That shirt looks so great! I love what you did with the rhinestones!

 

[irishwishes]

I love love LOVE your tank top!! It looks so cute!!

My jaw always drops whenever I read your stories about your FMIL. I'm sorry you have to deal with all of it but you really seem to take it like a champ. Rant ALL you want on here.

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

I love the shirt! The rhinestones look great!

So, you already ordered your cake? I thought we couldn't order a cake until 2 weeks before the date needed. Please tell me more.......

Oh your FMIL strikes again. Well at least she offered to pay for cupcakes after planning a big party you have to pay for.........

Thanks! I didn't know about the time frame, but I called the cake line, then referred me to talk to Pat, and she took the order. I would try and call!! She's a real piece sometimes, lol.... but what are ya gonna do

Deena, LOVE the t-shirt! It's adorable!

I also wanted to send good vibes that your cake turns out well. My dh ordered me one for my 40th a couple of years ago and ... it was really bad! None of us liked it ... even my little niece and nephew who will pretty much eat anything hated it, LOL! I'm not trying to scare you ... just stay on top of those cake folks and hopefully you'll end up with a much better result than we did!

Thanks!! I hope the cake is good... at least for pictures

So, that shirt looks fabulous! I love it! =] Can't wait to see the others that you make!

thanks i just need to find the time to sit down and do them!!

I LOVE the shirt! Too cute!

CUTE shirt!!! Love, love, love the jewels!!!

_____________________________________________

i don't know why i come here and type when i'm crying and upset... but here i am. the manager at chase has pretty much ruined my life today.

let me start from last night. i had a to-do list about 6 miles long and planned on taking care of it all. until i get the text--dinner with mom at longhorn. really? on my free night that i NEED? i knew it wouldn't be pretty because i was going to tell her there was no reception. dave said not to bring it up unless she does--but i knew she would. we sat down, she started showing me old black and white pictures she found in the garage and telling me about 4 generations, and i know the look on my face was like--i'm not interested, but i'm trying kinda hard to look like i am. then she tells us about how she got a great deal on 70 pounds of kitty litter we order, the waiter walks away, and she asks about the f'ing cupcakes. deep breath and word vomit--i don't think we're going to have a reception. she slams her hands down and says "what?" i shrugged my shoulders and told her i can't afford it. she's like, well i can help.... i reply.... i can't--i can't contribute anything. she said we only care about ourselves and not about anyone else. HELLO--NEWSFLASH--THATS WHAT A WEDDING IS ABOUT. so this went on and on, and if i wasn't sitting on the inside of the booth, i would have picked up my purse and left because she was literally yelling at me--but i was blocked in. i should not feel inferior because i want to pay off my debt and make something nice of my house--i need to be a big girl and say--hey, i have other things i need to take care of. we talked about expenses... and she's like, well i thought the groom is supposed to buy his suit. yeah... well your son is broke and has no money--and his job has a freeze on raises that he was supposed to get 2 of this year---so all this is my money. She told me how much her wedding cost... and I can't even begin to explain the words that were going through my head--they are wildly inappropriate. she kept saying how she wishes there were a big party. i just unleashed and said that we are not party people and it would be very awkward for me to put a lot of money into something we don't even want to go to. she complained that there are family members that havent been formally told we're engaged--meaning his grandfather--NOT MY PROBLEM. that's david's problem--not mine--i don't want to hear about it. so she finally turned off and was like--well you're saving me money. whatever--just hush. dinner did not go well. i know there were other details, but when i'm tramautized, i tend to lose my mind and forget. i'd also like to add that whatever bug spray or knock off perfume she wears in excess... gags me. it's offensive. i don't think i've ever said this--but i'm gonna let it fly today. funny enough one of the reasons i wasn't going to have dave stay with her the night before the wedding, and i was going to PAY for my own room was because i didn't want him and his stuff to smell like her. it's gross and i wouldn't be going near him i didn't even want them in a limo together--or anywhere that scent could grab onto him. with that being said--i know one day she will find this and i will have to pay the consequences--but maybe it will be a little awareness.

afterwards, we went to men's warehouse--no luck. went to macy's--found the perfect suit--on sale!! going to get it on wednesday!!! i came home flustered from dinner--none of my to/do list done--but happy we found a suit we agreed on.

