Weird Monday

- Woke up this morning from a strange and disturbing dream, but it was one of those that you remember right when you wake up and slowly fades as you come into full consciousness. However it's the third yucky dream I've had the past three nights and I can't shake the uneasy feeling they give me.

- Realized my fiance really is leaving for Germany this weekend. And then comes back in a week and leaves for Georgia for three. So he won't really be with me emotionally until September. :(

- Just finished another weekend with my future in-laws and brother-in-law & sister-in-law. They're amazing people and I had fun, but I'm a little emotionally tired.

- Talked with my Mom on the phone who then started talking about nukes in the US and the end of the world...which merely added to my uneasy state of mind and did nothing to pop the Monday haze floating around my head.

- I have a couple projects left to do then I have nothing to do at work until my boss gets back next week Tuesday...which doesn't motivate me to want to finish them because then what will I do?

- I also feel out of shape and fat today...I probably should go for a walk after work to clear my head and energize my body...maybe that will be a goal while Dan's gone...exercise everyday for 30 minutes.

Mission Accomplished

July 2008 resolution : I will attempt to write a little bit each week in my blog, but no promises people... ;)
----------------------

Mission for last night: Buy roses and ribbon to do a test run on my bouquets
Where: Target and Joannes
Outcome: I've got the number of roses I want in each bouquet now. But no visual yet since I'm waiting for them to open up a little more. Plus we bought two ribbon colors (pink & green) and that will need to be narrowed down to one.

Surprising side trip: Buying the invitations and garter
Where: Joannes
Outcome: LOVELY! We saved sooo much money by deciding to print the invitations ourselves. When we realized that basically the one you send out gets thrown into the garbage and the only person who saves it is the bride & groom...why spend a lot of money on pretty invitations?? So we got 150 invites, envelopes, response cards & envelopes for $96. Woot! The garter was $2.99 so seriously...why not buy it already!
