Bridezilla Karen ends up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

I (F48) have known “Pat” (F48) for decades. As far as I can remember, she was fixated on having 5 children and a picket fence dream life. I slowly cut ties with her in college because she was an opportunist and I didn’t trust her. She is both manipulative and forceful. Her idea of cute rubs me the wrong way. Pat likes to walk like a penguin when she wants to elicit pity, and she usually does this when she wants to evoke the underdog narrative. I’ve never seen someone act so despicable and ridiculous at the same time.

I moved on with my life. Happily got rid of her for years. Pat eventually found me on facebook. I accepted her friend request out of politeness.

Pat has become the epitome of a permissive mother. Her (5) kids do as they please and she never calls them out. She tried to force a relationship between me and her daughters and made them call me Auntie. Pat tried to drop them at my house uninvited. Her phone calls were insistent, she tried to monopolize my time and she began to show up at my job. I created some boundaries so she tried to find loopholes. It was a nightmare.

My husband and I hosted a party for the community center (not the real name) new members. The community center is actually a very informal initiative and my husband and I mainly serve the homeless population. We prefer to help strangers instead of catering to potentially narcissistic acquaintances. We don't mind lending a hand but we have encountered truly dishonest choosing beggars.

There are other services, like one of the members who helps women get their wedding and prom dresses for free.The community center location “headquarters” is actually a farm owned by an elderly couple. There is a barn, a venue and a very nice green field with an artificial lake and some fowl. They charge for the use of their facilities (weddings , etc.) but not for community oriented stuff.

Pat had always been salty at her husband for demanding that she go back to work after baby #3. In the meantime, he worked three jobs. She demanded he get her pregnant to fulfill her dream of having 5 kids. He didn’t agree, because he was already nearly 45 and felt like he might never be able to retire. She got away with bringing new babies into this world anyway. Her fascination with being pregnant comes from all the attention she gets. She had at least one miscarriage in between each kid.

Pat latched on to our group. She never missed any of our activities. I hated having her in my house, but it was an open invitation that included virtually everyone and she was very active as an event organizer. I didn’t like the way her kids behaved. We have a designated area for parties and entertainment, but her kids ended up inside my bedroom. We ended up having to keep watch of them and enjoyed zero of our own party.

I called her days later to get my point across (regarding their overall behavior) but she completely cut me off and began talking about herself and said her kids wanted to come visit again and use our pool. I never answered that. I didn't want to say “no, I will not have your brats over”.

She also called me as summer was approaching specifically to let me know her middle daughter was bored and wanted to spend a WEEK at our home. I politely declined, citing that me and my husband have to work and cannot entertain guests. .

Pat paid no heed. Her kid called me on the weekend,calling me “auntie” and attempted to coax me by saying “Mom says you invited me to spend SUMMER with you”. I quickly clarified, and offered an explanation to avoid hurting a kid’s self esteem. Nevermind. Her daughter just hung up on me.

Pat’s facebook also showed some red flags. Some cryptic rants here and there were visible, along with friends’ comments and complaints on how she asked a particular person to watch her kids only for a couple of hours and ended up leaving them all day. Another of her friends criticized her “girls night out “ because Pat had just asked them to be patient and wait until she could pay back some money that she owed them, yet she had money to spend on Friday night outings. I thought those very public comments on private matters were more like a cry of lost patience.

Unpleasant things began to happen. Like the time she volunteered to wrap the Xmas presents for underprivileged kids. We all wanted to create a mix of less costly gifts with really nice ones. Surprisingly, some nice and eye-catching toys and games went missing but turned up under her Christmas Tree (courtesy of her mother in law’s FB posts). No one could prove anything but it was hate-inducing. Or the time my daughter called me in tears to pick her up after she attended Pat’s daughter’s birthday (Casey). My daughter had been ignored all night because she didn’t gift her the expensive gaming stuff Casey practically demanded. My daughter did ask, but I said no. We would buy her a very nice and thoughtful present according to her taste. So when I went to pick her up my daughter was sitting alone in the living room while Casey and her friends stayed outside.

Stories about Pat and her family multiplied. The owners at the farm (community center) decided keep their their gates locked unless they had guests or events because Pat got in the habit of driving in whenever she pleased and it was either her kids screaming and disturbing on-going weddings, throwing rocks at the koi in the lake or harassing the geese in the yard. Or how she stiffed another soccer mom with the lunch bill and then pulled the struggling financially card. Or how other parents hated her because she created unnecessary hostile competition.

When my daughter turned 13, I allowed her to wear my grandma’s ring. It's not an expensive piece of jewelry, but it's vintage and girls nowadays wanna look boho. My Granny gave it to me when I became a teenager so I passed it on to my kid so she could wear it on her birthweek.

It was weird that she became quiet and distracted after that. She also didn’t want to go to school and my husband and I became suspicious. She never opened up, and my other kids had no clue.

We went to her school but her teachers assured us nothing had changed in her environment. My husband and I suspected she was being bullied but our kid gave us no tools to support her. My kid is very sunny, and very compassionate. She has never had any problems with other kids. I called her best friend’s mom. Natalie, my kid’s BFF, told us what was going on. Casey (Pat’s eldest) and my daughter had become “close”. I knew this and wasn’t too thrilled. I found the age (Casey was 17) gap not exactly inappropriate but I’d rather see my daughter spend time with friends in the same age range. Casey is very beautiful and a gifted student. She is also very conceited. To make this story short, she asked my daughter if she could try on the ring and refused to give it back. She later claimed that she lost it but “would look for it” so my daughter was distraught. My daughter kept asking for her ring and as a result, Casey shunned her and spread the word that my kid was trying to steal HER ring. Some kids at school took Casey’s side. So now Casey just wore my kid’s jewelry to school like nothing happened. If that doesn’t qualify as taunting I don't know what does.

My guilt comes from not being able to get my daughter to open up and feel safe telling me the truth. I talked to her and she burst into tears. I was both pained as a mother and furious that some teenage b!tch was doing this under our noses.

