet his grandparents and family.

Sona-- I understand Especially when you are talking about family still in India. My mom had to explain to people why we weren't married already. Pretty much what was taking so long. With the catholic churches here you have to do 6 months pre-cana so it was her explaination to them. They took it but weren't fully happy wih the answer. Best of luck when you do go over. I'm sure they'll love you.

Our only big trip together so far was to India for the wedding, for much the same reasons...  however, we did move in together here and his parents came and stayed with us in our tiny one bedroom apartment.  I don't think his mom like it, but she lived through it.  But I think parents are often accepting but it's the extended family that's a problem.  SIL complained that people were always pumping her for information and trying to trick her into telling them things.

We live together, gone to weddings together (although the uncles and FI's father wanted us to stay in separate hotel rooms... which we didn't), travel and FI's family in India have been bothering him to bring me out there. We had originally planned to go to India for my birthday, but scratched that since became engaged and wished to save the vacation days for the honeymoon. India January 2012 for us!
