Manic Monday

mpickl · August 2012

Is it just me, or are weekends getting shorter? ...

What does everyone have planned for this week?

MandiNewMommy · August 2012

Yes they def are!!!

I dont have anything really planned this week and I am so excited. I do have to get the rest of the stuff together for LOs bday party on the 18th and do some cleaning and laundry but other than that I want sit on my a** and not have to think!

I have no idea how it's already Monday. NOT. FAIR.

I need to track down the Essense of Australia dress I want to try on - they didn't have it in stock yet when I went to try on dresses this weekend, and I feel like I can't make a decision until I see that one on. In the meantime, I'll just be dreaming of my Enzoani Cheyenne that surprised the crap out of me on Saturday! I didn't think I'd like a poofier dress, but it was the only one I tried on that made me feel like a bride. And made my mom cry

NWR...starting to pack for our upcoming move, calling my recruiter to find a new job, and pretending to be involved at the company summer outing on Friday. At least it's a baseball game, so I'll be able to drink! Why is it my co-workers are so much more tolerable when I'm drinking? Lol! I think I'm taking FI on a 'mystery trip' this Saturday, too...oh, and I should be getting my yarn in so I can start knitting the lace shawl for my grandmother's 85th bday party!

Vent: Someone told me the DJ I chose wasn't very good at a wedding they went to. This is the first person I have heard something negative from (about the DJ) and it really grinded my gears! She said maybe it was because it was an older crowd but it did make me nervous.

Happy: It is my birthday week!!! Woohoo! No wedding stuff this week, we are taking a breather from planning. After I work my butt off this (at the gym and work) we are going to the Cape for a boozey/beach filled weekend!
HURRY FRIDAY!!!

Oph: Have fun on your mystery trip!!! Sounds very exciting!

I work incredibly too much, so the only thing I'm looking forward to this week (during the weekdays) is another episode of Project Runway on Thursday night. Pretty sad actually. But not only will I be completely debt free (minus my home and student loans) in June of next year, but I'm also able to save a lot for our wedding. We're trying to pull off our wedding for around $7000. God help us. ;-)

On another note:
As you could tell by my dress posting, I found THE dress this weekend. I showed the pictures to a couple co-workers today and they both think I should have chosen the other dress that was a contender.

#1 Allure W282
Has a zipper back, was $200 more in price, and would need a lot more alternations.

#2 Allure W255 (Please ignore the awful face expression)
Has a gorgeous corset back with the same detailed paisley lace going down both sides and buttons that go down the entire length of the train. It only needs alternations in the bust.

What do you think? I'm having a vintage/rustic barn wedding.

Thanks for your imput?

Dress 2!

While dress 1 is lovely and sweet, dress 2 just flatters more (nipped in waist, great bust line) and gives you that vavavoom.

zantster · August 2012

Taking engagement photos on Thursday! Yay! Besides work, which is not bad except for the commute I'm still in that can't-wait-to-spend-another-moment-with-FI mode so everyday is beautiful when that happens.

Does anyone notice though that when you're super happy with who you're with, guys seem to come out of the woodwork to notice you more?

Oh and I agree with Jlp. Dress 2 definitely showcases your curves with more definition and is just an overall prettier design IMO.

<div>Agreed. Dress #2 is so beautiful on you!</div>

APDSS22 · August 2012

Love the corset back! Dress #2 would be my choice, Goofy. This week I'm kicking my rear in gear. I ordered a few samples of things a couple days ago. I'm trying to get the wedding budgeted out as best I can this week. Plus, I found a site that lets me virtually see my linens lol so I've been playing.

Oh my goodness! I can't wait to take our engagement pictures! We're waiting until it cools down though. I'm not fond of having pictures taken with sweat dripping from all my pores and my sweatmustache ;-) I also have NO CLUE what to wear! I hope it goes well! Post pics!

That has always been the case. I think the reason behind it is that when we're already with someone and happy, we have that glow about us. And we're being our authentic self around everyone and not nervous checking out the single guys around us.

Thank you for the comment on my dress #2 as well. I LOVE that dress. I think once it comes in and I can alter the bust I'm going to look and feel absolutely amazing. I honestly think I'll take his breath away. :-) Squee!!!

I feel ya. If there was a way to drink margaritas at my desk all day I think I'd be a much happier co-worker. ;-) Of course, I may have to take a cot and pass out beneath my desk as well. What kind of baseball game are you going to? I'm a HUGE Cincinnati Reds fan.

LOL <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />That reference to the sweat mustache was hilarious!! It has been super hot around here too but it's a little cooler than July so hopefully since we're taking ours in the evening when there's some light but cooler temps it will be ok. And I think you're right about the single guys too. I have definitely been told that I have a happy glow so that's probably it. I truly feel the happiest and most content I've ever been in my life! I will definitely share e-pics once they come back.

I was offline yesterday so I will play MM today

Monday I was so exhausted that I couldn't even begin to force myself out of bed...so I didn't, just rolled over, texted my boss and went back to sleep lol.

This Saturday is FI's cousin's wedding, which will start as a classy affair and dissolve into a sh*tfest like our get-togethers always do. It will also be the first night EVER that I will be away from my son, so I'm sure it will be traumatic (for me anyway) though I'll be happy to be involved in a grown-up function again.

I hope to can another big batch of spaghetti sauce on Sunday while tomatoes are still doing well, but I'll have to see how I feel that morning!

It's the m******f****ing Cubbies, but I just checked, and we're playing the Reds! Maybe I'll cheer them on for you! I really could care less about baseball, but living in Chicago teaches you to either hate or love the Cubs. I'm excited though - we're going to one of the rooftop suites that surround the stadium, and it should be kind of neat. And like I said before, beer.
