Weekly weigh-in

140.0

I'm happy with that. Not a big loss, but a loss nonetheless. I wasn't very good with my diet again this week, so I'm happy with any loss. Still ahead of the game as you can see from the chart (sorry it's so blurry--I took it as a screenshot).

Those darn 130s are still elusive!

I'll admit it

I just did a google search for "bride groom ski gear". If all goes well, our honeymoon will be spent at a ski resort. Odds are we won't go right after the wedding, but that's fine with us.

Not surprisingly, no one makes ski jackets with "bride" or "groom" emblazoned on the back. Haha!

Perhaps I should just get pins that say "bride" and "groom" and pin it to my jacket. On second thought, there's the possibility that it could hurt if my skis decide to have a mind of their own.

Is it too cheesy? Would we look like idiots? I don't even know if Chris would be willing to do it. If we went to a couples resort like Sandals, there'd be no need for it. I suppose there's no need for it at a ski resort either.

I feel pretty...weird(?) for thinking that bride and groom apparel is cute. On one of the wedding shows I watch I saw a bride wearing a bathrobe that said So and so's bride on the back of it. I don't care what anyone else thinks of me for saying this: SO cute! But yet, so not empowering, independent, or whatever other feminist word of which you can think.

But I don't care...I think it's cute.

Happy weekend!

The past couple of weekends have been crazy with family and wedding appointments. I am pleased to say that all I have planned for myself today is go to campus to move my samples to the freezer, do a toning video (I was going to work out on campus, but I decided to give myself a day off), read, crochet, make Chris a valentine's card, and perhaps do some gardening depending on how high the temp gets today. Oh, and of course move the food from the fridge back outside. And Sunday all we're doing is meeting with the people who're doing our wedding music. What fun! I'm actually really looking forward to the appointment. I think it'll give us a better idea of the feel of the wedding.

So happy weekend and make it a relaxing one!

Communication skills

One of the things that Chris and I have that demonstrates to me that we'll make it long term is our communication skills. I have never been in a relationship where I've been able to work through things like this one. I think it's because of his personality and how he can express what he's thinking or feeling in a way that doesn't rile me up.

I'm just amazed by it and so thankful.

Sike!

So my refrigerator is NOT working. It died again at 9:00 last night. Exactly six hours after the guy came and said nothing seems to be wrong. And of course we had moved all of the food back in and of course it's the weekend and the repairman can't get back out until Monday. Personally, I'm glad it died again because now I know I wasn't imagining it the first time. Not that I thought that, but now I don't seem like such an idiot.

Would a world where nothing needed repairs be a good world?

Stupid refrigerator

I just paid the repairman $42.50 for him to come to my house, plug in the fridge, and say, "Now what was wrong with it? Because it's working now." What?! I was having a good day until these events transpired. I guess I should have plugged it back in a few days ago to see whether it would start cooling again. Why do I have to learn these things the hard way??
