Mmmm...Shoes

Ughhhhh my head hurts. I'm having a small fit of allergies & it's a shock to my system to feel so crummy.

Apart from that...it's been a pretty good weekend. It's been a very food-y weekend. They opened up a Price Chopper in Windsor so they've been having opening sales and I stocked up on pretty much the best of everything. We had lobsters for dinner on Friday, Salmon on Saturday and Steaks today. It's not often that we splurge on such good savory foods, but it's also nice because we grilled everything and Trevor had a dominant hand in food prep this time.

I'm a control freak in the kitchen. I'm not a control freak anywhere else really, it's just specifically food and kitchen related. I'm working on it, but I find that I can't help but get anxiety watching Trevor do something in the kitchen...my kitchen.

Anyway...we ate like kings this weekend so I'm sure that I'll kick myself if I'm not healthy all work-week long. Susan's wedding is next Sunday too so clearly there will be much celebration. She's so cute, I got her thank you card this week for the shower gifts. I hope she's doing okay since it's so close...I'm sure I'll be a mess this same time next year.

I'm feeling good so far. I got some cute Unisa shoes this weekend on sale that I intend to use for my wedding. They're really comfy. I'm a notorious shoe addict, but comfort is not something I usually care about when I'm shopping. Clearly it's important that I can enjoy my wedding day without being crippled by my sore feet so I had to try on what feels like a million shoes before finding something I felt 100% comfortable in.

I can't find the exact shoe, but this is very much like it except the straps are a little different and mine are taupe with gold piping instead of white.I feel like I could walk in these all day. The moment I put them on I knew they were good for dancing in. On the other hand I also bought some va-va-va voom Guess? shoes. I think every girl needs a pair of shoes that make her feel hot.

These clearly were not purchased with comfort in mind but I love them. I've worn them around the apartment all weekend. lol

PSA: Wet Seal/Contempo Casuals is having a sale. If you like cheap clothes on sale it worth taking a peek. It's nothing you want to wear to work, but it's good umm...what I'd call disposable tops that are trendy and you know won't survive more than one season.

The Jury is out

So Jury duty was a very long day. They didn't pick me so luckily I had some time on my hands to get some random grocery shopping done. The major Asian grocery store I'm familiar with is unfortunately a bit of a hike from my home so I rarely go but since I was already in Hartford it was very close. Where else can you get a gallon sized jug of my favorite Chinese Soy Sauce and and aisles of difficult to read food labels? In any case we looked at 3 houses this week. The ones in Manchester were...ugh...dumps. The Windsor house though was lovely...and of course the most expensive. But on the bright side it's in a very cute area and while there's not a lot of land the house is very large and seemingly well kept up. We've seen a lot of really disgusting houses. I can't begin to express how unkempt people allow their houses to become. So if all goes according to plan we'll have a house by the time the wedding rolls around. And yes I am aware that sounds li...

Overworked

I'm a lazy lazy lady. To be honest I'm too burned out from work to do anything, even motivate myself to make dinner more than 3 nights a week. For me that's a big deal and I'm already feeling guilty about not putting more nutritious homemade fare on my table. You can't be Superwoman, after all. In semi-wedding news, I received a Save The Date magnet in the mail from my pal Jenny's mom. :) I think that's a very cute idea, and Trevor ever so briefly also wanted magnets but has seemingly forgotten all about that. I personally don't care all that much because it's not a necessity of wedding planning. I think it's a lovely idea, but I'm not organized enough right now to get that all done, buy stamps, get addresses to send them out to...etc. I love my mom but she's only good for pointing out everything she doesn't agree with, which in certain situations is helpful, but not for this. I love her, but my mom is...unique. I think a lot ...

It's a work on progress

Holidays? Good. I don't have much to say about it because it was nice. Non-dramatic. No burned turkey. Turkey day with my husband's family. I love them, they're so cute. Day after with my family. Lots of deboned turkey stuffed with duck was consumed. I guess my mom was moved to make one after hearing about Devin's Turduckhen. I worked Friday because I was not fast enough on the draw to ask for it off and my coworkers were. Not like anyone called or emailed or anything. So it was a pretty good day to catch up and work on stuff I'd been having difficulty with. I did go to HRD's Hair Cut-a-thon because they had a deal where they were donating food to the Windsor Food Bank. If you brought in 6 items you could get a wash, cut and blow dry for $10. Of course I brought in way more than 6 items, but that's mostly in part to my love for food drives. I know there are people worse off than me and my husband is annoyingly negative and will stand on his high ...
