my life, my pace

So the etiquette-less wedding of the year was this past weekend. Not only was I graced by the wonderful presence of my sister-in-law but I also got a healthy dose of my mother-in-law as well. I don’t like weddings. I don’t like weddings that involve my in-laws being anywhere near me. And I really don’t like receptions that last five hours! Yes, you read right. Five whole hours. I must have been delirious because after oh, the first three hours, I found myself being somewhat envious of my sister-in-law’s ability to be a social butterfly. I try. Really, I do. But people just don’t interest me. And I can’t pretend that I’m interested. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t sometimes lament my lack of people skills. Sometimes I wish it was easy for me. That I could fit in. So my song for the week is Unkle Bob - The Hit Parade. Because sometimes I want normal things too.

As always, feel free to send song suggestions to me here.

1. inspirational music for life’s (annoying) little moments 2.3I hate to admit it (and likely jinx myself), but this summer has been the quietest one so far in terms of in-law drama. Sure, I had that pesky cousin-in-law over for three weeks, but that was nothing compared to having not-so-dear brother-in-law and passive-aggressive cousin-in-law over for eight long weeks along with a severely sprained ankle. But, of course, all good things must come to an end, and I'm currently preparing myself for super spectacular in-law drama for Labor Day weekend. To make a long story short, we will all end up converging in a sunny locale to show yet another cousin-in-law universities in the area and sister-in-law wants everyone to get together and pretend to be one big, completely fake, happy family. Which, of course, isn't going to happen because I have banned any contact between myself and my husband with not-so-dear brother-in-law and his super psycho super fugly girlfriend (maybe I should just call her SPSFG for short...or maybe not...). And of course, because my sister-in-law loves all things fake, she'll throw a huge hissy fit and declare me the evil one. Well, so be it if that's what it takes for me to make a stand against their golden boy and his SPSF girlfriend. I'd rather be ostracized (quite frankly, I much prefer being uninvolved) than be exposed to that fugliness for even a millisecond. Oh yeah, and I can't stand superficiality and fakeness. If my family doesn't get along, then we don't get along. We...
2. inspirational music for life’s (annoying) little moments 2.1I'm in a goofy song mood.  Maybe it's because my husband was mowing the lawn earlier tonight and purposely (at least to me) ran over our neighbor's sprinkler head while it was on, sending water shooting in a huge stream onto my neighbor's car and I'm trying really, really hard not to get angry, but I need a goofy song.  A goofy couple song.  Even though I do not at all think what my husband did was goofy.  I'm just trying to pretend it was.  So my song for this week is The Refreshments - Down Together. Don't forget to send me song suggestions here....
3. inspirational music for life’s (annoying) little moments 1.6I am certainly annoyed today to put it lightly. It’s a long story, so I won’t bother, but of course, it has to do with the in-laws, who I have the distinct pleasure of having to visit this weekend and the fact that my husband continues to refuse to see them for the evil daughter-/sister-in-law torturers they are. So the song that I’ve chosen for this week is: Get Set Go – I Hate Everyone, a catchy and amusing song about…well, hating everyone. Because right now, I think I hate everyone. And I’ve never hated anyone before. I’m certainly turning into a little monster. As always, feel free to submit song suggestions through the contact form. </p>...
