I could have used a new blender....

So for our wedding Kirks parents gave us these financial planning classes to go to. Sounds good in theory right? Wrong. What Kirk's parents neglected to tell us was that these classes are based upon 'The Christian way of Life", like about how " a good christian is supposed to tithe a certain amount of money to the church, etc etc...". Kirk's dad even sold my mom on this shit and told her that Kirks sister and her husband took it and now they save so much money every year. Basically this whole class is common sense. Set a budget. Dont spend more than you make. Have 'Emergency Funding' in the bank at all times. The same shit your parents told you when you moved out. I feel fucking bamboozled. Its like they're trying to brainwash me. Fortunately, I'm not easily persuaded by anything and I'm way too fucking intelligent to follow them down their happy path of righteousness. Jeebus.

In other news, the kid is getting teeth and still wont sleep through the night and I'm selling a size 4 wedding gown, an ipod nano, two COACH bags and a coffee table if anyone is interested. Peace and Bacon grease.

Wow dude, that shit is ridiculous. One would only assume that by NOT donating to their retarded rightousness, you would in fact save money every year. Maybe I'm just over thinking the situation, though. I'm SO over people and their brainwashing crapola. Between religious nuts and this god damned pyramid scheme, it's getting out of hand. I'm too intelligent for these shenanigans, and so are you.

There's nothing wrong w/ being a christian but, to force your way on others, like they are, is very unchristianly. To be so un-humble/arroget as to do that is a sin... I'd politely give them a "thanks but no thanks" thanks you if I wanted to be polite about it. Your husband should also stand up for you more, and not just let his family walk all over you...
