Monday Musings

Posted in Lists, Photos, Random, Wedding by

Hello Monday! How happy am I to finally see that you’re here? Because I have a zillion things on my mind, you get a bullet/list post. Fun!

– The wedding is only 5 days away now! My plans: Go golfing Wednesday morning, make the wedding favours Wednesday afternoon, get a pedicure with my Mom Thursday, and then Friday is D-Day. Decorate, decorate, DECORATE! And Saturday? No more worries.

– Kyle and I actually had a great “meeting” with our MC (who’s actually his uncle) Sunday afternoon. We worked out the reception game plan and I’m feeling so less stressed because of it. We pretty much have the best people on our “team” the day of the wedding, hands down. I can’t thank them enough!

– A couple weeks ago I saw a cool photo print of “dandelion fluff” and they wanted to sell it for a ridiculous price. I said to Kyle, “Ha! I could totally do that!”, so I did:

Not bad, eh? Go me! It only took a couple hours to edit it too.

– I’ve just started reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. So far, I’m absolutely loving it! My mom bought it for me for my birthday after we saw the preview for the movie that’s coming out in the summer and I said “Oooh, I want that book!” She told me not to buy it, so I kind of knew.

– You all probably know that my dog is a furry beast. Yesterday I gave her Round 1 of her post-winter, pre-hot summer brushings and let me tell you, I think I could grow a whole new dog from the mountain of fur. Don’t believe me? Proof:

– I’m watching My Big Fay Gypsy Wedding right now and it. is. WEIRD. I don’t even understand what a gypsy is exactly. Anyone? I always think of Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. (Horrible, I know)

-I’ve decided that after the wedding, I’m getting my ass back to the gym. I haven’t been in probably two months. Oops. Good thing it’s only $35/mth? I know, bad excuse. Baaaad me …

– Speaking of that pedicure I’m getting … Does one remove their current nail polish before they go or do they do that for you? My polish is gross and needs to be removed, but I don’t want naked toes for two days. (I blame Chelsea for this paranoia!) Help me blogland!

– Tomorrow will be my last post before my wedding for Ten on Tuesday, and then I’ve lined up some great guest posters! Thanks again ladies!

How was your weekend?

Thursday Yays and Nays

Posted in Lists, Random by

Sorry I missed my WTW post yesterday. I’ve been so busy/stressed finishing up the final wedding details that I just haven’t found time to blog! Hell, my Ten on Tuesday post this week consisted of me running around the house frantically taking pictures while Kyle scratched his head.

So today, I bring to you some Yays and Nays of the week!

YAYS:

  • My bathrooms are CLEAN. I hate cleaning them, so this is a huge accomplishment.
  • My toenails are painted a pretty orangey-pink after going a WHOLE DAY with nothing on them. Unacceptable for the summer!
  • I’m actually getting my very first pedicure a couple days before the wedding.
  • The wedding is only 16 days away! OMG.
  • Kyle and I met with our marriage commissioner and she’s FABULOUS. I can’t wait!
  • It’s amazingly nice outside! I need a patio set SO bad!
  • I bought a bucket of strawberry margarita mix. Liver be warned …
  • The Canucks whooped the Sharks’ asses last night! HA!
NAYS:
  • There’s a crow hanging around our house and we’re pretty sure it’s the spawn of the devil.
  • We got a VERY late RSVP in the mail yesterday (like, a month late). It messed up my final numbers and table seating chart, but i got it figured out (Yay!)
  • I have to work allllll day tomorrow. (9:30 a.m. to 10:15 p.m.) Having two jobs is FUN!
That’s it for Nays actually. Yay!
What are your YAYS and NAYS for today?

WTW: Opt Out

Posted in Random by

No, I’m not opting out of the wedding, lol.

I’ve decided to opt out of an “offical” WTW post today because frankly, I’m getting tired of talking about the wedding. I’m sure a lot of you are sick of reading about it too. You’re welcome.

The only wedding business I will address today is that I have my hair consultation appointment tonight and my bridal shower/bachelorette/birthday party this Saturday. Oh my word.

I have been ridiculously busy with life lately and I haven’t had much time to keep up on blogging. Hell, I didn’t get to my Ten on Tuesday post until yesterday afternoon. Normally I’m on that one like white on rice, flies on shit, etc., etc., etc. (Pardon my French, lol)

What else have I been up to? Well, Kyle and I planted some cedars, I helped a friend celebrate her 19th birthday, I’ve been working my BUTT off, and I voted. I could try and write a political-based post, but I’m not poli-savvy in any way, so I’m not going to bother. (Well, I’m a little savvy, but not savvy enough to write an entire post on politics, yah know?)

I also just took on a ridiculous amount of freelance work that’s due in a week. That may or may not have a good idea. Oh well. Money is always fun to have, especially because of the wedding.

Let’s go back to this Bachelorette/Bridal Shower/Birthday thing. It’s all happening on the same day (Saturday) because my work schedule is ridiculous and I booked my birthday off from Job #2 because, well, I don’t want to work on my birthday if I don’t have to. Since it’s conveniently one month away from the wedding, it happens to also be the perfect time for the “let’s get the bride to be regrettably drunk” party.  So, it’s a 3-in-one event. Unfortunately my maids won’t all be able to attend, but such is life when you have careers and babies I guess. I’m sure C did a fabulous job planning everything – I have no idea what’s in store! So, if I drop off the face of the blog and Twitter, I’m obviously passed out and sunburnt on the roof of some hotel. (No Hangover reference whatsoever, I swear)

That’s all I got. Time to do important stuff. Like stress.

What are YOU opting out of today?
