Ok so I have been missing the Knot since some time onf Thursday so it's going to take me a few minutea to catch up on what I've been missing. I feel like I've been away fro a decade! (Is that norma? IS there a knot disorder where if gone too long one stats missing it so much that the start talking in acronyms and their FI thinks they are nuts?:P)Ok so here'a quick recao so as noto to bore you with the tragic details of a trip from my mother.She arrived on Thursday evening to me home alone. The FI mysteriously worked out extra long at the gym that evening hmmm. He's a shady one sometimes. ANd then she started to shower us with gifts. Now the thing about my mother is she always brings gifts no matter how much I BEG her not to. because I have a light OCD probably with gifts of the knick--knack sort. I just don't "do" them at my house. and it drives her nuts that My house isn't chocked full of them so she brings tons of them everytime I see her. (Constant battle) On Friday we were left alone to spend all day together. And we managed not to argue too much on how she has the total wrong idea aboput what I want with my life and my wedding Blah blah blah. Friday nigth we met some of my friends (and my FI who skipped the gym because he loves me) at a bar near my house to hang out. IT wasn't too terrible, maybe because of the booze.Then Saturday we took her to meet Phil's parents. DUN DUN DUN. And it wasn't as bad as it could have been. SHe was VERY nervous so she stayed very very quiet. UNTIL we took them all to see the venue. And then all of her opinions started flying... the way we should set the tables.. the STDs we should have the way the favors (which she has picked out for us) and the place the head table should be.. (I could go on... she did) Basically that trip was cut short cause I had to get out of there. Sunday kind of flew by showing her around the burgh doing touristy type of things (although I did rip the a$$ out of my favorite jeans :'-( )Then Monday 3 of my BMs met us at my favorite bridal shop to do some dress shopping. They don't have the dress that I am in love with and nowconvinced that is MY dres
(More on that in anotehr post) but they did have the dresses that will now be my BMs and MOH's dress. Mom was not happy AT all that they would not let her take pics. SO she started taking pics anyway. I thought they were going to ask us to leave. But thanksfully the lady helping us pretended to ignore it since She won't be with me when I buy the dress.Quite embrassing really.I do love my mom really I do. But I was so stressed all weekend I am now SO exhausted I think I was holding my breath all weekend. I might just nap on my desk for the rest of the day! I missed you ladies. I'm going to try to catch up on the past few days posts now!
