Should we attempt a morning thread?

[Deleted User] · July 2012

I barely fit into my dress at the TTD, and then H broke the back clasp when zipping it up (not his fault, it was already loose). Luckily my hair hid that top part. We had a lot of fun though. What I liked was that we didn't feel rushed to get the pictures over with like we did at the wedding, and it was just us and the photographer so I didn't feel weird with everyone watching.

[QUOTE]Ooh, a TTD. I really need to get my dress cleaned. My H is pretty much against this shoot though, so we'll see. jcb, are you still going on your Seattle trip? Brandi, where are you guys going on a HM?

We are going to <a href="http://www.secretsresorts.com/thevine/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HERE.</a> I can not wait.

jennamarie10 · July 2012

Yeah, seriously Dmills, that is a ton of crappy stuff for Monday. Treat yourself to some fro-yo after work or something!

dmiller9274 · July 2012

Thanks, Les! My boss is taking all of us to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants for lunch, so there's potential for things to look up lol.

ZombieNates · July 2012

When I have days like that, Dmills, I feel like I'm in someone's idea of a bad comedy. That blows.

Sesh, that's what I'm looking forward to. I was so antsy during the wedding pictures because I just wanted to enjoy every single minute and it was going by so fast. I mean, I love my wedding pics, but I'm looking forward to some cooler shots.

AATB, what all do you have to get done for this shower?

Starmusica · July 2012

crap Dmill- that sucks!

My day just got annoying. H had to take the new car to the dealer today to get a scratch buffed out that the car arrived with when it was delivered to the lot. Apparently it's so deep they need to have it sent out. Seriously... about to lose it.

dmiller9274 · July 2012

jcb, for some reason I get stung by bees all the freaking time. Probably at least 10-15 times a year, so I don't know if I'm just used to it, or my body is like "fuuuuck you bee" but they swell and itch/sting for about and hour, then it's gone.

nates, when I was stuck in the turnstyle, like a caged animal, I seriously contemplated the possibility that I had done something bad, and my juju was all messed up.

ETA: Mehg, if that had been the case, I would have packed it up and gone home...I work with a bunch of creepy old dudes HA

brandichamberlain · July 2012

Dmills- I hope your day turns around!

mehgank · July 2012

I just got approached by a couple members of our base's fitness team (they help train the students here on physical fitness, as well as coordinate events for the permanent party staff), and they asked me to join them for their running club. They said that last week when I introduced myself on-stage, they all got the feeling that I'm a runner, and since they need a female for their club, they decided to ask me. So, now they've roped me in to run a 200mi relay at the end of September haha. I think I'll be doing three 5mi legs of the trip or something like that. Fun stuff.

jennamarie10 · July 2012

Brandi, that place looks effing awesome. I can't wait for another all inclusive beach trip, but unfortunately, its' looking like sometime in 2015 when we do that! oh well.

Star, WTF. that takes the wind out of the new car sails, huh? Hope they can fix it quickly!

AllAboutTheBenjamin · July 2012

Oh, let me consult my list.

I have to purchase clear glass beads, black ribbon, and find a black or white (IT MUST BE BLACK OR WHITE BECAUSE IT MUST ZOMG MATCH) wine bottle bag. The bottle of wine is a
"prize" at the shower and the beads are for the mason jar centerpieces. Which are also "prizes." I really hope I don't win one, who the fluck wants a damn shower centerpiece?

I also have to order some "cheap white flowers" for these centerpieces and get my bff a "cheap" white corsage for the day.

And I have to bake muffins and bring fruit to this thing. Which I don't mind, that's the only part I'm really excited about, because I like baking and I have a fun tray I can bring to serve the muffins and stuff.

This chick - don't get me wrong, I love her, we are great friends, but she's really kind of overbearing and bossy about all this stuff. And she's MOHzilla with a type-A planning personality. It is not a good combination.

What kind of irks me is that everything she's picked out for my bff's shower are in her wedding colors (not my bff's wedding colors... the MOH's former wedding colors). This wouldn't ordinarily bother me, except everything she's been doing lately has been bothering me, lol. My bff's wedding is royal blue and orange, and the MOH's wedding was black and turquoise. So all this stuff is black and turquoise.

Also, I had to purchase my big gift for my bff that I originally wanted to give her for her wedding, for her shower, because one night when MOH was rambling stuff to me on the phone and I wasn't really listening I apparently agreed that we'd go in on some wedding gift for my bff together, so we could "save money." And she wants to share a hotel room with Ben and I at the wedding, which, I will not be allowing, because I don't want to share a hotel room with MOH, Mr. MOH, and what will be 3-week old MOH baby. I'm going to have Ben book the room this week and be like "OH hubby already booked the room! SORRIES"

brandichamberlain · July 2012

Mehg- that is great that you're getting involved. I just can't do long distance running like that.

