my big fat wedding

So i have been trying for a week to write about my wedding! I finally have some down time so here it goes!
Thursday night me and my girls went out and got our nails done. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing. Friday everyone went over my parents house and my dad made waaay too much food! it seems as though everyone had a pretty good time. Eric spilled his beer all over miss daisy, so she stinks and is sticky! lol. Then after everyone left me and ian and my cousins said behind and played mario party for a few hrs. We had a good time. I then ran around doing a ton of shit with my mom untill like 10pm. I went to bed at 1130 (way later than i would have LIKED to go). but i fell right asleep. The alarm went off at sometime around 530 i think. i ate some toast and said good bye to daniel. i picked up my mom and nicole and we went and got our hair done. By this time im neither excited or nervous. Just tired! lol (go figure im the one that stayed home and I was tired). I got back to my moms house @ like 815 and started to do my makeup. at like 825 the door bell rings! it was the photog! a HALF HOUR early! im not even DRESSED! neither is my mom or nicole. And my dad and ian have been working on it. lol. So we rush to get my makeup on and then we go to get the dress on. That wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. it only took like 10 mins to lace me up and get my shoes on. Everything from there is a blur. The rest of the girls at this point got to my moms house and we all had some pix. Then we got in the limo and got to benjamins a little early. We sat in the limo and waited until most people were inside. We got up stairs and im just itching to get going. everyone keeps saying how pretty i look and damn i did feel pretty! Every last detail was perfect. Im waiting up at the top of the stairs and my dad is freeking out a bit sipping water and acting strange. The coordinator gives me a tissue, that i told her i wouldnt need. lol. (really im such a boy). I walk down the isle and the first thing i see is dan bawling, which made me start to cry. (thanks). Then my dad wispered in my ear that he loves me and hes very proud of me. Made me cry harder. I ended up giving my tissue to dan, he looked like he needed it. The ceremony was nice and once i got the cry out and looked out into the crowd i was much more relaxed. We siad our vows, lit the unity candle and then it was over! we went out (on the hottest day of the yr- no lie) to go get pix. that was a lot of fun. and i can not wait to see those!!! we came back and found out there was minimal drama, but i will not get into that because damn it, its my day and NO ONE will taint these memories. =) Everyone had a great time. the food was awesome! and the portions were huge. the cake was the BEST cake i have ever had. Dans moms family welcomed me to the family and told me how much they like me and how nice dan is (duh) =0). We danced our first dance then i danced with my dad, which made me cry. dan danced with his gramma, which i honestly didnt see cuz i was talking to my mom and aunt (oppps!) i went around and saw people and all of the wedding party and our friends had a GREAT time dancing. I danced with ian which was funny cuz we were acting stupid. Dan looked so cute all dressed up and it was nice to see people. Then towards the end of the day, my dj announces that my dad has a surprise for me! HE SANG! haha. it was so sweet I cried AGAIN. (so much for NOT needing the tissue). then dans family left, and we did our last dance and everyone circled around us. The day went by SO fast!! and it was so perfect. i look back and i have to smile, i never realized how many people cared about us and were happy for us. We got home and the first thing we did was open gifts! we did really well! Then we took off for The cape. The cape was perfect. it was nice and warm and sunny all weekend and dan and i laughed a ton. It was so perfect just to hang out with him and laugh and be silly. We went to the beach, Shopped, and ate at villagio. Then we went out for drinks @ british beer company. We also on our last day, drove up to the light house and that was nice too.
Over all my wedding was perfect, my parents really care alot about us and I'm very lucky to have dan. I can't believe Its all over! But it was perfect and i couldnt have asked for anything more.

vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!