this morning, i thought... well maybe by chance that check cleared and i can go get that suit today. ummmmmmm no. rewind to saturday when the bank manager gave me some of the money back from the check, i made her promise me that it wasn't holding against what currently was in there because there were bills and orders and everything was already spoken for. she assured me, and i told her i was just nervous because i can't have any problems with this. she said nothing was holding against the current money at all. okay genius---then what in the hell happened last night when I got 6 $34 fees and my available balance is negative $650ish. someone lied to me--screwed it up--and i'm so mad that all i've done is cry all morning. i know it was probably a mistake, but i sat there and told her and told her and she kept assuring me it was all okay. this has to be fixed like RIGHT NOW. apparently she doesn't come in until noon... my stress level is so high.

---i just called back again, lol. there was another manager there--and he fixed it all. i knew it was a mistake/oversight/screw up but it's scary because i've been so careful. so i don't even have to go in--i'm trying to calm down--but he said i won't see the fix until tomorrow morning--but everything is paid and fees are reversed. good thing i have $16 in cash with me for lunch. i can not explain the meltdown i've had this morning---i felt like i was having a heart attack... all because someone couldn't take 30 seconds to do their job properly. even though it's fixed, i'm still crying. i'm not a fan of taking meds at work--but today might just be an exception.

it's funny that i read thru my pj from time to time and i think.... how can all this happen to one person? does this happen to regular people? i've always been a fan of the quote... god never gives us more than we can handle... but yeesh--could i at least get a break?? the only light at the end of the tunnel is that all this is keeping me so busy and it will be over in about 85 days (i think). i think i'm going to start rigging my kodak playsport in my purse for when crazy stuff happens--i want to prove this isn't fabricated, lol.

i'm going to go try to eat something---i feel so sick from this morning. hope everyone is having a great week

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

OMGOSH!!! That is awful! Just all of it... is awful. Your FMIL is awful, the stupid BANK is really awful...

(But, actually, your DIY shirt is amazing.) But the rest of it is AWFUL!!! I am so sorry you have to go through this all the time.

Your wedding is going to be TOTALLY amazing though. It really is--- I can feel it!!!

Do you need a pick me up from the World? Let me know

 

[pinkmiss3]

I am so sorry that you have to deal with all this crap. First that crazy dinner, and then that stuff with the bank. At least its all fixed now.

I love that shirt, you did a really good job!

 

[lilsqueakrr]

I was just thinking that! - girl this wedding is a made for TV event! I'm thinking BravoTV will jump on this story line, LOL!

I was away (with no internet/TV access) in Maine (beautiful by the way!) Glad to be all caught up, I found myself wondering what was up with you! LOL!!)

 

[tinkerbell 766]

Deena sweetie - I love the tee-shirt!! It turned out really great!! You are so clever!!
Forget your MIL's tantrums!!! She is the one being selfish, and I fear she may be out to spoil this wonderful time for you!!! Please don't let her. You deserve to be so happy right now and this is becoming a real 'fly in the ointment'. Just ignore her outbursts and make the most of your last few planning weeks!!!
Much love to you sweetie!!

Thanks Joanne! You always make me feel better I told DF that you've given me more helpful advice than my own family It means a lot!

________________________________________

So even after the bank said it would all be fixed in the morning--I was stewing over it all afternoon. I finally called back around 4pm, and was like---thanks for the help and all--but lets just fix it now. This time it was a lady, and she was most helpful, released all my money and as soon as we hung up--it was SHOPPING TIME! No more mess, everything fixed, and it's time to distribute. I overnighted my LOA and payment and Jason's contract/paid in full. Dave got his Jungle Trek, made a resort payment on both reservations, got flights--$200 more than they were 2 weeks ago but the non stops were almost sold out , went to go get my band--my chick wasn't there so I'll try today , went to get the suit but the guy hid it and the lady there couldnt find it , they didn't have his size shirt , he got 3 pr of shorts that he didn't try on and they didn't fit , a new agent p shirt--and we collapsed at olive garden. I passed out at 8:45pm from sheer exhaustion--it was a bad day, lol. I was laying in bed and remembered I never went to the tanning salon to get my package--there's always tomorrow. They have a great deal for tan till the end of the year for 149 for level 3 beds... perfect. Oh, I also called and paid for the BM dress--that was a win... I love that dress.

