Happy Halloween, Y'all!

Ding Dong....
Trick or Treat!

Yes, it's that time again! Happy Halloween! As I sit here and type this, Tim is answering the door at his parent's house getting a chuckle or two out of all the cute kids in costumes. Every now and then, I look out the window to the passers by and see what the hottest costume is. Wonder what it is this year. What do you remember dressing up as when you were a child? My most memorable costume...dressing up as a coke can! Tim's most memorable costume...wearing his dad's old Navy uniform.

Wedding update....
Arne's Warehouse won't be open until the last week of November or the first week of December. I ended up ordering candles online, and getting bubbles from a very exclusive place...Dollar Tree. Time is ticking away, and December 13 will be here before we know it!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!
Don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday night.

53 days to go...

This weekend was another busy one. A friend of mine is having a come and go craft party at her house in a few weeks, and I am taking some of my handmade cards, gift bags, and journals to sell. Needless to say, I've spent the last several nights working hard on preping things just for that. It's fun, mindless and relaxing, though.

Tim and I met with the DJ for the reception tonight. He's really nice and it sounds like we are all in for a fun evening! No telling what is playing.

My next big task is to start working on the program. I know who is reading and who is singing, but what Lory is reading and what Jamie is singing is still up in the air. Ok, so I know one of the two songs that Jamie is singing. That's a start, right??

Arne's Warehouse is still closed. I keep thinking they will open soon since their website is advertising Halloween costumes. Humm.... Keep your fingers crossed they open soon. Or I might need a plan B for bubbles and candles. (Maybe even a plan C for candles! Ha, ha...get it?? C for candles!! Ok, so I tried being funny!)

Book fair gets delivered to school tomorrow. I always look forward to book fair week, but am always glad to get the library back to a sense of normalcy when it's all over. So, if you are reading this and you are a local, come purchase some books for holiday gifts and support our library. This is one of our major fundraisers of the year. All the proceeds this next week will come right to the library for me to buy more books for our students.

Have a great rest of the week.

More wedding progress!!!!

The paper for the invitations FINALLY arrived on Monday this week!!! You should have seen the invitation assembly line we had going last night. I'm sorry to say I left my camera at home for that one! Holly, Heather, Sandy (Holly and Heather's mom), Tara and I were all dilligently working on invitations. Guess what??? Two and a half hours later all 120 of them were done! Talk about being proficient. I think what made the assembly go so well was the awesome pumpkin crunch cake we had for dessert, or maybe it was the spaghetti we had for dinner, or.... maybe it was just the spirit and hard-working friends I have. Whatever the case, it's done, thanks to my helpers!

Mom's and my success was very limited on Saturday last weekend. I did order my shoes for the ceremony, and I did get an outfit to wear to the bridal luncheon. Arne's Warehouse in Houston has been closed since Ike (and still is!). I'm telling you, Hurricane Ike truly messed me up!! I hope they open soon so I can get the bubbles and the candles. I guess I shouldn't worry too much about those minor details, but it's just one (or two) more thing(s) I could check off my list.

On a different note...
The apartment has seemed too quiet the last two nights, and seems quiet again tonight. I took Sylvester (aka Little Bit) to my dad's office Monday night. He was suppose to be declawed Tuesday. He ended up being declawed this afternoon. Apparently he has, as my dad said, misbehaved, and must stay another night or two. Little Bit didn't like the bandages my dad had on his front paws and pulled them off. Then he tried to nibble on his paws, thus making them bleed. If he behaves better tomorrow I'll get to bring him home. Ah... the quietness. It's nice but once you are used to having the playful one around, it's hard to convert back to being without!

59 days and counting!

Internet's back!!!!

Hope all is well with everybody. The internet is FINALLY up and running (at home) after Ike. Living without internet lately has been dreadful, this day in age! Although, I have to say I'd rather be without internet than power!

Seems as though I'm back in another wave of wedding crazyness. This week we taste-tested wedding cake, got centerpieces picked out for the tables at the reception, picked tableclothes and chair tie-backs. I also planned Tim's cake, but mums the word on what it is. You'll just have to wait and see for yourself in about 64 days. The best part of the week was the cake testing. Although, I do have to say I left the bakery with a sugar high yesterday afternoon! Tomorrow Mom and I are going into Houston to do some more finishing touches....candles for the candleabra, cake serving pieces, cameras for the tables,.....

Off and running....
Have a great weekend!!!!
