How are you doing that buffet style???

 

[figment fan21]

buffet is the only way you can have a meal at the attic. They dont do plated meals there. I've heard from lurkyloo and the other girls that they are VERY accomodating and will make your buffet into anything you want.

I guess we haven't come up with a solution to the whole disney wedding thing. DF is still stuck on the whole money thing. I'm so tired of this. It doesn't matter what I say, propose planning...any of it.
This is ridiculous!

Awww, Hang in there ...maybe give him a little time, he could just be having a bad week or maybe it's a little too much wedding talk for him. I know it's hard but maybe just focus on you two for a little and then when he's calmed down about it you can bring up the wedding plans again. You still have a lot of time before you can book anything, so if it takes him some time to come around it'll still be okay.

 

[figment fan21]

I agree with Pez. Just let him be as far as the wedding goes. You and I can't book until feb/march of next year anyway so you wont be behind or anything if you leave the issue alone for now. Do i think thats right?... NO! but for right now it seems neccessary.

There are days where we are all alittle uncertain about having disney weddings, atleast I am... i mean its a hike for people, its not the "norm", ect... so maybe he is just having an uncertain week and needs time to think it through. We're all here so plan with us! Leave him out of it... i mean what do the grooms know about wedding planning anyway?! lol

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Thanks Girls.
I'm dog sitting for the next 11 days. ($) So, I won't even be home. (No worries...I will have an internet connection! )
This is just so ridiculous. And when I say "I know someone is leaning on your about this." He doesn't deny it.
*sigh*

...So, I call DF this AM to just say hi. I don't know what I was expecting...but just to say hi. He said last week when we had this fight I didn't talk to him for days...So, I guess I was trying to be nice...I don't know. Anyway. His ring comes in today. He says, "As far as this wedding thing goes-just do what you need to do and we will figure it out." He also said that if we keep fighting about it we will destroy the marriage before it even starts.
I told him we will make it work. If I got rid of the Rolls and one of the Rodents we should be ok.

I'm gonna put stuff on ebay tonight too. I know that I was going to do that on Sunday-but it kind of got away from me. Etsy stuff will have to go up. I have 2 jewelry sets (earrings & bracelet) as well as another bracelet made and some cards done. The least I can do is put some stuff up and see how/if it sells.

I am moving forward with caution. I am doing my best to keep costs down. Maybe for our first anniversary or 5th or 10th he can find me a Rolls to ride in. I think remembering that it isn't air conditioned well-that is enough for me to nix it. Neither one of us are super huge fans of a lot of heat. Especially car heat. So, I'll deal with limo pictures. It's included. No reason to push it.

As for the Rodents (AKA Mickey & Minnie) if we can allot for one then we should be ok. It would be enough Mouse for me. If I can get the $ then maybe I'll have Minnie as well...but at least the Main Mouse.

Might have to see if I can re-negotiate my photo contract. I have Misty for 6 hours right now. Has anyone ever tried to reschedule for less? Or would I loose my deposit and have to re-book? If not there is still enough $ for the contract we have now. I just have to figure that out. And it doesn't need to be done right now.
(which is good b/c it is day 2 of the new job)

Don't know what will happen with the "reception." Might not happen at all. Who knows at this point. DF said he didn't want to do a DP b/c "it just sounded expensive." In the scheme of things $500 doesn't sound too bad to me...but we will have to see what we can raise/save for/etc.

Baby steps. I don't know what made him say all of this. I'm afraid he'll take it back-which he has never done before and gives me no reason to believe that he will do it now...I'm just cautious. Yes, this is about marrying him. It is only about us. But, I still want that one day.

This saga may have ended. (ok just a little happy dance) but I will proceed with caution...

I'm glad things are starting to turn around. I'm sure that you will still have the most magical day ever!!

We will see...that is for certain...

On a different note...I have 3 items up in my store for Etsy...We will see what happens! Fingers crossed!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Ok 3 items up on Etsy...2 items up on Ebay. I did my Sunshine rewards for the day (I do those before I go to work) That doesn't accumulate as quickly as I would like-but I haven't bought a lot online either.

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Oh My! I've had one thing sell on ebay already. I didn't think that things would go that quickly, but it gives me hope that we will have some extra money and that it will loosen things up a bit for travel expenses. My motto is "Just keep selling. Just keep selling..."

Another thing...DF's ring came in yesterday He loves it! It looks great. I would highly suggest Boone Rings! I will post a pic soon!

 

[pezaddict231]

Yay for your first sale! Just take things one day at a time. It'll all work out in the end.

 

[MainStMandy]

I want to see what you have on Etsy!! If you don't want to post it here, can you PM me your seller name?

I'm right there with you. It seems like nothing is going my way as far as a wedding date. As soon as I get excited about one something forces me to change it! ARGH!!

Lots of good vibes for you!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Thanks Karen!

Happy Sunday!

It has been an interesting week. I started my new job. It has been interesting. It is only temporary right now with the possibility of being permanent. -Which I won't know until October or November. Right now it's work. So, I can't ask for much more.

At the end of last week I started dog sitting. This dog is such a doll! I have been telling DF for weeks leading up to it that I would be dog sitting. On Wednesday I told him that I would be gone for 11 days. He says "Well you didn't say that before." How he said it was very sweet. Kind of with a sadness in his voice that tugs at your heart strings. I explained that it would help pay for our travel expenses and he just dropped the conversation. I see this as a good sign.

However, I have to tell you...I miss him bunches. I'm dog sitting for 11 days. Work has kept him busy for a month and he is finally getting some down time...We met last night for dinner. It was fun to have a date night. We also are meeting today for a date. It will be an early night b/c I have to work at 6AM tomorrow... Which sucks b/c I have to get up at 4AM to get there on time... Oh well...another dollar earned is another dollar for the wedding.

Also, DF's birthday is coming up...and I am at a total loss as to what to get him. He isn't much help either. Silly boy! Oh well. I'll find something....Soon...I...Hope...

Ok off to finish the laundry <-I finally got to use that smiley!

Have a relaxing Sunday!

 

[figment fan21]

hahaha I'm doing laundry too!!!

I have to be in work at 6:30am everyday so i know how much it stinks to have to be up around 4-4:30... it doesn't get any easier either!

I'm glad you and DF are having fun going some dates together and that you're having fun do sitting, i'll have to hire you to come watch my two when we are in disney for the wedding!

Glad you're having a nice sunday hun!

 

[MainStMandy]

Aww yay for date nights We were supposed to have one last night but I ended up working...we ordered in.
And I'm doing laundry too!!
