I get Bridezillas...

OH HOLY F*&#! Wedding planning is HARD! And when you are poor... it's even harder! UGH! But for the heck of it this is what I know for sure now... Colors... seriously aside from the girls in black, any of this could change, but I am doing blush, pewter(think dark silver), and black. Time frame? Spring 2010. I have two brothers getting married this year so 2009 for sure was out. And drum roll please.... The girls who will be keeping me from murdering someone there is always someone to murder,

Other up in the air ideas, Outside, old south feel, Buffet, lots of D-A-N-C-I-N-G, and other surprises I can't put on here... but that is a short and quick up date so far!

Calling all Married Women!!!

Being engaged is so much fun! I love all the attention! But now all the stress of wedding planning as begun and I am OVERWHELMED already! Colors, dates, locations, flowers, food, $$$$$$... what's a girl to do! I could so use some suggestions of web sites, locations, and ANY money saving ideas ANYONE has would be greatly appreciated! The only decision I have made is who the Groom is going to be! I need help!

Along with all of that maddness. I am in a despirate need of dropping some pounds! We know that we are not looking to set the date until Feb,March, April of 2010, but I also have a good 30 to 35lbs that have got to GO. I am also looking for some good HEALTHY recipes and or web sites.. So share share share! I am going to need all the help I can get in this department! Ugh... working out...

He Put a Ring On It!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!

Ladies, it's official. Harb is off the market and MINE FOREVER! Harb proposed Friday February 20th and this whole magical world of "wedding planning" has started!

Fridays are such hard days for me. Harb leaves work every Friday at 11am... yes that's right I said AM. I however work my same ol' 9 hour hellish shift.

Well this particular Friday I got to leave a whole 15 min early and never looked back as I ran to my car. First thing - Call Harb - Second thing - proceed to plan on where my binge drinking will start in hopes of erasing the awful week that has just ended. So I picked up my phone and called... "hey babe I'm headed home finally.." "Ok, sweetie I will see you when you get here.. just take your time..." Hummm... He's being awfully sweet... whatever, I'll take it!

After going 95mph to get home I turn into our neighborhood already starting to feel better, take my first right, round the bend, and there it is a 15 foot banner that reads... "Will You Marry Me?" uh.. HELL YES I WILL! I could barely pull all the way up the driveway I was shaking so bad from the total shock and excitement! Harb came out the front door as I was stumbling out of my car muttering "are you serious??" over and over. He got down on his knee and asked me formally and through my tears I rattled off the word "yes" at least a half a dozen times. He put the ring on and it was official and I was beside myself! The shaking was uncontrollable and I couldn't stop staring at the beauty that is my ring, and kissing my FIANCE!!!
It couldn't have been more perfect! AND he followed my 3 rules I gave him. 1.) He could do anything, but it couldn't cost a DIME. My soon-to-be hubby cut some deals with customers at work to get the banner for free 2.) I wanted to be surprised, no idea when or where He totally got me. 3.) JUST me and him, I didn't want anyone else there when it happend I wanted it to be just our moment. Y'all HE is what dreams are made of. Or mine are atleast! ♥

On Notice

It's that time... Things that drive me nutts-o. I'm sure you think this list should be longer from all the complaining I do, but I don't have that kind of time, so here are the Top 5. Drum roll please.....

1. If you keep up with my blog at all you know I baby-sit on the side to make ends meet, when I say this, I mean to pay off my massive amount of credit debt I accumulated during my 7 year span of college and now terribly regret. If not for this I wouldn't be doing so bad actually. So what is on notice? People who ask for me to sit or excuse me, beg me to sit for their children who make me want to rip my own face off, and then cancel.---- Had to do an edit here... 3/2/2009
2. Bills that come in the mail that say "Due Upon Receiving" to me this means, when I am good and ready to give you the money. Just give me a damn due date because if not I will put off what you say I owe you right now and pay another bill and so on till I forget about you. Then you try to act like it is my fault that you still haven't received your precious payment. JUST GIVE ME A DUE DATE and it will be there. Trash company, you are ON NOTICE.

