6. What's the weather forecast for today where you live? Or do you just look out the window like I do?    High of 50, Low of 36 and partly cloudy.  Hate this weather

Oh my god, I would do anything for a full day of sleep back in my own bed.  Every since we had this house fire, we are staying in this craphole of an apartment and I'm not sleeping well at all.  I'm sure stress and still being bored out of my mind at my job doesn't help either.

I have felt like I've been stuck in the middle of so much lately.  First between my mom and my grandma, my mom and my brother, my mom and my sister.... seriously?  Why can't any of you people be adult's?  It's driving me insane.  (Yes, common factor is mom.... however, I don't blame her at all on any of this)

Then, I am on the board of a non profit and there was a fundraiser for it last night.  I swear, I do quite a bit more than the other board members, but it's not enough I guess.  My fiance and I had plans at the same time as the fundraiser and I was given the hugest guilt trip about not attending.  It was bad.  It seriously made me think about stepping down from the board even though it is something I truly care about.  Why do people have to be so petty about things?  So, we did end up going to the event - you know what?  Hardly any of the board members were there!  Why was I the one to be made feel like crap when no one showed up.  I also got the stink eye because we didn't dress up for it.  Meaning, I didn't put a dress on.  We had jeans and nice shirts on.  Oh well......get over it.

I am very very excited for this weekend.  It's the Halloween and Put in Bay, my favorite event of the year!  I am going to drink all damn weekend and go crazy.  I slutted my costume way up and am going to look smokin hot!  I wish my fiance liked Put in Bay and would go.... but then again, this is total me time and I enjoy it.

I just need one night a week, one night

My schedule is so ridiculously crazy.  Every single night I have something.  So, I'm trying to cram catching up on emails/TV shows/sleep and reading in one night every other week - if I'm lucky.  Now, granted, part of my schedule includes work outs, which I'm thankful I can fit those in.  I am so far behind on my favorite shows. 

We booked our honeymoon today, this takes a HUGE stress of my shoulders.  I was afraid we were taking too long and nothing would be available.  Our original plan was to go to Italy for two weeks and explore.  However, we had that house fire in August and in it, it's depleting our funds big time.  Insurance is fantastic and we have no issues with them covering replacements for everything.  BUT, we had planned on doing some home upgrades after the wedding - painting, carpeting, hardwood floors.  So, since they are replacing everything now, we might as well do the upgrades, and that we have to pay out of pocket for.  We are ending up spending about $10,000 in this whole mess.  That's $10,000 less to spend on the honeymoon.  I am very bummed about the Italy cancellation.  However, in the same thought, I know we will be very stressed after the wedding and Italy would be a busy trip, not a relaxing trip.  It may be for the better, but I'm nervous we'll never make it to Italy now.

Back to the fact we did book today.  We went through a travel agent at Central Travel and they have booked Antigua for us.  I am pretty excited for this place.  It's an all inclusive small, private beach, resort - Hermitage Bay.  We will be in a hillside cottage that has a veranda, outdoor shower and private pool.  This place will be so relaxing and perfect for us to begin our lives and hubby and wifey.  I cannot wait. 

I had last Monday off for Columbus Day and I got to spend it shopping.  It was one of those perfect shopping trips.  I don't have a lot of extra money to spend, but I did need to find some things.  I ended up finding just the right amount of clothing during the trip, for what I had to spend.  Come on, that never happens!

I also had another appointment with my plastic surgeon.  I did get a breast enhancement back in February of this year (one of the top 5 best choices I've ever made).  He is redoing his website and wants to use me as a before and after picture.  That felt really good, since some days I'm really scared that I didn't go big enough.  

I'm on the Toledo Komen Race for the Cure steering committee and we had our wrap party this week.  I found out that we had more participants that the Cleveland Race and the Chicago Race.  How awesome is that?  Our city is small and it's so heart warming to have that many involved.  We came very close to raising a million this year.  What a huge deal!

Our puppy turns one today.  He is currently living with my mom, since the fire.  Neither one of us can get home for lunch to let him out, so she has kept him for us.  I miss being able to spend this big day with him.  He is such a cutie!

We don't have a lot planned for this weekend.  I'm gonna do dinner with my love and catch up on some things hopefully.  Tomorrow is the opening of the Toledo hockey league, the Walley and we are heading to that with our favorite couple. I LOVE hockey.  And we'll spend Sunday at my moms, with our baby.  He'll get special mommy and daddy time on Sunday for his birthday.  I'm thinking of ordering a cake from a local baker that makes doggie cakes.  OH and we are doing our first wedding cake tasting with her!  Ok, so maybe we do have a lot planned.

Here I go again...

I created a blog for my fiance and I and in doing so, I thought it's time to get mine back going again. I want to have a way to remember everything! Today is the first day of October and I figure, it's just as good time to start now as any other time.


I've deleted all the old posts. It's time to get past the depressing part of my life and take all the enjoyment I have in. I still have the same old issues, I just have a lot more to be grateful for now.


I'm currently living in a temporary housing apartment with my guy, due to a condo fire. We are planning a wedding for June of next year. I am so extremely excited at the thought of being his wifey. He is the most caring, gorgeous, successful, ambitious guy I know and I'm lucky to have him.


We have a good friend getting married this weekend. I'm excited to be part of this event with them. She is a beautiful person and will make a beautiful bride!
