Family Pictures

Why is it necessary to have family pictures everytime the family gets together. The first weekend in November is my grandparents anniversary...so you know what that means...PICTURES!!!! EEEEHHHHH! So of course, I get calls from the family stating, 'don't forget we have pictures....wear a long sleeve solid shirt and a black skirt...if you don't have one, go out and buy one...' Um..hello..I AM PLANNING A WEDDING DANG IT! I don't have the means to go out and buy a stupid new outfit just for a dumb picture. Thanks, but no thanks. I mean, don't get me wrong any excuse for me to go shopping is fine by me. But to satisfy their need to tell me what to do, is not ok with me. So, you know what I will be wearing? A 3/4 sleeve shirt and pants. HA! How's that?! *lol* I'm feeling ornery today, hahaha. It is such a great day today though. It is raining today, which is always good, because of course, Texas doesn't get very much of it. But this rain is bringing actual fall weather. Thank you God for supplying this rain. I woke up around 6:30 this morning and it was raining like crazy and lightning and thundering.
What a perfect way to start each day. Red said it is a perfect way to crawl back into bed and sleep. LOL. I would rather it rain and storm all day, than be blazing hot. YUCK! Oh well, Red said she felt like a drowned rat this morning because she got wet. I don't blame her. She was soaked. Me..I woke up, and of course, since it was raining I kept thinking, "oooooooohhh, fall weather is coming, bring on the sweaters!" I walk out of my room in a long sleeve button down shirt with a black sweater vest, black pencil skirt and my black knee high boots. tee hee. Red just laughed. She said something, which of course I can't remember, but it was funny. I can't wait for rainy days in Seattle! Bring on the Umbrellas!!!!

Now that is a good question....

In reply to Fridaynightgirl's post on monday here is the question at hand:

If money and time were no object, where would you go on vacation? For how long? What would you do?

My answer:

I would go where no one could find me. I would go to Fiji and lay on a beach with Zac and bask in the sunlight. I would run away to Italy and be swept away in the romance of the city, the lights, the sounds, the gondollas, the food, the feel of Zac next to my side.

Does that sound like a good answer to you?

Adventures in Wedding Dress Shopping

It is official! I have my dress! YEAH! Red came with me last night to try on the dress, and get this... I GAINED WEIGHT!!! YUCK!!! I was so upset with myself, but 1) it's because of stress and 2) I have been eating a lot of sweets lately (oops!). But Red assures me that it will all come off quick when I stop consuming all of that crap. :o( But I would rather be able to fit into my wedding dress and look gorgeous on my wedding day more than anything. *giggle* It was so funny actually. I had the dress on, and Red was literally trying to force the zipper up. LOL. We even had one of the girls that worked at the store helping. It was embaressing, but now that I think about it, it was funny. It was one of those things you only see in movies. LOL. Next thing you know you see the girl putting her foot on the lower part of your back and pulling those strings to make that corset tighter, basically cutting off air supply. I told red if I get a corset, I'm gonna have to learn to breathe through my ears. lol. But anyways, I bought a size 12 the size I tried on the first time I went dress shopping. Because I am determined to lose all that weight and even more. 'I resolve, not to be so chubby...' lol. Well, I left the dress there so they could fix the hook that was broken (no I didn't break it, trying to squeeze into the dress, lol). Anyways, I had to call them back today and tell them I had to reschedule my fitting appointment next month to a couple of days earlier because of the stupid banner run through I have to do. AAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!! *stitch grunt* Well the woman in alterations was like, so you have the dress with you? I told her no, they said to keep it at the store so they could fix the hook and clean the smudges. She told me, you should have taken it home because we fix that stuff when you come in for our fitting. So now, I have to go all the way back up to the store, which is a 30 minute drive (talk about a waste of gas) and pick up my dress. Suck a monkey! AAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!! *stitch grunt again* Believe me, you'll be seeing a lot more of that grunting. lol
Oh well, the adventures of wedding dress shopping is always exhausting, I think I slept really well last night, b/c I didn't wake up once. LOL. And on with another day....
