I Finally Got my BM!!!

... and by BM I mean my bridesmaid dress. My color is a dark purple, and it quite lovely. The other gals are in Spice and Fuchsia, the Spice is very nice, and the Fuchsia is...well just to much pink for my blood. I may be a girl, but I am still a tomboy-ish gal deep down. Pink frequents my closet, but only occasionally, and sometimes even then I don't always wear it.

In other news, I am going to be making a decision on which dress I will be wearing for my own wedding by the end of the month, whether I actually order it is another story. Trying to lose weight and buying an expensive dress that should only be taken in about 2 dress sizes is not very cohesive. Because these dresses if you don't have a corset tieback, which mine doesn't, does not retain its proper and pretty shape if you take it in too much. Although when I lost 25 lbs a number of months ago, I didn't drop a size at all, so we'll see. I just don't want to order a size smaller and hope that I will make it into it, because as much as I have strong willpower, I have issues dealing with eating, esp when I am the only one in the house trying to watch what I eat.

Moving right along, have my centerpieces, well part of them anyways. And I am taking it to one of the two florists I am meeting with to see what they can do and how they can incorporate it into everything nice and smoothly. More updates on that and everything later, now back to the regularly scheduled program... work.

Happy New Year!

We had started off with the notion we were going to stay home for New Year's Eve, and possibly hang out with Phil and Monica (and the Wii.) Then as last minute things go, we always stay home on new years so why don't we go out... so how about Tia Juana's...or how about Knott's Berry Farm...

at 8pm the winner was Knotts, and it came down to price...$39 vs $60 a person. So we haul tail up to Buena Park so we can eat dinner at TGI Fridays, since they are closing early... odd considering the park is open and it is practically on park grounds. Got the worst service in the history of restaurants, can we say burnt to a crisp...

Anyhoo, unlike Disneyland who reaches capacity at like 2pm on NYE, we strolled into Knotts at 950pm. Managed to get in a number of rides, the longest wait was for Silver Bullet and that was probably only 15 mins. Oh by the way it happened to be Praise 08, so that made things a bit interesting. We just steered clear of the concert stages, rode the rides. I do have to say that Xcelerator was great with the fireworks going off just in the distance. A great start to a new year, and sleeping until 11 the next morning didnt hurt either.

Hope everyone had a good start to their new year as well!
