[QUOTE]My vent is that I feel awful. I'm not really dizzy anymore and sometimes when I stand up my vision gets blurry like I got up too fast. Not as much as before. This morning I took my vitamins and antibiotics I'm on and had an apple for breakfast. Well I puked on the way to school and still feel awful. Missed my first class but need to go in for the next 2. Ugh ready for the weekend.

It's officially March and only 1 of 4 bridesmaids have even ordered their dress. We are all grown adults and they know deadlines, so I'm not reminding anyone. No dress, just be a guest. Simple. End of vent.
I want the wedding here so badly so I can marry my best friend, get out of house and start really being treated like an adult.
LLP, I can relate with the BM dresses. I know I've been super lax and calm about it all because they've been coming in fast but I'd really appreciate it if the last 2 would order theirs soon.

Next week I officially start part time. I'm really excited but petrified at the same time.
June 2012 August Siggy Challenge: Favourite Pro Pic (I couldn't choose just one!)
I'm also really getting annoyed with FI for not booking the honeymoon. We want to go to Jamaica, and I'd like to stay in Montego Bay (to avoid a long ride to the resort) at an all inclusive (preferably adults only). Just pick something and book it because we both need passports. Ugh.
[QUOTE]I know Chelsea I'm so excited. <strong>When we get married it will be about a 2 year engagement.</strong> I'm so ready to be married! I'm even excited for the little things like signing things with my new last name and whatnot lol. If I'm not better by tomorrow I'm gonna call the doctor. I've thrown up before when I took my medicine on an empty stomach so I'm hoping that's all it was today :/
Posted by Zimsgirl[/QUOTE]
i don't think I could handle a two year engagement! 7 1/2 months is long enough for me! FI wouldn't mind longer, but he's already wore out by all my wedding talk!
First vent: FI is sooo resistant to doing any chores. I do laundry for both of us, cook dinner for both of us every night, and on weekends I tidy up the living room, vacuum, swiffer the kitchen/bathroom, and clean the bathroom. I want him to take out the trash (and refill the bag after, which seems impossible), and wash the dishes. In FI's family his mother does EVERYTHING. None of the kids had chores besides cleaning their room, and if they did chores, they got paid for them. I think this is the problem. We had a huge blowout about the dishes last night, FI thinks its only his job to do dishes that both of us or just he used. I told him that this isn't college, we are a household now and I do stuff for both of us so why can't he. The other thing that he does that drives me nuts is he'll do half of them and then leave half for the next day. THEY JUST PILE UP WHEN THIS HAPPENS! Finish the freaking job!!
Second Vent: I have two MOHs, who were both ecstatic to be MOHs; one is my sister, and one is my best friend. I know MOHs & bridesmaids are in no way obligated to help in the planning, but both of them were really excited to do it together. Well now they're all working on planning the shower/bachelorette, my sister tells me that the other MOH basically never adds anything to their group discussions, except for when they talk about money, in which case this MOH pipes up that we shouldn't do this or that because it will cost too much. SHE JUST BOUGHT HERSELF AN IPHONE when her other phone was perfectly fine. If it were any other friend I wouldn't care, her finances are her business, but I know that when she gets married she will be expecting everyone to go over the moon to give her the shower/bachelorette she wants. She acted this way for both her 16th and 21st so I doubt her wedding will be any different. And it doesn't bother me, I know being a bridesmaid is an expense, so I plan to save for her wedding when the time comes. Its just frustrating because when she talks to me she acts like shes an active part of the planning, but my sister will showwww me the thread that all the bridesmaids discuss things on, and she doesn't say anything!
Third Vent: My invitations. Why can't they just come together? I thought it was all going fine and then the printing people we're using tell me they can't print on pre-cut card-stock (good thing I hadn't ordered it yet). They originally didn't seem to have a problem with it, unless the guy is just an idiot and didn't realize that invitations wouldn't be 8.5 x 11 pieces of paper! Now I'm waiting for my invitation pdf person to tell me if she can fit multiple inserts on one page, so we can still do this how we want. All I'm trying to do is save some money! Is it that hard to spend less than $1k on invites?!?!?
Total cost of work almost $600 but thankfully after calling around for a better quote I found someone who can do it for less! I was almost in tears ..could this really have happened at a worse time!! Then I started thinking about all of the good things going on WR and NWR and i was like screw it I'm not letting this get to me!

