Seriously?

Is everyone busy? Is it that time of year? No one has commented on my posts recently, except for John (thanks John!). This makes me sad :(

Another thing that makes me sad...I have nothing wedding related to report on this Wedding Tuesday. Boo. I should probably get cracking on this whole wedding sitch, huh? I mean it's like 3 1/2 months away...that should light some sort of fire under my ass, right?

Eh, have a good day, y'all

*kisses*

Munday

Is it just the thought of Mondays in general that make you more tired. I mean you guys already know how I feel about Thursdays. I totally love Wednesdays. I've never been sure why. Maybe it's the fact that by Wednesday the worst part of the week is over and the best is yet to come. Or it could be because people call Wednesday 'hump day' and that's always made me giggle. Who knows. All I know is that I was exhausted this morning.

Now, I'm good. I've made two pots of coffee and have had the majority of them. Graduation plans are wrapping up (Thank God) and things will start to get back to normal around here soon.

I'm fantastic in spirit though b/c this Saturday is my birthday! I've always been a birthday person. I start the countdown in like February and I love it when its the week before my birthday. I start dropping hints as to what I want in terms of presents. I also start planning the festivities. Last year fiance and I went bowling. We meant to play a couple of games and leave but we were having so much fun that before we knew it they had dimmed the lights for midnight bowling. All in all it turned in to a really fun day and we plan on doing this again.

In case anyone who reads this knows me personally (ie will see me on my birthday) here is a list of things I would like to receive for my day of birth:

~yoga ball (the one I have...read stole from my parents...is too big for me. I need a medium)
~a gift certificate for a massage (I fell about a month ago and I seriously think I deeply bruised some tissue b/c it still hurts)
~new crocs (I love them and hope to one day own every color of every style (size 7))
~Old Navy Gift certificate (we all know I've lost weight and I'm not even sure what size I am now so while I'm always happy with something from Old Navy I'd like to pick it out myself)
~Jewelry to wear in my wedding (I'm thinking of wearing pearls b/c of the elegance of my dress, but I'm still uncertain. I'd like to wear the jewelry that fiance has bought for me but they're diamonds...so I need help in this department)
~Last but certainly no least: money (everyone loves to get green bills on their birthday)

So yeah, if you feel the need, please feel free to purchase anything from this list! :)

*kisses*

Heyo

I hope you like my new template. The old one was too dark for me. I may change it back though...we'll see.

Have a good weekend y'all :)

Moving Day

So for the summer we are forced out of our offices due to our ceiling shedding. This ceiling probably hasn't been replaced in the however many decades our building has been around. This ceiling probably has mountains of asbestos and other allergens that will one day give us all cancer. Our ceiling sucks. But they're replacing it.

Since day one the staff in this department has sneezed. We have contagious sneezes. It will start with me go back and the the left to my boss, and then up and to the left to the other staff assistant. Then back to me. Vicious cycle. I'm looking forward to moving back in August and the chance to finally be sneeze free aside from the occasional cold.

So today we're packing up some personal items and figuring out which supplies we'll need over the summer. The good news about the move is that I'll be able to alternate days that I come into the office and can work from home. And with my wedding fastly approaching I'm sure I will love having workdays at home where I can call and finalize wedding details without feeling guilty or being overheard.

Although it is slightly daunting that this summer I will be moving both my professional life and personal life within weeks of each other. I will be stressed and tired but it will be worth it. Like I'm not stressed enough already with graduation looming....boo

Random

So, yeah, my mind is going a hundred miles a minute while my body is going like negative miles a minute. They need to catch up!

So I'll do a Tuesday post, on a Thursday, mainly b/c A Margarita loves to hear about my wedding!

I recently reconnected with a friend from High School, Bekaboo. Bekaboo played Miracle Max to my wonderful rendition of Valerie in our high school's version of The Princess Bride (on crack, seriously it was like 80 minutes of us speeding through our lines b/c our director didn't want an intermission). Shortly after the show, our sophomore year ended and Bekaboo and family moved to Florida. Long story short...we lost touch. But through the wonderful invention of facebook we have found each other once again. She recently got married and she has tons of tips for me and I love her for it. She even sent me a cd with her wedding photos, and sorry girl but I'm totally stealing your veil! Anywho, Bekaboo reminded me of my cake. (losing all this weight prepares me to eat my weight in wedding cake) and I realized that even though it's been ordered for a while now, I totally haven't told my readers about my cake!

Now, Dan and I both are not huge cake fans. My favorite is yellow cake with chocolate frosting in the form of a cupcake...but we do have one cake that is an all time favorite! RED VELVET. mm mm good. plus when you tell people you're having a red velvet cake at your wedding they automatically assume it will look like this:

Side note: "I can't even begin to imagine how you make gray icing"

Ah, such a great movie. Anyways, no there will be no bleeding armadillo cake at my wedding. But at the rehearsal dinner we will have a Batman cake. Teehee

This is technically what my cake will look like:

Minus the sugar leaves. And that beading...do you see the beading? Yeah that will be icing dyed to match the bridesmaid dresses, which are jade. I'm so excited. I cannot wait to cut into that cake. More over I can't wait to shove that cake into Dan's face.

Actually what I'm most excited about that concerns the cake...the topper. We're ordering customized bobble heads to be our cake topper. I can't wait for the look on people's faces. There are so many surprises in store...good surprises...we're not the kind of couple to ask those stupid wedding crashers to come and humiliate our families...that's just rude.

*kisses*

One Day at a time...

Thanks to everyone who commented and gave me kind words of encouragement. I appreciate them more than you know! I guess now, since I got through the toughest day...that first day...now I just need to take it one day at a time.

Let's have some good news, shall we?

My wedding is 4 months from today! I can't believe it's so soon! I've been doing weight watchers for the past 17 weeks and according to my mom, I've been doing really well.

Well for the past 3 weeks I've plateaued and have been stuck at the same weight (which just happens to be 15 pounds away from my wedding goal weight(I've already lost 20)) But I went to weigh in today and I had lost 2.2 pounds putting my goal weight a measly 12.8 pounds away. I'm super duper excited!

I just wish I still had Angus, my own personal exercise machine, to walk with me every day again :(

RIP Angus

Sorry, but this is going to be a downer post today.

My puppy Angus was hit by a car last night April 30th, around 10:40. He went very quickly so he did not suffer. We buried him next to our dog Charissa Doodle Dandy who died about two years ago in September.

I'm going to miss him very much. It was very hard trying to sleep last night without his puppy snores and movement. The next couple of days or weeks are going to be very hard for me, so any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated and needed.

Angus: February 2nd, 2006-April 30th, 2007

May you have a bountiful amount of pink pigs to destroy in heaven!
