After having an awesome interview yesterday (thank you to MissMusic and BP for the well wishes), I have a second working interview Monday.

Last night I spent hours on the computer looking at apartments. We would have to move if I got the job. I even sent DH a couple links to jobs in the new location. Cart before horse much? TBH, I think the interview went so great, and I have high hopes for it. Still, so CBH.

Woohoo! Congrats

My confession is that I cried for about 20 minutes yesterday when one of the bridesmaids in the wedding I'm MOH for told me she (and also apparently the bride) didn't like the color scheme I chose for the shower. I was so excited to plan this party for my best friend, and I feel like I totally missed the mark. My emotions are just all effed lately and I cry at the drop of a hat.

FTR... I liked the color scheme! And as I posted earlier, I cried over a freaking breakfast sandwich. Left Hug Right Hug

That is horrible beep! I'm sorry and it really makes the bride look very ungrateful. I cannot imagine complaining about something someone is gracious enough to sacrifice their time and money to do something so nice for me. B!tc$es!! ((hugs))

No apparently she admitted it was MUD, but I get bored after awhile if things go on too long, so I stopped reading lol. Too bad it wasn't scandalous.

Bubbalub · August 2011

I am mad at myself for giving in to the phantom symptoms so early in TTC. I know better than to get my hopes up, yet I'm doing it. And in only our second cycle. Loser, table for me. And my temps have been going up and down every day the last few days, but still above the coverline so I'm all confused and alternately hopeful and resigned.

Just to explain a little. The BM told me she interviewed the bride about her "visions" of her shower decor and the bride apparently told her she wanted the blue from the (blue and cream) invitation kept to a minimum. This totally conflicts with what the bride told me ("the invitations are beautiful, I love them!") but whatever. So I said that I wanted to still use the blue to tie in with the inviation (it's blue and cream) and the BM said she wanted to only use cream and latte (the BM dress color) and anything that's a keep sake should match the wedding colors. Since she's in charge of the decor including table cloths, I'm kind of at her mercy, because I'm not going to be a biitch and say "you're not doing what I want so you don't get to help." I was planning to do a wish jar that I was going to dress up with a simple blue ribbon and fresh flowers, and was only going to use blue in the napkins and plates and the cake itself, so really not much. I planned to do everything else in cream anyway so it wouldn't look like a baby shower. The wish jar wasn't even going to by kept - I'm going to scrapbook them for her, so it doesn't even matter. But I - in my emotional state, I admit - took it all to mean that they didn't like my color scheme or my ideas for the shower.

I didn't want it to look exactly like her wedding - they're two separate parties. I think this is more the BM's opinion than the bride's, so I'm not really upset with her. I'm more upset that this BM - who my friend is worried will not even come to the shower because she's so anti-social - didn't speak up about anything when I was trying to get ideas and now she's got opinions. She hadn't even answered one of my emails until LAST WEEK (when we started planning in late June). All the other bridesmaids thought that blue, cream and latte was good because the wedding itself is latte and cream with green accents, so it would be close to her taste but distinct from the wedding itself.

I know I'm being irrational. Know it. But can't help it.

1. I have no idea what FFFC or AE are referring to (2. I actually looked at the glossary to try to figure it out..which makes me feel like an even bigger nerd) Sad

3. I tend to fluctuate between totally excited and geeked about TTC and slightly freaked out. Embarrassed

FFFC = flame free Friday confessions

I don't think you are being irrational. But the BM should never have "interviewed" the bride. The bride has no say in the matter except what dates she is available and maybe the type of shower (couples, girls). I'm sure it is lovely and your BF will love it! I would obsess and worry just as much as you are!! It will all come together in the end.

What was the color scheme?

Robin's egg blue, cream and latte. Her wedding is latte, cream and sage green. So similar, within the same palette, but distinct. There's most explanation a couple posts up

Oh, I agree, especially after the bride told me she trusted my opinion (she loved my sister's shower that I planned) and didn't want to have input. That's why I'm not entirely sure the BM is even being honest about the "bride's" opinion of the blue. It's all so effing stupid.

I think it sounds beautiful. The bride probably is thrilled with you throwing the shower for her- regardless of the color scheme while the other BM is jealous that she's not getting the props for the party. Don't let her bother you.

She just brought up the screen name is similar to your Jenk84.

I'm sure that whoever Jenna is was born the same year as I was and just has a similar name. I have never seen her on here, nor am I her.

ShadyKatie, I admit to. She wasn't really an AE for MUD, just an AE I made up the day the princesses came around to mock them (and mock Kate Middleton at the same time). I never did say any untruths under her... except saying it wasn't me.
