I have barely posted in like 3 weeks I know!! I'm trying to remember. Work was crazy busy for a while and I finally have a lull here before it goes bonkers again. I have been on here, reading others posts, and commenting now and then. So i'm not completely out of touch. I thought I would update everyone on what's going on here, in bullet form... hopefully I don't yammer on too much.

• Spring break here is 2 weeks, which meant I got to sleep in for 2 weeks. But then the web page work through the business took off and I was typing like a madwoman for the first week of it.
• A week and a half after all the kids were back in school after spring break, they got a 4 day weekend for Easter. My oldest's internal schedule was just all thrown off I think, but she's back to normal now.
• My youngest turned 3 last monday on 420 (Im sure some will find that amusing) We just had a small party with just us. I didn't have the energy to do more. And she didn't really notice anyway. She loved her gifts, and got apple cake with chocolate glaze and gummi bears, so she didn't care either!

• I think I hammered out about 5 web pages the past month. Most are real simple, 6 to 12 pages with a little back end work so they could add content. Nothing huge.
• We have 2 or 3 coming up that could be real huge tho. Including adding shopping carts!

• Weather here is off again on again warm, mixed with rainy days.
  
• I had to mow the lawn on the weekend before it got too high, and I think I nearly croaked.

• Lee is a bit of a hypocondriac. My youngest has allergies... hay fever I think because Lee has it too. And he's getting me to check her for fever in case she has swine flu.... sigh...
• He also has on a couple occasions, thought he had flesh eating disease... because he found a red spot...
  
• It's infuriating.
• Im just making sure I get the kids to wash their hands more. Even though we are not near any areas that have confi

  rmed cases, it doesn't hurt.

• I got my bridesmaid dress in the mail. I haven't tried it on to see if it needs altering. Frankly Im afraid to find out its small... but I think Ive done well.
• I cut out beer the past month... excuse me while I go cry for a bit.
• Hopefully that helps cut some calories.
• The dress is more of a cinnamon color since the original green one wasn't available. My friend called back to let me know and help me pick out more colors and order them from most preferred to least preferred, just in case
• This image is fairly close.
  

• I got the hotel booked for the wedding, and I am hoping to make it down in time for the stagette. I think if we leave by 2pm I'm good.

• Other than that, Im just waiting for good planting weather to get the garden in.
  
• This year we're doing: acorn squash (soooo much better than storebought), tomatoes (cherry and roma), peppers (all colors), onions (green and purple), and several herbs
• We're going to do Upside Down Tomatos actually.
• It's a neat planting process.

So that is me. Im sure I'll think of more tomorrow that I totally forgot.
I'm just hungry at the moment.

Well, my friend asked for the bridesmaid measurements this week.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Crap.

My will power sucks great big hairy balls.

Sorry for that visual.

But, the dress is nice, and she wants each bridesmaid to wear a different color: dark red, dark purple, royal blue and dark green. (That link is to the closest example of the dress she chose) Fortunately, I like all the colors, and 2 have been taken by the other girls, which leaves the royal blue, and a dark green (called Patina) to me and her sister. I could go with either one actually. They're both very nice. I did note a preference for the green in my email back to my friend.

So this weekend I take my measurements, and send them off. And for my oldest daughter too actually. She would like her to be the flower girl. With the girls and her outgoing attitude she is hard to resist actually.

I still have time to lose weight. With that style of dress it should be easy to take in just the waist part if it ends up too big on me by the time the wedding rolls around.  So I'm not too worried. Just yet.
