One Month Down, 9 More to Go!!! ... well 8 1/2 really...

So it is now February and one whole month's worth of planning is out the window. Let's recap: So far I have gotten the reception place booked, decided on the church, hair/makeup stylist, florist, caterer and photographer. I've ordered my dress, veil, and shoes. I've picked out my main colors, menu, and the majority of my decoration ideas. I would say that the biggest decisions/choices are out of the way, but it's not exactly smooth sailing from here on out. There is still so much to do!!!
I'd like to take a minute to rant about one of my least favorite things-tanning in the winter!!! Am I the only one who thinks this is the absolute worst thing EVER??? I was just explaining my theories on this to my friend Lindsey yesterday. I think it is absolutely A-Sgusting to put slimy stinky lotion all over you to get into what feels like an ice coffin in the middle of winter! I'm not sure why it feels so different as opposed to the summer... because I don't mind it in the summer! Especially after the gym (my gym and tanning bed are right beside each other). I like going to the gym, working out, and then walking next door and taking a quick nap before I go home in the summer... but in the winter, I dread it almost as much as a doctor's visit!!! Gross!!!
If boys only knew what it took!

This weekend we are going to be celebrating Kyle's birthday and the Super Bowl. We're going to one of our friend's cabin, and we are going to stay through Sunday. Kyle and Jim (our friend who owns the cabin) had a genius idea of having a wine tasting weekend where everyone brings a wine that they like, or want to try, and we will all go around and try them. Don't get me wrong, I love a good glass of Riesling or something else that tastes more like juice than wine, but the more I think about this, the more it makes me feel funny. Almost like one of those rich snobby people who like to swirl their wine around in their glass like its going to actually do something magical and then talk about the fragrance and the taste of wine like it is a flower or fruit. You know the ones; they wear gay sweaters and tell jokes that no one gets, but everyone laughs anyway because they don't want to appear dumb. Then they take weird cheese (like Gouda) that is most likely rotten because it is so old and talk about how the flavor explodes when the wine and the cheese are combined together! (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit..) Good thing our friends are not like this!!! I'm sure we will have a great time, but I better pack one of those sweaters just in case! ;)
I'm hoping that it snows again this weekend. We were fortunate enough last weekend to be snowed in for almost 2 full days, and I'd love it if father Winter would grace us with his presence one more time before it starts to warm up. Maybe I'm the only one who loves snow days, but it gives you a great excuse to be lazy, drink hot chocolate, and catch up on all of your pre-recorded episodes of the shows you missed out on during the week!

Okay, so I'm running out of random thoughts for the day... later gator!
