rants & raves.

i have come to terms with the fact that i like the idea of blogging much more than i like the act of blogging.
i do like reading everyone else's blog tho...
honestly, i don't have much time to do much of either between babies, grown babies & wedding planning.
the wedding planning is going splendid. we changed the location of the reception from grammy & papa's house to a hundred year old church's parish hall that over looks the ocean. it's somehow cheaper than renting tents and heaters. don't ask me how. it's super cute though (and there's a link on our wedding website). invitations are all addressed, we will be sending them out soon! leeann and i have been doing a lot of shopping for decorations, and have found some beautiful things! it sucks tho... they don't get cherry blossoms in mendocino/fort brag, and we can't seem to find any florists who carry them so we have had to find faux (gosh, that sounds so much nicer than FAKE) cherry blossoms. not an easy feat!
my wedding dress is done, and the only dress that needs to be finished as far as the bridal party is jessie's. i am happy beyond words that all of the girls like their dresses!
our menu is done as well mostly sushi (sorry, kamecia)... but there will also be other asian inspired foods. nick's mom tried to talk me out of the sushi, saying not enough people like it. duuuude, it's my wedding... nick and i will hella eat ALL of the sushi if no one else does. don't tempt us.
i volunteered for a bay area dog rescue (www.smileydogrescue.org). i am excited to get going with that... i think i will be doing a lot of volunteering until i get a job to keep me sane. i have also been thinking about volunteering at the pound.


i hate nosey people. i hate people who pass judgement over people they don't know. i (sometimes) hate that one of my best friends carries both traits. we got in a 3 hour argument (AT WORK) yesterday because i don't believe in hell or satan. seriously? aren't people allowed to think what they want? i think the real reason she was upset is because i am 'spiritual' not 'religious' and therefore don't want and talk about jesus, christ, or the son of god said at our wedding. pffft. what the frack ever. now i'm getting all worked up again. it just really grinds my gears when people can't accept who other people are.
