Just can't catch a break...
Hey there everyone. Once again, I apologise for the delay in posting another message.
Things with me have stayed as crazy as ever. On top of my illness (I am 95% recovered), my husband and I have had a relative suffer a heart attack, a close family friend die, another relative (my grandfather) begin another batch of chemo rounds, and another family member placed in a personal care home against the person’s will. I have also had a fight with one of my in-laws to the point where I am no longer speaking with that person (and quite frankly do not care if I ever do again!)
Anyway, suffice to say that I haven’t been in the best of moods and I didn’t think that you guys would want to hear me whine yet again.
So…what can I write about?
One of my absolute best friends is having her engagement party tomorrow night. I am very excited about going! I am so happy for her. I really believe that she has found her soul mate. PLUS her mom throws the best parties with the yummiest food (in large quantities) so I really cannot wait!
The only thing is that my husband is driving me crazy about the party – he believes that we are supposed to arrive fashionably late. I know that with this particular friend in general, and this type of occasion in particular, we are supposed to arrive on time.
I think that my husband is just using the fashionably late concept as an excuse because he doesn’t want to go earlier. It isn’t that he doesn’t like my friends. It is just that he has to give this HUGE presentation this coming Wednesday and he still has tons of work to do on it. For the most part, he is so far behind because of the MANY family obligations that his family has imposed on him (without caring at all about his presentation). However, he has also procrastinated a bit on his very own accord.
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t mind his taking time to relax. What I do mind is his trying to disguise the real reason for wanting, or more accurately needing, to go to the party late.
PLUS, I mind that some of the other activities that he chose to participate in with his family could have been skipped so as to allow him to arrive on time for my friend’s engagement party – a party that means A LOT to me that he attend – on time!!!!

Yeesh! You think your husbands job would give him the time he needs to do his presentation - not having to use his own time!
Come on Cranberry! We need some posts!
I'm sure you have lots of stories from your big city days!
Technically my husband is still a student and the presentation is part of his 'coursework'...
However, as an update, his presentation went REALLY well - so well that his 'boss' asked him to present it province-wide.
AND, my husband managed to come to the entire engagement party with me the weekend before too. YAY!
