A family member of mine is getting married this weekend. Instead of being happy, I'm pissing and moaning (internally, of course) about the whole thing. It cuts into my Halloween weekend. It takes 8 hours to drive to the destination and 8 hours back. With a toddler, that means two days of travel for a 3 hour event. I was asked to be a bridesmaid. I spent $40 on a dress and $140 on alterations. The dress HAD to be floor length. Going to this event cuts into any other potential friend or family visiting. I don't even get along with this family member. I'm just participating for the sake of the family.
Ugh!! I have so many conflicted and unresolved issues with this person and the family has a general consensus to NOT bring up grievances with this person for fear of causing problems. This person has spend their entire teenage and adult life causing others problems and we don't discuss with this person because we don't want to upset them. CRAP!
I just had to type this out because there are some other people in my life who do not want to hear my complaining. So, I say, thank you. Thank you, dear faceless internet, for not judging and just being there to hear my bitching and moaning.

just sayin'
I'm not crazy about Savannah. Oh, sure, the historic homes are beautiful, there are some good entertainments, the culture is better than decent, and the people watching is top notch. But......
....I hate that everyone who lives here is looking for another place to move to or they are southern-snob. Either way, it's very hard to be friends with them.
....I hate that for all of the "food festivals" they have here (and OMG, peeps, they have one every month), the food is sub-par. Seriously, people, just because it's the south and because the perception is that everyone here is a raving alcoholic does not mean it's okay to soak your baklava in ouzu. It taste like ass.
....I hate that everything of general necessity has to be gotten to via car. I live in a great "walkable" neighborhood. I should be able to walk to most of the places I need to go to, like the doctor's office.
....I hate that crime is just something everyone here lives with, because it happens to just about everyone.
....I hate that I don't feel at home in the city that is supposed to be known for it's southern hospitality.
