I'm off tomorrow and I thought, "what the heck" I don't want to miss out on any fun.

emimayor · September 2009

Why do people have to be so contrary all the time. Let girls enjoy what they're doing. And I love having this bored, but don't be so reliant on it. Think outside the box.

Mariah&Steven · September 2009

It irritates me to no end when an older person automatically assumes that people significantly younger than them wouldn't know certain things. Just because you're older, doesn't mean that younger people don't know history or classic rock or historical events etc. My grandmother is celebrating her 80th birthday on Saturday. I have no real plans that day, but have no desire to attend, nor will I. I haven't spoken to her since the wedding and I've always known that she never really cared for me, so I don't feel like I owe her anything.I've had at least one or two bags of Goldfish crackers every day at work for the last 2 weeks.

I'm sorry if I ask too many or stupid WR questions, but I'm 38 does out and starting to get antsy that I don't have enough done or that my wedding is going to be lame : (

emimayor · September 2009

I don't have to spend every waking second with my husband. We love each other, he is my best friend, and I know that he will always be there. However, I enjoy my freedom just as much as he does. We don't feel the need to constantly rely on eachother for entertainment or companionship. I'm grateful that I have the freedom to do my own thing, including having my own time, time with friends, and/or even travel without him. And SCBride...it is everyone, including myself.

Oh one more! I think it's really sad that parents don't want their children to hear President Obama's speech about education. There's no propaganda involved and it's not him pushing any agendas! It's just a speech telling kids to stay in school, to study, and to try their hardest. I had no idea I was living in a country where so much close-mindedness was going on and I think it's sad a parent would keep their kid at home from school just because they were worried their child may have to hear a speech from the President. What makes it even more sad is that this kind of uproar didn't happen with President George H.W. Bush wanted to give a speech to students. It was welcomed with open arms. How's that for hypocracy?

Mariah&Steven · September 2009

I guess Emi and I were the only one's who had stuff to get off our chests

Oh well..

SCbrideinTX · September 2009

Emi - well I know that I def. ask some random things, but I just don't really know who else to ask most of the time. I'm one of the first ones among my college's friends to get married and I still don't know all that many people out here, other than the people I work with, and I'm sure they don't want to talk about my wedding all day. So typically, it just makes me feel better to get things off my chest, even if they are stupid...

Mariah&Steven · September 2009

And I'm going to flame Emi for saying "bored" when she should have said "board"

SCbrideinTX · September 2009

Not to be a post whore... but I do kind of have a FF"T":I am really disappointed that I've only gotten one wedding gift so far. I know it's still early, and that sounds really greedy, but I keep hearing people who's wedding is after mine taking about their showers and their gifts and I'm bitter, lol.Nothing has been bought off my registry. Boo!

Mariah&Steven · September 2009

Alyssa, Emi (or anyone for that matter) said any of your questions were stupid. ?

emimayor · September 2009

How is "thinking outside the box" stupid OR random? Am I missing something? First of all it is flame-free. And secondly, you're singling yourself out. I admittedly said everyone, including myself, is reliant on the board.

alfdallas21 · September 2009

I never participate in the FFT posts cuz I typically don't have much to say but love to read everyone else's...LOL!...but recently I do have something to post ((clearing my thoat as though I'm about to make a major speech)) -- why can't people just be happy for you whenever you are planning something or have something to say about YOUR LIFE?!...I am planning my DH surprise 40th b-day party and I THOUGHT my friends would be happy, not excited, but happy just to show support...NOPE, just the opposite...I keep hearing "why are you planning so far in advance (his b-day is in March)?!" or "why do you want to spend alot of $$ on a dang cake?!"...ok mind you when my friends were planning their DH parties several years ago, they went all out = trip to NYC for one; trip to CHICAGO for the other; and a fab party on Lake Ray Hubbard for another...I was very supportive and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread...but I'm not getting the same support...so I've decided not to discuss my party planning anymore, when they receive the invite, that's when they'll know what the heck is going on! ((walking off the podium and handing the mic to another DFW knottie!...LOL!))

shandars · September 2009

I so do not want to have dinner at the place we are having my birthday party Saturday. I guess that's what I get for having my birthday with two other people.I didn't like the siggy idea for pictures with your dad. If that idea won, I think I will have to not read this board until they pick a new one. Looking at pictures with people and their dads makes me miss my dad. I know one day it will get easier, almost four years later, it still hasn't.If you don't think my puppies are cute, there is something wrong with you!

