Protecting me from the menace.
To throw you a bone because I haven’t gotten more wedding photos up and because I’ve been busier over at GMS, here’s my Maid of Honor speech from the wedding.
More to come from Wedding Weekend, I promise!
Closing the windows, making soup.
This week is flying by, due to a busy week at work, and a busy life at home.
On the agenda has been lots of Modern Family with Jeff. We’re almost through the first season, and we just started it last week.
We’ve also done laundry, I had a ladies night, we caught up with an old friend last night, and tonight Jeff heads to the OC to hang out with his bro. I am going to video chat with Corelyn and make zucchini bread, pasta fagioli, and a cake if I have time.
Which, obviously is the best night in a lady could ask for. Especially if this weather keeps it up. It’s finally getting chilly around here, which means I may put away my summer clothes (aka two thirds of my wardrobe) soon. We even closed the windows last night. And tonight, the low is 53. Soup, here I come.
On the agenda this weekend is a drive-in, shopping, maybe cleaning, going through the selects of photos from Nikki’s wedding, and getting you up to date on the biggest party Camp Waterloo had ever seen (and probably ever will see.)
I will leave you with a few shots of the big day!
crafty, craftier, craftiest.
A few more crafts needed to be completed for Nikki’s wedding and I needed a little help. Partly because I was behind and partly because I’m not great at crafts. Luckily, the girls were coming over for Book Club and I was hosting, so I coaxed them into being my crafting buddies. Luckily, Cricket’s mom was in town, and she’s full of crafty knowledge and really did such excellent work I can’t even take credit for really any of the final product.
Here are the beginnings of the bouquet.
Look, me helping.
The lovely Jess, also making flowers.
The magical glue gun that Cricket’s mom suggested we use. So smart!
The silver clothespins to hold the seating chart cards.
29 days.
I had a long post in my mind for yesterday about all I have to do for my sister’s wedding, about how nervous I am, yadda yadda. About the need for a pedicure and my gross nail to fall off and a diet to start and a tan to even.
Alas, I fell ill, instead, and spent the afternoon on the couch wondering why summer colds exist at all.
Now, 29 days to go, I’m back at it. Things to do include get my dress back, make sure it fits, double check the list with my sister (all the lists, that is), write my speech, make sure the shoes I have will work, and generally prep myself for this day.
I am also starting a diet that will help me feel great for the big day. Things to cut? Unnecessary sugars, carbs, and most things I don’t “need.” Like the milk chocolate covered raisins at my desk, or the extra helping of pasta because it’s not enough to save for leftovers, or the handful of lentil curls because that apple wasn’t enough…
I think that a healthy diet and some delving into P90x with Jeff (we got a copy and have to start! We must) or at LEAST getting back to three times a week work outs with yoga, running, biking, and hiking, I should be in good “shape” by the time the wedding rolls around. Pun intended.
Now I’m off to make a massive to do list so by the time Nikki gets back from Montana I have something to show for myself…
Here’s to 29 days until these two tie the knot.
