I am going to ask my bloggies to say their prayers to the job fairy/god/guru - my dear Beloved has applied for a job here and he's got a phone interview coming up. I'm trying really hard not to get too excited because this is the first application but it is sounding good for him.
Wowsas...
Good thing, the wedding is 7 months and 27 days away and I'm kinda going to need to live in the same state as my husband.
I'll keep this updated as we find more out.
On another note, my wedding diet has started again, full swing. I've got 25 lbs to lose and as of this week I've lost 2. 23lbs to go!
I've been really good this week. I've only got to exercise once because it's been butt-ass cold and windy outside. On the downside, my sugars dropped really low on Monday night and I thought I was going to go into a coma at my favorite bar in the bathroom.

I forgot about my poor little blog. What can I say, I've been a busy girl...
Last weekend was an awesome weekend! I got to buy my super beautiful wedding dress, went to a hockey game, and went to an 80's party at a skating rink. It was one of the best weekends I've had in awhile! It was crazy busy and I didn't even get one nap in but it was totally worth it. I got to see both of my bubbies, my gparents, and visit with my long lost BFF. Awesome, awesome.
I'm finally well. Or so it feels for now. Almost every single person I know has had either bug #1 - the coughing, sneezing, can't breath thing or bug #2 - the poops and the pukes. I was lucky enough to get #1 but it's taking a long time to go away. I was afraid the Bossman was going to give us all bug #2 because he had a damn fever the other day and wouldn't go home. Nice, huh? Anyway, the good thing to come out of this is that I haven't been smoking like normal. I have gone like 8 of 11 days without smoking. I'm going to try to only smoke when I drink, we'll see how that goes. So far so good. But my Love is coming home tonight and that means he'll take me out, and I might just have to drink. Maybe.
My Vday turned out okay and it was actually kind of surprising, considering I'm really not a fan of the day. My sweets sent me a cute ecard first thing in the morning. I got some new slipper socks from Bosslady. I bought everyone breakfast (but the picky shits didn't eat it so I did today LOL). I went home and the Roomies and I made dinner. I made beer bread, roasted sweet potatoes, grilled avocado, and the sauteed mushrooms. Dad made the steaks. Momma P made the salad. It was a perfect dinner, especially once I found a bottle of Smoking Loon Pinot Noir in the pantry that I forgot I had bought. After dinner I found my pj's and settled in with my new lover, HD DVR, and some Lost. Oh, and I bought T a book that I'm sure he'll never read and that's too bad because it's great. It's called Well Groomed: A wedding planner for what's his name (and his bride). It's really funny and I hope T takes the time to at least browse through it, it's got great wedding advice for the guys.
BTW: Wedding date - 8 months, 10 days. I've got a lot going on with it right now. I've decided that we're having BBQ for our dinner, added a margarita machine (or two), and we rented a whole 'nother room for the reception. I've got to make an appointment with the florist for next week and we're going to try a new BBQ place this weekend that I've heard good things about. All of the parents are starting to chime in on their opinions and I'm none too fond of any of them. Weddings are a control freak's nightmare. That bridezilla is in all of us...
Here's my Friday Fun, from Friday's Feast.

Here's my Friday Fun, from Friday's Feast.
Appetizer
Name one thing that is unique about you. I have a large dragonfly tattooed on my stomach.
Soup
Fill in the blank: My favorite salad dressing is honey mustard but I like ranch too.
Salad
What type of wood do you have for your home’s furnishings? We will be filling our home with dark, espresso colored wood. (Can't think of the name right now, and some of what I got isn't really wood, it's that fake shit).
Main Course
Who do you talk to most often on the phone? That would be my #1, Toddles.
Dessert
What level of responsibility do you have in your job? Mmm... I'm responsible for the money that comes in and that's a lot of responsibility.

pass the puffs
I am finally back to work and near a computer after suffering from 3 days of fever, coughing, and an awful runny nose. Seems that I caught what T's roomies all had and brought it back to Oklahoma with me after our ski trip.
We had a wonderful time over the weekend. We got to St. Louis early in the evening, all thankful that the roads weren't bad from all the snow. After getting everyone to their hotel rooms and me delivered to my honey, it was time to get dolled up and head to the casino. We had a great time, actually the best time I've ever had in a casino. We all split up - boys and girls. Wanna know what the best part was? My drink of choice - Crown Royal - was only $2.50. Fabulous. Needless to say, the girls and I got pretty tanked. We were having fun, flirting with old men on the craps tables, C&C playing roulette, and really putting the drinks down. We met up with the boys and decided to try out the new nightclub, girls only again because they weren't in the dancing mood. We danced our buzzes off and had a blast! Everyone decided to call it a night and we headed to Awful House to ward off nasty hangovers for our skiing adventure the next day.
Saturday we all woke up, feeling fine and pretty pumped for the day ahead. It took awhile to get on the slopes but once we did it was fun. It was a perfect day for skiing, we even got hot in our heavy coats. Toddles was worried about my skiing abilities since we had never skied together. We got to the run we were going to try first and I took off. Next thing I know he's behind me saying "slow down" and I'm like "nooooooo" because I knew what I was doing. I proved myself...
It was a really good time. We spent all day skiing until things started getting messy and we were worn out. I only fell one time and it was my first time on a black run. Oh, and I about got knocked out by the lift because of some punk ass kid. I ended up with two bruises the size of baseballs but at least I didn't hit my head.
That night we all went to dinner with T's roomies and their kid. I finally got the prime rib I'd been craving for a month. We went to this nice little Irish pub (not with the kid) for a bit but everyone wanted to call it a night because we were exhausted.
I woke up Sunday feeling like shit. It's really a great way to travel. Can't breathe, can't sleep, just lovely, and I swear that everytime I go up there, I get sick. We got home and I went straight to bed with a nasty fever, which brings us to now - three days later and I finally feel a little better. The only reason I'm at work is because it's Bosslady/aunt's 10 year anniversary. I'm so outta here after lunch.
Do you think everyone's sick because it was like 75* on Sunday and then it's freakin snowy again today? Gotta love my Oklahoma.
