Exercise has been ok...I lifted weights and did squats and lunges during the Bachelorette, until they olive oil wrestled. I stopped for a little bit to really watch that (sorry Matt). But then I continued. I've been trying to "burn out" (Bob's lingo, not mine) my triceps, they are one of my problem areas. This means that it hurts to lift my arms at all, and that I have to sleep mummy style so that I don't put any weight on them. Speaking of Bob, I think I need to reunite with him soon...I kinda miss the guy and his crazy need for me to smile while sweating my ass off..I need a Bob to follow me around and yell "DON'T EAT THAT FATTY!" Whenever I reach for a donut. And then after humiliating me publicly and making me cry, he will follow up with "It's OK Meg, let me see you SMILE!" What an A-hole. Maybe I don't need a Bob to follow me around.
On Monday, Kara(FSIL: Future Sister in Law) and I went to J Crew for a wedding dress adventure. It was INCREDIBLE! First off, Joan, my wedding dress consultant, was amazing. She was attentive, and honest, and she new Sabine (explained soon). Even though they only had sample sizes, I was able to get all of them on, and could actually tell what it looked like, even if I was clipped in. There was not one moment of horror or humiliation when I tried on a dress. It was lovely, it was...dare I say fun? I felt pretty. I felt skinny. Is this what the big deal is about cuz if so I LIKE IT!
And most importantly, I may have found THE. DRESS. Her name is Sabine (they are all named and called "she" at J Crew) and were are best friends. Sabine is ivory silk taffeta, with a rouched sweetheart neckline...she is amazing. Her empire waisted A-line skirt makes me look small, yes me=small!!! I am not a size "jumbo" at J Crew, which I love, and I love how luxurious the gowns are without being a million dollars. Sabine and I may reunite again soon...we'll see...
I have been working on my Binder, cutting clipping, gluesticking, and after every page making Matt look at it. I am not sure how much longer he will put up with me shoving a giant white binder in his face every 3 minutes, but he is putting up with it for now. Continuing with my DIY adventures, I played with a super silly favor, that after it was complete couldn't help but making more...Ladies and Gents I present to you...
Yup, the most ridiculous thing I have ever come up with. AND I LOVE IT! Does everyone get it now? How NOT the normal wedding event this is? And on top of that how much friggin fun we are gonna have? I have two goals on the big day. Marry the man I am madly in love with, and have a dag-on good time.
And eat cake. Duh.
Love the mustaches. Can't wait for Dara to see them. Did you make them just for her?
ReplyDelete1: I saw Sabine and she's beautiful.
ReplyDelete2: I don't know how much longer I can go on reading this thing because it's dotted with photos and mentions of cake. One man's blog is another man's landmine field.
