Letting out the snarkyness
Please join me so I don't feel bad being snarky by myself.

Re: Letting out the snarkyness
*wearing red suspenders under a white shirt is stupid
*a wedding reception that is a picnic where your suppose to bring your own lawn chair is tacky
*misspellings on a wedding invitation are tacky
*having your 3 year old little boy be the "host" for your baby shower is being a FH

Oh I will play...
*announcing to the world on fb that "Violet would like to tell you all that mommy and daddy are making her a big sis in Feb...Send us your well wishes" is tacky...
*giving me, your barren ute'd sil who has had 2 losses in the last year, every little thing about your pg is tacky...
*complaining about being pg is tacky...shut up and be grateful!
Legit conversation at my 10-year reunion last Saturday night:
Me: "Oh, hey, random girl I barely knew way back when! How are you doing?"
Former cheerleader FH: "Oh, you know, I'm good. I have five little boys at home."
Me:
"Wow! That's a lot of little boys."
FCFH: "I know. I *think* I might have one more, though."
Me: (runs off to tell all my friends about encounter with Baby Machine, as FCFH was called for the duration of the evening)
People who know about my loss complaining to me about their pg or how they are planning a baby shower for someone who didn't even want a baby.
Stupid fh who was shopping in our store today, rubbing her belly the whole time. She looked lost so I asked if she needed any help and all I got was a nasty look.
A "friend" who only seems to talk to me when she had a loss or if she gets her period. If she is pregnant she wants nothing to do with me and I'm getting tired of it.
People who wear black bra's or underwear under white clothes.

Oh, and another encounter at my reunion:
6th grade friend: "Hey! How are you? I'm great! I have a 3 1/2 year old son!"
Me: "That's wonderful! I'm good, I..."
6th grade friend, cutting me off: "It's hard. We want one more but I just had a m/c."
Me, for whatever reason, deciding to confide in her: "I'm so sorry! My husband and I lost a baby last Decem-"
6th grade friend, once again cutting me off: "Yeah, well, I keep telling myself it's all God's plan. Something just wasn't right with my baby and my time will come soon enough. It happens ALL THE TIME."
Me: "Well...my friend needs me. Nice chatting with you."
Dude...she literally hit every m/c cliche, right?
Those are all good ones. I always think of stuff to write days later, but let's see...
*DH's friend's wife (with 3 kids) came very close to saying I am lucky I don't have kids so I can nap on the weekends.
I can't believe that's all I've got. I guess I'm in a good mood after vacation last week and finally quitting my nightmare job.
