43 = 1
I was missing 43 RSVP's the day before the deadline... I got 1 the last day. I"m gonna be a bitch if I have to call all 42 remaining people. On the upside, we finally talked to our minister. He initially wanted us to do pre-marriage counseling... yeah, we did that. It involved a 10 minute meeting where he handed me the 2 possible wedding ceremonies (for me to add or take away from) and him asking... how's work? If my marriage falls apart, we know who to blame it on, not world of warcraft, but the minister who failed to counsel us not to kill each other in the 1st year of marriage. So the shower at home this weekend. My aunt sent out invites to everyone but me and my mom (it was at my mom's house). She wrote in the RSVP info "your attendance is MANDATORY". ROFL. They all showed up. Toby peed on Mandy's foot (Mandy is my cousin and the minister's wife). My aunt Joyce showed up with handcuffs (for the kids). The 3rd time my cousin took her screaming 4 year old son outside to yell at him he yells out "not again!" Then the dog barked at the minister. I got lots of "dust catchers". Yay. | | Friday, September 21st, 2007 | | 7:12 pm |
43
Somehow I don't think I'm going to get 43 RSVP cards in the mailbox tomorrow. Missing 43 out of 105... I"m not freaking calling all those people! | | Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 | | 12:07 pm |
Yay
We've got a concrete driveway, patio and an AC unit. Woo. Now if we can gets steps, carpet and wood floors, and appliances, we are set. The dog needs a bath. I wanna go to Home Depot. I don't know why, but I"m sure they have something I want there. | | Friday, August 24th, 2007 | | 10:39 pm |
yay lights
rah our house has finished electrical outlets/lights. | | Wednesday, August 15th, 2007 | | 8:44 pm |
What the Hell is wrong with people?
My aunt missed my shower in Winston b/c she was at the beach. No problem. Apparently that side of my family (mom's side) got upset that they dropped the ball on shower throwing and my dad's side did it (they wanted to oh so badly). At any rate, I don't care. But the aunt that missed the shower decided I needed another one, so they are putting one together. 1. they are upset that I'm not inviting tons of people from home (they've all lost their mind) 2. they are doing it at mom's house since this was a huge issue 3. my aunt is freaking out about doing a cook out, she wants something different, but has no idea. To top it all off. She asked my mom if mom bought me place settings or just plates (apparently concerned I'd have a ton of plates and nothing else). They think I actually NEED stuff and I've forgotten to register for stuff (like an iron and can opener - got it, had one since I went to college). She told mom that she could buy towels for way cheaper than the ones on my registry. UH, I have cheap ones. DUDE. What in the hell am I going to do with a bunch of random stuff. I've already returned a toaster oven I didn't register for. I have a toaster oven and some random knives I have no clue where they came from. I don't know what to do with this stuff. | | Sunday, August 12th, 2007 | | 4:01 pm |
house update
Yay, Jay and I went by the house today. We have locks, finished trim and paint, cabinets and counters. Still no floors, I assume that is next. After that: appliances, light fixtures, faucets and stuff (I can't see those from the windows, they could be in), driveway, back porch and sod. They also have to put our AC unit in, but I think they'll wait until 2 days before the final inspection for that, vandals like to steal the copper from them. Looks nice. :-) | | Thursday, August 9th, 2007 | | 10:22 pm |
Fuck you Gov. Easley
It was 104 at 6pm today. I am NOT setting our thermostat to 78 or 80 just to please your skank arz. The stupid power company is gonna price gouge us and charge 200 bucks for power this month anyway because they can pass it off as the weather being hot, not them charging too much when the weather is hot, so why the hell not sleep in comfort? BASTARD. If the power goes out, then I guess my thermostat setting won't matter. (was charged 150 for a december power bill back in the day when I lived with Stacey in the apt and we weren't even in town that month and the thermostat wasn't set at hella hot on the cold days - they blamed everything but their stupid rate going up) | | Wednesday, August 8th, 2007 | | 8:06 pm |
My family is confusing
So I had a shower 2 weeks ago - 3 weeks ago, I can't remember. My dad's side invited my mom's family, they all came. Now they want to have their own party, so I've got to figure out how to fit that in... yay. I don't understand why. Work sucks, one of the 2 AC units at work is out, so the whole office is like 85 degrees. I hate sweating at work. Sleepy. Will sleep now. | | Tuesday, August 7th, 2007 | | 8:56 pm |
