    Dear Mom,
    Please PLEASE schedule a visit with a therapist.  I need someone besides me to tell you that your thought/feelings process is not working and it's obvious that dad and Mike aren't willing to do that.
    Love,
    Daughter at the end of her rope
    PS - Using "I'm afraid to bother you" as an excuse does not hold weight when you've interrupted my work day today THREE times, and once yesterday.  At least if you're going to interrupt me, make it for a good reason.  kthx

    I confess I'm going to S. Jersey this weekend for a wedding and will be within 20 minutes of my hometown.  I reserved a hotel room and don't really plan on hanging out while I'm down there.  They'll all be mad, but they can suck it because no one ever bothers to come visit me.  Life isn't always at your convenience.

    AW: Some of you saw on FB, but DH bought me a flower and a cd the other day.  He attached a post it that said "Hope these cheer you up a little :)"  I brought the post it to work and stuck it to my monitor because I'm a dork haha.

    Awww Hilary that's super cute. :) I have a birthday card that SO gave me at work because when I'm feeling down I can read it and it makes me laugh and feel better.

    Detour through the Philly Airport - WHAT?!  haha oh man!

    Confession - I just told my mom I was busy and had to get off the phone.  Reality: I get angry when she calls in a weak signal area... doesn't help anyone when I can only hear every other word, then the call gets dropped.  And I don't feel like dealing with her today.  TOM is at it's peak, and I have 0 patience.

    Consider yourself $15 closer.  My company matches contributions but that takes awhile for them to send it.  I will submit it though.

    Mana- it wasn't that bad of a detour. The directions we both had forgot to mention that we needed to get off of 291 on to 95 and then get off at 76. We made it work, and RA reminded me that I have to start looking at airfare for the honeymoon. :)

    I would like to AW my manicure.  I painted my nails on Sunday 5 minutes before dinner... and 3.5 days later, they still look awesome.  And I have natural nails.  Essie nail polish FTW.

    I'm test running the nailpolish that I picked out for the wedding.  It's called "Blushing Bride" and it's barely-there pink.

    AW - I <3 good people.  I just saw an old coworker (the only work person I invited to my wedding) and it brightened my day.  He and his wife are such good people.

    I was gonna say... I didn't see any nail polish. Then again, too many lemon drop martinis and yummy food will cause that to happen.

    RA- I am so sorry for your loss. 

    My vent is that the FIL's are inviting people that I've never met to the wedding, even though FI and I have been together 8.5 years.  How close could you possibly be to them if I've never met them and FI hasn't seen them in even longer than that?  And we HAVE to invite others, even though "they probably won't come, but will send a gift".  Famous last words.

    It mostly looks like clear nailpolish with a slight pink tint to it.

    My mom did the same thing. I gave her some leeway, but eventually just had to say no more. The last thing I want is to have them all rsvp yes. I'll admit there are about 10-15 people on our invite list that I'm really hoping decline.
