Valentines

So, M has used up his romance quota over the last 6 months. Valentines Day was once on the radar but now seems to think its funny that people bother with it. SIGH. Anyway lucky for me I have a really good working and social relationship with my workmates. One in particular I call my work husband. SHE is a great friend and being the 'husband' she bought me a valentines gift during her lunch break complete with a romantic note. I will get to see M today but I'll settle for a hug and a kiss.

Thanks Jazz. Hopefully you cant  read what it says because it is quite immature lol but funny

New Start

So, Yesterday Michelle Bridges posted on Facebook a comment along the lines of just because the transformation starts on Monday doesn't mean you can go crazy. Too bad I read that after eating fish and chips. Oh well. We also had home made burgers for dinner so bad all together. I need  to see this face below in my head every time I go to pick at something that I shouldn't be eating

My photo. And without the pricetag on her face

Between the bad eating M was watching a movie and I decided to try and get organised. So I wrote a to do list for the wedding. There is something satisfying about handwriting things. In my world, between work and home I dont write a whole lot at all. I did manage to tick off a few things This list will go on the fridge. 

The rest of today will be dedicated to get M out of bed. Then I need to go shopping for lots of Michelle Bridges 12WBT goodies. I'm glad that my goal for this round isn't as high as it was for the last round. I'm just looking for some definition. If I feel brave enough I will possibly post my before pictures.... We'll see. Stay tuned

ETSY

So, I lost my ETSY virginity the other day. After many many months of scouring the page and simply typing wedding into the search bar, I have made a purchase. I bought my garter.

I was so excited! I told my maid of honour, L about it and she was disappointed as she was going to buy it. This was followed by another comment saying that your bridesmaids are supposed to buy that for you. I have never been in a bridal party above a flower girl position so this convention never even occurred to me. oh well. its done now.

On other peoples wedding news, I received two hens invites. One for Mid march (wedding end of March) and the other  for the end of June (wedding early August). This organisation concerns me. The only talk of my hens is the fact that I have to be repaid for the penis straws I bought for one of my bridesmaids hens. Not sure if the thought has gone beyond that. I really don't want it to have to come to the stage that I have to organise my own. I'm worrying about a lot of nothing especially since the wedding is over 9 months away. But if you have read my blog, you would know a) I start my sentences with but and 2) I worry about things unnecessarily.

Sleep

So, I didn't think I would be one of those brides who lost sleep over things. I cant remember the last time I did.  This wedding thing is stressing me out. Its not like I am losing major sleep. However when I cant get to sleep  until after midnight some nights and when I have to get up around 6:30, it makes for one cranky me. I am not even stressing about big things. I booked my pre wedding accommodation the other night and I couldn't get to sleep until after midnight because I was worried about the amount of room at the hotel. SIGH!

I need to not sweat about the little things.

What is an issue that has made you lose sleep?

New Features

So, yesterday I mentioned that I found a new feature on my phone. Panorama. I've had the phone for over a year now and it took that long to figure it out. 

Here are some pretty photos. Not the best stitching together but its a camera phone.

That's all for today. All this wedding thought and talk has made me sleeping near impossible before midnight. I am not a happy camper when I don't get enough sleep. 8 hours and I'm sweet. Any thing less than that makes for a grumpy me at work.

The weekend.

So, all week I was absolutely dying for the weekend and now it is almost over :(
However it was a really really good one so I forgive it for leaving so quickly. Yesterday I went to a bridal show at the Sydney Entertainment centre. SO much prettiness and SO much potential. I did go there with some deliberate information seeking. We need cars and I need to book hair and make-up. This year the show was so much larger than last year. It went forever! We were there for 2.5 hours. My bounty is featured below. I entered every competition, gave my wedding email to everyone that I was interested in and from tomorrow I am looking forward to checking my email for all the quotes :D

Brochure Galore

 M and I went to one of his grooms men's place and spent the night chatting which was really nice.

Today we had breakfast at about 11:30 so it was really a lazy day. And a hot one. For Sydney anyway.
I discovered that my phone has a panorama feature on it. I took some pretty cool photos at the beach this afternoon. M and I tried to run. lol tried is the word. Anyway I took this and obviously there was something wrong because the building in the middle is not usually mimicking the leaning tower of Pisa.

12WBT Pre season

So, I have signed up for another round of  Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation. I am not overweight but for this program you don't have to be.

I am starting the pre-season tasks a little bit late as I was umming and ahhing about doing it. However, I had Mc Donalds for dinner tonight........ AND I ordered my wedding dress tonight. So, my main goal is to not have back fat when I get strapped into it. Along with the tuck shop lady arms. 

So, My commitment to it is to maintain clean eating, attend the gym as many times as reasonable and keep going.  I'll keep you updates
