Looking forward to a pleasant evening!

Tonight I am meeting with Ms. Amy to discuss the flowers for my wedding. I am really psyched about it! I know they are going to be just perfect because I have seen her work before in Chloe's wedding. The flowers were just darling! Thus I have one less thing to stress about.

My best friend also phoned this morning to let me know that she is 4 weeks pregnant, so I am going to be an Aunt as well. WooHoo! I guess I'll have to send her size 4 dress back and get her a size 6 for the wedding. :-) Lol, I wish my dress were a size 4, but the wedding dresses run large. Still, how exciting! She has been trying to get pregnant for a while now. Her and her husband have been married for a little over 2 years and just moved into a larger house, so it all just works out perfectly.

I am also going to pay my caterer tonight on the way to the flower meeting. Wow, everything is just coming together nicely now. Even after working with these little monsters all day I am in a good mood. No complaints coming from my way today!!

Oh so happy

I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl! One of my oh so wonderful Aunts is helping me with my reception for the wedding and she has already gotten my candelabras taken care of. It isn't costing a fortune either. She just made my day when she called to tell me. I'm on cloudnine!

Just 10 More Minutes!!!

That is exactly how long it will be before I take my horrid car riders out to their parents! After that I am going to go home and enjoy my weekend....The suspense is killing me!!!

I need HELP!

I have come to the conclusion that all of the crunches and reverse isometrics in the world are not doing me any good whatsoever. About the only thing that is getting into shape on this body of mine are my buns, and I'm not even working on them. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to get my abs looking ship shape I will gladly try anything. I am not liking this pouchy belly that seems to be appearing out of nowhere! I mean I exercise everyday for at least 45 minutes. I should be seeing signs of something other than weight gain right? AARGH! I don't overeat by any means, so I don't know what has gone wrong or where! I need results (good results) in a bad way!

What a performance!

Last night I had to walk out of the room I was in when Sanjaya began to perform. I hope that America (and India) takes the hint and votes him out of the competition. I saw a clip on Good Morning America this morning where a girl was crying while he was performing. Well honey I would be crying too, but not because it was a great performance! If I were him I would have gone into my little room backstage and shed a few tears as well. However, I thoroughly enjoyed miz Melinda Doolittle's performance. At the moment she is my favorite. To think that she has been a backup singer all this time, she should have been out front somewhere! Keep up the good work Melinda!!

Salvation Army

I now know where all of my quarters and dimes go to when I give them to the SA at Christmas time. Yesterday Ben recruited me to go with him to teach an archery class at a SA camp about an hour and a half from where we live. It was out in the middle of nowhere, and it was huge! It had everything that you could possibly think of as well. The woman who recruited him to come up there came over and spoke with us and told us that there are 92 SA camps wouldwide, but only about 4 or 5 of them are open to the public (the one we were at was one of them). We drove around the camp on a 'tour', we were actually looking for our range, and started picking out stuff that we wanted to take back to our camp. That was pretty much everything, lol! We did find out from the lady in charge that most of the kids that come to the camp get scholarships, however there are still a few who have to pay. Personally I think they should all be able to go for free, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

Salvation Army's got it going on!

What is wrong with America??

I tuned into American Idol last night to see Sanjaya voted off, and was pleased to see him in the bottom three because that is where he belonged. He is always pitchy and doesn't project (which I am grateful for)! Sometimes I believe he is completely tone deaf. His runs do not cover up his horrible tonality. And he chases notes! It is not good to be at this level of a competition and be a note chaser! My choir and rehearsal stratedgies professor would have a heart-a-stroke! With that said I am looking forward to seeing him sent home next week so that the competition can begin and the circus can stop! I enjoyed watching Diana Ross perform too. Yeah she is older and doesn't quite have the voice she used to, but she is a true performer. She most definitely can still work a crowd. I'm looking forward to next week!!! :-)
