Good luck w/everything! Thanks! We'll see how it goes 'cuz I'm sure he got in touch with her today.. we're trying to get it over with before Saturday's wedding. He's convinced she's sitting at our table.. I hope to god shes not but oh well.

ahh this is tough.. Im torn between vacation and pets. I'm gonna go with pets for this month and vacation for june hehehe

The Marriott CasaMagna was my first choice bc of that gazebo too.. and Josephine is really professional and nice. Good luck with your choice!

HE actually brought it up last night before I got the chance. We faught about it a bit (him claiming that girls are caddy lol) but we came to the conclusion to be civil with her. He said obviously he won't be friends with her, he just doesn't want to feel uncomfortable if she happens to be where we are.. I'm fine with civil. I'm not an evil person so I can't be completely mean about it..

I have like little notes and stickys all over it lol I'm taking it with me when I go down again for site visit #2

I just had a BM drop out too but I didn't mind at all. It's the least of the headaches lol But I'd definitely ask your FSIL if you think she's right for the job. I'm sure if you told her you lost a BM and you'd love it if she filled in, she'd be happy to do it.

ohhhhhhhh I'd love to wash myself with penis shaped soap... foamy...

everyone has given me amazing advice - it's what I needed to see things differently and know how to approach him and be cool about it. I usually fly off the handle when I get heated but everyone has given me good pointers. My final decision is going to be to be civil with her but that's it. I'll have this talk with him tonight for sure.......

omg I want one too!

Popemobile hehe That's really cool you saw him.. you'll have good luck all day now

omg I can't stop playing Rock Band. We just got it last week and it's all we do til the weeeeeeeeeee hours of the night. The FI is all about the drums and I'm all about the guitar. I'm looking for a skin I can put on my guitar to make it pink lol

A while back I tried getting into this.. I bought a bunch of materials but never got started bc the instructions were so hard. This seems easy enough. I might give it a try when I'm done with my 101 other projects hehehe

I'm gonna try again today.

She sounds like one of those girls who "thinks" all guys want her and to boost herself up she has to keep telling herself this and wanting others to believe the same, including you. Thing is, they don't usually want the guy -- they just need to feel in their own warped minds that they could have him if they wanted him. Honestly, it doesn't even sound like your FI has a bit of interest in her either. Sounds to me like he just wants things to be peaceful since his sister is good friends with her and not have to worry about friction when you encounter her in social situations -- so maybe his explanation was a little off in asking you if the two of you could be friends with her again and he really just meant can you two just be civil with her socially. As long as he's just wanting you to be civil in social situations, I could deal with that...but as Ann has said, HE needs to set boundaries with her -- and make it very clear to her that it's what HE wants...that he's a grown man and is totally capable of coming up with those boundaries on his own based on his respect and love for you and your relationship. If she can handle it, great...if not -- it's HER problem. I wouldn't give her a second thought anymore. You hit it right on the head. He did say to me,"I won't be close to her like we were, I just don't want to feel uncomfortable anytime we come in contact with her." He suggested we invite her over for dinner or something and just talk things over and clear all the animosity. That way we all can understand each others feelings. I can guarantee she doesn't "want" my FI. It's the fact that before me, she counted on my FI for EVERYTHING. They always hung out, were each other's dates to everything.. and once I came into the picture, he wasn't as accessible to her. Now there was another girl in his life (me) and she had to be pushed to the rear. I don't think she liked that much. I honestly think that's why she's trying so hard to sabotage us.. because she wants her buddy back and be his "number 1" chick. He's made it very clear to me that he loves me and only sees her like a sister.. and its me he has to live with not her.
