24 hours now! Oh my goodness, there were times I swore this day would never come. Things are coming together. Mom and Kelly are on their way over to help me finish tidying up. Then we're off to nails - back here to hopefully just chill because everything will be done. Off to the Bridesmaids' Fiesta - back here with friends to chill and maybe ( Read more... )

The Jr. Bridesmaids' dresses aren't right - I'm fine with the way they look (at least I was until my mom pointed out the different waist lines in each one and how "horrid" it will look in pictures!) Anyway - we've been to 5, count them FIVE different fabric stores since 9:30 this morning and nobody, yup, that's right, NOBODY has the fabric we need ( Read more... )

Too much going on lately for me to wrap my head around anything and put together a coherent journal entry. One week from today we're gonna be doing the final prep stuff for the wedding - heck, hopefully by this time my nails will be done and I'll be getting ready for the bridesmaids' luncheon ( Read more... )

So - Chris called the house where I'm dog sitting and told me that the deputy had just called and wanted me to met him at the Food Lion parking lot because they've got some suspects and they want me to see if I can make an ID. Chris asks if I'm ok with it and I tell him I have to - it's my duty. I head out and immediately begin to get nervous. I ( Read more... )

I stopped to get gas this evening. It was really a weird twist of coincidences that led me to a place that I wouldn't have been at a time that I normally wouldn't have been there. I never, NEVER get gas after dark if I'm by myself - maybe it comes from living in the city for two years, maybe it comes from having a paranoid fiance who doesn't want ( Read more... )

I hate doing laundry. Scratch that. I despise doing laundry. I think I hate it more than almost any other chore in the entire free world. It's not the putting it into the machine part I hate. I don't even mind switching it from the washer to the dryer. I even take some kind of perverse joy from folding the crap. I hate putting the clothes ( Read more... )

And no, that wasn't supposed to read "boogers!" Why is it that my face, which all summer has remained relatively blemish free, is choosing right now (17 days until the wedding) to choose to break out like a pre-teen's???? Hmmm???? Can you say that my make-up will have it's work cut out for it ( Read more... )

About 5 days ago (wow, it's only been 5 days?) Chris came over and said that he had gotten stuff for us to use in my smoothie machine since we hadn't used it at the beach. Granted, not using it at the beach wasn't that big a deal - I've had it for almost two years and hadn't managed to use it. Anyway - he was pretty excited so we tried it out ( Read more... )

So, is there such a thing as too much exercise? I've been active(ish) lately. But I haven't been working out. So I jumped on the eliptical and chose the fat burner option and set the thing for 45 minutes. And I hung in there too! I didn't think I was going to make it when I hit about 35 minutes, but then I realized that I didn't have that much ( Read more... )

Okay, so I have a little problem with OCD. I'm getting ready to exercise, right? With our brand, spankin' new eliptical machine (woo-hoo!) and I'm putting on my new sneakers. Only, they're not laced right. Seriously - I've spent the last 15 minutes lacing and relacing my sneakers so that they feel comfortable on my feet. Problem much ( Read more... )