SCbrideinTX · September 2009

No not directly, but I felt like the "don't be so reliant on the board comment" was including me. Maybe I'm just being too self-absorbed, lol, but her response to my ceremony question kind sounded like "Who cares what other people did, you can do whatever you want," which made me think that was somewhat geared toward me.

emimayor · September 2009

Mariah - I totally deserve that. Ugh. Shanda, I'm sorry. I feel the exact same way, but about my mom - 2 years later. : (

SCbrideinTX · September 2009

Okay, I guess I was just being paranoid and self-absorbed, my apologies, lol. But I was just trying to own up and say that I realize I ask dumb questions occasionally.

fallbride1109 · September 2009

My daughter turns 16 in January and if there was any way I could get her birthday cake from Charm City Cakes I would do it in a heartbeat. I wouldn't care what it cost or what anyone thought.Some people will go to great lengths to find fault in another person.

shandars · September 2009

Thanks Emi ...and I just saw that did win..ugh

emimayor · September 2009

"Who cares what other people did, you can do whatever you want," You took it like I meant it. It is your ceremony and the beauty of it, is that you CAN do whatever you want. We were limited because of our faith and our church, so embrace your freedom.

SCbrideinTX · September 2009

Stephie - Duff was at my alma mater (University of South Carolina) yesterday! I wish I could have been there. He rocks!!

Jay&Marissa · September 2009

I've been cheating...on you all...with another board...

SCbrideinTX · September 2009

Marissa - GASP! LOL

fallbride1109 · September 2009

Oh no, I feel terrible now. I asked for suggestions for the siggy challenge and that was the one that won. I thought of this very thing AFTER I did my post. But then I thought, well, maybe people in Shandars situation would still like to share their pictures. But that's easy for me to say, since I have no idea what that must feel like. We can change it if people think it is insensitive, I would totally understand.

Jay&Marissa · September 2009

Stephie--in the younger picture your dad reminds me of: 1. Bill Murray 2. The father of some kids I nannied for 3. A character on Private Practice 4. And an old boss Weird.

Mariah&Steven · September 2009

The Duggars gross me out. Seriously, 18, going on 19 kids??? I think it's even more messed up that their own grandchild is going to be older than their youngest child.

stephl3055 · September 2009

I don't want to celebrate my birthday with DH's family this year...okay, ever. His birthday is 9 days after mine and he suggested doing a group birthday for the two of us at his parents on the weekend that falls in between our birthdays. I told him not to make a big deal out of it, and explained to him that I hate a lot of attention and things being about me (I really do). But honestly, I don't want to celebrate it with them because I know they really don't care that it's my birthday and I don't want to see them have to fake it. Or I guess my greatest fear is that they won't fake it at all, and they will go on with their usual routine which is all of his siblings being up in their rooms on their computers and his parents sitting in their room watching TV.

kris928 · September 2009

Here's my FFT that is work related. I'm not sure you guys remember complaining about my self absorbed diva coworker. Well she is having her bday party this weekend and my other coworker is going. My coworker and I were talking and she said that diva actually told her to meet her at her house before the club so that she can fix her hair, do her makeup, and let her borrow some shoes....because her and all her friends "are 10s and everytime they go out, people always stop and stare." WTF!!

Mariah&Steven · September 2009

Kris, that's AWESOME! LOL

Donnaaries · September 2009

Marissa, LOL!I have no issues lavishing my close friends with gifts and showers and experiences when it's their weddings, but if I'm just so-so friends with you, please don't invite me to a bridal shower, couples shower, lingerie shower, and shell out $160 for FI's tux rental. I'm not expecting you to do half of that for my wedding, please have some sensibility.
