Throat Punch Thursday!

[Deleted User] · March 2013

TP to my bridesmaids for failing to communicate about when we needed to drive to Charleston for my bachelorette this weekend. We were supposed to be on the way there right now but apparently we're not leaving till tomorrow. Awesome: 8 hr drive tomorrow, hang out for a day, and driving 8 hrs back the next day. Ughhhhh, I was hoping for one more day to just relax and hang out with my girls but oh well.

TP to myself for not being more motivated this weekend. Get it together, self!

TP to the weather. FI is supposed to come home from Boston tonight but both places are getting snow. DD is so excited Daddy is coming home so please don't mess it up weather.

redjellybean128 · March 2013

TP to work for being busy and understaffed. And having to work late, causing me to reschedule my make up trial.

TP to time- Ack can't believe I have a month to pull everything together. Still have a ton to do!

and a TP to the post office and non responsive guests. I've received only 2 RSVPs this week!

Lastly, a TP to the gas company. Our meter broke and we were honest with them, and now we are getting the run around on what we offically owe. Grr...

[Deleted User] · March 2013

TP to non responding guests - Less than 2 weeks until the due date - I don't want to be calling 20 people!

TP to my nerves for kicking in hardcore today. I'm worrying about everything I could POSSIBLY worry about with this wedding and I really just want to be enjoying the ride - we're in pretty good shape for everything, but I'm just freaking!

TP to 50 Shades of Grey. I work in publishing and I'm getting tired of/disturbed by having to read all the really explicit BDSM stuff that everyone is putting out now. I know far more about flogging than I've ever had a desire to know.

TP to whatever sickness has attacked my parents. I feel bad they're so sick and that what they're worried about is getting me sick when I travel back and forth to NJ to finalize plans. Plus, we'll have to cancel my dad and my dance lesson and it's gonna be tough and stressful for both of us to find a time to reschedule. I really hope I didn't catch it last week when I was out there too...oy.

and TP to Duke and Coach K...just because we're playing them this weekend...and I really want to win...Doesn't really look like it'll make much of a difference in our tournament bid but senior night and bragging rights mean a whole lot still.

[Deleted User] · March 2013

Oh yea, TP to non responsive guests. I know they still have 16 days to respond but for real...the Save the Dates were sent out 6 months ago. You should know by now. Get off your butt, mark the card, put in the mailbox. Too easy.

phoenix870509 · March 2013

TP to everyone who hasn't RSVP'd yet. Deadline is Saturday and we're missing 20! That's over 40 people left! We're trying to figure out how much we'll owe the caterer, which will help us determine what we can pay for now. Grrrrrness!

TP FI's job for keeping him past midnight every night so far this week. When he gets home I wake up, then he wants to turn on the fan because he's hot and I've got the heat on cause it's 40-something degrees outside and I'm freezing cold so we argue about the fan. Then I go to bed pissed and have to wake up at 5:45 to get ready for work. Okay so that was a little bit of a rant there, but still. I am cold and have wet hair, the fan stays off and you deal with it. So TP to him as well for that. Ugh.

TP to work for still having nothing really to do. Mostly busy work but production is low. Then I have to hear about it from higher up and my co-workers. What do you want me to do about it!? I do not make miracles happen people!

*sigh* Only redeeming things are I'm seeing my super-awesome cousins this weekend, going to our friend's wedding and my puppy turns one on Wednesday. Is this week over yet?

lizrywedding · March 2013

TP to my 48 rsvps that haven't came in. Deadline is Saturday. Thats almost 100 people we still don't know about! TP to me for scheduling my self night shifts. TP to my sister/ MOH I requested one thing one for my BP and she was to lazy to call when I recommended and they are booked now. Ugh

orangehills · March 2013

TP to my dog for peeing all the time in her crate overnight and taking a dump most times too. I don't know what is up with her, but she's going to the vet next week to rule out any health problems and if that isn't the case- major behavioral training starts.

