sometimes people are stupid

So! My brother is married. It is done.

My weekend, in brief:

Friday: arrived at hotel and left immediately for the bridal luncheon where there was lots of yummy food, got nails done, had rehersal dinner at Stone Mountain's marina. Got lost for an hour coming back, but J and I were asleep in the back seat so it didn't matter much to us. My Aunt K's parents left without her (they're 80 some years old) got lost, and didn't make it back to the hotel until ONE PM THE NEXT AFTERNOON. Yes, folks, they were lost from 10 at night to 1 the next day. It was a little nerve-wracking.

Saturday: had my make-up done, hair shelacked, put on my neck-plunging bridesmaid gown. Dudes, it was so low. I had to tape myself and I was worried I was going to pop out all night. I'll have pics in a few days maybe :) Had a very nice reception, then I went to sleep while J stayed up and got so drunk he threw up all night all over the hotel room. I was and am still very pissed. I had to stay up all night and clean up after him and make sure he didn't destroy the room. I left the maid a hefty tip anyway, but way to put a strain on my brother's wedding J! Thanks!

Sunday: woke up after about 3 hours sleep for the wedding brunch. J, still drunk, managed to behave himself and not throw up at the table. Packed up and headed for the airport, where about 15 other guests from Philly were also on the flight. Got home around 5, rounded up all the animals. The cats were angry, Moose wanted to go back to J's parents, Roxy just wanted ATTENTION she's such a brat, and Chewie wouldn't leave my lap. Happy didn't even notice we were gone, so long as her food arrived in time.

So, yeah, not the relaxing weekend I had been hoping for, but it's OVER thank god. Did I miss anything around here?

I've been to Stone Mountain when I was very very little. I remember it being cool at the top and that my dad, who's afraid of heights, barely made it up there on that gondola thingy.

You should have seen it now. It's pretty fascinating, really. Because it's interesting to see the high rises that far away. It's really bad you look over the edge, though. I'm always afraid I'm going to fall over.

yeah, I wouldn't be able to look over the edge.

[veracity]

I don't blame you. I hate the edges.

I've been looking up info for trips to Italy next summer. I've decided that when my inheritance comes in, I really want to spend some of what I can get on doing for *me*, just once.

Italy! That sounds awesome, you should totally do that. I am awfully fond of Switzerland myself. There's so much to DO.

After looking at the prices, I can't see spending 7k in total on a trip. It hurts my brain trying to wrap around those figures. My granddad, the who left me this money, was from Switzerland. If I do go? I'll go to like Ireland for a shorter stay. The prices were more in line with my budget.

oooo, ireland! pretty!

[veracity]

Well, you've seen what Atlanta calls green. Can you blame me?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I really want to go to ireland myself

I have issues putting down that much money. Especially my godmom in my ear, telling me all my responsibilities I have, too. Apparently I'm not 26, but 5.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I'm the same way. I have a really hard time putting money down for trips.

[veracity]

Well, I think my problem is that I know what the money could be used for, and I know it's hard for me to use it for me. My godmom reminding didn't help. I have things I *need* to pay off, and will, but I had planned on about 4-5k. And yeah, not so much gonna happen. I got the laundry list at me.

I am a hoarder. I like squirrelling money away, and J likes to spend it *shakes head*

See, after my major fuck up at 18, I'm really careful with it. I got the meaning of it. But the thing is, that I really, really need a vacation away from everyone. And I wanted to go outside the US. But at this point, I might have to stay in it. Which sucks. Cause I wanted to go explore and have fun. I think my last vacation was like five years ago. And my last one alone was seven. So I need the time to myself. And my godmom decided to tell me everything I need to do with the money. Like I don't know. Kinda like how dare I be selfish for a brief minute.
