Good Morning! Well, not so good for NC.

Snippylynn · May 2012

Um... I haven't been to Disney either. I don't have a ton of desire to either because of all the kids. Yes. The reason I don't want to go to Disney is because of random children. I know, I'm the devil.

Hey Baylicious! Guess what?! H and I just decided to take our summer vacation in..............

BOSTON.

For serious. Well, it won't be entirely in Boston. He will be there for 4 days for a conference (where I will be on vacation. At the Westin. BUAHAHAHAHA) and we're taking advantage of the free airfare. The other week we'll probably do a drive around on the East Coast.

BOSTON GTG V2.0!!

[QUOTE]So this week has been crazy busy but I'm kinda looking for advice that isn't really worth it's own thread so here I am! I'll try to be concise. I've done almost 100% of the wedding planning - FI hasn't really cared to be involved which is fine, really. He's had like ... 3 or 4 things that I asked him to do and he did them, or so I thought. Our plan for the wedding night (Saturday, btw) has been to go stay in a local hotel just for Saturday & Sunday then come back to real life since we can't really afford a honeymoon right now. FI had assured me that he had talked to his dad (who is staying with us) and he was happy to house and dog sit for those 2 nights. Last night I found out that's not true and his dad is leaving right after the wedding Saturday. I don't know if FI flaked or his dad did but I'm just so, so disappointed. Now we not only don't have a dogsitter but someone has to drive his sister to the airport Sunday morning. So our "mini-moon" is pretty much scrapped. I know that if I tell my close friends or family about this that one of them will step up and offer to do both of these things but I really don't want to do that - it's not fair to them and they've already done a lot to help. I'd rather scrap the planned hotel stay than dip further into savings to hire a sitter. WWYD?
Posted by ceh789[/QUOTE]

Could you swing a professional dog sitter for those two days? If not, I think you should ask a couple of friends if they would be willing to do it. As long as you make it clear that they can say no if it would be a burden, I don't think you are asking too much of anyone. It would just suck if you had to scrap your plans because it sounds like you were really looking forward to this. And you deserve at least a "mini-moon".

Snippylynn · May 2012

Dude, are you kidding CEH? Ask around for someone to watch the dog and help you out. There is not a single soul who will tell you no so you can have a couple of days after your wedding. I'd do it and I don't even know you.

I didn't know that. That's neat!

Bleh, I just unfriended someone on fb over their NC post. He was already questionable due to some of his other posts. Good riddance.

MattsPenguin · May 2012

Snips, when is your vacay? That is so exciting! Will you be house hunting, too? I know you said that you want to move here.

midgetthemighty · May 2012

CEH - You totally need to ask around. People will step up. Don't feel bad about it!

I have all kinds of things going on today. My BFF's son (my "nephew" ) fell out of his bed this morning and has a concussion. Plus, today was her Mom's birthday, who passed away from cancer a few years ago. I'm going over there tonight for sure.

RupertPenny · May 2012

So are they changing the 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea area into The Little Mermaid? I miss 10,000 Leagues Into the Sea. I don't like when Disney changes stuff.

calixtine · May 2012

Midge- poor little guy

. Other than the concussion, I hope your nephew is OK.
And when is your wedding date? I think we might be date or almost date twins

I agree. When they closed that ride forever ago, I was so bummed. I miss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride too. The kept the track pretty intact for Winnie the Pooh so when I ride it I imagine I'm on Mr. Toad's still. <div>

Hi Penguin!

It will be August 5th-August 20th. No house hunting! I'd love to, but I've just now really gained traction and tangible evidence of what I am accomplishing in my job, so I need to wait it out until I can get in good with people and find the right job.

Cfas, I will definitely let you know if we make it to DC! I think that's the actually the route we will take. H is just now saying we can do all the Civil War battle fields that I wanted to do when I was younger! EE! I am such a geek. So we'll probably do Gettysburg, DC and some other places.

That is such a long stretch, Snip! We will definitely be able to meet up!

MattsPenguin · May 2012

Exciting trip anyway! I like how geeked out you are over the batltefields. I'm sure they're a sight to see.

ETA: It reminds me of when Bay was so excited to see that carving of the pilgrims taking the food from the native Americans on the Common. What was wrong with it Bay? I don't remember, but you were so funny trying to take a picture to show your prof.

Snippylynn · May 2012

Heh. That's a short summer vacation for most Swedes. Seriously.

The whole week before the 20th, I will definitely be IN Boston while H is in his conference, I get to play! WEE!! We should plan lot's of fun stuff.

baystateapple · May 2012

I totally forgot about that until you mentioned it, MP. It was the attire and the attitude of the Native Americans. We were studying colonialism and the way it's portrayed in art (the benevolent white people, the subservient natives, etc.) and that was a prime example. I completely forgot to show it to him, too.

Snippylynn · May 2012

YES!!! hahaha... that was AWFUL. There was something else about it too, but I can't remember. I need to look at my pictures now.

RupertPenny · May 2012

What beach are you going to Rach? The panhandle by any chance?

Your SIL is being annoying but I will forgive her if you guys are going to Destin or somewhere else close to me.

adamar15 · May 2012

Rachers, could you guys go for a long weekend instead of the whole week?

ETA: I don't know why I typed Rachers instead of Rach. I can't remember the last time I've called you your full "name."

Ceh, can you afford doggie day care for those few days? There are tons of great places in the area.

My work doesn't even allow you to take unpaid vacation days. You have to be dying or something for that to happen.

Posted by adamar15[/QUOTE]

Same here, the only reason i'm able to go on a short HM and miss a few days is because i've worked my butt off to get comp time, so it's either they have to pay me for about 30 hours i've worked over time or let me go...they are letting me go on the trip that is.

angelstar975 · May 2012

In Response to Re:Good Morning! Well, not so good for NC.:[QUOTE]Snip that will be fun. When we lived in Virginia we used to go visit all the battlefields. So H's family has planned a beach vacation at the end of July. Great, right? Well, it will be if H and I both can take off work. Which is possible, but it will take the rest of H's vacation days since y'know, we took a weeklong HM and all, and possible unpaid vacation time for me. That's even IF I were allowed off. SIL just doesn't really get it that I can't just waltz in and say "Hey I'm leaving for a week!" like she apparently can.I'm annoyed. Posted by rachers1017[/QUOTE]

It's SO frustrating when people don't enderstand that. I don't get vacation time and when I take off, it's unpaid, and it also means the parent has to take vacation time too since I won't be there. FI never understand this. He's always like, "Just give them plenty of notice." It doesn't really work that way, dude.

Good Morning! Well, not so good for NC.