ugh
well i'm done with grad school i think. my thesis was approved, a day late. thanks to the thesis editor. you wanna know why??? i got it in on time actually on wednesday when it was due friday (since i was away from my computer friday i figured i'd get approved or edited by thursday NOT) it took her an extra day to tell me my header was missing a period and that a 2 line dedication needed double spacing. uh, that is why i get to graduate in DECEMBER not August. a fucking period. ........................................ ........................................ ... there bitch. our house has walls, and that pokey stuff on the ceiling, not the popcorn but the stuff that looks like stucco. i assume we'll get locks and cabinets soon. must go purchase a fridge. like i've got nothing better to do. sweet lord, someone asked me what i was doing 2 weeks from now, hell if i know, i'm doing good to make it through this week. i find it hillarious that the ONE address i'm missing is steve's. the best man. ROFL | | Sunday, July 1st, 2007 | | 8:12 pm |
Freaking out
This should prove to be quite a long vent. 1. My advisor is out of town until the 5th. We have a meeting that morning. My committee has to sign my title page of my thesis before I can even schedule a meeting with the editor, who has to be met with by the 6th or I don't graduate, AGAIN. The unreliable guy, yeah he's not signed it yet. Then after I meet with her (assuming I can make an appointment with her the day of the deadline) they can make any changes they want (or ask me to change it) between now and August. They are needy bitches, so all of my efforts to get this done before my wedding, so I wouldn't have to plan my wedding while doing this, yeah, totally foiled by captain dumb fuck and the needy retard gang. 2. Stupis ASS wedding photographer. - Backstory. I hired a tiny ass lady to be my wedding photographer, she had been in business for 15 years, had a good portfolio of work, worked out of her house. She gets re-married and pregnant. When our engagement pics were made the first of May she was clearly preggo and told me she'd hired an assistant for the day of to help her since she'd be tired from having a 2 month old. WE were supposed to get proofs the next week. A month later I call, they've finally got proofs and I go to meet with them. I'm greeted at the door, not by tiny pregnant lady, but by a huge old neandrothol man who informs me that my photographer has moved to SC with her husband and that he would be photographing my wedding. He's a goofball, I don't like him. Apparently he has not quite mastered the art of dragging and dropping things in windows either because it takes us an HOUR to pick out e-pics we like, most of the time sitting there staring at a single proof that I had said "no" to the second we saw it but instead we must ponder it for 5 minutes. Then it takes him and his assistant 20 minutes to locate the damn form to order my engagement pics with. I"m quoted 5 week delivery. July 10 for pictures made on May 2. Clearly a reasonable amount of time. So Jay asks the dude if he'll put our engagement pictures online for people to see (original photographer said they could do, it's part of our wedding package). He says it's difficult but he'll try (note, they are not up, he probably can't figure out how to do the ones for our wedding either, not that I want to see proofs on Christmas for our October wedding). During our conversation, he stands up to answer his cell, scratches his back and shows me at least 4 inches of baggy white undies. GROSS. Oh oh, and he asks me to check if I've actually paid them their payment for March because "I don't want to be out of business by your wedding gets her because people don't pay me". UGH I think about it after we leave and decide to check him out. No one has heard of him, his personal website has pictures of kids starving in Africa and ONE wedding photo of a 300 pound woman in a 1980's dress(and it's really hard to gauge how good a photo is when seeing them in person was likely scary). I e-mail and ask for references. I get an e-mail back a week later saying that he used to be a tv producer (not a wedding photographer) and that he was very good at doing things in a timely fashion, NOT. He sends me a scanned copy of a newsletter with two 1" square pictures of a single bride as his portfolio. Says he'll get a better one online in the next few days. I got that in an e-mail Friday (3 weeks after I asked for it). So I've hired a lawyer to ditch captain man panties. Now they call me, lawyer is out of town for the next week. Told me to tell them that I was