Friday Chit Chat

butterflyjumper1 · April 2012

It's 1pm. I don't feel like working. I just took a break to walk to the liquor store and buy two bottles of champagne for me and my fiance for his birthday weekend. I also bought him a package of peanut butter oreos.

what are you doing?

LADY324 · April 2012

I am eating a smart ones for lunch and waiting for 4pm to come! We got like $650 bucks to BB&B at our shower so I am excited to stop on my way home and buy us the vacuum that we desperately need!!

I am so over this work day. Can't wait to have wine and sushi with FI tonight

arunkumar · April 2012

I just ate too much at lunch and it hurts! I now have to help out another department by doing mindless data entry because my manager "volunteered" me to help out. Seriously, on a Friday? I can't wait until 4:30 rolls around.

MMM, peanut butter oreos sound yummy! I have huge cookie staring at me, but I'm too full to eat it...

ceglare4 · April 2012

I didn't know they made PB oreos! I don't like the normal ones because of the filling, maybe I'd like these.

I SO don't feel like working today. And since FI and I are going to Chicago tomorrow, we doing our cardio night at the gym right after work. So I don't get to relax until like 6:30. I am tired damnit!

And we need to grocery shop badly so I don't have enough food to get me thru the day so what am I doing? Pinning pictures of delicious food of course. Not helping.

How did this turn into a huge long vent?

syddy88 · April 2012

I got off work at noon today, we finished everything we needed to go over in class so they let us leave early. I am currently doing laundry. Once I am done with that I think I am going to head to Worcester to the mall and go to Fredrick's of Hollywood and see if I can find any lingerie I like for the honeymoon. We have very few places where I live to buy anything, so I am going to see what I can find while I am here.

Nancy00714 · April 2012

well, it's 7pm here. I just finished giving an english lesson to a really boring student. I'm BBMing with my friend in Seattle and at 8.00 I'm having a facial done.

Peanut Butter oreos!! OMG! I had no idea they existed! Are they chocolate cookies on the outside?

mint oreos are the best!

bridetobe71412 · April 2012

I don't feel like working, either! Just had a green juice for lunch. It wasn't quite that satisfying, but I'm going off tonight with fiance so I wanted to eat something small for lunch.

Champagne and oreos = what I would have if forced to choose a Last Meal.

Cannot wait for STEAK AND WINE tonight! I haven't had a date night with my fiance in . . . like a month? We've had to cancel every single one. Fiance said he's going to have the Carpetbagger Steak (<---- clicky). I will probably just get a filet because that's what I always get. With a side of creamed spinach and truffle mac and cheese mmmmmmmmm.

lvissers · April 2012

Its only 10:30am in the morning here and feels like it should be atleast 4pm already. Went to bed late and didn't sleep well last night. Going to be a long day, but hey at least it's Friday! I didn't bring lunch, so thinking what I should get...maybe a subway sandwich. I'm super excited for our "date night" tonight too. Going to this amazing casual fresh seafood deli place before our dance lesson where you choose your fish and then they cook it for you.

Lady - I LOVE sushi! I'm hoping in Aruba we can get some good sushi one night! Have you heard of any good sushi places in Aruba?

Bridetobe - your steak dinner is making me hungry!

butterflyjumper1 · April 2012

I love random threads.

ummmm bridetobe that description of your meal is making me drool. oreos + champagne would be my choice for a last meal, too!!! only I would want to have a little milk for oreo dipping - I would eat the oreos + milk first, and then switch to chugging champagne.

LADY I LOVE THE MINT ONES TOO!!! but my fiance is addicted to all things involving a combo of peanut butter + chocolate so these are perfect for him for his bday.

I also got him a Bacon periodic table t-shirt. it's the perfect thing which combines his love of science and his love of all things bacon.

Butterfly that shirt is so awesome!! I love it!

And lady the mint oreos are the best

I actually have nothing to do at work and I will be here until 5pm.. Thankfully it is already 2!!

michelle11988 · April 2012

I just finished a lunch of pasta and chicken and vegies topped with feta cheese, mmmmm. I'm really tempted to go have a beer in the backyard but its only 130

. We found out late yesterday afternoon that we might not be closing Tuesday, as in a slim chance due to two title defects! The good thing is that my boss called me at 11 at the office and said he didn't feel like coming to work and that I should leave at noon! So yay now I have the day off with FI.

bridetobe71412 · April 2012

butterfly - One of my BMs swears bacon is a food group.

Also, I want to do something stupid. I want you lovely ladies to give me an opinion on our wedding website. I need help! I think it's too wordy, but I don't know what to cut. I also don't know if it's "pretty" enough.

If I post it, will you guys take a look before I delete it in about an hour or so? I don't want it out there for infinity but I do want y'alls opinion. (Not sure why I said y'alls but I am not retyping.)

