Done Yesterday

This week's Deep Thought Thursday is brought to you by my grandmother.

Yesterday I was sitting on the couch applying to jobs when my phone rang. It was Nanny. I knew because the photo of her pouring a gin and tonic popped up on my screen. (You wish you grandma was this awesome...) What you should know about this post is that just after the wedding Nanny took a tumble down the porch at my parent's house and broke her foot. This was the first time she's hurt herself in the past thirty or so years, Nanny's always been very sturdy and well preserved (we like to say from the alcohol), and so she has never had to stop and sit and do nothing for any extended period of time.

She said she was calling everybody and they kept on cutting out but her battery was charged and she wasn't sure what was wrong. But anyway, how was I?

Any news?

Well I have an interview tomorrow, but still applying to things.

How is being a housewife?

Well, it's a little boring. I've kind of worked one to three jobs since I was 17 and now I'm going a little crazy not working.

Yes, I'm a little stir crazy too. I spent the week with your mother, and now I'm with my sister and then I'm going back to your mother for a week. I'm being taken care of very well, but I don't like not doing things myself. I tell you, I know it's only been about a month, but I'm going mad, I need to get out and do things!

I feel your pain Nanny.

I'm not used to sitting around, I've got things to do. I don't like being sedentary!

You know Nanny, I'm so glad you said that. Everything makes so much more sense now. Mom's all like, oh, things will get done eventually, but Julianne and I are we need to get this done YESTERDAY. Now I know where we got it from.

Haha, yes pussycat.

Good to know this came from you.

All this time...it was Nanny. Crazy. My life suddenly make so much more sense. Maybe that's why Nanny and I get along so well. That and we both are a little silly when it comes to everyday things.

And the award goes to...

ME!

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I'm the worst blogger ever sometimes.

We're still waiting for photos from our photographer, but I'll post some non-pro snips from the wedding.

And I'll do a nice long post, or maybe even a series of posts on our amazing honeymoon.

Countdown

Today is T-minus 10 Days until our wedding.

We are now officially at Code Kermit.






That is all.

It's official...

I'm the worst blogger ever!

I had things to update, I really did! But then a certain someone absconded with my camera so I have no pictorial illustrations of anything I wanted to share. And let's face it, I'm a visual person, I like pretty pictures!

Things are slowly...very slowly...taking shape. The wedding is almost here and no, I'm not nervous or anxious or anything about it. The wedding will be fine, I'm certain it will even be more than fine it will be splendiforous!

But no, I'm not worried about the wedding, I'm worried about finishing the move, getting things done, finding a job, and buying a new car.

WHERE THE HELL DID REAL LIFE COME FROM?!

Countdown

Today is T-minus 20 Days until our wedding.

That is all.

NAKED PANIC ATTACK

Long story short. Julibean had the worst night ever last night trying to see a Mumford and Sons concert (which Ashley and Cynthia said was the best concert they ever saw) and it turned into a story very reminiscent of the Naked Bronx Zoo story our Dad likes to tell us sometimes.

So here's something for the Beaner (and Becky) to make them feel better. Seriously, we'll be laughing about this in a year's time.




P.S. I LOVE this song and didn't know the name of it. I have an entire Pandora station dedicated to Mumford and Sons and other bands in the what I like to call "Jig Rock" genre.

P.P.S. We have decided that the next time they're nearby Julianne and I are going to their concert and doing it right. Tailgate. Beer. The whole nine yards.

WW: Favors

The to do list is slowly but surely getting done. There's still a LOT to accomplish, but I've been checking things off in the midst of packing.

Bouquets still need a lot of work. I've been making beaded flower petals like a mad woman and I'm going to start constructing the flowers and looking to see how I can make the arrangements.

I DID however get a heck of a lot done on our favor front. We decided to get tote bags. More like plastic bags are the bane of my existence and I wanted to give a useful favor. I originally planned on ordering tote bags and screen printing them myself with my handy dandy Yudu, but 4-Imprint was running a promotion and they screen printed them for free!

Hooray!
They arrived last week and I've been folding, tying, and tagging them for the past few nights.


So every guest at the wedding will walk away with a cute little magazine tote. Perfect size for carrying a book, a bottle of water and some sunscreen to the beach!
