Hungry, sleepy, cold, lonely.

1.) Food tasting went great! I'm confident that the food at our wedding will be amazing!
2.) I saw a mock-up of our centerpieces yesterday. They looked pretty good, but I didn't like the color of linens, but they said it was an easy fix.
3.) Tomorrow, dress shopping for my mom and sister. Fingers crossed that they find something.
4.) Sunday is cake testing!!! Soooooo excited to eat some delicious dessert!

Food.

Good day today.

-Snowboarding this morning. (It was so nice out!)
-Food tasting tonight. (Fingers crossed, hopefully the food doesn't suck.)

"I'm feelin yummy head to toe."

CUPCAKES!

I got a cool cupcake cook book today so I decided to do a tasting of a recipe. This one pictured is a french vanilla cupcake, with pastel blue vanilla butter cream frosting, with sprinkles....YUMMY!

Tired.

Nothing fun happened today, in fact, it kinda sucked. So to counteract how terrible my day went, here is a picture of something that makes me extremely happy.

.....Oh Robert, Why do you torture me with your good looks? Oh Robert, When the hell is New Moon gunna be done!? I'm dying here!

Head Spinning

I hate waking up early! However, today was totally worth it. I got in some quality snowboarding in with Talor this morning. That was very fun.

Now, I am bored and hungry. I'm pretty sure the rest of my day will be this way.

SO EXCITED!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS BARACK OBAMA!!!

We've waited a long time for this!

HBO

Seriously, I love this channel! "Regular" TV just doesn't cut it for me anymore. I watched the season premier of Big Love tonight, and it didn't disappoint. Although the show is mainly about polygamy it touches on a lot of other issues. It shows how families should really stick together, through thick and thin. Defiantly worth checking out if you have HBO. May I also suggest the following....

-ENTOURAGE: Absolutly Brilliant (And Vince is hott!)

-TRUE BLOOD: Unexpected great show. Josh and I were hooked from the first episode.

-SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH: Jonah is by far my favorite character. Everyone who went through high school had a kid like him in class.

Out of work early.

Today is my sisters 25th Birthday...Happy Birthday to her. It reminded me that mine is quickly approching (I'm not ready for it.) I get to see Josh tonight, which excites me! :) Dinner with my parents is always entertaining.

Anyway...Since it feels like Alaska here in Michigan today, I decided to post a short video from our trip to Alaska back in Sept. The official name of this glacier is "Exit Road Glacier", who ever thought of that was very original. It's colder in my room than was standing next to this glacier. Seriously! Mother Nature...all I'm asking for is reasonable weather so that when I ride the ski lift I don't become a block of ice before I get to the top.

So much to do today.

I took the day off thinking Josh would be able to go snowboarding with me...he bailed on me. :( I was looking forward to that. My cat is sound asleep next to me, I wish I could stay inside and do the same. He looks so comfortable and cute, he's really tempting me to stay. But I must get up, brave the cold, and complete my list of tasks.

-Go to thirft shop

-Go to Industry Source

-Do moms hair

-Do sisters hair

-Pay Bills

-Eat

Little things make me happy.

O.P.I. Nail Polish.....I worship you! You bring happiness into my life. I don't know why, but one little bottle of brightly colored polish will make my day.

Looking Forward.

Monday I went in for my first fitting of my wedding dress. It had been 7 months since I'd even seen it. It was just how I remembered it, in fact I feel like it was even better. It was a weird feeling wearing a dress that is supposed to symbolize so much. Instead of crying or getting emotional, I got excited. Wearing that dress made me so happy, finally the wedding isn't that far away!

P.S. Later that night I went snowboarding, and I got out right pissed off. I suppose I'm considered "strange" in the snowboarding world. Apparently, most people ride with a certain foot forward and it's considered their "dominant" foot. Well.....NOT ME! I don't' have a dominant foot, I ride both ways which is called "riding switch." You can't begin to understand how incredibly frustrating this can be when trying to learn to make your movements fluid. I really hurt my knees, and that sucked!

Apartment Living.

The people who live above me are crazy! It's a couple in their early 30's but they act like their a high school couple with the way they fight. The woman has been screaming at her boyfriend for about an hour and a half. She's vulgar, and rude. If I had to sum her up in one word it would be....GHETTO!

Wedding Worries

I got engaged in 2007, and set my wedding date for May of 2009. It seemed like I had so much time to get things in order.

Lately I've realized how lazy I am with all this wedding stuff. I just can't motivate myself to do anything. It's got so bad that I've been having nightmares about my wedding day, nightmares where nothing is done for the wedding, and no one even comes because I forgot to mail out the invitations! Now that January 2009 is here, I really need to get started. I have a huge list of appointments that need to be taken care of. Thank goodness for mothers, and mother-in-laws, because they keep my motivation in check.

I'm promising myself, this month I will:

-Mail out my "Save-The-Dates"
-Go to my food tasting.
-Go to my florist meeting.
-Reserve hotel rooms.
-Pay for my dress.
-Start to think about where I want to register.

Shreddin Powder

I NEVER thought I would love snowboarding. I can honestly say it is one of my favorite things to do! I have to say thank you to Josh, my wonderful Fiance who believed that I would kick ass at this sport...you were right! I'm loving winter right now, SO BRING ON THE SNOW ALREADY!

Feelin Lucky!

I feel so blessed to have been able to travel to so many awesome places around the world. Each and every location opened my eyes in a different way. I will be very fortunate if my list keeps growing as I get older.
