Re: You all know the drill

  • I confess that I hate it when FI gets sick! He was sick the last few days now I think I am coming down w/it...and over a 3 day weekend too! Grrr...but I am still at work.

  • I confess that I'm kind of angry at myself for quitting my job, because now I have no money and am reliant on FI and I HATE that.  I want to be able to splurge on myself now and again and not feel guilty about it.  We already treat things like "our" money, but I can't wait until we're married and it "really" is.

    I also really, really worry that the above makes me sound like an irresponsible, money-grubbing wh-re, which couldn't be further from the truth...I just want to feel like I can make my own decisions again, without using an account with someone else's name on it.

    And in related news, I'm dreading having to make a decision on a photographer this weekend.  I really want to go with the more expensive of our two favorites, because I really do prefer her pictures, but I feel really, really guilty about the expense.

  • It bugs me when posters use text speak, colored text, and all caps. It really hurts my eyes when they use colored text. Also paragraphs are your BFF use them. Like DrP just did. Wink
  • FI is a dilly-dally-er.  I call him that whenever I'm waiting for us to go somewhere.  I am a very punctual person and grew up with a mother that was/is always late for everything.  It's one of the few things about my FI that drives me nuts.

    I bring it up to him all the time.  I wish he understood how much being late bothers me.  It's not like we don't talk about it.  It just never sinks in with him for whatever reason.  

    On the same note, whenever we drive somewhere, I leave it up to him to know where we're going/how to get there.  If I drive, I Google map it and print it out so I know.  He pretty much leaves it to chance and we've gotten lost more than once.  I don't know why he doesn't print out directions.  I guess it's a guy thing.  

    Thankfully, my mom said she's getting me a navigator.  But I know FI will never use it Undecided
  • I have an unpopular opinion (even more so because it's been in the news so much lately).  Last night we had some terrible storms come through.  Very rarely do we get tornadoes in our neck of the woods.  People last night were BSC.  Freaking out, getting in their basements, etc. 

    I guess because there have been so many nonproducing storms it doesn't phase me much anymore.  FI and I just sat on the couch watching tv.  We really weren't worried at all.  I felt like the storms were no more than any other bad storm we have.

    This might come to bite me in the butt one day, but I feel like I know when it is time to get in the basement and when it is safe to sit on the couch.

  • Last one...

    I judge the people I babysit for because their dishes are always greasy.  I end up eating a hot pocket or something for lunch, because I don't trust them to have washed their dishes properly.  I kind of feel like asking exactly what they do with their dish soap, because it clearly gets used up and they buy new bottles, and it's the same kind I use so obviously it's not that the soap doesn't work.  It's disgusting, and makes me want to demand that they bring their baby to my house if they want me to watch her, just so I can eat my own food off my own dishes.

    I just went to get lunch so this came up.  Hot pocket again, oh boy...

    I unfriended someone on facebook because all of her status updates LOoKed lIKe tHIs and it drove me absolutely crazy. I don't know how she found out so quickly but the next day I had a friend request from her. Really?

    I totally agree with what's quoted though, although I do from time to time use colored text. *sorry* <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-innocent.gif" border="0" alt="Innocent" title="Innocent" />

  • this is really random...

    i judge people who use the middle bathroom stall. our bathroom nearest my lab has 3 stalls, and i generally want to be no where near anyone else doing their business. its one thing to use the middle if the two ends are taken, but its so awkward to take the middle when the others are open.

  • FI is wasteful.  When we moved out of our apartment at grad school we filled up a whole garbage bag with clothes we wanted to donate.  FI said he was going to take them somewhere, so when I came with my sister to get my last load of stuff to bring home, I left the bag for him.  Then I find out, he left it in the garage with the stuff belonging to the people moving in in a few weeks (we let them store it there while they're in between apartments).  Those guys are definitely going to throw it out!  The clothes will get musty and gross and it will just be trash.  People could have worn those clothes, they were in greatttt condition!

    FI also has a nice habit of forcing me to interrogate him.  If I ask any mildly open-ended question, he just can not give me any details.  I have to ask very direct questions like I'm in a court of law or something, and it drives me insane!  Or he'll completely fail to tell me something and when I find out about it he'll say, "you didn't ask."  It's always something that there's no way I would even think to ask about it, either.  The other part that goes along with this is his mom will say something to him and when I ask FI any details about it he informs me that he didn't ask any details.  I always get so mad because it just seems like he doesn't care about what happens in his life sometimes because he just refuses to ask for any information about something that's happening to him!  I don't know if he's just less detail-oriented because hes a male, but it drives me insaaaane!

    I don't mean to have a bitchsesh about FI, he's an amazing man, really romantic, and I'm very lucky to have him, but this is our venting day, so I had to get it out.

    I typically go on the furthest away from the door.  Too many times those stalls have the crack between the wall and stall or the stall door so when people walk in the bathroom door they see you peeing on the toilet. Bathroom stalls in general kind of creep me out. haha.

    I'm normally okay with most bathroom stalls, but when FI and I were at the Relay for Life at the park last weekend...wow. The stalls were made of OSB and you could see over them very easily. I'm not tall (barely 5'1") and when I stood up to pull my pants back up, I could see out to everyone waiting. Awkward.

