Manic Monday

Hello there,

First of all, thank you so much for your sweet comments on our pictures. I truly appreciated all of you commenting - I mean you have all read about my planning and process - ya need to see the pics!

We had a nice and busy weekend. We hosted my in-laws and sister in law for a football game and tailgating. Lots of food, mimosas and Oreos were consumed. It was fun but like anytime guests come, you enjoy the quiet when they leave. We still don't have internet (curses!!) which is especially aggravating when I can't check my blogs, cough, I mean check emails from my students. Anyway, hopefully this is on the way to being fixed, since we have now switched companies.
We have another busy week ahead. I'm driving with the Mr. for a job interview about 4 hours away - It's going to be a long day and a long interview, so I want to be able to help him drive and check out the area. I think he is also going to be gone next weekend for an interview. I'm excited about moving, stressed about jobs, houses and moving away from our families. It is down to a several places and I'll be blogging when it comes down to the final decision. Of course, he had an interview with a company in a city with which we weren't familiar. And then after researching the area, potential jobs for me and potential houses - we became enamored with that place. And haven't heard from them since. Arggh. But, such is life and we will get thru!

We've also realized that December is going to be Hectic. With a capitol H. I have a thesis defense, graduation, at least 2 holiday/graduation parties, a wedding - oh yeah and packing/moving to an unknown destination! That being the case - I felt that a quality LBD was in order, instead of my previous post on the $30.00 LBD. I loved all your comments (and still am thinking about them as a fun purchase) but soon realized that I needed a quality piece I could use for the next 2 months. I'm looking at Banana Republic and their dress selection.

You ever have those days where you are in a Heinous (again, with a capitol H) mood and you let everyone know it. And your poor spouse/significant other takes the brunt. And you feel horribly guilty later that day when you stop and think about what a butt you've been. Ooh, I had one of those days Friday. I hate those days. But moving on...

I have a guilty pleasure obsession with QVC. That's right, QVC. For some reason, the utter cheesiness of the hosts and absolute randomness of the products always stops me when I roll through. Sometimes, they convince me that Diamonique is really a great buy and no one will ever know. Sometimes, the Mr. and I have an entire conversation about who in the hell buys this ____ item? If I ever become super wealthy, I'd probably just have a QVC card to buy the random stuff. Anyway, the channel never ceases to amaze and crack me up.

That's it for now. More later.
