Obviously obsessive about everything.

Favorite thing about the new year- buying a new planner. Biggest frustration of a new year- trying to find a planner I like. I am very picky- it HAS to be 12 month, weekly, with monday- wednesday on the left side and thursday-sunday on the right, no silly colors or designs, fits in the purse. Also I have to feel a strong connection to it (because I'm crazy.) I drove to five stores today to find my planner. FIVE.

This is what you get when you buy a planner 1/2 a month late


The inside was exactly what I wanted, but I am not a pop/punk tween. So I stopped by Cottonwood Used Books to look for a cheap old book with a really cool cover. Just swapped the insides and added a pen holder. Best planner ever.



I'm thinking about starting up my Etsy account..

I just figured out I could have a user pic! So this is Jean-Paul and I at Union Pool in Williamsburg, while I was working a few summers ago in the appletown. Staying economical and classy with PBR. (Because I'm sure you all wanted a blown up picture.)

its 2010!

Doesn't it look funny when you write it out- 2010? it sort of looks like a word.
anyway- New Years resolution- 20 pounds in 4 months. Is that possible? I hope so...

Mom and I ordered the bridesmaid dresses this week. I let them pick their own dresses by Amsale. I am very relieved that this decision has been made and I can stop looking for dresses. So, they are perfect, and will work perfectly with my dress, and suit each girl's personality.

Started looking at flowers- This is difficult. I don't really care what sort of flowers, I just want them to be the right colors. The plan was to just buy bulk and the day of the wedding the ladies and I would make bouquets and centerpieces. I figure this will be better than sitting around feeling nauseous. Plus why should you pay someone ($50 per bridesmaid bouqet, $100 bridal bouquet) for something that you are perfectly capable of and pretty good at doing. The hard part is saying I have 10 tables, 3 bridesmaids, 5 boutineer.. hmm.. 6 dozen of these, and 4 dozen of these. My brain doesn't work that out.

Had my 1st almost mini breakdown over bridemaid dresses not matching my colors/flowers.. nothing too serious, felt a minor heart attack. Then the next day I went and saw the dresses said- oh nevermind, it matches. Mom compared me to the scene of Julie & Julia when Julia burned the beef bourguignon (I was not that dramatic).

Training for my second job tomorrow.. I'm already exhausted with the one (I'm so full of good ideas). I guess I'd better go spend some time with the fiance.. since this is the first day this week I didn't fall alseep the second my rump met the couch.

2010- Its going to be a big year.
