Bridal Brains

So, we've all heard of "pregnancy brains" but I am coining the term "bridal brains".  The wedding planning so far has been easy, thanks to our decision to have a destination wedding!  This is probably the best decision I've made to do with this wedding, other than picking the wonderful man I'm going to marry!  However, I am becoming increasingly scatter-brained lately!  This has to be due to all of the wedding details that have been added to my plate.  Wedding planning is definitely fun, don't get me wrong!, but there are quite a few decisions to be made!  (and many many people to disappoint and frankly piss off along the way since everyone has an opinion)  If I don't make lists, lists of lists, notes on any paper-like substance I can find, memos in my blackberry and appointments on my blackberry calendar, I will not remember any of it!  I forget the smallest, and largest, things on an hourly basis. This has all began to sink in when I walk into my kitchen and find myself staring off into space thinking "Now, why did I come in here again?"  That's just crazy, or senile!  Oh well, I will keep making my lists, memos, appointments and just hope I remember everything before it's too late! ...And cross my fingers that this is only temporary!

P90X

Okay, so the fiance and I began P90X last night!  After many months of speculation, we finally ordered it and picked a good time to begin the program!  I am trying to look at this as a Bridal Bootcamp so I'm going along with it and last night really wasn't as bad as I anticipated!  Actually, the worst part was taking the before pictures :(  But, he promised that no one else would see those.  Typical, a man behind a camera saying "Baby, I promise, nobody else will see this"!  Ha!  Anyways, I will keep you posted on the progress and please keep your fingers crossed that I will stick with it and make it out alive!  ~S~

Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July!  I'm thinking today is as good a day as any to start a blog.  I'm visiting my family in Bossier City, LA and after a huge Southern lunch full of black eyed peas, new potatoes, brisket, fried cornbread, etc., it is as quiet as a mouse around here!  All of the produce was locally grown either in the backyard or picked up from the Farmer's Market in Shreveport that we visited yesterday.  I am a sucker for a Farmer's Market and this one was very impressive!  There were 105 vendors with everything from Ruston Peaches, to fresh chickens, to quail eggs!
