Goings on

Two weeks later, I finally feel like myself again.

We made our way into Asheville and stopped by the tux place in the mall. I think we're pretty well settled on one.

Then we met with a dj that we ended up really liking. I'm concerned people won't want to dance and he had some pretty good ideas to get people involved. He even offered to provide accent lighting for the reception. He's getting married in a week at the same place we are, so he knows the place and had some pretty good ideas with layout. Without going into too much detail, the place is tricky & I haven't been able to figure out where everything should be. And I hadn't thought of this until he said something, but if we wanted him to do the rehearsal dinner as well, he'd give us a discount. I can't decide whether I'd rather spend the several hundred dollars more to get a live band or save that money by hiring him. ?????????????

After that meeting we made our way down to Greenville to visit my cousin and her husband. We went to David's Bridal & another shoe store to look for wedding shoes and decided on some contenders. Let me tell you...this is not easy. We'll find a style and color we like, but the heel won't work for an outdoor wedding. AAGH! SO frustrating.

We ate dinner after that and then went to see Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D. It was...cool. I guess. I just didn't like the movie that much (plot or whatever). If it had been Finding Nemo or Cars in 3D, I'm sure I would've left the theater in a full skip.

We headed back to our place around 9:00 and what should have taken us only 2 hours actually took us 3. I was not happy. There were two places where the highway was down to 1 lane. If I hadn't had to get up early for work today, I wouln't've cared, but I did, so I was not a happy camper. My fiance will tell you that that's an understatement.

Worked this morning, came home and mowed/weed eated, pulled weeds in one bed :oP, watched half of Mansfield Park, went grocery shopping, decided to transplant the wisteria--where has yet to be decided (don't buy wisteria btw), filled the bird feeder (bird seed = splurge made today), watched the rest of the movie and ate dinner. I managed to convince my fiance to move the electric fence to block the dogs from the flat part of the backyard. Cross your fingers for an easy transition. I have great hopes for the restoration of the yard and flower beds.

I must leave you for "Last Cake Standing" now.
