Laboring Through with Our Magic Friends

[nibblesandbits]

Hey Nibbs.

How are you Jo? From what I can tell (still catching up) you're kinda down.

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

I am really getting excited too. I've been dreaming about this vacation since the wedding. And now it's almost here!

Yeah...there were some other things that happened at the wedding...like when we had the reception back here...he didn't want to be in the recieving line we had to have to greet the guests...b/c they didn't come down to the wedding and this was the first time we were seeing them. He didn't want to be in it so much that he showed up late. And I mean after the whole shindig got started. Also, he didn't want to be in pictures...he said, I'll only be in 1 picture...well, since my parents are photographers...that didn't fly. Various other things too...but those were the main things that put a sour taste in my mouth and while I try not to let that influence the way I think about him now...he keeps doing little things that irk me. (Like drinking the milk straight out of the jug last night. Needless to say, I didn't drink any more milk the rest of the trip. And his mom bought it for me, essentially.)

Oh, it's so great to have a new baby girl. We really didn't know Dana when Maggie was born...so this is like a whole cool thing to be a part of.

He sounds REALLY passive-aggressive. And while I can appreciate you trying to keep an open mind, I don't know how you can! Bless his heart, the milk thing would have killed me, even though I myself don't drink it. The message I'm getting is that he doesn't approve of the way you guys did the wedding thing...I guess what it comes down to is you both love the same person so y'all are stuck with each other!

Yeah. It's a bunch of things.

It could have part to do with the passive aggressive thing. And you're right...I don't think he was "comfortable" with the wedding...he was out of his element, in a foreign country. But still it was a vacation...and it was important to me and his son. It was our wedding and he should have had to understand that a little bit better and while he might not have liked it...he should have been the one to have to grin it and bear it...not me.

I can't wait to see how he's gonna react in January. His other son is getting married and this time he's going to have to wear a tux...not just a summery shirt and kakhis. I think I'm going to actually like watching him squirm. B/c I highly doubt my incoming sister in law is going to let him change clothes after the wedding. He's very set in his ways and very, very country. Maybe a bit too country.

Oh and the milk thing did disgust me. Especially since all I drink is milk and water. So...that essentially knocked out one of the things I was going to drink the rest of the weekend. Luckily, WHF's mom did scold him for drinking it out of the jug. But still, the damage had been done. And I wasn't going anywhere near that milk jug again. ick!

But, we do still love the same person, and that is why I put up with a lot of the shenanigans that I have to when I go to visit them. In that sense, I keep my mouth shut very tight b/c I know that it would cause a HUGE fight if I actually said something and I definitely don't want to do that.

Have a wonderful weekend, Connor! Where ya off to?

That question was phrased to me three days ago.
I am not me three days from ago.
If you want your original question answered, go back three days and ask again.

This was taken from the inside of the apartment. (George got in there somehow.)

Breaking and entering!
Yay!

Agreed.. With Connor..

Well, of course.

On what? Don't mke me read back!

I don't know either.
But I'll take it. :lookaroun

Sorry...my bad.

OhEmGee! Female Danny!
:lookaroun

Here for a few...have had THE most wretched time with the Internet since my little sister broke it on Saturday.

She was the one that did that?
Dang, Al Gore is angry with her...

So I kicked him in the a--.

:lookaroun

Yay!

 

[nibblesandbits]

Yeah. It's a bunch of things.

Oh Jo...I'm sorry.

But on the school front, I do agree with everyone else. While you might not like it...finishing school is important. I know that I'd kick myself now if I had stopped in my junior year. Yeah...it was tough, but once you get past Junior year...you know you are almost there. And you're almost there anyway.

I know you've mentioned about your school changing the curriculum on your program, but most schools do honor the curriculum of when you started...not if it changes. Like when I was at school, they changed the curriculum of the mass communications dept. (my major) while I was in school, but since I was under the 2001-2003 catalog, I didn't have to do what the 2004-2006 catalog asked for. I only had to do what I started doing. You really should look into that, b/c I bet you money that they would honor what you're already done. Otherwise, that's not fair and I would file a complaint.

But back to the main topic...you are so close to being done. And I know you want to be at Disney. But as the others have said, you never know what's going to happen in life. If I'd have known 5 years ago that I'd be married with a house of my own, I would have said, you're crazy. But life took me somewhere I didn't intend. I intended on finishing half of my sophomore year, going down to Disney, and then finishing up college, then maybe going back to Disney. As you can see, that's not where life took me, b/c I met WHF my second semester of Freshman year and my well laid plans had been changed. Granted this isn't exactly the same situation, but it does prove that things don't always go as you plan...and it's better to be prepared for when they don't then to kick yourself wishing you were prepared and knowing that you could have been.

Thanks Nibbs. It's just a whole bunch of things that are all happening now at the same time. Hopefully they will work out.

And on that note, I am off to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow (I am going to try to get tickets to a Phillies/Marlins game in Philly). Have a good evening everyone.

Love you Jo! Hope you get everything worked out. I know it will. :kiss:

 

[nibblesandbits]

Catching up:

OMG I just noticed that I won the water photography contest!

Yay Luke! Congrats!

 

[joanna71985]

Love you Jo! Hope you get everything worked out. I know it will. :kiss:

Aww, thanks Nibbs. Love you too! :kiss:

 

[joanna71985]

And OT (before I go) the bath pictures Bunny took of Anastasia are soooooo cute!

I admire your self restraint. Odd isn't it that we're the ones (and by we I suppose I mean daughters-in-law) who keep it shut? But it comes back to that stupid love thing...you're a great wife Nibbs. :kiss:

That was probably the complimentary mini-bar speaking.


Well, of course.

Hi Connor

:::sits on hands:::

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

Hey! What? Y'all coming to Philly?

 

[Connor002]

Hi Connor

:::sits on hands:::

Warming them up for something?

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

Warming them up for something?

I was thinking about pinching you but I restrained myself. No thanks needed.

 

[Connor002]

Y'all coming to Philly?

Ever notice how odd "Y'all" looks next to "Philly."
It's like something a Georgian Gangster might say.

 

[joanna71985]

Hey! What? Y'all coming to Philly?

(I know I said I was leaving:lol: ) My school is going to a baseball game in Philly, and I'm hoping to get a ticket to go. I want to see every stadium someday, and I only have...2 down.:lookaroun

 

[Connor002]

I was thinking about pinching you but I restrained myself. No thanks needed.

Like, the pedophilic aunt pinching of the cheeks or the neenerneenerneener type of pinch?

 

[nibblesandbits]

I admire your self restraint. Odd isn't it that we're the ones (and by we I suppose I mean daughters-in-law) who keep it shut? But it comes back to that stupid love thing...you're a great wife Nibbs.

Thanks Amy. I really try my hardest to get along with everyone. And if that makes me a little unhappy, but makes my husband happy, then I'm all for it. I can put up with it for a few days...although this time, being there for 3 really felt like a long time. Stupid love. :lol:

And by the way...hi Connor! :kiss:

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

Valid point.

(I know I said I was leaving:lol: ) My school is going to a baseball game in Philly, and I'm hoping to get a ticket to go. I want to see every stadium someday, and I only have...2 down.:lookaroun

Well, I hope you get to go! How many are there anyway? Feel free to answer after you've slept!
