Okay... Here is my situation....
My husband and I genuinely like his brother(my brother in law.)I'm going to call him "Jack", and we will call his fiance' "Jill". We don't really like Jill that much, she's very.... loud. She also tends to "Crawl" all over him when they visit. Keep in mind these details too:
Jack and Jill live about 20-30 mins away.
We see them every sunday at church
My husband and I are in our lower 20's, same as Jack and Jill.

Now... by "Crawling" all over Jack I mean... If Jack lays on the floor on his belly at our house to play with our cat, Jill will lay RIGHT on top of him. If he is sitting on the couch, she sits in his lap, or lays across the couch with her head in his lap. Leaving room for no one else to sit there. We do have a love seat also, but that isn't the point. If he goes to the kitchen, she goes too. Sometimes Jack will tickle Jill when she is sitting on him. I think (this is my point of view) that Jack is just trying to get her off of him without being mean. Jack is the kind of person that lets people walk all over him. I feel SO bad for him !!!!

We do like to do stuff with them, because my husband and Jack are very close. Before we got married, Jack and my husband lived together.
We sometimes invite them out to eat with us, after church. Or sometimes we invite them over during the week for dinner.......
Now last week, I took Jill over to our new house (its in construction right now) to look at it. She wanted to see, the guys didn't want to go. They were visiting. On our way out there she said "I think Jack and I are going to start coming over every wednesday to hang out for a little while before he has to go to church worship practice. So that they (Jack and My husband) can spend more time together). I said "Okay.. That sounds like fun. They'll really like that." Then she said " And we can have dinner and stuff too...."
........
I didn't say anything. What am I supposed to say to that? She just invited herself and Jack over EVERY wednesday for dinner. Like I said before we usually do have them over for dinner about once a week or so. But we don't EVERY single week. For some reason its REALLY bothering me. I don't mind having them over when we ask.. but just inviting themselves over for dinner every week.... Isn't that rude or Am I just taking this out of proportion?


So I was talking to my husband about it later that day after they had left. As soon as I said so they are going to be coming over every wednesday now. He said "Oh great, now we get to feed them all the time. That was rude of her"
Keep in mind my husband NEVER says stuff like that... So it kind of blew me away. He's really easy going and laid back....So I said maybe we can say something like this after dinner when we are all sitting around watching t.v., and talking.....
"So, are you guys planning on coming over next Wednesday ? (if they say yes) "Do you want to plan dinner next week then?"


I don't really know what to do. Its not the fact that I have to cook for them every Wednesday, its the fact that I go to school, my husband works, and we don't really have that kind of money to buy food for two extra people a week.

So what do I do? What would you do, or say in this situation?

Please Help !

I'm new to Xanga, and I was looking for some regular blogs to read, when I came across this one.

One of his blogs today was one things guys should know about women.
I highly recommend you reading it. Whether you are a man or woman.
Some women may get offended, I wasn't by anything I've read.... yet. :)


So... props to you mancouch, on such an awesome blog !!! I enjoy it... Maybe you should change your title "Mancouch- stuff for guys and girls " ?? :)

I was at a pampered Chef party today and the hostess had this really good juice/punch stuff. It has sliced lemons and Rasberry's floating on the top, so it looks really nice too.


These are the ingredients:
1 can frozen lemonade (or pink lemonade) whichever you prefer
1 2-Liter bottle of Sprite
Fresh lemon
Fresh rasberry's

Dump the frozen lemonade in 1 gallon pitcher, with 2-liter of sprite. Mix until the frozen concentrate is mixed up, slice up a few lemons (don't even have to bother removing the peel, it looks nicer if you don't. Slice up a few rasberry's and throw them in. Mix it up, squish the lemons and other fruit up to give the juice a nice color, and remnants of the fruit.
Be careful with how much lemon you add, it can get pretty strong !! I would only recommend one to two slices.

On the way home from the party I picked up the ingredients and substituted the rasberry's for strawberry's.
This recipe is REALLY diverse too. You could use 7-up, or Ginger Ale instead of sprite, and strawberry's or blueberry's instead of rasberry's. I suppose you could get frozen fruit too and thaw them out and throw them in , instead of fresh.

Any one else have any good non-alcoholic drink recipes? Or any recommended recipes at all ?? I've been looking for a good meatball recipe....Any suggestions ?
