"I'm So Excited!!! I'm so.... Scared!!!"

Unlike the last two Halloweens, Dave and I really didn't do anything this year. On Friday my office had its usual crazy party, but I chose to take a "sick day" and sleep in instead. And see one of my Bridesmaids Annie for delicious lunch at Panera. That night Dave had a party, and so I finally dressed up for the holiday. Wanna know what we were?

BEST SAVED BY THE BELL EPISODE EVER!! So, I was "Caffeine Pill Jessie Spano" and Dave was Zack Morris. I pretty much wore what she's wearing in the clip, down to the big bow on my head, and Dave wore tight jeans, a bright t-shirt under a button down, and a blazer. I sadly don't have any pictures of us, but I did take a picture of our AWESOME homemade props:

I spelled "caffeine" wrong on the bottle... don't judge me I made these in half an hour!
That's Dave's "Zack" cell phone, made out of a tissue box, straws, and duct tape. And on the right is my pill bottle, made out of an empty oatmeal container, construction paper, and some sweet printing skills. I also added a handle to the back of it, so it doubled as my purse!

I don't know why I wasn't super into Halloween this year like I normally am. Oh well. I was just kind of over it before it even began. Saturday night we spent in, handing out candy and trying to non-creepily lure kids to our apartment to trick-or-treat. (I had to make a sign with an arrow pointing down our stairs to make them realize we were handing out candy!)

BUT I already have an idea for next year's costumes! Let's just say they are AWESOME, and even Dave is excited. :)

Wedding Dream Woes

When I would hear of other brides having wedding nightmares, I used to think they were nuts. Now that I've had my THIRD wedding dream/nightmare, I take it back. My first dream was chronicled here. The second, I don't think I mentioned, but it basically involved my wedding dress being this ugly purple monstrosity, kind of like the below:

Lovely, right?
The dream that I had last night, was awful! It was a jumble of different things, having to do with the following:

- The rooms weren't set up in time for the wedding to start. For an event planner like myself, this was horrifying. Tables weren't skirted, food wasn't out, people were just milling about, etc.

- During the ceremony, it was super crowded, and Dave and I had our backs to everyone the whole time. Weird.

- I was VERY late in getting to the wedding. I don't know why, but I was rushing around frantically because I was going to be so late.

- Dave was wearing a blue jacket, and red shirt and tie. WTF? In real life, he'll be wearing black on black with a purple tie, so I have no idea why it was so different in my dream.

- People that weren't invited showed up. Like kids who go to Dave's shows.

Those were just a few things that happened during the dream, which kept waking me up all night. I really just remember feeling extremely frantic and uncomfortable. with T-5 months left to go, I wonder how many more dreams I'll have? Are they all going to be about things going wrong? I think it's interesting that I'm having these dreams, because I don't stress about the wedding too often (only once in awhile). Maybe my subconscious is stressing for me?

EEEEEK!

It's not me, its YOU

Dear Blogger:

How are you? It's been a little over two years since I started calling you my platform, and I think it's high time I said hello. So, hi!

I've been a loyal servant to Blogger since my beginning, but I'm starting to get the itch to make a move. You see, I like someone else. But we're still in that stage where I'm unsure, and the idea of the unfamiliar is stopping me, but it isn't as strong as it used to be. Blogger, forgive me, but I'm thinking of moving to WordPress.

The only things holding me back? The limitations I find when trying to pick a layout, and add widgets and other fun items. It's not as versatile as you, Blogger. (Or I just don't quite get it yet, which is possibly the case.) But it does have two very important things that you don't, Blogger my friend.

1. Pages
2. The ability to reply to comments

Why don't you have these features yet Blogger? I can't imagine they are very hard to come up with, being that WP is on that shit like white on rice. Is there a reason you're holding back? Are you too afraid of the unknown? Because I would REALLY love to be able to have pages on my blog, instead of linking to old posts/tags and calling it a page. And replying to a comment on the form? Well that would be nice as well.

Please let me know. Because otherwise, I may have to end our relationship soon.

You'll always be my first,

Lacey

Gives new meaning to "wanderLUST"

A certain blogger whom I adore has a Life List. Now many of us have Life Lists, as I do (soon to be published), but there is something on her list that has had me running through my mental archives to see where I'm at.

