FFF - lets give it a shot
I don't really have anything juicy, but maybe someone else does.
I have this friend who I really enjoy, but she is such a rambler. She's one of those friends who you can't call unless you have an hour AND you can't get a word in edgewise. There are so many insignificant details in her stories that you just glaze over. There - I'm a bad friend.
Re: FFF - lets give it a shot
Mine isn't really a flame, so you're welcome to flame me for not following FFF policy.
DH just told me today that his cousin and wife are divorcing (amicably I guess). They were married 9/6/08. Not even a year! The judgy part of me wonders why people get married if their relationship isn't strong enough to last one freaking year. Also, as a newlywed, I hate hearing about divorces - like it's just inevitable.

A friend of mine recently broke up w/ Pat #1.
A week after they broke up, she met Pat #2. It's been two months, and they are talking about getting married.
She's obsessed w/ Pat #2. She talks as, we did this, and we did that. She ditches girls night.
During girls night this week, (where she ditched us), we saw Pat #1 out at the bar w/ a new girl. We told our friend, and she was devistated.
Don't talk marriage w/ rebound guy! It's annoying.
Not sure if this counts, but since I don't want to be flamed about this:
I mailed out my TY cards today. Hey, at least I made the 3-month cut off!
my husband really irritates me when he alludes to the fact that he thinks that because I have a "desk job" that I should not be every bit as exhausted as he is when I get home after a long day. Usually gets me all fired up for a few seconds... then he flashes his cute smile at me and the irritation melts away, LOL. I'm afraid thats all I have for today folks!
I need to be flamed, I deserve it. Ready?...
I've written out 5 Thank You cards and haven't even addressed or mailed them.
There. I admitted it. Make me feel bad so I'll make some time to get these done!
The story above reminded me of this one...
I have a friend who has been "dating" a guy with 4 kids who is the process of getting a divorce for almost 2 years. When they started sleeping together he was still living with his wife and his youngest kid was less than a year old. We all told her she was dumb and this was wrong and she was going to get hurt... to no avail. She let him move in with her. After almost a year he finally filed for divorce - his wife found out about my friend and hired a PI so the guy has to move out of my friend's house. He's living with one of his friend's but they are still dating. Its been almost a year since the divorce was filed and its still not final. They talk about marriage all the time.
They can't be apart for 5 minutes without constant texting. We all went to Baltimore to visit another friend and they were sitting separated in the car (one in the front seat, one in the back seat) and they texted the entire time. At my bachelorette party, she spent the entire 2 hours we were at the piano bar texting because he was afraid she would cheat on him.
It's the most annoying relationship I have ever witnessed and I have no doubt it will end badly - I still suspect the guy hasnt even really filed divorce papers. Thing is he is actually a nice guy, and I realize that people make mistakes (he got married at 20 because they got k/u) but he still had 3 other kids with her and stayed for 10 years. I just want to tell my friend how stupid she is being every time I talk to her but I can't because then she will stop talking to me. I've been friends with her for so long, and I know she is going to need someone when this all blows up.

Married
I have 15 left to do and am dragging my feet. In my defense, I'm writing really personalized messages about them being at the wedding and how thoughtful their gift is for x reason. I can get them done before the 3 month mark too, though.

Married
I'm a bad, judgemental friend. There, I said it.
My best friend got married last summer. She met "John" in March of 2007 while she was interviewing with him for a potential job. She ended up sleeping with him that night and suprise suprise, got the job. They got engaged in December 2007, then married in July 2008.
I can't stand this guy and her marriage has really strained our friendship. He's 40, she's 25. He has 2 kids from a previous marriage that she's closer in age to than she is to him. He quit his job last May and hasn't even looked for a job since then, saying he prefers to be a stay at home dad (he doesn't even have custody of the kids, they're in TX, we're all in CO). She doesn't want to be the only one working, but he refuses to look for a job. He's over $8,000 behind on his child support payments, is paying for his 2nd DUI in 2 years and he's always so obnoxious whenever I'm around him.
She can't ever go out without him, so we very rarely see eachother anymore - I haven't even seen her since my wedding! And all she ever does is bittch about money and how they're so broke, yet they are always going to concerts and sports games and bars.. It's driving me nuts and I feel horrible, but I'm at the point where I feel like just letting the 'friendship' dissolve... Ugh!
I few of my girlfriends from back home are having a little get together tonight at one of the girl's apartments. The said girl whos house it is, is one of the people who didn't give us a wedding present and I sure as shiitt didn't write her a thank you. What I find funny is that she's the type of person who will send you a card on your bday out of the blue, but she didn't even get us one for the wedding.
She didn't send in her RSVP in till the day before I needed to have my final numbers (2 weeks after they were due) and was ignoring all attempt of getting a hold of her. Finally she admitted to me she had a softball tourney and she would be late to the wedding, so not to save her a seat, or assume she was getting a dinner. Low and behold, her softball touney was canceled and she showed up to the wedding. Luckily i had a couple no shows and she got a meal anyway.
I am praying that somehow wedding gifts/thank yous up in conversation so she feels like an azzhole. Another girl is getting married, so the likelihood of this happening is pretty good.
Include me in the delayed TY note club. I've done about 10 of 120. But in my defense, they involve pics and we did not receive until the 1st week of Aug.
Also, we casually mentioned to MIL that BIL and his FI had an engagement party last weekend knowing that it would start shiit because they didn't invite her. I just think it's really shiity to not invite his mom when they all supposedly get along. But it's a really good example of who she is and how she is trying to push his family out of the picture.
And I think BIL's FI is the most pathetic thing I have ever seen because she decided to start wearing a cheapazz $9.99 ring with her e ring because she can't wait for the wedding band in 6 months. Seriously, you're 22 and you have a 9 month engagement. But since everyone else in the family is now married, I guess you have to pretend to be too.
I think Shag would have given you her copy, except for the whole fire incident.
Does this mean possible KB babies soon?

Quite the opposite. I'd simply like to be a little more educated about my own cycles. Furthermore, I solemnly swear never to share details regarding my bodily fluids.