I went straight to Pat’s car after school. I asked to talk as Casey was about to go in. So I grabbed Casey’s hand and asked to see her jewelry. Casey froze and she tried to make a fist, so I became relentless. Casey yelled “Mom!” and Pat struggled to get out of the car. I slid the ring off (Casey has tiny hands and wore the ring on her index finger). First Pat yelled at me. After I confronted her with the engraving on the band (my grandma's maiden name), she argued it was loaned to her daughter by my kid. Then she said she bought it. I paid no heed. I did warn them that I knew Casey had become an abusive friend to my daughter.

Pat called me to tell me off. She said she was trying to raise an assertive young woman and I had just messed that up by being “overbearing”. She never apologized for her thief of a child.

Pat's husband ( Hank) is what can be described as a doormat. Pat wore him down to a knob. He had no choice but to “obey” her to keep the peace. She was a bully who actively withdrew affection when he didn’t follow her wishes, even in public. So she got kids #4 and #5 after a relentless campaign that included leaving him for two months. Her pregnancies were a nuisance because she expected to be treated like the only lady who has even been pregnant. She strolled around in a wheelchair almost immediately after getting pregnant and she would “get very sick” on weekends, so her kids were often sent to friends and family so that she could “rest”.

Pat systematically bullied Hank. She would leave town and take the kids with her. Poor Hank would look distraught, drinking on his porch or just looking really lonely. This is how she got off the hook and was able to leave her job. Hank had virtually no voice, so he struggled to keep the marriage together. Everyone liked him, but hated her equally. Hank loved to talk to other people but seemed concerned that Pat would be upset. Over time, according to my husband, Hank began to show signs of depression and mental distress.

Our friend, Lenah, runs the wedding/prom dress initiative. It's not complicated. Dresses are sourced from donations, ebay, trunk shows, etc. Unusually beautiful dresses are retained so that more than one bride gets to wear them. In some cases, a bride will pay 50 bucks, but most of the time, the dresses are donated to the bride.

Pat was involved in this. Lenah kept her in because they never had any issues and her task was limited to just shipping the dresses out.

Pat decided to renew her vows and her bridezilla Karenzilla attitude became the icing on the cake. For starters, she bullied another couple into giving up their wedding date at the farm because she “needed her renewal to match her exact wedding date”. They were not impressed with her harassment, so they booked another venue. As a result, the farm owners were pissed because Pat was already costing them money after she had successfully negotiated a cut in their rate “because she couldn't afford it but will repay by doing maintenance work around the venue” (she never made good on her word).

Pat became attached to a particular dress that was already assigned to another bride. Lenah made it clear that she would need to pay for her own dress. So Pat played it cool and shipped the wrong gown instead. She was adamant that it was the right dress, despite all the notes on Leah’s agenda. The other bride was truly gracious about it. She was obviously disappointed, but never made a scene.

What bothered me most is that I picked that dress and bought it for 40 bucks at a garage sale (not my money, Leah’s money). It was a vintage dress, ankle length, white with lots of lace and a huge bargain. Again, when confronted, Pat “did a Casey” and used the “this is mine” strategy. We felt so bad for the other bride that we did our best to get her something nice to wear. The other bride was a true fighter, she had pulled out of welfare, earned her high school diploma and was working to get on her feet by trying to earn a certificate as an acrylic nail technician. So, her reward was to have some Karen steal her dress? Pat never admitted to messing up, but just by the fact that she claimed it was her dress, we knew.

Lenah never allowed her in her warehouse again. Their last phone fight ended with Pat bringing up the other bride’s past (like it mattered) and “this conversation is over, it's my dress and you are mistaken”. That was weeks before the other bride’s wedding.

Pat went all out on her wedding decor. She spent way too much. She hired a caterer for some food (mainly mimosas and appetizers), but the wedding invitation included a request for specific dishes for her Sunday brunch wedding. Either she ran out of banquet money or was on a complete moocher mode.I picture the penguin walking upon practically asking everyone to supply her wedding reception grub and I cringe.

There is nothing wrong with potluck weddings. In fact, they can be a nice addition to a very cozy and family oriented wedding reception. But, don’t you need to at least be close to your guests in order to ask for such a thing? Even I got an invitation. I told everyone I wasn’t going because I was very uncomfortable being told what to bring and was probably expected to give them a cash gift on top of that. Some of the older ladies in our group agreed. Some said they would not decline in advance because she is a bully and they didn’t want a confrontation.

Lenah called me the night before Pat’s re-wedding. Lenah was there to close the Saturday night bingo and Pat was awfully friendly, but that’s what she does whenever things are going her way. Lenah peeked into the garment bag and saw the exact same dress while Pat was caught up supervising the wedding decoration.

The thing with Karens is that they expect everyone to suck it up, or make their dreams come true, or they simply underestimate everyone and think we are all fools.

Lenah is a very straightforward person with a “so sue me” attitude. She told me she would just ruin the dress. After all, it was hers, so she could do whatever she wanted. If Pat wanted to take legal action, and should things get ugly, she needed to prove ownership. However, the dress was the same, the marks inside the hem and the tags were the same. Even the tag numbers that were punched to identify each dress for logistics purposes matched.

Pat had the dress altered, with some extra beading and dyed to a deep cream color. But it was obviously the same garment. Lenah and I snuck in before the venue was closed for the night. All brides are allowed to stay in a small bedroom for a small charge, so that they don’t need to drive in on their wedding day. Honestly, the makeshift chapel was gorgeous, I don’t know how she paid for it but it was full of flowers and presumptuous details. I naively brought in some ink to spill on the dress, but Lenah said she wanted “something more awful, like a nasty surprise”. Ink would be too obvious and if she saw it ahead, she may be able to snag another gown from somewhere. No, the ideal thing was to have her trust the dress was fine. So Lenah locked herself in a bathroom stall and completely cut out the back panel. She patiently put it back on its hanger and zipped the bag. We left through the emergency door with the back of the dress stuffed inside Lenah's purse. I completely hate people who target and steal from anyone they (Pat and her kid) calculate to be in a weaker position.

The wedding was scheduled at 9 AM. Pat called me at 7 AM, but I ignored her calls. I picked up by 8 AM, both curious and wondering if she suspected anything. Pat was frantic.She was crying that her dress was “missing by half”. I purposely made her explain, being annoyingly dense and continually interrupting like she does, and stalling the conversation. She asked me if I could lend her my wedding dress. I said no, sorry. She then asked me if I would help her get a dress. I was satisfied to remind her that the town's bridal shops were closed on Sunday and the others that would open were almost an hour away. The farm is already almost one hour away from our town.

