Trying to be the bigger person....

I feel like my last few blogs have been real Debbie downers and that all I do is complain. But hey its my blog and my journal so if I write it out then I feel a little bit better. My family is made up of 4 girls (very outspoken girls) And one boy. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I think out of "the sisters" I am the most laid back...it takes me awhile to get mad about stuff but when I do it takes me a long time before I can forgive (not my best quality I know.) I also feel that when I am right that I am right until someone else lets me see it from a different point of view....but I'm stuck trying to let it go, and trying to be the bigger person. And how do you NOT have to be right all the time?

Tacky or Not Tacky??

So along with getting married we get to also go on a super fun VACATION aka HONEYMOON....which I totally need. And while we were searching for that perfect place to go I ran across this website honeyfund.com I really liked it. I think it would be perfect for us since we have been living in sin for the last year. heheheh But I'm torn between if its tacky or not. I know now that things have changed and now its not considered tacky to register for a place. But most of the time its for newly weds that have nothing and need a jump start on stuff for their new pad. And I don't know if its tacky to ask for people to help pay for a honeymoon instead of getting a mixer or something that we already have. Let me know my two blog buddies if you think this is tacky. And don't worry about hurting my feelings cause you know it wont. :)

Friends ?

I have a question for those of you that read my blog (all two of you...lol) If you found out that you had offended a friend of yours. Would you A. Call and talk to them about it? B. Send a text asking why they were upset? or C. Wait till they said something to you and act like everything is fine even though you know its not? And then once everything is out in the open and you know what is wrong, what you did to upset the person, and why they hadn't mentioned the problem sooner do you A. Apologies B. Act like YOU are the one that is now upset because you feel like you have been wronged in some weird way. or C. Send a rude email saying you will apologize when your good and ready to? I know I'm being vague with all of the questions but I do want to know how others handle apologizing. I'm not saying I'm the Queen of it. But if and when I find out that I have offended and it wasn't my intention to do that. I try to take care of it pretty soon. I have found in the last few weeks that some people will surprise you with how fast and sincere they are with their apologies and then how some are shocked and appalled that you would even be upset over something they think is to trivial.....and an apologies is out of the question.

Scars

So today at work I had someone that has been coming into the office for over a year now and just barley noticed the scars on my face....And of coarse he wasn't very tactful about it. He said "OMG what happened to your face." I immediately put my hand to my face thinking I must be oozing blood or something and then realized he was talking about my scars. After that it was awkward to say the least. I'm not mad at him, he didn't know what happened. And yeah he could have been more tact full about it, but hell I know I have said things that I wish that I could crawl under the table after It was said ...But what I wasn't prepared for was how it made me feel after. It has been a really long time since I have thought about my scars that way. I mean I see them every day but I am pleased with the way they look and I am VERY thankful that they are as mild as they are compared to some that I have seen. But still the look on his face when he was looking at me did remind me of the stares right after the accident, the way that my nieces and nephews looked at me like they were scared. Not scared of me but scared for me. I started to cry...And I haven't cried about the scars on my face for a long time....But it really bothered me.

Pics from last night

Marie and Anthony

This was the look on his face when he came back and saw his steak...lol

In this pic Jamie said that he likes his steak RARE. So this is what he got.

In this pic its Steven Brandon Desi Rich and my rude sister Cristy.

Nicole Kirs Kori Jamie and Andy is the red head.

Now this chef was funny and said some way funny stuff. Especially to my friend Kris. He told her that she didnt have a man and he could tell....LMAO which it was true. He also asked my brother in law if he liked his meat pink...like he likes his women?!?!??!?! Uhmm hello! Thank god he got our table!

Our chef...he wasnt as funny as the other chef there!

Mom & Dad on the end. Nicole and Kris sitting on the right. And Maire and her crew coming in behind her. Notice her "awesome" boyfriend in the back that is not wanting to be in the pic.