I would've wanted shorter but he was deployed the first year of it. We originally were looking at getting married in 2014 after school! But when we found out he was deploying we knew we'd have a budget for the wedding. We always planned on paying for it ourselves and parents didn't offer. My mom told me she's gonna help us out eventually it just may be after the wedding. I totally understand and don't think she has to but leaving it up to her

I found out yesterday I have to go on a business trip to Texas next Monday thru Wednesday. I hate our San Antonio trips. On top of that FI is OOT this week for work and gets in late Saturday so we only have a day and half together people I have to leave.

My vent is that I found out a couple of days ago that my main contact at the wedding venue (their event coordinator) has left. They haven't hired a replacement yet so I will be dealing with the general manager for the time being. This is really stressing me out! I'm glad the wedding is a few months away so they can get this all figured out. It is a private golf club so I have faith that they will hire a great event coordinator. Trying to keep a positive outlook but freaking out a little at the same time!

I think they can, but the bridesmaids haven't even decided on what dresses they want! I gave them the choice of their own dress within certain parameters (length, fabric, color). All they had to do was let me know <em>before</em> they order so I can make sure each BM has a different dress. My friend actually called me today to say her dress came in today.
It's funny; the only person who has their dress is not related to me ;) The other 3 consist of my sister and 2 cousins.
Instead of hiring an analyst that can already do the analysis, they are going to hire someone new into the tech position and then promote the current tech. Training for the tech job is like a week, maybe two. Training to do the analysis is at least a month before you can analyze on your somewhat independently, then another couple months before you can actually analyze at a fairly productive rate.
Two other analysts will be on vacation next week, which was fine when we were fully staffed.
Then this morning, another analyst got into a pretty bad car accident this morning (T&P to her for sure). Her car is totaled, broke her right foot and something is wrong with her hip but she doesn't know what yet. She lives alone so she thinks she will probably be out of work for a little while because she will not be able to drive.
It was a very heavy workload for seven analysts to manage, next week we'll be down to three. And I feel like my boss is in la-la land about it all ... ohh no worries, no big deal ,we'll get the work done, there isn't that much to do...
They contact my FI about the drama. And he tells me to see what I want them to do. He knows to contact my mom since she does the phone confrence that my sister can not make.
CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG.

Wow that's not fun. Luckily my 3 sisters are my bridesmaids and we all went together and my mom bought them. She still has to pay the balance and I feel bad because she needs to get dental work done and the insurance won't cover it 100%

The storm isn't bad enough near my school for things to be shut down, but I'm 60 miles away and can't even make it to the roads that ARE safe to drive. I busted my BUTT for a presentation today, and to finish the readings on time, and now I can't even make it in. I'm freaking out because I have no idea what the prof's response is going to be; this 5 minute presentation is worth 15% of my grade. I'm trying to rationalize that having a base grade of 85 in a class is far better than ending up in a ditch today, but I know if she says this is my only chance I'm going to end up crying it out. Aside from my research classes, this is the first class I've taken so far that has direct application to my interests in theory and I'm afraid it's going to look awful when I go to apply for doctoral programs
UGH!

I wish. You can only go to the Alamo so many times. I also get tired of the River Walk.

Megan, are you starting part-time at a new job or just dropping to PT at your current one?

Haha I understand that. FI was at Ft. Sam Houston last year and I went down for 2 weeks while he was in the hospital. His dad and sister only stayed a couple days because they couldn't miss work and school. FMIL was too scared (and too slow) when she drove in the city so we were mostly on base
