-I’m exhausted. Just exhausted.
-I spilled an ENTIRE cup of coffee on the carpet this morning. It’s like I forgot I was holding it and it went everywhere. I was late to work because I had to treat the carpet and sop up what I could. I have no caffeine in my system and I am pissy.
-Scott has become another person, and not for the better. I don’t know what the fuck is going on.
-I hung out w/ a few of my friends last night. One of them just got divorced and he is really bitter. I feel so bad for him because he’s one of the nicest and most “together” people I know. He didn’t deserve that.
+Last night of class is tonight.
+We’ve been getting presents in the mail almost every other day.
-I put in the order for flowers yesterday afternoon and it was more than we had budgeted. Scott was mad about it and took it out me. Nice.
+ Even still, we’re getting a bouquet, 6 boutenneires, and 4 corsages for less than $250.
-: 5
+: 3
I hope things improve for me.
maybe you can find someone with a lower-end flute that wants a higher end and you can trade for theirs and cash. That’d be an easier deal to get, I would think. It’d be easier on whomever’s pocket book is handing out the dough.

If it is any consolation, Aishah and I had a pretty bad time of it about a week before we were married.
A lot of stress amounted to a lot of miscommunication and feelings hurt on both sides.
We pushed the wedding back from Sunday until Thursday so we could check ourselves more.
Once we sat down and had a serious talk about all the stuff that was going on and calmly talked through the feelings on both sides and made sincere apologies then it was all good. We forgave each other, but more importantly, we forgave ourselves.
I sincerely hope that you guys can do the same and come to a mutual happy place.
Thanks for the advice, Papa Hushdawg. I think that part of the problem is that for the last 3 weeks, we haven’t had TIME for a talk (my fault mostly). Class ends tonight, so I think we will be discussing this very soon.
Awww, li’l sis, it’s no problem.
I’m sure it’ll all come out OK.
Y’all love each other and have respect for one another, so I’m sure you can work through this bump in the road.
I’m sorry that you (and Scott!) are so stressed about things right now. Obviously I’m not a part of your day to day relationship, but I’m sure this is all very situational and that once you guys get a chance to actually sit down and communicate, everything will be fine.
I think that’s a great deal on the flowers, by the way! Some things are just better left on the “not DIY” list 🙂
It is definitely situational, but it’s hard to really deal with it when I’m literally gone 7:30 am-9 pm every day. I think once I’m in a better mood, things will be easier. Or, at least they’ll seem that way.
Yeah, it’s a great deal on flowers. My prom bouquet cost around $60 and that was nearly 10 years ago (oh, lord), so for a wedding bouquet to be about $25 more than that (plus all of the corsages and bouts) is a steal. Not to mention the difference between small town and big city prices. As much as I would have loved to do my own flowers, I know deep down that I’ll have neither the time nor the concentration to do them.
I can’t wait for you to see them! I will let you know more about Friday night plans in a week or so!
I’m a pro at buying prom corsages; I got the best deals and the most vibrant stuff.
Of course, I should be a pro… I went to 8 proms and 4 formal dances, not counting the debutaunte balls…
Men pay attention:
The one thing that I always learned was to go into the florist’s and buy everything from one florist here and there. I would go and buy roses and crysanthumums and carnations and random small boquets for EVERY occasion instead of cheaping out at the grocery store (I mean really, you end up spending $2-3 more at an actual florist).
So at the end of the year you’ve gone to the florist 20+ times and all the women in your life are super happy.
So when it comes time for that extra special boquet, you go back to the florist and they pull out all the stops for you, include color sprays and rhinestones and all sorts of things at no extra charge.
It’s kinda like having a regular restraunt and getting free desserts just for being a good customer.
