Friday Night

Normal, healthy feelings, MuSu.

Is Muni still in here? If so, I texted you and I have questions.

Thanks for validating my whines, guys. Its true that I will save money, but I still hope to be invited to the bridal shower and bachelorette -- I am pretty close with her sister who I'm pretty sure is the MOH. I'll make sure I will get all of us HS girls invitations to those things. I couldn't imagine us not being invited though, hah. 

One of the other girls in that same group (my WP) is also engaged but their wedding planning is kinda just in limbo right now. I can't wait to plan a shower for her.

Okay. These heaven things are probably the most magical thing I have ever baked. Ever.

ArynBaker

LDY, we have a GTG next week! You'll get to talk to lots of us IRL then! 

Lizzieyounce

I love throwing parties, MuSu....showers are fun.

pokepoke27

LDY - It's understandable. Are you a SAHW by choice atm? Or are you having a problem finding a job? It sucks that you're out of commission. Maybe you should suggest a movie on the couch or something?

I've never been able to throw one, yet, Lizzie! My BMs put together my bachelorette and it is honestly one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I was so grateful because they went all out and made sure I didn't spend a cent that night. Which I know is expected, but we're all just out of college-ish and so I know they don't all have a ton of money, so it really meant a lot.

Oh gosh Barbie, I just read your blog! I just want to reach through the computer and hug you. I will say some prayers for you and the little one!

Well, we moved to NC for H's job at the beginning of the month, so I had to leave my job. Unfortunately I haven't found anything yet. It's only been 2 weeks, but I'm freaking out about it and I'm miserable. I hate not working. I'm tempted to go be a waitress or something I can get rather easily...<div>

YAY FOR GTGS!!! I can't believe that's NEXT week! YAY

Musu, I totally get feeling bummed about that. I have a feeling I won't be in too many weddings. My best friend will for sure have me in hers, but other than that I doubt I'll be a BM for anyone else. Which kind of sucks, because I love dressing up and having my picture taken, and throwing parties, haha.

Poke, I think I'm going to make those tomorrow!

Puppies are great cuddle replacers. 

I bet your party will be fun, Lizzie! I had a man of honor instead of a woman (see sig pic, that guy next to me) and another best guy friend of mine at my bach party. It was a blast.

What in the name of the sweet tiny swaddled baby Jesus is that amazing confection?

LDY - waiting tables is a good way to meet people.  And from my experience - wait people are fun to hang out with .  And going home with cash money on the daily is nice too.

LDY - it couldn't hurt to do something part time while you look for something better. At least you won't be pulling your hair out. I totally get hating being out of work. I haven't been working since December. Before that I'd had a job pretty consistantly since I was 13 years old. 

Lizzie - you're just hilarious!

LDYGTR13

I was thinking that, Loopy. I met some great people while waiting tables before...but not when I was looking for a "professional" position. I'm wondering if being a waitress will look bad from a professional standpoint? 

FTR - I loved waiting tables, I hate the hours.

Has anyone booked hotels through Jetsetter before? I get their emails and a lot of the places look great, but I'm always nervous about booking through third parties - we had a credit card "stolen" through Expedia once.
