Happy Sammich Day!

Today was as busy as expected, if not busier. Started off the day being sabotaged by the stupid time change. Forgot to change the time on our alarm clock, so we got up an hour too early for my infusion. Considering how late we went to bed, I tried to go back to sleep for an hour but was not successful.

Started undecorating from Halloween. Ran up to Hamburg and stopped at Dietrich's Men's Shop. We lost our ring bearer very last minute, and we had paid for his tuxedo rental. Thankfully it wasn't so last minute that we couldn't cancel the rental and get our money back. A day later and we would have been screwed and I would have been mad. I really enjoy Dietrich's. The owner is very nice and helpful. The shop is well kept, well stocked, and reasonable. If you're looking for something nice for the man in your life it's a good place to look. They carry lots of interesting things on top of nice clothing.

No matter how well prepared and organized you want to be as a bride, chaos will ensue as your wedding gets closer.

It Feels Like Midnight

Well, we never did get our pumpkin carved yesterday. Sometimes that's just how it goes. It will live to see another holiday and hang out for Thanksgiving now. Tomorrow I'll probably start taking the Halloween decorations down.

Our chicken got really good yesterday. It was probably the best chicken I've ever made, and I've cooked quite a few chickens in my lifetime.

We slept in super late today. I actually got the handfasting ceremony done for the wedding though. So that's a plus.

Chris was a prince and made dinner. Hot dogs with chili and mac & cheese. He's now lost in Fallout 3. He's gearing up for Fallout 4 to come out apparently.

Everything feels so weird today between how late we slept in and the time change. By the time we woke up it was pretty much getting dark again.

Wedding Hair

Wow, today has been insanely busy. There's so much more that I would have liked to get accomplished, but just not enough time or spoons in a day.

Woke up about a half hour before the alarm would have went off and did some things around the house. Tinkered around with the blog a bit and discovered all types of cool features I didn't realize existed. You'll be seeing the layout and features here gradually changing, and a great deal of things under construction until after the wedding when I have more time to really dedicate to making everything look fabulous. I'm really excited about it. It lets me share more with all of you even more effectively while simultaneously making this endeavor even more enjoyable and profitable for me. Win/win!

The day started out with my bagillionth wedding dress fitting. My dress is getting really pretty, but they weren't nearly as far with it as I expected them to be by now. They don't have much to get done yet though, so I expect to get it shortly after my final fitting next week. It's pretty. I just hope Chris is wowed by it. Every girl wants that 'Oh my gosh' reaction from their husband when they walk down the aisle. I mean, I can't exactly certify that fact, but I'm running with it.

My poor Mom, they altered her dress and put the shoulder straps together wrong totally flipping the angle of the dress and making it look terrible. I don't know how they did it. Luckily they still had the same dress in another size that I think fits her perfectly fine.

Due to cold weather by our wedding day everyone's breaking out shrugs for their dresses, but they're busting them out in the wrong colors. Mostly white ones are appearing. I haven't been bridezillay about much, but I don't want my wedding party looking like a purple and white mismatched Easter basket. Go shopping for gray peoples! Gosh! Hahah.

'Someone With a Lot of Nerve'

We got lots accomplished today!

The day started out with Tux being an exceptional bastard. Most nights he curls up at the bottom of the bed with Daisy. Last night though he decided he wanted to sleep with me. He's always incredibly rude about sleeping with me, and generally picks one of the positions below. He tends to prefer the 'scarf' or 'someone with a lot of nerve' position.

So I get up to face the day, and stumble upon this:

Shoe insoles scattered randomly. Tux has been busy. He has an obsession with shoes, especially putting his toys into shoes.

So Chris and I are planning our day and Tux begins this nonsense. He's obsessed with something on this wall that apparently only he can see. Thus begins the chirping, clicking, tail twitching.

He eventually gave up.

Meanwhile Chris is chilling with Daisy, who is not mildly psychotic.

I did some chores around the house and got the program for the wedding almost complete. Followed up on some RSVPs, scheduled the rehearsal dinner.

Our engagement pictures are on Monday, so we ran out to get prettified. Chris got a haircut. I got my eyebrows waxed and nails done. Bin at Spa Massage in Wyomissing did my nails, and he did a pretty good job. I really love the cute little design he did on my ring fingers.

Chris was quite the gentleman and patiently sat with me the entire time at the salon. How many men do that? They kept trying to give him a mani/pedi. Good luck to them at getting him to put his monkey ballern game down long enough for a manicure. Maybe they could have talked him into a pedicure. 

I tried to talk him into an eyebrow waxing. Apparently he's had it done before and it was 'like getting punched in the face'. Men. I don't think they're that bad at all. (Men or eyebrow waxing that is.)

I was surprised to see they do Brazilian waxes there. While I don't have much modesty left, I really can't see myself walking in somewhere and asking them to please wax my vag. I have a hard enough time usually just communicating at a salon what I want done with my nails. I can't imagine how awkward that conversation would go.

I see what they did there.

Planning on making a version of egg-stuffed baked potatoes for dinner tonight. Here's a good recipe to follow to make them:

I'm hoping they get good. We have some leftover pizza in the fridge to take care of, but I'm pizza'd out. Pretty sure Chris could eat it every day.

Not entirely sure what the weekend holds for us yet. Some chores, wedding stuff, but other than that I think it'll be pretty quiet. Get some of our Netflix queue taken care of. Excited for our engagement photos on Monday! Can't believe Halloween is almost here. Really can't believe it's only 29 more days until our wedding!
