Yay! Carl has posted teasers of our engagement session at Schiller Park. I'm excited to see the rest!

11 days until the wedding. I'm reaching a Zen-like attitude towards it.

Holy Crap!

The wedding is 3 weeks and 2 days away. Yike shnike that is getting close...and there seems to be an endless to-do list still! Ugh! I can't wait until its over :)

Aisle Music

This weekend, Tom and I were listening to records and combining our CD collections. It was bliss. We were listening to my Tears for Fears album and "Head Over Heels" came on. That is like, one of my top five favorite songs of all time. It's like that guy on Seinfeld and "Desparado". While I was dreamily staring off into space listening to it, Tom suggests that I walk down the aisle to it. Why hadn't I thought of that before? Hello! Perfect!!

Of course, his mom will think it is completely inappropriate. But she is so painfully traditional, it hurts me. Actually, I would go as far to say her traditionalism offends me on a personal level. So her disapproval usually makes me happy, except that she seems to think her opinion carries more weight than it should. That's always annoying. She trash talks everything else about the wedding, so why not this?

Amazon is happiness!

OMG I JUST FOUND PETE AND PETE ON AMAZON OMG OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Sorry, I'm giddy at the prospect of watching Pete and Pete. And Artie, the strongest man - in the world!

I am further excited by the purchases of string quartet tributes to Foo Fighters and Queen! I wanted the string version of "Everlong" but was even more excited to be able to walk down the aisle to Queen's "Best Friend" in strings! Not only is it completely awesome, appropriate, and not that common, but that is a couple checks off the old to-do list as well!

Wheee!!!

WTF

I should not have discovered this site so early on a Friday morning: www.regretsy.com. Holy cow this is some addictive shit. There goes my productivity...

Eurotrash

me: I told the cake lady that our theme was "Eurotrash". You know, lots of white cubes.
TH: You actually said "Eurotrash" to her?
me: Yes.
TH: This is why I am marrying you.

Finished!

The condo party for Betsy and Dan to finish off the liquor before they move to Chicago was a bad idea. It sounded good in theory: there is one shot of vodka in the bottom, or 2 shots of peach schnapps, etc so we just made drinks to finish them. Except for that I forgot how bad it is for me when liquors mix...most people were deathly ill by the time the party ended. And I imagine were ill the rest of the next day, like I was. I had my cake tasting and could barely keep it down! Such a bad idea. Such a bad one. I should have known better...
