yay! got loverly rocks today- the thing that has always bummed me out about rocks is how much better they look wet. I went through about 2 years in middle school of being Very Serious aboutbeing a geologist- I started a Natural History museum in our basement, used to tumble rocks, chipped garnet crystals out of the huge rocks in Central Park, etc. ( Read more... )

okay, I have a friend IRL who has taken to emailing me every day with the number of days until our wedding. I might kill her when I actually see her if she doesn't stop. I know how many days it is, I really don't need a visual reminder of how little time I have left thankyouverymuch ( Read more... )

woo hoo! Looking like it was tossed off a second story window but everything is here. Just some scratches on some things, and one margarita glass bit the dust but really not bad. I had visions of half our stuff gone missing after hearing some of FMIL's horror stories (they've moved SO mamy times ( Read more... )

So we ordered our wedding bands. And have pretty much decided on the groomsmen shirts and ties, just need to buy them, ditto the favors and boxes for them.

I'm sick :( full on head-cold sick. This sucks- I do everything possible not to get sick and yet here I am. Not only that but I make a weird noise in my sleep when I'm sick or stressed out (like an "mmmmm" noise- very weird and I don't know why) so Brian is sleeping on the futon. I'm offering to but he says no- we may have quite a time trying to ( Read more... )

Tonight we freed some of the furniture we're leaving here. Couch, coffee table, end tables and kitchen table with stools are all gone. The place looks empty and messy at the same time. I also did 5 loads of laundry today, including the cats' special under-the-bed blanket. Dude I've never seen more crap in the dryer tray- so gross ( Read more... )
