the weekend.

monday holidays are the absolute best.

friend, jess, came on friday and stayed through last night. she is a MIRACLE WORKER.
that girl worked her fingers to the bone to make my wedding dress look unbelievable. I'd share some pictures, but the dress is under lock and key until the wedding day so TH doesn't see. But she snip snip snipped and sew sew sewed, and I'm ecstatic. This is why I love my talented friends - they can see your vision and make it happen!

friend, leslie, designed some wedding invitation graphics and sent them my way yesterday. TH and i just stared and stared at them. so so perfect and lovely! i designed the layout, text, and font over the weekend, so they are just about ready to go. hope they are, because we are printing this weekend with our gocco printer. we bought out invitation stock last night from papersource, and there was another bride in there with her mom. TH whispered to me "hey, check me out, i'm a good fiancee, doing this stuff together". and i was like, yes you are. he's been so great on all this. so calm when my brain is about to explode.

friends, robbie and hannah, took us on a whirlwind tour of georgetown suitary. we ended the night with cupcakes from georgetown cupcake. note: toasted marshmallow, not a fan. but robbie and hannah? yes. and you know what? i like getting advice from the marrieds, ok, i like it! it makes me feel better to know that other people had to plan a wedding once and it also was full of follies. yeesh. how many days til march 6th?

also this weekend there were two parties, one of which i hosted, and they were equally fun. i love friends crowding around in a small space, catching up, laughing, dancing, etc. i have such a great support network here, and i feel so lucky!

in case you care, wedding planning is actually coming along quite nicely, save a few details, but lets focus on the good, mmk?

oh also, pizza paradiso has the most amazing can't-stop-thinking-about-it special pizza right now - butternut squash, brussel sprouts, pine nuts, and parmasean. just go and get it.

aaaaand...that's it.

Vomit pizza.
We will be having way finer cuisine at Lizzie's party this weekend. I'm talking Chick-Fil-A, smiley face french fries, and a dragon cake. And the dragon cake will be eating tiny princess cupcakes.
Jealous?

i just read the sentence "toasted marshmallow, not a fan" and laughed out loud. i don't know why. probably because of the exchange btwn you and th: "i don't like marshmallow." "no, you don't."

some more unsolicited advice--take a yoga class, or at least do the part from the end of the class where you lay on your mat with a blanket on your hips and abs and release tension. mmmm. that sounds so good right now. i never did that before the wedding, but i did it today and it felt great. in fact, before the wedding, i did just the opposite... robbie and i did STEP AEROBICS together. another thought that makes me laugh out loud. he's going to be mad that i wrote that on a public forum. in the form of a mini-blog.