    Oh, and one of the stalls didn't even have a latch and you can pretty much see inside the bathroom/stalls from <em>outside</em> the building.

    Seconded! Most of the time they don't even understand that it's a bad word because their parents probably say it around them 5249075892347597 times a day. Those that do understand (because let's be serious...kids are smart) have been conditioned to not care because of their parents choice in vocabulary.
  • keeping with the bathroom theme- i am kind of afraid of using the dark stall.  by that i mean that i like the stall i choose to have light directly above it- i will always choose the lightest stall, no matter what positioning it has in the line. weird, i know.

    i confess that i feel guilty about potentially changing our wedding from the berkshires (MA) to washington.  it would be so much better financially, but we would probably loose a lot of guest (especially FIs family).  I know that even bringing it up to his parents as a possibility is going to really disappoint them (esp. FMIL).

    i have always struggled with pleasing people (often times in lieu of myself) and have really been working on focusing what will be best for FI and me in the long run, but it's still hard to disappoint people i care about.

    I hate kids who have no respect for their elders. I work at a high school and some of the things I hear/see make me feel so "old." I would never think about doing some of the things they do. I feel like my parents but I always think "when I was a kid, I would never do x, y and z"

    Edit: It also makes me appreciate the way I was raised and the values my parents enstilled in me

    I'm getting pretty irritated with people who think I'm dying for their opinion on gay marriage.  I mean, if you hear that a straight couple is getting married, what do you say?  "Congratulations."   What you DON'T do is tell them what you think about their right to get married, tell them about Jesus, or quibble about the terminology. 
    Don't get me wrong.  Most people I talk to are really happy for us and the majority of my family are rockstars, but there are a few people who just HAVE to share their thoughts.  (Does this mean I get to tell them what I think of THEIR relationships?)

    Can you sit down with them and explain to them why you are thinking about moving the location to washington. Maybe when they realize it will benefit your FI and you in the long run, they will understand. Bottom line, those who want to be there for your wedding day will be there. Even if it is half way across the country. You never know, they could make a vacation out of it. See parts of the country they have never seen.

    yes, i think they would be receptive to this- it will be a phone convo b/c they live in MA and we are in MT, but none the less.  i don't mean that they would be disappointed in US, just kind of sad b/c they have been so excited.  and my FMIL does NOT fly, and they have been talking about a cross country train trip to see us anyways, this would ensure it! 

    thanks for the support!

  • I have an "I judge" because it just happened at the Reds v Phillies game I'm listening to.

    I judge people who run onto the field at baseball games. Is it really worth $3,000 and being kicked out of the ballpark for an undetermined amount of time? I think not.

  • I have a vent that is going to make me probably sound horrible. 

    I really don't like my engagement ring (small 3-stone princess cut with no details).  I feel very guilty for saying it, but it is the truth.  I always wanted a unique ring the resembled more of who I am and something that stood out.  I told him before we were engaged that it will be the ONLY object thing I will have for my entire life everyday, so I would prefer it to be special.

    My FI is very frugal with certain things.  We know each others finances, so I know he has the money.  You know the "rule" about three months salary for the ring.  My friends joke that I got a half a month ring after taxes.

    I feel like I missed out on the exciting times of showing off your ring when you first get engaged.  I would love to get a new one.  I don't know whow to bring it up without hurting him!! I would pay for it myself, but I know that would just hurt him even more.  I feel like I am going to be stuck with a ring I don't like for the rest of my life!

  • Sarah I think it is incredibly rude of your friends to joke like that about your ring. I would be very upset if my so called friends made fun of my E ring. Even if I didn't like it. I could only imagine what your FI would think and feel if he heard them say that.

    I don't what kind of advice to give you on bring it up to FI because I feel like either way he might take it in a bad way. Which sucks. Maybe you can get a wedding band that is really you and that you really like. Some people just wear the band after the wedding.

    [QUOTE]I have a vent that is going to make me probably sound horrible.  I really don't like my engagement ring (small 3-stone princess cut with no details).  I feel very guilty for saying it, but it is the truth.  I always wanted a unique ring the resembled more of who I am and something that stood out.  I told him before we were engaged that it will be the ONLY object thing I will have for my entire life everyday, so I would prefer it to be special. My FI is very frugal with certain things.  We know each others finances, so I know he has the money.  You know the "rule" about three months salary for the ring.  <strong>My friends joke that I got a half a month ring after taxes</strong>. I feel like I missed out on the exciting times of showing off your ring when you first get engaged.  I would love to get a new one.  I don't know whow to bring it up without hurting him!! I would pay for it myself, but I know that would just hurt him even more.  I feel like I am going to be stuck with a ring I don't like for the rest of my life!

    I would be pissed if my friends joked about my e-ring.

    That is exactly what I was thinking when I read your post, Sarah. You can try on different bands with the e-ring and I'm willing to bet you'll be able to find one that compliments it and shows your taste. Maybe you'll even find one that makes the e-ring look more like "you".

    I would also be pissed if my friends made fun of my e-ring. If one of my friends didn't like theirs I would never even dream of making fun of it. That only makes it worse IMO.
