  WR: Encouraging FI to get his wedding ring if he has down time while he's on this mission.  Saturday afternoon, I'm meeting with a "coworker" to decide how I should do my makeup for the wedding and bridal portrait, which is in a couple of weeks...EEK!
  
  NWR:  Working my small business, dinner and a movie w/a BM tonight.  Tomorrow:  meeting with said BM's boyfriend to discuss "things"(hopefully a sparkly ring in her near future!!!) and then meeting her at our hair salon to just hang out and pick up a giftcard while she gets her color done. 
  
  Almost half of my BMs have their dress orders in and hopefully two more will get theirs in this weekend, so only two more, which will hopefully get theirs done next week.  The ones that submitted orders this week, were told that they'd be in by mid-february.  My dress came in two weeks earlier than quoted, so hopefully that'll be the case.  Either way, I'd like to have everyone's orders in by the 15th!!  Luckily I can track them online so I know who has ordered and who hasn't ;-) 
  
  My ticker says 141 days but I'm still feeling the "OMG!!!" buzz ;-)

  WR: Nothing!! Again... lol, next thing I have to do isn't until next month when I call for my first alterations appointment.

  
  

  NWR: Today, catching up on school work because my crazy holiday hours at Bath & Body Works start next week (in addition to babysitting twice a week and my 3 classes, oy) Tomorrow I'm doing our annual Christmas cookie baking with FMIL and my two FSIL.. and trying to convince them to go to a big mall near Philly to go to Nordstrom for a MOG dress bc she wanted to go during the Christmas season and this is the last Saturday I'll be off.. Sunday, church and work. 

  
  

  Also wanted to AW I was accepted to nursing school finally!!!! I'm starting next semester and will get my bachelors of science in nursing instead of just an ADN which is what I was on track for Unfortunately we had our HM planned for the week of finals so I may have to pay $450 to change our reservations for the following week... But hey, its worth it.

  Ahh!!  Congratulations!  It looks like we have all shaken off any sort of 5 month curse we may have had!  Good luck convincing your FMIL ;-)  I might have to get sucked into a phone convo with my own this weekend regarding ordering FSIL's bridesmaid dress.  Man it'd be nice if FSIL would be proactive with this one...I guess we'll see ;-)

  WR: Hopefully, I'll have time to design and print the stickers that will go on our OOT gable boxes.  Not counting on that, though.
  
  NWR: Already hit up a birthday party right after school.  Tonight is the living nativity at the Salvation Army, tomorrow is breakfast with Santa, and Sunday is the Polar Express.  Seriously, I already feel like I live in my car.  I really do hate December.  I think I have something going on every night/weekend for the next 15 days in a row.  Blecch!

  WR: My oriental trading goodies for my out of town guest bags came in today so I'm going to be putting the stickers on the lollipops, water bottles, and chapsticks.  I want to finish my bridesmaids' name hangers, change a few things on the registry after I did some research on some items, play with the design for my wedding day tshirt, and clean up all the wedding stuff all over my guest bedroom.
  
  NWR: FI and I are going into NYC tomorrow to see the Christmas tree and eat at Guy Fieri's new restaurant with one of his groomsmen and his wife.  They are 2 of my favorite people and I can't wait to hang out with them.

  Allly - congrats! That's awesome!
  
  WR - I don't think anything? I looked up a bunch of possible rehearsal venues today and would like to call a couple more, so maybe doing some phone calling on that tomorrow. Other than that, though, I think we're wedding free this weekend.
  
  NWR - Lots of cookie baking. We decided for FI's family to send nice homemade cookies and then make a donation to the American Red Cross for Sandy relief. His family all thought it was a good idea, and FI was really into it so that's the plan. I think I'm going to try to do 3 kinds of cookies maybe. A spice one, something with some chocolate, and then something more plain and vanilla-y. Maybe just two though. We'll see my level of motivation (it's our first non-busy weekend in a while so...I may just want to cuddle on the couch :P). Sunday, we have tentative plans to get some bbq at a place that opened up around the block from us with some friends. I love bbq...and friends...so it should be good times had by all
  
  ETA: I really also have a couple things I should read for work so I may do that and let FI watch some football (even though his Broncos have already played for the week). I'm feeling very unmotivated to do that though, even though I'm actually kind of interested in the latest manuscript I got.

  After dealing with the hugest dress drama (short story: dress didn't fit, salon said they'd take care of it, month later they did nothing and told us all they could do was "sew in a lace-up panel" which ruined the dress, I contact the dress designer, bravo! new dress arrives in January!) I'm just relaxing this weekend.  Taking my little to a holiday party for BBBS and then working the Steelers game tomorrow.  

  
  

  Oh, hi there.