Today I need to go get the suit and my band, and return his shorts. I need to search online for his odd size shirt too.

My goal is to have everything material wise done and paid for by the end of the week. After that--it'll just be saving for the DFTW balance, Resort balances, spending, and APs. I faxed the request for the marriage license this morning.

I'm still a little mad over the flight thing--but I need to get over it. It was $401 2 weeks ago and I could see the seats filling up--I ended up paying $596. I could have taken a later flight for cheaper, or a connecting flight---but I HATE ATL--and definatley don't want to screw with moving my dress/his suit on connections. Getting there later was not in my plan because this is my dream stay at the Grand Floridian--don't take hours away from me!! I kept thinking that the stress of connections was not worth it on my wedding trip and to just suck it up. So that's what I did.

I've also lost 4 pounds. I've been eating as terrible as ever so I'm not sure how that's happening--but I'll take it!

It really is all coming together now!! I think I may be freaking out with excitement!!!

 

[lilsqueakrr]

Yay! I was thinking about you last night! But I got sidetracked and never got around to texting you!

I'm so happy things are coming together for you! And um that tanning package sounds fabulous! haha. I'm about to go get my tan on myself! <3

Sorry to hear about the madness with the suit and shorts, I will say the one good thing about my Dave is he actually tries EVERYTHING on. lol. Yay for Agent P! I got Dave a Mater one the other day! ;D

Hope you can get your band today! Must post pictures once you get it! I'm so excited for you Miss Deena! And since you'll be getting married in November you may be down there to celebrate your anniversary when we do our Vow Renewal! Eep! We can FINALLY meet up! (Unless you mosey on over to NJ one day! ;D)

xoxoxo*

 

[princesswendy720]

I've been reading along on my phone but keep forgetting to comment. I'm sorry your FMIL is being a pain and that you had issues with your bank. I know ALL about bank issues...I had thousands of dollars stolen from me via an iTunes attack on my paypal account and it took way too long to have it sorted out. Yay for getting everything paid for!! Im excited for you!

 

[foolinthemoon]

LuvLuvLuv! i'm popping in because i can't help myself!!! I was skimming through and got sucked in! lol (Do you want to be my cow?)

I would just like to say i love your wedding dress... (mostly because thats the one i had in mind XD)

I like you're take on the Bridal shirt!!! You see so many rhinestone BRIDE shirts and while they are cute, they've been done... A LOT! so i think you're is adorable (not to mention so VERY appropriate for a Disney Bride!! )

________________________________________

Okay... it's been another busy day. Remember how I didn't like the comment the jewelry dude made to me... well it's been eating at me. I also feel kinda guilty that Dave got a cheap band, and I was going to pay $899 (plus tax) + 120 for the protection plan for a 1/3 carat band--seemed excessive. So I researched. Overstock sent me an offer for 10% so I thought I'd look there first. I hope I don't regret this--but before I knew it--this was in my cart and I was checked out.

http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Wa...niversary-Ring-H-I-I2-I3/4835583/product.html

I don't know what came over me... I hope I did the right thing... it came to $576 with the protection plan after the code and is considerably bigger than the other. Lets just pray about it, lol.

I also decided today that since we're going with a suit instead of a tux... that me trying to seam that or travel with it was a no-go. I got my Carolyn Allen's appointment all set up and ready to go--will ship both down. Praying that my dress will be here in time to ship!!

Funny how I had all the bank drama and all that money is GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I mean gone. I have enough to go get his suit, get my tanning package, and roll through Chik-Fil-A on the way home. Sadness. Good thing I get paid tomorrow I'm a professional money spender--if you need assistance--I can help.

Because Dillard's is so generous to me... I told them I had stuff I had to pick up at 6pm tonight so I didn't know what to do about my shift (6-9). They were like... well just come in from 7:30-9. Really? Thanks a lot... how worthless is that shift? Then I'll go tanning after So after tonight... the only purchase we need to make is his odd size shirt that is rareeeeeeee. I'm not worrying about it today. We need to finish our resort/dining payment, our wedding balance, purchase APs, License, Spending/Tips, Hair, Nails, Spa, Rev Jack Day, Carolyn Allens, Luggage and Town Car. Yeah--still a ton, but all the little, yet very important stuff is out of the way. Yayyyyyyy

 

[librarygeek]

Sorry you had so much frustration with your FMIL and the bank! But I'm glad the money stuff got all straightened out in the end. Still, I totally feel your pain - when other people are incompetent it can really ruin your day. But congrats on getting so much shopping done, it must feel good to have some of the stuff finished with!

