panic button??

Red Sox nation - is it time for the panic button?? I think we're getting there...

Wedding planning update

Things we have:
Church/Reverend
Reception Hall
Caterer
Cake
Centerpieces
Bouquets
Dress/veil/shoes for me
Dresses for bridesmaids and possibly the flower girl (we'll have to see what it looks like when it ships - I ordered it online)
We are also in the process of designing our Save the Date cards - so be on the lookout for those!!

Things we don't have:
DJ (but we do have SEVERAL people looking into creating a dance band for us - we didn't ask for it, but I am NOT going to complain!!) :-)
Photographer - but we are talking to someone who is checking the date, and is going to get back to us
Invitations
Favors

What else is there? I'm not sure exactly, but it sure does seem like A LOT!!! Everytime I turn around, it seems like there are more things to do, but I also have done a lot at the same time. I am proud to report, however, that we are keeping a VERY reasonable budget on this whole thing, and are not spending a half million like on "My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding" or whatever it is called on VH1. :-)

Anyone else getting excited???

are we playing football or baseball?

If I said that the final score of a sports game was 30-3, what sport would you think I was talking about?

Football?
Basketball?
Certainly not hockey....

And I NEVER would have guessed BASEBALL!!!!

But there it is: Texas 30 - Baltimore 3

Good Lord...

all I have is weiners

I looked in the fridge and freezer tonight to figure out what to have for dinner. All I had was weiners. HOT DAWGS

I made a hot dog casserole. Spinach, egg noodles, sour cream, milk, cream of mushroom soup, hotdogs, peas, and crumbled bacon. YUMMY.

And the boy ate it!

He picked out most of the peas, but he ate the spinach. I guess I should call him Popeye from now on...

I am a food magician

I turned muffins into biscuits!!

I'll even let you in on my top secret trick!

When the recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour, just simply add 2 1/2 cups!!!

This is why I should not make muffins first thing in the morning when I am half asleep...

(They taste alright, just a little dense - kinda like me, I guess...)

Flufferbeer??

I would like to warn ANYONE who attempts to eat a fluffernutter sandwich while drinking beer. Upon taking a sip of beer, any remnants of fluff still in your mouth will expand into a tickly foam, making it difficult to swallow.

Beware.

Thank you.

it's really happening

After my cousin's wedding this past weekend, the boy and I have realized....

holy crap...

we're getting married!!

Tomorrow we're going to talk to the cake people, and help my sister pick out her maid of honor dress at David's Bridal (the other two bridesmaids have theirs already).
This morning, we were talking about groomsmen's outfits and what we wanted to do for the bar at the reception.

It is imminent...

as my uncle said "another one bites the dust"

I used to live here...

So I am allowed to poke fun!!

Thanks to Kellypuffs for pointing this out!!

THIS is what I am here for!

I got to fill in for John tonight...big shoes to fill.

But I had FUNNNNNN doing it!!! I decided to go for the "change of pace" route. I took the program for our upcoming concert, and we went through the whole thing! That's A LOT of music. We stopped and fixed things on the way, but we made it through a LOT tonight!!

There was a clashing of two worlds tonight...there were several of my ex-students in the band tonight while I was conducting. ....weird....

And it was HOT in the auditorium tonight...I was literally sweating...it was gross....

Then it was O'Hanlon's, which was always fun. (and an ex-student was there too - working as a waiter!!)

We left talking about oil....only in the NVCB.

I love this band

She lived a good life

(sort of)

Rest in Peace Petunia.

My much-tormented fishy has finally gone to the big fishbowl in the sky (or the big toilet bowl in the bathroom)

Although she didn't pass away under my watch (I was in Cleveland), I still don't blame the boy, he couldn't have helped it.

Her much-tormented few months are over.
