I have been neglecting my poor booky blog, mostly because as of late I've elected to spend all of my free time sweating (and watching other people sweat, under the glorious Olympic rings) instead of reading. Anyway, working on the third "words and we's" installment as we speak. I love being up early!
(Note the big fat difference between being up and getting up.)
Anyway, the rest of my fun-filled day looks like this: Attend Tong meeting (ah, my clubs, they are a blog all their own. Someday.) Swim. Buy wedding gift for my cousin, who is getting married tonight. Attend ceremony. Take notes. Eat till we drop at the Willows.
Speaking of weddings and of neglected blogs, my wedding blog is ridiculously overdue for an update. Actually, with six months to go, I hadn't done a thing for the wedding in ages, till yesterday when I hopped on the computer, selected the bridesmaid dresses, ordered all six (ya, I know) and am now sitting pretty, waiting for the next deadline to crash down on my head. Our wedding could go either of two ways. It could grow into a three-ring circus (depending how much I let myself get caught up in other people's ideas of a good time), or it could be the very simple, very laid-back party I'd like it to be. I do get excited about it here and there, but mostly I just want to marry him and then go live our lives. I feel like I'm disappointing all the aunties who want me to get so into it that I'm apoplectic by February, but I just ... don't ... care all that much. I care deeply about the marriage we're entering together; wedding favors and flowers are much less important. This is not to say that I don't give a shake about our wedding, but to say that the day will be lovely no matter how much, or how little, we stress out over details. Like color schemes and invitation details. For instance, I changed my entire color scheme yesterday on a total whim, just because I liked bridesmaid dresses that only came in "violet rose."
Anyway, I guess I have three seconds to post a pic of the dress. Whoops, guess I should go email the pic to my girls as well. :)

i wasn't going to say anything about the wedding planning. although last week i did have a discussion with a classmate, she's getting married this week. good ol' country wedding, where the reception is being held on the 4h grounds.
will there be a hayride?
no hayride. more traditional type stuff. and with discussion with friends, don't forget thank-you cards. that's another trip to wal-mart.
Wow, that's so exciting! 6 months to go! Awesome!
A good idea (if you like 3 ring circuses hehe) is to hire a lion dance to give you luck. They charge $100 for a good 45 minutes or so of entertainment. We hired one and the guests LOVED it. Just an idea.
Also, www.orientaltrading.com has good wedding favors for reasonable prices. So does pricebusters, as a matter of fact.
It'll come together, you watch.
