I'm getting married in 10 days. So that's cool, and some of you guys are already married so whats the big deal right? The experience of planning the wedding was/ is quite...well...an experience. Nothing like having an event constantly on your mind for 10 months. Advice: Don't have a wedding, or plan it within a month. Seriously. I'm sure it will be great and fun and everything, but right now it's not worth all the stress and work. Of course if we were rich, things would be eaiser. We could just pay for people to do everything for us. Instead we are doing mostly everything by ourselves and with the help of friends or close contacts. Which is cool. But christ, I coordinate things for my job all day. I'm tired of coordinating all the time. Atleast I'm good at it though.
Speaking of jobs, Kim hates hers. And its not the actual work, that could be good. It's the fucked up people above and around her. That place is fucked up. Makes me apprecieate progressive and fair leadership and cooperative work environments.
To "help" us with the wedding, my future father-in-law decided to come stay with us for 2 weeks before. JFC. Talking about building stress on top of stress. Luckily we kicked him out into an extended stay. But we still have to spend time with him every couple of days or so. And on top of that, our frikkin cats just cant seem to get along. One of them peed on our bed. Tim, I can't image dealing wtih kids. Ever. Not on top of all this.
So Kolpak mailed me $60 in a card for our wedding/ egagement. Which was super nice and awesome. However, he has not paid me for fantasy football. So I'll probably end up taking the $10 out of the $60. Whatever, classic Kolpak. SOB. See his kid yet? Looks like a smiley Kolpak. Pretty cute.
Remember parties at Kolpaks pool? I was reminded of it because my neighbors kid was throwing parites all week when his parents were away. Sweet pool in the back. I almost called the cops a couple times, but held off. I kept thinking that could be me back there having an awesome time. Hell, I could even be in a drinking contest with Jessie and Ron for the most beers. (18's my reoord.) Those parties are where my best memories were made, let em go.
Damon better not win our league. Matt, your team sucks.
Here is the best advice ever:
Keep your eye on the prize.
We say that alot around here because life is chaotic and its easy to get lost in a moment and lose your head.
Animal piss happens. Sweetpea pee'd in the bed at least three times after we brought the baby home (while we were in it sleeping). Some kind "how dare you create change in my universe" deal that animals go through. I wish I could tell you how to make it go away.
Kids are easier than most parents would let on. 1) Hormones take over your brain and change you. 2) They are pretty darn cute. Wedding planning is harder because its optional. Get through this and you'll know you're in good shape.
In Laws. What is that guy thinking. He must know he is making it harder for you two. Maybe thats his plan. Trial by fire. That too will pass.
Keep your eye on the prize.
Tim is totally right about changes in the brain when u have kids, i had never changed a diaper in my life, thought it was totally gross. Now if i even think my kid crapped, i stick my nose in there and check it out. All i can think is, "my kid's got crap on him, i gotta get it off... got to get it off!"
And its amazing how women have such terrible pregnancies and births and recoveries and then about a month after the baby is born they say to u, "u know i really want another," and u look at them like they have three heads and all u can think is, "DONT U REMEMBER THE LAST F*ING YEAR!" (Baby-Brain Wipe: All of a sudden it "wasn't that bad")
All of u people with pets are crazy! The added work, extra expenses, lack of vacations, the ugly smells, dirty house and hoping they dont attack u or a neighbor. I dont get it. Never really thought about it, but maybe its a psychological problem we have here in America, smaller families and more spread out means fewer people love us on a day to day basis, so we get a pet and at least we got one thing in our lives that we know loves us, wonder if anyone has done a study on that...
For missing the draft i think i got a sweet team, if i had just benched DeAngelo Williams the last two games i would be 3-0, damn the pass happy panthers, what are they thinking.
Anyone here from Tino lately, hows he doing?