If Pat could get a shop to rent a dress, she would need to try the dress on, and get it steamed. Even if the dress was ready to wear, it would easily take more than two hours (roundtrip). She tried to ask me to go pick a dress (who would pay for this??). Even if a shop were open and brought her a dress, it would add to the cost. Also, these shops open at 10 or 9:30 at earliest. By time they got to her, it would be time to wrap up the wedding because she needed to clear the venue by 12:00 for the next event.

She broke down and mumbled some stupid stuff I didn't understand. So Pat hung up on me and called Lenah instead.. She asked Lenah to bring her “anything she had available”. Lenah and I ended up delivering the most outdated, moss smelling, oversized dressed. Pat’s disappointment was a mix between angry and emotional. She also tried to wear her knee length silk bridal slip as a wedding dress but it was too obvious and it really looked cheap. She tried to get her daughter to give her her own dress to wear with an open back zipper (due to fitting issues) but Casey refused, asking if she was supposed to attend the wedding naked (she got a point, plus Casey is petite).

The dress needed a petticoat to plump up the skirt, which wasn’t available. So it dragged all over the floor and Pat had to keep pulling it up. Pat walked down the aisle with one hand on her bouquet and another one grabbing her dress. The dress looked limp and weird with the arrangements of pins (they didn’t show) that caused the sleeves and neckline to pucker into messy rims. She spent the ceremony looking uncomfortable and out of place. Very few people attended but that was not part of any revenge, that was just how people reacted to her entitled attitude.

The dress looked awful. The reception portion of the wedding had all this princely decoration, a very nice cake and a bridezilla with a dress from hell. I didn’t stay, but I was told, she was so disappointed she spent her wedding sulking. There was no dance, no actual speech. She had to change into a shirt and leggings because the dress was too uncomfortable. Everyone talked about how Pat put on her flip flops and walked around aimlessly until she ordered the ushers to start folding up the chairs within one hour of the reception. So she practically kicked everyone out and the cake was never cut.

Pat wasn’t the same after this.She was not as loud and avoided everyone. I think she was disappointed that nobody ran to her rescue, not even her family who came from out of town.

Her husband finally cracked under all the pressure and sought some help. He was slaving away and coming home to clean the house while Pat used her kids as an excuse to spend like crazy. Hank also had to do kid homework because Pat never had time or never had patience. She also refused to get a partime job so her kids could attend an afterschool and get help with their school stuff. Therapy seemed to help Hank because the last time Pat left with her kids, he didn't seem distraught. He would be riding his bicycle and could be seen more relaxed while mowing his lawn. Hank told my husband that he had contemplated suicide after their third kid. When Pat returned, he maintained the routine but was interested in going out by himself and doing things for himself. We began to see Pat alone all the time. Hank was seen less and less in the same car and eventually moved in with his parents. He filed for divorce on the grounds of emotional cruelty and I don't think he won. Instead (I’m not sure of this because this is what I was told) there was some sort of a settlement or agreement that she would not get close or interact with him unless it has to do with the kids).

I also don’t know if Pat even actually suspected who/what happened to her dress. She slowly pulled away from the community center and became less active in social gatherings. Pat also removed me from her facebook as well as mostly everyone else from school and the center.

TLDR

Bridezilla stole a wedding dress from an underprivileged woman. The actual dress owner destroys her big day.

december 3rd, 2017. Maybe at Christmas Eve after being with H and his family for a couple of days the whole Styles family and the missus would be sitting under the Christmas tree and opening presents. There would be a little box with the name of our lady and inside of it there would be a promise ring and Harry would be the cutey he is and go up to the missus and tell her a little monologue then put the ring on her finger.

december 4th, 2017. Harry and the miss being best friends and he takes her home to celebrate Christmas and he takes her virginity on Christmas Eve.

december 10th, 2017. I just love the idea of them having a brand new baby around Christmas time

december 11th, 2017. btw, you should write one a about Uni Harry and Y/N spending Christmas with Y/N’s family for the first time and him begin all awkward at the begging and everybody asking them how they met and what his goals in life are and yeah I think that’d be reallyyyyyy cute

december 13th, 2017. Set in 2017. The missus Amelie and Harry spend Christmas with Gemma and Anne and Michal at Anne’s Home x

blogmas, 2018.

december 1st, 2018. someone else mentioned pubes talk, and I thought it would be hilarious if Harry was trying to do something romantic like cooking a Christmas Eve meal but naked and there was singe-ing (not singing!).

december 2nd, 2018. Are you doing Alex requests for Blogmas? If so, maybe his and Y/N’s first Christmas together since the war and he decides to propose to her?

december 3rd, 2018. what about pornstar harry making a festive christmas special w y/n?

december 4th, 2018. What if the missus gives Harry a gift on December 1st and it’s like an advent calendar but each day is a new position/place to have sex up until Christmas.

december 5th, 2018. Could you do maybe a sadder one after Ellie and Alfie’s miscarriage and for Christmas they all cheer him up

december 6th, 2018. Maybe they’re in la for Christmas one year because of Harry’s work when Persephone is like 4 and she’s missing the snow and does like being away from the UK for Christmas and harry just feels really bad like he ruined Christmas

december 8th, 2018. Did doctor harry having to work on Christmas

Soulmate/Serendipity-ish idea: Starts with Malex as maybe 8/9 yrs old. Alex sees this cute curly haired boy who is mute, made fun of because he's in foster care, wears ratty clothing, etc. It's xmas and feels for him so he gives him one of his gifts or something. They connect even though Michael is mute. He moves away and they always wonder about one other thru the yrs. They are each other's ideal. Yrs later at xmas they run into one other and their connection is still cosmic and fall in love!!!

silent nightmichael/alex, pg

When Alex was younger, heand his mother had a special only-for-them tradition after Thanksgiving. Theholiday itself was always fraught with tension in the Manes household, seeingas she didn’t like to celebrate it, but Jesse insisted. Her imposed traditionhad been a deliberate defense against Jesse’s demands, and one that she’dshared with all the boys, but these days, it’s only Alex who wants to go.

