Hey there. Felt the urge to blog today - is that a documented medical condition yet? Anyways, I've missed having the time (or making the time, more accurately) to write and connect with you fine people. So here is a new method I'm trying (inspired by Orchid Grey) to organize my thoughts on the week.

This week I am:
Planning for ... duh, THE WEDDING! Found a wonderful florist, had engagement photos (round II) taken by our fabulous photographer, and just generally getting stuff done. Also excited to throw my best friend her wedding shower next month!
Excited about ... learning Photoshop! I needed to for work, but taking the classes and practicing on my own has been really rewarding and I feel that I'm gaining a really marketable skill. Props for professional development!
Stressed about ... Oh, just getting things done. Like save the dates, invitations, guest list, band/dj (the ongoing debate), bridesmaids dresses, catering contracts, decor, showers. And having to have opinions on EVERYTHING.
Grateful for ... Spending time with special people. Seeing my grandparents. Meeting florists with my mom. Brunch with my girl Dana. Sunday nights with my SB family. And every evening with my love. I'm a lucky girl.
Proud of ... Matt and me! We are doing so well on our healthy living goals. Combined, we've lost about 50 pounds. I can't wait to get our measurements taken again to see how many inches we've lost, too.
Personal goal ... Make a photobook. Read this post by Younghouselove and got instantly stressed that we a.) almost never take pictures and b.) almost never do things with the pictures we have. We are making so many memories this year that I want to preserve them.
Praying for ... People and animals out in the cold. This winter is just brutal and everyday I'm grateful for being inside and warm.
Ok, and now the fluffy stuff:
Reading ... The Twelve, by Justin Cronin. This deserves a whole post on its own, but read the first in the series, The Passage, rightnow.
Watching ... Um not much. No Modern Family or Nashville episodes last night, wtf? Top Chef is over (what a crappy finale, too). I don't know what to do with myself. At least the season finale of Mindy was awesome.
Listening to.... Other than "Thrift Shop," I'm enjoying my Pitch Perfect Pandora station. What? A Capella is hot right now.
Amazing post. I loved this and might steal the format. Still craving brunch again...so amazing. And I'm feeling you on the lack of TV shows. It's been a strange week. The rest of it is coming together. And 50 lbs?! Yea!!
ReplyDeletelove,

It's so good to see a new post from you in my feed! I feel you on the TV shows. We just did a marathon of Doctor Who (all 6-1/2 seasons of the reboot in about 2 months) and now all our regular shows suck in comparison. Also, the Top Chef finale was horrible! I would have been pleased with either winner and I thought it was cool that Kristen battled her way back in and won. But Bravo royally screwed up the format and the timing of the episode! Seriously Bravo, you're going to announce the winner of the 4th course at 9:56?
ReplyDeleteBlegh, I know. I was so disappointed.
DeleteGlad to be back and glad to see your comments, Selah! I'm going to try to be better about posting, but I gotta admit - when life gets busy, blogging is the first to go. Take care!
You can always blog about wedding details. I'm interested! :)
