Currently I’m sitting on the couch eating some raisinets. Bobby said they help keep all that nasty lactic acid at bay, and I’m planning on working out here soon. This past week I have been prone to cramping up pretty quickly, which means I didn’t work out that much last week. It was pathetic. Luckily, I’m still hanging in there with my 15 pound weight loss. But it’s been at a stand still since then. So I’m trying to amp myself up to start FOR REALSIES again this week.

We also have a venue and date for our wedding….YEA! It’s the Farm @ South Mountain! It’s completely perfect. It will be March 28th, 2010, which, according to theknot.com, is only 203 days away. It will be in the evening, and there will be little Christmas lights up! We have a budget and a savings account ready, so I think we should be able to pay everyone by the wedding date :). That’s only if we stick to the budget. Our ceremony & reception will be at the same place, which is nice & convenient. I’m pretty excited because we get paid this Friday, and we will be able to pay the down payment, really cementing this idea. A honeymoon, however, may need to wait. :P

Speaking of work, I must bust out this little paragraphically interlude. Tuesday will be my one year anniversary. It’s cool, I know. I also never called in sick once, which may not seem like a big deal to most, but considering at my last job I (or Bobby ;)) called in almost weekly because it sucked the life right out of me every day, it’s a big step up.

Moving right along. For the past week I have been playing phone tag with a home mortgage consultant. It’s killing me! Not only the talking on the phone part, but how it takes forever for them to call back and then I’m not at my phone when they DO call back so then I miss that call, then I call them back and leave a message because they are not at their phone, and then I wait several days again. PHEW. So I’m still waiting to actually meet someone in person. I know I wont be able to afford much, but it would be really nice if I could use the tax credit as down payment. However, it expires at the end of November. Aye yi yi. I’m just excited for us to get our own place and really start decorating & painting the way we want. I would love to live downtown, actually it would be ideal, but a lot of homes in the south side are cheap-o’s, huge, and come with a pool. And if I learned anything from the Simpsons it’s that if a girls wants to be popular, she needs a pool. But I’m trying not to get my hopes up, I’m coming to terms with the fact that we may need to continue to live the apartment life.

I have a cat paw on the keyboard, so I think that is the universal cat symbol for “stop typing and pet me.” But if you see me and Bobby on March 29th and we are in our own house and married and I did not explode or end up at the loony bin, that will be amazing.
