Wedding Woes

Weekend observations

1. MIL really doesn't know how to throw a party.  I know it was cake and ice cream,  but you'd think there might be a few drinks too.  She brought bottled water for her and sFIL and that was it.  Thank goodness there was a water fountain.

2. I thought chicken isht sandwiches were bad.  Whats worse is shredded chicken from GFS reheated in the microwave with ZERO anything added to it. 

3. SIL (not the stupid one) has put on a lot of weight.  She was never tiny, but she's gained a ton.  She's 41 and got married last year.  They were talking about trying to have kids and I can't help but wonder if she's going through something related to that or if something else is going on.  I hope it's happy weight.  She's such a sweet, sweet woman and has been through a lot.  She deserves all sorts of love and happiness.

4. In BFE I was on the smaller size of average for women.  I always felt put together no matter how little effort I put into it.  Here I'm a heffer. Seriously the women are just so well put together and you can tell they take care of themselves.  Also, there are 10 year olds with better fashion sense and better handbags than me. 

5. There are still nice guys in this world.  There were 2 single guys behind us at the game.  They were late 20's/early 30's both teachers of some sort.  They were talking about typical single guy stuff (girls, parties) but were also talking about how much they love their students and teaching and different things they do to support the kids. They were trying to be very careful with their language just for our kids. 

They got picked to do one of the between inning games.  One of the guys got a ball for doing it.  He came back and handed it straight to 6let.  Sooooo sweet.  (Dh bought them a couple of beers after that)

    Oh and sFIL had some RANCID BO Saturday.  Like I could barely sit beside him it was so bad.  Blech.
  • That's really sweet that he gave 6let that ball.  Aw.

    Yuck @ sFIL's BO.

    I could not imagine throwing any party and not supplying drinks, let alone an outdoor party.  What is her problem?

    It was an indoor party at least.  I don't know what her issue is.  She made 1 lb of pasta salad for dinner afterward.  There were 8 adults, 3 teenage boys, and 2 other kids (not counting M2).  She doesn't realize people take the smallest scoop possible so everyone gets SOMETHING then they get food later.  I know she doesn't want leftovers, but jeebus lady listen when your son is telling his teenagers not to take too much.
  • *V @ SFIL's BO and the chicken isht sammies.

    Your MIL makes my head hurt from shaking it so much at your stories about her.

    YAY for nice guys.  How sweet.

    I feel you re: being put together.

    sFIL is/was diabetic.  She knows that I've had GD twice and am already testing and being monitered.  There was another diabetic there.  I know it was only 2 hrs, but a couple of bowls of nuts would have been nice too.

  • Yeah, cake and ice cream just doesn't cut it.  Nice try but...boooo.

    Also...sad about your SIL...weight gain is hard and not just physically.

    Also ALSO, ew at BO.  **gag**

  • After-post thought: I always figure I may be "bigger" now (yes, I know I'll get chided for this) but in about 15 years I'll be the same and the smallest.  I am already seeing this happen now...I stay the same and others change. It works for me.

  • cake and ice cream sounds like a great party for a bunch of guests with sugar issues.

    dinner was dried out shredded chicken on a bun and the smallest scoop of pasta salad ever? that sounds disgusting. this whole thing is reminiscent of WW's wedding story where they were starving the guests.

    would MIL have been terribly insulted if you had sent your H out for some food?

    eww at stinky sFIL. I'm sure that was even worse for you with pregnancy nose. could it have been diabetes related? Would your H say something to him - he may need to go get checked out.

    there is no reason for a 10yo to have a designer bag.

    Barbie- we were leaving right after dinner so we just stopped somewhere along the way.  Everyone pretty much plans on eating again after eating there. 

    I think the BO was just the heat of the day.  I don't know if anyone else noticed because it's something I didn't want to bring up to anyone. 

    The kids generally just have little coach wristlets and I saw a coach eyeglass case.  It was just funny when I only have coach because sMIL buys that for Christmas.  There is just a lot of money around here.
