Did I also mention said wedding is in MICHIGAN? And that Joe is in it too?

That sounds lovely actually.

Consider yourself pencilled-in (but really dark pencil, the kind that gets smeary if you try to erase it).

Aimee, you seem to be handling this beautifully. I'm full of admiration. (This being the wedding crap, rather than finances crap. Not that you're not coping there too, I just think you'll require a bit less grace and a bit more ass-kickage). Make Joe get you an ice cream or something tonight.

Thanks, guys. For the support and the listening. And as for ice cream, I've been comnfort eating all day so I'm gonna eat well tonight and start over in the morning.

Yay, Re-Set! Or Re-Boot! Or Something!

Aimee, I'm really sorry. You so don't need this right now.

{{{GC}}}} much ease-ma to your grandmother.

I was talking to my aunt on Saturday and her SiL was threatening her FiL with a feeding tube because the poor old man has no appetite and can't eat. She was telling him, "if you don't eat, we're going to have to stick a feeding tube in you." Bleh.

Aimee, I hope that this wedding/shower is at least fun for you. The headaches and expense you've incurred are beyond the pale. If it gets any worse, I strongly support the nuclear "get bent" option.

Christopher wanted to go to a local Italian cafe tonight for dinner. Even though I *knew* said bistro is a bit pricey and fancy for taking a toddler, I agreed because it's closer than Olive Garden and has much better pasta. Of course, O was not very cooperative and I got the sense that the guy at the next table drinking the $9 glass of scotch and eating his $7 salad before the $15 plate of pasta didn't actually appreciate the baby's loud antics. We got our entrees packed up to go. It was for the best, really. And the nice waitress did give us some extra pieces of their nummy bread.

Just dropping by to say...

Aimee, what a horrible day you have had. I hope things smooth out quickly for you.

ImeN, I'm at my parents house in New Mexico. I love the weather here so much - cool at night, warm during the day and NO humidity. All my stuff is put away. Ellie's stuff is all in a giant pile in her Pack n Play and will be put away tomorrow.

I'm way behind in both Bitches and Natter due to the two days of driving. ~ma to those who need it and hello to everyone else.

I love that, as I'm wandering around the board, I keep running across Fay posts where she gives house points. It makes me happy.

{{GC}} ease-ma to your grandmother.

{{Aimee}} much of the ~ma of all sorts and kinds to you. I hope money things stop trying to kick you in the head.

{{Cass}} back-ma for you, and cobra-ma for the company.
