Life

I have an interview tomorrow at Macy's. I really hope it goes well. I think I could really improve some of the store layout and marketing-related stuff. As you can see, some of the succulents from my bridal bouquet are blooming! They are still sitting in a wet paper towel growing roots.

And our bedroom finally looks nice! We got rid of the box and got an actual night stand! I also found perfectly matching pillows, lamp, and jewelry box at TJ Maxx! The mirrors also came from there. Yes, I'm addicted. It's nice to finally have a nice room to relax in. I'm very happy with it. Now we just have to get the living room figured out! The bathroom is almost there..

Rite Aid had $2.50 potted herbs. I snapped up a Tuscan Rosemary and French Lavender plants. Excited. I think my nail polish is dry, so I should probably shower and set out my interview outfit. Keep your fingers crossed!

bah hormones!

I was on the pill for about... 6? years? It was to regulate things and keep me from bleeding heavily for two weeks straight every other week. Apparently being underweight can make your body do weird things. Anyways, I'm a healthy weight now, so I'm stopping the pill (hopefully for good). So needless-to-say, I'm all hormone-y. Is that a word? Guess not. Oh well. I would have gone off of it way sooner, but didn't want to risk blood stains on my wedding gown, if you know what I mean. I should probably google what to expect when stopping it after 6 years. And I should go to sleep.

Wrangling things into place

Since getting back, we've been spending all our time organizing and cleaning. I think we finally got most of the stuff away. We still need organizing baskets and furniture, right now we are just using banker boxes. I also finally broke down and bought us a vacuum. The apartment effectively has not been vacuumed since before we moved in. GROSS. We know that at least two people bought us a vacuum for a gift, so we will see which one we end up keeping.
We also got a bird bath to use as a feeder. So now I'm just waiting for the birds to find it! Maybe I'll find some fake bird figurines to put on the rail of the balcony to lure them in.
Abby is VERY GLAD to be home. I think she missed the privacy and quiet which doesn't come with a house with a small child. Good thing our friends had a large house for her to hide.
The sewing machine from the registry is here! now I just need a table, chair, thread, etc.. But I'm excited to get going.
I'm also in-progress of getting thank-you notes done. It's definitely not my favorite thing.
I miss the sun. It's been all gloomy since we got back. I guess the "April showers" applies here. But at least the farmer's market opens soon! Yay fresh produce! :D

MAWWIED!!!!

I'm a Mrs. *scrunched-nose-face.* We'll just say Ms.... Mrs. sounds so old. Like Señora. I wanna keep the young-sounding Señorita! Anyways. Wedding went well. I didn't cry (barely). The CLEMSON TIGER showed up as a surprise, we had the best wedding cake EVER, and had a purple and orange peeps s'mores bar. More details to come when I get photos back. For now, I'm just happy it's over and am excited to get back to WA to see my cat. Oh, and I'm kinda forcing Lance to let me get a kitten (as his wedding gift to me). :D yay!!!! The whole thing was a whirlwind, but it was awesome. Now as for the whole thank-you note writing... not so awesome. I'm not the most organized thank-you note writer.. maybe on the plane(s) tomorrow. ;)

TWO DAYS

We are TWO DAYS away. Holy crap! We are still getting the "little things" done and I'm trying to relax and stay zen. Yesterday I had a derm appointment and my blood pressure was 137/89. Yeah, I'd say I'm a little stressed, wouldn't you?? We also have to pack ALL the things because we are leaving from Columbia and not coming home before that. Then I get to start thank-you notes. yay? On a side note, did you know that a Z-pack can act as an antibiotic for acne?
And my new-found allergy to wheat, milk, and eggs will be interesting. i need to stay away from all 3 to make sure I don't swell and gain 3 dress sizes. But cake is so good!

HOLY CRAP

HOLY CRAP IN A WEEK I'LL BE MARRIED OMGZZZ ALL CAPS !!!!1!1!!!!ONEONE!!!!

I also got my eyebrows AND upper lip threaded. Don't. ever. get. your. upper. lip. threaded. OMG. It made my eyes water worse than when I got my nose pierced. And I was like hard core tensed up with my legs crossed 7 billion times. It hurt. And it made me bleed. :'(
But hey, my eyebrows look nice. first time I've ever had them professionally did. woo!
