Did a 6 mile trail run in the Santa Monica mountains today and now am treating myself to Jack and cokes via room service and don’t feel “guilty” because of the hike and, because, you know I can’t go to the reception.

careful i vaguely remember getting my ass chewed out for having whiskey while watching the little ones. I probably deserved it. I mean I wasn't going crazy....but yea...i get it now.

The bro in law is in the other room.
It’s just me and mini BUD and she’s crashed.
I had two Jack and cokes for 30 bucks.

In other live blog news, we went out to lunch today and some Cali couple who were in their 50s and likely never had or were gonna have kids were bothered because we let our kids lose on the empty half of the outdoor patio and they were having serious fun and laughing. They didn’t come within ten feet of any other table. There was a freeway and bubbling outdoor water fountain as background noise.

This was a deli type place - I’d say the same caliber as a Johnnys Tavern - except twice as expensive.

As they left the guy said right to our table “aye aye aye” ( that how you spell it? ) as if we had lost control of our kids and was letting us know how bad we were.

I’ve found now, obviously, that I fucking hate people who hate kids and are vocal about it to the parents. If you hate kids, I get it, but keep it to yourself. You were a kid at some point too. Get over yourself.

I hope you winked at him.

The mother of the bride doesn’t want ties at the wedding.
Her ex ( father of the bride ) is insisting on wearing a tie.

Who will win?

No offense pdub but this sure comes off as a fucked up family.
They are debating/deciding this right before the wedding?
Who SHOULD win is/are the bride and groom and what they would like in regards to ties.

How do you know they were a Cali couple?

If it really bothered the guy and he waited UNTIL THEY LEFT to say something to you then he's a pussy, an idiot, and an asshole. We are all different but it it really bothered me I would have said something to the manager/owner of the restaurant DURING the meal to avoid direct confrontation with you. If the manager decided your kids were fine, I would accept it. If the manager decided your kids were acting/behaving inappropriately in a manner which was severely disturbing other patrons, then my hope is he/she would have addressed you and you would have respected that and done something about it.

No offense taken.
I think you could safely say the brides side is FU money type people with the FU bolded.

[pdub]

There was one half of the outdoor patio just completely empty. They were running around there. We were the last table on the edge of this empty part. And it was so loud there you could barely hear them giggling.

We definitely wouldn’t have let them run around an area with people there.

So the only thing that would bother you is seeing the kids and knowing they were having fun in this not fancy deli like restaurant.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

I'm 100% on your side with the restaurant situation and had I been there as in independent diner I would have said something to the other guy such as I'm sorry someone pissed in your pool today.
Sucks when you and your kids are enjoying a meal and someone needs to be an asshole about it.

Sorry you're dealing with all this but seems you are taking it all in stride the best you can.
Thankfully for your sake you will be back to normality soon.

Malibu is just so far opposite of the place I’d want to live in so many ways.

I’ll mark this area checked off the list and try very hard never to return.

Also I didn’t know they were a couple but assumed so given how close they were sitting ( moved their chair to sit by each other ).

Disaster.
When I earlier asked for Heaven to help us all, Heaven must not have listened.

I’m just imaging a world where people listened to me and how much better it all would have been.
