Getting Married Very Soon




















My wedding day is quickly approaching. We've received the Thank You cards that I designed via VistaPrint.com. I decided to design/print/cut the Announcement cards at my work (all in secret). The Announcement cards look fantastic. I ended up adding another personal touch with gluing some ribbon on the spines and using a stamp to decorate the cards and tie them into the envelopes. Because this website is somewhat anonymous, I can't post them on here. Let's just say, I'm proud of them, and I hope my family and friends can see how much I put into them.

I've been tanning like crazy because I'm normally extremely pasty. I received some tanning discount that affords me free tans for a month. It expires on November 3rd, so I will have some time to moisturize my leather skin before the big day. I do not condone tanning on a regular basis. I realize how scary skin cancer is and believe it or not, I think about that each time I go tanning. I think this may be the last time I go tanning in the salon. It's my wedding, and after that, there isn't something big and formal that I need to look darker.

My weight loss never really happened. I'm not actually weighing myself, so I don't actually know what my weight is or whether or not it went up or down. I've been cutting back on the eating. We received a beautiful blender from our wedding registry, and I've been using it to make delicious fruit smoothies each morning. I bought a frozen pack of fruit at Sam's Club with mangos, peaches, and strawberries. I also bought some fresh bananas from the local grocery store. To loosen it up, I added some low-fat vanilla yogurt and skin milk. I don't actually know what I'm doing, but it tastes great. Anyway, I've been walking more with the dog regardless of how crappy our weather is around here. I just want to get a nice healthy feeling inside regardless of my size. I think it'll pay off.

I booked a restaurant out in Malibu for our mini reception. It's only really for the people attending the ceremony to eat afterward. I still need to find a salon to do my hair (possibly) but at least do my makeup. Hmmm....
