DIY Deathtrap

Meg and Matts Wedding by meegant

So this is the inspiration board, AKA my homework from "Sandy". Let me know what you think about the details...I am still building and tweaking, but its a start to get all my ideas down...ya know? Feedback is loved, and I hope you like it! Matt helped too!

I have a obsession with buying scrapbook paper to make my pinwheels with. I actually think I have more paper than I need to make 150 pinwheels, but I get in that aisle at Michaels Crafts and I just loose my mind. All the pretty colors and patterns...it's hypnotic. Before I know it, I have poppy printed pearl finished paper sitting on my craft table. I swear Michaels must by pumping some kinda of hallucinogen into that aisle. Not that I am complaining. Poppy printed pearl finished paper will make one hell of a pinwheel. Michaels is a DIY Bride death trap. I go in, and just become a crazy woman, I find myself in the rhinestone section just enthralled by all the sparkle...I don't know where there will be sparkle, but 2 packs of fake rhinestones and a bag of 250 gluesticks say "THERE WILL BE SPARKLE". I want to buy feathers...why? I have no idea, but I love feathers? I just walk around, aisle by aisle in a daze, like Dorothy over the Rainbow, envisioning homemade paper flower garlands, custom hair pieces for me and my entire Bridal Party, banners, signs, giant letters that are also boxes (why? No Clue, but they are kinda cool), glitter! in every color of fall. With lots of sparkles. Like I said, DIY Deathtrap.

Fitness is coming in the form of moving furniture for the play lately, as I have been crazy busy as we go into Tech Week at work. I am so excited to get this play all lit and pretty...but it means I might be MIA for a week or so while slammed at work. I will wear my Butt Shoes all weekend though, so it will give me a little extra oompf that I would not be getting in Non-Butt Shoes. I love my Butt Shoes. They are so legit. By the time I had walked to work, I was BURNIN! And it. was. good. By the end of the day, I was sore and could feel my hammis just begging for relief. And all I had to do was friggin walk! Thank you Reebok! Take that Jillian Friggin Michaels! Ya know what Bob, I will smile as I work out now, cuz I'm walkin on sunshine (and 16 pods of air).

I am so proud that I have continued my healthy eating throughout this week, last night I went out to dinner with my faves (J. Tray, and Stephen) and chose my dinner so wisely that our waitress complimented and could tell I was obviously trying to loose for a wedding...she also complimented my big ol' rock! Instead of getting a giant meal, or a carb loaded sandwich, I ordered sauteed spinach, grilled asparagus, and garlic mashed taters. The taters, not the healthiest, but it beats french fries. When I met with my cast for drinks later, I chose vodka and tonic (less cals)rather than super calorie beer. Don't worry mama, I didnt drink too much.

Today I had 1/2 a falafal wrap and some pita chips, saved the rest for dinner tomorrow! Water Water Water! I snacked on string cheese. Tech week eating wise is a little bittersweet. I have no time or mental capacity to eat, but it means I just shove whatever people drop off for me in my mouth while walking around or running to the bathroom. I typically drop some serious lbs during tech, but I am trying to keep it healthy, so we will see...

I haven't weighed in a while, but I am planning on it tomorrow....eeks. I will let ya know how THAT goes...

Finally, welcome new followers! I am so excited to see people starting to follow! Thanks for be interested in my life a little!
