It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

[Lady Lallie]

She will start to mellow out. We never thought Bagheera would and now he is just a lazy cat that occassionally bats at a cat toy.

I really hope so. Sulley is the most mellowed out cat there is, but he was quite the crazy kitty, he used to do gymnastics across the curtain rods.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Glad to hear you got some rest! Much needed, I might add. I feel better about my whole ADR debacle last night. For now, I'm letting sleeping dogs lie, kwim?

And, I find your cat story funny, because we don't currently have pets, but we do have a toddler who sees fit to come into my bedroom, take my glasses out of the case and hand them to me, saying "Wake up, Mama."

Now that would be nice. Too bad I can't train Ruby to hand them to me when the alarm goes off. She just knocks them on the floor and I am afraid one morning I am going to step on them while getting out of bed. I would be lost without my glasses, I don't think I could even drive to work without them!

That is really too cute! Unless he is doing that at the crack of dawn?

I take it he has graduated to a big-boy bed? I guess he is three, isn't he?

It's cute if it's not before six am. Then is just a pain in the...ahem...

I take it he has graduated to a big-boy bed? I guess he is three, isn't he?

Yes. Once he started climbing out of the crib on his own, we knew it was time. We left him in there for quite a while though...right before his third birthday he started, and then DMIL gave us a toddler bed room in a box set for his birthday. Thank goodness, I wouldn't have spent the money on a toddler bed otherwise, but he really did need the half rails for quite a while so as not to fall out. It's Lightening McQueen too, which is funny because I had gotten him a McQueen fleece for Xmas. Great minds think alike, I guess.

Did the kitties (or kittie I should say) behave, LL, while you were at work?

 

[Lady Lallie]

Did the kitties (or kittie I should say) behave, LL, while you were at work?

She seemed too. She didn't wake up DF while he was sleeping. Though she just gave me this creepy look. I have a pile of boxes next to the computer desk for the wedding, which has become the kitty bed. They fight over it. She just jumped on it, which made a loud thuding noise, looked at me and then licked her lips. Freaks me out. I think she is possessed.

It's like a Stephen King book or something!

She knows you are writing about her!

She does. I really hope she mellows out soon. She is so mean to Sulley! I wish he would just kick her butt and then she would know not to mess with anyone. Alas, Sulley is a lover not a fighter.

 

[Lady Lallie]

I am completely overwhelmed by the Wedding. I promised to do an update and I just don't have the brainpower to do a list. That's right, LL can't do a list. Call the paramedics, the police, heck even the firefighters!
Don't get me wrong...I have thoughts of future lists but they are co-mingling with wedding lists and now I am just overwhelmed.

DF and I are currently fighting about music. He gets mad when I don't like songs he wants. I'm sorry...I don't want Bubble Toes, great song but I don't want it at my wedding. Same with songs that talk about heartache and sad stuff. There's a fine line. Ugh. He thinks I am too picky and I think he's not picky enough. Or he downloaded live versions of songs or songs that have other stuff over them like people talking, it is a wedding after all. Or this one he put "That'll be the day that I die." Let's not rush things, shall we? I love music, I really do but some of it I just don't want played at our wedding. Rant over.

I am also stressed about the replies, we are still waiting for probably half and they are supposed to be back June 7th. I told DF we are going to start making calls on the 9th. I don't care if this is frowned upon, we have a small venue with limited space and I am not going to worry about them squeezing in last minute people. We have to have our final count June 18th and payment. I have to do the seating chart, table labels center pieces, ................. Wasn't I just saying that I wasn't stressed? Yep, jinxed.

To top it allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll off, on the way home from bachelorette party I am going to have a passenger. MIL. She was invited to the Spa because everyone made me feel guilty that my mom was included and she was not. She is driving up with DF's cousin who is a bridesmaid but she has to leave early. :::Sigh::: It will be okay. I just got a little tweaked when she wrote to me an email "I am looking forward to spending some alone time with you." There goes the spa relaxation!

Okay, the Disney portion of my rant. I feel a list coming on...I must not be sick!

