September 2012 Weddings

Confession Thursday

Good morning ladies!

My confession today is, I actually hyperventilated a little bit yesterday when I realized I only have 4 MONTHS TO GO!!!!!! I sooooo not ready! I feel like I am going to blink and this wedding is going to be here. I'm not going to have everything done, and I'll have a half-asssed wedding!!!!!! I can't take it! I drove FI crazy with this yesterday lol.

Now you go...

Re: Confession Thursday

  • I think FI has really been pushing me to start "caring" about the wedding.  It's not that I don't care but I am just a procrastinator when it comes to getting things done.  I work well under pressure, however with all of the little things I really need to start moving my butt and get in gear!  The biggest thing to tackle is printing the invitations we got the finals for that, monograms and table numbers so now it's assembly time :)

    My real confession is that this weather sucks and is completely unmotivating.
  • I think I am a bit over my head with all this DIY stuff...I hope to have all my kissing balls done before the end of my but I still need to figure out my candy buffet, cake pops and finish my kissing balls ugh!  8 big ones to go and 3 small ones!
  • I confess my brain is mush right now. There are a million WR things to do and I'm skipping around on TK not doing much. =P I also keep scoping the Classifieds but I'm not in the market (nor do I have money) for anything. Why? lol!

    I also confess that FI is worrying me a little. He hates his job. I mean, he really dreads every working day. So it's totally understandable that he would look for something else, but it feels like he's going down the ladder rather than up. I really want him to be happy and if being a barista for awhile makes him happy, then good, but I'm just worried about the finances. He says it'll be fine, but he always thinks it'll be fine. =/ I think I'm just worrying too much, but with all the payments coming up, the rest of the HM, and possibly having to move in September (I KNOW!)... I'm just having a minor freak out.

    i confess that i feel terrible that i still can't get over this whole strip club/lap dance thing. FI went to a bachelor party for a friend last weekend and got a lap dance from a stripper, and i am still really upset even though he's apologized a ton. i know he feels genuinely sorry but for some reason i still can't give it up. i'm trying my best to get over it, but i still think about it. i don't know why it's bothering me so much. half of his friends that were there with him are married and their wives don't seem to care. i feel bad that its bothering me so much, and i know FI is sick of me complaining about it. i used to think i didn't care which is why i didn't mind him going in the first place.
    Happily married since 9/1/2012!

    I'm freaking the heck out about my hair accessories and jewelry. I've prided myself on being super laid back and relaxed about the wedding so when I start stressing something I get embarrassed.

    I was a jewelry manager for an artsy, new agey store all through college though so I'm a jewelry fanatic. And a bit of a snob. But a frugal snob, so it's rather complicated.

    A woman after my own heart! That's it, its been decided... next time I'm up that way visiting FSIL and my nieces you and I are going out for Matcha Green Tea Lattes!
  • FI made the decision a few years ago to cut ties with his mother. It's a long story, but I honestly believe he made the right choice. Last week he told me that he's been thinking about her lately and has contemplated meeting her for lunch or dinner to just talk about things. That's fine with me, EXCEPT that he wants to do it before the wedding so that in the event that they reconcile, he can invite her to the wedding.

    My feeling is that he has waaaay too much on his plate between now and the wedding to be worrying about this right now. And in the event that the reconciliation does NOT go well, it will only add that much more stress to everything. I think he should wait a little while until things have settled down, and then he can reevaluate the situation.

    And well, I guess this is the confession part - I don't want him to reconcile with her. She's crazy and manipulative, and what she did was unforgivable and inexcusable. I really believe that he's better off without her in his life.

  • I've gotten so little done at work this week.  

    I haven't gone to the gym in... a long time.

    Those are my big confessions.  Neither has really caught up with me, yet, but not going to the gym isn't doing me any favors either.  

    Oh yeah, and our house is a wreck!  It's not usually too tidy to begin with, but everything for the wedding, plus being away last weekend has meant major slacking on cleaning.  We're gone this weekend, and I'm gone the weekend after, so I'm thinking it will get worse before it gets better. 

    PS I tried to type (not in pig-latin) 'ic-spay and span' and TK made me change the first word.  Ha.
  • I got a couple of confessions this week.

    I confess that I have been lying to my little sister about how her being in the hospital hasn't effected me. Its effected me in a bad way that I haven't slept more than 2 hours a night since she been in there. Haven't been eating regularly and no motivation to work out.

    I confess that this whole situation with my FI and my FFIL has drove me to really work on my driving so I can get my license so I can actually stay as far as that apartment as possible when FI and FFIL get into it at work. Putting headphones in and tuning it out isn't helping anymore.

    Confessing that I have a seriously long to-do list that I haven't thought twice about it all week. I try to get working on it and my motivation level is beyond zapped. Hoping spending some time with my dad tonight and tomorrow night at a concert recharges my batteries to want to get back on track.

    Last confession, I am right now trying HARD not to be resentful towards my FI but he is driving me crazy with not helping out around the house while I am putting in 40 plus hours a week into the family business and doesn't care I still have 40 hour a week job. Makes me sick to the core with anger. I come home so tired and worn out from my regular 9-5 and stay up sometimes to midnight or 1am until he gets home to finalized some business and personal stuff that I barely get any sleep at all.

    </div><div>I would HATE this too... You're not the only one and I'm sure there are plenty of other wives/fiancees who feel the same way. To me it doesn't matter if there was intent or not, it just really turns me off and would completely hurt my feelings. I hope you can figure out how to make peace with it!</div><div>
    </div><div>My confession is that I'm starting to hate getting up in the morning because of my job! I am just not where I want to be and I hate playing this waiting game for FI to get an international assignment. Even with wedding planning, it's hard to be happy  where I'm at when every day work feels like torture!

  • I confess I think my FSIL is cutting herself again and I do not know what to do. I think she wants attention because we are getting married. I think she is just trying to get the spotlight back. I should be more concern and I feel like a butt for thinking like this. I tried to talk to her but she just told me to go back to my happy wedding. She loves the fact everyone is running to her now. She even said she is stress about her bills and had my FI pay her bills this month. I think she is taking advantage.....
