Re: OL Tuesday
Depending on the recipients, I'd either redo them or at the very least make sure to personally tell each person... For example, I'd rewrite & resend my aunt, because she's a stickler for that sort of thing, but my best bud? I'd probably just call her and explain. I also think that it's fair for you to write the thank you note as normal, and then add a PS about the tardiness of it being a shipping error. That way they don't think that you just didn't send them until now.
This blows. As much as I hate to say it because I know how much of a beating writing them was - I think you have to re-send.
Dear friend -
I'm so excited I got to meet your son yesterday, thanks for the baby fever!
Bio Good Times
Ok, so you girls are right. And after bursting into tears just now with my mom on the phone, I realize that I'm more emotionally spent than I was recognizing.
Chelsea's taking a mental health day. See you girls tomorrow.
Dear Brianna,
Oh my gosh, I would be FURIOUS if I had to write all my TY cards again. That was misery.
That being said, doesn't etiquette say that you have a year to do it?
-Me
Dear Nesties,
I'm going to a meeting at 11:30 that lasts the rest of the day today and all day tomorrow. Farewell!
-Sad Me
Dear sleep,
Where were you last night? I am so tired today. I kept waking up and just couldn't get comfortable. Let's do better tonight.
-tired me-
Dear DH,
I'm glad you are starting to think of names but please don't shoot down everything I suggest. I want us to both love the name.
-me-
Now go get Jack!! Have fun!
ETA - Dana - I was just wondering about you! How was the party? I see in your ticker it's a girl - congratulations!!!!
Leslie & Angela -
Ugh, I figured I need to just re-do. But I am so mad about it.
Tiffany -
Furious is an understatement. I am so annoyed. And the clincher? I have no idea where my book is where I wrote down who bought what... I honestly have no idea. And if I know DH, it was thrown away in the move. So, now I have to try and remember based on the guest list. YAY. (sarcasm)
Courtney -
I sent you a message on FB
Bio
Ok, so this is a little off the wall but...
What if you make a joke out of it and go take a picture at the pack and mail place with sad faces and then make a photo card that says something cute like "We are upset that they lost our thank you cards but your generosity was not lost on us. Thank you for attending our wedding and for your beautiful gift!"
I would love receiving that as a guest. Just sayin'.
ETA: Wording.
Dear Brianna, oh no that's terrible! I worked so hard personalizing each and every TY card--I would rather die than have had to redo them!
Dear Chelsea, enjoy your MHD and don't feel guilty--we all need one from time to time.
ETA: Leslie is a genius. That is all.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
Oh you are good. I think you're on to something.
Have I told you lately that I love you?

Dear Crazy Seeing my egg drop lady,
Wow, just wow.
Dear Awesome running a marathon at 9 months pregnant lady,
You rock. Even more so, your husband attempted to runt he marathon and couldn't finish due to a knee injury. Now you can tease him for the rest of your life.
Dear DH,
It is not Flip's fault that you forgot your wallet and didn't have an ID, so they wouldn't let you in. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at yourself. Boycotting them is a little extreme, and really affects my social drinking after kickball. -kthx
Dear Nesties,
DH and I leave for Chicago tomorrow! We have a wedding there on Saturday, but decided to take 2 days off so we could go early and play. Yay! However, I haven't planned any details besides flight and hotels and I'm starting to go a little batty. I usually have a VERY detailed itinerary for our trips. Eek!

Thanks. The party was fun. We had a good turn out and everyone was so happy with the results, well except DH. He really wanted a boy. He had a lot to deal with that night and we were with friends and family. He is on board now and we are talking names but we just can't seem to agree. I think he is still a little sad it's not a boy. We did buy a little pink bib at Target the other day and it was his idea so I know he's excited I think the shock needs to wear off.
Bring on the bows and ruffles. My mom and sisters are so excited and going overboard already. I don't think we will ever have to buy anything for this little one. My sister already told her bf that any extra money she has will be going to buy cute baby stuff and that she is taking a week off after she is born and moving in with me lol. I'm excited and can't wait to start decorating and all that fun stuff.
I would probably mail one to the pack and mail place too but I'm just passive agressive like that. Haha!
The manager acted shocked that I would suggest they lost them. I asked him what other explanation he could come up with for NOT A SINGLE PERSON receiving the cards. He said "I am not the USPS, take it up with them."
I told them to change their name to just "Pack" because the "and Ship" part... they're doing it wrong.
I could kick them. Really hard.

Best.Idea.EVER!
Brianna, That really blows about the cards. I would be so upset. But I think you should do Leslie's idea! Easy enough and guests would get a kick out of it.

Brianna- LOL at what you told the person at the store! Our TY cards were postcards of NY that we sent from NYC. We had a few claim they never received their TY cards and since they were on DH's side and he didn't give a flip, I just let it go. I do like Leslie's idea, though!
I hope that he dealt with it in less than a second and went on to celebrate this happy time for you both. Please remind him that there are people that struggle daily with TTC issues and he is beyond blessed to have not only one but two healthy, beautiful daughters... and a wife that doesn't punch him square in the nose sometimes.
Bio
Ditto! I would also like to add that if you are the person I think you are, you are the sole reason why I changed my phone number last time.
Dear DH-
Yes the house may reek of coffee when you come home but I decided to make an iced coffee because I could not go to Starbucks like I wanted. Hopefully the aroma of canning takes over so it will go unnoticed.
Dear people at work-
I seriously hope you are in a much better mood when I get back. Just because you are miserable doesn't mean you need to make everyone join you. I also enjoyed the fact that by trying to get me in trouble, you just got yourself in trouble.
Dear Brianna, that is terrible! I'm so sorry that happened! I love Leslie's idea for sure!
Dear Nesties, I had a great time in Pennsylvania! Yall were so right...it was beautiful there. I think I went at the best time of year when all the leaves are starting to change colors. We just don't get to experience fall here in TX. That being said, I think my mind is made up and we are going to move after the first of the year hopefully.
He was good while family was there. After they left and it was just his friends and a few of mine he was a little less but he was still good. It did help that my sister and BIL that can't have kids and have had to adopt 2 were there because he does agree 100% that as long as she happy and healthy. He had a lot of hopes and dreams already for the boy that he thought we'd have so it was just a shock. And believe me the punching him in the nose sounds like a good idea a lot of the time. He was great Sunday and yesterday about it and was telling me today we needed to start getting the room ready for his "new princess" so like I said I think it was just more shock and not so much anything else. He did say if we ever decide to have another one that we won't be doing a gender reveal party.
Yay! So glad you liked it, and will get to live with YH full time soon!!!

Yeah, I know hindsight is 20/20, but if he had his heart set on it going a certain way and then had to hide his disappointment, then this probably wasn't the best idea.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
Chelsea,
Family drama is so hard

P.S. My SIL is a real winner. She is three months along and was bragging she lost 6 pounds in her pregnancy. I've never had a child, but I don't think that is healthy.

I am on lunch, and cruising the "hot toys" for 2011. And... just... no.

Dear Courtney,
Creepers are creepy.
Dear Level One Students,
You make me want to pull my hair out.
Dear Brianna,
I'm sure that Vistaprint would love to help you out with that! That really bites that none of your cards got sent out.
Say WHAT?
