B&M Monday

angelsong21 · April 2012

Ugh, back to work, back to work...

Is it Friday yet?!

ktwed1 · April 2012

That's my B&M too. Monday yuck! Have to be at work at seven. Well one day weekends are not enough. That's not even a weekend. I can tell I'm just going to be in a foul mood all darn day. And our temporary DM is rather annoying and I don't want to hear happy chipper voice today at all!. Ok I'm done for now.

cwaggoner07 · April 2012

My cousins and siblings sent me a picture from Easter that made me SAD.
My mom brought by some cupcakes and other goodies from the party, though. Gawd I'm rotten.

Overslept. Grr.

My insurance company totaled out my car on Friday thanks to the hail damage. He stopped when he hit $5300 in damage and asked us what our plans were for the car. We weren't planning on getting new cars for another two years.

=( That stinks. Hopefully you can get a good deal on something!

New: I just realized I've been miscalculating DH's off weekends, and he'll have off a weekend that I didn't think he would and made plans to go to a baseball game. Here's hoping I can get him a ticket.

I've never felt more disrespected by FILs than I did yesterday.

I don't have the energy to handle our parents with kid gloves anymore.

I'm beyond ready for this to be over. I'm actually dreading it.
Should have eloped.

CaseyS88 · April 2012

My straightener broke when I was getting dressed at the gym this morning...then I walked out and KICKED A SMALL SNAKE! Seriously....a snake in the middle of the sidewalk. I hope this isn't a foreshadowing of the rest of my week. Hello frizzy hair!

I said this at one point (and then included the comment about having a DW wedding). Bill said that my parents would never have allowed me to get married in a non-church environment. I then reminded him that my parents offered to give us $5000 if we had a DW. My FIL was a real jerk leading up to the wedding and I really haven't forgiven him for it yet (and we've been married almost 3 years).

1. Texting an apology? Really? Nope.

2. What does your FI say?

3. In front of the grandparents too? Wow.

professorscience · April 2012

So, I made these mozzarella- and asparagus-stuffed chicken breasts that I found online, and I was really excited about them, but it took so long to make (mostly to thaw the stupid chicken) that I ended up just going to sleep last night without eating anything -- just threw some foil over the top of them so they'd cool overnight and packed them up to eat for lunches for a few days. I'm really worried that they won't be any good and I'm sad.

aeliza06 · April 2012

Did bridals this weekend and I am pretty excited about them! I am bugging my photog for a sneak peek asap.

Wow Kathleen, you seriously have the patience of a saint. I know it is hard to see the big picture here but there is a light at the end of this very annoying tunnel.

winechic25 · April 2012

Kathleen, that sucks about the in-laws!! We have some slight cray-cray going on, but nothing of that magnitude! Amanda, part of the reason I don't cook as much as I should...everything I seem to want to make takes so much dang time!! A new B&M, I didn't realize they were starting our landscaping today, and they are currently outside of my office window with chainsaws tearing everything out. I could handle, except I have hours of calls starting shortly that I have to lead. Mute on, mute off, mute on, mute off....gah!!

Adryan08 · April 2012

Well we had our Engagement Photos scheduled for this past Friday, and things were going well until the make-up artist and the hairstylist both arrived 35-40 mins late, which resulted in us being late for the photo shoot by almost an hour! Thank goodness my photographer is so understanding so she will let us do the second half of our photos this week. But them being late really upset me and the FI is in the military so he hates being late period and starts arguing with me on the way to the shoot like it was my fault they were late, which made us not so happy on the pictures we took but most of them turned out really pretty... But still I'm not so happy with them so its safe to say, I'm looking else where for MUA/Hairstylists!

professorscience · April 2012

Adryan, I saw the pics that Meredith posted on her FB -- they were adorable!

Kylie, the sad thing is that the actual cooking process only took about 30 minutes. It was exceptionally easy to prep. The hardest part was just getting the dang chicken to thaw (even putting it in water took an unusual amount of time). I was a little disappointed that the breadcrumbs I put on top did not crisp the way I wanted. The chicken cooked fine, I just don't think it's going to be very good warmed up. I think I'm going to just do Whataburger for lunch today and then try the chicken for dinner tonight so I don't go hungry at school if it's not any good. H tried making dinner for me one night -- lamb chops and a potato gratin. It was delicious, but he grossly underestimated how long it would take to cook. I don't think we sat down until about 11.

In other news, I need a slow cooker.

Dear god I love mine so much. I got a 3 quart a few years ago, and we registered for a 5 quart, and a mini one.
My mom has 5 or 6 all in different sizes.
It will CHANGE your life.

See, I had no interest in getting one when we registered because I just saw it collecting dust in a cabinet, but now I'm seeing all these delicious recipes on Pinterest and I am regretting my decision. I think I'll ask for one for Christmas.

FebDallasBride · April 2012

Is it bad that I am sitting in my office thinking I could use a margarita right now? This weekend is my last weekend without work or personal commitments til June, and that is making me sad and putting me in a crappy mood.

Adryan08 · April 2012

Thanks Amanda!

FI is over the whole thing. He had actually just woke up from a nap and came into the kitchen about 2 minutes before it all happened.

I think we've decided that everyone is being preseated. There will be no family in the processional.
FI will walk his mom down, and then someone will walk mine. No special music for them, just whatever is playing.

That pisses me off because everyone (including FMIL)was telling me I needed ushers and whatnot for the processional. SO now I have ushers, I am paying for their tuxes..and I don't need them.

FMIL is supposed to call me today. I really don't want them hosting the rehersal dinner or using their hotel points for our honeymoon. I feel really awkward about accepting ANYTHING from them right now.

And I like using it in the summer because you don't have to use the stove or oven and hot box your house just to get a meal.
I also love coming home and hey look, dinner's done!

Sorry... can you tell I'm crock pot obsessed?

Your ushers can still escort people to their seats. Even if you don't do "bride's side/groom's side." At our wedding, the ushers asked people, "Friend or family" and only family sat on a specific "side." Everyone else just sat wherever the ushers put them.

I really love the whole being escorted to my seat for a wedding.

AshJohnson30 · April 2012

I have absolutely no motivation to work today. Nada. But months of 70 - 80hrs weeks will do that to you.

Crash - so sorry you are having these issues!! keep being patient and be thankful that FI is supportive :-)

winechic25 · April 2012

I LOVE my crock pot, and don't use it as often as I should...will take any suggestions on where to find good receipes... Also, Kathleen, we didn't have ushers and had a decent amount of family to seat, our groomsmen did it. Amanda, cant't wait to see your sneak pics!!!
