Ugh!

January 18, 2006 · 1 Comment

I just got an email today from two of the bridesmaids of the April 22nd wedding informing the friends of the bride that her bachelorette party is on the weekend that they were planning. I have a family birthday that weekend so of course it wasn’t the ideal date for me, but I am just one person. I am almost positive that my sister will understand, espically seeing this particular bride was my maid-of-honor and is a great friend of mine. I pretty much know which event I am going to attemd but I am once again finding myself torn. Family is super important to me and I don’t get to see them that often so I take any chance to go to North Carolina to see them. But, this friend is also super important to me and I take any chance to see her because we are both so busy. Ugh, why can’t people just work around my schedule *wink wink*.

Speaking of birthdays! My brother and brother-in-law’s (on my side) birthdays are this weekend, yes they have the same birthday. I ordered my brother-in-law’s present online this past Sunday and it has yet to ship. When I ordered it and as we speak the website says that it is in stock but when I check the order status it says that it is on back order. I sent an email to the company to see what was going on and of course I haven’t heard from them. I am going to give them a call once I get done complaining about them on here. So needless to say it probably won’t arrive by tomorrow (I am leaving for NC from work on Friday) and I won’t have a gift for him. I will have to tell him that I will ship it to him once I receive it, unless I can get them to change the shipping address to his address. I just feel like such a chum that I won’t actually have the gift there for his birthday, I doubt that he will care, but still.

Things in Three

December 5, 2005 · 1 Comment

In college when someone got pregnant everyone always said that pregnancy comes in threes. A friend of mine from college is pregnant and due in April, so that is one. My mother-in-law is pregnant (with her eleventh) and due in May, so that is two. I have been waiting for the third and praying it wouldn’t be me, not that I don’t want children just not right now. My prayer has been answered, I found my third pregnancy this weekend. A good friend of mine, also from college, is due in July. She got married seven, count them, seven days before I did. Congratulations to all three of you and lets see if we can make it a trio of boys. It is up to the person due in July to complete that trio.
