Whats up.

5th late night in a row, and the latest yet. I now definitely feel even more for Hammer and other accountants with this type of schedule around tax time, not fun at all.

2 days left on land.

hmmm. i think the dish is fried, so no directv until monday a.m. at the earliest.

i'm now stuck watching Las Munecas de la Mafia on cable...

no idea what the hell this is

"Muñecas" literally translates to "dolls".

Based on the mafia thing, I'm guessing the actual translation has something to do with prostitution.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #111: Filling in for the night shift

unfortunately, both our parents would shoot us if we did that or the Vegas thing...still, tempting...

We paid the whole thing ourselves and did what we wanted. My parents were divorced and my father decided he would pay for a small wedding (up to 30 people) and my father-in-law was in businees in city. Small wouldn't cut it. Kind of freeing, doing what you want. Also weddings weren't the big, ridiculous productions that they make them now so that made it easier. None of the stuff they have cleverly marketed into a requirement like save the date magnets etc.

It was gorgeous. Despite the nerve-wracking feelings! (who meets their boyfriend's entire family at his sister's wedding on their ... 5th? date?!)

I met Mr.'s whole side except for hie father at his mother's wake.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! silly saturday is here.

I am supposed to be going out to a plant sale with my Mum. We go every yr. it is raining and blowing. When I talked to her a few days ago she was the other side of miserable and sounded so 'excited' to be going. Hopefully she is in a better way or it is going to be a long morning.

Good morning... I watched a guy play the glass harp down in Old Town Alexandria last night... that was interesting.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #111: Filling in for the night shift

One of the dolls has a papi who flew a plane with drugs and was intercepted by the DEA (pilot spokeenglish with an Australian accent-go figure). Another dolls was smacked around by an older woman in a gold halter top who would show her nipples whenever she bent over to smack the tied up doll. Lot of walking and talking with two dolls, as well as the last doll and her male friend. Couple words cut out, so I didn't even get the chance to learn Spanish cuss words. (as if I would have known them if I heard them)

Been sitting in the clubhouse now for over an hour (in the uh, research library now-cell phones are frowned upon in the club, proper). I don't think I'm getting out today.... Radar shows the heavy stuff approaching. One guy has a short window with sox tickets for this afternoon. Just raining too hard to go out. Ugh.

see, we want to keep it somewhat small, but both our parents are talking relatives this, relatives that. Apparently, we have to invite certain aunts and uncles just because. Personally, I don't care if any of my relatives show up.

Good morning.

The boss & I paid for most of our wedding. I wanted to find a ski in-ski out chapel near Reno, she wanted a big wedding.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #111: Filling in for the night shift

My sister got married with just 2 witnesses and then had a huge reception for the family/friends by renting out a restaurant+patio for the night.

I thought that was a good way to go. Since the wedding is for the bride/groom and maybe their parents. The other people just want the booze and food!

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #111: Filling in for the night shift

Good Morning, Lodge!

I just slept for 11 hours. This working thing is going to get hard to get used to.

Mr. wore Black and I have our 1 year anniversary coming up on the 16th. We had a big wedding because his family is f-ing huge. His dad is 9 out of 11 kids. We had all his aunts and uncles and their spouses and their kids and their spouses. His dad's side alone was half the people there. The wedding it self was simple and right afterwards the party started in the same room. 2 kegs of beer and lots of appetizer foods. Both sets of parents helped pay for the wedding. We had a second reception in my home town 3 weeks later.

The best rule that we established was that if you wanted something that wasn't in the plan, you pay for it yourself. That got a lot of people to shut up.

Hellos Lodge

Thinking of going down for the doubleheader today. Not sure if I want to go to one or both games. If I want to go to the first one I'll have to decide quickly.

Do what you want. Those people are older than you. They will be dead long before you are so if they are ****ed their memory won't be as long as the ones you carry with you.

My in-laws got married in a small thing, didn't tell anyone and then had the big church wedding after with the reception to follow.

So here is basically what my new sofa looks like. Only differences would be that its a chocolate color and that it has different feet on it.

Thank you! I remember thinking you were going to be nervous. I was trying to find the least stressful place for you to sit, but in the end I guess it didn't matter too much. (And my aunts didn't make it, so there really wasn't that many new faces from my side). Plus I think it is a family tradition that the boys in the family have to introduce new girlfriend at my wedding. Jay introduced Jenna to the family at my first wedding. (So glad I don't have a third brother )

We kept ours as small as we could. Robbie has five siblings, all of whom have kids, and some of his nephews are old enough to have significant others of their own. I think in the end we had a guest list of just under 100, 60 of which accepted. Due to a blizzard, we ended up with only about 40 people actually at the wedding. (yes, I'm the idiot who insists on a wedding on the first day of winter in a blizzard)


LWB's rule is a great one! I also have two real pieces of advice for you both. One, it is YOUR wedding, not your parents' or your families'. Do what is meaningful to you both. Second, something will go wrong that day. Period. So prepare for it by being focused on what is really important that day, the two of you.

Oh, and if it does snow that day, borrow someone's four wheel drive vehicle. Don't try to drive your front wheel drive Civic with crappy 'all-weather' tires to the wedding. Really. Trust me.

We did something similar for our reception down here. We got married in NH and had a reception there for family and friends there. Then came back to NC and had a New Year's Eve party/wedding celebration at the restaurant here. This second party was a heck of a lot easier to plan and a LOT less expensive. We had some much fun that night that my friend who owns the restaurant decided to have a New Year's Eve party there again this year. I think we started a tradition.