His brothers have decided they don’t want to be a part of this. They’ve sidedwith Jesse, even if they haven’t admitted to it aloud. They bundle up and head to the group home in Roswell just as the decorationsare going up, because his mother has always been adamant about making surethose kids get just as much of a holiday as the Manes boys do. Alex has a giftin his hands and he’s allowed to decide who gets it, while his mother talks tothe volunteers and delivers the cookies that she’s made.This year, Alex is eight and he’s feeling grown up and mature, definitelymature enough that he doesn’t need his Mom holding his hand. Heading into thegroup home, he sees one of the boys scribbling in a notebook. His hoodie hasholes in it, and his hair looks matted and tangled. Instantly, Alex knows.That’s who deserves his present.“Can I give a gift to him?” he asks one of the volunteers, pointing to the boy.The woman looks somewhat wary. “You can,” she allows, “we’ve given him the nameMichael, but he doesn’t speak. He can understand you, but he won’t talk back.That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try.”Alex nods with eager purpose as he heads over with the wrapped gift in hand.Awkwardly, he waves, and walks over to his side. He hears the lady behind himwhispering (too loudly) about the other children that Michael had come in with,but the Evans had adopted them. They’d left Michael behind.The youngest child in a family full of boys who worship their father, Alexunderstands what it’s like, to be left out. “Hi,” he greets him. “I’m Alex,” he says, gesturing to himself as he sitscross-legged across from the other boy. “Can you show me how to sign that?” heasks hopefully, and watches as the curly-haired boy begins to move his fingersthrough the letters.Alex watches him and mirrors each action. They go through it three times beforeAlex feels comfortable to do it on his own. Then he signs A-L-E-X, hello,before pointing to the wrapped present, holding it out for him.Michael points to himself, but the furrow of his brow tells Alex that it’s notas clear as he’d hoped it would be. Alex wonders if it’s the first present he’sever received and suddenly his own life seems a lot better. Maybe this is whyhis Mom brings him here. Still, Alex pushes the present a little moreaggressively.“For you,” he agrees. It’s not an exciting gift, as far as Alex is concerned. It’s just a knit scarfthat his Mom made, but when Michael leans over to stick the bow on Alex’s hairand then rips excitedly into the paper, Alex wonders if the gift inside mattersat all. Maybe it’s just that someone is thinking of him. When he opens the boxand pulls out the scarf, his eyes widen and he squeezes his hands tightly inthe fabric, burying his face in it. He doesn’t speak, but his breath startshitching with sobbing breaths that make Alex scramble over to hug his newfriend.“No, no, no, no,” Alex mumbles. “I’m sorry! No, it’s a gift! It’s for you!” Isit that bad? Maybe he should’ve convinced his Mom to buy a Game Boy orsomething better for them to give away.Michael shakes his head rapidly and makes a few gestures with his hands thatAlex doesn’t understand. He wildly looks over his shoulder for help, and one ofthe volunteers comes by so Michael can sign it again.