And that ring that you got from Overstock looks really beautiful. Hopefully you'll love it when you see it in person! We bought DF's wedding band from there as well.

 

[lilsqueakrr]

That band is gorgeous and sounds like a friggn bargain!

Also, I'm a professional money spender as well. It's a bad occupation. haha. But at least things are looking up and you got a lot of stuff done!

 

[donald&daisy]

What a pretty ring!!! Sorry the bank gave you such a hard time...that is so frustrating! I love that you're getting stuff done; it will be here before you know it! I booked us a tequila tasting for noon on my birthday (Nov. 12)....now if only I could make time move faster.

LOL!!! I have to say, the Chik-Fil-A comment caused me to wake up my other half!!! opps!

And the band is lovely! I'm sure you did right!

 

[chipmunkfan]

Your band is beautiful! Nice choice especially on an impulse buy!

Sounds like everything is coming together. I must say you are my inspiration and pushing me to get things done for my 11/13 wedding. I'm really behind.

I can't believe the airfare went up that much from last week...damn. I've been doing the same thing, playing the pricing game and the wait game. Sometimes it doesn't work in our favor.

Okay, my inspiration lady .......I am off to fill out my request for a marriage license and to figure out what the heck my man is going to wear!

OOOh that'll be great on your b-day!!! I'll be celebrating your b-day at Mandara Spa, lol--and he will be on his Jungle Trek. Maybe we'll pop thru Food and Wine for lunch

LOL!!! I have to say, the Chik-Fil-A comment caused me to wake up my other half!!! opps!

And the band is lovely! I'm sure you did right!

I love Chik-Fil-A--never bad customer service there!! And they have cherry coke!!

You better get a move on!! I'm just the nervous type, lol. Where do you fly out of?? Macy's is having a hugggge suit sale!!

______________________________________________

His suit--Check. Tanning Package for Me--Check. Trying to run all around town forgetting what day of the week/what week of the month it was = having to miss my 7:30-9:00 shift because of an "accident" I haven't encountered since high school I even thought it was funny--although it really wasn't, lol. I took it with a grain of salt, grabbed some taco bell and some midol and settled in on the couch until Dave got home. He had a wore out look on his face when he walked in. His mom popped up at his softball game and took him to the bar afterwards. ((how appropriate )) Rewind: When we were at dinner, and I explained that I was having a hard enough time getting November together, she made the comment that I can ask for help. So I sent her an email listing all the things left to pay for. It totaled $7,200 (I've already dished $5,100). So back to the bar: She unleashes on him about not having a party. He's like--mom--we don't want a party--we don't party. Then she starts on my email. She said she'll give us a $500 check Then procedes to tell him she's going to give his cousin $1000 to let us use her property for a party He's like--mom, no. She'll pay more for a party we don't want to have then to help us with what we need. So I'm at then end of hearing about this, I'm a little emotional due to the "week" and I just start to cry because I can't take it anymore. He told me to calm down and that he doesn't want a party, that she wants a party, and it's not even that she wants it--she wants to tie her name to it to look cool for a show. When he said that--it made me feel so good--because I knew this, but to have HIM say it, it just made me feel better that he's aware. She said to him: I try to like her, I really do. You know... when Dave first introduced me to her, she said how she had nothing but problems with his ex wife etc etc. I used to play softball with her, and couldn't imagine her acting as such--but honestly--now I'm seeing why. If she's in the mood for a party, why doesn't she throw a party?? An end-of-summer party? A Thanksgiving party? A Christmas party?? We don't want it, lol--leave us alone. At this point, I will continue to be difficult with her because my frustration and dislike is slowly bypassing my patience and becoming hate. It's such a strong word, but I'm being pushed every day and I am about ready to unload stuff DF doesn't want me to tell her. He has more financial issues than I can count--she doesn't know-and I'm trying to clean my own up, clean his up, and pay for a wedding that both of us will enjoy--not just throw together. I'm doing more for her son than she ever has and she continues to push me? I work 2 jobs and make a pretty decent living for this because I want us to have nice things, and I don't want us to be in debt forever. She should appreciate me more, but she can't because she has NO idea about what went haywire after he lost his job last summer. I love Dave and I know that he's ashamed of the situation he's in, but he doesn't make enough at his jobs to fix it. I'm trying to help--and I know that as soon as his job lifts the hiring/raise freeze that he'll be promoted and the tables will be turned. I know he wants to be the "man" of the house and feels like he's not. If I didn't have faith in him, I wouldn't do the things I do for us. I could hoard all the money I make for me, shop shop, go away on weekends like I used to--but I know he would do the same for me. Ugh, sorry--I really went on a tangent there.

