Over my dead body!
Mom invited me to her wedding via text I'm pretty sure she did it that way because she knew none of us like the guy. I literally have had my Chia Pet Charlie longer than this guy has been around and she expects me to just welcome him with open arms. There are a bunch of other reasons why I'm not on board with that. We all told her we need more time to get to know him better but instead of waiting she just forced this marriage on us and now we are all related whether we want to be or not and she wants to pretend we are one big happy family when we aren't. I'm so mad at her right now!
Anyway, she texted me the invite to this hellish event of hers and I wasn't sure if I was going to go. My sisters were all iffy about it too. I got a call for a job so I took it. When my manager there heard I was skipping mom's wedding to be there he laughed and said I'm a cold-hearted jerk. I probably am but I don't care.
The Coca Cola event was pretty cool. I ran this machine that shows the recycling process so people can see first hand how they can take a bottle, recycle it, and turn it into a shirt. I never knew how they did that so I thought it was pretty cool. They basically take the bottle and shred it to tiny pieces. Then they take the pieces and wash them really good. If it's food grade they turn it into another bottle, if it's not food grade they melt the plastic pieces and turn them into yarn. The yarn is then mixed with cotton to make a shirt that is a cotton/PET (recycled plastic) blend. The shirt I wore at the event was made out of 5 recycled bottles. I thought it would feel weird but it feels completely normal. So do your recycling

I did make a short appearance after work at the barbecue. I didn't talk to him and I didn't congratulate my mom. I'm not sure I'm ever going to be ok with this. When did this become my life?