“He says he loves it,” she tells Alex. “And says thank you, for the present.”Alex gives Michael a tentative smile and leans in to hug him again, a littletighter than before. He feels safe, like he could hug him for hours, and theappreciation for such a simple present reminds Alex that you don’t always needsomething with bells and whistles.Sometimes, a present from a friend is everything. “Happy Christmas, Michael,” Alex wishes when his Mom comes to collect him. “I’llcome visit again, okay?” He signs his name again, then points to himself, andthen to Michael. “I’ll come back.”Michael nods at him, his curls bouncing, and he hugs the scarf tightly to hischest. It’s the last image that Alex has of this beautiful, gracious, amazingboy before he goes back home to his life. Alex goes back to the group home a week later. This time, he brings somemittens to match the scarf along with one of his old CD players and some CD’s. Heleans on the desk and asks if he can see Michael, but the lady at the desklooks at him, then the gift, before saying absently, “He’s not here anymore. Hewas brought home by a foster parent, they moved to Santa Fe.” It’s a good thing, right? Michael’s found a family and right before theholidays, so Alex should be happy for him, but he can’t help feeling a bolt ofsorrow for the connection that he’d only just developed and has now alreadylost. That should be the last of it. It should be, only Alex can’t let go of the image in his head of Michael. Through his early teenaged years, he wonders what Michael is doing. He thinksabout the group home and he hopes that the family that took Michael in is agood one. He thinks about the way he’d taken Alex’s gift reverently, as ifnothing else had been more important. He thinks about the shy smile on his faceand his kindness as he’d taught Alex sign language, reaching over to help himwith his fingers.When Alex is fifteen, he starts wondering about Michael in different ways. He wonders what he looks like, now that they’ve grown up. Is he tall? Lanky?Are his curls still so soft-looking and would they be perfect to touch? Has hefound a family that will give him proper-fitting clothes? Has he got someonethat he’s dating that gives him gifts at Christmas?Then, at seventeen, Alex doesn’t have to wonder anymore.“Class, we’ve got a late transfer in,” his English teacher announces. There’sno one standing there, and most of the class isn’t paying attention (perusual). “I’d like everyone to be patient. He can understand you, and hear you,but he doesn’t speak, so we’ll be learning some basic ASL through the year, sowe can communicate and round ourselves out.”The tip of Alex’s pencil breaks in the middle of the doodling he’s doing. Hestares up at the front of the class, his heart pounding in his chest. “Please welcome Michael Guerin, everyone,” the teacher says, and gesturestowards the door. Alex stops breathing when he sees him walk through the door. If ever he’d doubtedthat they had a connection that day, this moment proves that he hadn’t beenmaking it up. Michael waves to the class, but in the midst of that, he lockseyes with Alex and stops in his tracks. It’s been years, but Alex wonders ifhe’s been recognized and if nine years doesn’t make that much of a difference.His heart starts to beat faster when Alex realizes the only empty desk in theroom is the one beside him. When Michael walks down the aisle to claim thedesk, Alex stares at him and realizes that he’s wearing Alex’s scarf,the one he’d given him years ago.Hi, signs Alex. I was hoping I’d see you again.In the intervening years, he’s picked up more than a thing or two. The hopethat he’d one day get to see Michael again had driven him on, but now is hischance to actually show that off. Michael looks impressed as he sits besidehim, reaching over to squeeze Alex’s fingers in the middle of signing, smirkingat him as he presses a finger to his lips.He’s shushing Alex for speaking ASL in class.Alex huffs out a fond laugh, shaking his head, and buries his head in hisnotebook, his fingers tapping anxiously and nervously, even though he has somuch more he wants to tell Michael and show him. When he glances over, he seesthe way Michael’s gaze lingers on Alex’s varnish-coated nails and Alex swallowsback his nerves.For all that he’s developed a crush on an idealized version of a boy he oncemet, it’s nothing compared to meeting him again and realizing thatthere’s absolutely something between them. Over the next few weeks, Alex makes sure that Michael always has somewhere toeat. They sit together under the bleachers sharing lunches and blankets,especially when Alex learns that Michael doesn’t have anywhere to live. Hissituation has only grown worse and he’s living in the back of the truck.He learns about the man who adopted him all those years ago and wishes thathe’d been more vocal about getting his parents to give Michael a home, but hecan’t go back in time. He can only move forward and do something about now.Nervously, Alex tells Michael about the shed. “You should stay there,” he says.“If I can give you a Christmas present, it’s that.” He signs the same toMichael, and gives a sheepish smile when Michael reaches over to fix Alex’sfingers when he signs the wrong word. Then, Michael doesn’t let go, only shiftsso that he’s holding Alex’s hand while they eat their sandwiches.Alex thinks the offer goes unnoticed, but two nights later he’s taking out thetrash when he sees a light on in the shed. He doesn’t go inside, but he peeksin and sees Michael on the futon, curled up and reading a book. Alex smiles tohimself and heads back inside, making sure that he brings some dinner around tothe shed.That’s how things continue as the days turn colder, getting closer to theholiday itself, and bringing with it a need for Alex to find the perfect gift. He thinks he has an idea for that, at least. He’s seen the way the other boyeyes his guitar, which means that he has one part of the gift done. The otheris easy, too, it just requires practice to make sure that his fingers are doingthe right thing so that when he signs his message, there’s no confusion. On Christmas Eve, Alex sneaks into the shed wearing a Santa hat. The gift is already hiding behind the futon, wrapped, and he’s the rest of it.He knocks lightly and gives Michael an encouraging smile. His father doesn’tlike that they’re giving Michael the shed as a space to sleep in, but Flint hadbeen the one to point out that giving a mute homeless kid a roof over his headis pretty much the most basic human kindness, then had called their Mom to backhim up, which had shut Jesse up. It’s not like Michael is invited to dinner, but he’s also not about to getkicked out.Hi, he signs on his way in. “Merry Christmas, Michael.” He almostbounces as he settles in on the couch opposite Michael, sitting cross-leggedwith a box in his hand. Michael grins at him and signs back a hello, then, you didn’t have toget me anything.“I got part of this for you ages ago,” Alex admits, and passes him the box withthe mittens in it. He’s had to make new ones to match the scarf (seeing asMichael’s hands won’t fit the version he made a decade ago), but they stillmatch the scarf and they’re still hand-knit. Alex loves the feeling he gets ashe watches Michael open it. It's the same as it was a decade ago, that certainty deep down that his gift isloved and appreciated. The Walkman and CD’s had been given away ages ago, butAlex reaches behind the couch for the guitar with a bow on it, handing it overwith a raise of both of his brows.Déjà vu hits him hard when Michael signs, for me?That lump in his throat is hard to swallow past, but he nods as Michaeltakes it from him reverently. His fingers almost tremble as he slides them overthe strings, closing his eyes as he soaks up the few notes he plays. He seemsto know a few chords, and Alex sinks back onto the couch, watching him enjoyhis gifts for a few minutes. He could stop here, but he knows it’s important to keep going.The last time Alex gave Michael a gift, he’d been gone a week later. He can’trisk that again. Alex inhales deeply, “And there’s one more gift,” he says, reaching out to getMichael’s attention. Even though he knows that Michael can hear every word andunderstand it, it doesn’t matter. It means more that he’s learned this,in his mind.Maybe it’s too much, maybe it’s stupid, but Alex has known Michael Guerin sincehe was eight and he thinks he’s fallen in love with the idea of the man beforehe came back. Then, he’d returned and Alex fell even deeper in love, even if itwas with someone new. He knows, now, that he loves him. He knows that he’s inlove.It's why he feels comfortable signing it.“Michael,” Alex says, and fluidly signs what he’s been meaning to say formonths.I love you.Michael’s eyes widen and he replies with a, Really? “Really,” Alex promises. “I do. I love you, even if you’ve only been back awhile. It feels like longer. It feels like we just…”Connected, Michael signs, and Alex nods, knowing that it’s the exactword he would’ve used to describe it, too. It’s been years since they met andit had been an innocent meeting back then, but Alex has thought about him forso long and the man himself has exceeded every single dream and fantasy.How could he not feel like this?“I wanted you to know,” Alex rambles, not noticing how Michael is inching intowards him. “We missed out on so many holidays and I owe you so many othergifts, but…” He would keep going, but Michael grabs him by the cheeks and yankshim in for a kiss, stunning Alex into speechlessness. It takes him a few moments, but he melts into it, his eyes falling shut as hedrifts forward, tangling his fingers in Michael’s hair as he kisses him back,indulging in each tiny little sound he earns from Michael that he’s never heardbefore, but also the softness of his lips, the mild scratch of the fuzz he hasgrowing on his cheeks, and how warm he is.It's a better gift than Alex could have ever dreamt of asking for. Alex only leans back long enough to stare at Michael’s lips for another moment,then to his hands, which are moving. Alex, kiss me again, and he grins,because he’s spent the intervening years of their separation learning plenty ofASL just in case and there’s no mistaking those words.Kiss had been one of the first things that he’d learned that made himblush, but then he’d practiced it. With his hands, with his lips, with hisimagination.And now, with Michael Guerin, within a stone’s throw of Christmas, he intendsto keep practicing until his lips and his fingers ache.

HQSS2019!Beginnings

Hello all! And welcome to the #HQSS2019 ! Or, to not use the tag, Haikyuu Secret Santa 2019.

