    I'm here. Exhausted from work this week and FI is playing a computer game.

    How was your day?

    Here.  Watching last nights Private Practice.  I'm feeling sick I ate way too much at dinner even though I packed half my meal up to take home.  Working on a paper.
    DH is playing poker.  He leaves in the morning for Beerfest so I'm trying to stay up so I can see him when he gets home.

    I'm here too. SO made grilled lamb tonight and it was delish. I made bacon Brussels sprouts to go with it, and now I'm in a food coma watching re-runs of SVU and Say Yes to the Dress. Weird combo, I know, heh.

    I'm also working on my DOC business plan and ideas for my website. I finally told my mom about my idea today and she's really excited. She's been wanting me to go into event planning or something related for a long time now, so after talking to her I'm even more motivated now.

    Was it just me, or was this week super long? I was so glad when today was done, it was a little ridiculous, heh.

    Drink, what's your H going to do at Beerfest (besides drinking beer, of course)?
  • edited December 2011
    Him and his friends go every year.  They try all these different beers than go to the casinos, stay over night, gamble some more and come home.
    Last year they went and it was for DH's bach party (the year before was for one of his friends bach party), but they have gone every year for the past few years. (At least since we've been together),
    They buy their tix as soon as they go on sale.

    J brews beer and I go to them a lot.  It's a good opportunity to taste different beers and get ideas.  His bro brews too and they went to a festival in Baltimore for his bachelor party.  That's why his bro would have loved it.  Instead this bachelor party is sort of unplanned and flying by the seat of it's pants lol.

    Music Heals,  I love our wedding video.  I don't even notice that it's "you get what you pay for".  I LOVE it.  I laugh and cry at everything lol.

    My mom just called and her hot water heater broke, so her and my brother will be showering here this weekend.  I am also now hosting a dinner Saturday and a dinner Sunday, so I've gotta clean this place up ugh.

    I could use a beer too. For real. 3 screaming kids and a chatty 11 year old? I love them to pieces, but I need a vacation. Too bad the next one won't be till December...

    I knew what you meant, I thought you were taking courses to get a cert.  I actually just mailed away for a brochure to see what it was about.  That's why I asked.  I have been having a hard time finding jobs in my field and my husband suggested I look into it but I sent away for wedding planner info not just day of.  I hate my job right now and I pretty much planned our wedding myself and I miss it.

    Me and FI brew beer too! Just for fun though, he's never entered in any contests or anything. We got into a few years ago. So much fun!

    HAH I wish I was drunk knotting. I'm trying to keep my alcohol intake under control until the wedding is over. SAD FACE.

    Oooh, maybe we could go into business together! :) I wanted to be an event planner, but I don't have the money to go back to school and then start my own business, or to quit my job and intern at an existing planning company, and I realized that the DOC stuff is the party I really really love to do anyway, so I figure that's something I can do on my own without having to take classes. I've done it for a few of my friends weddings, and figure I will do my first ones for free in order to get credibility and referrals and what not.

    Where did you send away to get the planning info from? I know that Delaware County Community College has wedding planning classes for fairly reasonable prices, so I may take those just to get some more credibility as well.

    lemma, we brew and enter!  It's a lot of fun and you meet so many people.  DH loves it and I love he has so much fun with it.  I do live in South Philly but I work on the main line and don't get home til after 7 (after happy hour) :(   I gotta get a new job!!!!!

    Cackle,  I can get back to you.  I hid the info from DH b/c I'm only thinking about it at this point and I don't remember where I got it from.  I'll find it tomorrow and let you know.  I'm really interested in it though.  I also teach dance lessons  (I have my degree in dance ed)  and have thought about starting a "first dance" business.  I really would love to work in the wedding industry!

    Stacy, awesome, thanks! And if you like, I can keep you posted as I'm going through the process of starting my business. I work for a holdings company for a local gym chain right now, and so we're always opening new gyms and I've learned all about what all is involved in opening a business. Also my boss, who is the owner, is totally cool and is being really helpful when I have questions. She's also a lawyer which is nice because she's going to help me with contracts and such.

    I think your "first dance" business idea is awesome! I def think there's a market for that around here too. More and more the weddings I go to people are having a choregraphed first dance, and I love it. I know I want to that when I finally tie the knot, so maybe I could be one of your customers!

    Thanks Cackle!!  Definitely keep me updated. I'll get that info to you ASAP.  I don't know how legit it is but they sent me a packet.
    DH has a business cert from Wharton so he has offered to help me out billions of times but I'm just so scared to take that leap.  I'm actually choreographing my cousins first dance for her wedding in November so I figure, I'll see how that goes and take it from there.
    I have to tell you that I planned on choreographing my own first dance with DH but with all of the other planning, it got pushed aside lol.  Go figure ;)

    I'm here now!  Also drunk knotting...this can't be a good thing.  I'm on my 2.5 glass of wine.  It's freaking tasty.  Also $10.
