I feel so uninspired to post anything....This will be short and blah.

Number 1: My Garmin Forerunner 305 arrived Saturday, and I'm itching to try it outside on a run! My knee however is NOT. I ran today after a four day hiatus from ANY sort of activity- besides driving a car 12 hours this weekend (Heloooo, Bridal Shower!)- and my knee started hurting. ugh. This is why I start on the treadmill and work my way outside to harder surfaces. Let's just hope the pain subsides. I stretched and stretched after my TWO mile disaster today. haha!
Number 2: The Bridal Shower. It was great- a rainy, muggy day in Augusta, GA, but the bride and groom were so pleased and loved the shower. I loved that they loved it. It was tough at times- Backstory: Amanda has four bridesmaids. I've known Amanda since Kindergarten, been close friends since 8th grade- She moved to GA after our Sophomore year of high school. She made friends, naturally, and I like them, I truly do, but I got the feeling (and my feelings are strong and ALWAYS almost right) that they looked at me (STILL!?) as an outsider. Me? The outsider? Amanda & I have shared more than they ever will.....

They looked at me like I wasn't doing a good enough job as MOH. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I felt "talked down to" at times. Whatever. The only reason my inner bitch didn't come out was because they just aren't worth it. They're like vapid air. I thank God everyday that I have a personality.

I also felt left out because I was practically the ONLY girl at the shower who was single. Ok, Ok, actually, I was the ONLY single girl at the shower...Do you have any idea how it feels to be the ONLY single girl in a house full of couples? It's like a nightmare. Events like this make me question why I'm 26 and don't even have a boyfriend...and why I don't really CARE. LOL. Don't EVEN get me started on one of the bridesmaids who got engaged THREE months after meeting her husband. BAHAH! yeahhhh.....

I'm waiting for Mr. Right. And if I'm 40 when i find him...so be it. At least I won't be divorced in 5 years. Or worse...unhappy in a marriage.

(No offense to y'all who are married. No offense to anyone who engaged after 3 months of knowing someone....well, maybe. Are you nuts?!)



Can you tell I'm just slightly wound up? This is possibly why I've avoided blogging today- I hate negativity in my blog writing, but sometimes...it helps. Might I add, three glasses of wine doesn't really censor my fast typing fingers, either. ;-)

Number 3: I'm planting my first flower bed! Hot damn...who would have thought my weekend plans would include "planting flowers" for fun. I'm so excited!! My little backyard is begging for some color and pretty things! I know I want azalea bushes (which are hugley popular here in the South), but what to put in the bed......Snapdragons? Hydrangeas? Carnations? Hmm...Do you have a flower bed? What's in yours??

It's bedtime folks. I have an early start to my morning. Welcome to the world of public affairs!

I've been a horrible blogger- but I've been so, so SO tired since last Thursday. I think it's some medicine I'm on. I'm just dead tired at the end of the day and my usual morning workouts were ceased until just this morning. I have lost another inch from my waist and 3 pounds. Since last Thursday! VERY strange, but makes me extremely motivated. I can see my bicep muscle coming out again. Oh, how I love that muscle.

In wedding news: I ordered THIS invitation for my best friend's Bridal Shower, TWICE, from two different internet stores, and it's out of stock from the actual company who produces them. oh, how I loved these. I loved the bright colors and kitchy feel.

My questions is: why won't they take them off the website if they're out of stock? Ugh!
Anyway- we're going with these instead (IF they're IN STOCK!). She still wanted the Couples theme on the invitation, and we can still use the same general colors for the shower decor.
My butt has been bitten so hard by the wedding bug the past few weeks- what with a wedding to go to NEXT weekend and all my Maid of Honor duties for Amanda- I've been dreaming of my own wedding. Can someone please find me a hilarious, smart, charming, witty man to marry? Other than that- I'm ready.

I am in LOVE with these two dresses from Demetrios. They're pretty much what I dream of wearing on my big day. Especially the first: a little lace,a little shine, strapless sweetheart neckline. *sigh*. I'm sure this dress won't be around when my time comes....


Also by the same designer, LOOK at THIS dress: In all actuality- THIS is my dream dress, but I couldn't find it online anywhere ;-)

Hope everyone of you have a fabulous Wednesday- it's rainy here. Makes my mood very BLAH. I need some cheer!