I am super excited to do this with everyone and hope you are also!

Dates:

Now! Some dates to save. Everything should be counted in EST. As it is the easiest time zone for me to quickly regard in comparison to my own.

11.10: Signups to participate have officially closed. Sorry, but if you missed signups, try again next time.

That being said, if I just forgot to tag you, immediately message me and I will correct my mistake as quickly as possible.

11.21: Participants must send me their “introduction” as detailed below by the 21st. It’s a bit longer period because I understand that sometimes internet cramps out, and life gets busy. But, if I don’t get the “introduction” by the 21st, I will unfortunately have to cut that participant.

11.26: Find out who you get to create for and started planning/working your best (:

11.26-12.24: get to know your person (rules on how detailed below).

12.25: Post your gift as either your own post tagging your gift-ee, or as sending in a post to them.

Red, what exactly is a secret santa?

Good question, I explained a little to those that haven’t done this before but hopefully this post clarifies any leftover reservations.

This is an event to share our love for the beautiful HQ characters that have connected strangers across the globe for years. With the new season finally getting a time to shine in just a short while now, the fandom is getting hyped all over and we want to show our own variation of love and support.

Specifically. You will get a person assigned to you that you must create a type of gift for (and someone will also get you). The idea is that all the gifts will be sent out on Xmas, and you can finally learn who had you! If you ever have done a SS irl, it isn’t that much of a difference. Really the only thing that is different are the rules and regulations detailed below.

“Introductions”

Firstly, ALL forms of ‘ART’ are welcome! Whether its writing a fic, drawing, headcannons, mixtapes, its good to go. Because the goal is to have fun, and show appreciation for the characters and other members of the fandom.

Thus, people will need to know about their person. As either an ask or a message, each participant should send me the following inscription format, filled with their own responses. (I have filled in mine as an example)

Name/Nickname/Name to be called and pronouns: Red, she/her

Email address (for generator to send you your person): [email protected]

Type of ART you want to create: Fic

Type of ART you want to receive: Fic

Your favorite characters/pairings (what do you want in your gift): any boy over 6ft tall/fem!reader

Characters you will not create for: Yachi

Characters you are confident to create for: Kuroo and Bokuto

Things about you: I am a HS math teacher. I played volleyball growing up and now coach it. I love chicken and most sweets. Bubble tea is an addiction I am not even trying to get over. I love movies. I currently live in China, so life be crazy. And I am 6ft tall so I have a bias towards guys who are taller than me.

Rules and Regulations:

First rule is to have fun.

Second, to show appreciation for one another as fans of the same works.

Third, stay anonymous!!!

This is to say that participants should have anon turned ON.

If you are not comfortable with that, tell me now. That way I can work it out so that the person who has you sends their messages to me and I send them to you.

Or, just don’t ask a question directly to your person. Ask to the whole group, and then no one will know who it is actually secretly directed at.

I have a discord group created for all the participants. You can go and just talk HQ, or life, or ask questions to sneakily find out more about your person, etc. I will send the link to everyone as soon as I can. If you do not receive the link by Nov. 12th, shoot me a message to remind me,

Fourth, enjoy your own work.

Fifth, send out your gifts by Dec. 25th at 11:59pm EST with the tagg #hqss2019

And, finally, enjoy the work you are gifted.

This event is, again, for all of us fans of the same work to come together and appreciate it and each other. There is no reason for anyone to be rude or disrespectful to anyone else.

Emergency drop-outs:

If you have to drop out of the event for any reason at all, please let me know as soon as possible. I understand that things happen in life.

If it happens before the peoples are assigned, there’s no major issue, but if after I will need to make sure that no one is left “empty-handed” on the day of sharing.

Participants Tagged under the cut!

Participants:

@supern-a-vengers @bokunotan @twirlergirl1206 @magictwunkspider @global---weaboo @haikyuuball @sevensus @tinypotatoo @kzombi3 @haikyuu-honeys @senpai-writes @calicoloves @kuroast @kosekiko @summon-the-stars @honey-shippies @haikyuu-baikyuu @sfw-haikyuu-nsfw @oinkawater @kurokoxstraydogs @kevindyy @haikyuu-tee @haik-utie @how-to-voleebol @haikyuu-philia @drenchedlettuce @ninliane

Gifts for Xmas

To my best friend.

Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling.

Hoy es Navidad y no puedo creer que esté compartiendo esta ocasión con nuevas personas. Con esto me refiero a que, si bien antes nos conocíamos, este año te hiciste realmente importante para mí y aquello lo valoro como no tienes una idea. ¡Eres lo mejor que me pasó! Siempre me salvaste el trasero y siempre estás ahí para mí, sin importar qué.

Es por esto, que he hecho una selección de regalos para esta festividad, y espero que los disfrutes mucho porque han sido pensados para ti únicamente. Te amo mucho.

If you’re having a hard time today, here’s a baby Yoda dressed as Santa to cheer up your day.

No te preocupes, se puede ser fanática de Baby Yoda sin, necesariamente, ser fanática de Star Wars (we know it, we are not those kind of Star Wars people).

Espero que te guste mucho Baby Yoda tejido, es para que adornes tu habitación o incluso, duermas abrazada a él. Te amo.

My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others.

Para la fanática más grande de Clueless o Ni Idea, no dudo de que este atuendo será increíblemente perfecto para ti. Por más de que te enojes porque digo que tienes cara de pendeja, todo te queda demasiado bien y aquello me hace feliz, #TodosQueremosSerComoTú.

The smells of Christmas are the smells of childhood.

Cuando hablas de Disney, lo haces con una emoción que me fascina. Es por esto, que otro de mis regalos se basa en tus gustos, en tus pasiones. Winnie the Pooh es el mayor ejemplo de la amistad que tiene Disney y por esta razón, te regalo un colgante de la tienda de Disney, con el motivo de darle un sentido aniñado y feliz, y fortalecer nuestro lazo en este aspecto. Me haces feliz. Nuestra amistad tiene los valores de estos preciosos dibujitos animados.

Christmas gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us.

“Todo va a estar bien. Mientras nos tengamos la una a la otra, las dos vamos a estar bien.” – Serena van der Woodsen.

