Aaron's loaf

I received an invite in the mail yesterday. It's an invite to my shower!! What the!? It's real! It's really real!! I am getting married! I am beyond excited!

Its been a lazy weekend so far. We haven't really done a whole lot of anything, really. Yesterday I slept in until 11:30...Aaron until Noon. (He didn't get home from Men's Leadership until 4am. He had an excuse......I did not.) We kind of sat around until 3PM where we decided to get up and go to the grocery store for dinner. We got the fixings so that Aaron could make his Meatloaf. I.LOVE.HIS.MEATLOAF! (
that's what she said) I don't even like Meatloaf...but his is fantastic. Its so moist .... I think we need to have a dinner party and Aaron can make his loaf. *drool*.

Later on we decided wording on an invite we still need to send out. Its a super cool idea and I hope people say yes to it. We're sending out invitations to people in our lives that we have a special little place for. What they're (hopefully) going to do is make a cake for us. That cake, will then be the centerpiece of the tables at the Wedding. So, each table will have a cake in the middle. Centerpiece? Check! Cake? Check! It will also be kind of a fun table project. Each table will be cutting their own cake! We'll (maybe) have instructions on the "proper" way to cut a cake so that its kind of a conversation piece.

It's snowing right now. Less than 4 days away from April, and it's snowing. Ugh. I'm tired of cold weather. I know it won't last long (blah blah blah) but I'm just antsy. I shouldn't wish everything away like I do!

Right now I am just making some breakfast and waiting to leave to go to Yoga. I figure that I can have a cinnamon roll if I'm going to go do Yoga.....right? Right?

Well, I think this is it. Rolls are almost done. I hope everyone has a fantastic week!!

"That's ok"

Had court today....again. Same reason. Plates. I've got 60 days to figure out whatever it is that I need to figure out. I'm so frustrated by all of this I just want to scream. (Or take a nap....whatever comes first. I'm thinking the latter option).


Have you ever encountered a person who just doesn't seem to listen? Its almost as if you aren't even there? I have a person in my life like that. They shall remain nameless. (probation..blah blah blah...jk.) Anyhoodle. Its very frustrating. I could be having a conversation with them and when I try bring up a point to further the conversation, it just goes back into more of what they are talking about (which is their own self.) I've learned to just shut up and listen ... but then I find myself day dreaming since I cannot be apart of the conversation, and that's not right either. How do you deal with people like that? Am I one of those people?

Another thing that bothers me is when telling a story, someone replies back with, " That's OK, I . . . " and then they proceed to something that "tops" your story? Last night at the bar, someone was asking about my tattoo and it got to my parents and such. I told them that they have both passed away and she goes, " That's OK, I lost my parents last year " .....What is that suppose to mean? That's OK.... I'm so confused by that. Its like when talking to people like that, they are constantly thinking of how to one-up you. They're one-uppers. And it just goes in one ear, out the other. I don't even like talking to others about my parents passing away because its such a long, boring and sad story that I just try to avoid it. But to just skim over it all by saying, " That's OK .... " No, no its not. How about, " I'm so sorry to hear that. I can understand where you are coming from as I just lost my parents ...blah blah blah ". There....we don't have to go into detail about my parents while you're still acknowledging what I just said, and we get to move on and talk about you. It's that simple.

Ugh.

Sorry for such drab posts. I'm not normally this Debbie Downer"ish"......Oh! Another thing: People who constantly update negative things. Try updating postive things in your life and suddenly you're life doesn't seem to drab anymore. Negativity is such an ugly thing. (I know I am ugly of such a thing) Let's all be beautiful!

That's it!!!


That doesn't look very attractive, does it? I don't think so and I am a smoker...but not for long. With the prices going up so much, its hard to continue to be a smoker. I heard today that someone bought a pack of Marb Lights for $7.00!! And the only thing I could think of when I heard that was, " Thank GOD! " I don't like smoking. I really don't. Its just a habit now. But I think its time to bite the bullet and stop. I have one pack left and I think I am done after that. I am scared to go buy the patch because of the price, though. Weird to think that $20 to stop smoking is holding me back when I spend that in cigarettes in about 3 1/2 days. Ugh. Its time, though.


Its time.
