Showering, bathing...ya know, the usual

Since I've had a few personal things come up in my life I haven't been posting. Don't feel too neglected though since I have also done very little by the way of wedding planning as well. lol

I did make good progress by cleaning the apartment. That might sound odd, but a clean environment does wonders to clear your mind. I don't subscribe to all that feng shui stuff but I do honestly feel that if your life is full of clutter that you will begin to feel stifled by those things, those possessions, that junk that piles itself around you.

I'll be singing a different tune when we find a home since all of our earthly possessions combined will never fully furnish a home. We can't even have more than two guests over for a meal in the apartment we currently live in because we don't have enough chairs, spoons, or bowls to go around.

Speaking of random kitchen things, I have completed registering (I think). I keep changing my mind. Maybe I want more goblets, but then maybe I don't because I don't really even know what people drink out of goblets. I'm not terribly well versed in these things. Like I know wine glasses are for wine, martini glasses are used for martinis, etc....but I'm not entirely sure what beverage you serve out of a goblet. Gobletinis, anyone?

My mother has asked me what a shower is because her mind went directly to the shower you take to bathe. I explained it's an event pretty much centered around gift giving that brings together family and friends from both sides that happen to all be female. I don't know why men are excluded. It seems a bit antiquated to me but who am I to question tradition?

We had a shower on Friday for a girl at work who's getting married this month. I feel somewhat bad because my team members are also aware of my impending nuptials and probably feel obliged to throw me one too so I don't feel alienated. And I feel kind of bad because by no means should anyone feel obligated to chip in one red cent towards me. I didn't even tell anyone when my birthday was so they wouldn't feel obliged to bake anything.

Such is life in a cubicle farm; any occasion for cake will typically bring out the whole team. ;)

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 ...