Porque compartimos cosas con todo el mundo, a excepción de nosotras mismas. Así que, ahora, tendremos una taza para la otra, para que, cada vez que estemos alejadas, nos acordemos de que estamos allí, a pesar de no ser físicamente.

Teacher says every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.

Para la amante de los cachorritos, te dejo una imagen que va a, definitivamente, alegrar tu día. Mira la carita hermosa que tiene.

Y ahora mismo, estoy exactamente con la persona que quiero estar. Mi mejor amiga.” – Serena van der Woodsen

¡Te amo tanto! Gracias por ser tan especial y por estar siempre allí. Nadie es como tú, ni nadie ocupa tu lugar, eres inigualable e irreemplazable. Gracias por haber entrado a mi vida y cambiarla realmente. Sin ti, no sé qué haría.

Me apena mucho que la gente te haya dejado ir, porque eres una amiga única y asombrosa en cada aspecto. Les digo fácilmente que #FuckThemAll, porque si no fuera porque te botaron de sus vidas, no estarías aquí, siendo mi mejor amiga y mi fiel compañera de vida.

Cuando preguntas qué es lo que te hace tan especial, es tu disposición, tu magia, tu esencia propia de ser tan buena persona, para nada egoísta, y estar allí en cada momento, sea lo más leve o lo más complejo del mundo. Además, tus ánimos de luchar por lo que quieres son excelentes. Eso es lo que nos hace querer ser como tú, en general, porque lo tienes todo y quien te haga de menos, está equivocadísimo o tiene pura envidia.

Espero con ansias que este año 2020 sea tu año, porque, luego de tanto sufrimiento por idioteces que duelen como la gran mierda, tienes que tener tu momento para ser feliz —y no necesariamente tu momento de «brillar» con respeto a la atención ajena—.

Te amo mucho. Eres lo mejor que me ha sucedido. Mi hermana de otra madre, mi confidente, mi fiel compañera.

¡Feliz Navidad, Anna Sophia!

De todo corazón, la amiga que más te ama, aprecia, y daría todo por ti.

Sincera y atentamente,

Greer Krygsveld.

Navidad 2019.

One of the things I love about styling a large press event or launch is that, at their best, they feel like you are ‘putting on a show’ the lights, the grease paint ... Occasionally, in pitches or design meetings I’ll drop in an idea unashamedly theatrical as an optional extra and it’s a joy when a client says ‘let’s do it!’ My love of a production started with a genius teacher at my primary school, Mrs Rayworth, who knocked a load of under 11’s into shape in some amazing productions. I wrote her a lengthy email last year telling her how much I loved these shows. In reverse order, I was in: ‘Joesph and his amazing..’ - I played a brother, Dan. I wanted to audition for a larger roll but my appendix burst during audition week. I had one line, which I seem to remember was something about goats blood. We tackled ‘The Gondoliers’ in which I was, curiously, a gondolier. (Is that correct? I mean the person not the boat) Then, Mary Poppins. If you were the chorus you had to work hard with a bunch of rolls so, I was a toy in the finger clicking scene (a bridegroom next to my bride, Nina Willis) a chimney sweep (we made chimney brushes in that weeks art class with black paper and bamboo poles) a chirpy cockney in the ‘Supercal...’ song and a kite flyer (more paper and bamboo poles) and finally ‘The Wizard of Oz’ again, multiple appearances here and having to U turn in diverse rolls: a munchkin, a soldier in the Emerald City and a flying Monkey. We didn’t actually have a stage, so did our productions ‘in the round’ in the sports hall with ‘rostrum’ in the centre, creating performing heights. Rostrum were, incase you didn’t know, carpet topped blocks to create height for various purposes. Just the word ‘rostrum’ gives me a faint shudder of excitement. ‘Final call class two, would all flying monkeys make their way quietly to the sports hall’ 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 #christmas #xmas #christmastree #christmasdecor #handmade #love #merrychristmas #santa #winter #christmastime #gift #christmasgifts #holidays #holiday #gifts #christmasiscoming #christmasdecorations #santaclaus #snow #leejackdesign #christmasgift #like #noel #art #instagood #christmaslights #family https://www.instagram.com/p/B6C-uxbBs55/?igshid=1er85a0v97cpq

Aside from my usual routine, I spent some time yesterday reading very insightful posts on Tumblr and watching my favourite content creators on YouTube, and then journalling some of the ideas that I gathered. I am working on better defining who I am as a teacher and I think part of the process has to go through incorporating social media into teaching - and vice versa. So, I thought I really needed to allow some indulgent energy in, which is why today I will be talking one of my favourite things ever: zChocolat! Tip: keep reading to the very end for their Black Friday offer!

And wowie, it’s been a long while since I last wrote about them. But there were very good reasons moving me to write. Firstly, their Holiday collection is out - this year it features gift boxes showcasing Paris's iconic monuments beneath snowflakes and a sleigh. Quick fact: la basilique du Sacré-Cœur is one of my favourite sights in the world and the part of Paris I love the most! Secondly, since the last time I wrote about these wonderful chocolates, some new procts have come out. This box, the Xmas Tea & Chocolate zBox 45, features them.

I would like to present their teas first. There are two varieties, Aube and Crépuscule (Dawn and Twilight). Aube is a fruity and tropical green tea, which features a wonderful flavour of passion fruit scented by petals of rose, marigold and cornflower. It was created with their Exotic assortment in mind - which comes in this box too, and includes ganache and praline fillings with coconut, lemon, rose, coriander, pistachio, sesame, or violet. Crépuscule is a spicy black tea, reminiscent of masala chai as it includes cinnamon bits, cloves, green cardamom, pink peppercorn, ginger, coriander, sweet apple bits and orange wedges, which pairs perfectly with the Traditional assortment - also included.

The other new addition is the zBars range. These chocolate bars are very similar to their Z chocolates (which as you can see in other reviews feature two different fillings including praliné), but instead of the caramel there is a biscuit filling. This translates to a less sweet (and way crunchier) treat that tastes like heaven. With two dark chocolate and one milk chocolate bars, this box gets rounded and offers many different options for a variety of palates. Though I absolutely love their Zs, the bars have quickly become my family’s favourite.

zChocolat offers way more than exquisite chocolates: it delivers an indulging, luxurious experience that works great as a gift, but which is also peak self-care. Now, something I already mentioned at the beginning: starting Black Friday until Cyber Monday, they are doubling the amount of chocolate on all orders placed online at no additional cost. Paired with their worldwide express delivery, this in an irresistible offer!

