Throat Punch Thursday!!

Blondy214

I have seriously been waiting for this since like... Monday

Throat punch to my apartment complex for not fixing the plumbing in my building for HOURS! I called and told them that the toilet wasn't working (no fault of our own) and they said the whole building was having problems, and a plumber was on his way. He didn't get there until 4 HOURS later! Hello? I only have one bathroom in this apartment! Wtf?

Throat punch to people for not RSVPing! They have 2 more days, I'm still waiting on 56 responses. I had NONE in the mail yesterday or Tuesday. I just want to go to my mailbox today and see like 10 of them. 

Throat punch to my mom for messing with the seating chart that I started creating, and then trying to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal because the tool is so easy to use I can just change it back the way I want it. Um, how about you not mess with my sh!t?!

I think that is it On the bright side, I got that job I interviewed for, so I am excited about that

I feel better now

Man...you can pretty much copy Blondy's post for me haha.  I've been waiting for this since Monday, I have a few bones to pick with the apartment complex and I've had RSVP drama-they're also due this weekend.

The post office decided to forward my mail TWO WEEKS EARLY!!!!  WTH?!?!?!  Luckily I made a big stink about it as soon as possible and I only lost Monday's mail.  I'm willing to bet any RSVPs that were sent last Friday, Saturday or Monday even were routed to this central sorting location.  The post lady said that I should have them back in a day(this was Tuesday morning) so they weren't there on Wednesday.  Hopefully they'll be there today.  I've gone 5 days without an RSVP :-/  I also put a whiny AW post on my fbook last night and had one of my mom's cousin's RSVP "no" that way.  At this point, if you're going to save me a phone call, you're one of my favorite people and I will take your RSVP any dang way you please.

I think those are the main issues this week :-)

I'd like to throw a big fat throat punch to the snow that is currently falling. It's just a small snow shower, but it's depressing. I want spring weather now!

I'd also like the throat punch the 20 or so rsvps i'm waiting on - please send them before monday

Also, I'd like to throat punch our some of our groomsmen - they have not been measured for their tuxes yet. And some have not sent back RSVPs or let me know if they are bringing dates to the rehersal dinner.

Last one is to my skin. I have rosacea and it's broken out big time. Neither meds nor natural remedies are clearing it up. I do not want a red face in my pictures! GRR...

Oh that reminds me!!  TP to Jos. A. Bank and their stupid computer system.  Apparently only the store you make the original order at can alter the order.  Of course that store can't get their act together and update the order correctly even though FI has called them AT LEAST five times.  I nonchalantly walked into the store near me just to see if they had finally gotten the order right and it was mostly right except FI's tux colors were wrong, there were two groomsmen on there that dropped out of the wedding and one groomsman that we missing.  So no, they didn't fix anything, really.  Luckily, the associate I was talking to said that he would be happy to have me come in and sit down with him and he would call the Tampa store personally and make sure that they got the order fixed and then view it in their system to make sure it's correct. So that's where I'll be spending my Saturday.

UGHHHHH!!!

Congrats Blondy! That's awesome!!

TP to my friend's job for making him too busy to come to my wedding. I was totally expecting him to come and he was totally planning to but his boss just gave him a big fat NOPE even though he'd asked for the time off months ago.

TP to making tables up. It sucks and is difficult and not fun.

TP for me suddenly not remembering where I put a bunch of checks and now being worried that FI threw them out by accident.

TP for the huge zit on my chin. Not cool, skin. Not cool.

TP for this cold (which is finally almost gone) totally boning up my week and making me super behind on all the things I need to do for this wedding. I'm really starting to freak out about having enough time to get everything done...you know...without wanting to shoot myself in the face.

TP for TWO of FI's side last night just informing us that they might be bringing lady friends. Really? RSVP date was Sunday. And you weren't invited with guests. We're going to let it slide because we're under and whatever but...totally messed up the aforementioned table configuring.

tp to FI for setting his alarm go on for overtime and hitting snooze 4 Times so i couldn't fall back to sleep on the only day i can sleep in this week.

Ditto Redjellybean!!! BIG FAT TP to mother nature!!!! I would really love for it to warm up a little so I can atleast have my ceremony outside!!!!!! I am so OVER the SNOW!

I got my TP out earlier this week, so I don't really have too much right now. Things are pretty tame which is nice. But wanted to say, congrats Blondy!! And redjelly- my skin is all blotchy from weird sunburns so I look like a red and white patchwork quilt, thank god for heavy makeup you know? And I guess TP to the Limited.. I ordered 4 pants, all the same size. One fit great. Two fit well enough, that when I lose a few pounds they will be even better. But one didn't fit at all and was way long and those were the ones I was looking forward to the most! Sad day.

Congrats Blondy!

TP to our health insurance (that by the way costs me over $200 a month, just MY portion, the company says they pay the rest) for deciding not to cover XRays or bloodwork anywhere but their own little janky BCBS labs.  Nice.  I have been getting these things done in my doctors office every year with my physical and now I have to go to some ghetto clinic.  AND I have to take extra time off work to go to my dr, then the nasty lab.

