1.  How soaked did you get this morning on your "slushy" commute?
My feet are still damp... damn office parks in the middle of Bellevue swamps.

2.  What did you have for breakfast?
English muffin with homemade strawberry jam, and some green/black tea blend.

3.  What one WR (or NWR) thing is getting you "throat-punching" mad right now?
My aunt canceling out on making the wedding cupcakes, I'm not as "throat-punchy" as yesterday though.  I really wish she could have told me BEFORE the wedding show I went to last weekend.

4.  What is your favorite cake flavor?
Red Velvet is a good staple.

5.  What's your favorite registry item? Post photo for extra points
I'm not finished registering, but right now my favorite item is luggage!  Because I don't have ANY and am excited to not be ghetto anymore at the airport with my duffle bag!




6.  How many people are in your WP?  BMs?  GMs? etc
2 MOHs, 3 BMs for me.  And 1 BM and 5 GMs for FI.  So 11 total.

7.  If you had to change your wedding colors, what would they be?
Purple and gold... Husky pride!  I really love purple too.

8.  Are there any movies coming out soon that you're looking forward to?
Maybe the Green Hornet.

9.  What temperature do you usually keep your home heated during the winter?
60 to 65

10.  Any interesting weekend plans?
Watching the Seahawks game on Sunday morning (not sure where yet) and maybe some cupcake/cake tasting on Saturday... haven't heard back from the vendor yet (just sent email this morning).

11.  What kind of undergarments are you going to wear for your wedding?
Idk, a strapless bra.  I think I'll go commando, since I'll have enough trouble going to the bathroom with my huge dress w/o having to deal with panty removal every time I have to pee.

12.  Do you have any Facebook friends that you're only friends with because of all the hot mess drama they post?  If so, please share.
Yes!  There is this one girl who was de-pledged from my sorority while I was a senior, which was the first de-pledgeing I have ever heard of.  But that chick was bat-sh*t crazy, so it was totally understandable.  Well, she friended me a year or two ago, and since then she got involved with a married man, and got KTFU.  She posts almost daily about how much she hates the baby daddy, and doesn't understand why he doesn't love her and their son.  Their story (and hers) is so much of a train-wreck.  I feel really bad for her baby, but she lives with her parents... so hopefully her parents are more sane than she is.

13.  Who is your favorite Etsy seller?
I haven't bought anything from Etsy yet, but there is this one seller I'm looking at for a royal blue petticoat.  I think I'll place the order in a week or two.

14.  What book are you currently reading?  Or what was the last book you read?
I'm currently reading "The Space Between Us."

15.  What is your usual make-up routine?
SPF 15 moisturizer, foundation/coverup, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, and lip balm, lip gloss if I'm feeling fancy.

16.  What does your FI's (or DH's) wedding ring look like?  Post photo if possible
No ring yet for FI, hoping to go shopping around Valentine's Day for some good deals.

17.  What wedding tradition do you have NO desire to have as a part of your wedding?
Cake smashing.  I told FI that I would nut-check him if he tried to smash cake in my face.

18.  Where are you going for your Honeymoon?
West Maui

19.  How soon after your wedding are you leaving for your Honeymoon?
2 days afterward.  Wedding is on a Saturday, Honeymoon flight on Monday.

20.  What is your favorite item to buy at Trader Joes?
Black bean dip.... I LOVE that stuff.  I wish they sold it by the gallon.

kinmir30

1.  How soaked did you get this morning on your "slushy" commute?

2.  What did you have for breakfast?
an everything bagel thin with a banana

3.  What one WR (or NWR) thing is getting you "throat-punching" mad right now?
umm....idk. still don't have a videographer....but also, haven't asked the BP and it is very frustrating.  I am having a really hard time (lots of drama and.....really not that many good friends...)....I would probably not have any bridesmaids if I could, but FI really wants them...

4.  What is your favorite cake flavor?
Kelli said that she could do my top layer a Tiramisu! That is my favorite thing ever!

UGH!!!! IDK yet. I am so frustrated and aggravated about this peice of wedding planning. I had planned on having my younger sister and one my friends...and was going to figure out one more. But....long story but...my sister isn't really talking to me right now and chances are she wont even be at the wedding...and my friend and I got in a stupid fight a few months ago and haven't really talked since. I have been trying to decide if our friendship is worth making up or what. I keep going back and forth. One day I am like....I'll send her a message and tell her its stupid and then the next day, I start feeling hurt again by her actions and decide its not worth it! UGH! Anyway, FI knows who he wants. I just cant figure anything out because I really don't have anyone to ask at this point. FML Advice?

7.  If you had to change your wedding colors, what would they be?
IDK. I like my wedding colors. Maybe I would go with blue? We are doing a beach wedding and blue isn't our color...and it seems like everything beachy comes in blue.  But I just didn't want that.

8.  Are there any movies coming out soon that you're looking forward to?
The Dilemma...and there was an Adam Sandler movie that I just saw previews for that looked funny.

9.  What temperature do you usually keep your home heated during the winter?
70ish ----i am ALWAYS cold

10.  Any interesting weekend plans?
debating if I should go to the tacoma wedding expo. there is a videographer that we want to book, but he wasn't at the show last weekend and i think he might be at the tacoma one because thats where i have seen him before....and i just was hoping he would have some sort of deal....

11.  What kind of undergarments are you going to wear for your wedding?
haven't worked that out yet. I was actually thinking I would need to wear like some spandex shorts under it or something because everytime i try those damn things on, my thighs get so sweaty.

12.  Do you have any Facebook friends that you're only friends with because of all the hot mess drama they post?  If so, please share.
I guess you could say that. I have this girl in my friends who I was friends with about ten years ago and then she moved. Now she is always posting about how she wants a husband so she can have a new baby. shits crazy! recently I told her maybe she should consider going to school and making a life for herself........she didn't quite like that.

13.  Who is your favorite Etsy seller?
i don't have one

Been a long time since I checked in. Wedding planning is like on the backburner lately. This seemed like a fun way to try and get back into the swing of things.

Not too bad. I got more soaked going to the gym this morning. My sneakers are not waterproof.
