I just have to say THANK YOU CHRISTINE for those schools for the courses! I'm so glad you mentioned that! I've been wanting to take some classes, I just couldn't decide what I wanted to do, or how I was going to be able to work it in, with work and everything. So, I'm going to do some correspondence, and eventually get my ass out of this job!

Dave wants me to wait till after the wedding to start. I know I should, I just won't have time for it now. (*sidebar* I'm up to my elbows in wedding invitations! who would have ever thought that making 100 very complicated, detailed invitations would be so hard and time consuming!!!), I know I don't have time to take on an extra project right now, but, I'm impatient! When I get excited about something, I want to do it NOW! Not 10 months from now! My customers tell me all day long how much patience I have. Well, unfortunately, they suck up all my patience, and there is none left for me!

As for wedding plans, it's going very well. I amaze myself with how organized I am! Decorating is planned, hall is booked, church is booked, caterer is booked, music is booked, invitations are just about done, I think I'll take the girls dress shopping this weekend. We had originally planned on having the dresses made, and I bought $100 worth of this beautiful burgandy silk fabric for the girls, it was cheaper if I bought it all in bulk, then just split the cost between them.... and I picked out the pattern... then we found out that it's going to cost about $200 to have the dresses made! So, about $235 each for the girls, then plus taxes if the dressmakers charge it. So, we'll go look at bridal shops this weekend and see if it's going to be cheaper to buy dresses. Has anyone reading this ever bought a bridemaids dress from a bridal shop? Any ideas on prices?

I've been spending alot of time with Gina and Jason again, which is really nice. Dave and Jason get along super well, which I think is just great. They're such a fun couple to hang out with. It was really weird awhile back, and we lost touch really easily, I think because of the history and whatnot...(short version: Jay and I were engaged, Gina and I were close friends in high school, I introduced them while he and I were still together, they are now married *they didn't get together till after we broke up though...no cheating) But I'm so happy that that's all finally behind us, and we're all friends now. And Carolyn and Adam, I just love having couples that we can hang out with and have date nights and stuff. It makes our relationship that much stronger I think.

Dave started at my gym a few weeks ago, and Steve too. It's fun going with them, it gives me the motivation I need, and I don't even mind going alone now sometimes. I'm falling into a nice pattern, 1/2 hour of pilates in the morning while he's still sleeping, and 45 minutes at the gym at night. I think it'll work out well, if I can just keep it up. Which reminds me, Steve, can you burn that pilates video that's on my desktop onto DVD? it's on the notebook, and my blank DVD's are in my bedroom. Thanks!

Anyways, I'm on my lunch break and have to get back to work.

Ciao peeps!