I have not heard of any sushi places in Aruba yet. A girl posted on the HM board about Aruba and places to eat and things to do today check it out.

yes post it :)

bridetobe71412 · April 2012

Here's the website. Please be as harsh as necessary. I want this to be helpful/clear for our guests.

[DELETED, SUCKERS!]

I honestly am not going to be offended if you say it sucks. We can't change the wording for Accommodations (it's from the hotels). Other than that, suggestions on formatting and wording would be welcome! I pulled some of the wording from another Philly Knottie's website.

Also, Colleen, I need to incorporate some of the info you gave me, so it's not finished. I did add National Mechanics, though!

bells24412 · April 2012

5pm can't come fast enough!! I just came back from a walk from lunch time since it is no nice here (71) and I did not want to come back in to sit in front of my computer again. Half the day is over I keep telling myself, but it just doesn't seem to be working. I should keep nips of alcohol at my desk. lol.

bridetobe71412 · April 2012

Also, please don't quote my previous post as I intend to delete that website in an hour or so. Thank you!

MeaganR12 · April 2012

My FI's mom and brother are staying with us in our 800 square foot 1 bathroom townhome. I love them and I'm so excited they're here but there's NO.ROOM.

butterflyjumper1 · April 2012

meagan - that would be horrible, I can't imagine being in that close of quarters with FMIL - I love her and everything, but yikes!! I hope you make it through the weekend ok!!

bridetobe - I am going to send you a PM in a minute

today seems to be one of those days where all we want to do is go out and drink!!!!!!!! I really can't wait to crack open the champagne that is currently sitting on my desk!

MeaganR12 · April 2012

bridetobe-I don't think it's too wordy, I think it's very thorough. If anything, I think restaurants/bars could be lumped together with attractions/activities. I think the map of philly could be included on that one page as well.

ETA: I also think it looks really pretty! I didn't comment on that first because I was just focusing on the content, but the layout and design is very nice.

lvissers · April 2012

bridetobe - I love your website! So pretty and super informative! Makes me re-think my own. I love your format with the flowers as your design, very elegant. I think you did great on including information for your guests and the pic on the first page is so cute of you and Fi. So fun to put faces to names. The only small suggestion I would say is to just say "links" on the side of the page instead of 'hyperlinks'. I thought it sounded just a little odd. other than that, I would be so proud of myself for putting together a website like that :-)

bridetobe71412 · April 2012

butterfly - Duly noted, will check in a few!

meagan - Great suggestions. I will see what I can do about that. I'm not super tech-savvy so even including a map was a major accomplishment for me!

lvissers - Thank you! Another great suggestion. You're right; I sound as tech unsavvy as I am.

KEEP EM COMING.

butterflyjumper1 · April 2012

I agree about the hyperlinks!!

colleenm18 · April 2012

THe page looks great and you have some great restaurant suggestions!

Continental and Union Trust are Fantastic options!

Lolita is also great and I have been trying to make my way to Franklin Bar so I am excited you included that!

I also dont think its too wordy I think it gives people a great sense of what to expect and what they can do!

LADY324 · April 2012

I think it looks great too. I triple the hyperlinks comment.

bridetobe71412 · April 2012

Hyperlinks --> CHANGED!

Thank you ladies.

I will wait a little longer then delete it!

Butterfly - Love your suggestion about including more info on us and our wedding party. That's a great idea. I'll just clear it with the ladies/gents before putting details about them, although I'm sure they could not possibly care less (they don't seem to like my emails . . . lol).

THANK YOU LADIES.

butterflyjumper1 · April 2012

you are super welcome!!! I am glad you like the idea!

and yes, we actually did ask if it was OK to put a pic of all our peeps up on our website for legality sake

so I understand!! I am sure they won't mind, everyone has really loved seeing our BP members so far!

PS fiance and I spent about 4 hours searching for a pic of him with his brother in law. we never found one. I ended up having to crop one that I had taken of Thanksgiving of the two of them that is awkward and horrible. Hopefully if you decide to put up pictures of yourselves with BP members you don't have any issues with finding pictures!! It was kind of embarassing how bad the picture was with him, haha.

PS I might crash your wedding now that I have the deets on it.

k8888 · April 2012

bridetobe - Great job on your website... it's very thorough without being too "wordy."

I wish my friend asked my permission before writing about me and putting up a picture of us on her wedding website... I would have said "yes" anyway, but it weirded me out that she didn't even bother to ask first....

bridetobe71412 · April 2012

YOU CAN ALL CRASH THE WEDDING! Assuming, of course, you're not getting married on July 14th (sorry Bmore -- btw, where is Bmore?).

ps - for some reason butterfly, I PMed you back, even though we're talking here.
