Christmas

Merry Christmas to all! I had a wonderful Christmas & I hope everyone else did as well! I'm getting ready to go to a little after Christmas bargain hunting now. I'll update later!

Crazy Times

Well, I fell down a flight of stairs today! OUUCCHH!!! I'm 99% sure nothing is broken. My big knobby knees broke my fall, and I can walk without aid, so I'm sure I'll be fine when the swelling goes down. Do you ever feel that maybe life would be better if we were all equipped with some sort safety cushion?? I DO! It would be nice if we when knew we were about to be hurt, we could just push a button and all of the sudden a big cushion would just pop out and blow up like a life jacket?? It would have come in handy today... Until next time....

To Drink, or Not to Drink...

This is the question. Can a party still be fun if no alcohol is involved? I'm not necessarily against a dry party. I've been to a few dry parties that were actually quite wonderful! I'm just not sure that MY party (i.e. my wedding reception) should be a dry party. Don't get me wrong - I'm no booze hound. In fact, more often than not, my body completely revolts when I put alcohol in it. I've spent many-a-hangover swearing off drinking for the rest of my life. This being said - I do enjoy a few drinks socially every now and then. So I'm debating this issue of serving alcohol at the wedding. Someone very close to me is COMPLETELY 100% against it. In fact, she has made it clear that she will LEAVE if there is even a champagne toast. She has also hinted at the fact that a band would be inappropriate. The loud music is too much like a bar. But then, on the other hand, we are having quite a few out-of-town guests whom I'm sure would be a little disappointed if their only choices of drink are punch or sparkling grape juice, and they are forced to listen to elevator music. So how can I be sure that if I choose to serve beer, champagne, or wine that my guests won't all get knee-walking tanked at my wedding?? If this were to happen, not only would I be offended, but someone very close to me would be APPALLED! I don't want a rocking out, party hard, let's all get wasted & party like it's 1999 booze-fest. But I would like for everyone to have the option to drink responsibly if they so choose. And I wouldn't mind hearing a little "Mustang Sally" and having a good dance vibe going on. So in an effort to please everyone I'm considering my options. Two receptions? One for the conservative guests & another for the crowd ready to put their boogie shoes on? This option is not so feasible. In fact, it's not at ALL feasible. I guess we could always elope! We'd be just as married, and we could drink all we wanted if we flew to Vegas. So let's refer back to my earlier post about decisiveness - I HAVE NONE. I'm aware this really isn't a big deal in the scheme of things. There are bigger fish to fry. But I'm just peeved that I can't please everyone (as I SO LOVE to do). Oh well - just another day in paradise...

Decisions, Decisions...

I suck at making decisions. I mean I'm really, really bad at it. I don't know why, but for some reason I HATE being the one to make a final decision. It doesn't matter if we are talking about who to vote for, or what to eat for dinner. I can't decide. So you can imagine the frustration with trying to plan a wedding... GEEEEZ, so many colors, so many venues, so many styles, so many DECISIONS!! I picked a wedding date. Then I changed it. Then I changed it again. And I'm pretty sure I've changed it since then. I really hope this gets easier. I can't believe I picked out a dress. I had a hand-me-down dress I could have worn. Then another friend offered to let me wear her sister's GORGEOUS dress. I couldn't decide. So what did I do?? Go shopping, of course! Can you believe I passed up a free dress for a NOT free dress? All because I suck at making decisions!?! I must be insane...

I'm a nerd by association.

Well, boredom has taken over finally taken over. I've been reading other people's blogs all day at work and I'm thinking - " I should blog!" If I know myself (and I think I do) I'll never keep it up. I'll post a few times and then give up. Maybe... I guess we'll see! I'm really thinking I will use this blog to keep everyone updated on the upcoming wedding. I am so excited about it! I want to share my plans with everyone... I am really just hoping that it turns out beautiful and everyone has a good time. The big day is December 12, 2009. I CAN'T WAIT! :)
