Trailer Update etc...

[Sym2]

Your not going to believe this.
The trailer was ready a few days ago.
MIL went to look at it to OK it for delivery, and sent it back...because the sofa/couch had the wrong pattern of blue on it!
FIL contacted the manufacturer, and has supposedly straightened it out though.
Hmn!
He told me the factory was going to switch sofas and give him delivery, BUT he had to pay extra for the change b/c the sofa he asked for is not stocked anymore.
(Its a PATTERN!!!)
So...fil said to make the change, agreed to the cost of it, but now he is going to get there (in 6d?) and tell them he is not paying more.

He said he will tell them to refund him if he has to, or return his old trailer if need be. Now, he knows they have already sold his old trailer, so when I asked...where will you stay if you give up this new trailer and can't get your old one back, and he said..I don't know.
???
Dh must have said somrthing to him about our privacy, b/c fil keeps away mostly now and makes all these comments about MY privacy, MY time, MY home.
I feel bad b/c I am not being very hospitable, and when he says I know Im getting under your feet, I just kinda shrug and say...yeah.
But...It is a trailer!
Its just a pattern!
OMG!
Now, when can we expect they will have this trailer...here...and they will be living in it??
Who knows really.
I've told my brain just to adjust to the ILs LIVING here, and the hugely compounding expense of it all, because frankly, it is too far gone now.
I just give up.
It just a FRIGGING TRAILER!
GO GET IT!!!

Hmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn..........................
BIL and his dw came to visit too!
I liked them.
They asked where the Holiday Inn was, and they went there.
They pulled out their credit card to pay for dinner, even though we did in the end b/c it was their 7th anniversary.
They stayed to a reasonable hour at night, then left.
Cool!
It wase visit b/c bil and dh have not been so nicey nicey to eachother for the past 7-8 years, so it was fun, and I took pics of them playing in the pool, and we had a nice time together.
Now they are home again

Well.my sister is getting married in just 18? days now?
My mother is hoping I will say somethimg ****ing JUST as we launch the boat, so she will back out of it.
She said, can't you just say...you don't have to do this if you don't want to??
I wish I could. But I have said my peace, and she is making her own decisions, which I can only hope are right, but it seems everyone is very concerned about this marriage. They all keep taking bits of her conversations about her life, piecing them together, and summing her choices up to this. She is 34, wants kids, thinks her biological clock is ticking, things biracial babies are just beautiful, has debt and connections with this man (house, mortgare, loans etc), almost resents our mother for marrying for love instead of money, and they (her closes friends and relatives) thinks she is settling for all these reasons, even though she doesn't think he is THE one for her.
I don't know anymore. I am glad the final decision is not mine though. I guess if you piece it all together like THAT it looks like settling, but think my sister is pickier than that.
I HOPE she is pickier in that!
I am very concerned nevertheless. At her bridal shower, her one friend told us all about her maid of honour experience with another friend. She said JUST as they were going to walk down the asile...If you wanna run...I'll be right behind you!
Of course, she didn't, but we all got a big LOL about it, so maybe I could say something just like that and she is marrying for all the right reasons, she will just laugh it off in remembering the story at the shower??
Maybe I should just but out, although that is just not my special quality.
I'm so nervous!
And she is my OLDER sister. Can't wait to shred my little sisters fiance to pieces when the time comes. He better be the second coming of christ himself!!

So............I still have no dress!
No shoes, no jewlrey picked out.
I am supposed to weigh 185 now. Instead I weigh 193!
Holy F***!
I have officially wasted about 250 bucks this month, lost ZERO pounds, and my newly found size 14 is teetering on a 16 again!
I freaked on dh and fil last night after I weighed in at Herbal Magic.
I bought 5 bags of fruit and veggies and I scared the crap out of them about bringing ANY thing unhealthy into my house for the remainder of the year!
I said, EAT WHOLE GRAIN BREAD, EAT FAT FREE COTTAGE CHEESE, DRINK DIET POP, AND IF YOU WANT TO EAT GUMMY BEARS AND CHIPS EAT THEM IN YOUR FRIGGING CAR AND THROW OUT THE WRAPPERS BEFORE YOU PULL BACK IN THE YARD!THIS IS MY HEALTH, MY BODY, MY GOAL AND DAMMIT YOUR ALL GOING TO HELP ME ACHEIVE IT EVEN IF IT MEANS YOU HAVE TO GET HEALTHIER EATING IT TOO!!

There was no room for discussion.
They just starred at me.
I don't care. My body is MORE important than their sugar cravings, and I told them so!
Think I am a B*. I will be a thinner B* anyway!
LOL

So..............I have maybe 18 days left to get back to a small 14, so I can go buy a dress off the rack. Trouble is...I have to buy the dress in the next few days so I can find the shoes and accessories, so I will be buying a dress that does not zip up, in the big leap of faith that I will not fall off the strict diet wagon again in the next 2.5 weeks, so I have a dress to wear to the wedding. I also have to hope I do not get drunk again *since I now get drunk off 2 drinks) because when I get drunk, I like to eat toast with PB and jam at 1am!
lol
But it is not really funny.
I am actually concerned, and my willpower lately has been non-existant, so I NEED to be careful and strict and hard on myself.
Being fat sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Getting here was fine. It tasted sooo good!
But getting back to normal is just hard!
I am so sorry I ever got fat to begin with!

Well.....I think I have again ventured slightly off topic, but that is just how my brain works these days.
So sorry if I have been negative girl again.
I am going to email Ronen right now about the moderating so I will let you know when I hear anything, and Holly, I will promis to get to your email tonight. I will also be available in the evenings for the chat if your available too this week.

Gotta run.
See you all later,
I will tell you about the dress as soon as I have it.

I have emailed Dave instead of Ronen. Awaiting a reply.

Just wanted to share, I have also emailed my old best friend growing up. We talked on the phone last week, and he said we should go for coffee and catch up, so after carefull deliberation (because I did say HE and I don't want dh to get to get the wrong idea about calling up men-lol), I have emailed him to let him know Id like to see him after 15 years.
I think it will be fun and and entertaining, and I think dh will like him too, so if we find that we can still tollerate eachother, I will introduce dh to him as well.

Just wanted to let you know that I am at long last, on the ball regarding emailing the request for us all to be co-mods, and that I have even caught up on a few old emails and stuff.

Stacey,
I have to say, your life is an entertaining story! You could tell your sister about the "Runaway Bride" here who said she was kidnapped, so didn't have to get married. This lady has been offered a movie deal for it! LOL (Is this the actress sister who is getting married, by the way?)

I have another question... what do you mean by "trailer" is that something like a couch???? I'm confused. hehe

Well, my next exciting thing in my life is, I'm going to FL (that would be FLORIDA!) on Saturday for a week (work related). I'm going to be about 1.5 (miles) from DisneyWorld and all the other "toursity" things! Woohoo!! But my family will be here in NV> Poor them!

I'll have to post pictures when I get back... speaking of which, I still have loads of laundry!!

Take care Stacey!!!
