Wedding Schmedding

Wedding Schmedding

Its been many moons since I have found the time to write about my life. Its a thunderstrom from one day to the next, each day presents a new flow of issues that seem dwarfed by my niagra falls of a wedding dibacle.

Id like to start by saying, I, am NOT one of "those" people who plan this shit since infancy. I dont spent my free time looking at magazines and tiaras dreaming of my dress and being a wife. What is that anyway? What does "being" a wife mean. I've wondered this since a friends mom told me she is thrilled for me to "be" a wife, like its some sort of career. Dont get me wrong weddings are fun, when they are not yours and marriage is beautiful unless your getting divorced, I suppose its what side of the fence you stand. I suppose I believe in a more modern version of marriage, where your partners, hes takes out the garbage I take out the recycling, he makes me scratch his back for like 15 minutes and I make him scratch mine for an hour. Equality is what its all about my friends.

On the flipsies

Im looking forward to having my last name change to Chin, because we have this theme going now, where everything is double chins. Im super ultra corny and find these sorts of jokes the most humorus to me.

 Ive gots to run and by the way I find it bullshit there is no spell check on this. I havent (as you can tell) needed to figure out correct grammer since 1997 so I know there are typos mix in here like the berries in your yogert, I know this and am working on it.

Over and out

Double Chin

Too hot 2 Handle

Too hot 2 Handle

Well, I can say with all honesty that Seattle has been totally unbearable in the past few days. For a city that rains more than anything and has an average temperature of 51 degrees(on a good day) the 103 degrees of misery we have been faced with has been my own personal version of HELL. I do not posess an Air Conditioning Unit since there really is no need 360 days of the year here are freezing, so me and fiancee decide to tough it out, like how hard can it really be, and whats hilarious is, AC units are selling like hotcakes here and people are paying out of their asses for them. So Al and I decide to stick it to the man and keep our precious pennies towards something better, and just sweat it out. I was so desperate to keep cool at night, I slept on the floor and it was 92 in my casa alllll night, I put wet wash cloths in the freezer and then wore them like next years Parada. I have never had such an awful time sleeping, it was the quintessential Sleepless In Seattle minus the annoying Meg Ryan. When I woke up yesterday at 8:00am and went downstairs to look at the thermastat and saw the little digital numbers of doom tell me the inside temperature of the house was 89 I wanted to jump off a cliff. Now the real tragady in this case is my poor poor husky. He is not built for such whether and i did everything possible to keep him cool, like feeding him ice cubes and fanning him down like he's a god. Today has been a welcome relief, a sweet ass 87 baby, its like a breeze of fresh air, and I know when I go home the fan will blow cool air instead of hot, soggy air in my face. As the days go on here the temperature will fall a little more each day and will continue to gracefully do so until we even out.

 

On a side note:

I have started searching for venues for the wedding and I have to say, Im not one of those people who has dreamed of this moment my whole life. I have no clue on what to do and when, and of course Al is passive on most of this. So kuddos to the girls on this subject because I have attended several weddings before and had fun, bla bla bla, that was great, thank you, and goodbye. So now that I am in the drivers seat things have definatly come into perspective for me.

I am currently at work and its so slow (yes!) because this allows for time to write this blog. I am working on being more consistant so bear with me, I have had tons dumped on my plate.

 

Until next time lovers!

Fellow PNNers, I have added video evidence of my engagment that I recorded using my new camera. I didnt catch the actual proposal itself but i have the before and after. Mind you, I am in a state of shock at the time of filming, and I know I am being awkward and he is too. I think thats what makes it sweet.

 

I have spent the day at work doing actually no work, and instead i am looking at all things wedding. I signed up for this website which is free and seems easy and helpful, called Weddingwire.com and they have everything that keeps track of budget, vendors, food, guests. If only it could keep tabs on my insane chinese mother-in-law, Im still looking for that website. 

Today, my ring is the only thing that has kept me sane, its been one of those days in the office, where EVERYONE has a meltdown for different reasons but it all happens in the painfully same day. UGH. Im not a meltdown kind of girl, if anything I might be a little too easy going.

Well Im signing off for the evening, goodnight, and you stay classy San Diego
