347 Days Until the Wedding

This is very un-wedding related, but I get to sleep in tomorrow! *does happy party dance*

347 Days Until the Wedding

Why must I get sick? Seriously, now. I'm tried of it. If it's all just a random joke on me, than ha ha. I laughed, it can stop now. Really. The Germ Collective has won. You can move onto another target now. Thanks.

On the plus side I'm read well over 300 pages now. 'course I've felt like crud whilst doing so, but hey.

oh, erm. Marriage prevents you from getting sick right?

348 Days Until the Wedding

I just finished #8 on the list.

What's number 8, you ask? Can't you read invisible type?

Gotting the new Harry Potter, silly! ;)

348 Days Until the Wedding

I look forward to the day when we can order all groceries online. In fact, I look forward to the time when all grocery stores are virtual; all employees of grocery stores will be webmasters, coders, delivery persons, system administrators, and upper management. Then we'll all have more time to do...non grocery shopping. Of course, there will have to be a huge database full of carton pictures, including nutritional information, container size, etc.

You see, I've grown to not like grocery shopping. It used to not be such a big deal, but then I suddenly have little extra time during a day. Grocery shopping makes this small amount of time even smaller. If we could eliminate the need for an actual physical store, we'd eliminate lost time.

Tonight I hope to cut my total grocery shopping time to 20 minutes. Wish me luck.

Oh erm. This is all for planning for the future. You see, eventually we'll have children. Kids = time. More time = more kids. Er, more time to spend with the kids. Something like that. More time to spend with kids means less frantic rushing to the store, children in tow. If anyone's visited a grocery store recently and seen parents there with small children, I am certain they've gotten it into their head that it's a situation to avoid if possible (I don't think it is). Mandatory Virtual Grocery Stores (MVGS) woudl be the perfect solution to this.

I have a dress! It's pretty :) I can't talk about it here though because Matt reads this. Email me if you want to know details.

Everyone visit our wedding message board! Socialize & start getting to know each other :o)

You have to register to post, but you're registering strictly for our forum so nobody we don't know will be able to post... It's safe to use real names & that will cut down on trying to remember which fake name goes with which real person.

360 Days Until the Wedding

Matt, I wish I knew where your book was, but I don't.

The good news of the day is that I will soon have a way for all of our wedding spending to come out of one account. Hooray for my awesome credit union!

360 Days Until The Wedding

Does anyone know where I put my Idiot's Guide to Being a Groom? I don't think it's in my apartment. Somebody remind me to look for it when I get home; I think it may be in the swan basket. I much prefer trying to learn stuff by reading a book then trying to find it on the web.

Gee, photographers cost a lot. I wonder, with the photo-taking, and the developing, and all that, how much they make an hour. I realise Amy was going to handle that, but sometimes, you know, you get thinking after you see things like "Nonlinear iteration is not converging with step size reduced to hmin (2.278630990111975e-039) at time 6.413776048739496e-025. Try reducing the minimum step size and/or relax the relative error tolerance," about 50 times in a row.

I informed Steve yesterday finally that he is in charge of the Bachelor Party, just to make sure he has some idea of best man stuff. ...where's my grooms guide book, anyway?

361 Days Until The Wedding

Not much new to report except that last night I finally talked to Ginny about her work schedule. By the end of the month I might just have my wedding dress :o)

Lists are mostly made now, just have to start making phone calls... oh if only I could convince a certain bridesmaid/sister of mine to learn to call people on the phone *cough*Lisa*cough* then maybe she could help me out with that.

364 Days Until the Wedding

Well, Matt & I didn't make much progress today. Turns out I need to call my credit union on Monday & talk to them about some things before we can decide on how we're paying for things. And as you can see he has yet to post. But tomorrow before Matt goes back to Rochester we're going to make our lists and at least that will be done :o)