so today is my last day at work before im on vacation. dan has already started his, so i am jealous. but im all done with my work, so im just wasting time until 5 (ish) when im going to leave. Dan and i are going on a nice little date tonight, for dinner and a movie. =0) aww! hehe. i can not believe its already here! its been the craziest year of my life! seems like yesterday i was planning my imaginary elopement and wondering wtf was wrong with dan! lol and now not only am i engaged, im getting married in FOUR DAYS!! how exciting! Everything seems to be going pretty well too, its just kind of waiting and seeing from this point and im not letting anyone (or their babies) bring me down. i will simply tell them to fuck them selfs!! lol=0)
I was so surprized when we were going down our list of things that i found out dan had already gotten my wedding gift!! i wonder when he got it?? and not only that, DAN DID SOMETHING EARLY!? lol. that HAS to be a first!
I went to costco today and got my parents a $100 Gift card. I figured we should just get them something they'll actually use, and since they spent so much money, its the least we can do. Wha a pain in the ass though it was to get one. they dont sell them at the service desk, so i had t wait in line. and of course everyones buying 2 million things. im like i want a fucking gift card!!! lol. but oh well! =0)
My weekend was really good. i got my hair and makeup done and that was fun being pampered. I cant wait to get my nails done and for sunday, cuz i am NOT graceful with my hands so i have 2 nails that are about to break, but i painted them with strengthener.
anyways.. im off to kill the last 90 mins!

its freeking friday baby!
Its been a long day. i should be working ahead for my vacation, but i really do not feel like it.
Bindi is of course feeling better since we called the docs. we went running with her last night and she was full of energy this morning.
As i was leaving this morning my neighbors were all out talking in their PJs. i felt very uncofortable being not only the only one in CLOTHES but the only one going to WORK! haha. my whole neighborhood is retired. The ppl across the street are like my parents age, but they dont work. so that leaves me and dan as the weirdos who leave the house at 8 every day and dont return untill 5!
We REALLY air some shitty Tv shows on this DAMN channel! im so sick of court shows and motel williams!
anyways! Totally happy that this day is almost over! =)

so last night we went to try the dresses on. apparently the bitch before us has SEVEN flower girls. so the place was a little crazy when we got there. needless to say they werent ready for us. i tried my dress on. it wasnt pressed yet, but i thought it looked beautiful. my mom and aunt however thought it looked like it was messed up. which they didnt mention till we were HOME. and they messed up on one of the brides maids dresses (which wasnt even ready till SIX THIRTY our apt was @ 5! so my mom stressed out all night and blah blah blah she came up here @ 1030 and we went.. NEEDLESS to say it was all in my moms head and the dress is PERFECT and i think she felt a little stupid after cuz then she was being all nice on he way back here. So we're picking it up pressed, and ready to go 1pm on Monday! That was my drama today. i feel like every day i have more and more drama. ugh.
The pup still is being strange, after reading im positive that its teething. we called the vets (well dan did) and they said theyre not sure and to bring her in tomorrow for her shots and they'll take a look @ her (she was supposed to go saturday so yey! one less thing for me to cram in this weekend!! and of course now dans hanging with her and she seems to be feeling a little better. =) lol. oh well, she needs to get her shots anyways.
i got so much work done today it was nuts! i want to make sure i can get as much done as possible before vacation. which is like 3 days away! whoop! nothing else has been going on. im on the search for white city shorts, u bet ur ass i cant find them!

I'm totally having one of those days. You know, the ones where nothing can possible go right!? First this monring i got up and its dans day off. so i took he puppy and put her on her little bathroom pad so she would go to the bathroom ( i didnt want to take her outside in my pj lol) but she decided shed rather follow me around. i went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and see pee's on the floor right away. GREAT! so whatever. i clean it and feed her and give her an ice cube for her poor mouth. I get all ready and sit down for my cereal and my mom calls me to make sure i don't forget my shoes and bra for the fitting tonight. i told her i know and i shut my cell to get off with her. Somehow my cell decided it wanted some of my cherios and leapt from my hands landing in my cereal! I watch in horror as this plays out in slow motion!! I quickly grabbed my phone and shook it dry and grabbed a clorox wipe since its covered in milk. i run into the bedroom and wake dan up and ask him if its broken (since he worked for verizon for so long). he said it just needs to dry and i need to leave it alone and take the battery out. So i freeked out a little bit cuz i was sure the phone was broken. i drove to work and threw it next to my heater till noon. it seems to be working fine, (but i just checked it and it randomly turned off? ugh. lol. guess its going back by the heater for a few more hrs! At least at this point its usable! so whatever.. i read online it takes a couple days to be normal again.. im just so agitated with my self for being so damn klutzy!
Tonight i have my final fitting! hopefully everything will go well and everyone will make it up here.
Last night we met with the Dj. it went well. he loved the songs and everything seems in place.
Bindi seems to be doing ok. shes not 100% but its absolutly her mouth cuz i tried looking in and she was none to happy. but shes still herself so thats always a plus.

