Wedding registry and Super Bowl

Today, Joey and I woke up somewhat early to eat our pre-workout meal and then 2 hrs later we went our separate ways to work out. I think there was only one other person at the gym when I got there hahah I got my cardio over and done with and then we headed out to Macy's to register for our wedding. I have to say - it is definitely confusing to try to figure out what you need and also to keep separate what you want! hahah

Also, it was suuuuch a nice day today! I was only wearing a little beach dress and I wasn't cold at all. Oh, we did take some pictures yesterday from the wine tasting that I'll have to post later. I think we have all the wines down and can check that off the list now. PHEW! I just want to get all the details finalized because it's getting to be way too stressful. And on top of me trying to focus on work and my competition - I'm exhausted.

Anyway, after Macy's we headed out to Goleta to get some stuff at Costco. We also looked at pricing of vodka out there. It's ok prices but we are looking into having the Wine Grotto in Montecito cater the bar so that we don't have to think about it too much. Lots easier. After Costco we went home so I could drop off Joey so he could watch super bowl while I headed to the tanning salon to beef up my color a bit (didn't do much as I'm still pasty as hell haha).

Now I'm stuck on the couch waiting to see who's gonna win Super Bowl 2012. I'm hoping for the Patriots since the niners didn't make it :( lame...

Oh, well. I can't believe how booked I am all the time! Next weekend Amy is due with her son and it's Linda's baby shower and we have to continue to register. Right now I can't think further than that so... I'm going to take a nap - yes, I know it's 6:45pm but I'm still going to take a nap! Naps are awesome!

My secret love of tanning

I have to admit... I LOVE tanning beds! I know they are sooo horrible for you and I haven't been in a tanning bed in years. Until now. I'm only tanning from Feb-May12th hhaha It's for my competition and the wedding. It's just so nice and relaxing to lay there, be surrounded by light and warmth and know that you're getting a tan in the process! hahha

Training is going really good :) Tomorrow it's hair cut time and then wine tasting which I'm excited about. I'm hoping we can line up all the wines and try them next to each other that way we can give them scores right of the bat. Stef is also coming with to help out as she she knows more about wine than Joey and I do.

I can't believe I only have 36 days left today... It's gone by faster than I thought and it's been a huge struggle but I'm doing it and I'm getting thru it. That I have to say feels pretty amazing.

One of my bridesmaids, Amy is due with her baby boy on Feb 11th and it's so exciting! It's her first baby and I think she's a bit nervous as it looks like she up for a c-section. Yikes! I'm hoping all goes well for her.

Time to watch a movie!

Tattoo?!

Hi y'all!

So, I knew I wanted to get a tattoo before the wedding but couldn't quite muster up the courage to actually do it. Then I realized that I have purchased 2 months of unlimited tanning at different tanning salons (so one month at one place and one month at another) and you can't tan right after you get a tattoo so...  I just went for it a few weeks ago. It hurt like hell but I absolutely LOVE it! I got it done at Golden Eagle Tattoo here in DT SB.

As far as the wedding, Joey and I have now registered at Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn. We are going to register at Macy's this weekend. Other than that we are still working on finalizing the rentals as well as the ceiling swag and both quotes are EXPENSIVE... *sigh* not sure where all the cash is supposed to come from!

I'm a bit all over the place b/c I haven't slept well lately and I now have to work from 7-5 Mo, Tu, Thu, Fri. Wed are 6:30-4 and then go work out right after then eat and try to get everything else done. PHEW!

I have 37 days until my bikini competition and I just received my clear stripper heels. hahaha I have to walk around in them to try to soften them a bit. Last night I put on my bikini and my heels and for the first time I think ever I felt amazing about my body! It was a great feeling!!! The not being able to eat candy is still a struggle for me and I really miss it. I can't wait for the competition to get here so I can eat and drink again! hahaha

This weekend I'm going to go with Linda to get a hair cut and then wine tasting for our wedding wine. I'm not supposed to drink so I'm only going to have VERY LITTLE. Just enough to taste to see if I/we like it

Ok, I'm going to rest for a little then off to the gym... again.... I'll post some before and after pictures soon. :)
