WR- I am thinking of putting planning on hold for while. I say that as I am still pinning stuff on pinterest. Anywho if I decide to do anything this month it will be to make a decision on the aisle runner so that I can get started on it in January. Oh and I'm still trying to cut my guestlist.
[QUOTE]WO- I couldn't sleep last night so to the gym I went. FI thinks I'm going crazy. It was either go to the gym or nag him. I chose the gym. I have been on a 5 week hiatus- shhhhh, don't tell anyone. WR- I am thinking of putting planning on hold for while. I say that as I am still pinning stuff on pinterest.
