Wedding Blues

I read this article in Brides magazine a couple of months ago, about the Wedding Blues.The article stated that many brides go through "depression" after their wedding. The depressed bride becomes used to being the center of attention, being doted on for 6 months and when the last Thank You card is sent and all of the gifts are put away she is brought back to reality. My friends, I think I have the wedding blues! And not because I miss being doted on. After a wedding shower, 2 fun-filled bachelorette parties, and 2 amazing weddings, I am very glad no longer being the center of attention.

I think I have the wedding blues, because I have NOTHING to plan. While it was a bit stressful at times, I loved the planning that went into our wedding. I loved stalking Pinterest, The Knot and wedding blogs. It was a thrill finding a good deal on luggage tags, bulk candy, and canvas totes! Now I'm left with stalking Facebook and "window" cyber-shopping....B-O-R-I-N-G (and not good for my wallet).Maybe that is why I have a difficult time coming up with weekly blog discussions, because life is a bit dull? On the flip side when I was planning the wedding I didn't have time to blog. Would it be odd to blog about our wedding after the wedding? Oh the conundrums!!

Week 2

Here we are at Week Two and already I am having a hard time coming up with something semi-interesting to write about. How can that be? I tried recalling the past week, to see if anything interesting or entertaining happened and one thing came to mind.

I arrived at the office early on Saturday morning (I had scheduled a taxi to pick me up and take me to the airport) and by early, I mean 5 AM. Naturally I thought I would be the only person in the parking lot, but to my surprise there was an older gentleman standing in front of his convertible. I look closer and I see that there is a gorilla sitting in passenger seat! Yes, it was a stuffed gorilla, but what in the world is a 70 year old man doing at the Ford parking lot at the crack of dawn on a Saturday, with a stuffed gorilla in his car? A few minutes later a corvette pulled in the lot. I'm guessing these two were headed to a car show or maybe a parade? Who knows, but that was the last thing I expected to see.

Entertaining? Not really. Completely random? Yes. Hopefully next week's entry will have a bit more content, but I'm still on track with Resolution #1!

New Year, New Resolutions?

2011, gone, done, over, but where did it go? As I'm sure many will agree 2011 flew by and 2012 is doing the same! With a couple of life changes taking place, I decided to put off my New Year's Resolutions until Day 8. When pondering what I wanted to focus on in 2012 I realized that I've only ever kept my resolutions once, last year's resolution of making my now hubby breakfast and lunch every day. I was wondering what made last year successful? I think it may have been to due to the fact that I announced it loud and proud on the "world wide web". So not being one to tempt fate, here I go with my resolutions of 2012.

1. Blog, blog, blog. Yep, that's right for the 3rd time I'm going to try and keep this blog going at least once a week. 

2. Take better care of my teeth and skin. As you may recall, I had 6 cavities last year.  Both my mouth and my pocket book think it's a good idea to be cavity free in 2012. And taking care of my skin just makes good sense, although I may have started project "wrinkle prevention" a bit late....better late then never! 

3. Gym. Funny how that word makes me think "ugh", but Tyler and I got into a pretty good routine before the wedding last year and it's amazing how much more energy I had.

That's it, three resolutions....check back next week to see how they are going!
