tuesday confessions
it really bothers me when certain people beat me at words with friends.
Re: tuesday confessions
this is why i don't play with DH anymore...he does NOT know more words than me, but he plays all the two-letter words for big points. f*cker.

I started a blog but sucked at it so I quit!
I just used nicknames that H and I call each other (Susie Q and Gus) as the title of my now abandonded blog.
I confess I may be a tad too obsessed about my weight during pregnancy. I do not want to gain a lot of weight and I tend to freak out at the scale. I really need to get over this.

2nd confession:
The brides or moms-to-be from the last three showers I've attended didn't send thank-you notes and I'm totally judging them for it.
Related to that, I've noticed more and more people having guests address their own envelopes at the shower for the thank you notes. While I give them kudos for actually sending ty notes, I think that's tacky. If the person can go out and buy you a gift, you can take the time to address the freaking envelope. I know this isn't really considered rude and a lot of people do it but I would be embarrassed to ask guests to do this!

i've been to a baby shower that did this, and i thought it was kind of nice...but i would TOTALLY judge a bride for doing it.
and the mom didn't know about it, the hosts did it, and had bought thank you cards that matched all the shower decor...so i felt less judgey.

This is a pet peeve of mine. I would totally judge them for it. I'm huge on Thank You notes. It's the nice thing to do!

I confess I have still not received thank you notes from a friends wedding and shower I went to earlier this year.
Write Thank You's people! I showed up, bought you gifts you can send me a card telling me you liked it. (I know you did because you registered for it!)
The hostesses of my first shower printed out the addresses of everyone invited on labels so all I have to do is peel and stick. I will say, I greatly appreciate it. I am so freaking exhausted that writing thank yous has been a huge struggle for me. Anything to make it easier is appreciated.
I've also been asked at showers in the past to write my address on an envelop and I don't mind at all. It's so much easier for me to quickly write out my address than for the guest of honor to have to look it up.
To be brutally honest though, I absolutely hate thank you notes. I beg all my friends not to send me one after a shower/birhtday/etc. It's just such a waste of paper and stamps when all I'm going to do is trash it 10 seconds after I open it. Thank me in person at the end of the shower and we are good to go! I just don't need someone to take the time to write out 3 sentences to tell me how grateful they are.
I have never heard of this! I guess I'd be ok with it for a mom-to-be if her hosts did that behind her back, but not for a bridal shower. Also, I think if you have a baby shortly after your shower people don't expect the thank you so quickly. I feel guitly that I haven't started on Harlie's birthday party thank you notes yet.
