II/Vent: FI is a night owl and I'm not. I get up every morning and make us both breakfast and lunch and take out the dog and feed her breakfast. FI stays in bed and hits snooze/sleeps until I bring him breakfast and wake him up. I feel frustrated today because if I choose to sleep in 10 minutes later, then we leave 10 minutes later, and we sit in 15 to 20 minutes more of traffic than if we left "on time". But we've been together for over 3 years, so it's nothing new to me. I guess that's why this is an II. FI always says how much he appreciates my help in the morning...but I'm extra crabby today. Sometimes I just don't want to be the responsible one.
Confession: There are two couples I wish I had invited (one of FI's indirect managers and my parent's neighbors) and didn't because I'm really hoping for an overall guest count of 125 or less. It's looking like we're going to hit around 119 people and I desperately want to send them an invite too. B-listing is bad...but I never realized how tempting it actually was.
Re: Confessions/Vents/UOs/II
Confession @LaPeanut1018 - I was B listed once and didn't care/take it personal. The bride had a small destination wedding and we became closer after her engagement. H and I couldn't go, because we alread had a vacation planned a few weeks later, but it didn't bug me that she invited us after her RSVP date
Confession 2: I feel like I cheat on my diet on purpose on the weekends. I KNOW what I need to do to be better and come the weekend its like I just don't care. This makes me frustrated.
II: Running into my co-workers or, worse, clients at the gym. I don't want them to see me sweat...I feel the same way about H too (which I know is stupid since he's seen me in a variety of gross states).
Vent: I tried to be nice to work. I really did. I gave them my full availability and they abuse it. I have to cut back by 4 hours so you decide to have me work 5 days/week with 4 4 hours shifts and 1 8 hours shift? WTF? have me work 4 fuckin days, with 2 8 hour shifts... seriously!
RE: engagement photos - #1, you are all super pretty so enough of that, #2, @eilis1228 makes a good point that a lot of it is just interacting with each other instead of standing and smiling at the camera, and #3, professional photos make everyone look a million times better than photos taken by friends or phone cameras.
Case in point: I consider myself extremely unphotogenic and self-conscious and awkward in front of cameras. Thinking about engagement and wedding pictures was making me really anxious because I was so sure I would hate how I looked in them. I am THRILLED with our photos.
You all hired photographers because they are pros. You're all going to look fantastic and I demand that you AW your photos as soon as you get them.
Side note: I am feeling a bit bossy today...

I am seeing my adviser tomorrow. The issue is that while I do have the 120 credits that I need to graduate, I am missing 6 upper division credits. I have too many lower division credits and thus I am short 6.

Confession: I cannot watch shows/movies/nada re 9/11. Don't want those feels.
Vent: Fuck my sinuses and this cold.
UO: I'm not interested in wedding planning.
Still here and still fabulous!
