Good morning!

julezlee

How is everyone?  What are you up to today? 

I just woke up from a night of crazy, crazy dreams.  The last one involved me getting it on with this friend I had in Austin who was really into me but I never had any interest in sleeping with.  I was also complimenting his sense of style.  Weird and disturbing.

Today, not much planned besides watching more Lost.  I think DH is finally going to go see Avatar.  I'm passing on that one because 3D stuff often triggers migraines for me.

morning.

I have no plans.  DH is working.   I was still asleep when he left so he took the car.  It's kind of annoying because I have nothing to eat here.

Morning! I was wondering where everybody was.

Avatar was really worth the price of admission. Sure, the story is uber-simplistic (gee folks, did you know that the environment is good and imperialists are evil?) but the visuals live up to all the insane praise they've been giving. If there's one thing I can say, it's that I certainly wasn't bored.

I'm going to be spending my day getting my stuff organized and car packed to head to Milwaukee tomorrow to spend a few weeks with FI. Tomorrow, I get to drive sixteen hours in a car by myself, which should be somewhat ridiculous.

Morning! I should be busy re-packing my suitcase, because it's bursting at the seams and I know there's still stuff to add. I'm flying to Knoxville this afternoon, still slightly in shock that our wedding is in a week.

sarah0725

Thanks mags! I'll probably need the luck... I start to go a bit loopy around hour 11.

Congrats, opalsky! That's exciting that it's so soon.

julezlee

That's so exciting, Opal!  Do you have stuff you still need to do?

Sarah - 16 hours sounds like far too long to drive in one day during the winter.  Yay for getting to spend time with your FI.

Mag - If it gave you a headache, that seals the deal that I'm not going.  I don't want to spend $11 just to have to leave because it's making me sick.  I'll enjoy a nice nap while DH is watching it.

Lynda - Really not cool to leave you with no food.

Yay... I can't believe it's in a week?

General rule of thumb in packing.  Lay everything out and then only take half.   For my OOT wedding/HM  I only had a carry-on and one medium suitcase. I was gone 3.5 weeks and was in places with 80 degree weather and 50 degree weather.  I only had to buy one article of clothing because I forgot something.

I'm here.  Getting ready to go to a baby shower, then dinner with the FMIL.  Trying to reorganize my week.  My grandmother died yesterday (not suddenly, it was expected but still sad) so I'm going to Milwaukee Wednesday through Saturday for the funeral and stuff.

It was an honest mistake.  He saw me sleeping and did not want to wake me up because I "looked so sweet and peaceful". 

He rarely eats at home, so he didn't realize there wasn't anything there.

opalsky007

Sure do, Julez. Sure do. I've slacked off a lot this week since I've been sick. Thankfully my BMs and FILs are awesome and plan on setting up a little wedding factory in FBIL's apartment.

We still don't have a seating chart, so that's kept me from making seating cards. I also haven't printed and assembled the programs. Our favors (boxes of chocolate truffles) and OOT bags will also be kind of a last minute deal. And no marriage license yet!

This week's gonna be a blast.

opalsky007

Thanks for the advice, Lynda.

Loopy, I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. Even when it's expected, it's still so hard. Safe travels.

lyndausvi

loopy - sorry about your grandmother.  My grandma died in 1992 and I still think about her everyday.

Loopyseven

Thanks!  I'm a little all over the map emotionally.  One minute I'm okay, the next something stupid is making me cry .  FI is not quite sure what to do with me but bless him, he's trying.  A baby shower should be a nice way to keep my mind off stuff and think happy thoughts .

My DH does the same thing sometimes.  And I'm like but honey I needed to tell you X, Y and Z before you left! 

Loopy - I'm so sorry. 

Opal - As long as you've got some good help, you'll be fine. And if everything doesn't get done, that's fine too as long as you get your license.

sarah0725

I'm very sorry to hear about your grandma, Loopy. Expected or not, it is very sad.

Hoping the drive won't be too bad... as long it is a clear day, I should be fine. *runs off to check weather.com*

Loopyseven

Sarah - the sun is shining in Cleveland if you come through this way.  

lyndausvi

julez - it so rare I'm asleep when he leaves, I'm sure he didn't even think about it.  Not only am I normally the first one up, he normally does not leave work until after 9am anyway.  Which is very late for me to still be sleeping.

It all good, I'm going to call him to make him feel guilty and make him leave to pick me up some food (we only live 5 minutes from work).

sarah0725

Good to know, Loopy! I will be headed through Cleveland, since I'm taking Route 80 most of the way. It looks like I might hit some snow along the way, but not more than an inch or two, which shouldn't slow me up too much. I'm glad not to see any blizzards.

My FI is also guilty of either running out the door or hanging up the phone while I still have a long list of things to tell him. He's funny on the phone, because he'll just be sitting there talking about something and then decide that the phone conversation is over. Drives me nuts.

Loopyseven

I-80 is LONG and BORING.  Have a safe drive.  If you get tired pull over and nap.

lyndausvi

sarah... have a save drive.  

BTW - are you going to be in DE in July?   I think we are going up for 4th of July.   Maybe we can have a GTG?

sarah0725

I am armed with the soundtracks of several musicals, the Beatles, some Ella Fitagerald, and many other CDs. I have a feeling I will be having a 16-hour singalong.

sarah0725

Lynda - I'm not sure about the day of the 4th of July, as I was considering trying to be in Milwaukee that weekend to see the awesome fireworks they have over Lake Michigan with FI, but definitely keep me updated on what dates you're going to be around. My best friend's wedding is the following weekend, and I am a bridesmaid, so I will probably have to show up pretty early in the week.

Loopyseven

Sing along sounds good .  If you sing off key and no one is there to hear it, are you still off key?

lyndausvi

cool.. we have not made any firm plans yet.  But I will keep you updated.

Oh, I am going to have a blast. I have the complete symphonic recording of Les Miserables, so I think I will listen to that and do all the different voices.

Loopyseven

That does sound fun.  I think I could do all the different voices too .

Morning everyone!

DH and I worked so hard on cleaning and reorganizing a lot of out apartment yesterday, and even though there's so much more to do, we're making ourselves take a day off.

Right now I really want McDonald's for breakfast, but DH is still sleeping.  Hmm.

Loopyseven

Mmm.  Sausage egg and cheese bagel... wake him up?

Loopyseven

oh... and good morning Sucrets.

sucrets4

Morning, loopy!  I will wake him up in a bit.  Or I could just go out and get food and bring it back to him.  Hmm.

sarah0725

I am having cookies and orange juice for breakfast, because I am three years old.

Morning Sucrets!
