That I got to say “I do” to the man I love. I took a lot of work to pull it off (note to future brides: Wedding Planner/coordinator. Pay the money to have someone else do the “day of” craa… er.. stuff. Seriously!) but I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Being surrounded by […]

Wow…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted and bunches of stuff gone on. Since I’ve discovered that I can post things with a past date on it, I’ll add some of the entries from my SP blog. Of late, I’ve been focused more and more on my health, reaching goals related to that, but also […]
I’m too old for this
Ugh. So I’m happy to help my honey out, and bring a bit of extra income into the house, but this standing for 6+ hours at a bridal fair in dress shoes thing is sooo not working for me. My body is so sore again today, not as bad as last week because thankfully, this […]
Double Meh
So this weekend I was feeling all fat and frumpy. I was surrounded by late teen, early 20 year old ‘girls’ who were too skinny, had too big of boobs and too perfect hair & skin… it was a bridal fair and at one point I had the thought that the whole industry is geared […]
I know what I’m up against now…
I decided to take a semi-logical approach to this (it happens once in a while – but still surprises me) I was able to locate a general sizing chart for most bridal gown designers, and to fit into my dress I need to have the following measurements: Bust: 41.5Waist: 32.5 (this is the ‘natural’ waist […]
The big and lofty goals
::giggle:: on the heels of my praise of the carb-y goodness, I need to put my goals in to writing, lest I forget about them. I tried on my wedding dress today, which is no small feat when one has the ‘assistance’ of an energetic kitten. Veruca & I weren’t happy. The dress is a […]
Doode!
That was a surprise… stepped on the scale this morning and had to check … 3 times. It hesitated at 198.5… then settled… on 198.0! ::happy dance:: Although, *I* am hesitant to record it as my weigh in weight… I feel like I haven’t earned it or that if I do, it won’t last. But […]
Eeeks!
Ok, so I’ve got this wedding dress to fit into… and I realized that I’ve only got 33-ish weeks before the wedding! *breathing* So if I can average about 1# a week, that’ll put me at about 167. Wow! How cool with that be!? Guess this means I need to start stepping up the activity/ […]
Sunday!
Well, I made it through my Friend’s wedding mostly ok. I did have 2 beers (they had the decency to have guinness available, I didn’t want to be rude! LOL!) and only had 2 bites of cake (OMG… they had the HUGE claim jumper chocolate cake for their wedding cake! That thing is so rich […]
Cuz *I* deserve it!
Had an interesting morning… It’s Cranky Wednesday(tm) and my Inner Brat, Veruca, decided to show up. I didn’t get much sleep last night so extra tired today, and while getting myself, breakfast and lunch ready I was thinking about this weekend and the whole “gee, hope I don’t blow it” popped into my head. And […]
