My Simple Life?

I will admit it, I don’t spell check. I would if every time I blogged or emailed it came up with those nifty red and green lines under misspelled or misused text, but it doesn’t…so i don’t. It kills my mom. She mentions it rarely, but I am sure it torments her regularly. Don’t get me wrong, I proof read. This is semi effective, but spelling has never been my forte. Regardless, I did not properly proof read/ spell check an email I sent earlier this week to our caterer. I mean, I thought I had, but as I clicked the send button I noticed a grave error. I laughed. That is all I could do. Sure I wanted to crawl under a rock. I wished for the instant invention of an “unsend” button. In the end I was completely helpless. I laughed a lot. Dave was annoyed, nothing he could do. Of course HE would have properly reviewed said email prior to sending it.

Luckily, we received a response email with no mention of my horrible oversight. We are not even sure if Boobie Bobbie noticed.

So upon reflecting on some recent posts, I have realized that I need to chill. The wedding is just over 3 months away and I am dangerously close to becoming a bridezilla. Yeah, no thanks. Life is too short. So I am going to relax, sit back and let this all fall into place. I don’t want to be stressed. I can not wait for our wedding. It is going to be amazing and in the grand scheme of life 5 extra guests at our wedding is no big deal. I am much more concerned with the chemistry at the “drunk friend” table. That requires a delicate balance.

Maybe using the word meaningless in my last post was crossing a line.

BLAH! Who gets to bring a date? Who doesn’t? This sucks. I hate having to put a price on everyone, but we are. Seriously, don’t be offended, but if you aren’t married, engaged or living in sin - no dice. We simply can’t afford meaningless people. That may be harsh, but it is necessary. Just trying to make sure that we are not still paying for this wedding on our 10th anniversary.

I had a great weekend, but I am exhausted. I do not envy the girls who drove back home after the first annual girls weekend. But it was so nice to be together. I wish our lives brought us all together more often, but I guess that is what happens when you grow up. Not many people can say they are still close with their friends from high school. We are lucky.

On the way home from the airport we bought a wii. Seems while I was in Maryland someone else was here spending his ENTIRE day playing wii. Addicted. So now we are the proud owners of a fantastic game system and I am the proud owner of a sore bicep from wii batting practice. It was worth it. I won.

In Baltimore this weekend, that is where. A much needed weekend with the people who have been my first best friends since it was cool to have first best friends. I love these girls and we catch up individually whenever we can, but it is rare that we are ever all together. I can not wait. I am going with no plans. It doesn’t matter what we do it never has. Being together has always been comfortable and tonso fun. You have no idea what we have been through together. It doesn’t matter. What matter is that we have made it through everything together. Sappy and cheesy I know… but I have needed this weekend for a long time. 

Now we are looking at domestic destinations. Don’t feel bad for us or anything. I have always dreamed of visiting all 50 states. And since I have only been to 15 (That is awful! I have lived in 6 of those states.)so far, a honeymoon within the confines of the US will be fun.

We know people who went to Vegas. Some of my friends have done the Disney thing or other Florida destinations. A couple people we know honeymooned in Maine. I have been to Maine and Florida and neither Dave nor I are very intrigued by Vegas. We are open to suggestions.
 
We are thinking New Orleans. The only problem is finding a hotel. We are getting married the weekend after Mardi Gras. We just can’t think of any place we would like to visit more than New Orleans and we may get in a day or two with Habitat for Humanity, so that alone would be worth it. We’ll see. If you can think of something better, let us know.