Annoyed

OMG some people are so rude and sometimes those people are your family and you want to punch them in the face and tell them to quite being so g** Damn rude. I had a dinner for my birthday and decided to invite family and friends to KOBE. I wanted sushi and it is a Japanese steak house so I figured that it would be a good place to eat and everyone could get what they wanted. Now I had sent out invitations (nothing formal just a text) to everyone. Asked them to tell me who was going cause I was making RESERVATIONS!!!! Now lets look at the word RESERVATIONS what does it mean? Well Websters dictionary says that it is this.........

re-ser-va-tion: the act of reserving something. a limited condition

Now to me that means that when you make a RESERVATION that when you tell them 15 people that that is all that is coming are the 15 people that you made the reservation for....Well apparently that means.....to hell with RESERVATIONS lets just invite whom ever we want even though its not even my dinner. My whole point to this rambling is that my inconsiderate friend decided to do just that. I make the so called reservation and then find out that there are 2 more coming...not a big deal I still have a week till the dinner. Then last Friday night she opens her mouth yet AGAIN!!! And invites someone that I did not invite. Which isn't a big deal till I call later on in the week to tell them that I am adding yet another 2 people and asking if we can just make it an even 20. Well here is the problem they have someone coming in at 7 so now I need to change the time from 630 to 600. Resend out all of the invitations (yes again just text messages)letting everyone know 3 days before that I am changing the time by a half hour. Where I find out that my rude and inconsiderate sister has decided to have a swimming party for her daughters birthday which was on February 1st. THAT'S RIGHT SHE IS FINALLY HAVING THE PARTY ALMOST A MONTH LATER! But she has decided to do this at the last min...like she does everything. Which means that she had literaly decided to do this party on Tuesday of the same week. So by having this party she has tied up the rest of my sisters who all have kids going to this party. So tonight when we all get there at 600 we wait......and wait......and wait......finally at 645 all of my sibling come through the door...Which as soon as they walk in my inconsiderate friend that decided to just invite whom ever she wanted looks at me and says "Maybe you should have kept the time at 630" Just imagine me climbing over the table and clawing out her eyes.....ok that didn't happen. But I did say in my most f u voice...."I had to change the time when I kept on adding people." And then I gave her the your the dumbass that made me change the time look. So not only was I annoyed the whole night about how rude my sisters were and lets not forget my rude ass friend....but then I had the staff trying to hurry and get everyone through with dinner because they were now behind...So I felt bad.........Ok I feel better now that I have ranted on my online blog about this...I wish that I could have just not let it bother me but when you have people sitting there waiting on you and your ass wipe family are all late well I started to get annoyed!!!!!!

My Birthday!!!!

Right before this pic was taken my dad pulled my moms hair...she wasnt happy..lol

It only comes once a year but some how I manage to shove it into and entire weekend of being about ME!! This weekend Chris and I went to Parrish Place and stayed the night. It was soo nice I posted pic of the place on my last post if you want to see what it looks like. Then we went to dinner at Christopher's in Salt Lake it was pretty good. On Sunday we went to see Shutter Island I liked it, but thought that it was kind of sad. We then came home and watched some movies we "really all the movies were movies that I wanted" rented. Then today Feb. 22nd....My family met Chris and I at the Pizza Ria we had lunch it was pretty good.The pics above are from lunch. They even gave me an ice cream cone cause it was my birthday. I gave it to Greydon cause I'm a nice Aunt. Then I had booked a massage for Chris and I. I love to pamper myself on my birthday and this birthday was no exception! Only this time Chris had taken the day off to be with me so I included him in the pampering. We first got to soak in a hot bath and sip on sparkling cider. I kept on telling Chris it was Champagne and that I was getting drunk...lol. I asked him if he wanted some and he told me that he needed to drive. He makes me laugh so hard. And one of my favorite things about him is that he thinks that I'm soo funny. And when he laughs really hard at me it makes me feel good. After the bath we got a massage. I told the girl that I wanted a medium to soft pressure. I think she was trying to work out some aggression, cause she freaking went to town on my back OMG at one point I thought she was going to massage my knee caps right off. After we went and laid around for a bit in the relaxation room and ate chocolate covered strawberries. It was a promo they had for the month of Feb. lucky us!!! Then on the way home we got my fav. SUSHI!!! I love it. And Chris doesn't but that is OK he will still take me to get it cause ya know its MY DAY!!!! Any way the whole weekend was AWESOME!!! and relaxing I loved every second of it and best of all I got to spend it with my favorite boy...CHRIS!!
