I'm a Facebook geek lately. But sometimes, a lot of the times, I can't bitch too much because the "bitch-ee" would see my posts. Or worst yet, my MOM is on FB and has been our FB spy, always finding out stuff from my posts or friends' posts.
ah, here goes:
I have a friend that I've known from my church for over 15 years. She's always had questionable intentions through her actions, but she and I have always got along. We aren't BFF's but we are okay in person with each other.
Ever since she got married (a year after we did) Ted and I always felt that she and her hubby would compete against us. We always got weird vibes about that.
She just had a second baby, another girl. But at her baby shower, she wanted a "Hot Mama" theme. Basically she wanted gifts that would pamper her since had all the baby stuff from her first daughter. Makes sense, right? Except that she stated specifically in the evite, in detail, all the things she wanted (manicures, pedicures, gift certificates, exercise equipment, etc.) Weird. Anyway, I got turned off by the whole thing because she kept adding to her list and texting everyone that "gifts aren't needed" and we are just celebrating the birth of the baby. I seriously kept getting email revisions of her stinking evite. In the end, I bought the big sister-to-be a subscription to a toddler magazine. I thought of if we were in their shoes, I'd like for someone to remember Melia in all the baby hoopla.
The last few days on FB, the new mama (who delivered her baby last week), has been posting that she needs a plug-in swing, play mat, etc. and she always adds "if you guys can spare this for a few months while we borrow it..."
Seriously, WTF. If she had a normal baby shower, she could have at least got gift cards to Babies R Us or something so she could use it towards baby gear. At the very least, people would have given her diapers.... you know, stuff that can be used for the baby? Her hubby should be buying her Hot Mama list.
Eh, I'm just being over-critical because she always does weird things like this. Last November, she sent out evites to her toddler's birthday party, omitting the place of the party because it was a Chargers playoff Sunday game. So it was dependent on where the Chargers were playing. Then she put in detail that "no gifts are needed" but she continued to add the dress-up stuff you can add to her new dress-up trunk.
I'm just in a bitchy mood.