terminating dude and that my attourney would contact them with a bill. UGH, now I have to deal with them, sort of. I have a new photographer, he's cheaper and gives more in his contract than the first person. Plus he apparently knows how to use a computer. Imagine that. 3. Our house, NO progress has been made in the last 2 weeks, we were told framing would happen 2 weeks ago, still none. We had to order flooring,cabinets and counters the week framing started, so we did it 2 weeks ago. 4k out of pocket in upgrades. I kinda wanted to see floors and walls going up. We are set to close on Sept 28, they are 2 weeks behind which puts us closing during our rehearsal dinner. Plus our interest rate is good until Sept 30, they are going up now too. 4. If I hear one more person make a suggestion on how I can do something in my wedding better I'm going to scream. NO I am not going to play ghetto booty music during my reception just so the young people can dance. NO I don't care what you think my wedding flowers should be. NO I don't give a rip what you think I should serve during my reception. NO NO NO. 5. the minister won't call me back, this is somewhat vital to getting married. 6. my wedding dress won't zip. close, but not all the way. I'm a stress eater, how well do you think this is going to end? 7. tons of little things aren't running smoothly or easily, I"m permanently running errands, like MANUALLY depositing my paycheck into a 2nd bank account because freaking work can't get my direct deposit running (a requirement for our mortgage and Jay's retarded ass boss won't do direct deposit, so mine HAS to work). I want to elope. | | Monday, June 18th, 2007 | | 8:57 pm |
So. Today. DRAMA. Joe (our cad tech) turned in a month's notice. Pimna (our mid level engineer) is out of town until July 2 and some biznotch at public works is mad about her project. Kim (new cad tech) will start on July 2, she no speak english good. Heidi (our admin) is apparently interested in being a cad tech and I get to train her. Lee, my crack whore client asked me to try to fit 6 condos onto a piece of land. I did, now he wants me to miraculously sprout a surveyors licence and sign it as a plat map. But when I told my boss that he wanted it signed, we asked our surveyor and he agreed it would involve way more work by a real honest to God surveyor. So we call back our crack whore client and he denies ever wanting the thing signed after we told him it would cost more money and tries to make me look insane. My boss knows Lee is insane so he believes me. Some evil whore at the public works commission had me work all day (except for when putting out the Lee fire) on a vicinity map for a one page encroachment document. It was off center. I discover the reason it was off center is because it was at the limits of the available base map, so I had to hunt a new map. Not to mention the water line was drawn in the wrong place (down the middle of a runway on pope air force base, uh no) and the place where the line was supposed to be (an abandoned railroad bed) was drawn as freaking Bragg Blvd - the biggest damn road in fayetteville. Bragg blvd was shown crossing the side street we were encroaching on - it NEVER crosses this road. So the morons in Fayetteville don't even know where their biggest road goes (it was a city map). So I went by the house. Jay thinks I'm insane. They've leveled the area for the garage, but haven't poured it. The next house down has rafters in the yard (our builder is building 4 in a row - we are #2) So we went into contract on Thursday. Our realtor had to list it that morning for us to buy it since they don't normally list until it is framed. So now there is a sign in front that says under contract. It made me happy. Johanna bought me my first gift off my registry for my birthday, my cake server for the wedding. It's so cute! | | Sunday, June 17th, 2007 | | 10:14 pm |
fun week
We signed a contract on a house on Thursday night. It's footings/crawlspace now. Will close on September 28th (so they say, but delays happen). Should be fun right before the wedding??? They were supposed to pour the garage floor Friday but it monsooned so I guess that's this week. Framing is supposed to come in this week meaning we have to go pick out floors/cabinets/counters since that's a 2-3 week delivery and that's how it fits the schedule. Gah. Got a new wedding photographer - old one involved much drama and a 60 year old man showing me his man panties. New dude rocks. I'll be so glad when this wedding stuff is over and we can enjoy our honeymoon and our house. Must diet again, dress won't zip (however I feel that this is directly related to the fact that everyone has been shoving birthday cake at my head). It's really close so I figure if it still won't zip in a week or 2 I"ll go on atkins since I lose like mad on it. Gonna try kicking the salt and working out a lot first. Planning a wedding should be happy. Buying a house should be happy, I need to try to be happier. Right now I"m a walking stress ball. Need to theraputically paint at Staceys I think. Current Mood:  nervous | | Thursday, June 14th, 2007 | | 7:25 pm |
