My FMIL, as you all know, is not very good at deciding when something is not appropriate for a given situation. Most recently, she decided out of no where that she want to announce our engagement in the local paper. Ummm, little late on that, we have been engaged for over a year. So yesterday she was blowing my phone up with texts asking my parents names and where i graduated from. Then, she asked if she could come over and pick up a picture that is currently my facebook pic. The convo (I kid you not), went like this:
FMIL: Can I come pick up that picture to have it put in the paper?
Me: I don't have a print of it, its just on facebook.
FMIL: How did it get there?
Me: It was on my camera.
FMIL: Can I take the camera to Walgreens and make a copy?
ME: Its not on the camera anymore, I uploaded it to my computer.
FMIL: So.... how do I get it?
Me: Save it to your computer from facebook.
FMIL: How do I do that?
Me: Ask one of your kids, I can't explain via text!
I understand that not everyone, especially parents, are up to speed on comuter stuff, but good golly! Also, the picture has christmas stuff in the background and is very distracting. We have an official engagement pic but she says she doesn't like that one as much. FI actually didn't argue with her and said "Just let her do whatever she wants." The other thing is that we know the real reason she is doing this and why she does anything... because it will get her some attention. She wants nothing more than everyone in town to come up to her and tell her how wonderful the article was. Gag me.
Anyway I thought I would share because it was kind of humorous. But I was also wondering if anyone did announcements and if so, did you include where you work? She kept bugging me about putting my job in there and I really hate this place so I would rather not.
