7 months and counting.

This weekend my fiancé and I had our engagement party. It was a long day to say the least. I for one didn’t know just how it would turn out. I wasn’t sure who would show up or if any body would show up for that matter. Well I didn’t really have to worry. A lot of people showed up. Not everyone that we invited but a lot of people. I do have to say I was a bit disappointed with a couple of things. One my mom couldn’t make it to the party. My dad had to take her home because she wasn’t comfortable staying there. At this point I am not even sure if she will make it to the wedding. I am not even sure how this is going to turn out now. It also seems that my dad is hiding a few things also. Maybe a new lover, I am not even sure. While I was hanging out with him the day before he got a phone call from a woman. He said that he would call her back but it was still a little overwhelming to deal with. Then I talk to him today on Monday and he tells me he had to leave early. He had someone on his mind. I really wasn’t sure it was my mom because you would think he would say that. I have read about this. Where the spouse will become more of a care taker than spouse, I am pretty sure this is what’s going on. I am not all that happy about it right now but damn. The other thing that I am a bit disappointed in is my Brother. My brother who is in my wedding couldn’t even make it to the engagement party. He had no reason not to show up. He was told that he could get a ride; he didn’t have to worry about getting home. We had set up something where he would be able to be for the night. It’s a big pain in the ass for sure. So now I have to find people to fill out my wedding party since I am not sure I can count on my brother to make it to the wedding party. Oh yea for every good thing comes something bad. Oh joy.

Damn it lets go back to the 90's

This recession we are in has got to end soon. I mean damn man where the hell did all that money everyone was making in the 90’s go? It seems that everyone has been hit by this lately. I know I just got hit myself. I was laid off about 3 weeks ago. The reason is the company is moving half of their force to Canada. Why you ask? It has to do with getting a working visa here in the United States. When half the company is Korean they need work visas. And the company has to pay for that visa. What’s funny is the company started making money. But they feel it’s a better deal to move most of the company up to Canada so I am out of a job. It’s funny most of my friends have told me take the time off and relax and take a little bit of a vacation. Well I would if I had something line up. But I don’t, I need to work. It’s a part of me and what one of the things that my parents drilled into me. This is why even if I would win the Lotto I would still have to work. There is no way I could retire and spend the life on the couch. That is just not who I am. The job search is going slow. And with a slow job hunt means I am stuck around the house more than I would on a normal day. The little woman isn’t all that happy about that either. And when you are planning a wedding it’s never a good thing. Hell she even had to take a demotion at work so we are for sure getting less money then we did a few months ago. Combined we are making about 450 to 500 dollars less than we were. That hurts for sure. Things are tight but still do able we hope that is. Just one more hurdle to get over that is for sure.
