Rant: I'm freaking exhausted. Haven't gotten much sleep due to working on invites. Oh yeah, and CA BM...*sigh* actually I don't want to get into it.
Rave: TGIF!!!! It's sunny! Hope to get invites done with designing and start goccoing this weekend!

Re: Friday Rant & Rave
Rave: I don't really have any place I need to be this weekend at all besides today at 2pm when I get an oil change.. but thats it. It is so nice not having a schedule. Next weekend is COMPLETELY different though!
RANT #2: My mouth still hurts from my surgery last week. But I made an appointment for tomorrow morning to have them check it out. Hopefully it's not dry socket!!
RAVE: It's FRIDAY! And my BFFFFFFFFFF is coming into town tomorrow, and we're going to go out tomorrow night, and then on Sunday we're going to pick up her BM dress and do some shopping!
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!

I'm usually not a big ranter in general, but i'm in a pissy mood this morning......
Rant: Electricity at our apartment went out this morning in our apartment, making it hard to get ready, causing me to miss my bus. Ugh.
Rant: FI and I have been arguing a lot about the wedding recently. He complains that i keep adding things to our list - like yesterday, i told him about rehearsal dinner invitations. He thinks that they're not necessary - so we got into an argument over that! Not fun.
Rant: My co-worker is sick, again. She is sick all the time (at least once a week) and when she is, i end up covering for her.
Last Rant, I swear: Slow RSVPers. Though this is my fault, i'm in a pissy mood so i'll complain. I gave everyone til 5/5 to RSVP. i sent out most invitations a month ago. Some people that i know are definitely coming (ushers, etc) have not sent back their RSVPs yet. I understand when it takes people a while to RSVP (because they have to check their calendar, try to find a date, etc.) - but when i know you're in town, and you already have a date, and you're going to come, just send the RSVP back already!
Sorry, i think i just needed to vent. I feel better already!
Rave: Well, it's Friday, it's sunny, we're going out for a friend's birthday party tomorrow and then to the M's game on Sunday.
Rave: Birthday
Rant: I'm still grieving for the house we decided not to release thanks to the banks refusal to change pricing at all after inspection revealed structural problems. I know I don't want to tackle that and pay the same price as our initial offer, but over the past months, I had moved in and been factoring all that extra space for my projects, having the RD BBQ there, etc.
Rant: HM still not even remotely figured out!! FI claims he's going to AAA to talk to their travel agent on Saturday but he keeps putting this off and it's been two months so I'm not holding my breath.
Rave: It's REALLY pretty out!
Rave: My shoulder and back aren't better yet but I'm making improvements so that I'm not always suffering from a high level of constant pain. Right now it's just a low-level dull ache. Made enough improvements though that all my exercises from the PT have been switched to a slightly higher level. I might actually be rid of this before the wedding! (goal!)
Rave: My shoes arrived yesterday, the height is PERFECT and they're really cute!! I need to try to stretch it over one toe a little bit and have to practice walking in them since I'm not used to a stiletto but at least that's done!!
Rave: Behind FI's back, asked Best Man to help me with music list since FI has been lackluster about helping me create one. BM also is going to help me poke FI about selecting suit or tux so now I'm not a nag, heehee!
(Wow, more raves than rants, that's a first!! Must be the weather
rant: dad is supposed to be coming over to pay off some vendors today. hopefully. okay just saying that stressed me out more so no raves just rants today LOL
Rave: I LOVE that my fiance is just working part time now. The house is clean, he can drive me to school and he is SO much less stressed out! Plus it is sunny! Life is good.

Rave: We found a dinner place for our families after our civil ceremony this summer and FI gave it the two thumbs up because he thinks his fairly (eating-wise) traditional Chinese parents will like it too.
Rave: We finally booked a venue for our formal ceremony next year. I'm both excited and a little nauseous about it all. But still, so glad this is done finally.
Rave: We picked out our GM's tuxes! I emailed them all the info and pricing, told them they had till mid June before I came after them,
Tomorrow I get to relax, look through baby and other pics of FI and I through the years for our open house slideshow. We decided to throw an open house at my parents the evening after the wedding for people who want to visit longer with us and for out of towners who aren't leaving till monday and have nothing better to do! LoL! Really excited that I get another event!
And it's Friday and sunny. Have a good weekend girls!
Rant: There are still a million details to think through and finalize and it's exhausting!
Rave: FI gave me the last few addresses so I can finish the invitations this weekend!
Rave: It's nice and sunny out and I'm having pizza for dinner!
Rave: My FI is amazing, he is so supportive of me especially with the situation mentioned in my rant. He loves my daughter as his own and we are both so lucky for his love and support.
Rave 2: I am also looking for photographers but not stressed yet because I have quite a bit of time. I just recently spoke with JennyGG as some of you guys recomended and she seems great. I can't wait to meet with her soon.

Rave: It's nice out! Bridal party is set and most have accepted! FI just has to ask his other 2 guys. Not too much planned for the weekend so I might actually be able to get things done if I feel motivated enough. I'm just trying to get organized with a better budget/vendor spreadsheet and fill in gaps in the guest list.

Rave: It's Friday. It's a nice day. The kids have been crazy today, because my assitant unexpectedly left early, but we've all survived and they all got their work done (it's "Finish It Up Friday"). And I feel like I am getting closer to getting those last few vendors booked.
FI is going out of town tomorrow for work and won't be home until Wednesday night
This freakin cast on my arm is driving me nuts! I've had to ave a full arm cast many times over the past four years, but it never really gets any easier. At least the cats like scratching their chins on it, haha.
RAVE:
It is lovely weather outside and I am making a yummy dinner for FI and me tonight.
I am having dinner with my sister-in-law and adorable nephew tomorrow night, that soon to be two year old melts my heart.

Rave: Going to the CF pub crawl tomorrow in Fremont! Beer for a good cause!
Rave: FI and I both had the day off. FI made reservations at a restaurant I'd been wanting to go to earlier this week and we had a nice surprise date night and spent the day together today and it was so sunny. I still have baby fever, but the date night made me second guess if we should wait a little while.
Rave: I found the cutest bridesmaid dresses at David's Bridal and they look great on everyone! Yes that is a check!
