We spent a whole lot of money to get our car's ac fixed last week and the next day it stopped working again. I have to bring it back Wednesday at 9am and will most likely have to bring the kids with me. I'm so fucking annoyed. Like, why wouldn't they check for leaks in the whole system the first time? They spent an hour+ doing "diagnostics" on it. Like, really fuckers?

Omg, whoever made up the photo requirements for newborn passports clearly hates the world.
That took an hour and a half. For one photo each.

DS2: Knock knock! Me: Who's there? DS2: Cow! Me: Cow who? DS2: Just kidding! I'm a snake who eats sleeping people!! ...so that was an awesome way to wake up this morning. If I ever suddenly disappear, suspect the three year old. I literally laughed out loud. Thank you for my first smile of the day!

As tacky at it would be, I would want the invitation or website to let me know it was a cash bar. I never carry cash on me and would want the heads up.

We had a pretty shitty morning to start off an already stressful week. I just really need to catch up on sleep right now.

I need better friends. I’ve even been to BYOB weddings.... We had a BYOB reception 🤷♀️ I know people here consider it tacky AF, but we couldn't afford full open bar for our boozer (at the time) friends & family. We provided beer/wine/non-alcoholic drinks, & spread the word that you were welcome to bring a bottle if you wanted. If people shit talked us, they hid it well because all I've ever heard was that it was one hell'va good time

My IL’s couldn’t understand why we were upset when we got to our rehearsal dinner to find out that they were doing cash bar and literally only took cash. They knew neither H or I typically carry cash on us. Our groomsmen ended up footing our bill.

It's pouring rain, so I guess that means I won't be working by the pool any time soon...

I've only ever been to full open bars at weddings. I would think if a bar was going to be cash only they should mention it ahead of time. But I don't have experience with that.

I'm really, really kicking myself for booking a 6 am flight this week. I know why I chose it at the time, but I'm really mad at myself now.

I took the boys to camp this morning, grocery shopped ALONE, and now I’m sitting is silence until I have to pick them up. Bliss.

I’ve never been to a cash bar wedding. If you go to a third birthday party here, it’s open bar. I guess my area/people like to drink but I got no complaints.

My coteacher and I are grading final projects. I want to punch myself in the face. We should have just given a final exam. This is torture.

DD slept in until 6:45, which means I slept in until 6:45 (sad that in my world 6:45 is sleeping in). Our neighbor across the street is moving and she was packing up her garage at 3 am. She woke me up multiple times, so 6:45 instead of 6 was much appreciated.

It looks like I've finally convinced H to do the Seychelles for our 10 year anniversary trip. He's not really a beach guy but the time difference and weather in Jan are great and the flight isn't too long.
We've been discussing it off and on for weeks and I think he's even willing to do a ridiculous over the top hotel for a few nights. We're both not into super formal/ uptight places and one I found seems to hit the right mix of being luxurious but still being casual.
We normally go places where he can do some of his favorite hobbies like mountain biking or skiing so I think we're both OK with this being more "my" trip.
I'm very excited it will be our first trip without the boys for more than a night or two.

As I have learned from this board, the average check we give at weddings is considered obscene in other parts of the country. I would love a good culture shock. We can wind down at a chain restaurant after the wedding and I can tell you what I learned.

If a wedding cost me $25, I prob wouldn’t be that mad about a cash bar. I would just tear shit up at TGIFridays afterwards.
