Random Anniversaries and TV Sagas

Jonathan reminded me today that this is our 8 month "engagement anniversary". This tells me one thing... we've been engaged for entirely too long. It's time. We should have been married months ago. On the bright side, the gifts are really starting to pour in. Yes, gifts can pour. Several times a week the doorbell rings and I find a large box from Target sitting on my front door step. Wa hoo! This is afterall the reason you get married right? All the free gifts.

On an entirely different subject, it will be several more weeks before we get our TV service installed. Apparently the HOA approval process for a satellite dish takes up to 30 days. Great. We have now had 3 failed attempts at getting TV. Perhaps it's not meant to be? That can't be it. TV makes my days off work a lot less boring. How could one live without it?

Ok, well it's time for food. I'm off to cook a gourmet dinner of whatever I can find in my tiny cupboards. Wish me luck.

Friends quote for today:
JOEY: You probably recognize me from a little show called "The Days of Our Lives"
ROSS: Dude, it's just "Days of Our Lives"... there's no "the".
JOEY: Ok, Ross.... I play Dr. Drake Ramoray
SARAH: I'm sorry, I don't own a TV.
JOEY: You don't own a TV? What's all your furniture pointed at??

I Don't Update Very Much

It's about time I updated my blog. I hate to leave my readers waiting for new posts, but it's hard sometimes. How can I find time to update between taking naps and watching episodes of The Office? Talk about stress.

Jonathan and I will be married in 61 days. I'm looking forward to 62 days from now when we'll be on our way out of this state far far away from these crazy people I'm related to who always seem to have an opinion about everything I want for the wedding. What? Do they think they get a say just because they're related and footing the bill?? Pft. I did watch a great show on WE the other day called Bridezillas. Yikes. I'm not THAT bad. How do these girls find someone to marry them? Who wants to be stuck with that for the rest of their life? Oh wait... that's right... they'll be divorced in three to five. I'd bet money on it... if I had any left. Darn that mortgage!

We have to pay off our honeymoon in two weeks, so if any of you have been contemplating making a sizable donation to The Ramblings of my Mind, now would be the time. "Cough it up, pay the piper, gimme it." Oooo... threw the Friends quote right in the middle this time. I like to mix it up, keep you on your toes.

Ok, well it's late. I need to finish up here and head back home. That's right, Jonathan is living here at our house, I'm living with Mom and Dad. I just can't get enough!

Another Friends quote, just for kicks: "How you got three women to marry you, I'll never know."

And the weeks go on...

Man the time is flying by lately. The weeks just keep going... I can't catch up. Jonathan and I will be "The Fitch's" in about 12 weeks. Wa hoo! Hopefully before that happens my wedding dress and veil will arrive. Oh, and I'll get the invitations addressed and sent out, the salon booked, the valet booked, gifts for wedding party, new clothes for our honeymoon, pay off the honeymoon, and perhaps a little laser eye surgery. At least I'm never bored. On top of all of that I have to cook, clean, and do laundry for Jonathan. Mainly because we have a new house with a new washer and dryer and I don't want him to mess them up. No, I do not have control issues, I'm just practicing being a good wife.

We got one of those cool new front loader "high efficiency" washer/dryer combos. Although, I've heard rumors from certain family members that the efficiency of a washer/dryer comes more from the user than the machine... aka.. they're never efficient if you never use them. Weird. I have made an offer to said un-named family member to do their laundry at a discount from what the dry cleaners charge, but alas, they have not taken me up on my offer.

*Important Breaking News* We will be changing the chicken served at the reception from Chicken Limoncello to Chicken Picatta. If I knew why I would tell you. Sorry for those of you who are disappointed. If I were you I would get the beef filet anyways... it's melt in your mouth good. And seriously, who orders chicken over steak when someone else is paying? Even if you don't like red meat, I'm pretty sure it's worth it.

Well, it's late, and I should be in bed as I have to get up early for work... or to call in sick.. hmm.. as I am now fighting off some kind of sinus infection that I woke up with after being worked to death.. ahem.. er... I mean after an enjoyable event with my sis-in-law. It's ok, she pays well. I'll just send her a Dr's bill for the illness I inevitably incurred due to working insanely long hours. She'll laugh, I'll glare, she'll threaten to let me plan the rest of the wedding alone, I'll tear up the bill.

Today's post is a good example of the title of this blog, just incase you were pondering the blog's main title.

Friend's quote for the day: "Joey has a hernia, but don't worry, it's nothing that a little laser eye surgery can't fix."
I'll throw in a second one today: "Monday one day, Tuesday two day, Wednesday, where? when? what day? Thursday. The third day."
