Lazy...

Yup, that's me. Had a full weekend planned, but after a severe sunburn on the gut and entirely too many trips to the gym this last week, I found myself passed out more than awake. Also, I am playing a little guessing game with myself on whether or not this quasi-case of flu-like symptoms will fully consume me this week, but I guess better now rather than three weeks from now.

One thing I did get out of my bout of laziness was motivation to lie on the couch and watch the Oscars. Somehow whenever Angelina's name is mentioned a sea of awkward comments and actions follow. Miley Cyrus had a good one - she is a tool, by the way, how is she even famous? - when she mentioned that she wanted Angelina to adopt her. Really isn't it enought to be the daughter of Billy Ray - Let's not start on this strange father/daughter relationship. Knowing how my father reacted to certain choices I made at the age of 15, he indubitably wouldn't have let me parade down a red carpet with my ta-ta's hanging out. But I digress.

The second awkward moment of the night was that Jennifer Aniston was a presenter. Period. What is wrong with this woman? Does she seem completely off her rocker to anyone else? And what was with the shots to Angelina during this presentation...yes, yes, I realize that she was co-presenting with Angelina's Kung Fu Panda co-star, but could we have picked a more unbalanced duo? We had the comedic (some may disagree with my choice of words here but...) genius of Jack Black (have you ever seen Saving Silverman? Come on!) with the unexciting, tanning booth addicted, crazy mess that Jennifer Aniston has become. Is Hollywood truly hurting enough to drive gossip by pairing Jen with Jack, when they knew Angie and Jack starred together in a movie that was being presented as an Oscar nominee...I was really turned off by this.

Whatever happened to old Hollywood? Glamorous Hollywood? Classy Hollywood?

T minus 30 Days and Counting

Today marks 30 days until the wedding, however, I cannot wait for everyone to visit in the coming month. Already we are planning a week full of wedding festivities from golf to concerts and parties. It doesn't stop after Friday, either. Fiance's cutie little niece will be having her 2nd birthday party on Saturday and then we are all going to Spring Training games on Sunday. (Can't beat cold beer, baseball and warm sun on a Sunday afternoon.)

On Monday morning we leave at 5:00 a.m. as Mr. and Mrs. and head to sunny Jamaica for a laid back honeymoon (5 nights), before we return to all the hustle and bustle of everyday routine. We have booked the pooches their own all-inclusive stay at a new boarding house with a built in water park. Bella could not ask for more - except for maybe her couch and her "baby" (which has gone by way of the garbage truck as she was black and nappy, covered with dog slobber)

The wedding plans are complete. The only thing left is to receive all the RSVPs and do a preliminary head count this Friday!! After that we have a run through of how things are going to be done and any last minute changes that need to be made 2 weeks before the day. All in all, I'm glad the "wedding planning" experience is over. I can't tell you how many times I was ready to throw it all out the window and head to Vegas. (Being a mere 4.5 hours - speeding slightly - away from Vegas doesn't help) Now on to the fun part. !!

Who knows, at the rate I am posting, my next blog will probably not be until after the wedding...pictures to come :)
