So the wedding is just over 6 months away and time has flown by. It's really scary thinking about how quickly the biggest day of my life is approaching. Now, don't get that confused with any thought of I'm not ready, I'm not sure or anything else...I am damn sure!
So last night when I got home from work(part time retail slave to fat bitchy women...of which sometimes I am one) and Andrew had my computer torn apart, because it was mooing at me...yea thats right it sounded like a small cow had taken up residence in the computer and was freaking me out...I mean I enjoy a good steak, a burger and sure as hell like cheese(comes from milk people!). So I would try to get on the computer and all of a sudden a low, painful sounding mooo would come on instead of the computer I was certain that whatever cow god I had offended was coming for what little was left of my soul. You know, the part not devoted to trashy reality TV, and planning my wedding. So i texted him and told him it wasn't working, didn't mention the damn thing was mooing at me. No need for him to think im a looney more than he already does, 6 months before the wedding...I need to seal the deal before I let out the true crazy!
Anyway, fast forward through the bitchy fat ladies at work to me getting home...to a no longer mooing computer...because it was slaughtered. And not even by a butcher, but by my sweet computer programming fiance! He hasn't said it mooed at him, but maybe it made some other horrifying noise, like a fart or something. Either way, he didn't say...so currently I am working on his Mac, and this is just one of the ways I know he loves me...he doesn't freak when I kill computers and instead gives me his own...thats true devotion.
Speaking of devotion this is an awesome cartoon(read almost made me piss myself when i saw it) http://www.maineiac.com/marriage/wedding_vows_pic.jpg
Anyway, in the works for the wedding are the invites, soon to be ordered in April. Which, might, hopefully...be the least stressful part of the next few months. With fittings, alterations, getting the guys tuxes, waiting for RSVPs and then putting together the god awful seating chart I might just be wearing a straight jacket over my dress!
But, in reality, my friends and family have, for the most part, been really good about helping with everything so far. As well as trying to keep me level headed and not have a freak out session.
As far as the Lb situation things are going well, I've been working a lot more up here than I was at the other stores...and most of the people seem pretty cool. The customers are the same range of super awesome, ehh and the "I want to stab you in your ugly face with a pair of dull scissors repeatedly". But, in the grande scheme of things I think there are two kinds of fat women- the ones who are happy being fat because they like food and are comfortable with themselves, and the ones who are miserable because they eat their feelings...and boy do they have alot of them!
So in the words of Marvin Gaye...LETS GET IT ON!

Getting to know you...
Well it's been a little more than 2 weeks since the move, so I thought I should update on my life right now. Moving day was hellacious, as only moving days can be. However, it went by quickly with all the help we had (a huge thank you to my family, andrews sister Ally and her bf Jon and Seanie Q). The weather in the morning was an issue, the great storm of Feb 2010 was coming to and end, and had already made me have to postpone the move 1 day and the thought of possibly having to postpone again had me sweating more than I ever had in any gym class, before any test or working any day outside in the sun. In short, I was about 2 seconds away from a nuclear meltdown that would have wiped out the Capitol area all together. So Sunday morning came and it was snowing, not a good sign at all...yet my family made the treck up and we got stuff loaded up to head to my new digs.
By the time we got to the new house, the sun had started shinning, which was a good omen. We unloaded, got the furniture organized and then Andrew and I treated everyone to dinner. Following that most people departed, which is understandable given the ride that everyone had ahead of themselves.
So the last two weeks have been spent unpacking, organizing, getting acclimated and finding the important things in life, like food places and nail salons. All in all the area seems fairly nice, lots to do, pretty much in retail central with a food place on every corner.
Getting the house organized was fairly stressful with a side of pain in the ass. Finding the space you want to put your stuff for the next couple years is really something i never had to think about or plan out before. It was always just a matter of getting things put away enough to be able to live with it that way. This time it was making a home.
So after much tension, stress and a bit of arguing the house is set up. Perfectly? no, but in reality what house is ever perfect? None, thats why its a home.
In other news, since the move I have started back up at Lane Bryant again, the store up here is a bit smaller, but the women are hilarious and pretty laid back. I'm getting alot of hours, which is good for an unemployed bride to be. However, one of the things that has definitely not changed is how bitchy some fat women are... I mean really...go have a piece of chocolate and get off your high horse, which by the way, you might be breaking.
Moving along, I am joining a gym today. The move has been very unkind to my waist line and with my wedding coming up I need to look phenomenal and right now...not so much. So its time to get my ass onto an elliptical and get rid of some jelly. Which is no easy feat given the plethora of food places in the proximity of my house. Never the less, being healthy is important and as diabetes, cancer, heart attacks and the like run strong in my family I figure I should make an effort to get healthy...and stay so. And the fact, that I have promised myself rewards along the way might help too.
So this summer is bound to be interesting and busy for this unemployed bride, and hopefully a healthy one too.
