Let it out Wednesday

I forgot this last week :0( Vent, cry, applaud, whatever you want... just let it out!

JK Rowling- I know you said you'd never write another Harry Potter, but I"m seriously mourning the end of the series. Can you throw us a bone here?

Boss lady- Youve been wearing me slick lately with all of your crazy "needs", I'm going to need to you to pull it together. And.Fast.

DH- I love you dearly, youre my best friend. I am so proud of you for going to ste school.

K & S- thank you for being such great friends to me. You guys are really  super fantastic :0)

Re: Let it out Wednesday

  • I don't really have anything to let out right now.  I might later though.  

     

    You are welcome!  You are pretty fantastic yourself!  :)

     

     

  • Dear Work- I hate you and I don't want to be your friend anymore.Dear MIL- please stop asking how much people have given us as gifts. It's inappropriate and none of your beeswax!That is all for today:)

     I completely agree with you on both of these..my MIL did the same thing. 

     To start grad school or to wait? 

  • Dear work -- I know I used to always complain about not having enough to do, but this is getting ridiculous!!

    I have 4 HUGE projects that are due in 3 weeks and I'm on vacation next week. I have no idea how they are all going to get done, because I'M THE ONLY VIDEO PERSON HERE. Ugh.

    Dear FI -- I love you like crazy, but no, I'm not going to let you take up every single wall in the house. I would like the OPTION to put up wedding pictures once we get them. This is why I told you to stop buying things to put on the wall and getting everything custom framed.

    He sent me a sweet email this morning apologizing for the bickering about the wall hanging stuff, and saying that it would all work out. It will work out, and I can't wait to get the house, but I am really bummed that we have so much nice stuff to put up on the walls and not enough walls to show it all off. So my compromise is our two nicest animation art pieces can go in the living room, the next two nicest in the computer room, and then the rest in either the guest bedroom or the garage. I made a no animation art rule for the kitchen, dining room, or bedroom.  That's not crazy, is it? I mean, the animation art is awesome, and I'm totally guilty of getting him addicted because it was my collection first, and now it's both of us. But I just don't want cartoons all over the house. 

    I only have two pieces of animation art that I've bought, and one isn't even here yet. He has 7, and most of them are cheap. :( I kept saying quality over quantity but that never really registered. 

     

  • Dad & stepmom: be nice to me, im doin the best i can & i cant please everyone! MOH sister: i love you dearly but please stop stressing over the bach party plans saturday, goin out to seattle doesnt have to be so complicated! FI: please get on it & get our patio contractors hired & please help me with WR ish. Its not fair that you get to just show up & get drunk at the wedding!
  • I would also like to add that it annoys me that some people didnt give us cards. I by no means expected any gifts or money or anything and was astounded at how many people did give us gifts, but I feel like people who didn't give gifts didn't even give cards to say congrats. I understand it was pricey to come to the wedding, but really a card is 3 bucks. I am a huge card person and it annoyed me.

    I had TONS of people come to the AHR and nothing...at...all...um you drove, is it that hard to pick up a card on the way?!?

    F you teeth....and f you to my half numb face.  I decided to get the shot after all because he gave me numbing stuff before the shot so I wouldn't feel it.  It wasn't as bad as expected...but still f you.

    F you to my "family" who jacked me around on my 25th bday. Still hurt, and no, I won't forget it for a bit. Selfish.

    DH, thank you for making an effort to communicate better.  Next, we work on remembering our convos together.  Thank you for getting chewy fixed, it really has helped our relationship not to mention our house. LOVE you!

    Brandi, youre funtastic :)

  • Don't even get me started on this.  I mean even some of my "good" friends didn't send even a card.  And then we had a lot of friends that didn't give us anything.  I was honestly pretty surprised considering Matt has actually been GM's for some of these people!  Honestly I feel like we've gotten more from people not invited to our wedding. 
  • Dear Bossman...I know that you are new to your position and all but that excuse only gets you so far. I am not FIs supervisor so don't tell me to tell him when he can take breaks. Also the not paying attention to what I am saying and then asking me to repeat it because you actually admit that your not listening is starting to get on my nerves big time. (The list goes on but I will end here for now). Dear TA....You're fired. FI & I saw your boss in the grocery store and we are using her now. Thanks for not getting back to us in a timely manner and blaming it on other brides. Dear Belly Fat....Please go away. I don't want around anymore.

  • Ugh, yes. The card thing. Also a source of disappointment for me. On one hand, I was blown away by some people's generosity, and really surprised by the absence of even a card from others. Or a congratulations. A FB message. Anything!

     

    I have a big let it out Wednesday......but I just can't share it here! Damn, I wish this board could be private sometimes!

    Agreed 100%. Some people were amazingly generous and I was shocked, but some people (my DAD and sisters included!) didn't have the decency to send a card to say congrats. We are still getting stuff in the mail so I am holding out, but really? So hard to buy a card, there was a cvs literally a block from where our reception was. Grr... Glad to see I wasn't the only one disappointed!
