Wedding Nightmare

I think it's only fair that I extend my nightmares to the blogger community, if not for your amusement but for mine in about 9 months.

Last night I had ANOTHER wedding nightmare, granted these nightmares are few and far between but I'm pretty sure that there's going to be more and more of these to come especially as the wedding date gets closer.

So my dream involved my wedding day and everything going wrong, which is pretty typical. In this instance I was looking everywhere for my dress and I couldn't find it! I guess it was really far away because in my dream I was running and running to find it and my mom told me that it would take "45 days to run there". This is while my reception is going on so my biggest concern is that I'm the host of this party and I'm not even there having fun!

Well also, good 'ol fiance decided that it's appropriate to wear gym shorts and an old college t-shirt to the reception. I begged him to change and he finally did.

It was so dumb. It was really dumb.

Thanks for reading.

I'm gonna give you an STD


I should clarify that STD is my abbreviation for "Save The Date".

Dresses

Ok, so I'm no fashionista... or facist (fashist) as Joey Tribiani would call me. But I've gotta start talking about my wedding dress. Here are a few that I really like and would like to try on next weekend.
There is something about this fluffy bottom that I really like... I'm sure that "fluffy bottom" is the exact fashion term for this wedding dress... gown. I don't know why but the word "gown" totally is annoying to me! Wedding DRESS.

Other styles I like but am too tired to look for pictures:
-flowy, no "fluff", but I also dig the fluff
-A-line, something with a little shape I guess
What I don't like are the big poofy Ball Gown (those can be called gowns) cuz they're too, .... (5 minute pause while thinking for the right word) awkward? That doesn't quite capture it. I guess in my mind the ball gown would be awkward to dance in, like how are you supposed to "get low" and "to the window and to the wall" if you've got this like 8 foot diameter dress surrounding you all day?
That's my fashion advice, take it with two grains of salt and call me in the morning.

Guess what I'm doing this weekend?


Harry Pottah

Helloooooooo to the 3 people who read my blog, about 1 of you on a consistant basis.

I HAVE to tell you about this amazing, dare I say it, MAGICAL, night I had last night.

Most of the 3 of you know that I'm quite obsessed with the Harry Potter francise, perhaps having a crush on a certain Daniel Radcliffe, and also wishing that I was ThatWeasley at times... but alas I can only live vicariously though the movies that come out so infrequently, but when they do it always lives up to my expectations.

So let me tell you something that might have you gasp for breath, please take a seat. I have something POSITIVE to say about my job! Ok is everyone calm now? Well ok I'll tell you anyways... I got hooked up with free tickets to an early showing! Most of those muggles who you've seen facebook status updates about how awesome HP 7.1 was had to wait until the midnight showing, but I was given an opportunity to see the moviefilm at 7:00 PM, a full 5 hours before the rest of those loons who I saw waiting in line for the midnight showing at 9:45 pm whilst leaving the theater.

Let me paint you a picture, it's Wednesday and I'm on my lunch break about to grab my phone/ipod things to go for my daily walk (Side note, I will walk every day during my lunch even through winter in order to get a bodacious bod for the wedding that is less than 8 months away) when one of the firm's fixed income traders walks out and asks "Would anyone like to see the Harry Potter premiere tomorrow?". I immediately threw up my hand, like a reflex, it was instinct. I HAD to see it!

I was able to work my "magic" and get my friend Jen in to watch the show too. Not that I wouldn't go to a movie by myself but it's one of those things that's more fun when you're with someone.

Imagine this, you're signing in and they give you SILLY BANDZ (is it with a Z or do they spell it "bands"... I dunno I'm like 80) and a wristbad. We are directed up the escalator to a man in a wizard costume who reminds me very much of Mickey Mouse in Fantasia. What's this you say, he's directing us to our own special concession stand line? Why all of you know that concession prices are outragous so I will walk to my seat and watch the movie. NOT! Bank of America (who sponsored this evening, I almost don't feel mad at them anymore for making me pay all those overdraft fees. ALMOST.) provided all of the treats that we could want. So what does my awesome, self-sabatoging, ass get? LARGE popcorn, LARGE cherry coke, Sour Patch Kids, and Milk Duds... and I didn't have to pay a nickel! It was just plain amazing!

Anyways, it was quite literally a magical evening and I had a blast going with Jen! I highly recommend the movie to all muggles/mudbloods/purebloods/goblins/dementors/and other amazing creatures who's names I can't spell.
