Who's Up?

ZombieNates · July 2012

I know it's late on the East Coast, but some of you hoars must be lurking about. I can't sleep. Fvck you, time changes.

ZombieNates · July 2012

Hey, Dot, I'm watching RHONJ, too. I forgot it was on tonight--I'm all messed up with what comes on when.

Trip was great! Sad to be back adn going to work tomorrow.

ZombieNates · July 2012

School's out, but I'm working my summer job. Stupid bills, lol.

Good Morning!

So I've had insomnia issues again for the last few nights. No big deal, it happens a lot. I almost fell asleep an hour ago. I was all warm and cuddled up in the perfect position in my bed and then my BASTARD CAT started crying at the door. She never does that. So I got up to see what was wrong and the damn thing was lonely! She runs to my spot on the couch, sits down and starts purring. I threatened her that i'd stuff her in a pillow case and throw her in the river if she didn't cut it out but the darn thing just smiles and purr. Called my bluff darn it.

So hi!

anna.oskar · July 2012

Dress not necessary but people might be taking pictures so be sure you look cute. I wore a dress to one shower and to the other i wore khaki shorts with a cute sleeveless blouse and sandals.

ZombieNates · July 2012

Don't you just love pets? Baxter always pulls shiiiit like that.

I get random insomnia sometimes, too, especially in the summer. I'll just be up all night for no reason and crash around 6 or 7. It's weird.

Dot, I don't think you have to wear a dress. I look at those events as more dressy casual (I guess depending on the location/crowd), so I'd just wear a nice outfit I felt comfortable in.

ZombieNates · July 2012

I think that sounds good! Are you having just random insomnia?

I haven't had dinner yet. I wonder if I can convince N to go get something?

ZombieNates · July 2012

I'm going to end up making rice or something simple. I have no groceries in here. Maybe I can use my time productively and make my shopping list :P

angelstar975 · July 2012

Hi ladies. I'm an excellent sleeper, but I tend to stay up too late. I don't have to wake up tomorrow, so I'm waiting til I'm really exhausted and then I'll go to sleep.

I just made and ate some french toast. That was awesome for my diet.

ZombieNates · July 2012

I like your new sig, Angel!

Mmm French toast. I think I've eaten about two meals in the past two and a half days, what with traveling and sleeping all crazy. I hope I can pull myself together tomorrow.

avsfan33 · July 2012

Evening! H and I are watching Water for Elephants. I'm glad I have tomorrow off, I can't sleep either.

angelstar975 · July 2012

Thanks, Dot! It's one of my favorites from our engagement pics. I got the disc in the mail yesterday, so that was exciting.

ETA - Thanks Nates, as well!

angelstar975 · July 2012

I never saw the movie, but I wanted to. The book was fantastic though. I keep saying I need to get back into reading, but it hasn't happened yet. I have so much time on my hands, I should do something at least semi-productive with it!

ZombieNates · July 2012

Avs, you're married!! Congrats, lady! So happy for you! Did you AW?

I still have not gotten my e-pics or wedding pics. I should probably get on top of that. And the damn albums and portraits. Oops, lol.

avsfan33 · July 2012

I kept meaning to buy the book but there was always 500 other books that I got instead. I'll probably grab it next time I go to the bookstore.

angelstar975 · July 2012

My photographer claims to get e-pics back in 2 weeks and wedding pics back in a month. So far, he fulfilled the first part of that, with a few days to spare, actually, so I'm confident we'll get our wedding pictures back pretty quickly as well.

ZombieNates · July 2012

I planned on reading so much while I was off work the past few weeks, but I only read a few novellas and two YA books for my book rec boad next year. I wanted to check that one out, too.

Thanks! No, I didn't. I was planning on it when I get my pictures next week. I haven't been online much since before the wedding. By the time all of our company left, I had to go back to work. Blah work.

ZombieNates · July 2012

I was just thinking of you, Mrs.J! It was absolutely fantastic--easily the very best trip I've ever been on. I want to go back already.

You took a trip down here, right?

avsfan33 · July 2012

I was reading a lot a few weeks ago. I finally finished Insurgent the other day. I don't want to wait another year for the next book.

Dot - same city as the big chain bookstore (where I actually live). We go there quite often too. I'll probably check there first.

angelstar975 · July 2012

Man, I'd love to go to Hawaii right about now. I could use a really great trip. Instead, I'll have to settle for the Jersey shore. I do love the beach no matter where it is though.

ZombieNates · July 2012

I'm a Jersey girl, Dot

I think my issue is that I've seen all the pictures already online and she gave us all the proofs in three big ringed books, so I have no motivation to pic and choose for albums, kwim? I have to wittle 1800 down to 80-90 for our album, two for portraits, and then the parent albums. It just seems like too much work :P

avsfan33 · July 2012

MIL started crap friday night outside with my mom after everyone left but my mom ignored her for the most part and came inside. She behaved at the wedding but H warned her that if she pulled any of the same crap she did at any other event (like our grads, his aunt's wedding), she was going to be cut from his life.

ZombieNates · July 2012

I always forget that you're right in Philly, Angel. Yeah, I don't know how I'm going to face the shore after this vacation. After I went to Puerto Rico with my friend, we cried when we hit Asbury and a freaking GoGurt wrapper floated by us in the ocean.

Nice vacation, Mrs.J! Our connecting flight was in and out of Phoenix, but I missed Rox.

avsfan33 · July 2012

I'm really not looking forward to going through pictures. I can see myself letting it sit there for a long time. Or I'll start it and won't finish it for months.

angelstar975 · July 2012

I'm not a married lady, but I already know I'm going to wear China Glaze Ruby Pumps because it's my favorite polish ever.

Haha Nates, that's so funny and also typical for the shore.

ZombieNates · July 2012

When we did our photog package, I thought wow, that's a really great price for everything we're getting. But honestly, I wonder how many people just never order their albums because they have access to the pictures online and in the proof books? I can see some people just never doing it. I mean, our epics have been over a year old at this point.

avsfan33 · July 2012

I did my nails in a silver colour. I forget what it's called. I tried doing fake nails but I decided they hurt to effing much when I was putting them on.

ZombieNates · July 2012

Oh, for nails I just did a shellac mani in a French pink. Just plain nails, nothing to take away from the new ring

The PHX airport has this jewelry store that has the most ridiculous, UNEEK spelling ever and it made me hate the entire airport on principle.

Good for H standing up to MIL, Avs, and I'm glad she behaved at the wedding. My H struggles with his controlling mom so much--he hates things that she does/says to him, but he feels so guilty when he tells her off. I stay out of it for the most part (unless she drags me in), but it's hard to see him deal with.

kaceymarie · July 2012

i can't sleep either. i'm too excited because i got a lot of wedding stuff done today.

angelstar975 · July 2012

My FILs are pretty cool. And honestly, I think they like me better than they like FI, lol, so I don't anticipate there being any issues. Plus they aren't really the type to cause trouble. Their image is pretty important to them.