TP Starbucks refreshers instant packets for not being 0 calories, WTF?  All drink mix packets are 0 calories!  Now I have to forfeit my string cheese to drink this!

TP My work for not offering free massages on Fridays like my FI's work does.  And for doubling my responsibilities (permanently)  4 weeks before the wedding.  Um, yeah.  Sure I can get everything done before I leave.

TP My Powerball ticket for not being a winner, AGAIN!

TP my brother's ex wife for throwing me under the bus in their custody/visitation hearing yesterday because I had a bachelorette party and my almost 9 year old nephew should not have been around me while I was drunk? WTF?  She drinks and used to smoke weed!  It's not like I drove him, he was only with me because his Dad, my brother dropped us off so we didn't have to drive drunk!  It was 8pm, by the way.  Not 2am.  The drunkest thing I did to him was tell him I loved him about 10 times!  I didn't act like a drunken baffoon in front of my little buddy. UGH. And by the way, BE HAPPY that your child has a Dad that is fighting for more visitation and custody.  Just give him equal time.  There are so many Dad's out their that want zero time with their kids.  Feel blessed that he loves him son so damn much.

Edit - He has not AT the bachelorette party, of course.  He was just in the car when my brother picked me up to drive me there.

TP to one of our ushers (and I mean that in the nicest way possible), who STILL hasn't gotten fitted for his tux. I have emailed him, FI has talked to him, FI has talked to the guys WIFE, and still he remains the only one out of eleven that appears unable to step into a Men's Warehouse for five freakin' minutes to get fitted. We're going to get hit with a late fee if he's not fitted by tomorrow. (Only $20, but still.)

The biggest eff you is that FI and I are paying for the stupid tuxes. I told FI to figure it out today, because if the guy isn't fitted by tomorrow, I'm going to have him taken off the group rental. At that point, I'm going to assume he's fine wearing a suit and no longer wants to be an usher.

Congrats Blondy!!

TP to work for giving us impossible deadlines! Everything has to be done by next Friday. Granted we can do this, it's just clients are not happy with this. I've already dealt with 3 upset people today. Calmed 2 of them down and the third hasn't gotten back to me yet. My coworker requests I TP our higher ups, so TP the higher ups from him, lol.

Almost had to TP David's Bridal. We thought they lost my BM's shoes. They were getting me another pair but then discovered they gave her shoes to my other BM. They wear the same size so no big deal.

Yay for not TPing my mom for complaining about my dress. I literally would have TPed her. But I will TP her for complaining about my FMIL not helping out with my shower last Saturday. FMIL made the favors and cooked the food, both of which took time and money, and my mother was upset she didn't contribute more. FMIL was up for HOURS making those favors, and didn't sleep the night before the shower to cook. Yeah, nice one mom.

That's all I got for now.

TP to the girl we just hired at work 2 weeks ago for quitting! and another one got fired so can we say short staffed!!!!

TP to people who don't RSVP

TP to finding out we won't be getting our house right away after the wedding so FI and I either have to live out of his boss basement or live apart

most of all TP to myself for being so stressed and emotional without even realizing it

melicifant

TP for those RSVPs. 198 invited and 67 rsvps. Deadline is Tuesday. I did think it was funny that we made the guest list in order of who we thought of inviting. We have gotten rsvps back from the people we thought of first but only 1 from people further down the list.

TP my "good christian" neighbors who refuse to pay for their fence falling down and won't even help put the new one up. They have 1 dog and I have 2. It is the fence between our yards so I bought all the stuff and have my son installing it. Because I so had an extra $400 to spend right now weeks before my wedding while I am unemployed.

TP to FI for agreeing to closing on his house(he is refinancing) next week on my birthday. So instead of me getting to take the trip I planned we will be on his side of town signing papers. Ok, he gets a half TP for this, the house payment goes down by $200/month and we get to skip the April payment so we have more honeymoon $. But why close on my birthday?

Throat punch to this cold. I'd really have preferred not to get sick with 17 days until my wedding, seriously.

Throat punch to everyone invited to the wedding. We're at a 51% decline rate, that's insane! I was expecting like 30% but 51%?!?! And to add on to that, people who are coming to the wedding who we invited to a mellow hang out type bachelor/bachelorette party this weekend ... 3 people responded! Only 3 of like 15 - 20 people. So apparently we're very popular and well loved.

Throat punch to my dumb old house's dumb old plumbing. I really didn't need to spend an extra $120 to have someone come snake the pipes today... really I didn't... but apparently the pipes thought otherwise.

Throat punch to everyone who finds out we're taking a cruise for the honeymoon and the first words out of their mouth are, "I hope it's not on Carnival, hardy har har." Seriously, Carnival is having some issues on a couple of their boats, but you know what... so do other cruise lines all the time but it's not getting reported because spotlight is on carnival right now. Get a grip people. If I let something like that scare me I'd never get in a car, or a plane or anything like that which has a much higher likelyhood of crashing than a cruise ship having a malfunction!

Finally, I give myself a throat punch for not thinking it through and buying the wrong color caulk for the bathroom effectively doubling the amount of time it will take me to finish making it look nice before guests show up in a couple weeks. :P
