Brain Dump....

It has been one of those weeks again winners. It started on Thursday when I got an email from one of my bridesmaids, informing me that she has had ZERO interest in organizing my shower from the other bridesmaids. Including my sister. And my best friend. She said they haven't even responded. All they care about is the bachelorette party(oh, I am going to get to that in a second). Weaze, had this great idea to make it Alice in Wonderland themed(one of my FAVORITE childhood stories) and the shower was going to be based around the Mad Hatter's tea party. Picture it: Little cupcakes with eat me, different flavor teas, tea cakes, finger sandwiches, mis-matched tea cups, the works! But she can't get it off the ground because the other bridesmaids are like, "Yeah, whatever." This just pissed me off! Rev's family, I could understand, but my sister and my best friend? Not so much. Then I decided to probe a little further and ask Weaze about the bachelorette party. She said they haven't gotten that off the ground either. The most she could tell me was there was a rumor about pole dancing classes and a hotel room. I know what it is. Add Bride, Liquor and stir. I wanted my party to at least have a theme. Namely one centered around Kanye West because he and I are getting married on the same day. I wanted the bachelorette party to have a theme of Touch the Sky/Drive Slow. The theme of the receptions is going to be Diamonds Are Forever. But all those two can think of is themselves so I guess the theme is Get Krunked Up. *sigh*
Today was my first dentist appointment in YEARS where I had no new cavities! Hooray for oral hygiene! Shoot, I wanted one of those Cavity Free stickers they give the kids. Shoot, I earned it. I have the 80 dollar Waterpik to prove it. Miss Beasley was supposed to get her teeth cleaned today, but I can sum that up in a few words. Bitewings, threw them out of her mouth, referred to a pediatric dentist, nitrous oxide. So, I have to take to a dentist where they can sedate her to get her teeth cleaned. Sheesh! Speaking of teeth my Bonus-Son Jay-Jay lost his first tooth. Right down in front. The one next to it is loose too. He is only four and I was wondering if it was too early for him to be loosing teeth. I guess not since these days the average age for beginning menstruation is 9.
Did I mention Rev and I were moving. Yeah, in three weeks. Ask me if I have packed anything. Nope. I am last minute to the bone. I will probably start this week. There is not much for me to move. Just books and clothes. I am sooooooooo happy I will not have to make that hour drive every morning. My bank account and my car are too. The apartment complex is right across from Miss Beasley's school and her dance school is around the corner. I have tons of decorating ideas. I will also have my very own first ever in house laundry room! It felt dayum good to read an article on organizing an laundry room----and it was news I could use. I am getting ready to browse Tar-Jay and see what they have in the way of closet organization because the new place comes with a---wait for it---WALK IN CLOSET!!!!!! I did not care about any thing else when I saw that! To say my closet at my parent's house is small, is an understatement. I was also sold when I saw the pantry and the pass through window in the kitchen. Well I am off to Tar-Jay.com where all my dreams can come true. Be Blessed!

Thank God I am Getting Married!!!!!

Yeah, because I discovered last night that the dating world sucks harder than when I was last out there. The pickin's are slim, slim, slim.

Last night, me and a group of friends went to this new club called Encore in Virginia Beach. Now, mind you, I have not been to a club in about 2 years. So to say the least I was just happy to get out the house. Going to Encore made me realize two things: 1) I am getting older 2) Going to the club for us now just means and opportunity to take pics for your myspace or facebook page. The first point I realized when I stepped in the club. There were just too many hard wraps and outfits from Rainbow. And then of course you know there always has to be a broad that is almost damn near half naked that needs to get some attention. The second point I realized, because that is really all we did while we were there. And all night. Now, on to why I am happy I am getting married. I had about 50* guys try to come and talk to me with some of the most lame lines I have ever heard. And every single time I would just reply , " I am getting married in April. It was a good time though, and I enjoyed getting out with the girls! Be Blessed!

I'm Baaaaaackkkkkk!!!!!!!

Oh Lord, I have not blogged in a month of Sundays. I will try to keep the updates short and sweet. Pay attention cuz it's gonna go kinda fast.....

  • Rev and I are STILL getting married!!!! April 12, 2008 at 4pm is the date and time. I am crazy happy and excited and all that right now!
  • I lost 5 pounds!!!! Right before dress fitting time!
  • I am still in the crazy choir but my last day will be when I get married. They will probably throw a party when I leave.
  • Shouts out to Jersey for keeping my blog warm!
  • My bridesmaids are acting the fool right now(well all except 3 of them)
So pretty much I have been busy with random stuff happening to me. Um, last week I had pnuemonia. Then today I discovered that I had a piece of plastic wedged in my pupil(VERY painful). The opthomolgist was super nice and she reccomened these contacts to me that you can throw away each day. I was looking at her like, "Thanks, but even if they are daily wear I will STILL wear them past the time I am supposed to". Yeah I know myself REALLY well. I am either really cheap or I am hell bent on being blind(I DID watch "Dancer in the Dark" 50 million times).
Wedding planning sucks. I could bore you with the crazy things that have gone down, but It is best summed up in a few words: New reception site, scaled down flowers, 6 bridesmaids without dresses, 200 dollar alterations, mystery bridal shower/bachelorette party. Now about the bachelorette party: My little sister is organizing this and I have not been asked any questions about what I want. I know how my sister can be. We will end up in an Econo Lodge, drinking Thunderbird out of those unbiquitous "Red Cups" watching "Ashy Larry" shake it for a couple of dollars. I just want to have fun! I am bothered by them having it on the Thursday before my wedding. I will work around it.
Rev and I are doing good. We hit some rough spots but we survived. I think it was just growing pains of our relationship. We are moving into our first place together on Febuary 8th. I am excited. Don't worry Winners, I will have internet AND a computer at the new place(yeah, We Comin' UP!) Well, that is all for now, and I will not be this lengthy in between post!