You're my Everything.....

well yesterday we decided on our song. We're gonna go with michael Buble. So yey! lol. We also started on our story scrap book. it was fun too look through and have memories. dan had a big box full of stuff that we've done. it was funny to see the movies and concerts and cards and letters we wrote each other. funny how many accumulate over 6 and half years. Dan got his Fenway paint last night. they have every color in fenway available. i just hope we dont end up with a room that ends up pesky pole yellow!! =)
Bindi has been sick since sunday morning. i think her mouth is bothering her. hopefully she'll snap out of it before the weekend.
im so freekign hungry right now. im trying to wait to eat, cuz we have crap to do after wirk so no dinner for a while. Blah.

i hate mondays

So Friday night was a lot of fun. Nicole and i went to providence and had some dinner and then went to the comedy connection. it was really fun. then we were gonna go out and bar hop with the boys but no one could think of anywhere to go so we went back to the condo had one drink and dan and i headed home cuz we were really tired. we went home and pretty much just passed out on the couch cuz we wanted to sleep cuz it was 2am and dan had to work in the morning and There was NO way bindi would have slept in bed since she most likely had been sleeping since 630 when i put her in her crate. Saturday i ran around all morning with my mom paying off things for the wedding and then dans nana and aunt came to c the house. they seemed to like it so that was nice. Then sat night netflix apparently forgot about us so we had no movie to watch. we went to the packie and got some Smirnoff raw ice tea. Holy shit that is my new favorite bitch drink. you can not even taste the alcohol in it. Sunday i painted the front door red since the new one was white and didnt really match anything. And my dad and i hung the new light in the dinning room, which BY The way is HOTT! lol. its red and it hangs down and it was on sale for 99 bucks normally 201! =)
This morning we applied for our marriage license. so now its all official :) whooo! lol. Tonight we're gonna go get the paint for the fenway room and wed dans gonna start to paint it.
So that was my weekend, now its almost 1230 on monday, im exhausted and im heading to halmark to get some Thank you notes for the wedding party and my parents and to get my scrap book that ive been wanting for a while.

7 work days 3 hrs

Is how long i have left to vacation, which right now i feel like i need more than anything. After posting yesterdays blog i made up a written list of things to do. its like over 25 items long! (an like none have been done). We were gonna start doing some shopping things this weekend but then we realized it was tax free weekend, which means store will be crazy crowded. Its ok though. i think we might just go get our light tomorrow and hang it and maybe i'll start some painting this weekend. who knows. it all depends.
Tonight Nicole is taking me out, im really not sure what we'll be doing. All i know is that i had planned on a really cute outfit, and tonights LOW is going to be FIFTY! UGH. so i dunno i may just keep on what i have. or wear what i planned and freeze my tiny white ass off!
Today has been SLIGHTLY long. its raining, its cold, and its been semi busy. Which is actually ok cuz its been so slow. But its just been little problems here and there.
Anyways. its 2:30. I have 3 hrs left in the day. and then its off to sit in rainy friday cape traffic then out with nicole.
i already feel like i need a nap!!

last night we watched the break up. it was a pretty good movie. nice to have a movie where someone wasn't blowing up (Daniel) lol. But yea. that was about the extent of my night.
I just realized that we have so much to do in so little time. we have a room to clean and paint, a door to paint, a WHOLE house to clean. we have to weed the flowers and like a zillion appointments. we also have yet to get my parents a present and we havent gotten our marriage license either. i have to go to the bank and transfer money cuz now all these things are due! i also need an outfit to leave in. as does dan i think. note to dan if ur reading. find something to wear. On top of this we still have to pack and find things to do down the cape! i can not believe how fast this is coming. i guess this is my punishment for waiting till last min. For the next two weeks im doing NOTHING but wedding stuff. no one better stop me! cuz it has to get done! i think tonight we are gonna go to Home depot and get a new light (to replace the one that almost killed dan) and maybe while we're there we should get some paint for the office. i feel like my Brain is going a mile a min (cuz it is). i think im gonna make a list of things to do before the 25th and check things off, just so i feel a sence of accomplishment (tho usually these list just keep growing! haha).
Anyways, theres really nothing else going on. wedding has officially taken over my life. all this work for a few hrs of ppl you barley know to gawk at you seems a bit excessive!

