Why the God's tease me.....

Okay so I've been MIA for awhile. I'm planning a wedding and a honeymoon and frankly my brain is altogether mush. Some of my friends call it 'bride brain'.. I just say its mush. I feel badly about my mush brain as there are a lot of things running around inside there and its TOTALLY disorganized.


So this week I've been working on our favors for the wedding. So I've been collecting all of my components and playing around with ribbons and options and stylizing. Mostly it stresses me and drives me insane to think about all the possibilities and how to tweak thing while also completing tasks and not over-worrying.

(um let's be honest I'm me so over-worrying is unavoidable,, can someone teach me how to stop that ridiculousness!?)

ANYWAY so I also re-joined Weight Watchers. I know, it might seem like that correlates with the wedding business, but I really don't plan on the watching of the weight having any impact on the wedding at all. Truthfully my body is ready for health and change and positive actions. Its ready for me to be kind and welcoming instead of hateful and cruel.

So Anyway,,,, While I'm making good decisions and being kind with my choices and my body... THIS ,,



THIS!!!!
Is staring at me at Sam's Club!!!





Seriously? A HUGE container of Nacho Cheese!!!
I totally wanted it, but I totally resisted it. Its not an option I want in my home to tease and tempt me. I want great choices and not defeat.


So I continued thru the store of surplus and stock and found the items I needed and went on my merry way.

Oh but the cheese!!!
hahahaha

Dear Blank

So maybe you've all seen this website... http://www.dearblankpleaseblank.com/
You probably have seen it in FB land from others posts.

First I'll share a few of my faves,, and then I'll write my own. :)


a) Dear Fox News,
so far, no news about foxes.
Sincerely,
Unimpressed

b) Dear Nickleback,
That's enough.
Sincerely,
The World

c)Dear Yahoo,
I've never heard anyone say, "I don't know, let's Yahoo! it..." just saying...
Sincerely,
Google

d) Dear Noah,
We could have sworn you said the ark wasn't leaving till 5.
Sincerely,
Unicorns


So anyway the website is clearly amusing. Some are more R rated, some G... but I love the Unicorn One.

So now its my turn.


1) Dear World,
If you could stop being so overwhelming, I'd be able to spend more time blogging and commenting and Keuriging and doing all the great things I like to do.
Love D

2) Dear Running,
There is a really good reason you were not listed above in the 'great things I like to do. The list could have been a LOT longer but you still would not have made the cut. I'm not sorry.
Love D

3) Dear Friends of A Bride,
Sorry, I know we're annoying,, but imagine being in our own heads, its freaking exhausting and I swear I'm getting wedding-induced dimensia. Or Alzheimers.. or something. What was I talking about. I like flowers.
Love D




4) Dear Kentahn,
I don't like you.
Love D
(this one is actually a text that my friend Ken and I passed back and forth multiple times when Texting just began circa 2002, its still ironic).

5) Dear Carol Tuttle
Your controlling my brain and making me judge people in an all new different way. I'm trying to be good. Its not going well. Still a 4.
Love D

6) Dear feet and back,
I would like you to function as designed
Love D

7) Dear Housewives,
Would you consider paying off my student loans instead of throwing a party for your kids? I could throw them a party, and design amazing and educational and yet fun times! FUN TIMES! in exchange for loan forgiveness!! AAAHHh.
Love D

8) Dear Pre-Cana classes,
Why was everyone warning us against something? Its pretty sweet and Kevin and I get to laugh and joke mid-week. BONUS!
Love The Almost Cana-'d

9) Dear Alaska,
I would very much like to cruise your awesomeness.. Why must you be dark for so many months that I would love to travel?
Love D

10) Dear Vegetables,
I know I have dabbled, and I won't give up, but your just not as good as cheese , chocolate and wine. Sorry. The truth will set you free. Or make you spoil. Either way Adio.
Love D.

A Festivus for the Rest of us!

OKay so we ALL love Seinfeld, and the Constanzas' are my most favorite!
So I'd like to take a moment to help you recall the steps of a true Festivus!!!


1) Airing of Greivances- So basically you sit everyone down around a table and tell them how they have disappointed you in the past year. Overall I see no problem with doing this, and it should be done daily in a perfect (WHAT!) world. In fact I think perhaps all people would REALLY like to know how they themselves disappoint others.. ya know... for personal growth or something like that.


2) The Pole--- I personally have never had a 'pole' of any sort in my home or apartment that was used for Festivus celebration, but I have friends from HS who absolutely did. I'm not entirely clear on what the pole is used for but I think it may come into play in part three.


3) Feats of Strength- SO I guess at this point, the feat of strength is that whomever is the 'claimed' head of household (HOH as I call them),, needs to be overthrown yearly, and all others must contend for this position and use their strength to literally, pin them to the ground. Overall, sounds like fun right?

So I wish you a Merry Festivus!

The Perfect Friday,,,, almost

So this Friday we are staying home,, and as you can see above.. its almost perfection.
I have my Harry Potter Book 7 that I'm rereading in preparation for the big movie showing in a few days? And I have my amazingly wonderful micro-suede blanket that is CLEARLY ginormous and wonderous to cuddle me.

Plus I have my fiance hanging at home with me too...
soo really....... what could POSSIBLY make it anything but perfect??

where is the 'almost'???


:)

Did I actually COOK something?

So when the weather gets cold (my fave!), that's when I like to attempt to cook things. But typically I mess up many recipes being um,,, creative,, or forgetting to add something, or trying to 'double the batch but not calculating properly'. Overall,, I'm TOTALLY inexperienced but I still feel like I could 'make it better'..

Which I realize is insane...

Anyway last nite I was craving my mom's tuna noodle casserole. But after working a 10 hour day I really didn't want to go to my parents house and like 'hope' that was what they were having. Plus I had purchased the ingredients awhile back but never made it.

I printed myself a recipe from the worldwide web (why doesn't anyone call it that anymore!), and I totally made it.!

TOTALLY had an awesome dinner! And leftovers (a ton) for the fiance to take to work tomorrow..

The paprika sprinkled on top made it the best for me,, a lil pop of flavor with my comfort food. I think next time I'll try some Tony Chacere's Original Creole Seasoning, because I LOVE me some of that!.


If your blog hopping from MomsReview4yo--- HOLLA!!!

Confession

I have a confession bloggies...
Sometimes I get backlogged on my google reader,,,
and so anyone that posted more than 6 times since I last checked automatically goes from full to 'mark as read'.

I know its not kind because your words inspire and excite me,,


but when my reader says i have 526 blog posts to check out I start to panic,, and I figure (this is my logic so be prepared it may be full of holes).... that if you can write more than six times since I last caught up.. chances are you'll probably write again soon and so next time we'll catch up, since I typically open it up and then click thru to the page and scroll down until I'm all caught up.


So if your overambitious,,, well great I'll get to you later...
but I WILL get to you!:)
