I can't wait. It's been my dream for so long. I can't wait to bury my perpetually cold feet in the powdery white sand! We only confirmed the reservations 6 weeks ago but it feels like forever. I just hope C (husband) doesn't have a head explosion if something doesn't go smoothly. I've already started packing, thanks to Home Shopping Network luggage (Simply Go). And I've fake and baked my skin, too. I can kind of wear a bikini (thanks to Venus swimwear). Love it.
We've been on this no fat diet. Man, I never thought I'd get so sick of fish and chicken. I'm going to eat anything BUT those 2 things on vacation. Unless I want to. It's so boring to eat about the same thing all the time! We've been working out on the Tony Little Gazelle. I really like it, as long as there's something on t.v.!
I'm still mentally exhausted from everything that's happened. I just want this wedding to go perfectly. Still batteling PBFs mother in a way. She gets an idea and that's all there is. Never occurs to her that there might be another way. Never in a million years. And I have to make sure I'm not trying to have things a certain way just to show I can! bleck.
I'm still knitting. Lots of great knitting blogs that I love. Maybe I'll add them sometime to my links.
And I think I've decided not to give up on my MK. I just can't afford to. Not financially and not emotionally.
It was like that episode of Dallas where Bobby dreamt it all, you know.
That's what we're calling Monday's insanity! just a dream.
And now on to the wedding!! WOW, I got my dress today and I love love love it! I can't believe how excited I am about it! And I guess PBF (pussy boyfriend)mom is taking care of the reception decoration. I didn't know what to do so she's doing it. i'll be there to decorate,etc
So now I just need to get tan for Mexico, keep losing weight for the wedding, and weep happy tears at the wedding!
Monday just really took it out of me, you know. I just am BEAT UP. I guess I'm over it, I just don't know what to do about planning the wedding. Do I need to do anything else? I never was trying to make decisions about it for Ethel, I was just saying 'here's kind of what needs to be done, etc'.
I still can't hardly talk about this. Maybe after the wedding.
Yesterday was the shittiest day. Ethel (stepdaughter about to be married) blew up at me for putting one of my sisters on punch duty at the reception. Ethel already asked someone else to do that. But I wanted my sister to do it because she has all these punch recipes.
I mean Ethel was crying, her dumb ass pussy boyfriend was here and they're holding each other like their life is so hard! I thought I was going to PUKE. WHen I saw that I knew something was up. After Pussy boy left I got it out of her. I told her I thought she was grasping at straws for something to be mad at me about. She said something about I was trying to do it my way. From the beginning she wanted me to do this stuff. All I was doing was making sure I had enough people to help at the recepetion. She was way out of control. I told her I was through worry about the damn wedding and she could take it over. I gave her 'the notebook' I made that had all the info and stuff in it. And of course husband got all mad at me for this happening, like it's my fault. He said I always used to blow up for no reason, and she learned it from me. Anything to blame me.
But what really tops it off! was that I told her it was not a good night for pussy boyfriend to come over last night. I wanted her to tell her dad in private what happened. Then husband told me to tell her to do 'whatever'. She took that to mean he could come over. So they sit there in her room just WAITING for me to cook them dinner. I thought that was pretty ballsy. Pussy boyfriend is so clueless.
I don't want to worry about this any more. She said she'd have Pussy Boyfriends mommy help. I think that's kind of a slap in the face. Who knows what she's told them about us. But I'm so over caring!
I guess I'm not awesome.
I drank a lot of rum last night.
Is it just me or am I awesome?
I'm awesome!
Great bachelorette party! I had so much fun w/ my sisters and neices. They're so funny! But of course, having me there was the icing on the cake!
what is it about being a younger sibling that can be so hard? I always feel like I'm 6 years old with them usually. But not this weekend so much. I tried to not focus on me so much, and focus on everyone else. That always helps, doesn't it?
Mexico in 15 days!! We're goin' to Mexico We're goin' to Mexico!
Don't know how much blogging I can do in the next 3-4 weeks. At least not the kind of blogging I'd like to do. Real in depth writing, I mean. But I will!
Not much new on the knitting front but I'm going to post some pics I think, this week!
Yesterday was just too exhausting and irritating to talk about! So I won't.
Can't wait till the 'G' Rated bachelorette tomorrow. Should be fun. 16 days to VACATION.
I'm on to learning how to purl now in my knitting venture. And I got 7 paperbag albums done for my sisters tomorrow night! I'm so glad I'm done with them. I doubt I'll be doing anymore scrapbooking until May.
Why are McDonalds french fries so damn good? The salt? The sticky floors at the McDonalds? Probably the grease!
I took Bobby Brady there for lunch. I love to eavesdrop on the other mothers there. (not that I'm Bobby's mom, but you know). I mistakenly thought 2 moms were cool. But when they were leaving I spied one of their kids' toys left behind in the play area. I gave it to one of the moms and she was just like 'oh thanks'. Like 'oh gross you touched it'. Whatever, fat ass.
Not to mention I ate the aforementioned french fries because Bobby didn't want them. In my defense I ordered him apple dippers, even Bobby heard me order them. But they gave me fries. And I couldn't just throw them away. I mean please, I can't live like some animal.
Our local scrapbook store is closing. I'm so sad. I wonder why. They're marking things down, but I can't buy any more supplies. I have so much stuff it's not funny. So even if it's on sale I should NOT be buying anything. .. Right?
Wednesday! Wow, I love Wednesdays. I'm hoping if I say that enough I'll convince myself! No luck so far.
I've been fighting a cold. Mainly it's in my throat and nose. So I'm really out of it. Bobby Brady is dropped off at preschool, I've got an hour or so before I have to pick him up. I've had it pretty easy the past couple of weeks, but I think that's ending! I know I'm whining but I hate it that Mike Brady doesn't know what time he gets off work. And my husband who works with him doesn't know when he gets off work either. Nature of the job but blah. So when Greg Brady gets home from school he'll have an attitude about coming back to my house. But I'd rather be piddeling around my house than their house. If I knew Mike was getting home within a couple of hours of when Greg gets home from school, I'd just hang out there. oh whoa is me.
So we're having a 'G-rated' bachelorette party Saturday night w/ my stepduaghter and several if not all of my sisters. Should be fun! We're staying in a hotel and then she's having bridal #3 Sunday afternoon.
I think I'll go take a nap!
We'll (hubby and I) will be in Mexico in 20 days! I can't wait. Biggest trip we've ever taken together. It's 5 days 4 nights, wish it were longer, but I'm so excited. I just want to bury my feet in the sand and have cool drinks in the sun.
I have to get mother-in-laws taxes done today! Ick. I delay it longer and longer every year! Hate taxes. And when I called to make the appointment I talked to the crabbiest old lady! I hope she's not the one who actually does them.
I'm still bummed about admitting my Mary Kay business is a bust. I have so much supplies for it, samples, inventory, etc. I don't know what to do with it. I guess I could donate it. What a drag though. I kind of feel like I failed. But in reality, my business wasn't ever very big, I just thought about it a lot! But it was always my plan B, and I'm really depressed about this.
So peeps, on this day I hope you're not blue like me. And if you are, remember: Where ever you are, there you are.
Peace out.
