Why haven't you written?

I am so sorry that I haven't written ANYTHING lately. I am becoming preoccupied with this little party that I am throwing on 10/23. Everyone keeps telling me it is only a little party what are you freaking out about? This has been a true test of my planning, organizing, communicating and creative skills. I have been told by a dear friend that I should terminate my employement in the biotech field and become a wedding planner. I love doing all of this but I do NOT think that I could do this for a living. Although somedays I seriously would think that I could do it. It would be pretty good money too. But I am sure that I would get one bridezilla and be done with it.

I have been good. Doing a bunch of wedding stuff. I will give you a quick checklist.

favors-check, finishing tonight
Flowers-check
music-check, check, they are practing together this weekend.
hair-check, pre-wedding trial 9/25
dress-check need to get it to the store for cleaning then bustle the week of.
attendant gifts-check, Josh is buying the guy's stuff tomorrow
tanning-check, turning native believe it or not
stuff for marriage license-check, going on 10/10 (happy birthday M nM (my favorite aunts), Brett Farve and Dale Earnhardt Jr)
readers-check

That is all that I will bore you with at the moment. I apoloize for the lack of attention to you. I do still love you. Think of me for the next 37 days.......

Hurricane Report

I heard from my Grandparents on Friday. They are well. They went down to see their home last Thursday. There is minimal damage. They are unable to return to their home yet as the power and water hasn't been turned on yet. Also, their home was deemed unfit to live because the inspector was unsure of the flood damage to the home. I think that they have to wait for them to come back through and check in out. I am VERY happy that Ivan will stay away from them. My grandma's health is starting to go downhill. The last thing that they needed was another hurricane.

Thanks for the prayers it helped!!

Are We Having Fun Yet?

This weekend was the weekend to celebrate my friend's wedding. N(I will call her that as she is a reader and I haven't asked her permission to use her name yet.) is getting married on October 2nd. Yes, three weeks before me. I know we are crazy, want to end up completely BROKE and have a true test of our friendship. Planning these events are a little stressful. I'll admit it I got a little cranky about things. I just wanted everything to be perfect for N. She is my oldest, dearest friend. I want nothing but the best for her.

Saturday we went out for N's bachelorette party. We painted pottery at Paint It! Pottery in Wisconsin Dells. It was REALLY fun doing this. I hope that my vase turned out. Now I just need Josh to bring flowers home to put in the vase. We then went out to eat at Pedro's had a few Margarita's and good food. We then hopped in our limo and rode to Cruisin' Chubby's as they have male strippers on Saturday nights. We of course had to walk past the horny men watching the naked women walk around. I didn't know that the women got completely naked?!?!? I thought that they had to leave their g-strings on at least. Why the heck couldn't the men do that? I purchased a lap dance for N she kicked and screamed the whole way up there. She really didn't want to be there. I don't know why, but she didn't want to do it. Silly Girl!

Then we rode around a while in the dells. Stopped and picked up some people at N's place of employment(That I will not tell you as I don't tell you mine. I do not want to link the two as protection for both our and our employer's sake they don't need to know about this. And we want to keep our jobs) to pick up some people. We cruised around the dells and got dropped off at Ho-Chunk to lose a little money. I was up 4 dollars on the penny slots and we went to nickels and I lost it all. We found these hot bachelors at Ho-Chunk. I think that we saw them at Cruisin Chubby's going in when we got out. They got dropped off by their limo the same as us. We were taking the shuttle back to N's place of employment to pick up one more person as she had to close out the drawers and stuff. We hopped into S(another bridesmaid)'s SUV and drove to Brother's in law. It was the last they were open so it was a HUGE party. It was packed. We danced our hearts out. It was too crowded to get to the bar so we didn't really drink. Just danced our hearts out. We ended up running into the hot bachelor's again. There was this one guy dubbed "The Thunder Down Under" He was SO HOT!!! He was cute and nice and had this smile that makes you melt. They hung out and danced with us and had a good time. We closed the bar down. And had a blast doing it.

Thank You Officer Kratochwill

This morning was a rough morning. First of all with all of our late nights it has become harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning. This week is going to be a rough one. There is a lot to do. So I got up this morning and headed to the shower. I ended up leaving the house about 10 to 15 minutes late. So I figured I could grab our "wedding change" and cash it in. So I stopped at the bank. I was a couple minutes early for the opening so I waited patiently until I saw them unlock the doors. I went in and it took a couple minutes to count seeing as there was $108 worth of change there.

I got in my car and continued on my way to work. Not paying any attention to pretty much anything but where I was going I drove on. Now not paying attention to anything but the road can be a dangerous thing. Because you do not even notice the speed at which you are driving. As I rounded the corner at Wisconsin Heights I noticed a cop sitting there. Looked down and went "Oh SHIT I am going 65!' I thought for a moment that he wasn't going to pull me over but a I passed him and the lights went on. I pulled over. I wasn't as nervous as I had been when I had been pulled over in the past. I knew that I deserved the ticket. I knew that I was speeding. I have a case of what they call lead foot.

The officer came up and asked to see my license. He politely told me that I was speeding and that the radar gun said 65mph. Warned me that I was indeed in a school zone and the speed limit was 45mph there. He continued to tell me that he didn't plan on giving me a ticket just a warning. He also stated that the cost of a ticket going the speed at which I was driving was $156. He then said that he was going to run my license to make sure that it was valid. He officer returned to his car.

Like I said. I wasn't too upset about this. I just hate it when people drive by and stare at you. It is like you are on a hidden camera and everyone is laughing like "Ha Ha Ha you got got speeding..."

The officer returned saying everything checked out and bid me a good day. He told me to keep a better eye on my speed and that I should be careful pulling back out into traffic. Also that he found that I hadn't had a traffic violation since 2001 and that if I kept speeding my record wouldn't be clean for long.....


Wow what luck....

Watching & Waiting

Well hurricane Frances has came and gone. I have been glued to the TV most of the weekend. As you heard Frances ravaged Florida hitting near Ft. Pierce, which is coincidentally the town my grandparents get their mail. I keep seeing pictures of the wrath of Frances in Vero Beach and Ft Pierce. My grandparents live on an Island between those two cities.

I stopped and talked to my uncle on Sunday my grandparents are still in Kissimmee. I think that they were planning on staying until today or tomorrow. I told my uncle to let us know when he hears ANYTHING since he talks to them almost every day. I will let you know when I find out....Hope that there is something there....!

Watch out here comes Ivan!
