Tying up loose ends

Now that Thanksgiving is over (BTW D said it was the best meal I have cooked to date :-), it is time for me to turn my attention to getting ready for 2009. Yep, I am kinda just skipping right over Christmas for the most part and working on some self-improvement. I do not have the funds to buy Christmas gifts this year. Instead, I am going to only get my boo boo something and call it a day. If some of my loved ones decide to give me a gift then I will accept it with a smile and a thanks and stop myself from feeling like I need to reciprocate. That's what the giving spirit of Christmas is about. I am also making cards and other handmade items for my BFF's.

So, I have a short list of things to do before New Years:

1. Order my wedding cake.
2. Get measured for a new bra. Yep, I do not have a clue what size I currently am supposed to have.
3. Make crafts to sell at a X-Mas craft show (I gotta do this soon, the show is on the 13th!)
4. Update my Etsy store.
5. Clean my closet.
6. Plan a dinner with my girls :-)

Ok, I think that I have enough to work on in the next 34 days. Time to start working on it.

Wedding lessons learned

I'm back and I'm a Mrs! The ceremony was beautiful. The reception was fun. I learned a few things that I will take into my future work as a wedding coordinator (something I have always wanted to to). I have a few things that I wished we would have done differently. I kinda wish we had hired a different wedding coordinator. She did do her job and she pulled the day together but... I don't feel like we were really heard during the whole planning process. So, my advice to anyone who is still in the planning process: 1. If you hire a coordinator, pick someone who respects your budget no matter what it is. 2. Be really detailed with what your vision is for each element of your wedding. Make sure that the person who is in charge of the day has a thorough understanding of that vision. 3. Things will go wrong. Don't sweat it. The morning of the wedding I woke up to a text from my hair and makeup person saying instead of her arriving at 8:00 she would be there at 12:00. I didn...

Where does the time go?

16 days until I make the change from Ms. to Mrs. I feel like I am not yet getting the chance to soak it in. I am still trying to adjust to the new job and keep up with my normal household tasks. I guess I will fully realize it when I put on the dress.

Cookie monster

That is what I feel like right now. The one thing I have no business eating right now is calling my name as I sit in Panera. I just finished my chicken noodle soup and salad and I want a big ole chocolate chip cookie! But if I were to eat one it would mean no more food for the rest of the day due to using up all of my points. Must.....resist.....temptation........
