We're going to the chapel of loooove...

So my friend Erin asked me to help her plan her wedding. I'm mostly going to be in charge of decorating the cultural hall for her Provo reception. So far I know that she wants a sunflower bouquet and centerpieces. I guess she mostly wants the sunflower yellow to be an accent with a winter-y blue as the main color. I have no clue what she really wants because lets face it, she doesn't really care about having the reception. She has the man, the ring and she's getting married in the temple.

I was thinking about this whole planning business on Saturday while I lay in bed waiting for sleep to over-take me. Erin is getting married in the middle of January. Sunflowers, by nature, are a summer flower. Where am I to get real sunflowers for a bridal bouquet in the middle of January? I'm probably going to have a hard time finding fresh sunflowers but I figure I can take creative license with the fake sunflowers for the centerpieces. I just have to worry about getting a couple, meaning two or three, sunflowers for her bouquet and then incorporating winter friendly flowers.

Man...this is the 3rd friend that is crazy enough to get married in the freezing cold! What's up with that?

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

No time

It's been roughly 5 weeks since I last posted anything. Work and school have almost literally sucked the life out of me. My dad and I just got internet at the house, which does make things a lot easier. Even then...I really don't have time to do any real studying. Here's a typical day for me: 7 a.m. alarm goes off. try to wake up. press snooze a couple of times. wouldn't be human if i didn't, right? 7:15 a.m. actually get out of bed 7:20 a.m. shower 7:30 a.m. get dressed for work 7:40 a.m. try to remember to: fill my water bottle grab a can of soup & crackers for lunch grab CNA books & supplies eat something on the way out the door then curse myself for forgetting to grab my smock and name tag. unlock/lock the front door, again. 7:45 a.m. drive to work 8 a.m - 4 p.m work 4 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. take coworker(s) home. 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. CNA class 9:15 p.m. change into pj's. find s...

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]
