Falling Fast

At 34 years old I should know better than to go out on a "school" night! And granted it was only dinner with a girlfriend but you add wine and dessert and it quickly turns into... "I should call in sick in the morning". And no, not because I am hung over, but because I am sooooo tired! I can not keep my eyes open!!! I wonder if I can be like George Castanza and make a bed underneath my desk? What a fun evening though.... talked about my upcoming bridal shower next weekend, the wedding (Oct. 16th for inquiring minds), the after party and the usual gossip about the people we know. Now when I say "gossip", I don't mean that vicious mean gossip but the "Hey did you know that so and so is no longer working at so and so?" That kind of stuff. Ever been to Fraiche? Highly highly recommend! Very good food. Oh my gosh, I am so tired! I started this entry at 1:45pm. Had to go into a meeting at 2pm and just stepped out. So now I need even more of a nap... I'm done.

Its the little things

You don't realize how lucky you are until a single moment snaps in front of you. Nothing bad happened (thank goodness!) but I just had such a lovely evening! It started out like every other evening does... come home from work, go to the gym and then make dinner for Rich and I. As usual when I leave the office, I call my mom to check in. (I am SUCH a good daughter... and very modest too.) She says that our favorite flavor of frozen yogurt is back at Go Yogurt! (YEAH!!!!!). She also tells me that a gift arrived for our wedding. So she wants to know if Rich and I would like some frozen yogurt after dinner and she will bring over the gift. So I call mom after dinner and she and my dad come over (did I mention that Rich and I bought a home in the same neighborhood as my parents? And when I say the same neighborhood, I mean I can see their house from my backyard!). What I thought was going to be a 5-10 minute visit turned into an hour and a half. And I could not have been happier. It wasn't that we had this wonderful conversation, but just to be around my daddy, my mom and Rich all gathering in the backyard on a lovely summer evening to enjoy some frozen yogurt and the company was just a little moment that I can take with me forever. Thanks mom and dad. I love you.

In complete & Utter

SHOCK! I have a reader! OMG! I think that I might go into shock... But no, instead I went and grabbed the peanut butter pretzels. These damn things are so addicting. I was trying to eat my daily allowance (11) which allows me 150 calories... but I am very steadily creeping to the 20 pretzel mark. MUST STOP NOW! (Okay, one more than they are going away!) So the wedding planning... going completely and totally easy! Something you probably have never come out of a soon-to-be bride's mouth! Flowers are decided upon and reserved, musicians are reserved, chairs are reserved, dress is getting altered (I swear they ordered that thing 2 sizes too big just to get more $$$$ out of me!), grooms tuxes on order, etc. etc. It does help that the wedding ceremony and following reception is only for 20 people. That helps. A little. But then there is the after party. Being held in our home for our close friends and family. That small intimate gathering of 30 people or so has turned into an 86 person guest list. AUGH!!!! SO that is what I am in the midst or working on now. Got the invites done (Thanks Kopy King in Simi Valley) and the food decided... now the decor, tent the backyard or not (November party... probably will be cold.. tent the backyard), etc. etc. But I got a fabulous dress for it. And that is all the really matters... right? Until next time... A

So not in the mood

So I started off the day today wishing for one of these: Don't really know why since I am not a drinker, but a little OJ and some champagne just sounded delicious. It is still 10:30, so I am still hoping for one. I am at work and I can not concentrate since I am not feeling really great. It is a good think that I am not as buried as I was the last few weeks. That was awful. Now atleast I have some breathing room. Good thing too. But now I need to go out and get the next big thing for me. Still not sure how long I will keep up this blogging... especially cause I have no readers. :-( Its okay, its all good.

Boredom

So it is Sunday afternoon and I have been waiting all day for Rich to come home. So I am extremely disappointed to find out his flight is delayed 2 hours!!!! I am so bummed about that. He will not even get home until close to midnight. What does this mean.... that I am going to be extremely tired tomorrow, since I will wait up for him. I wish I could just go to sleep and then wake up when I here him come through the door... but that will not happen. I guess that as long as he gets home safely that is all the matters.... I just wish it was sooner than later. :-(

3 months

Well, as of Friday there is 3 months to go until I am Alisa Lansdale. Looks strange to me. I wanted this for so long that now I am almost there it is going to go soooo slowly.

Thought I would share a couple of the engagement pics.

Isn't he the sweetest. I love this picture

Love that he is so much taller than me!

Our little family! Daisy had to be a part of our picture session!

*shocker*

Told you I can keep up a journal! I never could as a kid, so I knew I could not as an adult either! 3 months to the wedding. Getting anxious because we have so much to do and so little time! Soooooooo do not feel like writing tonight..... See ya!
