Call it Kismet

Without even planning it my wedding dress will be ready for my final fitting on October 16th and the wedding bands we picked will be ready for pick up on October 16th. Richard asked me to marry him on October 16, 2012. Call it Kismet, if you will! ;)

Invites

Welp, the invitations have all been mailed out and as Richard so eloquently stated as the last one dropped into the mailbox... there's no going back now! True, very true! So, now we patiently wait for the RSVP cards to come back so we can get an accurate number on everything from food to decor. As you can see from the invites we are not having a "traditional" wedding. This is a second wedding for both of us... so we just want it to be laid back and fun! A celebration of love and the fact that after over 20 years, we finally ended up together!

Now I'm off to find napkins in the color and size I want. Wish me luck!

Working 9 - 5

I've been spending a lot of time focusing on wedding planning lately, so this morning I figured I should spend some time focusing on Suite 22. I'm getting caught up on my "Thank You" tags. I've been stamping them as the orders come in, so it will be nice to have a stock pile of them once again. It'd be even nicer if I could get enough made to last me through the holidays. A girl can dream, right?

Sick and Tired

Me, around one a.m. this morning.

Feeling like poohsticks with a head cold. The upside? At least I feel like crap now. I was so worried I was going to get sick the week of my wedding and now it's just one less thing I have to worry about. Now I can get back to worrying about pulling off a wedding in five weeks when I haven't even found a dress yet! Egads!

Wish me luck, I need it!

Love

Happy 3rd birthday to Eugene, my little hairless wonder.

Dentist in the a.m.

I have a dentist appointment today at 11:40 am. That is in 50 minutes. I'm dreading it. Richard made the appointment for me. He had his teethed cleaned last week and they told him how not cleaning your teeth can lead to heart disease. So he made me an appointment.He said having your teeth cleaned makes you live longer. I suppose I should be flattered that he wants me around longer but all I can think about is that awful scraping sound. *shivers*

Wish me luck.

Let's Play Catch Up

It's been awhile since I've posted here. I'm not good at this yet and it's something I want to work on. I want it to become a habit to write here just like keeping up with my Etsy page, or my Tumblr blog or even my facebook page have all become habits. This too will get easier. They say doing something for 21 days straight makes it a habit, maybe we'll give that a go.

Well, a lot has happened since I was here last. I got to spend some quality time with my niece, Abbigail and my nephew, Mason before their school year commences. I love these kids as if they were my own. It was fun to take them to estate sales with us and to see the different things they each picked out. Abbigail found lots of old dolls and teddy bears and Mason started a healthy cigar and wine box collection to store all his musical gear! I love to encourage young junkers to reuse, repurpose, and recycle instead of buying everything new!

 

I also hit a ton of estate sales on my own recently. 12 sales, 129 miles, and lots of treasures!

I totally needed lots of new merchandise as I was signed up to be a vendor at the August 10th Cleveland Flea. I did just that and ended up with tons of exciting "old" things to sell. The day turned out to be perfect... sunny and gorgeous but a tad bit windy! We definitely need to work on some weights for our tent, we spent a better part of the day holding on for dear life in fear it was about to blow away. We ended up making it through the day though without any major catastrophes, thankfully.

The last tid bit of news... I had a podiatrist appointment this past Tuesday morning and was given the go ahead to lose the boot!! YAY! My Doc said I still may need the boot if I experience any foot pain, but after two days of walking on it, the worst pain is actually in my ankle. It feels as though it has become weak from not being properly exercised for the past six weeks. The only other downer? I'm still not allowed to walk barefoot or in sandals for the next 3 weeks. I swear I will have spent this entire summer in either a boot or a shoe! Sigh... I guess there's a first time for everything!

Well, I'm off to go sit with Richard for a bit. He needs to change his guitar strings in preparation for his gig at the Lake County Fair tomorrow evening. And if I'm lucky, he may even practice for a bit and I'll get my own private show!

Til next time... and hopefully it won't be as long between blogs. G'night all, sweet dreams,

Jenn