Jenna- I can't wait. We booked back in March and since it doesn't open for a few more weeks we got our week for a steal (prob 1/3 of the regular price). We also got one whole ticket free with our CC points so we were under budget for the HM.

Starmusica · July 2012

Jenna- RIGHT. I literally slammed my desk and said ffs! This is insane. There is a whole other issue btw with a feature they said was on teh car that wasn't that we should have caught but they warranted was there... and zomg this day just got annoying. I just want my pretty car back now thank you.

AATB- wait so this MOH is doing this bride's shower in the MOH's colors? That's a bit... selfish.

jennamarie10 · July 2012

is she using black and turqouise so she can use her leftover stuff from her own wedding? Also, I'm with you on not really wanting a mason jar centerpiece from a shower. What are you going to do with it afterwards?

Some showers are so over the top, IMO. But I grew up with little hometown showers at a church or aunt's house-no fancy centerpieces, etc.

ZombieNates · July 2012

Well, okay then. That is some annoying assshit. Why the eff would you want to sleep in a room with another couple/baby? The wedding color thing is just weird.

Oh no no, star. She's using "blue." And blue is one of the wedding colors.

She actually said that. Perhaps turquoise is a type of blue, but yeah, uh, no.

Well I guess you better start listening the next time she talks ;)

She sounds like a peach and that sound like quite the list. What exactly is SHE doing?
And I agree sharing a hotel room with 2 other people and a baby, yeah, NO! Can you imagine trying to get ready in a bathroom?

TO SAVE MONEY!!! :)

Ffs. As if booking a "big suite" will be saving money. And sharing a room with a baby will also mean saving some time from shut-eye, too apparently lol.

Okay. I need to calmthefuckdown.

jennamarie10 · July 2012

I'm pretty sure if I ever get pregnant, I will say no to a baby shower. I've enjoyed hosting them for my friends but I just don't want my own. If people are so inclined to want to give me a gift for my baby, they can bring me a gift when baby is born.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · July 2012

Well she has done a lot, KD. I don't know what exactly to the letter, but she's taken the reigns on planning for the shower, she did the invitations, etc. And she's doled out tasks, which I did tell her I was okay with. One thing that kind of bothered me was a couple weeks ago she was in town and she wanted me to meet her to help pick out some things for the shower. So I met up with her at a party planning place. She'd already picked everything out, which, fine, whatever, and then she was like "Oh and will you pay for this? I've already spent a bunch of money, and we are all going to share the cost anyway. Plus I can't use my credit card right now since we are refinancing our house." ALL OF WHICH I actually understand and somewhat agree with, and we (the bridesmaids) have saved receipts and stuff to split the cost evenly anyway. But just because of the nature of how she can be sometimes, it put me off. And that was the same day she gave me the list, lol.

Starmusica · July 2012

AATB-

why the F does she need a corsage??

AllAboutTheBenjamin · July 2012

I hate showers too. Hate. I declined a shower from back-home church ladies, lol. And I honestly couldn't even tell you what decorations were at the shower I did have. I do remember there were cute cupcakes with rings on them, but I never got around to eating one of them.

BUt really, that seems overfuckingwhelming. I'd have given up by now, AATB, so you're a good friend.

Sounds like TOO much to me. But, I'm on the whole less is more at a shower bandwagon. The most we did at my first shower was a nice cake and punch, no decor. It's not needed.

brandichamberlain · July 2012

AATB- I can understand why you're getting a little frustrated. Hopefully it will all go smoothly this weekend.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · July 2012

I don't feel like a good friend Nates. I have absolutely dreaded this damn shower and I feel terrible about it. I just have enough going on with work and life so all this extra garbage feels like a major inconvenience to me... which makes me feel shitty, because my sisters and friends were amazing to me while I was planning our wedding. And MOH is one of my closest friends. I love her to death. Lol, we even tease her for how psycho of a planner and stuff she is, and I told her I'd love to help any way I can and to just tell me how. So she tells me how, and then I can't even handle it.

I was PMSing a couple weeks ago when I was writing out bills and then she called with some questions/ideas for the shower, and when I hung up the phone I was so annoyed I just wanted to set everything on fire. I know it was just the hormones, lol, but my usual reaction to being overwhelmed is just to throw my hands up, say fuckit and then write a bunch of walls o text. You're all welcome.

ZombieNates · July 2012

It sounds like you just have a lot going on in general and are overhwhelmed with all that you have to do. It will be better once you're done with it. And IDK about you, but I really didn't know any of the drama that my girls had going on regarding the wedding--they told me afterwards, lol, but the bride is going to just enjoy her day with you.
