4 months is NOT a long time.

Last night was great, despite the fact that my stomach felt grody on and off for the entire evening.

We had a chick pea and swiss chard dish over rice for dinner, and a delicious tea from my new indian cookbook (darjeeling with cloves, fennel, peppercorns, cinnamon, and cardamom. YUM), and we caught up on our days as I made cinnamon-oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies for my coworkers, (who are in a day-long meeting today), then we FINALLY put a bunch of art up in the workroom.

The workroom looks great now - more like a room we use instead of a room we store things in. We still need some storage for all the art stuff and the tools - I'm thinking, a couple of cheap dressers would be perfect, but where do we get them? We're going to keep an eye out for some at the thrift store. We NEED something by July, that's for sure.

So it was a very productive early evening. As the evening progressed, I felt more and more ill, though, so I didn't work out, but did stretch.

This morning I did 30 minutes on the ellipse, watching The Birdcage. 30 minutes was just enough to get me feeling really good, and was just what I needed. I'll do a proper workout tonight.

I wonder if I can start doing 30 minutes in the morning more often? Hmmmmm...

Now that people are getting their invites, I'm getting really excited about the ceremony and reception, instead of being stressed. Woohoo!

It is exactly 4 months from now. Geez.

This weekend I plan on (at the very least) pinning Andrew's pattern onto his material. If it goes well, I'll cut, too. (But, but... cutting is irrevocable! You can't go back from there!)

Underneath the jacket, for him, we're thinking wife-beater, pinstripe pants, and suspenders. Whatcha think?

Andrews threads sound awesome.

For cheap and roomy storage I'd go to IKEA. I can't wait to live near an IKEA again!

So when is the ceremony exactly?

Yeah, we live really close to an IKEA, which is awesome. There's even a free shuttle bus that goes from Braid Skytrain station to the IKEA and back! I've checked out their goods, actually, and they don't have anything perfect for our storage needs for the work room. I need something that's closed, so that the kittens can't get into it, but I also need something large for the bigger things. It has to be strong, too, which rules out some of the cardboard/cloth things that I otherwise liked. I'm not giving up though - any excuse to go there regularly is a good excuse!

Although I do have every intention of picking up some of their smaller storage solutions to fit inside whatever larger storage space we get, for smaller things like nails/screws/art notions and such.

About six months after I moved to chicago they opened the first IKEA there and I was in heaven. There has been a big controversy surrounding their plans to open one in/near boston and they've finally jumped through all the hoops and the opening is scheduled for summer 2005. Right when we're leaving!

The agony of it all.

Oh, I missed that question - July 18th! We're having a party on July 17th, and then the ceremony and reception on the 18th. We're trying to get as many friends as possible that do come, to stay afterwards, so we can have lots of party-type actions for days afterwards as well.

your outfits sound wicked! i got married last year on a beach in jamaica and i wore a copper dress and adam wore a chinese kung-fu suit and all the jamaicans were freaking out over *his* outfit...im like 'hello, im the bride' :) it was very fun though. enjoy every minute of the planning because it really does fly by. and get lots of 'documentary style' photos. posed ones are ok, but the ones we love the most are the candid shots.