On a side note--I threw together announcements on VistaPrint. Cheap--they say what needs to be said--I'll mail them the day we leave.

I re-designed my cake last night. Per my conversation with the cake lady, I wasn't sure that a "surprise" was going to cut it. So I drew one up in Publisher and sent it off to her. Hopefully I get a response soon. I showed it to DF and he really really liked it. I feel like I did good.

I feel like the past 3 weeks went really fast, but now that I'm done with the shopping part, and the planning part---time has stopped.

Stepmom is being distant again--hanging with a party crowd and too busy for me. My aunt has been amazing and supportive, but she doesn't get into the details and stuff--she just wants to know that everything is okay, good, goodbye. I feel like I'm really missing out on an experience because I never had a nurturing mother type in my life. My dad was that person. I never had a nurturing female in my life. Maybe that's why I'm so thick-skinned. I had to learn about life myself and figure out what wasn't going to work on my own. I thought maybe someday if I was lucky I would have a MIL that would fill that spot--instead I've been blessed with Jane Fonda in Monster-In-Law--but Kentucky-fied. Speaking of mothers. What would be the biggest nightmare of all would be if my biological mother found out about any of this. She's always down for a scene where the police show up. Last I knew (heard thru the grapevine) her and her husband are travelers and live in their bus-like motor home and travel from campground to campground--but mainly stay in Florida. I pray with everything I have that she never finds me.

Thinking in advance--I thought I would be in a giant rush for a baby after this--being 28 and all. After all these dramatics with FMIL... she's made me not want to have a baby at all I don't want to have to deal with her more. I don't want her watching my child. I don't want her making everything about her over the child. I feel so heartbroken over this, but I've put so much thought into it. Honestly, the only way I will have a child is if we move. Very very sad that I have to think that way. I think we'll take the next couple years to do a few more things, get straightened up, get ahead--then we'll re-visit in maybe 3 or 4 years.

This was a loaded an un-expected post. I just kept on saying what was on my mind, lol. I can't wait to go to work and explain to my manager why I didn't come in last night, lol. Luckily--she's a girl

 

[lilsqueakrr]

[color="teal]Holy moly! Where do I begin?

First of all, I HATE your MIL as well. She needs to grow up and stop trying to party. Honestly, if I were you I'd tell her **** off and throw a Christmas party to celebrate Christmas and you'll just show up. She needs to understand you and Dave's wants and needs not her da**ed own! Gosh! At least Dave agrees with you and argued back with her. I may have to come over and go all Jersey on here. Crazy lady. Rawr.
Oh and the Monster In Law reference? Lovved it! Literally LOL'ed!

Second, I'm so so sorry to hear about the baby thing. It's heartbreaking. I got a little tear for you. But I feel for you. You don't want to subject your child to all of this madness! Which I can't blame you. Is there any hope of you moving and did you discuss any of this with Dave? Maybe if he feels the same way, he'd be willing to move? Or hey, just tell her you moved that way she thinks your gone. ha.
There's a way to resolve this problem, it's just going to take time and effort. I mean hey, you may be lucky! After the wedding if you don't throw a party maybe she just won't talk to you anymore? Wouldn't that just be a blessing in disguise?

I'm sorry D. I really wish I was there for you so I could go kick some buttox! haha. But it's just gotta get to the point where you lull her out. That's where I'm at with my future MIL. Aoy. I can't wait to go to his house in a bit to hear what she has to say today! (she's been trying to act all buddy buddy on FB, *barf*) You know where to find me if you need me!![/color]