We have our house under contract now. Earnest $... that sucked. To top it off, next week we have to pick floors and cabinets. Any upgrades are out of pocket expenses. Dang this sucker is a lot of money up front. | | Wednesday, June 13th, 2007 | | 9:43 pm |
Public Service Announcement
When on antibiotics, often it is best to have a snack with your pills. This fights off the nausea. It is VITAL to select this snack carefully. Yoplait PRO-Biotic yogurt not a good option. It was an all out biotic war in my stomach, probiotic yogurt and antibiotics. PAINFUL stomach cramps. | | Tuesday, June 5th, 2007 | | 9:23 pm |
Little things
The best thing happened to me today. I drove from Harris Teeter to Eckerds on Bingham without stopping at a light. THis is like 25 lights and at times can take 15-20 minutes to make the trip! I did it all within Justin Timberlake bringing Sexy Back. So I officially have cooties. Yay doxycycline. 3 weeks of nausia and headaches, but no Lymes disease when it's over so that's okay. :-( Jay's in Minnesota for work, I should be a good lil woman and clean up, but I'm sleepy and have a headache (see above). I almost had to shoot a Mexican last night. Our eaves/facia/whatever, the overhang on the roof rotted out 6 months ago (go rentals) and our landlord didn't fix it. So we have a new landlord, they were supposed to call before someone came by. Needless to say, they didn't and some random mexican guy rang my doorbell twice yesterday while I was barfing my brains out. Jay left me with a shotgun. I had serious thoughts... I came home from work today during lunch and he has the front of our house torn off, which is much better than him robbing the place, but dude, you were almost dead! CALL. Off to bed. | | Monday, May 28th, 2007 | | 9:21 pm |
puppy sneezes
Toby just blew boogers on Jay. It was kinda cute. I worked on MEMORIAL DAY. Adn of course, I work in downtown Fayetteville and they had a festival outside of my window. I'm watching Ms. Universe. This is retarded. I feel dumber. | | Monday, April 23rd, 2007 | | 10:36 pm |
Anytime is a good time.... for nappytime
Oh my gosh I"m so tired. Chris is over, he's kicking jay's ass at boxing on the wii. it's past 10 meaning Toby and I want to go to bed. But that makes me a bad hostess. Jay ashed his cigar on Toby's head earlier. Poor baby. Current Mood:  sleepy | | Monday, April 9th, 2007 | | 9:27 pm |
Blah
I feel like crap. I feel totally guilty for missing work even when I feel like crap. Dang allergies. I've managed to drug myself up enough that I've stopped coughing and sneezing. But randomly one eye just waters and waters. It's mildy annoying like one side of my head randomly decided to cry. Oh and the cute babies of the world are out to get me. They woo me with their gassy smiles, but I'm on to the babies. I will prevail. Current Mood:  sick | | Thursday, March 29th, 2007 | | 8:50 pm |
Crazy expensive weekend
The Corolla was dying, so I bought a new Accord this weekend. Yay car payment. So my car has a cd player, Jay and I went to circuit city to get me some cd's. He asked if they had a nintendo wii (no one does) and they said they were giving out vouchers at 9am sunday morning. So needless to say, we now own a wii. Zelda looks cool, although jay is cursing at it right now. Then we went to the travel agent and booked our honeymoon and paid for the airfare. Yay, 7 days in Jamaica. Seeing no Stacey online makes me wonder, is Peanut on his way? Dr. Retard and the Funshine gang heard my thesis defense last tuesday. I passed the oral, but they hate my paper, thanks to dr retard for NEVER getting me edits. Dr. Retard of course couldnt' meet with me after the defense to tell me what I needed to do, asked to schedule a meeting. So we did, 2 days later. I drive my ass to raleigh, listen to him for 5 minutes tell me something he could have said in an e-mail then drive back to work. Wasted 2 hours of vacation on that sorry asshole, well actually 12 that whole week. He said thursday he was going to let it rest 24 hours then outline what the committee wanted, that was 7 days ago. Sorry ASSHOLE. At any rate, I can't graduate in May, must wait until August. If he doesnt get me an outline I may quit altogether, I won't get extra pay for this, so I am struggling to find the POINT. |
