Photobook

I read this interesting article.

"On top of bafflement was the sense that I'd cheated. Gotten out of line and moved to the front."

In a way I feel as though I did skip to the front of the line. There are a lot of couples that have been together longer than Trevor & I have and aren't engaged yet. Though I'm very excited about being the Mrs. to his Mr., part of me feels bad for the girls who yearn for it to be their turn.

The photobook I made on Shutterfly came in today. It's very cute, and I plan to use it as my guest book for next year. It's a little photo collage of from when we met up until we got engaged in Japan. I got the 8x8 book for free since somewhere along the line I registered with David's Bridal and they sent me a promotional code for a free book as long as I paid for shipping. If I was paying for it I probably would have sprung for the bigger book, but for under $10 I certainly can't complain about what I got.

I'm a big fan of online promo codes & sales. (Thus my tons and tons of centerpiece and favors already being purchased.) I'm still trolling around the web trying to find the perfect wedding shoes though. Emily suggested getting blue shoes for them to be my something blue and I think that's a very novel idea but I haven't had much luck finding blue shoes that aren't navy. Pale blue and Tiffany blue are apparently not popular shoe colors. I might just have to settle for ivory shoes or gold shoes.

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 ...