This morning i came in and in my inbox was our proofs for the beach pictures! they came out so nice! i love them all! and you can hardly tell it was a crappy day out! there were so many we liked it was really hard to chose just one.
Today im feeling a lot better. the thing that was bothering me i have been assured wont happen. so i guess things will be ok. (we'll find out tho). Dan bought me the most beautiful sunflowers yesterday. i love them! (and him lol).
Friday i'm going out with Nicole for our little like before the wedding outting. We're heading to the great state of RI for the night. should be interesting since it will just be the 2 of us! haha. =0)
Saturday dan's moms family is stopping by with something for us.. i wonder what it is.. im very intrigued!
I cant belive how quick the wedding is coming up! its rather scarey! in one week i have my final fitting for my gown! this has been the fastest year ever. Everyone says to enjoy the engagement cuz it goes quick, and it sure did! i think we had a nice engagement. and im sure the wedding will be great too! I'm trying my best to ignore everyone and enjoy OUR day and not let everyone else drag me down ;)

children

i just read the funniest blog posting on Best week ever. It was about kids and movies and crying. haha. Glad to know im not the only one who thinks kids should be banned from public. Seriously, when i go out i dont want to be bothered by someone else's jerk hole kid.
Anyways, im feeling pretty blah today. i dunno why just feel depressed. Theres a bunch of things bothering me, but it no big deal. I just hate feeling so sad, especially with 17 days left to my wedding, but the fact of the matter is i cant help the way i feel. If i could crawl in bed and sleep for 3 weeks, right now i would. blah.
On a brighter note, we had our beach pix yesterday. It was really nice and we had a lot of fun. i can not wait to see how they came out. And thankfully the weather held out and we were able to get some great shots. And it really made me excited for our beach get away after the wedding. hopefully by then i will have shaken this feeling...

weekend

so this weekend was really good. Friday dan made an AWESOME dinner. It was so good. Chicken and pesto and zitti's and i made home home make garlic toast! all very yum! We picked out all of our songs except for "our song" lol. we're a little stuck. who knew it would b so hard! we have it narrowed down to 4 songs, 311 "love song", Michael Buble "everything", Incubus "dig", and Aerosmith "i don't wanna miss a thing".. who knows what we will pick, its all pretty up in the air right now. But yea, we spent a good few hrs listening to and reading lyrics and all that jazz. We now need to meet with the Dj one last time to iron out the ceremony with times and stuff! i looked at my planner and i can NOT belive that next wednesday is my final fitting!!
So yea, Then Saturday we went to the canal for a picnic, but of course it wouldnt be us if everything went smoothly. We layed out the blanket and started pulling out the snacks and waters and stuff and then we were like 'where are the sandwiches'?? haha. we both thought the other had them.. opps! it was still nice tho. we walked like 5 miles and watched the boats. The Pan-Mass Challenge was also going by while we were there so that was cool to c.
Yesterday i laid in the sun and did laundry. It was a great day out and i worked on getting rid of my hideous tan lines on my chest. (now they are burned lol) . Then i came home and made calzones, and they were actually REALLY good! i was so proud of myself! =) Then we watched Deja vu. The movie was pretty good. a little strange to follow, but it was still good.
Today the weather is shit of course, since dan and i have our Pictures tonight on the beach. Its like all cloudy and scattered storms. But i just called the photographer and he said we're still on!! so hopefully it will still go on cuz im leaving here @ 3 for these stupid things! I hope we take some good pics! i always hate the way i look. either im making so face, or im shinny or my forehead looks too big or i look like a cow. i rarly say 'i look nice in that pic' because im so critical of myself. Hopefully bob can make me look nice!! hahah!
Anyways, back to work i go. =)

happy friday to me!

