My shower was a blast... I'm glad I went! Who doesn't love watching belly dancers? A good time was had by all. I took a nap as planned beforehand, and luckily I was so tired (and drained) that sleep aids were not required. I guess I should just toss all that leftover medication. It's expired, anyway. When I woke up from my nap, I did my own nails, straightened my hair as planned (it takes exactly one hour, I timed it!) and best of all, I was able to fit into my favorite jeans-- Woo hoo! No shopping was necessary. I even found some cute heeled boots in my closet that I bought three years ago and have never worn... So it was like shopping in my own closet.
It was wonderful being among family and friends for the evening. I felt loved! I started the evening with a yummy pomegranate martini, had my cards read, enjoyed the ambiance, ate a rich, high calorie meal, and opened fun presents (it was lingerie themed). It was all good.
Saturday night R and I had our tasting... That was fun. It was essentially a romantic dinner, which we haven't done for a long time. We have more clarity now as far as our reception menu. Our wedding is going to be so tiny, I'm thinking we should splurge and go with the $70 per person package... We've been talking about how if more people RSVP, we'll do a less expensive package, but it just isn't shaping up that way. In fact, earlier today our neighbor told me that he has to go into work that morning. It's sad getting the nays vs. the yays... But at least we can have a great party for the people who are able to come. It's looking like it will be a group of about 40.
This morning as R was gardening in the front yard, he got to chatting with our neighbor on the other side, and she told him that a surveyor was at the property across the street the other day. Apparently the new owners are a young couple who each already own a home. Their plan is to tear the house down. Bummer. We suspected a McMansion, now it seems it will be coming to fruition. Well, like I've said before, I just hope it's not a long, drawn out process! And I hope I'm able to sleep during the day while the work is going on. I guess it's time to try really hard to find a day shift job. Easier said than done... Maybe I shouldn't toss my sleep medication out just yet! I love architecture and the building process (having basically grown up in a construction zone) so actually, it could be very interesting. I'm intrigued that the couple is young... What does that mean exactly? Might they end up becoming friends? I hope so. We haven't seen them yet. So far, only a boat has moved in! It was trailered onto the driveway earlier today. A powerboat (AKA a "stinkpot"). Oh well, it could be worse.
The kites I ordered for the wedding arrived last week, and I immediately put them together. They are so cute (hearts with wings!). I ordered eight of them, as well as a giant heart parafoil kite for the two of us to fly. There may not be any wind on our wedding day, and I have no idea who might want to fly one (or if there will even be time!) but I'm excited about them anyway. So is R! As soon as the Olympic hockey game finishes up on TV, we're going to try to fly one around the neighborhood. Should be fun!
R told me a funny joke this morning: "What's the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts?" Answer: "Beer nuts are under a dollar, and deer nuts are under a buck." Hee hee.