TP to work for being slow and boring and making this time before the wedding even longer!!

That's pretty much the only punches I have right now, I'm sure that will change as the day goes on haha

At least it's not vampire stuff right? LOL

blondii428 · March 2013

TP to a non-wedding related issue. At my job if you've been with the company 4 years you get 7 weeks of maternity leave. I will be one month away from my 4 year mark when I deliver so I only get 3 weeks. That sucks so bad!!! Grrrrrr

Ha, I'm reading a vampire novel today...we got those too!

adawn1981 · March 2013

TP - traffic. Yeah, yeah I do it every week. Today took another hour and a half thsi morning to go 20 miles because the freeway got shut down. Again. I feel bad for the people in the accidents and just wish that people were safer drivers.

TP - Work. Not only did you say that you were taking away one of my lines and you did not - Now you are making me the Point on the line. That means I get to do all of the work for the whole US on this line. I already can't handle what I have. Way to go for giving me more right before I leave for 2 weeks to get married and go on my Honeymoon. Guess what? I am not busting my ass to work ahead if that's how you wanna play. There is not time for that now. What gets done gets done, the rest waits until I get back unless someone atually helps me out for once.

TP - FI's work. I don't want him to go out of town tomorrow and Saturday. Whaaaaa.

TP - stores for not having cute dresses. Where do people shop for summery dresses?

haha! well you are just screwed on the book end then ;)

And adawn- check out Dress Barn!! Do you have one near you? Or online. They have tons of cute stuff!

jesslamb830 · March 2013

TP- To my dog for chewing up my favorite pair of flats!!

TP- To the retail stores here: can't find anything for the hsower or bachelorette party ugh

and TP- to trying to find a new job in a tiny village that I am moving too...ugh I just want to stay in Sioux Falls

bdpbride · March 2013

I echo the TP for our 30 missing rsvps - ugh!

adawn - one of the girls posted 6pm.com as a place to check for cute dresses. I found a dress I LOVED on the site and got it in yesterday. I was nervous since you obviously can't try it first but they have a good return policy but my fears were quickly calmed because I love the dress as much as I loved it on the model. I am almost as excited to wear that as I am the wedding dress. :-)

Christine9866 · March 2013

TP-to all of the guests who have NOT RSVPD YET!! The due date is tomorrow and we still are waiting to here back from 30 people!!! (majority of them are couples)

Sorry I am going to TP my FI--I just feel unsupported and that he is just hanging out letting me do all the work and watching me get stressed out and not even bringing it up to talk to me about it. We also tried to go review our music list last night and he had the nerve to tell me that he didnt like the must play list and we are on different pages. This list was put together by the both of us a while ago. Another TP to him for not making it easy to get our marriage license!

melicifant · March 2013

TP my sister for being a jealous pain in my booty. She is mad that I am having a wedding. I had one once and I don't deserve a second one. My mother had better not give me one penny towards it(according to her). Now I get to spend the next 3 days playing referee between my poor postpartum daughter, sister, and my mom. Ugh!

TP being unemployed. I am so tired of being broke.

Spunky414 · March 2013

TP to the universe, the morning of my grandpas funeral my mom and I had to rush our cat to the vet and we had to put her to sleep, to add insult to injury it was a genetic heart problem so 50% chance our other cat has it too.

A giant TP to the employers who interview for positions that they don't have solid funding for, if I hear "we'd love to hire you but the grant didn't come through" I'm going to literally TP someone

TP to the tour office in the Vatican that we've been trying to get tickets from for our honeymoon being generally difficult

I'll add to the general hate on 50 Shades, if I have another old lady asking for book recommedations telling me how much she just loved it I may vomit.

joheryl · March 2013

TP to FI who was in charge of getting the address for one envelope and wrote it wrong and it was sent back to us. TP to FI for not checking with his benefits 3 months ago to see if pre-marital counselling was covered, this is after we have paid for a session.

TP to work for being so unenjoyable and boring.

