Pedi-Party

I'm one sleepy lady. I should go to bed at like 10 to avoid being a zombie all weekend too.

Anyway...it's been a short work week and suddenly it's already Thursday. Nini's supposed to be coming back home here to CT this weekend since she invited me to go to a BBQ on Sunday at her parents' house. She's dragging along her boyfriend so I'm happy to finally meet him. She'll also get to meet my Trevor at long last. (It's been a long time since I've last seen her...almost three years.) So I'm happy to be able to see her again since all through college I considered her one of my closest friends and I've asked her to be one of my bridesmaids. At this rate I won't see her again until my wedding day. lol

Otherwise there is much laundry to be done this weekend. Oh, and Kim's moving so I might drop in and lend her a hand. Yesterday we had a little pedi-party at Kim's pad in Springfield, which now that I think of it may have been one of the last times I'll be there. Kim & I have done little pedicure get togethers on our own, but this time Viki and Anya came too. I dragged along a few "clubby" shirts that I haven't worn in at least 2 years to see if anyone wanted them. I also took a red dress and a pair of sky-high black wedge lace up sandals. Kim claimed the shoes and dress and Anya took most of the other tops. We promised to do a clothing swap another day since everyone has tons of clothes that are perfectly good but just not worn regularly anymore. I have tons and tons of clothes I don't wear anymore since now that I'm a young professional I simply don't wear half of the cute, but work inappropriate clothes I have.

Ah, to be young, carefree and able to wear teeny tiny tops.

I guess that ever since Trevor and I moved in together our overall desire to go out and dress up has gone way down too. It used to be that every week or two we'd want to go out to the bar. But now it's so much easier to just stay inside and watch movies, browse the plethora of wedding stuff I still need to buy, and cook. To be fair, weddings are expensive...I need to save my pennies in favor of having a more blinged out wedding band. ;) At least I have well placed priorities.

I have a major desire to cook something fun this weekend too. I was thinking maybe whipping up something Thai. I love Thai food, and it's very fresh and healthy feeling, unlike my want for Chicken McNuggets since they keep running commercials about buy one get one nuggets.

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 ...
