B&M Monday

It's Monday. 'Nuff said.

BanannaP · October 2009

I was sick all weekend. Thankfully, I think it was a 24 hour bug and not the flu. I feel a little better today, but still not great. It sucks.

shortgirltx · October 2009

I should have taken today off rather than Friday. I did not sleep well at all last night.Also I locked all my drawers last week before I left because we were going to have some unknown people in our office and I left the key at home. My breakfast is locked up! Guess I get to go home during lunch.I forgot to thaw something for dinner tonight.

tnickel06 · October 2009

I didn't go to sleep until 3 am last night. I am so tired...

BanannaP · October 2009

I brought donuts to work to thank a coworked who helped me out so much when my car was in the shop a couple weeks ago. And now I want one really badly.

appletango85 · October 2009

I have to call the florist today bc I haven't gotten a return email from him.And I have to go home for lunch bc I forgot to bring shoes for our thriller pic tonight. Hmph. But the pic will be in the star telegram at some point

I'm back at work after a wonderful week off. I wish I had this week off, too. Also, next week. And the week after... I woke up at 3:30 this morning and only napped on and off till I got up. My brain just wouldn't shut down. Between the weird half-asleep dreams, I was obsessing about the engagement pictures we're taking tomorrow and going back to work after such a nice vacation and getting my dog to the vet today and a million other things. Now I'm exhausted. Whine.

appletango85 · October 2009

I find it extremely childish and quite sad that David's grandparents aren't going to stay for the reception because certain people will be in attendance as well. WTF?! Grow up and act like adults people! If that were my grandparents, I would be heartbroken.

juliebug1997 · October 2009

It is Monday. However, it's a beautiful day and things have now returned to normal.

maykious · October 2009

That's crazy, apple. The bright side is that now you know they won't be there trying to bring everyone around them down. They'll leave you and the rest of your guests to have a good time. Too bad for them. Another B&M I have is that I'm getting really tired of flakiness. I'm starting to get concerned that no one we invite will actually show up to our wedding. I invited almost 30 people to tailgate with us this weekend and only about 4 showed up. Only one had an actual excuse.

almoyo · October 2009

There is no comparison between a tailgate party and a wedding as far as attendance percentages go.

fallbride1109 · October 2009

I had a headache all weekend and it has carried over to today. I almost OD'd on Aleve. Also I have GOT to start going to bed at a reasonable hour. I only have 3 weeks to work on these dark circles.

appletango85 · October 2009

Yeah I agree. It just sucks for David

I sure as heck don't want to tell him heh. There are a couple others doing that and both me and FSMIL are thinking why even come then? You are going to drive 2 1/2 hours for 15 minutes? Not even stay for an hour? Whatever. More friends that I can invite!

danielle0789 · October 2009

I wish it would rain. I'm working way more hours then I normally would this week,and I'm happy about it, but I'm just so tired. I'm so ready for halloween so we can spend some time with friends we havent seen since July. Thats my B&M. Nothing too bad lol.

maykious · October 2009

Thanks, almoyo. I'm aware of that, just b&m-ing. I should have also mentioned that this is not the first function I've invited a significant amount of people to, offering free food and booze and only a few showed up. Luckily, it's the same people every time and I know I can always count on them. I'm just tired of the bullsh!t excuses ("My mom's allergies are bothering her"--so you have to stay home with her? You're 22.). If you don't want to come, just say so.

Tiffany618 · October 2009

May - I have the same problem with some of my friends. I would like to think that they will come to the wedding, but my mind tells me otherwise. Because of that, there are a small handful of guests (if they RSVP) that will be counted as 1/2 a person (for the 50% chance that they might show up).

SCbrideinTX · October 2009

While I was gone for the wedding I got signed up to work two different events at homecoming this past weekend... and I got assigned to helping man our tent for two hours. So most of my Saturday was spent working and Sunday was spent trying to catch up on house work, so now it feels like I didn't have a weekend at all. I'm really tempted to ask my boss for a three day weekend, even though I just took a week off.

