I’m not sure if it makes me happy or sad that none of these were surprising to me. For my husband’s last birthday my mother in law got him an oscillating fan.
It’s comforting to know that mine isn’t the only one so weird about gift giving.
Every time my husband and I go visit his brother in Chicago, my sister-in-law’s mom gives us a couple cases of Spotted Cow from the stash she collects from her monthly trips to Wisconsin. She’s my favorite person in the family.
Must be nice. 90% of my friends live within two hours of me. On top of that my husband and I each have pretty large families with siblings all around the same ages and we are the only ones on both sides with no kids. I’ve had to throw 2 baby showers within two weeks of each other. At least at the bachelorette parties I’ve thrown and weddings I’ve attended I got to get wasted and pretend I don’t white-girl dance instead of watching someone open a gift that consists of butt paste and diapers.
Yeah – cuz what I really look for in my work day is having to listen to people argue over what the temperature should be set at. Let the building/facility management set the temperature, buy a sweater, and find something more important to complain about.
I’m moving out of the wedding season and in to the “all my friends are having kids” stage of life. Even if this is what it’s turning in to, I’d gladly have wedding season back.
I’ll jump in with those who have said they like the changes and appreciate the overall effort to keep the brand evolving. Looking beyond the immediate color and logo changes (which I do enjoy), I fear the day I age out of the 20-30s range and can no longer identify with a lot of the content. I’d love to see an evolution of the site/brand that will grow along with it’s current contributors and readers.
My husband did something similar when we got married. Found a place that looked awesome online and ended up getting us a ridiculous deal at a brand new venue with awesome views in the middle of the city. Man I love him…

Yeah… you’re probably right.
I once watched my mom chug a beer while her friend yelled “take it all, bitch!” at her. I’m not too worried about how adult she thinks I am.

But what if the priest is also your friend?

Congrats on the weight-loss
I honestly don’t give a shit what kids call their parents, but if whatever it is has a rationale like this behind it you deserve to be sterilized.

This was good…real good.
