Sorry, I wasn''t sure if your statement was in reference to another thread. I don''t think you''re weird at all. I don''t subscribe to social norms and expectations for the most part. I believe everyone has a right to happiness and if having a wedding, whether it''s your first or fifth, makes you happy then you should go for it. You also have Reece and your family (you FI and lil one) to take into consideration. The wedding in this case isn''t just about you and FI, it''s a symbol of melding your family together into one. It''s about FI becoming Reece''s stepdad/dad formally. You seem level-headed and with it enough to know what''s over the top or tacky (like big princess dress and carriages) for an event like this, but no, I don''t think having a traditional wedding for your second marriage is out of line.

By "FI and lil one" I meant the family you''re building. I re-read my post and it sounded like I said you were PG.

WOOT! I''m tacky!

And plotting revenge on someone...

Like I said, I''m old and grouchy. You young ladies that haven''t been married and divorced are allowed. For me I feel like I''m saying ''look at me I found another sucker to marry my ass!''.

HH, WL called me tacky--and she knows it because she''s snooped out my site-that-must-not-be-named profile!

You don''t really think I was singling you out do you? I wasn''t referring to anyone. Honest engine!

The fact that she''s a puppy is good for you. Keep the water warm, fill it up so it hits her belly, and keep her collar on so you have sometime to keep hold of. And talk her through it with soft nice words and lots of praise.

LOL My ''puppy'' is 4

She knows the drill, she just doesn''t know it''s a comin''!


::sigh:: I love puppies. I miss mine as a puppy - she was so quirky and loved jumping off of everything. Now she''s got that teenager attitude. You know, cuddles when SHE feels like it

Really, she''s catdog. Sometimes aloof and perchy and sometimes a tumbling-running-licking-tornado.

LOL in that case, don your poncho and gloves, toss the little b*tch in the tub and go for it!

lol my friends were texting and messaging my FI to have him make me put pics up. but i have a lot of out-of-town friends who won''t see me again til the wedding if they can make it so i gave in.


Freke, i gladly take donations of food. especially the donations that come on plates, already warm. i do dishes

so has anyone made their own vino using the juice concentrate method?

does that method involve an old boot and a prison cell?

nah, you just tell the juice to concentrate, eventually its brain explodes, filter it out and you have wine!

it''s the 2 things of frozen juice, double that in water, stir in enough sugar til it''s cloudy, one package of yeast, and let sit for a couple weeks with a punching balloon on top method

No! I''m just giving you a hard time.

And I wasn''t talking about plotting revenge on YOU, instead I''m plotting revenge on my dad''s now-ex-girlfriend. He did something stupid, and now he''s paying for it (emotionally and financially) and she it hitting him where it hurts. Which is totally messed up, and I am trying to think of some way to get her to leave him alone.

Thanks HH, I think I still have some left over issues from the judgemental circle of friends I had when I was married the first time and for some reason they all still feel the need to talk trash about me so I know me getting re-married is totally going to fuel the fire. I''m actually right where I''ve always wanted to be in life and I only surround myself w/ positive people and positive situations. I shouldn''t worry about it the way I do. The funny thing is that the only person that should have been judged is my ex. I didn''t have an affair, I didn''t treat him bad, I held up my end of the bargain and he didn''t. However because I was the moving party (I left his dumbass) I''m the bad guy. So because I didn''t want to raise my daughter in a home w/ an abusive man I''m apparently a raging beyoch. Whatever. The worst is that my exes best friend is my cousin. My blood cousin who I totally grew up w/ and we were very close. He and his wife have both not spoken to me for over 2 years. They never once called to see if I was ok, nothing. It''s just an awkard situation because I know it will get turned around into me flaunting my engagement and blah blah blah. I have sworn to a drama free life.

Wow that felt good to get that out.

Can I borrow those?

 

[FrekeChild]

Do you wear a 38?

(I always get so weirded out by European/American shoe sizes. I went with 38s because I'd rather they be a tiny bit too big instead of a tiny bit too small, and I never know what to chose with 7.5s AND 8s all over my closet!)

 

[Lauren8211]

Ok Freke, I have a question.

Those shoes are clearly awesome. BUT... i see them as art! I feel I could never pull off actually wearing those shoes! What would you wear those with? I wish I could wear shoes like that, but I''m too scared!

Such cute tiny feet!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I WANT THOSE SHOES!!!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I''d wear them with dark jeans and a white tee for a more casual look or all black with just those and a bright pink bag, or with a LBD.

Ah elle....

You bring up my future plans. I too see them as art, as I do with MANY a shoe. Especially because it''s not every day I can afford something like that. So while people like Paris Hilton can feel free to wear shoes of this (and higher) caliber, and TRASH THEM because they can afford to replace them, if they don''t get them for free, they are just that much more important to me.

SOOOO, my future plan is to have a 4 bedroom house, and to make the smallest bedroom into my shoe room. AKA my closet/dressing room, where shoes like this will be on display in glass/plexiglass cases. My dearest friend (been together since shortly after birth) is an artist, and although mostly oil paints, and she has come up with an idea of displaying said shoes--putting me in a black dress, and taking pictures of me in each pair of shoes, and putting them all together in one frame and displaying it somewhere, so that I can admire my shoes WITHOUT taking them out of the box. This won''t happen for a while, but it will happen eventually...And then when I have the shoe room, I can put it in there, or leave it somewhere else...

Forget them. You are a great person with an adorable daughter and a wonderful FI.

Enjoy your engagement and have a beautiful wedding. You deserve it.

This is really $hitty and I''m sorry you had to go through it all. Some people will never ''get it'' and you shouldn''t feel guilty about writing them out of your life. And your SHOULD flaunt your engagement! You''ve met the man of your dreams who adores you and your daughter. If they can''t be happy for you then F-them! And as for the a$$hat you married, there''s a special place in hell for men like that. This is such a happy time for you all, don''t let a few people ruin it for you. No one says you have to have them in your life, even if they are related to you.

How about with navy blue sailor pants? Or winter white cords? Or pinstriped pants? (These are the only pants I own right now that fit!) maybe a LBD...And I don''t have a pink purse! I do have bright green, teal, blue, seafoam and white though...

That is such a crappy situation.

I hate when people take sides, especially when they dont know or refuse to acknowledge the other side of the story.
