Confession

Vogt - I left out the pertinent detail that we're moving across the country in about a year. Any gift will have to be shipped. And for a freezer the shipping would be more than the gift. Oh, and she knows we're moving. In general, I just don't get why the people at the centre of the wedding give gifts to each other. Like bride and groom gifts, parent gifts, etc. Seriously, why don't we just put our resources into the wedding rather than adding the expense of gifts on top of the wedding.

lpstl, why does it always seem like the people who should know better are the ones that make the faux paus? It's the same as my mom's wealthy friend giving us a kitchen mat, and a less wealthy friend giving us our awesome dish set. No, I'm not expecting anything, but seriously? Lame.

Mag, you are correct, but it won't be mine forever

I'll have to turn it back when.

when I quit the job, or they decide to hire a professional to do it.The latter I just recently found out about, there was a board meeting yesterday that they discussed hiring a professional to do it. :(I have no idea why I can't finish a coherent thought on here, goodness.

Isn't it so weird how that works? We got $200 from a couple that had only been married for 8 months. And these freakin nurses who are like brothers to me give us $15? I seriously would have preferred just a card from them. But they're just guys. Clueless.

I know Nicole! What really gets me, is if we had made any minor etiquette mistakes, those people would have been the first ones to gossip about it and turn their noses up. Like when I suggested doing flat printing for the invitations, my mother reacted like I had just suggested we send an evite and said "Oh no no no, you can send those to people who don't know any better, but if it comes down to it I'll pay for thermography for the ones that go to my side!". Out of my mother's entire family we had one couple send us a gift. We had a family of four bail at the last minute, didn't even get a card.I probably sound like an entitled biitch, but damnit, it's the principal.

I am sick to death of my in-laws and I wish they were older and less mobile and wouldn't come visit as much. I'll be relieved when they're gone.

scoetto · July 2009

I want to go get a cookiepuss after work. And eat it all by myself.

kissybee · July 2009

lpstl - I don't think you sound entitled. I know it's not polite to say that you expect gifts, but seriously who goes to a wedding and doesn't give a gift??

I left work this morning at 9:15 with a stomach bug. I was actually hung over. It's the first time I've ever laid out of work without actually being sick, and only the second time I've ever been out sick. Guilt. I haz it.

Kati0105 · July 2009

Bec, you work too hard. I call in hungover/lazy probably once a month. I enjoy trying to invent new reasons though - my most recent was a strained hamstring. Somehow it healed itself during my mid-morning romp with FI

I confess that I don't want to stop drinking the Alliance Game Fuel Mountain Dew, even though it turns my poop blueish green. It's just too tasty.

My random confession: I think I have lost too much weight, but because my dress isn't in yet, I'm too worried about it fitting to consider gaining it back... and I hate that I am toying with my health for the sake of a dress. Btw, I don't think your expectation of a card/dinner/something for your birthday was at all out of line.

thesuninherhead · July 2009

Whit, I think you have the terms backwards, "A man who is engaged to be married is called his partner's fiancé; a woman similarly engaged is called her partner's fiancée." So unless alison is engaged to a girl, her partner is her fiance (one e), and she is his fiancee...

thesuninherhead · July 2009

damn knot! try again without fancy characters: "A man who is engaged to be married is called his partner's fiance; a woman similarly engaged is called her partner's fiancee"

NicoleSahara · July 2009

She IS engaged to a girl.

alisonz · July 2009

just to clear up any confusion... yes, I am engaged to a woman

thesuninherhead · July 2009

oh right- sorry Alison, I didn't realise and didn't check your bio (obviously!).

thesuninherhead · July 2009

(or read your sig. this is why I shouldn't post at 6 am!)

alisonz · July 2009

no worries!
