One thing after another

So, I met up with my friend Adele yesterday at the Neighborhood. It was great! We had a few Coronas and ate some apps. She's studying to become a Nurse which is really cool but she's saying that the City College program has a loooong wait list so that sucks. After I left there I went home and pretty much crashed.


Today was a stressful day at work and this whole week just flew by. I'm looking forward to my coffee tomorrow but I'm getting it iced b/c it's been sooo hot here! After work Joey and I are going to Creative Catering Services to try the food. Very excited!!!

Joey and I are going to lunch together tomorrow - just haven't decided where. Perhaps some sushi or mexican food :)

Too tired to type more lol

Zzzzzzz...

I think we have a venue!

The possible place is the Greek-Orthodox church! I got an email today letting me know that it's available for our date. We are meeting with the person on the 6th to see the room and to talk details. :)

Tonight we're off to Arnoldi's for dinner. It's Lynda's birthday not to be confused with the lovely Linda with whom I had lunch today :) Watch out for bees!!! :)

Ok, need to go

Ciao!

Busy week

Busy bee this week... Today I worked out with Amy. Then home to eat dinner, make some earrings and after that made lunch for tomorrow - tuna as usual

Tomorrow Joey and I are going to Lynda's birthday dinner at Arnoldi's (have to squeeze in cardio before!). Never been there before so it should be interesting. It used to be Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's fave place when they lived here so I hope it can live up to the hype :)

Wednesday I'm meeting with my friend Adele - it was her b-day last week and I told her I would take her out for a drink and to catch up. Haven't seen her in forever. We're going to a bar called The Neighborhood. It's super mellow and they have a happy hr that's extremely cheap! Suits my wallet juuust fine :) No time for cardio but that's ok

Thursday I just have work and working out - I pulled a muscle in my chest so I have to be really careful. I initially pulled it last week and was finally healed - or so I thought - pulled it again tonight. Guess I do too heavy weights heheeh

Friday we're meeting our wedding planner and then heading over to John Savage's house. He's the owner of Creative Catering Services. He's making us dinner so we can try it and see if we would like to hire him as our caterer for the wedding. Oh, and I will also have to get some cardio in on Friday.

Saturday we have two birthday parties AND I have a makeup trial. It's my friend Nicole who said she's fab and she'll do it for free. Better look good since I have to go down town after hahhahaha

Still waiting to hear back from the Greek-Orthodox Church. No one has called us back and I called during my lunch today and left another message. I think if it's available - we're taking it!!! :) Fingers crossed for us people

Ok, EXHAUSTED and going to bed

John Blund coming my way...

Wedding Photographer

So, our coordinator set up a meeting with a photographer. We were kind of set on this one - K. She takes AH-mazing pictures but is definitely over budget. The one we met with last night - J. Also takes amazing pictures and is way more in our budget. She lowered her pricing under what she normally charges and as we were talking she lowered it even more! Unbelievable!!! Then I talked to my mom and she said she's got two other potential photographers that she knows that are willing to do it for next to nothing for us. One I definitely know is a no go - don't like that person's pictures. But the other one has taken a lot of pictures of celebs in Hollywood and might be an option. Depends... If he's charging more than J then we are definitely going with her.

Today we got up and went to the Greek Orthodox church which is about 10-15 minutes from here up in the mountains. Check out this video I took of the outside - it was closed and we had not made an appointment so we just went to check it out

Joey called them on Friday and left a message to see if it's available for May 12th, 2012. If it is - I think it miiiiight just be the place. Being up in the mountains it's very quiet and serene up there. You get the venue for 10 hours which is great and there is chairs and tables included which is great. 

After checking out the church Joey and I went to work out and get that out of the way lol gotta look good for the wedding!!! :) After that we just walked around town and browsed. No cash to shop with since we're saving all of it... Very VERY difficult for me to NOT shop... It's like putting a mountain of chocolate in front of a chocoholic and tell them they can't eat it! Brutal hahaha

After we walked around we finished up Take Him to the Greek or what it's called. It's a f-ed up movie hahahah

Now we are both just relaxing on the new couch that we love and just hanging out. Aaahhhh 

Enjoy your evening!

 

Scotch on the Rocks?

Today is one of those days where I had scotch/whiskey at home... I don't so it's Champagne on the Rocks LOL It was SUUUCH a hellish day at work today!!! It was just so crazy and then I got a doctor's bill that just put me over the edge b/c I shouldn't be paying what they want me to pay and the one person I need to get a hold of I can't!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH

So, I went with an old little bottle of Champagne that I have and some dark chocolate. Even though Joey and I are meeting with someone to talk about the wedding at 7 tonight... What ever... I need this right now. Oh, did I mention that the Champagne is flat so it's like drinking white wine which I don't care for very much so then you can understand really how bad I need this! ha!

And on top of this I added the show "Say Yes to the Dress" hahaha TGIF!

Enjoy your weekend!!!

Graduation Terror

So... This graduation stuff in this country is way too big. I understand if your parents and siblings go but please people - don't make anyone else have to sit thru it! We all know you mostly partied your way thru school so why should I have to be forced to sit on a horrible uncomfortable chair (worsens my back problems), be cold, and INCREDIBLY bored?! I am just asking.

I am letting everyone know that for my future children - I only expect grandparents as a must. Anyone else who wants to come is more than welcome to but there is NO obligation. DO NOT FEEL PRESSURED into coming because I understand and I know how HORRIBLY boring it is. You sit there for about three hours then the person walks on stage for about 10 seconds then you have to sit there for another hr to see the rest of the ppl walk. Why oh why this torture???

Yes, at the moment I am very frustrated and annoyed... If I do end up going to another graduation I better ask my doctor for some more vicoden so I can pop those like it's candy to get thru it hahhahah 

Oh, and did I mention that tomorrow is Friday and I get my usual Starbucks? Excited!

Xoxo

Happy Hr?

I love Happy Hr. Too bad it's over so soon. Most places stop it at either 6 or 6:30. Well news flash people - I work until 5! How am I supposed to be able to get somewhere order a drink and some appz before 6?! Sheesh!!! LOL

I think in order to make the weeks more fun I should go to HH with a different person every or every other week It's good to get out for a little and that way I get to catch up with all my friends. I do feel like I have been neglecting lately. I already have a few fun people in mind - now I need to see if they are available :)

AND it would be fun to go to a different place every time too. Try out different drinks and food.

Work has been super slow this week and I think it's because a lot of ppl are at the CTIA trade show in FL. Our office has been suuuper quiet. I managed to work out Mon, Tues, and Wed. Hopefully I can do tomorrow and Friday as well. My friend A. wants me to go to a bootcamp Sat am at 8:30. It's just SO early! Weekends are the only two days I get to sleep in and it gets me thru the week. Ok, so if I don't go to that then I definitely have to go do cardio hehhe Now that it's written down I guess I can't get away hahha

Work out and be healthy!

Oh and :( Rest In Peace Elizabeth Taylor - you were one amazing actress and I hope you are one shining star up there as well
