O/T - New Puppy

My screen name may indicate otherwise, but our household has been sadly without a canine for several years since my last girl crossed the rainbow bridge.  It was never quite the right time for a new puppy so we waited.

Well the day has arrived (or will arrive in a few weeks).  We will welcome a new golden retriever puppy shortly after New Year's!!!  We saw her parents and got a peek at her as well.  Love at first sight for both of us.

We are soooo excited!!!   

Adults and Trick or Treating

DH had a phone call to catch up with Bratty McBratFace SD25.  I heard part of their conversation (not eavesdropping - he walked into the kitchen to get water where I was there prepping food).  He asked if Bratty was planning to go trick or treating.  Um, wtf.

I know adults celebrate Halloween and will go to parties, get a costume, etc.  But straight up door to door trick or treating for candy?  I would be stunned if an adult showed up at my door for candy  (alone, not escorting a kid).

Ol' McBratFace Had a Farm...

So I guess Mermaiding didn't last long, because I overheard Bratty in the week after our reception saying she was volunteering at a community farm.

Volunteering meaning no income.  I really think she's conned Nutter into supporting her while she 'takes a break from med school prep'.  Well, whatever.  Happy farming, Bratty.

Married!

Hi everyone!

Well SO is now officially and legally DH.

We had a lovely sunset ceremony on our Galapagos cruise, returned home for 2 days before flying off to the midwest for our reception.  It was so much fun!  We had about 50 people, half DH's family and half my family and some friends.  The food was amazing and everything went off without a hitch.  I wore a beautiful maroon and gold sari and DH looked so handsome in a cream colored tux.

Bratty McBratFace: Professional Mermaid

Yes, you read the title correctly.  But before I get into the mermaid thing, let's review Bratty's illustrious career choices post-college:

- Post-bacc 1.0 for pre-med requisites to become a doctor.  She flunked and blamed the professors for not respecting her pronouns.

- Americorps program in NorCal working at a clinic giving health education.  She quit after 4 months because the program did not change their bathrooms to gender neutral at her request.

Bratty McBratFace was un-invited then re-invited to her Aunt's house

SO and I are getting married this summer (eloping) but having a reception in the midwest for family and a few close friends.  Bratty is invited and RSVP'd yes for herself and her plus one, Nutter GF.  We were going to stay a few days after the reunion in AirBnB's after for a short family reunion for SO's clan (my family is heading out after the reception is over).

One step forward, two steps backwards - Bratty sends an email

For about a year, Bratty McBratFace (SD24) has been relatively calm (still drama but mostly not affecting me) and busy with post bacc 2.0 and with Nutter GF.

SO's family has an email chain where they send updates addresses/contact information if someone moves, etc.  

Bratty has a history of sending obnoxious emails, and in 2019 kinda hijacked this email thread to send a self-righteous email to SO's whole family about pronouns, including resources for us simple minded older people to practice our gender neutral language.
