Hello...hello.
in Wedding Woes
How are you wonderful ladies doing? Today is my first day back to work and I am still on summer time. Man, I need my mid-morning nap.
How are the kids, husbands, dogs? I'm good. Didn't travel as much this summer. Saving for something big. More info to come later.:)
Is it still dead around her? WW's will never be bust like back in the day. I'll try and pop in more often this school year. It just got so busy because we lost a counselor and I was working like a Hebrew slave last year.

Re: Hello...hello.
Thanks for keeping the board alive.
Anyhoo, glad to hear things are going well. Kids went back to school yesterday. Pretty typical SSDD around here. The kiddo is a HS senior if you can believe that.
I am on the edge of my seat for your updates.
Good to "see" you again! I'm also looking forward to your updates.
My usual mellow job has been super busy and driving me nuts lately. But I still like it here. I was supposed to take today off and get blood work for an upcoming dr. appt. but, I'll be out most of next week, and just couldn't afford the time. So now I'm going to have to reschedule my dr. appt. Oh well!
On the bright side, I'm out most of next week because I'm going back to CA to visit family.
Things are going well and the Mr. and I celebrate 11 years tomorrow. Hoping to have en escape at lunch to buy him something.
I don't just hold grudges, I nurture them and make sure they get plenty of sun and water so they will grow big and strong for years to come. I am holding such a grudge against SD.
Well, a family friend is coming into town in a couple weeks for a preseason game and staying at my house. We'll be at the game all day Saturday, she's leaving Sunday morning and I just texted her about Friday night and maybe I'd BBQ. She said she wanted to see SD at some point during the weekend. So now WTF do I do? Invite him to my house? Hope he doesn't bring his disgusting succubus lovely wife? Tell Friend to have fun with him and I'll see her later?
UGHHHH. I LOVE this woman and she might be the only person I'd set aside my well cared for grudge for.
I think if it were me. And my dislike was that strong for multiple good and valid reasons. I'd tell her, "Oh, okay! I understand if you want to see SD Fri. night. We'll have leftover BBQ in the fridge for you, if you're still hungry when you get back to the house."
Either she'll pick up the subtle message that SD/wife are NOT a welcome presence in your home. Or, if she suggests they come over so everyone can spend time together, then I'd make a general statement like, "SD and I don't get along well (or something to that effect) and I don't want to spend an evening with him."
I know it can be hard to bring up unpleasant things. Especially with people we like. You'll just need to decide which is the lesser of two evils. Being a little blunt about your feelings. Or spending an entire evening with SD/wife.
SSC- I agree with Short+Sassy. Let her hang out with him away from you.
Happy anniversary Banana!!
Im sorry about your sellers (yesterday’s post) I don’t understand why people do that. I just sold some dresses on eBay and a buyer put in multiple offers on the same dress, I accepted the second one and then nothing. Didn’t pay, didn’t respond to messages, just MIA.
I am in a constant state of worry when I'm buying a property, lol, so I hear ya! But, more than likely, it doesn't mean anything. It could be as simple as the attorney and/or the asst. didn't have time yesterday and it's an unspoken "we don't work on a lot of Fridays" kind of place.
Out of curiosity, what's with all the attorneys? Is that a NY thing? Where I live, it is typically an attorney who works for the title company that performs the closing. But it doesn't have to be. I had one closing where it was just me and the notary. I've never retained an attorney for a real estate purchase and none of the sellers I've had, did either. So I'm interested to find out if that is something that varies by state and/or region!
SSDD plus a facial later and then dinner with my parents. I was going to stay home today but then the place I used to go to had a great special for the type of facial that makes my skin look fantastic and I decided I had to go.
FI is going to a UFC game on Saturday for work and is going to stay out in LA, so I'm going out with FSIL for dinner. Other than that just studying and trying to keep cool this weekend.
Im so frustrated by the process here. We just heard the seller wants until next Wednesday to close. I sent a pretty snarky email to our attorney telling h to push back because that’s ridiculous.
HI NOLA!!!!
Getting ready for back to school (4th, 2nd, kinder). I just finished my back to school shopping. Hit the grocery for $5 off 50 in gift cards then went through ebates for everything. Bought all of the stuff to fill snack bins and a bunch of frozen fruit to portion out for smoothies.
Got another soccer schedule and now I'm setting up all of the team admin shit. I think the coach is already annoyed with me. Hope he doesn't take it out on 6let.
This weekend Trump will be about 2 miles from my house. I'm going to be spending the day drinking since we won't be able to go anywhere.
I usually like to listen to the local AM station in the evening. All of the OSU drama is making me want to punch the radio.
Then several weeks of silence go by.
I followed up with them today and was apologized to for the lack of communication, but told that they'd decided to downgrade the job to an entry-level position but want to "keep my resume" on file for the future and "will be in touch" the next time they want to hire someone at my level.
As if. Like I would ever want to work there in the future after this. I'm sure that the only way I'd know they'd want to hire someone at my level ever again is when the job reappears on job hunting sites like Indeed.
So much bullshit. Meanwhile, I'm broke and have no way to get out of being broke. Everyone fucking wants money from me, but nobody wants to hire me and pay me enough that I can support myself without help from my parents, who keep chewing me up because of this stupid situation.
