Re: Thursday Chit Chat
Bobbileigh - thanks sounds really cool, I'll have to find it and check it out!

You guys just let me know if you want me to make you some awesome sig art to show your buddy-hood.
Duh!
Well, maybe. Because I didn't know there were like, gifts involved. Now it's more intriguing.
Yes! On the Getting Pregnant Board you have a secret Nestie for SIX months. They send you gifts and cards the whole time. Cha-ching!
Well then in that case, Brianna, yes I'm KU.
Yes, yes I am.
But seriously, why would that girl make up all that crap? Are they trying to insinuate that it's her going on there and saying all that stuff?
Bio Good Times
I feel cheated.

Well, guess we know what you need to do now! Better go get to work on that tonight.
This is me and I know it. My two big things are IL's and work and I complain about them all the time on here but I know there are people that relate here and you guys know more than anyone else in my life so I'd rather do it here than with others. I can get it out, get feedback and move on. But I also feel I am doing something about it (looking for jobs, dealing with coworker issues-well trying to- I got complimented today on how I handle the trouble coworker). And yes, if you don't do anything to help the situation I don't exactly feel sorry for you.
Well unless it's like a lingerie party, or sex toy party or something, I didn't think you brought gifts to the bachelorette party....I thought you just showed up and bought the bride a drink or two and watched her get plastered. At least that's how it's worked at all the one's I've been to.
Mine was just a bunch of my girlfriends and I going out. Nothing big, no gifts, etc.
ETA: Jaymi, maybe ask the hostess if gifts are necessary?
Same. We went to dinner, went dancing and I got completely wasted on tons and tons of drinks I didn't pay for.
They are having a potluck at someone's house and then after the party they will be having a BBQ. And it may possibly be a bridal shower/bach party mix and they have no registry as they don't do that where they are from and they are kind of eloping in a sense.
Edit: I will ask the hostess so I don't have to worry about this!
Um. Ok, well in that case I have no freakin idea the etiquette on that. I would just straight up ask the hostess so you can be perfectly clear. "Is this a shower? A bach party? A bach party with gifts? A bach party and shower? Since she's not registered, what does she want?" Oh, so confusing.
So my wonderful boss got us a car to and from DFW for my trip with my sister, and dinner at the place we are going for her birthday (and some spa add-ons for me). I text my sister all excited and she calls me perturbed because now she has to call up the friend she got to take us to the airport and tell him he doesn't have to--apparently he had to ask off the morning from work. I'm sorry, but I fail to see how this is a bad thing.
She kind of put a damper on my excitement.

Just do it!
Aww, I'm sorry Stephie. That was really nice of your boss! Maybe she just feels bad that her friend took off work, and now he doesn't have to take y'all? I don't know, maybe she'll snap out of it and be excited again too!
Yeah - maybe she had to go through a lot of trouble to get a friend to take y'all, then had to be so, so nice when the friend said he would take off work - just to call him and say "never mind". It's probably a weird position for her.
However, that is so nice of your boss!
I am so lost on whatever happened on FB last night. I can't believe I missed the entire thing!
I am super excited about the Royal Wedding, and I say that loud and proud. I will be setting the DVR, then parking my butt on the couch tomorrow as soon as I get up and watching the whole thing. Or at least until I get tired of it.
Yesterday I got the schedule and travel itinerary for my interview next month, and it's a doozy! I get exhausted just looking at it.
Schedule and itinerary? Geez! They aren't messing around! I hope that means you're a very serious candidate!
I texted my sister and told her I'd just go by myself to the airport if she doesn't want to. So far no answer. I love my sister but she can be very self-absorbed. I mean, I could have asked my boss for a gift just for me, but I tried to ask for something we could both enjoy and she doesn't even acknowledge it. Instead she just calls to tell me how put out she is now.

Go look at my facebook wall post from Summer yesterday. The vibe of that post is exactly what was going on last night. LOL.
Did she have a "special" reason why she wanted a ride from that guy friend maybe?

I know I'm a finalist, but I don't know how many finalists there are. I fly out at 11am on a Tuesday, then the interview is 9-4 on Wednesday, then I'll arrive back at DFW at 11:49pm. Whew!