Things LL will think about when stressed about Wedding:

Dole Whips
Tonga Toast
Mary Poppins
DISboard Friends
The Great Movie Ride
Wilderness Lodge
Kona Cafe
Cinderella's Royal Table
Mickey's Philharmagic
Walking down an almost empty Main Street
MNSSHP
Electrical Water Pageant
Towel Animals
Spectromagic
Illuminations
Lobster Soup/Lobster Salad from Coral Reef
Sharing WDW with my new DH

Okay...I feel better. Just gotta type it out.

Oh...and I added a bunch of DF's song, I love him, I'll give him Bob Marley.

Total Wedding Songs: 95
Total Playing Time: 5.7 hours

Aww....

It will get better, I promise.

And see, you did have a list in you after all...

and Bob Marley's not that bad...

Don't worry...

about a thing....

cause every little thing...

is gonna be alright...

Thank you!

Your right, Bob Marley is not that bad, but the songs DF picked of his were not the most wedding like. I'm over the music, it's done, it's finished, I am moving on.

 

[Princesskeyblade]

I am sorry you are stressed

Vent away here, we love to

for good measure!

I am just sick and tired of everything. I am not happy with my so called friends who are trying to blow off going to the spa and the fact that they left my bachelorette party planning to my mother. I am disgusted since I have always been there for them.

I am not usually such a negative/complainer type of gal!

You are fully entitled to complain about this though.....

If it were me, I would be really mad and they would know it!!!

I'm getting to that point. It just upsets me. I want your opinion on this....at DF's bachelor party, he didn't pay for anything, some people even gave him money to gamble with. None of my bridal party have offered to cover anything at the spa. Now I don't expect them to pay for everything but it would be nice for them to offer. My mom even had to tell them that I would not be paying for my dinner and drinks when they were emailing back and forth about splitting dinner. They included me in the split! My mom and DF's mom told them that I shouldn't be paying for that since the dinner is in my honor. It is just aggravating. Most of them are even getting more Spa Treatments than me, so we will have to sit around and wait for them. I feel like they should at least offer or not have to be told to pay for my dinner. If it wasn't for my mom I wouldn't even be having a party.

I have just had it. Not a single one has called to offer any help or just letting me vent. I am so done with them. It's sad that I feel that way but they never ever think about me or act like they actually care.

LL, I can NOT believe this! I do believe that it is one of the MOH's duties to plan the bachelorette party and you should NOT be paying for anything, in fact you should not have to be waiting for them. (I suppose that you could spend some time in the sauna) And your poor mom! Having to tell them that you were not paying for dinner must have put her in an awkward place. Paying for everything for the Bachelorette party is concidered good manners for bridesmaids. (I can see not paying for everything if you were going to Vegas for the weekend.)

Have you bought the gifts for the bridesmaids yet? I think they are suposed to be gifts to show appreciation for all the help they gave you durring the process. Honestly, I would not get them big ones.

LL, I am mad for you!

Thanks for making me feel better. I thought maybe I was overreacting.
I have already bought their gifts, I have had them since January. I'm glad I got the necklaces on sale! Ha! I even made them little handbag thingys that match their dresses for the wedding day. Ugh.
I'm more upset that my friends just don't care. I am done with the MOH. I have a feeling she is going to say something about my mom and the bacherlorette party (like she did with the bridal shower) and I am going to flip out on her. I have kept my mouth shut for months and I have had it. I could care less if she even shows up for the Wedding.
The last time I talked to her she said, "Well, the reception will only last like an hour, right?" COULD SHE NOT PENCIL ME IN FOR THE WHOLE AFTERNOON!?! IT IS THE WEDDING RECEPTION AFTERALL! I couldn't believe that, apparently she thinks because I am not having the traditional dancing, etc that she only needs to be there for an hour. I don't even want her to sit at my table.

 

[dizziedupbaby0127]

LL, Oh wow! thats all i can say! I can't believe your MOH would do/say something like that! When she asked about the reception being like an hour, I would have responded with something like "oh well even that might be too long" in a snotty voice. Then maybe she'd go for 30 minutes then leave,

I honestly don't know if I could deal with that without telling her how I felt. In a semi-nice way. Either way DONT let it ruin your wedding. Its YOUR day and its all about you!!!!!

I've been trying really hard to not be too demanding and not a bridezilla but I think I might have too, so I can get the point across. I am really contemplating putting her and her husband at a different table, I don't want her negativity on our Wedding day.

You definately should say something... This is not the stress and unhappiness that you deserve so close to your wedding!