3. Parents who have children in my classroom, JUST DROP YOUR CHILD OFF AND GO! For heaven's sake! Whether you sit in the room for 1 minute or 20, if your child is a crier they will cry. In fact the more you try to make it better the worse it will get. LEAVE. The majority of the reason they cry is because they know it will work, you idiot. Trust me, the second you are out of sight they are drying up their tears just in time to shove the child who was just playing the crying game with their idiot parent off the tunnel slide so they can sit on top of it and act like they are somebody. Parents you on notice.

4. My Jeep Grand Cherokee is ALWAYS on notice.

5. Last but not least, the gym. Why are you so far away, full of intimidating equipment, swarming with tan skinny people, and still getting my money from me. Gym you are def. On Notice. Ugh....

Catching a Break....

Seriously, its my time. I am so tired of getting unexpected bills, illnesses, working a dead end job, I could just scream, which without fail happens towards poor Harb who does nothing but make me happy. I need a vacation, but oh yeah... I have no $$ and I can't afford to take off work. Grr...

PS. These headaches suck balls and need to find someone else's head to bug. PLEASE!

Two Thumbs Up

Since Christmas I have been spending the majority of this year trying to get over illnesses. Irritating beyond belief. I don't think I have had a solid week of health in 2 months. Anyway.. This weekend was no different. I had to leave work early in fear of vomiting my whole life up onto the floor and got home just in time to find out I had a 101 fever and the chills so bad I was yelling at Harb that he was wrong and the thermostat was wrong and it was definitely 50 below in our bedroom. Yes Harb was home with me on a Friday afternoon because he gets off work every Friday at 11am... Hate him, I do. (Not really.. but you get it.) I was curled up under 3 blankets wearing pj pants, slipper socks, tank top, and a long sleeved shirt, which if you know me at all... I couldn't sleep comfortably like this for million dollars. Underwear, a sheet, and the fan on high and you will still hear me toss and turn bitching about how damn hot it is before I finally ware myself out (and Harb) and fall asleep. I woke up Saturday weirded out by how normal I felt considering the day's prior drama. I was weary to do anything so I laid in bed till about 2 watching TV waiting for the fever to come back or something. Stomach pains lasted all weekend but managed to keep the goodies in the belly.

I couldn't find much on and came across the movie You've Got Mail on Oxygen. I was in a girlie mood and it had just started so I left it on. Y'all, seriously if you haven't watched this in a while or ever seen it, please do! It is so adorable! And random cameos. The female doc from Grey's Anatomy whose now a lesbian, plays a cashier, and then Dave Chapelle from The Chapelle Show plays Tom Hanks friend, and I am sure there's more but those two stood out the most. This is a must rent.

Later in the afternoon my mom convinced me to go see Out of Town with Rene Zellwegar and Harry Conack Jr. Seriously grab a girlfriend and go. If you can get your man to go, I am pretty sure he will like it too, but its kind of like convincing him to see The Notebook and then trying to get them to admit they cried and liked it. This movie will make you laugh a lot and tear up just a little, a perfect combo in my opinion. And if you have any roots from up North, you will relate and laugh harder my mom and I had some stares and a comment from the guy next to us (a nice one) from laughing so hard. FYI basically my whole family is from Minnesota and I was born there.

When my mom dropped me off I was still a little ew feeling so Harb and I decided to just rent a movie and get a pizza. We ended up renting Max Payne Harb's choice and Pineapple Express partly from the review from http://laughinglolly.blogspot.com and it just looked funny. Max Payne forget it. Confusing and no answers at the end. I have about 2,000 questions plus for the writer of that awful Mark Walburg movie. Moving on. Pineapple Express is hysterical. I am going to leave it at that. I know if I say too much it could ruin it for someone else who hasn't seen it, too much hype could make it suck. And if you are my mom and think you will rent PE and think it is funny, you will not, so pick something else. Love you, but you won't get it.

Today, no movies, just the usual Sunday routine, laundry, random TV mainly re-runs of HOUSE, and light cleaning, I am now on the couch keeping Harb company watching the Super Bowl I hate NFL football and just making sure I feel better and no more missing work or weekend fun due to stupid illnesses.
