VENT.

This is going to be long, so I'm warning you in advance. Feel free to close this browser. It's hard to be frustrated at such a happy time of the year, but can I just tell you guys, I'm sooo annoyed with so many things right now.

1. I went to pick up JP's wedding band today. There was an engraving on it, which actually comes with the ring. However, when I placed the order I said no to  the engraving. Yet, there it was today. I  had to replace the order. Awesome #1.

2. My BM dresses still aren't here!!! They were supposed to be in early-mid October. I call October 17, they tell me they've been shipped and should be here within 2-4 weeks. 4 weeks passes and I call last Friday. The girl didn't know what was going on, but said she'd talk to the corporate guy that deals with Dessy orders and would call me on Monday. No call Monday. I call today and get the mother freaking run around. Apparently, since my wedding is still far enough away (100 days btw!), they felt it would be okay to delay an order for 7 BM dresses!! Once they've apparently been "released," whatever the F that means, they should arrive in 7-10 days. She said with the holiday they will hopefully be released (again, wtf?) by Monday and arrive within the next 2 weeks. Thank you sweet baby Jesus we ordered them so far in advance. After all my b!tching, they said they'll ship free of charge to my one OOT BM. I'm glad you're being so accomodating! Awesome #2.

3. I got my second round of invitation proofs, way later than I should have, mind you. The font was all messed up and the wording was in two different points of view. Although I must admit, I should have noticed the wording factor with my first proof, somehow I overlooked it. Regardless, the proof was all wrong and looked funny with the font. Plus, the woman that owns the company has been flaky with emails. I was supposed to have both sets of proofs by a certain date and both times, I waited like a week after the due date, finally emailed the girl, and her response both times was something along the lines of, "Oh, we sent that email last week." Really?! No you didn't. Such a mess, which you wouldn't think would be the case when you spend over $600 for 125 invitations. The final and correct proof should be on it's way and we'll have the invites in a few weeks (you know, only days before we send them out the last week of December). Awesome #3.

4. I had a filling come out over the weekend. I went to the dentist Monday and he said I needed a crown. Okay, nbd (no big deal), I already have one. However, apparently my gums were too inflamed and he didn't want to do the crown right then. I needed a deep cleaning in the area and I'm going back in a week to get the crown. Again, whatever, it has to be done. My favorite part, though?! I may end up needing a root canal before he can put in the crown. I had to get one where my current crown is and let me tell you, I'm not a fan. It was an awful experience. But, oh, it gets better, even with insurance it's going to cost me $550. That's after the $120 I spent this past Monday. Really?! Why do expensive things have to come up when I need to do Christmas shopping, save up for what's turning out to be a 30K wedding (without rings, HM, and rehearsal), and our honeymoon. Uggh, so frustrating! Awesome #4.

Okay, end vent. I know that I should be grateful for all that I have, which I most certainly am. In the grand scheme of things, this is nothing. I just really wish I didn't have to deal with all of this right now. That's all. Thanks for listening for those of you that made it to the end.
