quick thoughts

Chris and I went to see Get Smart last night.  It was so funny.  I laughed through the whole movie.  I recommend it.  I can't say a whole lot more than that without giving away the funny stuff. 

Two weeks till the wedding.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. 

I had grilled jalepenos on my Whataburger.  I asked for grilled onions, but I was hungry so I ate it.  Very tasty stuff. 

We went to El Fenix.  The fajitas were mediocre.  The other stuff looked good.

I have to shampoo the carpet and get dad's measurements to the tuxedo place today.  Mom and Dad will be here on July 11th...hopefully in time for the rehearsal at 7:00. 

I'm going to shower so I can hopefully start my day by noon.  Love you.

bloody hell

I was sitting at the stop light minding my own business when my truck decided to stop working.  It's currently at Firestone, which will run the diagnostic and report to me in the morning.  What shit.  Things have been going way too well lately.  I should have seen this one coming.  I know she's 12 years old with 150,000 miles on her, but I still expect her to run.  What shit.  I know I said that already.  I'll say it again.  I'm going to have to carpool now.  Chris usually goes to work about 9:30 or so and now he's going to have to get me to work at 8:00 a.m...and he's serious about getting me there on time.  I'm not serious about getting me there on time, but I don't think it matters.  

We should have registered at the car dealership.  Man.  What shit...

jumble

Where to start?  Less than a month from now, I'll be getting married.  Everything is booked or reserved or what-have-you.  It's go time. 

Chris and I went to the florist yesterday and decided on the bouquets.  I honestly don't remember everything we talked about.  I know there will be white roses and other stuff.  I took a lot of time making up my mind.  I shouldn't be given too many choices.  Ever.  I have the Chili's menu memorized and it still takes me fifteen minutes to decide on dinner.  I have every confidence the flowers will be lovely.  They're flowers afterall.  It's not like I'm using thistle.

People keep telling me I should get what I want because I'm the bride and it's up to me.  I get to marry the sweetest guy in the universe.  What else could I want?  Mrs. McQueary sent me an email asking what music I wanted for the bridesmaids and the march and my parents and if I wanted a song after the vows and dinner music.  I have spent the past three days listening to all of her suggestions on youtube.  I am no closer to deciding.  Chis and I wanted different music.  I told her to surprise me because no matter what she plays, I'll still be married after it's all said and done.

Tomorrow we're meeting with the Reverend for a counseling session.  Good times.  I filled out the answers on my copy.  Chris won't tell me what he got for number three because we're not supposed to discuss it.  I may bring up his inability to confide in me during the session.

We had been talking about going to the Texas coast for the honeymoon.  Changed our minds.  We'll be in Vegas for five days.  I wish I had paid more attention to Jane's explanation of playing poker.  Maybe we can do a crash course before she leaves.  I've never been to Vegas and I'm pretty excited about it.  I'll have to get a picture with an Elvis impersonator.

It's quiet without Alex around the house.  I actually read a book.  I didn't know that Judy Blume had written any adult books.  I just read Smart Women.  It's not Pulitzer material, but not a bad read.

My Honey has a cold.  I keep offering to go get him new meds.  He's taking some, but they're not working completely.  Poor Honey...

I keep trying to remember if there's something I'm forgetting.  There usually is.  I'm hoping after vacation, I'll come back a little clearer.  I need to find a new swimsuit.  Holler if you find one on clearance.

getting closer...

The wedding is next month and my skin is going nuts.  I finally had it clear and now it's the worst it's ever been.  Short of a laser treatment, I'm not sure what to do.  So sad.

So far, we've got about 32 people who have confirmed they will be there.  I just want a damn response.  It's a yes or no question and you don't have to buy a stamp.  What's with people?  I have to give the caterer a final head count and I need some cooperation.

I'm so ready to do this.  I still have to fold my favor boxes and get flowers.  I forgot to call the florist today.  There's a distint possibilty I'll be putting together bouquets with flowers I get from Kroger.

I'm getting ready to send Alex to the old folks next Sunday.  He's been talking about seeing Mama and eating her cooking everyday.  He is too funny.  I got Mama an outfit and she really likes it.  She even went and got new shoes from an actual department store. 

We cooked out tonight.  I smell like a steak so I'm off to shower. 

Oh yeah, Dad's birthday is tomorrow.