23. Have sex in all 50 states

I sat on the train last night, counting to myself. Then I texted this blogger a simple number. "7". Then I thought about it again, and when she responded (immediately knowing what that number stood for - cause she's awesome), I amended, and said "10 - including Washington D.C."

I ran home and asked Dave, and he only had about 4, he thinks. (The memory isn't so good with that boy.) So now of course I'm curious. Do you know all the states that you've had sex in?? Here are mine, in no particular order:

1. New York (obvs)
2. New Jersey
3. Connecticut
4. Pennsylvania
5. Maryland
6. Florida
7. Tennessee
8. California
9. Massachusetts
10. Washington D.C.

So, I've only "done it" in one state on the West Coast, and otherwise only on the East Coast. Interesting. I've got the Tri-state area down.

I think I need to add this to my Life List just so I can keep track! Hahaha.

You know you had a good weekend...

...when there is bull riding involved. This weekend was Arielle's birthday, and she celebrated with our friend Julie at Mason Dixon. Besides sucking down sweet tea vodka like my life depended on it, I dominated the bull.

Dave tried to dominate as well
Guys, I lasted for SO LONG. It was hilarious, and Nicole doesn't believe me when I said I had never done it before. Bull riding was also something that is on my (yet to be published) Life List, so I'm excited to cross that off.

Also, this is off topic but at the bar, I had probably one of the worst getting hit on experiences I've ever had. I was talking to one of our friends when I feel someone GRAB at my purse. I reel around and there is a guy, I guess trying to flirt with me? I warned him that you do NOT grab a girl's bag, especially in New York, cause I may have hit him! His friend is then trying to tell me that he thinks he likes me, and I say that's nice, thanks, but you don't do that! He then (the bag grabber) pulls me towards him by the waistband of my jeans, and tries to twirl me around. At this point, I stop him, say honey thank you, I appreciate it, but I'm getting married and he says "I don't believe you". Really? REALLY? So I flash my left hand in front of his face, and am like, hello?? What don't you believe now?? Flash forward 5 minutes and I feel a swat on my butt, it's the same d-bag, and he's hit me with his umbrella. My friend cracked up as I just stared at him, palm raised, and said, "Don't!" Flash forward AGAIN and he's hitting on Arielle, I warn her who he is and she get's it, and THEN a friend of hers walks over, taps the guy on the shoulder and says "we're friends." Turns out they had made out earlier in the night. HAHAHA. So, note to guys? Check who you hit on... girls tend to travel in packs, and yes, we talk.

And of course, for your viewing pleasure, is me riding the bull. Please ignore my THONG. Note to future mechanical bull riders - make sure your shirt is tucked in. Or wear a longer shirt. That is all.

5 months to go!

Every so often I feel that I'm allowed to have an OMG WEDDING!! post. And today is 5 MONTHS LEFT UNTIL I GET MARRIED so here it is. :)

- OMG WHY DID EVERYTHING GET SO CRAZY ONCE WE HIT THE 6 MONTH MARK?? I did so much early on and then did nothing for the next 5 months, and now it's like HOLY CRAP I have to get a lot done. Which I don't, really, but when a bunch of small things stare you in the face, it seems like a lot.

- Invitations are ordered. AHHH!! I found a great seller on Etsy, who is wonderful to work with, and I am so excited for our invitations! Here is what they will look like, with the information changed, obviously.

Aren't they pretty? I love the simplicity of them.

- I have a verbal consultation with a makeup artist next week. Really, I'm only getting my makeup professionally done because I can barely do it myself in every day life, and I don't want to look like a ghost in my wedding pictures.

- Apparently, I'm getting married on the first day of Spring. Who knew?? The makeup artist's assistant shared this tidbit of information with me, after proclaiming that it was "so romantic that we were getting married on the first day of Spring." Then she laughed out loud when I told her it was completely coincidental, and we picked the date randomly. HAH.

- My Co-MOHs are starting to put together my bachelorette party, and my mom and Co-MOH Allison are looking for bridal shower places in November. INSANE.

AHHHHHHH!

:)
