How long has it been?

Well, hey! It's been ... oh ... only like 3 years since my last post. But I guess that equals around 37 "blog years." That's ok.

Why did I come back, you ask? Well, I'm getting married. And when you are planning a wedding, TRUST ... you will need an outlet. It's usually my fiance or sister who listen to me go on and on about how stessed out I am. Now, it can be you! Don't get me wrong ... I'm very happy ... very excited to get married ... VERY EXCITED for it to be over so I get to go on my honeymoon! It's just a stressful process.

I never really wanted a wedding. I always wanted to elope ... go somewhere exotic and just get married without telling anyone. I really did want that! But, alas, I met and fell in love with the ONE guy in the world who wants a wedding. *sigh* It's ok ... We do everything I want to do most of the time (restaurants, weekend activities, etc.), so I figured I'd give him this one little thing. I'm not selfish at all, guys. Well, maybe a little. I'm just spoiled.

So, yes, we are having a wedding. It should be nice. I'm trying my best not to listen to other people's opinions too much, but sometimes it's hard. I'm a people-pleaser. But this is our wedding and we are going to do things the way we want to! Yes, we will! I could go into detail about the exact things going on, and maybe I will. Or maybe I won't post again for 3 years. It just depends on how I feel. I'm not going to be one of those consistent bloggers or anything, so don't get your hopes up! I mean, who in the world would want to read this kind of nonsense every day??

weirdness

ok, you may think this is mean, but you know you've thought it, too.



do you ever wonder why/how certain people got married? like that total random person from high school who was a complete dork is now married and has 3 kids and is the same age as you?



this happens to me every day on facebook. i'm not saying any of it is bad, it's just WEIRD. like, how in the world does someone live with you day in and day out. OR how are you mature enough to raise kids? i guess i will always think of these people as high schoolers.



but what's even worse is when someone your own age is already getting divorced. that's sad. you gotta be careful! i'm only getting married once...well, i guess most people say that. OR marry once for money and once for love. that could work, too.

carbivore

i've recently started a low-carb diet. ok, i started on sunday. i thought this would be fairly easy to stick to since my favorite food is cheese! however, it is proving to be more difficult than i realized. i honestly don't see how this diet works. i mean, i'm eating a TON more fat than i normally do, so how in the world can i lose weight? anyway, i'm going to try and stick to it for at least 2 weeks. it's so hard, though. you don't realize how many carbs are in everything! anyway, i'm sick of all my clothes not fitting, so i'm trying an "easier" way of losing weight rather than starving myself (which is impossible - if i hear the world "pizza" then i HAVE to have it).

and another thing - all these blogs i read on here...the girls who have kids lose the baby weight SO fast..it's amazing. i want to know your secret! i know i haven't had a baby, but it seems like it would be harder for someone who just gave birth to lose weight rather than someone who hasn't.

ok...i will stop dwelling....

sorry i don't really have anything interesting to write about...i don't really like writing about my everyday life for some reason. maybe it's too personal? i don't know - haven't figured out my reasoning yet.

i would kill for a bagel right now.

* $$

i hate to base my entire day's attitude on my once-every-six-months stop at the evil corporate coffee giant, but seeing as it's only 8:05am, i don't have much else to base it on. for the past few weeks, i've been contemplating purchasing one of the fall must-haves, the pumpkin spice latte. i typically try to steer clear of a) things that are ridiculously overpriced, b) things that contain more than my daily allotment of calories, and c) things that require me to leave earlier for work in the morning. however, today happened to be the day that i threw caution to the wind and induldged my expensive/fattening/time-consuming urge. (side note: this just happened to be the day that i could be late to work because i was picking my boss up at the detailing shop where he was leaving his car for the day) i order a $3.65 tall (small) pumpkin spice latte, and pull up to the window with my 3 $1 bills and some odd change in my hand, only to be asked for $4.05. ok, maybe that is what it was supposed to cost, but i think tax here is only 8% (actually, that kind of makes sense...), but who cares...anyway... i am handed a HUGE christmas cup and told to have a nice day. perfect! i think i'm getting an extra nice treat...a venti (large) for the price of a tall (small)...even though it seemed a little expensive. ok i'm rambling....the point is this latte tastes just like a normal latte. i'm convinced i got the wrong drink. annoying, right? yeah i guess that's what i get for induldging an urge. i should just live my life by the book and follow the rules. but, see, now i don't ever want to go back to starbucks because i don't want to risk them messing up my order, because i only go ever time there's a blue moon (you know the saying..). i wonder if i go back and tell them that they messed up my last order if they will give me a free drink. DOUBT IT. if it was wal-mart they would...they give you your money back for everything.

may 28

...was a LONG time ago. it seems like 7,000 years since i last "blogged." the word "blogged" sounds so funny/weird to me. like really geeky, but there's really no other way to describe it, so there it is.

so, i read like 30 blogs of people i rarely speak to, but i enjoy it so much! i don't know why it is so hard for me to come up with something to write about. i guess writing about everyday stuff isn't interesting to me. maybe i can come up with a few things soon...

workin on my fitness

i went to the gym today....the first time in a WHILE. it was so annoying because everyone there was like "where have you been" "are you in the wrong place" "you know this is the gym, right?" ok, i know i deserve it, but it's still annoying. and i've resorted to wearing big t-shirts to the gym instead of my usual cute sports bra and cute fitted tank tops. what? it's comfortable. but now i feel like i'm growing up and need to dress more conservative. no, i'm just kidding. i do it because i feel fat.

so, my favorite guy on The Bachelorette is jake, the pilot. he is so sweet, and i feel like him and jillian had a really special/mushy date. but honestly, that show is so unrealistic...of course you are going to fall in love with someone when you never have to pay for anything, and all of your dates are extraordinary. so, why do i watch it? it's ridiculous, yet addicting. oh, and my least favorite is david. i can't stand jocks....the cocky kind. i think most of them are insecure anyway. and the other reason i watch the show is because of this blog. truly hysterical.

i really want to wear my hair with a braid in it like lauren conrad...or pretty much everyone in hollywood these days. it looks so simple, but i cannot do it for the life of me. it ends up looking really stupid. i'm just trying to unleash my inner hippie! namaste.
