Its been awhile folks! Whew, what have I been up to?! You ever have those times where you feel so busy and then you think, what the heck have I accomplished?
Since I'm off to the personal trainer this morning, I'll be making a so handy list.

1. Personal trainer (PT) is going well so far, just have to meet someone 2 mornings a week, who keeps up on my cardio schedule & eating, is a good thing. No weight loss so far - but I've been working hard so cross your fingers.

2. PT suggested I do a low-fat diet, well in the world of carbs/South Beach & counting calories, I hadn't been looking at the fat on the nutrition label! Call me an idiot, but its so much easier (and we've been eating bread, pasta and rice - dear lord!) of all things...I've been so used to looking at carbs, that I forgot about the fat! It seems to be a good thing, as Martha would say. Geez. Anyhoo, enough of the diet.

3. When is J.Crew going to have their monthly sale??I've got a few things in my shopping bag, but I just KNOW when I decided to click purchase, they will go on sale. Usually they have something by now!

3. Picked up a couple things from Anthropologie and Patagonia. I'll post later. We also stopped at some outlets last weekend (including a Pottery Barn outlet, sahweet) and got an adorable cropped, lightweight jacket and some neutral, cream wedges for $20.00 from the Banana Republic outlet!

4. We stopped at the outlet as a reward for spending our weekend at an Engaged Encounter, for all you Catholics out there who are getting married, you probably know what this is. I believe it is a good thing (although, FI & I are open about everything and there wasn't anything that we really didn't know about each other, soo..) BUT for 2 days of camp like experience of writing journals - we were ready to get back.

5. Speaking of marriage, We went ahead and the made the decision to move my stuff to FI's new apt (becoming ours after we get married). There are a lot of people who disagree with this (ahem our parents & family being the main culprits). But really, I have a roommate who annoys me (turns off the AC in the middle of the night, in South Carolina, when we are on the third floor, directly in the suns path...don't get me started), without consideration for me, even after I tell her...anyway. I spend most of my time at FI's, its where we cook, watch tv, etc. We have the TIME now to do it (moving the week before the wedding, probably would have been a stressful induced effort!) and we want to! So I feel like I've been movvingg forever, but I think we will have a better summer for it. We've been in the process of merging styles - aka, FI coming to terms with my pink galore/shabby chic gear - but to be honest, I'm ready to move onto a different style, keeping my pink in some places. Oh, but to foresee the future, ( i love him death), he broke the shower when trying to replace a showerhead - we have had baths for the past 3 days. Hmmm.

6. I'm a creature of habit, and although I needed a break from school, I just don't feel like I can think straight unless I'm in my concrete schedule. (Boy, that makes me sound like a real ball o fun, eh?)

7. I'm just getting excited for the wedding - ready for it, I have lists upon smaller lists of things to do (and I would gladly turn those over now) because I'm just like a kid waiting for Christmas now.

8. As we are trying to plan our summer amidst showers, parties and visiting friends...we are making the trip to Cape Cod at the end of June for a week - are we crazy? Probably. Will we drive 18 hours each way? Probably. Will we love having some time to ourselves at the Cape? YES!

Thats it for now!
