G: woman! where’d you go off to?
J: nowhere. i just got home.
G: your IM came on like oh gosh..7?
G: but I had stuff going on.
G: and I thought maybe you left
G: but you were still there.
J: really? i got home around 7:45 or so
G: well, I was talking to [name]….
G: and I saw someone on my list so I didn’t see the name….
G: and then I looked at my list and your name was on there.
G: and it is 8:45 right now BTW…so did you just get home or did you get home an hour ago missy?? Get your story straight!
J: G, i don’t think i want to marry Bob.
G: why because you can’t find a dress? Or are you serious??????
J: i think i’m serious.
G: talk to me…. what are you thinking?
J: i don’t know.
J: i just wonder if i said yes because i’m afraid of the alternative, you know?
J: and there’s a bazillion other things going on in my mind that i can’t even process.
G: well didn’t you want that before you said yes??
G: and didn’t you want this period? this is why you were still with him?
G: do you think it’s cold feet? or are you really freaking out? when did you start thinking this?
J: honestly, i get this way any time i talk about the wedding. i don’t know what the deal is.
J: and i’m trying really hard not to be a drama queen or anything. i swear that’s not my intentions here.
G: I know. well, I mean you don’t want to figure this out a year from now
G: I’m trying to think of something profound
G: Boy1 is still not back from basketball
J: who is he with?
G: [G’s Friend]
G: who had told me she wasn’t going…….
G: but then [her husband] said, “Yes we are”
G: so they were going
G: and then [her husband] had a 6pm meeting and couldn’t go
G: so I asked if Boy1 could go home with her. Not ride the bus alone
G: b/c that was the only reason I was letting him go in the 1st place (w/us not going) because [her kids] were going to be on the bus.
G: okay, but I still haven’t solved your life problems yet.
G: so you didn’t just have this panic today? you’ve been having it?
G: and where are you in your cycle? are you having a PMS freak out instead?
J: no. no PMS freak out.
J: i’m sure everything will be fine.
G: well you don’t want it to be “fine”
G: do you want me to stop interrogating you?
G: Well, if it makes you feel any differently, Boy2 told my aunt tonight how you were marrying Bob so “Now I can call him UNCLE BOB!”
J: that’s so sweet.
G: but don’t marry him because of that. Because we’ll tell him he can call him uncle Bob no matter what.
G: But you know what, kids are good judges of character
G: and Boy2 doesn’t like him because he has to.
J: i know. and that’s what’s so hard. Bob is a great guy. and i do love him.
J: and i’m sure i’m just being stupid.
J: >>> subject change<<<<
J: want to see the dresses i liked?
G: SURE
G: okay stupid. LOL
J: dress
J: dress
G: okay, I don’t love the skirt on the 1st one
G: it looks like you’re going to a cotillion or something
G: whatever that is.
G: but I love the 2nd one
J: yeah, i wasn’t crazy about it until i put it on.
J: and yes, the 2nd one is my favorite.
J: so what do you know about [name]s photography? good and bad. i know him from church, but don’t know much about his “skills”
G: when we quit going to [other photographer] we went to him a few times
G: he did an ‘ok’ job
G: it was cheaper but nothing spectacular
J: well, [name] will be about $1000 and he will be about $300
J: but i don’t want to go with cheap on my pictures
G: the one of the two boys that’s on my table behind the nose picking photo…he took that…
G: and of course kids portraits vs. wedding photos
G: not the same
G: It seems like the ones I’ve seen were pretty generic. Does he have any on his site
G: I’m trying to think of the place I loved in [town[......
G: I'm thinking........
G: if they do weddings
G: it's on Olive Street
J: well, i asked [name] (haven’t been able to talk to her yet) about just doing the ceremony because between you, [friend] & a couple of Bob’s friends we’ll have plenty of really good cameras there and i don’t necessarily want any posed photos at the reception.
G: well but she does awesome candid.
J: yeah, i know. that’s the thing.
G: I would rather have someone else do the posed crap and have HER do the candids.
J: if we just had cake at the reception i’d have plenty of money for pictures!!!
G: Boy1 is STILL not home.
G: have you called [G’s Friend]?
G: no
G: I should
J: um, yeah
G: but I figure as soon as I call
G: she’ll be coming down the road
J: probably.
G: on the way up the hill from [hicktown]
J: good. i was getting a little worried
J: seriously.
G: well, I was kinda sorta
G: but that’s my mother
G: she worries immediately
G: herself sick
G: so I’m trying really hard not to be her
J: yeah, my mom, too.
G: and reminding myself that I mean I picked [G’s Friend] OVER the bus….and trust her with my kids lives quite often. It’s not like ANY of the other parents.
J: exactly. but still you’re conscious of the time and everything.
G: oh yeah, and i KNEW it would be late…..
J: oh, well you never told me that!
J: geeze
G: LOL
G: well, the night we went to [town] it was 2 games
G: and we got home at 9:30
G: and this was 4 games
G: Okay, so I went to the basement today…….would you like to hear my adventures?
J: sure!
G: first back up a sec, did I tell you Vince is moving his office?
G: so I’m scouting for decor
J: yes
G: so I was digging around……
G: Boy1 is home

G: that’s what I keep meaning to ask you…if you got it. I want the dress on the cover
G: but OMG, $60 and it’s freaking Chadwicks!!!!!!!

J: yes, we should! tomorrow. i had fried pickles at lunch today.
G: I told Vince I reaaaaaly LOVE that dress.
