Wednesday?
in Wedding Woes
Morning Wedding Woers!
The parents have their power back so they're going home. I love them, but bye:). Rosie is going to be lonely though, she loves my dad.
Last night I had a mini meltdown at work. This transition is just harder than anticipated and when you work with friends I think it's even harder because you're disappointing friends. Luckily the rest of the week is pretty slow so I can regroup and start back kicking ass next week!
Also RIP Barbs. I (very obviously) disagree with the politics of the Bush family but always respected them as people. They seem genuinely kind and I'm a sucker for George HW's letters.

Re: Wednesday?
I finally have a day where I don't have a lunch time errand. It feels like it's been a long week because I've been running around like crazy.
Oh, I watched the new Chef's Table season over the weekend. Loved it. It's all pastry this season.
I'm giving lettuce wraps a whirl for dinner tonight. DH is excited. I hope it measures up to his expectations.
Not much last night. Ended up stopping at a friend's place because M heard he lost his job, so he wanted to go make sure he was okay. It's a fucking shit show on what happened, so he'll be calling the labour board about it to make sure certain things that happened are legit allowed {it sounds super sketch}
He was also showing us the BBQ he'd just bought. Which is where the whole situation turns interesting.
So 3 people of our group show up at his place one night at 9:30pm {which is a whole other deal, but w/e} and they're checking out the bbq.
One asks if he's having a bbq soon, he says yeh soon - just waiting on nice weather cuz sitting outside is ideal.
The female - who use to be my BFF and was co-MOH at the wedding - asks who's invited. Our buddy says 'uh, prob everyone?' {hello red flags - he saw this coming too}
Then she specifically asks if M and I are being invited.
Our buddy - who even said, likes us better than them but didn't wanna get into shit cuz it's late - says that yeh we would be.
Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. ME.
Bitch, you are fucking 27yrs old. Grow up.
I feel bad that our buddy is kinda stuck in the middle. I mean, I assured him that we wouldn't do/say anything - tbh I'd prob avoid her as much as possible - because I'm not a fucking child and I'd never try to dictate who would be invited to someone else's house!
Good lord ...
2 quotes have recently come to mind that I must have seen somewhere.
"What a person says about you, says more about them than you"
and
"If someone is willing to gossip to you, they will be willing to gossip about you"
/rant
I know she's talking shit about me, and this is pretty on par.
Keep in mind, this is the same girl who got pissy with me because she wasn't invited to our gender reveal ....
Also he did tell them we are invited ... I may have forgotten to put that part in.
I'm trying to convince my H to take a day or two where he does something adult with his dad/step-mom and we still send B to daycare. Could pick B up in early afternoon so they still get to see him. Not sure he will go for it because he can never think of stuff to do with his dad.
My stepMIL posted a meme this morning of two pictures of the Rock and the caption is "Did you know that Dwayne Johnson and the Rock are twins?".
It was not a joke.
She also posts funny videos and calls them "historical".
That's all I got. She makes me sad.
@kimmiinthemitten, I'm sorry to hear you had a mini-meltdown. But definitely regroup and kick ass!
@MissKittyDanger, your former friend's conversation does sound ridiculous! Like, what? They aren't going to go to his party if you all are there? Though, I do agree with @STARMOON44. The mutual friend shouldn't have said anything to you all. Here's my quote: "It takes two people to hurt you. Your enemy to say something negative about you. And your friend to tell you about it."
Not related to anything, I have to share another quote I heard recently that I like: "Anger is like drinking poison...and expecting it to kill the other person."
Nothing exciting today. This is the slow part of the month at work and I'm going to try and tackle the less urgent, "whenever I have time" piles of stuff.
I should also do research on our next vacation! That would add a little pizzazz to the day, lol. Hotel rooms in NYC look to be on the cheaper side in July and August. I am worried there is a reason for that, lol, but affordable hotels sound good to me!
Someone in an anxiety program I was in years ago said something similar that has stuck with me. "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.". I believe it's Buddha.
AND CONGRATS @thisismynickname2!!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting!
Honestly, I'm not angry about it. I kinda saw this coming but was in denial for awhile, but at our age I really thought she'd be more civilized.
I wanna say I'm amused, but that's not the word I'm really looking for.
@mrsconn23 we're having lettuce wraps for the first time too! Dh hates mushrooms. Im trying to decide if I should only put them in my part or cut them really small and hope he doesn't notice.
Also, I was inspired to give them a try by your FB post about being in a dinner rut.
My first thought is sports though lol
@Misskittydanger, what is up with that girl? It's just so easy to ignore if you do happen to show up at the same place.
@Mrsconn23, lettuce wraps are great. I'm cooking fajitas tonight from a homechef box, and instead of the tortillas I'll use a rice paper wrap like they do summer rolls. VERY good, still get a 'wrap' feel and way less cals and carbs. H and I are making them a staple in our house lately.
Have a meeting tonight about a lead-in Pride even that I hope I can make work. The rest of my life is SSDD, nothing too exciting.
Last time I saw her was at her place, and she acted cordial - meanwhile this other girl who I was BFF's with hid in the kitchen entire time {yep, same 2 people!}
I'm waiting for a better update on DH's grandmother but it's looking more likely that she's had a series of mini strokes. I think she's still in the hospital and they may move her to a rehab facility when she's able to leave. From there it's up in the air regarding where she can stay. She moved in with DH's aunt but if she can't walk being in that home may not work. I'm sad.
I think I've posted about this before, but I run the Twitter/social media for a Women's Caucus in our field & at a conference we hosted in Jan. a woman disclosed that a BIG NAME in our field sexually harassed her. Two other women also came forward. The university and the discipline association boards are investigating him. So this morning he posts he resigned from his Editorial position in a blog post on the journal board, while publicly calling the women liars. So he's using his position to further humiliate them, rather than just resigning and doing from his personal website. He's an ass. Anyway much of my day is not spent on Twitter watching the reactions. She's tagged us in some posts (since it was our panel where she initially disclosed) so I'm all Twitter today.
They've just got a really rough school schedule...that's messed up their work schedule....then derby has been taking up weekends again. And my meeting schedules are usually M, W, their derby schedule is T, R, so we usually get at least Friday evening. Derby has been taking up weekends and when they're home, they're doing homework and I'm usually working on paperwork for Pride. So even when we're home together, we're each at our individual desk. So there's been no actual "let's be a couple" time for awhile. Need. Vacation.
Ordered the dress I'm hoping to wear to my shower on May 6th! I'm prob picking up a few more next week but these were too cute to pass up
Got this to wear:

Also ordered this, but it won't be in on time likely

I feel bad because I know H is picking up most of the slack at home, and I try and tell him how much I appreciate it, but I do feel bad.
