- I confess I'm looking forward to the honeymoon more than the reception part of our wedding. We are doing the big dinner and fancy party to appease our parents and its just not something either of us are terribly excited about. We'll have fun I'm sure but we just aren't big party people.

- My FMIL really irked me when she asked if we could book a bigger space for the reception last week because she "forgot" some people and we're already over our max. I felt like a bitch saying no but there wasn't a way to say yes. But part of me didn't care because I was told this list was final over the summer.

-I confess that I think I found another dress that I love (in pictures) and I"m trying to find out who the designer is. I want to see it in person.

- I confess that the closer the wedding gets the more freaked out I get inside about having to be the center of attention for an entire day. That's so not me...I'm a "blend in with the crowd" kind of person.

- I confess that I'm in a WW slump. I'm still eating good and working out but the past 2 weeks I haven't been enjoying it and that scares me because I don't want to fall off the wagon.

- I want a job further south so Brian and I can move close to Kim (so we can have lots of play dates for our future children...and so we can skate together all the time).

I confess that my mom's lack of interest in anything wedding related is a little frustrating to me.  My mom lives in Midland and my sister got married in Saginaw in August and my mom went to EVERY SINGLE thing with my sister.  I understand its not as convenient now, but maybe some interest would be nice.  It's like she enjoyed the wedding planning the first time around, and now she's just like, "whatev."  So between her not caring, FI not having too much of an opinion either way, and FMIL not being too involved either, I feel like I'm doing this on my own.

THIS!


I also confess I haven't given it up to FI in 3 weeks. I feel bad but I'm just not into it lately.

I haven't been to the gym in WAY over a month and I'm eating Wendy's right now.

i'm tired of people on FB complaining about being "burnt out" ever friggin wednesday. for real. i go 30 days without a day off on the regs. 

i dont feel guilty for having two jobs when lots of people cant find work (which makes me feel guilty). i rationalize it by telling myself the people who cant find work wouldn't be hired to do either of my jobs because they have no experience (which is 99% true). although if either job paid enough i'd only need one- giving the other to someone else who needs money too. rarr. 

i'm probably the least zilla ever, but when i send out my one and only email to BMs with dress info, and details and QUESTIONS about their preferences, if they're allergic to any flowers or foods, OR  if they really think a limo would be more convenient. yes. you read that right. i just said that i'd book a limo if they want one for convenience. i would really appreciate it if they'd at least acknowledge it so i know i'm not sending it to the wrong address. and if i need to make changes to accommodate them (and i'm more than happy to do so), i can do so in a timely manner (vendors arent as flexible as little ole me)

here's my email, telling you everything i know so far, wear whatever you want, look how you want celebrate how you want, go as cheap as you want, just show up because it means a lot to me. and PLZ TO BE LETTING ME KNOW YOU GOT IT SO I CAN MOVE FORWARD. i have this feeling that it's going to bite me in the ass because there's going to be an objection way too late in the game for me to have any control over it and i'll get reamed because i said i could do something about it 5 months ago. 

srsly i have a cross-country BM who is terrified of flying and my mother is considering flying down there to DRIVE to MI with her to get to the wedding. i care so much more about the convenience and comfort of the people in and attending my wedding than having things a certain way, because it's not their wedding and they arent going to care. i'm trying to make it as painless and convenient as i know how, and i'm more than willing to suggestions on what works best for everyone else.

i think what's nagging me is that there's no equal regard- like some how i've set the bar so low that it doesn't matter if they blow it off completely. (but i have no intention of raising the bar, by any means.)

-My niece just dropped me from FB this past weekend and it doesn't even bother me. She is very HIGH maintainence and gets really ticked off when you don't agree with her or call her out on things. But she waited until she took some pictures from my albums to make a 'fan page' for her parents condo in Florida and the cottage in MI.
-My SIL drives me nuts. She thinks she knows everything about cars since she has had to get the minivan her daughter's driving fixed almost every other month. MIL car was having problems, called Dave and he told her what it might be and that my BIL was going to come up the next day and try to get it taken care of. MIL calls SIL (who lives in Cinci and has no clue about the inner workings of a vehicle except park, drive and reverse), and proceeds to tell MIL what she needs to do and that the problem she is having is 'this' and take it to her mechanic. Um, Dave and his brother know how to fix cars and have been doing this for a very long time and know a heck of a lot more than she does. MIL took the car to the mechanic and ended up paying $$$ she didn't have to have done. Dave told his mom to never call his sister about car problems after she calls him. He told her it would have cost her $40 for the part and she wasted $$$. MIL hopefully learned her lesson.
-We invited my MIL & SIL to have dinner with us on Friday after I pick them up from the airport. SIL wants to know what time dinner is because she needs to leave for home so she can be there in time to make a ckae for her daughter's 21st birthday (which was yesterday). Dave asks when she is leaving and she says 'Saturday morning". Ok. They get here, eat, relax a little before going to my MIL's house (an hour drive from our house and this way they miss rush hour traffic). I don't see what the issue is. SIL just likes to control everything. If she could control the universe, she would.

This!!! I actually feel worse because it hadn't even crossed my mind lately until he mentioned something this morning!

I confess that I've been eating junk when FI can't see me instead of doing it at home like I normally would. Stopping for McDonalds hash browns in the morning, etc. I'm a snacker, and I always feel like FI is judging me when I eat something between or after meals. We're trying to be healthy at home, but when I feel restricted, I crave junk food until I get it.

I'm opposite of a couple of you!  I'm craving some lovin and FI hasn't been in the mood.  WTF!!! 

I confess that since my boss and co-worker left this morning for a meeting, I've been on monster applying to jobs.  They can kiss it!  I hate my job and how I have to forward the phones to my cell if I have to go to the bathroom.  It's pretty sad when I have to bring my phone in the stall with me.  ::Shouts::  Unfair to labor!!!

i  confess that i'm SUPER pissed that i just cleaned out my cupboards and threw away probably close to $200 in old food (cereal, oatmeal, marshmellows, etc)... i'm tried of wasting money on food!! spend $150 grocery store to later throw most of it away!!

I confess i'm miserable when i show my "show dog" in the ring because i'm SO insanely allergic to her!! BUT i will suffer because i LOVE showing!

I confess that even though FI's dinner wasn't that great, it really was very nice to have him cook me dinner for once- although i helped with side dish and made dessert while he cooked chicken!

As for not "giving it up" lately... i confess that i might persue him tonight