Well, its friday. The week actually wasnt too long. I've been sitting here for an hour reading about makeup. Last night i spent 20 bucks on some new mineral makeup cuz my skin has been shit lately. i figured maybe it was all the stress, cuz its been a recent thing to happen. Though i havent been like OVER stressed until real lately. So i thought it was proactive so i kicked that to the curb. You should see the combination of expensive shit i put on my face and im STILL breaking out. I found that physicians formula is for acne prone skin, which apparently i now have. so i bought it last night and my face is a super grease ball. So i went on a hunt (after i wrote them a letter) to find out WHY! well i guess i need the powder to go with it.. so i'll try that out.. but in my travels over the internet, i found out that revlon (about 9 months ago) changed their formula of the foundation i have been using and a lot of people have had the same problems i have been having!!! So i think I will stick with the mineral makeup. No more chemicals on my face! and we'll c how it goes.. Right now i have a big cyst like zit on my side of my nose, but im also about to start my period, so thats usually the only time i ever get a zit (before the breakouts). so im hoping by monday i will have some clear assed skin! In other beauty news i bought some white strips last night. i will prob start them tomorrow or sunday and then i will have clear assed skin and pretty teeth! lol.
Work is incredible dead today. No one is answering my calls or emails from agencies (hello preempting everything! haha) and no one is around in the sales department.
I just can not wait for the weekend. I really wish we were rich and could just chill all day. =) anyways. i should get back to wasting my day!
ps: i found white flip flops! HORRAY

why is it when ever i'm looking for the SIMPLEST thing it turns into a scavenger hunt?! ALL I WANT is WHITE flip-flops. not orange, not pink, not polka dots, WHITE. why doesn't anyone have white?? this always happens.. whenever im looking for boots, theres flip flops out whenever im looking for flip flops, theres boots. and ps the boots this yr.... UGLY. and what is with the colored jeans?! im sorry is it 1990 again?? red jeans are not cute on anyone i dont care who u are! :(
and to top things off today, im super tired. i woke up @ 4 to p and that of course woke miss bindi up. i was so agitated with her I got up and slept on the couch. -note to self: no more water before bed-... going out in the heat tho did seem to wake me up a bit. i just wish i was home.. that would def make me feel better!! haha
So this morning i was listening to mix 98.5 which i never listen to and freekin MMMBOP came on! i blasted that sh*t and sang! lol (with my window down). Ahh to be 1997 again!
Today i have had zero motivation at work. Ive been kinda working on 1 thing for 2 hrs now! (tho i did stop to go shopping).
So i guess i should go back to doing that and then enjoy the lovly slow day till 530 because my co-worker thinks i have no life cuz i have no kid. sorry, but i like getting home before 7 too. thats really the only thing i hate about this job, the commute. i would love to live closer so when i get home my whole nights no gone. its not so bad in the winter but the summer its lame. oh well, if thats the worst then i guess its not that bad. :)

so work has been insanely slow. i forgot how quiet summers are around here! its a good thing tho, i can get a lot of celeb gossip, angry letters, and dreaming done!! haha
Last night we had dinner with Dans Gramma. Its funny how different 2 families are when it comes to wedding etiquette. Oh well, i decided last night im not worrying anymore =)
Today someone was talking about Disney on TV. I decided that i want to go to disney!! so i was looking up packages. I think we'll prob end up going in may. I want to stay @ Animal Kingdom Lodge. A 4 day package with park-hopper pass is like 2300. which really isnt too bad.
Its official August, meaning the summer is almost over =( that makes me sad. i think August is my least favorite month. I'm really in need of a vacation, its not that im overworked, i just havent had one all year!! haha. soon enuff tho. August 22-29 i will be on vacation. so i guess i can wait 3 more weeks!
Ever since we got our new front door put in the doorbell has been all messed up. it just randomly rings on its own and makes a humming noise. It started acting up yesterday when we got home the screen door slammed and made the door bell ring, i slammed it again and it stopped. Of course this morning it had to go off randomly @ 650! lol. it woke the dog up but she stayed in bed till the alarm, so i was happy! Its nice that shes let us sleep for the past few days. Shes actually getting a lot better. shes a brat sometimes, but shes just a baby so i cant get mad @ her!!
