And it didn't affect your enjoyment of the wedding at all, did it? I am getting better about realizing that I have to please myself (and Chuck when it is the two of us) and it doesn't matter "how it looks" to others.
It didn't at all, just makes for a few silly looking pictures!
If only I could tell my mother that. (Well, I have, but it hasn't sunk in.) She's concerned that Bob's mom bought a short dress and she has a long dress that it won't look right....
You know, I have to admit.... that would bother me
. That being said, I know it wouldn't/won't affect the day
at all, but I can understand where she's coming from! Then again, I planned everything down to the detail so much that EVERYONE that knew me worried how crazy I'd be on the wedding day. Instead, when it arrived (as I predicted ...
), I realized that it was going to be perfect regardless of what had happened. I just wanted to TRY and be in control of as much as possible, but realized even then that none of the details really mattered. Nobody gave me any credit!
I did. Driving wasn't bad at all. It was just like any other rainy day. Of course there were all the other idiots driving like maniacs and hydroplaning off the road but I didn't have any trouble. My meeting went well. I feel like I'm in much better shape financially now that I've spoken to an expert. John and I have come to an agreement about how much he wants/gets out of the equity, which is way under half, so I need to get things moving before he changes his mind. Now it's just a matter of deciding which loan to take. I need to do my homework on the no interest loans. My plans are not to stay here more than 5 yrs, 7 at the max. Bob and I have talked and if we end up staying together, we wouldn't stay in this house. If I am on my own, this house and yard is too much for me to take care of by myself, so either way I would end up moving. But I don't want to do it until the market turns around. That's where my 5-7 yr plan comes in.
After that I went to Justice, Just for Girls. Do any of you have girls that shop here? Man, I could go crazy in that store. It has all the latest fashions for teens and tweens. I picked up a few fall outfits for Alyssa. And some earrings to accessorize them.
We have that store, it looks adorable!
we just got a phone call that theres a fire with firemen on the roof where my brother is working--he tpyically goes on the roof and its SO windy...so here i sit, waiting for him to get down and call! oui!
I'm glad to hear he's home safe and sound!
goign back to look--thanks!
Ooh, Tammi thanks! That's cool!
I bought 3 or 4 of his DVD's at Virgin Records when we were at Disney. I have seen most of his stuff at least once but I can't help but laugh hysterically when I watch it.
I seriously have never heard of this guy you all are talking about. Link?
Today I went to Michael's and I got 2 16x20 collage frames, with room for 10 pictures in each. My intentions are to make one with each of the kids photos in them. I'd like to start working on them tomorrow. It's going to be hard trying to decide which 10 out of almost nine years worth of pictures to choose.
Oh please post pictures when you're done! What kind of frame are they?
Janet -- adorable new signature!
Bernadette -- congratulations on booking your next trip. That does help with the funk, doesn't it?!
So who is ready for some football tomorrow?!!?!?!?
ME!!
So I was flipping through old photos trying to decide what I want to put in the frames that I bought. I just had to share these with you. In the first he wasn't too happy with the booties on his feet.
Oh my gosh, you are both too cute!
Not really. A little overtired. Becky called last night at 12:30am in tears. Her stomach was hurting her worse than it ever had she said. She couldn't sleep (that is 1:30 down there) and she was laying on the floor because she has a top bunk. She said she was twitching and couldn't get the right temperature (she was either too hot or too cold).
It was awful not being able to help her out except to talk with her. She called back about 3 times until 2am my time. I finally was able to help her relax enough so that she could crawl in her bed and at least relax enough to get some rest. She said she fell asleep about 5:00am. I don't think she is eating right. I had a talk with her about it today.
She is meeting a lot of people but she says she doesn't have much in common with them. Unfortunately, she is too much like her mother. I don't have the same sense of humor as most people and seem to have a much more black & white of right & wrong than many and so does she. I reminded her when I dropped her off that she has to remember that there are many shades of grey between our black & white and she has to be tolerant.
I knew it would be hard for her to move away. I'm really proud of her for doing it.
I'm sure this is hard on both of you, Vicki!
I was just looking at that a few minutes ago. I hope you have the same luck with Ike as you did with Gustav, and that we did with Hanna.
Well said, Tammi! I totally agree!
I should be going to bed. But I so love this quiet time.
I can understand that! I spent about 2 hours online last night working with old pictures becuase the girls were sleeping. I never sleep well when Kyle is on call, anyway (obviously
)

Hopefully it wasn't this bad for Lindsay!
Yikes!
I honestly think that's what traveling together does to people more often than we realize. After our first trip with the Uncles it was a LONG time before I felt like our friendship was back to normal. The second trip we took together wasn't too bad.
My first bosses went on a trip to the Virgin Islands with some friends and they came back not speaking to their friends. I never did find out exactly what happened - some sort of fight between Dadboss and the wife of the other couple.
That is exactly why I refuse to travel with the in-laws, on any sort of trip I plan. They would do nothing but complain the entire time... and yet they wonder...
You all talk a lot, you know that?!
I popped on here just to post a link that I can't believe I've failed to post up until now.
When we were at Miami, Kyle was in and then led an a capella group. They mostly did (and still do) popular songs - and not so popular, but usually hidden gems! - but occasionally, they write their own...
Facebook users and those familiar with it on any moderate level should appreciate
(FYI Kyle had already graduated, so that's why you won't find him in the video
)
Facebook
and Chris promises not to complain
From there we will probably do Hawaii Summer of 2012. The kids are already looking forward to that trip.
Marci knows for sure.
