Rhi in Pink » Blog Archive » Friday Bullets: I’m on a Boat Edition

January 15, 2010 | Filed in: getting hitched,potpurri for $500

Friday Bullets are returning. You’re welcome.
I know delurking day was yesterday, but will do me a favor and delurk today? I was very, very busy yesterday and couldn’t post. I promise to come visit your blog if you do. (generous, I know)
I’d like to be excited about my 3-day weekend, but I have to work tomorrow, so I’m bitter.
The work in question is manning womanning a booth at the Portland Boat Show.
Where I’ve so far spent two days trying to refrain from hopping on a mini-yacht and singing this.
And, because I apparently can’t get enough of fluorescent lighting, I’ll be attending the Portland Bridal Show on Sunday.
I’m breaking out into a case of hives over the Bridal Show because a) I don’t have the bride gene and b) I don’t really identify with girls who do. I’m sick of hearing about my own wedding, so I sure as shit don’t want to hear about yours.
Also, today will hopefully be the end of my headlight saga.
Long story short: I got pulled over last week for my headlight being out. I got an oil change on Monday where I hoped they could replace the headlight. They could not. The headlight is a million dollars. Except, nobody carries it. I threw a fit. Then, promptly found someone who had the headlight in stock, and at the low, low price of $100.
And, let me tell you…if you ever want to feel like an idiot, take yourself to the auto parts store. They will make you feel like an idiot. ESPECIALLY if there are girls working there. BTW, hey auto part ladies? We all take different paths in life. I’m sure I know about a lot of shit that you have no clue about and I’m not talking down to you. So, cut it out. Actually, the same goes, I suppose for the men.
In other news, we’ve booked our wedding caterer. Finally. I’m excited for Oil Poached Tuna on Endive with Caviar.
I’m even more excited that we just, last night, booked our European Honeymoon Extravaganza!
Ooh! I had dinner with my favorite gal and bridesmaid extraordinaire Ash this week at Gruner, and look how they bring you the bill!
BTW, if you’re local, you have to go there now. Get the duck liver pate, the smashed potatoes, the Gruner salad, the squash dumplings and also the mushroom gratin. And, the pizza thing.
With that, I’m off to put together the perfect nautical outfit for the boat show. Ahoy!
(Abrupt, I know, but I just saw the time)

I love that you are putting together a nautical outfit. This is one of the reasons we are friends.
sizzle´s last blog ..Overheard In a Meeting

Sizz! I have sailor pants! It would be a crime not to wear them.

I lurk occassionally, have commented a couple times and now met you (yay brunch!), but I have to tell you I love your sense of humor and wittiness when you write!

Have fun at the Boat & Bridal Shows this weekend!

Your headlight cost $100?? Seriously?

I would die!! I just replaced mine and it was $4
amber´s last blog ..Friday Finds #94

I don’t have the bride gene either…and I’ve planned two weddings.

Also, TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE HONEYMOON.
Isabel´s last blog ..In which I don’t want to have to break up with you too

hi i’m delurking :)

and i love love love that you’ve been singing that song, HILARIOUS!!!
heidi´s last blog ..Delurk Thyself!

Delurked!!

Also, I’m jealous of your honeymoon!
Kyra´s last blog ..Moving forward.

Are you sure you need to go to the Bridal show? I mean, I’m just worried about you.

You seem like me, the type who gets low blood sugar in convention centers and then cries or commits acts of violence. I don’t want that for you.
melissalion´s last blog ..Stuff and Things

Oh, please, please tell us more about your European Honeymoon Extravaganza! I want to hear all about it!
Oh, and if you decide you need wedding planning support, my friend runs this business: http://eventslaureate.com/ and she is absolutely wonderful.

Delurking to ask a favor – give us the details on the honeymoon trip and then give us the details on what you plan to take clothing-wise. But you can leave out the lingerie and you don’t have to explain any carnal activity you might have planned. Because sailor pants are a heck of a lot more interesting anyway. :-)

Love your blog except that you need to post twice a day for the rest of your life to completely meet my needs. No pressure or anything

I don’t know if I have the bride gene. the closest I got to planning (or help plan) a wedding was when I told my friend that her wedding dress was ugly. It highlighted her tummy and made it look pouchy.

Clearly I am just too honest with some people. She has refused to share anything else about her wedding with me.

Also, I don’t really know why i told you that story. Hi, I’ll stop typing now.
Sarah´s last blog ..Moved.

I am with you about auto parts store workers. Just because I don’t know what type of part I need doesn’t mean I am an idiot. Although my hubby e-mailed me today saying that he went to get his oil changed and found out he needed new plugs. I had to ask him what they do. he said help the engine run! Anyways, I have been reading your blog for a few months now so I am de-lurking.
jayme´s last blog ..Brownies? What Brownies??

Delurking just because you said so – I love you blog – no idea how I found you but love your writing and attitude. Good luck with the wedding planning – I can completely relate with the BS of the whole thing. I Dj’d weddings for 6 years and saw every crazy bride/mother of the bride/family/etc you could imagine. It can be crazy!

I don’t lurk, but hello! I lack the bride gene also, and was so glad when my wedding was over and I was MARRIED.
bethany actually´s last blog ..a random pretty sunset and geeky ramblingin honor of Delurking Day

I cannot WAIT to see you in a nautical outfit.
Angella´s last blog ..Competely Unbalanced

Delurking Day bothers me a lot. But it does its job because I can’t ignore any blogger’s plea for comments on that day. So here it is. Because you asked!

Yaaay! for Friday bullets. The bullet-point kind; not, you know, actual ammunition.
Kerri Anne´s last blog ..Because My Brain Is Otherwise Occupied

there will still be mini corn dogs in addition to the oil poached tuna right? RIGHT?

I’m so envious of your European Honeymoon. It sounds spectacular.
carrisa´s last blog ..food challenge day #5

Not really a lurker, but I’ll still say Hi! I also hated the planning part of getting married. You are very brave to even think about going to the Bridal Show :)
Erin´s last blog ..Look Ma, I’m a Poseur!

Hi! I’ve commented a couple of times but I figured I would delurk too.

officially delurking. :) your honeymoon sounds amazing!
kat´s last blog ..close your eyes and listen.

I am SO glad to hear you don’t have the bride gene. It’s quiet refreshing, because I actually love wedding stuff, but it’s usually so hard listening to brides yammer on. So I adore hearing about yours.

I’m so sorry about that darn headlight. Boo!

Photos of the outfit please! :)
Angela @ Lost In Splendor´s last blog ..The Cleansing Begins

Dang it. Can I delurk even though it’s like four days later? It’s not really lurking if you know me already, right?

Man, I am slow.

fluorescent lighting doesn’t look good on anyone.
gorillabuns´s last blog ..stabbed through the heart and your to blame
