Oh these Wine wedding favors are so cute. They are double heart wine bottle stoppers and I love the way they look. I can’t wait till the wedding to have mine. I know that I could have it now, but I will wait like everyone else. After all, that is part of the fun. The wedding is only a couple of months away and I get more excited as each day passes. You would think it was my wedding as excited as I am. That is how things are when you have a close friend like mine. Our lives have been entwined since we were kids and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I am certainly happy that I really like her fiance. He has become like a brother to me, just as she is like a sister. I am so happy for them.
Movie night
Last night was movie night. We watched two movies, one for the kids and one for the adults after the kids went to bed. The first one was The Lorax. It was a cute movie about saving the environment from corporate greed. I really liked it because of the parallel with the reality of today’s corporate society. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of companies that are trying very hard to run their companies and preserve the environment as well, but there are a lot that do not do anything at all. Their footprint on our planet is much too large, but enough about that.
The second movie we watched was Loopers with Bruce Willis. It was a really good movie that was about hit men and time travel. Time travel was outlawed in the future, but the organized crime syndicates would use it to send people back in time that they wanted killed. Someone in the past would be there when the person arrived and kill them. However, at one point the person they had to kill from the future would be their future self. They would receive a large payment and be retired from service to live the next thirty years as they see fit. As you can imagine, one of the future selves gets away and pandemonium ensues.
Golden Gate Bridge
This is a great picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. I went to San Francisco once when I was a kid. I really enjoyed the trip and seeing all of the sights. I think that perhaps I should take my kids there sometime. I know that they will like it. If we go that far, we could go to Washington State or Oregon and see the whales as well. I know that they would love that.
A little fun
Have you ever been to a psychic? I have and they can be a lot of fun. A small fair came into town a couple of days ago and we walked around it for a few hours this morning. They had a fortune teller tent, so my friend Sally and I decided to go in and see what she had to say. It was enlightening. I had my Tarot cards read and then she looked at our palms and gave us all kinds of information about ourselves. I thought it was totally cool.
When we got home, I decided to look up psychics online and do a little research. They are a lot more popular then they used to be. You can get readings from lots of different sources and ways. From phone calls to online tarot programs, there is no limit to it. I didn’t realize that this kind of spirituality had gone mainstream. I think it is really cool though. I will have to get my cards read more often, because the woman who did it, hit the nail on the head. Everything she said was true. I am definitely encouraged to try it again, that is for sure.
OMG
I have never seen a more beautiful horse in my life. He is unbelievable, just like a work of art. It reminds me of that book I read and watched the movie when I was a kid. It was called Black Beauty. The real horse was named Cass Ole. I got to see him at a horse show when I was a teenager. I even had my picture taken with him. The horse show was the World Famous Lipizzaner stallions. They do amazing tricks and are amazing to watch. I really miss being a kid at times like these.
Letters to Santa
Well the annual letters to Santa have been sent via the Northpole.com website. The kids love this site, because the letters are actually answered. There are also games and activities for them to do on the site as well. We have a lot of fun every year sending our letters to Santa.
Wedding favor boxes
Wedding favor boxes versus bags. That is the question right now. We have been unable to decide on what ones she wants. We have looked and looked, but unfortunately nothing has really popped out at us saying “this is it!”. So we keep looking and hopefully we will find something she likes soon.
In the mean time, we have picked out a lot of the other stuff. We just cannot order some of it until the boxes versus bags is solved. We have to make sure that everything will fit first. It’s not like it is much really, but we have to be sure.
Loving the purple
I love how nature can make the most beautiful scenery. This purple water fall and trees around it are just amazing. The wonder of nature never ceases to amaze me. I hope that you guys enjoy the pictures I post for you. I do try to find really good ones.
Unity Candle Ceremony
This Unity Candle Ceremony is going to be so pretty. I love the symbolism of it. There is so much more to do in planning. I am so busy with everything, I don’t know whether I am coming or going. Life always get so hectic at this time of year too. I have to look up the venue and get the address. I need to go check a few things out over there, so I know what I will be doing decoration wise. That way I can have a plan in my head, ahead of time. I may even draw out the floor plan and such to make it easier. I shall have to see.
Wedding guest book
The wedding guest book has arrived. I have put aside certain containers for storage of all the wedding stuff as it comes in and is assembled. The containers all have lids to keep it safe from kids and pets as well. I always keep containers for camping or boating. They always come in handy for other things as well. This time for a wedding.
I have a few things to go over tonight on my lists. I have a ton of lists for so many different things, that I had to start a binder for it all. It has helped immensely to organize it in this manner. Each section is dedicated to what is needed, how many has been ordered and how many come in, etc… Planning is what I do best!