TP to my messy house that I have no time to clean.

redjellybean128 · March 2013

Just jumping with my thoughts on 50 shades as well. I started it because everyone kept saying how "amazing" it was. Yeah, its still sitting half unread on my kindle. Biggest waste of $10 ever.

Posted by redjellybean128[/QUOTE]

To defend 50, I had a hard time getting into the first one because it is so shocking. I decided to push through it and I'm glad I did. The second and third ones are much better because I wasn't into all of the BDSM stuff. The writer brings more and more of the love story into it and makes the majority of it "vanilla," which I appreciated.

I will agree, though, it freaks me out when I see old women reading it in public. I definitely only read it in the privacy of my own home, haha.

adawn1981 · March 2013

I liked 50 Shades... The story did calm down for sure after the first one. I read those books faster than I have ever ready anything else.. LOL I was annoyed though at the writer for repeating the same phrases over and over and over again.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. I hope your other one is okay though.

orangehills · March 2013

I would just like to tell you all, I am reading 50 shades as we speak. Hehehe!! I have them all on pdf, lots of other books too, and am reading them right now when it's slow at work. I think they are just as ok as Twilight. I skip over most of the sex scenes because those get old fast. The writing is truly terrible, as is Twilight. But decent enough to get me through a boring work day!

</div><div>P.S. Apparently my TP worked, I got 5 RSVP envelopes in the mail. All were No's except for one, which was from one of my former BMs and her husband and baby son :-)</div><div>

Mine must have worked too, because I got 3 RSVPs back. Two were no's, but they were expected. The other was for a couple and only one of them can make it.

LuckyGirl1713 · March 2013

TP to one of the teachers for winning team player of the year at work. We work together everyday and she is possibly one of the most difficult selfish and rude people I have had the joy of working with these past 8 years. I cannot believe she won. Well actually I can believe it because she walked around last week with the ballots handing them to people and saying "vote for me and I will buy you coffee." we have so many wonderful teachers at my school that deserved the award over her!

ChiGirl2013 · March 2013

A big TP to my self-centered pathetic excuse for a father. Who tells their daughter he's not going to her wedding but "I'll just cut you a check and we'll call it good." No, you f'ing moron - we WON'T call it good. You can't just toss money around and think it makes up for the P.O.S. that you really are.

A TP to the guy who interviewed me for the PERFECT job that would have put us back on track with our budget for forgetting to call me back, resulting in someone else getting the job. And let me punch him a second time for apologizing and saying he wished he had called me back because I was a better fit than the person he ended up hiring. Yeah. That really helps me out now.

TP to the rude people who can't find time over the course of 5 weeks to send back the friggin RSVP card. I better have a STUFFED mailbox tomorrow (the deadline) or an awful lot of people are going to get some not so happy phone calls first thing Saturday morning.

TP to Wedding Linens Direct for refusing to take back the linens I ordered. I ordered Tiffany blue, they sent me sage green with a label that says Tiffany blue and even after sending pics, they refuse to exchange them.

A big TP to the landlord's brother (who lives upstairs from us) for taking down the homemade bird feeder that dd worked so hard on at school. It was haning in a tree away from the building - why couldn't you just leave it alone, ya Scrooge?

[Deleted User] · March 2013

Ha I didn't mean to start all the 50 shades hatred! I actually haven't even read it. It's just that BDSM erotica is huge now and, as a copywriter, I need to read a lot of it and then think of creative, new ways to sell "sexy," "steamy," and "seductive," which gets tiring. I'm not meaning to bash it otherwise! But after three novellas and a novel in the same sort of genre in a week and I get annoyed :P

BTW, for all you Twilight readers, I haven't read Twilight either, but I love Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, which is another YA vampire series. So any twilight fan who's looking for something new should check it out. I went through them all really quickly and am now anxiously awaiting the release of all of her new books (I believe it's called the golden lily series...I know the Golden Lily is the first book).
