Wedding Etiquette Forum

It 3:15pm and I just popped open a beer...

I had a stupid  30 min meeting at work (on my day off), which was nothing like I was told it would be.

I walked home from work and the electric is out.. again...

I can't go to the beach because  my foot is wrapped and I do not want to get it dirty,

So I said "what the hell" and opened a beer and decided to knot

What is everyone else up to this find Monday afternoon??







What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    I am bored out of my mind! I am sitting at my desk waiting to go home at 5.  It took me 20 minutes to do all my work.  Now I am sitting here.

  • I am about to go to Quik Care because I am too sick to drive to the other side of town to my doctor.  I can't remember the last time I was this sick.  My body feels like it is burning and my throat feels like I am swallowing brillo pads.  And I start my new job Wednesday.

  • I'm debating on whether or not I should hold out for my upcoming doctor's appointment or run over to the university health services and have them take a blood test for me.  I've been completely exhausted and run down since Thursday.  The last time I felt like this I had mono/anemia flareup.

    I'm wondering why I bothered with the expense of a divorce since my first marriage wasn't legit.

    I'm also happy that dating while "separated" wasn't really bad because I wasn't really married.  I wonder if this also applies to the father?  If his first marriage wasn't in the knot, it's not legit either.

    Apparently men don't giveashit about marriage or divorce anyway, so it's pretty much a free for all I guess.

    I kid, I kid.

    I believe a random troll went on a tyraid one night, and in their path of distruction made a comment about my "sham of a marriage" because Rich's coworker's didn't know we'd gotten married. Now they know. So, now my marriage can be legit. Or something.