What Am I doing at the Magnolia Table?

Hey there!!

If you’re reading this you’re probably asking yourself if it’s a post worth your time and hopefully your 5 sec scroll, scroll, stop attention span has given you time to pause here with me. My name is Rachel, a small town west texas girl, mom of 4 little humans who are my everything and also take my everything to keep up with. I am a former high school science teacher who now fancies herself an IG Public Figure, Entrepreneur, Fitness Influencer. My life is pretty busy filled with to do lists, laundry, homework, & parent teacher meetings on top of the additional daily tasks of my Mom-Boss side hustle.

It’s because of this non-stop mania where I serve others, seemingly, all day long that I’ve decided to spend the next 365 days very much like Julie Powell did back in 2002. If you’ve never seen the chick flick Julie & Julia then add it to your watch list on Netflix because #1 its a good one, and #2 this blog will make so much more sense to you when you do. I happened to watch this movie a couple nights ago with my husband (who sat through the entire thing with me almost as in to the movie as I was btw) when she to found herself uninspired and wondering what her purpose and happiness in life was to be found.

Unlike Julie I am not a writer, I did not go to school to become a journalist, novelist, or professional blogger of any kind. I’ve worn many hats in my short 33 years of life but never those. The closest I come to being a good cook are the “fancy” meal ideas I make for Xmas and Thanksgiving from my hand-me down Home Living Cookbooks. Which i usually eat happily while the others around me would much rather enjoy a Sonic burger. Before that my cooking skills came from my grandmother, who made simple meals of meat and potatoes, or your typical Mexican dishes with beans and rice usually being the main course since money wasn’t always available for the meats. I added to those “skills” working for McDonald’s at the age of 14 and continued on learning by reading recipes as the internet became more available to me. Showing my age there huh.

As any rebel girl does I did not marry out of high school, I went to a small college where I worked two jobs and lived off ramen and campus cafeteria food. Later on I became a nurse out of necessity. I became a mother at age 21 and did the right thing by everyone but me and married young. As a nurse I was following in my mother in laws footsteps ( a woman I very much adore and who I hope to make proud with everything I do.) it was there that I learned a few new things about cooking Mexican food, had cookbooks readily available & more free time to play with a full kitchen.

I have always enjoyed being in the kitchen. Feeding people and gift giving are my love languages. As a young girl I would watch my mom make her simple foods with what little we had, steal a tortilla any time I could, As a teen my grandmother gave in to letting me be the one to help her in the kitchen since no one else would volunteer and she couldnt get rid of me anyway.

Soon after my oldest was born and I was done with nursing school my husband and I realized we just were not compatible, I moved into an on campus dorm with my son in tow and started working on my next goal, my bachelors in Biology. I went to school full time, hired a nanny and worked night shift on the weekends. Just to be able to afford the gas money for my work commute on the weekends & the young college student who watched my son during class. My student loans covered everything in between one semester at a time. Soon after I met the young man who would soon become the father of my second son ( months later) and 2 beautiful daughters (years later) , my husband, & my best friend.

The next 3 years went by faster than I can remember, with days filled with my own homework, classes, and playtime with my boys, & my nights filled with caring for the local seniors at the retirement home. Any days off were spent working my second job 80 miles a way, managing at the same place that gave me my start. I kept learning new ways to cook, bake & expanded my print out recipe collection.

Graduation came and went like a whirlwind. The day most people are excited about freaked me out. Here I was to leave what had been my home for the past 3 years to go out into the real world. My routine of in and out of campus buildings, familiar fresh paint smells, professors rushing past & lazy freshmen littering the quad between classes was all I had known. The routine of overworking myself and stretching myself thin had also become normal. Checking boxes of what was right by society was also very normal.

After graduation I moved back in with my mother in law. I worked at the local nursing home at my usual night shift & the pressure of finding my own place and being a grown up on my own was on!! And it was heavy!! Not because anyone placed it on me but because I expected it of myself. Within a few short weeks I had applied to jobs using my newly acquired degree as leverage, or so I thought. After a few weeks went by I panicked I spent the afternoon spilling my guts and fears about student loan repayment to my mother in law who suggested I teach. “Just jump into the certification course in Midland, I’ll call Gil Ray.” She was the Head of all the school nurses after all, and new the people who I needed to talk to. Within a week I was interviewed, hired, and on the right track to taking a blitz certification course 2 hours away.

Its seemed like the right thing to do at the time since I was already a mom of two little boys and a single momming it. This is probably the first time I admit this openly to anyone outside of my immediate family, but I had zero interest in becoming a teacher. I was afraid of moving out of the small town we lived in & leaving my family & support system. So I did what looked right & even though I felt less for it. I know it seems I am rambling on and this is supposed to be a dialogue about food and what an amazing recipe is in store for you, but like I mentioned before I’m not here as a writer to dazzle you with my own original new recipes or as an amazing cook/chef or foodie, simply a mama on her journey to figure out her place in this world.

Between the time of my certification and Day 1 of my new job I had reunited with my college flame, baby daddy & did the grown up thing and moved in together. We continued to grow our family & I continued to feed them with loving recipes when I had time, which turned out to be the weekends (when i wasn’t coaching) and holidays when I would hope to impress friends and family with my amazing skills.

Fast Forward 5 years and you’ll find me leaving that teaching job, working for myself as a virtual health and wellness coach, helping mamas lose that baby weight, eat healthier and do the same for their friends and family too. You’ll find me back here at my table, with a little girl in tow, free time to think about my purpose in life and how I might find what lights my fire. I love what I do but something tells me I am meant for something different in life. I’m not sure what and to be honest, I feel selfish for thinking I have the right to know. Especially when so many before me didn’t have the luxury to even realize they may have been meant for more.

My hope is that over the next 365 days of me doing what I enjoy, what I love may come to mind, I might be blogging one night and spark a conversation with myself and know once and for all “this is it”.

Whatever that might be.
