... and significantly closer to the big event in October, I am doing well. At the moment, I am missing bookishfellow who is attending a conference in Wisconsin. Things are relatively slow at work this week, which is good since I haven't quite re-entered work mode after being on vacation Thursday-Sunday. We attended my college roommate's wedding ( Read more... )

Nothing particular to update you on, but I'm in a decent mood and thought I'd say hello. I was in training all of last week, meaning that I didn't have to come in to work. While training does mean 6 hours of mind-numbing boredom as an "instructor" meanders through policy, there is no stress involved, *and* you get out early. I have not yet felt ( Read more... )

Yea, Valentine's Day is a holiday that can more or less go unnoticed, as far as I'm concerned. However, bookishfellow and I made a weekend of it and rather enjoyed ourselves. This involved steaks at home, bowling, chocolate, fire in the fireplace, dancing, a red sparkly dress, coffee shop treats, friends, solving puzzles, reading aloud, and watching Chicago.

Just finished up some Chicken Biryani that tasted especially good today. It is the first time I've have this particular frozen lunch ( Read more... )

Welcome to Macon's Bridal Expo 2004! After a swing-and-a-miss at the Home Expo (oops--wrong venue), bookishfellow and I spent yesterday afternoon exploring central Georgia's bridal wonderland... And were admittedly disappointed in the relatively few vendors who participated, as well as the lack of variety within the "showcase" presented. AND we didn't win ( Read more... )

If the pepper shaker is a frog, then the doorstop is also a frog.

This is the attitude I am trying not to have about the wedding. I won't rehash "Groomzilla's" rendition of the past week, but it has been a challenge. I do appreciate all the positive energy my supporters are sending my way. Despite the sense of defeat, discomfort, etc. I have been feeling, I have to acknowledge that I am strongly encouraged by ( Read more... )

To enjoy the long weekend at a cabin in Blue Ridge, Georgia... where the weather forecast is temps in the 30s-40s and rain. Sorry pkhentz(who is already sick)... I'm looking forward to a good visit, though!!

This has been a slow, sleepy week. For anyone who reads this but does not check in with bookishfellow, we have set a date and sent in our registration to ( Read more... )

Finally! I've been especially tired this week and am looking forward to a restful weekend... in which I "plan" (ha! As if the word is in my vocabulary...) to finish the following: about 10 loads of laundry, touring the potential reception hall, other wedding-planning tasks with the possible inclusion of visiting a dress shop, perhaps going ( Read more... )

Today is a hectic day, which is actually serving to boost my energy and morale re: my current job.

And I'm eating Seeds of Change Asain noodles from my manic shopping adventure last night. One of those that started as stopping by for two items and ended up requiring multiple trips to the car to carry it all in the house. Yum.