Jay&Marissa · October 2009

1. My mom backed into Jay's car and now I'm going to be schlepping him around all week (or more) until we get it fixed. 2. OU/TX weekend, enough said 3. Bridesmaid backed out of wedding. She has a prefectly legit excuse (going to study in Europe next semester and wont be back on time) and I am not mad at all, but it sucks that my oldest friend wont be in my wedding. On the other hand, she's been flaky lately. 4. I wish I could figure out what FMIL means by "affordable?" She has no concept whatsoever about what weddings cost and does not know all of the cost saving stuff I have done, so it sucks. I guess she'll find out when her daughters get married, muahahaha.

shananagins · October 2009

I was planning to get D an LCD monitor for the computer in the office for his birthday. He bought one on Woot yesterday, so now I'm stuck. I hate coming up with gift ideas for him, and he doesn't drop ANY hints for me! I always mention things I'd like to have as gift giving holidays approach and he's really good at catching them. I am worried though, that I"ve been whining about our crappy dishwasher so much that I may get a new dishwasher for our first Christmas as a married couple. It would be nice to have, but not a precedent I want to set for appropriate gifts :-)

untsing · October 2009

I'm exhausted. And after 10 months of theatre, I'm ready for a break. And I've gained weight. I'm not happy today.

shortgirltx · October 2009

Marissa- My dad is the same way! Although we are paying for the wedding, he cringes at everything. Beer and Wine? "Gah. Do BYOB." "You mean you have to pay for your ceremony site? Gah!" "You're feeding people? Gah!" We live in two different worlds and the prices are VERY different plus a lot of things where he's at are somewhat free. I've been lying to him about our budget (not that it's his business in the first place) but he would be in the hospital from a heart attack if he found out! Like you, we've done hours of endless research for everything, compared prices, etc. but they still just don't get it.

Terriniski · October 2009

Marissa re: "affordable" - I plan to get some revenge when my sisters get married. My mom doesn't know how much the wedding ended up costing me, and so I'm hoping it'll be a rude awakening when my first sister gets married and tries to do just as nice of a job for less. However, I will scream if either even suggests altering my dress to fit my sis.

Terriniski · October 2009

I suppose I should clarify that I don't mean that mom and sis can't do a wedding for less (so many brides do so well budgeting), it's just that nothing costs what mom thinks it should cost.

Jay&Marissa · October 2009

I guess we're all in this same "affordable" boat! Alana--get your dress professionally sealed, then they cant touch it! FILs graciously offered to pay for half the wedding, and it's not like they are being cheap--I just keep getting mixed signals. Like "our family will want an affordable hotel to stay at" So we found a great deal at the Fairfield Inn right next to DFW complete with a shuttle that will take them to the church! But instead she decided to go with Summerfield Suites in Irving--nowhere close to anything. It's just the hotel they've always stayed at, and it isn't cheap at all?? Or "we want to make the rehearsal dinner a little cheaper" So we suggested doing something really informal with pizza (I've been to one like this and it was a blast) and they want to go with the Gaylord or a steakhouse?? We're trying to save them money and I honestly know she isn't trying to be difficult, she is just clueless.

Jay&Marissa · October 2009

Or one more--I told her about how I am selling my wedding dress since it was $900 and more than I wanted my parents to pay. She thought it was sad that our daughters wont be able to try it on. Umm...I'd rather have my dream dress and sell it than get a cheaper one off the rack just so my "possible" daughters could try it on someday...

Jay&Marissa · October 2009

Clarification--selling it after I wear it to recoup some of the costs

smileysara2008 · October 2009

I went to the doctor this morning, and my blood pressure is really high. She's worried it might be my BC, and I'm super scared that something really bad might happen. It really stinks because I've been working out everyday and eating really well, and then something like this can still come up. :(BUT, on the REALLY positive side, I found my dress this weekend!

maykious · October 2009

Sara, I wouldn't be concerned about it unless it's frequently that high. There was a little while (I think about two months) when my BP was pretty high for what seemed like no apparent reason, but every time I've had my BP taken since then, it's been fine. My doctor just told me to pay attention to it. And congrats on finding your dress! That's a huge check!

juliebug1997 · October 2009

Sara, I had a high end of normal BP before going on BC. After four years on it, I was high on BP every time I went in, got migraines even worse than I used to have them and ended up on two/three different medications to control those two things. I no longer take BC but I still have those two problems.

emimayor · October 2009

I'm tired of working out. And I want to overdose on carbs and queso...

Jay&Marissa · October 2009

Oh yeah, and remember that pearl necklace post--I bought pearl necklaces for my bridesmaids and wish I had gotten one for myself?Guess who has one now, courtesy of dropped out bridesmaid

I don't care if it's selfish
