Best. Week. Ever.

So I have a lot to be happy about this week!

I finally got to go see my dress that has been in for over a month and let me tell ya, I LOVE it! So pretty and I feel really confident in my decision now that it actually fits me and I no longer look like Roly Poly Ollie...

Next thing I know, I am name Knottie Bride of the Week! How cool is that? I don't know why, but I'll take it!

Also, I am super stoked to be the new moderator for the CFL board on The Knot! So much fun already. These girls are great and I am having a blast so far. We have already organized another GTG and I did a whole bio for them.

Finally, the troll nasties on our beloved CFL board are gone. They slipped up and showed us who they really were. No more nasties and we have a totally different board now. So wonderful. So many girls who wouldn't post for fear of being belittled and tormented have returned and we are having such a great time. Love it!

All in all it has been a good week. I should play Powerball...

Thin Down Thursday!

Welcome to the first Thin Down Thursday - Blog Edition.

I post this every Thursday for the girls to keep motivated on my local Knot board. It helps us all stay focused on our weight loss for our impending nuptuals.

I feel accountability is HUGE in weight loss. I have lost a lot of weight in my life and unfortunately I gained some back as well. I want to lose this litlle bit before the wedding. Well, I say little bit but it is about 40 pounds. I have 5 months, so it works out to be roughly 2 pounds a week. I know that isn't so bad and will not be that difficult to do, if I just stick with it.

For a while now I have been doing the Smart for Life program. Basically I eat cookies all day. I know, poor me. I eat 6 cookies throughout the day and then a sensible, healthy dinner in the evening. I really stuck to it full on for the first month and dropped almost 12 pounds.

I know I can do this and I will be posting my progress here!

So much work, so much fun...

Today we helped out my girl Robyn with the rest of her paper for her wedding that is coming up in less than 2 weeks! We got several girls together from The Knot all over to my house and had a little "Save Robyn's Ass Party". We did! We got so much done. I just love how everything turned out.

I have been helping her out for a little while now. First with her map, then I designed her programs and just about everything else for her wedding paper with the exception of her invitations. I love it! Everything turned out so cute!

I can't wait for her wedding and it really is so much fun helping her out. She is always so happy and about to cry. I heart my girl Robyn...

Those pesky resolutions...

It is most certainly that time again and I really haven't thought about it too much, well, until now. I have to make some changes, after all, in a few months I will be a Mrs.! I hate actually doing this on New Year's. I am just getting over my holiday binge eating and my resolutions are always the same...maybe that should say something. But this year is different, this year I am going to stick to my resolutions. I HAVE to do it. I have absolutely no intention on getting married this size or with a house full of crap, so without further ado...

My resolutions.

1. The biggest resolution so far is the one I need to stick to the most. I have to finally get the rest of this weight off! I have 5 months and 9 days until my wedding and I want to lose about 40 pounds. It is totally doable, but with time flying, I need to get focused.

2. Purge, baby, purge! 2009 will be my year of organization! Now anyone who has been to my house is probably wondering just what I am talking about, but you see, it is all a facade. Take an extra minute to open just one closet door up and you will never look at me the same again. It is the classic story. We have too much crap. Time for us to get rid of it!

Well that is really all I have right now. I posted on the Knot that I also wanted to get up earlier and save some money...but I already screwed those up, so ehh, there is always next year!

Slack. Ass.

I have to apologize to my girls...this holiday thing has made me a total slacker in my world of blogging. But I am working, working, working on all things paper for my wedding. I have spent the last two days finalizing all of the little details and ordering supplies to make my invitations. I promise I will post it as soon as I finish getting the mock-ups done and get some good pictures. In the meantime, here is a sneak peak of our R.S.V.P. card. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

I know I have been a blogging slacker lately but things have been insane this holiday season! I will definitely have some new, exciting things to share after Christmas.

With that in mind, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

So here are 6 random facts about me:

1. Bobby and I met at the worst bar ever. It is called the Why Not Lounge and back in 1976 it was voted one of Playboy magazine’s top 20 clubs and the same people are still there. Dated as it is, it is a great place to people watch!

2. I have 4 cats. I was one away from becoming the cat lady on the street when I met Bobby. I had 3 girls, Josie, Kaley and Merlot. Bobby moved in and brought Zoe with him, and then there were 4…

3. I treat my Louis Vuitton bag like it is my baby. I know that sounds bad, but it was a gift to myself when I got a promotion and it cost me a small fortune. I love it, but truth be told, I probably wouldn’t have spent the money if I knew I was going to get engaged the very next week…then again, I probably would have...

4. I am a constant fidget. I cannot sit still. I always have to be doing something. Even if I am home relaxing and watching TV I am still on the computer doing wedding stuff or working or something.

5. My parents have been married for 35 (almost 36) years and have been together since they were 16. It gives a girl a lot to live up to…

6. I will only drive white cars. I hate any other color for me. This is a great debate in my household as Bobby loves black cars. We are keeping my white car and paying it off. Bobby will be driving it and I am getting a new one in March. He wants black, I want white. Guess who’ll win that one…LOL!
